Chapter 298: Grow up
After taking the Magic in Florida in the southeast corner of the country, the Mavericks flew back to Dallas in the southwest early the next morning.
The next game was a day later, still on the road, but instead of flying directly to the game, the Mavericks returned to Dallas.
Because the next game will be a Texas Civil War, with the Mavericks playing the San Antonio Spurs away.
Flying from Dallas to San Antonio, Texas, by special plane, but only about an hour away, the Mavericks naturally chose to return to Dallas base camp to rest.
It was already afternoon back in Dallas, the Mavericks disbanded on the spot, the players rested, and Chen Zhi and Zhou Jian returned to the villa in Highland Park together.
Not long after returning to the villa, Zhou Jian's mobile phone rang, and Zhou Jian, who was operating on the laptop, casually turned on the voiceover of the mobile phone on the table.
"Zhou, I heard that the Mavericks have returned to Dallas, how did I communicate with you before?"
When Zhou Jian heard this, he couldn't help patting his head, and looked up at Chen Dao, who was sitting on the side, "I'm sorry, Dr. Sawyer, there have been too many things in the past few days, and I forgot about it." ”
Manager Zhou Jian has been really busy recently, basically Chen Zhi needs him to handle everything, and the NBA's first salary of the season has just been paid a few days ago, during this time he is full of money and tax problems, and he is even responsible for spending money for Chen Zhi.
Hearing this, the other end of the phone suddenly fell silent, Zhou Jian was suddenly a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "However, Chen is by my side now, you might as well ask him directly." ”
"Oh good! Hello Chen, I'm Soar. Soyal on the other end of the phone immediately turned to greet Chen Zhi.
"Dr. Soarer, the Mavericks' chief team doctor, has been with the Mavericks for 17 years." Zhou Jian said to Chen Zhi on the side.
"To be exact, it should be the former team doctor." Soyal apparently heard Zhou's words, "I have left the Mavericks Medical Group after last season. ”
Chen Zhi nodded when he heard this, "I don't know what Dr. Soarer is looking for me?" ”
Asking like this, Chen Zhi had a hunch in his heart, I am afraid that it has something to do with his recent outburst of height, and his height problem has been circulated on the Internet recently, and some people even suspect that Lining has designed a unique inner height increase for himself on his sneakers!
"Chen Dao, first of all, congratulations on leading the Mavericks to a winning streak, I have to say that I am already your most loyal fan!" Soar said.
Chen Zhi just smiled when he heard this, Soyal has been in the Mavericks' medical team for many years, and he is probably an out-and-out Mavericks fan.
"Well, a few of my colleagues and I have noticed in recent news reports that you have gained about 8 inches in height in less than half a year, and I want to ask you to see if this is true. ”
Chen Zhi was 175 centimeters tall when he played in the summer league, which is well documented, and many fans who have watched him play in the summer league can also confirm this, at that time he did have a huge height gap with the players on the field, and now he has indeed grown a full 8 inches in height, which cannot be hidden.
"Yes, Dr. Soar, this report is true."
Chen Zhi did not deny it, he knew that Soyal must have been very sure of this matter, otherwise he would not have contacted him because he saw a report.
"You know, Chen Dao, there is a limit to the growth of human bones, and reaching 4 inches a year is a very terrifying growth. Of course, there are cases where you can gain 8 inches in a year, but that can only happen in infancy if an adult experiences this growth in a year..."
Soyal paused at this point and did not continue, but his tone was clear, it must not be a good thing.
Hearing this, Chen Zhi said seriously into his mobile phone, "Dr. Soar, do you mean that I may be suffering from some kind of disease?" ”
Listening to Chen Zhi's somewhat solemn tone, Soyal said frankly: "I can't be sure now. In addition to the former Dallas Mavericks team doctor, I'm also a member of the All Rice Human Bone Research Association, and while it's impossible to know for sure what that actually is, I do suspect that there are some underlying diseases in your body that could not only affect your career, but even be life-threatening. ”
"Is it really that serious?" Chen Zhi was calm in his heart, but when others heard it, there was obviously a hint of panic in his tone, and he naturally knew very well the reason for his height increase, but now he had to show a state of panic.
Instead of answering, Soyal asked, "Have you heard of Robert Waldrow?" ”
"Robert Waldrow?" Chen Zhi said uncertainly, "You're talking about the world's number one person?" ”
"Oh, you know him, too! That's right, the tallest known person in the world! "Soyal didn't expect Chen Zhi to know this name, this person is not famous except for his height, and now he is rarely mentioned except in the field of bone medicine.
Chen Zhi did know this person, after the bone enhancement in the ball soul system appeared, he had roughly learned about bones and height on the Internet, and the principle of the ball soul system made him very curious, but in the end he didn't draw any conclusions or even speculations.
It was at that time that Chen Zhi learned the name of Robert Waldrow, recognized as the tallest person in the world, with a height of 2.74 meters, which is measured with conclusive evidence, the holder of the Guinness World Height Record.
In addition to Robert Waldrow, there was also a Chinese man named Zhan Shichai during the Qing Dynasty, who was said to be as tall as 3.19 meters tall, and was rumored to be the tallest person in the world.
Unfortunately, he left no exact evidence of his measurements, only an old black-and-white photograph to back it up. Zhan Shichai, who is 3.19 meters tall, looks twice as tall as several other people in the photo, even if those people are only 1.5 meters tall, Zhan Shichai is more than 3 meters tall.
On the other end of the phone, Soyal continued: "Your current height surge has been similar to that in Wardrow's physical growth record. ”
"Hey, Dr. Soarer, are you saying that I might be able to reach Waldrow's height, that's great, so that I don't have to jump when I dunk, and I will gain weight, and even O'Neal, the shark at my peak, will be a little sardine in front of me!" Chen Zhi couldn't help but joke.
"I didn't say you'd have to be that tall." Soar couldn't help laughing when he heard this, he has always been like a little shrimp in front of O'Neill, a big shark, and the picture of O'Neill turning into a small sardine in front of others is really a little inexplicable.
"Even if it doesn't reach the level of the world's tallest people, it's barely acceptable to reach the height of George Muresan and Manute Pol, haha!" Chen Zhi joked again.
Murraysan and Bol are the tallest players in NBA history, with a height of 231 cm, which is a lot taller than Yao Ming!
Among them, Bol's block efficiency is the highest in the history of the entire NBA, but he is too thin and does not have much dominance in the NBA.
At the same time, this guy is also an extremely rare bizarre player in NBA history who has a higher career block than a score!
"As far as I know, Muresan and Bol's NBA careers weren't very successful." Soar said.
When height gives them a strong advantage, it also gives them an incomparable disadvantage, and their movement speed, especially Murraysan, is simply unbearable to look at, you must know that ordinary strong college students can outrun O'Neal's kind of big man There are not necessarily many, in the NBA with amazing speed, this has become their Achilles' heel.
"That's true, I hope I don't grow to the same heights as theirs." Chen Zhi couldn't help laughing at himself.
Of course, this self-deprecating tone was for Soyal on the other end of the phone, and Chen Zhike never intended to turn himself into a monster completely.
"However, even Murraysan and Bol have not seen a one-year increase of more than eight inches, and all the people I know of who have achieved that increase are at least eight inches taller than them."
On the other end of the phone, the white old man who listened to Chen Zhi's self-deprecation said solemnly. The so-called ignorant person is fearless, and he didn't feel much humor in Chen Zhi's self-deprecation, but was full of sympathy.
"And most of these people don't live longer than 20 years, and Wardrow was only 23 years old when he died." Soyal informed Chen of this fact.
Sure enough, as he expected, Chen Zhi on the other end of the phone fell into silence, and anyone who heard this would probably have to be silent, not to mention that Chen Zhi on the other end of the phone happened to be 19 years old this year, and it sounded like the end was approaching.
"Dr. Soar, you're not trying to scare me, are you?"
Soyal wanted to tell Chen that it was just a prank, but his medical ethics as a doctor made him unable to deceive Chen Zhi as a "patient".
"Rapid abnormal body growth, usually with accelerated organ failure." Soyal obviously felt Chen Zhi's uneasiness, and couldn't help but comfort, "Don't be too nervous, maybe things are not going to be the worst, but you have to actively cooperate with us in research, well, treatment." ”
"Dr. Soar, I will cooperate!"
The words on the other end of the phone made the old man Soar very satisfied. He didn't tell Chen Zhi that Chen Zhi's condition was very special, and patients with this kind of supergiant syndrome generally had symptoms since childhood, and their height was obviously different from ordinary people from a very young age, but Chen Zhi was not.
Of course, whether this situation is good or bad, he is not decided. This is not a deception of Chen Zhi, at most it is a little trick that doctors are good at, "Stomach ache? Well, do a full body check-up first! ”
What he wants is Chen Zhi's active cooperation so that they can carry out research and treatment. Chen Zhi's situation is indeed rare, maybe from Chen Zhi's special development situation, can we understand the mystery of growing height again, that is the gospel for many people!
"Dr. Soyal, are you convenient now, why don't I go for a test today, I'm really worried about the current situation, I'm 19 years old this year!"
Chen Zhi's voice came from the other end of the phone again, and it seemed that what Soyal said just now put a lot of pressure on him.
"Well, it's okay, you come as soon as possible, Zhou knows the hospital where I am, and I'll give you a test today!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Jian looked at the obvious smile on the corner of Chen Zhi's mouth, and felt a little stunned, he was about to cry on the phone with Dr. Soarer just now, why did he laugh again in a blink of an eye?
Zhou Jian couldn't help but ask with concern, "Chen Dao, are you okay, you won't be stupid by this old man, don't worry, it will definitely be fine." ”
Chen Zhi just shrugged his shoulders, leaving Zhou Jian confused.
The two quickly drove to Dr. Soarer's Dallas Public Hospital.
Chen quickly completed a series of tests under the leadership of Soar.
"Doctor, how's it going?"
Zhou Jian frowned when he saw Soyal looking at the light films, and couldn't help but ask worriedly.
"You see, the epiphyseal line is close to closing, and it stands to reason that his height should have stopped growing a long time ago, and it is impossible to grow any longer." Soyal said, pointing to one of the tablets.
"He has long stopped growing in height, but then he has grown again." Zhou Jian naturally knew about this situation.
"But all his test data are very normal, the pituitary gland does not show any lesions, there are no signs of gigantism, and the hormone levels are also normal, if there is something abnormal, it is that his brain activity is very high, but this should not have much to do with his height."
Soyal couldn't believe the result at all.
Chen knew that this must be the result, and the miraculous system in his body could not be detected by modern medical technology.
Soyal looked at the test results, then at Chen Dao, and said very unwillingly: "Your body is too normal, this is very abnormal!" ”
"Dr. Soar, don't look at me like that, it feels like you want to slice me and study it!" Chen Zhi said with a smile.
Soyal shook his head and said, "It's impossible to slice, but I do want to study the blood and other samples you left just now, there must be something abnormal in this that I haven't found yet, you can't suddenly grow 8 inches taller when you're completely normal!" ”
Chen Zhi shrugged his shoulders, "Doctor, in other words, I am indeed normal now, right?" ”
Soyal sighed, "Yes, everything is normal, so normal that you are simply an ordinary person!" ”
"That's good, that's the best outcome!" Zhou Jian couldn't help but feel relieved.
Chen is now the hottest star in the entire basketball world and even in the sports world, and his every move is watched, and when his car appeared outside the Dallas public hospital, reporters from various media outlets had already heard about it.
Walking out of the hospital gate, Chen Zhi and Zhou Jian were immediately surrounded by reporters who rushed up.
"Chen Dao, why are you in the hospital, is there any injury, will it affect the game!"
All the reporters were concerned about Chen's physical condition, whether he had injuries or other diseases.
Chen Zhi cleared his throat, and the gossiping reporters around him suddenly quieted down, "You probably know that I have grown again recently, and my height has stopped growing before, so I came to the hospital to check it out." So, after a thorough examination, the doctor said that I am very healthy, and you can go and interview Dr. Sawal about this. ”
Sitting in the car and leaving, Chen Zhi looked at the reporters who flocked to the hospital to find Dr. Soar, and couldn't help but smile, Dr. Soar came at the right time, with him, he should be able to grow up openly in the future!
Thinking like this, Chen Zhi entered the ball soul system and directly strengthened his height by two centimeters again! In the next game, I will probably have to change to a pair of shoes that are one size larger!
