Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Taste of Donuts in the Finals
The game was lost, and there are still many things waiting for Hu Qingniu to deal with, and the ban punishment of Barkley and others has not yet come out. At the moment, he can only try to come up with a system that can win.
The most critical and most important two points, one is that the morale of the team cannot fall.
Seeing that Kwamei and Jeffries were dejected, Hu Qingniu became angry.
But at this time, you can't instill the truth strongly, and everyone's emotions are very unstable. In particular, young players like Kwame and Jeffries are actually children, and they have never experienced anything other than basketball.
Hu Qingniu immediately clapped his hands and called the team members over.
Many of them were a little confused and dumbfounded.
The leader of the team was injured, several big brothers all faced bans, and the big score was leveled. None of this series seems to be good news.
"Have any of you ever won a championship?"
Hu Qingniu asked abruptly.
This sentence was clueless, and the players looked at their coach in confusion.
Jordan was not injured, and Rodman was the first to rush to the hospital. None of the people left in the locker room now had the ring that symbolized the highest honor.
"I don't think any of us know what that ring is like, do you, Sir Charles."
Barkley nodded sheepishly, he was also one of the instigators who put the team in the embarrassing situation it is now.
"We've all tasted championships, but we've all dreamed of that day, right?" Seeing everyone nodding, Hu Qingniu continued: "In my dream, I really felt the taste of the ring, it was sweet, yes, it was the taste of doughnuts." ”
The players were amused, and everyone's mood didn't seem so bad.
"I don't know if the ring is more delicious in your dreams, but I can tell from your expressions that you don't seem to see the fence around the ring, you only notice the ring."
Everyone was silent, and they still understood Hu Qingniu's words.
"It's a ring that needs to be fought for, and we're in where we are right now because we're having a hard time trying to fight for this ring."
"There's always someone to be challenged and there's always someone to go all the way, and that's why we're here today."
"Do you think spurs are scary? Aren't we their rivals? ”
Hu Qingniu asked loudly.
The enthusiasm of the team members was driven by these three words.
yes, do we have to think Spurs are scary?
Isn't it because we've come to where we are today to accept the challenge, and now that the challenge is coming, we can't afford to languish anymore.
Seeing that the atmosphere was no longer so depressing, the first big stone in Hu Qingniu's heart was put down.
After a few quick explanations, he finally handed the team back to Doug to care, and he was going to drive to Washington Medical Center.
It is impossible for Barkley and others to play the next game, and it is useless to worry, how many games are banned is determined by the scale of the alliance. But Jordan's injury determines whether he can play in this round of the finals, which is what Hu Qingniu can do his best at present.
Jordan's injury is not only a matter for the Wizards, but also for the entire city of Washington, and now Dean Freeman is personally diagnosing Jordan.
Hu Qingniu was familiar with the way, and he passed all the way to the MRI diagnosis room, and the gray-haired Freeman took a piece of film and looked carefully under the light. Several of the young doctors around him held their breath and didn't dare to speak.
"Dean Freeman, how's it going?"
Freeman didn't like it very much when someone bothered him at work, but when he saw that it was Hu Qingniu, he didn't care. Hu Qingniu didn't call him Freeman, and the old man Freeman was already very face-saving.
"Overall, Michael is still very lucky, there is no significant displacement, as far as it stands, the preliminary diagnosis is cracked bone cracks, the degree of cracks is also very mild, now there is only some swelling on the outside, no surgery is needed, but according to clinical experience, at least two weeks of rest."
Hu Qingniu took the film and observed it carefully, and asked for a measuring tool on the way to measure carefully.
"With a slight downward movement of 1 millimeter, the bone crack is not large, and the crack is small."
After personally confirming the diagnosis, Hu Qingniu breathed a sigh of relief and let go of the second big stone in his heart.
Dean Freeman patted Hu Qingniu on the shoulder and said in his very pleasant London accent.
"Michael stepped on an irregular foot when he landed, and according to his weight, just such an injury is already a miracle. If it weren't for the use of the world's most advanced MRI machine, a slight bone crack was detected, which is commonly referred to as an ankle sprain. “
Jordan's injury turned out to be a false alarm, and the tilt of the calf that Hu Qingniu saw at that time turned out to be caused by the swelling of the external muscles, and such a serious injury ended up being a minor injury.
Thanks to Hu Qingniu's article "On Hips and Knees" a few months ago, this medical classic developed specifically for human bones, after Jordan's diligent practice, bones have been greatly strengthened.
Ordinary patients need to rest for two weeks, and Hu Qingniu is sure that Jordan can recover in three days. This time, I still have to use the black jade intermittent ointment, a bone injury miracle drug, but I don't have to smash and reshape Jordan's entire knee like last time.
When he treated Jordan's knee for the first time, Jordan's knee was already badly worn, and there were bone spurs on the bone, and the existing bone was not solid enough, so he had to crush the smoothed bone spurs and let the bones grow back on their own.
Now it is only a slight bone crack, and under the miraculous effect of the black jade intermittent cream, it should not take much time to heal.
"Old man Freeman, you have to keep this news a secret from me."
Hu Qingniu looked at the gray-haired old man with a pleading face.
"What are you little guy up to," Freeman said, pointing at Hu Qingniu, "this is not a good thing to do, Michael's injury is a lot of media want to get the news, if we don't say a word, those media will tear me down." “
"Come on, it's about the championship trophy in Washington."
"Well, I don't think the Wizards have won a championship yet."
"I took it 20 years ago, old man, are you old and confused?"
"Oh, hehe, I didn't care about that at the time."
---
Not only the media, but the inside story of Jordan's injury, Hu Qingniu does not even plan to disclose it in the team. He didn't want to upset the current team's mentality, let alone reveal Jordan's injury to the rival Spurs.
He was going to take it by surprise.
