Benjamin, the chief team doctor of the Mavericks, took the temperature gun in his hand and pressed it on Yiyang's forehead, and Yiyang's body temperature data immediately appeared on the small electronic screen.

"Holy, such high-tech?" Rudy. Gobert leaned up and looked at it, this pistol-like thing can measure body temperature with just a "shot" in the head? He still remembers that when he was sick and went to the hospital when he was a child, the nurse still used the kind of mercury thermometer that needed to be clipped under the armpit.

This kid really hasn't been to the hospital for years......

37.1°C, which is the number measured on a small electronic screen. Benjamin let out a big breath, although he had a low-grade fever, but it was still under control.

"How?" Holding his forehead, Carlisle withdrew his gaze from the window, and the snowy world outside did not make Carlisle feel beautiful at all, but irritated.

Fuck extreme hypothermia!

"Low-grade fever, I'll get him some medicine to eat, cover the quilt tonight, and turn on the air conditioner. If all goes well, tomorrow should be much better. Benjamin replied in a fifteen-ten, and then he looked at Gobert, who was playing with a temperature gun. And you, Rudy, I'm afraid you'll have to get a room of your own. If you're with you, there's a good chance you'll be infected. ”

"Me? I won't be infected, don't worry! ”

"Alright Rudy, I'll go open a new room for you. Tonight, let's have a good rest. Carlisle isn't in the mood to play Gobert right now, the team is at the crossroads of a 20-game winning streak, but this is such a fucking thing.

The Toronto Raptors themselves this season are not easy to mess with, with DeRozan and Kyle not being the ones to mess with. Under Lowry's leadership, the Raptors have had an excellent season this season. They are the undisputed powerhouse in the East, and they are playing at home. The Mavericks want to win at the Air Canada Center arena, and it's not as easy as people think.

As a result, Yiyang is now suffering from the flu. This is undoubtedly a huge blow to Carlisle.

Throughout the night, Carlisle tossed and turned and couldn't sleep well. He was thinking about what he would do if Yiyang couldn't play tomorrow, how to arrange tactics, how to limit Lowry, and who to arrange to be the first scorer......

But these complicated things are not just casually thought of in bed. Otherwise, the NBA head coach's bowl of rice is too delicious.

Carlisle didn't come up with anything, and the sky was bright. When I woke up the next day, I looked in the mirror, and Carlisle's "classic" dark circles reappeared.

After washing, the first thing Carlisle did was to check on Yiyang's condition. When he and the sleepy-eyed Benjamin knocked on the door of Yiyang's room, Yiyang, who came to open the door, was simply a typical patient.

Godless eyes, weak limbs, red nose. Looking through Yiyang's shoulder and looking into the room, sure enough, there were small paper balls everywhere on the ground, God knows if Yiyang had time to sleep after wiping his nose so many times yesterday.

"God, you're literally feeding an entire paper mill by yourself!" Benjamin shook his head in disbelief, it stands to reason that Yiyang shouldn't be so serious.

He subconsciously reached out and touched Yiyang's forehead, and suddenly frowned, it was hot!

"Chief, it's so early." When Carlisle and Benjamin walked into the room, Yiyang collapsed on the bed again. This guy has no strength at all now, and it is difficult to even get up and open the door, let alone play basketball.

"It seems that the situation is worse than we thought, and the body temperature has become 37.6°C this morning." Benjamin took Yiyang's temperature and pouted.

"Okay, okay, let's take him to the hospital for an intravenous drip."

"Drip? What about training and competitions? Hearing Carlisle say this, Yiyang suddenly "bounced" from the bed.

"Let's rest for the day, game, leave it to us." Carlisle tried his best to squeeze out a smile at Yiyang, and put on a look of victory.

"How does this work!?" But his smile didn't impress Yiyang, who retorted loudly. Want to make this guy a truce? Unless the league gives him a ban!

Yiyang has not had the experience of playing with injuries before, his eyebrow bone was broken, his fingers were sprained, etc., but these did not make Yiyang give up. He wore a mask to go into battle, and he also continued to shoot with a brace strapped to his fingers.

But the flu is different, you don't have any protective gear to wear with this thing. And the symptoms of fatigue and dizziness are not something that can be reduced by focusing on the game and then putting up with it.

"The flu is big or small, so don't fight with me. If the disease has been dragging on badly, then the gains outweigh the losses! Carlisle did not accept Yiyang's refutation, this season is still long, and if Yiyang's illness is not good all the time, it will have a greater impact on the team.

"Hey, you're going to let me try it on the training ground! If not, I'll listen to you! Yiyang knows that nothing convinces a person more than direct action. If he can stay in good shape in today's training, then Carlisle has nothing to say.

Carlisle couldn't talk about Yiyang, so he nodded and agreed. Yiyang smiled, and then collapsed on the bed again......

Darren. Collison saw Yiyang controlling the ball and attacking him, and his heart was very nervous. It stands to reason that he and Yiyang have been teammates for two seasons and have played against each other countless times on the training ground, so Collison shouldn't have such a mentality.

But today he was nervous not because Yiyang was strong, but because he was afraid that he would push Yiyang down once he used his strength.

When Yiyang controlled the ball through the half, the pace was messy. It seems that with the slightest wind, he will be blown down directly.

"Tut-tut, what is he fighting like this!" Carlisle held his forehead, this guy can't even carry the ball steadily now, and playing on the court is simply a fantasy.

Now Yiyang is fighting against Collison, and as a teammate, Collison protects him everywhere. But when it comes to the official game, will Lowry show mercy to Yiyang's subordinates because he has the flu!? If it does, then Lori must have a fever too, and he burned out his head!

It is no exaggeration to describe Yiyang's performance in the afternoon as miserable. It's impossible to shoot a shot, and you can't make a three-point shot. Yiyang felt weak even when he stood up, and he had to jump up and shoot, he couldn't find his balance at all. The balls thrown out were also more than one floating, and in the end, the physical strength decreased, and it was so directly that it couldn't even touch the basket.

What about breakthroughs? If it weren't for Collison's release of water, Yiyang might not have been able to make even a breakthrough. After breaking into the inside line, Gobert also rewarded Yiyang with several big risks. The Frenchman raised his hand and swore to God, I had done my best, I was releasing the water as best I could.

During the entire 20 minutes of confrontational training, Yiyang was unable to score, unable to organize, and even his running tactics were half a beat slower. How omnipotent he is in normal times, how omnipotent he is today.

In the face of his own performance, Yiyang was also very helpless. The runny nose after sweating has been relieved, but the symptoms of dizziness and fatigue are not severe.

"How? Still fighting? Carlisle stared at Yiyang, there was no need for him to force the arrangement now, Yiyang should know what to do.

Playing in his state will not only help the team, but will drag him back. Not everyone is Jordan, who can go down in history with a high temperature of 38°C. Not everyone is like Dirk, who can lead the team to a championship with a fever of 40°C.

These two of the greatest flu battles in NBA history are great precisely because not everyone can replicate them.

Yiyang smirked at Carlisle, and he compromised. Besides, even if you don't play in this game, the Mavericks are not necessarily going to lose.

With such an idea, Yiyang put on a training uniform and "watched the fire from the other side" on the sidelines. During the Rockets' 22-game winning streak, Yao Ming was also injured halfway. Maybe the Mavericks can continue their winning streak without themselves today?

It's very dangerous to have this kind of luck mentality......

How long has it been since the Toronto Raptors made the playoffs? As of last year, there have been four seasons.

For four seasons, the NBA team outside the United States has been an underdog. As long as they meet the Toronto Raptors, no matter how desperate the team, it seems that they can see hope in them.

"The XXX team slaughtered the dragon with a big score and ended the losing streak!" This kind of news has been coming up in an endless stream for the past four seasons, and reporters are even tired of writing about it! Of course, those four seasons have been equally uncomfortable for the Raptors.

Especially to DeRozan and Lowry.

When he first entered the NBA, DeRozan's locker was placed next to boss Bosh. DeRozan was still fantasizing that he could learn from the All-Star power forward, be the best partner with him, and then lead the Raptors back to the rise!

But just one season later, Bosh turned around and went to Miami. For DeRozan, who was new to the league, he had no idea what was going on at the time. Overnight, the Raptors were without a dragon king.

Then, Lori came. The stocky defender was assigned to use Bosh's locker, and yes, it was still next to DeRozan.

Lowry doesn't have a good impression of the icy Toronto, and the Rockets annoyed that the Rockets sent him to this no-brainer just for a first-round pick. At that time, all he was thinking about was how to escape from this frozen northern land as quickly as possible.

So, Lowry doesn't have much in touch with DeRozan and everyone else on the Raptors. Going to the stadium, politely saying hello, training, finishing, politely saying goodbye, that's all, ordinary colleague relationships.

Then last season, the Raptors "lived up to expectations" and were once again shut out of the playoffs, and last month on the 9th, Rudy. Guy was also traded to Sacramento by management.

At this time, looking at the entire locker room, the Raptors are really leaderless. Tired of losing, Lowry looked at the skinny black guard next to him who was taller than him, and he knew that they were on their own now.

"It's counting on us now, either we'll do a good job, or we'll have to fuck off!" The night Guy left Toronto, Lowry said this to DeRozan.

It was only at this time that DeRozan and Lowry really established a "teammate" relationship.

So, these two guys began to fight against the entire East! This season, their performances have been staggering. Looking at the entire Eastern Conference, in addition to the Heat and Pacers, the two top teams in the league, the Raptors are the best performers.

Lowry and DeRozan started winning and liked the feeling of winning. Their relationship is getting better and better, and they are getting better and better on the field. So far, the Raptors' 20-20 record has put them firmly in the top five positions in the East. But just a few days ago, the Raptors lost very unexpectedly to the already declining Lakers and the Bobcats, who have not seen the light of day, and experienced two consecutive defeats.

If you put it in the past, the two consecutive losses are not at all surprising for the Raptors. But this season, Lowry and DeRozan won't let their losing streak grow.

So, meet the Dallas Mavericks at home today. Even if the opponent is very strong, they must fight for a win to stop the losing streak!

"Demar, you're in good shape today." Seeing DeRozan on the training ground once again holding up to John. Salmons hit a shot with interference, and Lowry couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

DeRozan scratched his head in embarrassment, then quickly backed away. Off the court, the experienced Raptors black veteran coach Dwyan. Casey was also very pleased. With DeRozan's excellent form, it doesn't seem like an impossible task to crush the Mavericks at home today.

Now DeRozan and Lowry's desire to win is high, and they will not surrender easily!

At this moment, the assistant coach of the Raptors leaned into Casey's ear and whispered a few words.

Casey's otherwise expressionless face was suddenly startled, and he turned his head to look at his teaching assistant.

"You say it again?"

"I just got reliable news that I won't be playing in tonight's game because of the flu!" The assistant coach replied truthfully under Casey's questioning.
