Michael Crabcutrie, Ke Lu, Patrick Willis, Vernon Davis, Eric Ryder, Mike Ruppati, Joe Stanley, Ian Williams, Navoro Bowman, Mario Manningham, Justin Smith, Aldon Smith...... And then there's Ted Jean......

This season, the San Francisco 49ers have gone through too many ups and downs, stumbling all the way through the regular season and finally reaching the playoffs, but they themselves are exhausted and bruised, and no one knows how long they will be able to last this journey.

By the way, there's Ryan Baldwin.

If Jean and Willis don't make it to this year's playoff stage...... Lu Ke remembered the dazedness and self-blame in Justin Smith's eyes after the defeat in the National League final that year, and the mixed emotions of loss and confusion beat on his chest sullenly, making people speechless.

Immediately, Lu Ke realized that he was too negative and too pessimistic, and in the environment of the hospital, it seemed that all negative emotions were magnified.

But after a moment of silence, the chaotic thoughts surged again: vomiting blood, what does it really mean? Why did Jean vomit blood? Seriously reviewing the attack where Jean was injured, Lu Ke couldn't help but start to revisit whether his long-pass tactical choice was too risky?

Lu Ke knew that this was a wrong idea, and once the emotion of self-blame began, he would be deeply trapped in it and unable to extricate himself; But at this time, sitting alone in a chair in the hospital corridor, the empty corridor and the white flickering lights made negative emotions start to breed like this, and there is no way to control it.

"Bambi?"

There was a call in the corridor, which cut off the cranky thoughts in Lu Ke's mind, and got rid of the quagmire of negative emotions, and then saw the sound of Walter and Hubble coming out together, and Hubble, who was walking in front, was full of surprise, and he didn't expect to see Lu Ke here.

"Aren't you supposed to be at the airport?" Hubble asked, confused, "How did you end up here?" What about the others? ”

Lu Ke didn't answer Hubble's question, but stood up and took the initiative to ask, "What about Ted?" How's he doing? ”

Hubble scratched his head a little irritably, "The doctor recommends a week to two weeks off, and we still need to go back to San Francisco for an in-depth examination to find out." ”

Hubble's answer failed to meet Lu Ke's needs: What about the point? What the hell is going on with Jean? Why do you vomit blood all of a sudden? What is the physical condition? Is a week to two weeks off a good thing or a bad thing? Also, Why didn't Jean show up with Hubble and Walter?

Lu Ke's brows tightened more and more, and he cast an inquiring glance towards Walter.

Walter glanced at Hubble again and said, "Ted is fine. ”

At the beginning, Walter gave an affirmative reply, which made Lu Ke feel a little relieved.

"After examination, it was mainly due to the lack of blood flow caused by some old injuries in the past, and bruises were formed in the chest, and after today's violent impact, the body reacted, and then there was vomiting blood; Actually, this is a good thing, because all that is spit out is bruising, which is healthy for the body and promotes a whole new blood circulation. ”

"The problem now is that there may still be some internal and dark injuries that have not been recovered in time after being exposed to ferocious impact for a long time, so we have just done a full MRI for Ted, and the preliminary examination report is good news, and we will have a detailed consultation when we return to San Francisco to make sure we have not missed anything."

This isn't San Francisco after all.

It has nothing to do with the-for-tat rivalry in the same area, mainly because in San Francisco, they have their own familiar medical team and experts, who are able to conduct more targeted consultations, through detailed examinations and in-depth discussions, to grasp the specific situation in an all-round way, and then formulate a more detailed and personal recovery plan for Jean.

Therefore, now it can only be said that the preliminary inspection has passed.

"Overall, Ted is fine for the time being. For the sake of insurance, we still need to go back for a second examination, according to his current physical condition, it is best for him to rest for a period of time, so that the body can have time to adjust and recover, one to two weeks is the preliminary estimate, and the specific situation still needs to be rechecked to know. ”

Lu Ke waited again and waited to make sure that Walter had explained everything and there were no other accidents, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

After his emotions relaxed a little, Lu Ke understood why Hubble's words just now were so concise, and why he was so irritable-

It was precisely because Jean was fine, and the situation was far less serious than it seemed, that Hubble relaxed, and the first reaction in his mind was naturally the serious problem of the playoffs: Crabtree had just returned, and his condition had not been adjusted to the best for a long time; Vernon's concussion is finally lifted and he can return for the next game, but his form is a mystery; Now that Jean is injured again and may need to miss one or two games, the San Francisco 49ers receiving team has a lot of headaches.

Lu Ke took the initiative to look at Hubble and said, "I'm sorry, my attitude just now was a little impatient. ”

Hubble didn't know why, and looked at Lu Ke suspiciously for a while, and then he understood, and waved his hand nonchalantly, not caring at all.

"Don't worry, no matter how difficult the situation is, we have persevered." Lu Ke then comforted, which made Hubble scratch his head and laugh loudly, "You said don't worry, then I really don't worry, I'll leave all the situation to you, how about it?" I think that's a good idea. ”

Rarely, Hubble also made a joke. The regular season is finally over, the team is making it to the playoffs, and then after the ups and downs of Gene's injury, Hubble now needs to relax a little, otherwise the nerves will be too long for even Superman to bear.

Lu Ke chuckled, but he didn't take it seriously or respond, he looked at Walter again, "What about Ted?" Isn't the inspection over yet? ”

"He's hanging water in it and needs some nutrients. It should be almost done now, and then you can go back to San Francisco with us. Walter explained, and after a pause, he interpreted Lu Ke's gaze, "You go in, I think, he may need the company of a little friend." ”

Lu Ke nodded, didn't say anything more, bypassed Hubble and Walter, and walked towards the ward behind him.

Push open the door of the VIP room, and there is a small waiting room, and then there is a second door inside, and after pushing the door panel, there is the real patient room - it is equipped with a TV, air conditioner, stereo, desk, etc., and it looks more like a hotel room than a patient room.

At this time, Jean is lying on the hospital bed, the upper part of the bed is propped up to form a chaise longue, which makes Jean lie leisurely on the "beach chair", as if he is enjoying the sunbathing, while watching TV at the same time, there is a fruit bowl on the left hand side, the little day is very uncomfortable, there is no "vomiting blood" at all.

"Hey, Bambi! How did you get here? Jean took the initiative to say hello with a pleasant smile on his face, "I'm watching ESPN's post-match report, and I'm re-commenting and analyzing the whole game." ”

The comfortable appearance was completely on vacation, and there was no consciousness of the patient at all, which also made Lu Ke's worry and nervousness ridiculous.

But Lu Ke still keenly captured Jean's slightly pale face, even the lip flap couldn't see the blood, and the luster of his eyes quietly dimmed, even if Jean tried his best to hide it, those details were still invisible under the quarterback's hawk eye, as if the actual situation was not as serious as vomiting blood, and now Jean is not as relaxed as it seems on the surface.

In order not to worry Lu Ke, Jean is hiding his condition.

"So, did they say anything nice about me?" Lu Ke didn't pierce Jean, came to the side of the hospital bed, and sat down on the light gray sofa.

"All over! Throughout! Jean said exaggeratedly, and at the same time raised the fruit plate with his left hand and handed it to Lu Ke, "Do you need to taste a little?" It doesn't taste as good as San Francisco, but we can't ask too much of the hospital, right? After all, this is not a place to come for a vacation. ”

"You know? I thought you were here for a vacation. Lu Ke complained mercilessly, which made Jean retract the fruit plate back in a bit of amazement.

Just when Lu Ke was worried about whether he was complaining too hard, Jean's eyes suddenly widened and he shouted happily, "Got-You!" Jean nodded happily, looking at Lu Ke's stunned and frightened expression, his mood immediately flew up to the clouds, "Haha, I was able to trick Bambi, it's really worth it!" I'm going to have to show it off to everyone, the crab should be crazy with jealousy! ”

Looking at Jean, who was so cheerful and lively, Lu Ke also laughed dumbly, and raised his hands to show surrender, "Ted, I admit defeat, the patient is the biggest, I can't just pull out your infusion tube and retaliate, right?" ”

The spit tone made Jean laugh so hard that he couldn't stop laughing.

Finally, the laughter gradually calmed down, and then the corners of his mouth were a little heavy and couldn't be lifted - the happier he laughed, the more turbulent the emptiness became, and the pretended mask finally couldn't support it anymore, and then the inner entanglement and sadness rolled over like this, Jean's shoulders couldn't help but droop, revealing a trace of loneliness, which made Lu Ke feel extremely cruel.

"Bambi, you say, what if I can't make it to the playoffs?" Jean turned his head to look at Lu Ke, there was no special emotion in those eyes, just a calm, but this calmness became more and more sad, "I know, if I miss this year, there will always be next year, but the problem is that I don't want to miss this year." I want to fight with everyone, and I want to fight together to fulfill Ryan's promise. But what if I can't make it? ”

This is an unsolvable problem, and Lu Ke doesn't know how to answer, all the truths have become weak and powerless in the face of the cruel reality.
