Chapter 41: Fighting with Wounded
In order to be able to play in the next game, Sun Xiaotian has been very active in recovering in the past two days. However, the ankle is no different than other parts, it is necessary to exercise regularly. Whenever Sun Xiaotian moved a little, his ankle would hurt a lot.
The game is coming up tomorrow, and the latest check-up done to him by the team doctor is still not optimistic. Sun Xiaotian's swollen ankle still didn't recede, and he couldn't move freely, so the possibility of playing in the battle was almost gone.
"I tried my best, but you didn't get back to being able to play. And this sprain of yours is worse than I thought, I hope you can rest well! "That's the conclusion given to him by the team doctor.
It is difficult for Sun Xiaotian to accept this conclusion. If you were in the NBA, you would follow the instructions of the team doctor, because the commercial smell there is too strong.
However, now he is in the college league, which can be said to be the purest basketball league, and everyone in it is a simple love for basketball, and they can even give up their basketball career for the highest honor of their school.
"I'm going to fight!"
This is a sentence left by Sun Xiaotian!
All the directors, including the school's sports department, were very surprised by Sun Xiaotian's determination, and they were very touched by Sun Xiaotian's determination.
It stands to reason that Yale's season can already be described as brilliant. They have exceeded last season's promise to their fans and made it to the round of eight, a feat that no Yale descendant can break.
……
"I know best how my body is! Once I feel like I can't play anymore, I'll automatically request a substitution, or you can replace me. Sun Xiaotian said to Coach Heywood.
"I understand your feelings, you're a fighter, but I need to know your status, I can't risk your future!" Coach Heywood said.
"I really don't have a problem!" Saying that, Sun Xiaotian deliberately jumped a little, but whether it was painful or not, only he knew it.
"Oh well! I promise you! "Coach Heywood really can't, and he knows that the team really can't live without Sun Xiaotian, even if he can stand on the field for a few minutes, the emotional mobilization of the players is different.
After getting the coach's commitment to play, Sun Xiaotian felt a little relieved. However, he also knows that he is playing to help the team win, not drag the team down.
He understands that in his current state, it is obviously impossible to return to the role he used to have.
Now there is only one way, and that is to fight the closure!
Occlusion is very damaging for athletes, although it can reduce the pain of the injured person, but the harm to the injured site is also very great.
I had hoped that my right foot would be relieved on the day of the match, but how could it be so fast! Sun Xiaotian had no choice, he had to go to the team doctor.
When he told the team doctor that he was going to be closed, the team doctor was shocked all of a sudden, and it turned out that Sun Xiaotian had been hiding it all along.
But Sun Xiaotian hopes that the team doctor can hide this matter as well, and he doesn't want to cause a psychological burden on his teammates before the game. After all, after everyone learned the news that Sun Xiaotian would appear, they couldn't wait.
The team doctor had no choice but to help him hide it and help him close it!
After the closure, Sun Xiaotian had no pain at all, not even his right foot.
------
When Yale University entered, Sun Xiaotian was the last to run out. When he appeared on the field, all the reporters on the scene were surprised. Because, in the eyes of some experts, the conclusion of the MRI examination is almost a certainty that Sun Xiaotian will be absent from the game. I didn't expect Sun Xiaotian to recover so quickly, so fast that I couldn't believe it. However, almost everyone who understands can see that Sun Xiaotian must have appeared with an injury.
Yale's opponent today is the University of Florida Alligators, who are the favorites to win this year's tournament as they make it all the way to the NCAA Division Finals. 64 into 32 eliminated the University of Houston, 32 into 16 eliminated Syracuse University, 16 into 8 eliminated the University of North Carolina by a large score.
As a former champion, the University of Florida has always been a veteran powerhouse, so there is no shortage of talent in their team.
Noah, Brewer, David. Plum......
Nowadays a man named Bradley. Bill's young men are once again continuing the tradition of the University of Florida. Although he is only a freshman now, Bradley. Beal's maturity on the field doesn't look like a freshman.
Bradley. Beal rose to fame at a young age, and after joining the Alligators, he quickly became a superstar in the Southeast Division, averaging 14.8 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.8 blocks in 34.2 minutes per game this season, shooting 44.5% from the field and 33.9% from three-point range.
Although his freshman data is not as luxurious as Sun Xiaotian's freshman data, after all, Yale University and the University of Florida are in different regions, and the two are not comparable.
Despite being only 19 years old, Beal made a big splash this year, not only being named the Southeast Division Rookie of the Week during the season. And after the end of the season, he was also successfully selected for the best first team and the best rookie team in the Southeast Division.
Except for Bradley. In addition to Beal, the Alligators have several potential members of the roster.
Kenny. Boynton, the starting point guard at the University of Florida, is also the team's leading scorer. He averaged 16 points and 5.4 assists per game, becoming one of the important members of the team to reach the top 8. In the 32-16 game against Syracuse University, he contributed 15 points and 13 assists, which was the key to the team's victory.
Eric. Murphy, starting power forward at the University of Florida. Like all white insiders, not only does he have a strong body and accurate shooting, but he's also the team's three-point leader. He is already a senior and is averaging 12.2 points and 5.5 rebounds per game this season, making him a competent interior player.
The University of Florida is moving forward under the leadership of these three players, and compared to Yale University, in the case of Sun Xiaotian's injury, such an advantage is very obvious.
Even so, Yale did not show the slightest timidity. Even though the University of Florida is strong, Yale University is also among the top 8! Who's worse than who!
……
With the referee's whistle, Yale University took the lead in possession.
Before the game, Coach Heywood told Kevin alone that he had unlimited firing rights in this game, which means that Kevin has a lot of responsibility for this game.
Although Sun Xiaotian can play, everyone knows that he will not be as omnipotent as in the previous games. Therefore, as the No. 2 person at Yale University, Kevin should have high expectations.
Kevin saw that Gulot had already covered for himself, and he was also very resolute, and he smashed into the opponent's interior line at a gallop. But the University of Florida would make it so easy for you! They suddenly contracted the inside line, and there was no space in front of Kevin in an instant.
However, Kevin suddenly found that someone raised his hand in the bottom corner, and it was his own person!
Kevin was about to crash into an opposing defender, and in a flash of lightning, he played the ball into the bottom right corner.
Aim! Jump! Sell!
"Huh!"
The ball goes into the net!
Looking at it again, that person turned out to be Sun Xiaotian!
He's the same as before!
