Chapter 36: A heart-wrenching mouth
Back at the basketball hall from the school hospital, the blue-and-white intra-team competition was over. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Kid, how are you?" When Coach K saw Yang Long coming back, he stepped forward and asked with concern.
"Thank you, Coach K, it's just that the muscles are pulled, just rest for a few days." Looking at his teammates who were actively training on the field, Yang Long felt ashamed and could only pray that he could recover soon and return to the team.
"It's not days, it's weeks." Seeing that Yang Long deliberately concealed the recovery cycle, Booker directly intervened in the mending knife, there is no doubt that he would not let Yang Long play with an injury, with him here, Yang Long can't mess around.
"It's okay, Yang, don't worry, take a good rest." Coach K came over and patted Yang Long on the left shoulder, in his coaching career, players were often injured, as a college coach, Coach K did not allow his disciples to take risks at the beginning of their basketball careers.
It was a strange feeling for Yang Long to watch his teammates finish training on the sidelines. Because now he's part of the team, but he's just going to stay off the pitch. Yang Long was very panicked, his teammates were training and improving, which undoubtedly brought him pressure.
Yang Long asked Assistant Coach Knight for a statistic of the match, and the blue team won the game again 71-63. As a member of the blue team, Yang Long should have been happy, but he couldn't be happy. Firstly, because this is an intra-team match, the result of the game is not that important, and secondly, because this game was won without Yang Long, and the advantage of 8 points is even more than the last time he was on the court.
It seems that the outcome of the game has nothing to do with Yang Long.
Yang Long really hopes that the loss of the blue team will show his value and show that the blue team cannot afford to lose him.
At present, it is still Jae Williams who determines the outcome of the game, and Williams is still stable and efficient, cutting down 28 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists. Led by him, Dunleavy scored 16 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. Casey also had an economic double-double of 11 points and 12 rebounds.
At Duke, Williams is the mountain that Yang Long wants to look up to.
After the training, the teammates came up to ask about Yang Long's situation with concern. This touched him very much, because it meant that Yang Long was truly one of them. At first, Coach K's concern that he would not be truly recognized by the team did not happen. Under the concept of basketball of Coach K's team, the Blue Devils are more like a team.
Because of an arm injury, Yang Long did not stay on the court after the team's training. Coach K also told Yang Long that he could not participate in the team's training until he recovered from his shoulder injury. But Yang Long thought that he couldn't do it, he still had to watch his teammates train, or listen to the concept of Coach K on the sidelines, and Yang Long would not allow himself to let go of every opportunity to improve.
After dinner, Yang Long returned to his cabin, and being alone in the United States was boundless loneliness. He hadn't called his parents for days, so he picked up the desk phone in the dormitory and dialed the number at home.
"Hey, little dragon?" The mother's voice came out on the phone, full of longing and concern.
"Oh, it's me, Mom. How's your home going? "Home is always a harbor for the soul, and parents are always emotional healing medicine, just hearing his mother's voice made Yang Long temporarily forget the unhappiness in his heart because of the injury.
"Oh...... It's okay, it's nothing, it's good at home. Mother hesitated.
"What the hell is going on? Mother? By the way, what about Dad? "For more than 10 years, how could I not know about my own mother? From his mother's babbling words, Yang Long felt a little unusual.
"Your dad, he, he...... Alas, I told your father not to drink so much, but now that I have a stomach problem, I am now recuperating in the hospital. Behold, this is all deserved, self-inflicted! ”
"Daddy isn't a big deal, is it?" Yang Long's father had a stomach problem, which was the root of the illness he had fallen from when he was in the army. But he was born in the army, and his father preferred to drink, and his mother was angry with him because of this. But my mother cares about my father, and although she says cruel things that she deserves to wait, she is more worried than anyone else.
"It's not a big deal, it's an old problem, just rest for a while. I also said I was going to see him in the hospital, so you called. ”
"Then you let Dad recuperate, and you have to pay attention to your body."
"Okay, this time I have to take care of your father and not let him drink so much. By the way, Xiaolong, how are you in the United States, are you still adapting, are you still used to eating that meal? ”
"I'm fine, Mom, I've met some Chinese seniors here, and we often go out to eat Chinese food together!" Yang Long glanced at his strained shoulder, and although he was greedy for his mother's caring greetings, Yang Long still didn't tell his mother. Her father was worried enough about her health, she was far away in a foreign country, and telling her about her injury at this time would undoubtedly increase her mother's anxiety.
He lied to his mother, but Yang Long didn't feel the slightest sense of guilt, because this was a white lie, and not all lies were unsightly.
ended the conversation with his mother, but Yang Long's feeling of wanting to talk became stronger and stronger.
When he came to the United States, Yang Long had only one purpose, and that was basketball. Now he has to take a break from his basketball chase because of an injury. Without basketball, in this place in the United States, Yang Long seems to be isolated from the world all of a sudden.
Yang Long turned on the computer and wanted to pass the time, but found that Wu Shuang had left him a message on QQ.
"Are you there?" Yang Long's fingertips tapped on the keyboard.
"In ~ Dragon, how has the school team been lately?"
"It's not very good...
"What's the matter, you're so good?"
"I strained my shoulder muscles...... To take a break for a few weeks......#sad"
"How so, it's not a big deal, right?"
"It's not a big deal, it's just a muscle strain."
"Oh, it's okay. You have to get some rest. By the way, did you buy medicine, my father used to buy me safflower oil when I sprained my foot, and it was fine after a few days. Is there safflower oil in the United States, do you want me to send you a few bottles to try? ”
"Okay~"
“……”
There is also a person who can make Yang Long vomit his heart.
