Chapter 192: The 'Dragon King' Dies
- Happy Chinese New Year, Adddie.
Joe specially chose February 20 Beijing time to send a message of blessings to himself, and Daddy is always very careful in this regard, even if he knows less than one-tenth of the knowledge of Christmas.
- Happy Chinese New Year, Joe ...... Then again, Daddy, have you ever tried to set off firecrackers or something?
- I'm afraid I'll be arrested as a gun-wielding rioter, you know, it's better not to make loud noises at night in Auckland.
- That makes sense......
Since the start of All-Star, Addison and Joe have communicated less often, and they didn't chat on their phones until recently because of the arrival of the Chinese New Year. But the words exchanged between the two were still very short and concise, and he and Qiao belonged to the kind of silent father and son who would not talk for a long time when they met, but the two of them were never embarrassed by this, but they got along very comfortably.
INTERVIEWER When you were in New York for the All-Star Games, did you go back to your old place?
- Harlem? I didn't have time, the schedule was too full in those days. And I've seen it when I went to New York to play away games before, so there's no need to let that kind of place influence my thinking all the time.
- Does it affect...... Forget it, if you think that's better, do it. Will you be back in Auckland after the end of the season?
- Of course, I miss the swimming pool at home. The summer in Miami was so hot that I couldn't make it up here alone.
……
The Heat officially announced Norris. Cole and Sean. When Williams left, the two who had already received the news officially said goodbye to all their teammates during the team's training camp.
At the beginning of the season, Norris, who had a serious conflict with Addison. Kerr hugged the Chinese point guard at the time of parting, and his face was full of relieved smiles.
"Congratulations on your win, Add, you're really the best first year I've ever seen." Cole patted the opponent's tough shoulder blade, "When we meet again, we will be real opponents, and I will not show mercy." ”
Addison still didn't know how to deal with such a thing, and it was the first time since he turned professional that he saw players trade away. The teammates who were still joking with each other yesterday can only see the empty lockers today, and the only ones they can remember are the games they fought together.
Sad? Perhaps...... Sad? No, probably not yet......
"You're going to get used to that sooner or later, boy." As Addison looked at Cole and Williams' empty locker in a daze, Wade's hand was on his shoulder, "When I saw Ramal. Odom and Cuarón. Butler was also sad for a long time when they were traded. I've seen so many trades since then that feeling has gone numb...... This is a business alliance after all, and it is possible who will be your teammate and who will be your opponent. ”
Addison glanced at Wade, who had a comfortable look in his eyes, and he felt that the team boss seemed to be getting better and better at feeding others chicken soup for the soul, and every time he talked to him, he had the temperament of a thinker...... But Addison is also very useful......
New signing Shabazz. Napier and Alexi. Atkinsa arrived in Miami almost by noon on the day of the trade announcement, and both men showed a positive attitude, not asking for a break, but directly joining the team's joint practice.
It's just that Napier and Addison looked a little awkward when they met, and the two of them were rivals in the NCAA Finals. As a result, the path to the NBA was very different, Addison is now a hot national supernova, while Napier has not even played a starter, and has not played more than 20 minutes per game.
And Napier knew very well that the Heat traded him to make him a substitute for Addison. Although Shabazz, who was arrogant in college. Napier has now resigned himself to his fate, but he is still a little embarrassed to see the Chinese point guard.
However, Addison did not show any estrangement or indifference, hugged Napier quite warmly, and took the initiative to introduce him to the team's two big brothers, Wade and Bosh. His actions calmed Napier's original anxiety a lot, and he added some confidence that he could fit into the team.
Just as the new signings of the Heat team were preparing to hit the schedule after the All-Star break, something unexpected happened to everyone, disrupting all the plans of the Heat's uniform team......
When the team practiced together that afternoon, Chris who had been performing well. Bosh suddenly showed an extremely uncomfortable expression and stopped all his movements! In just a few seconds, he fell to his knees on the court, pressing his palms against his chest and lungs in great pain! Large drops of cold sweat dripped down the forehead and neck, and the amount of sweat was completely abnormal!
The sudden incident caused the Heat uniform team to panic, but they still managed to get Bosh to the hospital in time. Leaving a group of Heat players in the arena looking at each other, at a loss.
That night, the team's uniform team received the results of Bosh's examination, and after examination, it was found that Bosh actually had a clot in his lungs! And the traces of blood clots are already quite obvious!
The news was a bolt from the blue, and the uniformed team was stunned, and they knew all too well what a blood clot in their lungs meant for an athlete. Pulmonary thrombosis, which is an almost fatal condition for athletes. Former Trail Blazers star Jerome. Corsey had just died of a pulmonary thrombosis two days earlier, and his clot had gone into his lungs.
If Bosh does suffer from a pulmonary thrombosis, not to mention whether he can recover, it is a big question whether he can continue his career in the future!
But for Spoelstra, a blood clot in Bosh's lungs basically means that the 'Dragon King' is saying goodbye to the field this season. Koposh is the Heat's leading scorer this season, and his open cut and projection and pick-and-roll offense with Addison are a nightmare for every team in the league.
Once Bosh is out, it means that the Heat will lose their best firepower output point, and it also means that the Miami people's blocking and demolition offensive strength will drop greatly this season! Addison has lost his most powerful inside partner!
With the trade deadline already approaching, Spoelstra will have a hard time making adjustments......
***
“Hey… What's going on? I'm not dead, are you here to pay tribute to me collectively? "Chris lying in a hospital bed. Bosh smiled and teased his teammates as they poured into the room, but his voice was much weaker than before.
The day after Bosh was taken to the hospital, Wade led all the players of the Heat team to visit his old teammates in the hospital. They have received preliminary information from the uniformed team about Bosh's condition, but now Bosh has not undergone further and more comprehensive testing, and it is still to be determined whether it is a pulmonary blood clot.
"Don't keep your face strained, guys, isn't it possible that you won't play when I'm out for a while? Won't you win? Even if he is sick, Bosh is still an optimist, and in turn comforts these teammates who don't have good expressions.
"Trust me, black-haired, I'll be back soon, and I'll continue to fight with you!" As they prepared to leave, Bosh confidently assured Addison, still with that optimistic smile on his face.
Addison looked at his teammate, who was still running and jumping on the training ground the day before, he curled the corners of his mouth and nodded, and punched the 'Dragon King' lightly.
- I'll wait for you to come back, man!
……
Confidence is confidence, and after walking out of the hospital room, the Heat still have to think about what to do with the next schedule. They were going to face the Pelicans from the French Territory of New Orleans that night. Bosh is indeed a huge pain, because the 'Dragon King' is the opposite of Anthony in the Heat. Davis is one of the most assured.
In desperation, Spoelstra could only take the 34-year-old veteran captain Udonis. Haslem was named to the starting lineup, and the 6-foot-8" tall Haslem faced Anthony. What will happen to Davis, everyone knows. But the head coach has no other way, Whiteside needs to focus on guarding the basket, McRoberts needs to lead the offense in the second team, and Sean Whiteside. Williams has already been traded to the opposing lineup at this point......
There is no way, I can only let the old captain who has recovered his health stand up for a while!
"Although there is no official information yet, the media has reported on Chris. News that Bosh was admitted to the hospital due to an acute illness. Here, I wish him a speedy recovery, not only because he is extremely important to the Heat, but also because I know very well that acute conditions are something that professional athletes try to avoid. "Bill on the live broadcast seat. "It's a lot more terrifying than an injury," Wharton said, "and an overly acute illness can even lead to sudden death of an athlete." So I'm desperate for Bosh to be back on the pitch healthy. ”
"We're on the same page, Bill." Drexler replied, "The official announcement should be made tomorrow, and hopefully Bosh is not suffering from any serious illness." ”
"Ell, but for now we're going to have our eyes on the game!" Bill. Wharton dispelled his serious emotions and began to narrate in a high-pitched voice, "The Miami Heat's first game after All-Star Weekend, against the New Orleans Pelicans!" I have to say that the league hierarchy was very predictable about the schedule, and these two teams that had just made personnel trades met on the field! ”
