In the Clippers' away locker room, Curry lay on a massage table with his shoes, socks and bandages on his feet removed.

His right ankle is badly swollen, and this sprain is more serious from the surface alone, and it is not a simple ice application and treatment that can continue to appear.

Min Congda came to the locker room and looked at Curry's ankles, with mixed feelings in his heart.

On the one hand, Curry is injured and plays less games, which is good for the swing.

On the other hand, as a friend, I can't be happy to see him suffering.

Curry looked very, very depressed, his head hanging and waiting for the doctor to deal with it.

The Clippers recruited two new sports medicine doctors to serve as the team's team doctor this offseason, which Rosser personally recruited.

For this kind of job that costs money to recruit people, Min Congda is very happy, the salaries of these two doctors are not cheap, and Min Congda also increased their salaries.

One of them, Steve Clems, took Curry back to the locker room and gave Curry a simple handling of his ankle.

Then he made a preliminary diagnosis and said, "It should be an ordinary sprain, and I can return to normal and continue to play after about two weeks of rest." However, the specific situation still has to wait for the results of the MRI to know how long to rest. ”

Hearing the doctor say that a two-week break is fine, Curry's mood is much better.

Min Congda thought, will you see a doctor, just say two weeks casually?

Min Congda walked up to the massage table and said to Curry, "Stephen, how many times has I sprained my ankle this year?" ”

"It's the fifth time, but I don't think it's a problem and I can keep playing," Curry said. ”

Min Congda shook his head and said, "I think it's better for you to have surgery sooner." Otherwise, the impact of injuries will be greater and greater in the future. I see you're worried about your ankle when you're playing, right? ”

Min Congda said that Curry was on his mind, and he was indeed worried about his ankle.

However, he continued: "Injuries are part of the game and they are always with me from the moment I step on the pitch, and it is unavoidable. I don't think I'm okay with a good rest and I can continue playing. ”

Min Congda flatly refused and said, "No! I recommend surgery! I'll call your dad later and ask him to come over and talk about surgery. Rest assured, don't worry about contracts. ”

Curry hurriedly argued: "It's not a contract problem, I want to..."

"Don't think about it! I think for you, if you want to have a longer and more successful career, treat your body well. Have you forgotten what I usually say? Take a long-term view! ”

To be honest, Min Congda is a little weak when he talks about "long-term vision" now.

He is sometimes afraid that in the long run, it will really become a long-term benefit.

But he can't care so much, the opportunity to correct the error is right in front of him!

He patted Curry on the shoulder and said, "Heal your ankle sooner, or you won't be able to dunk in the future." ”

Curry was still hesitant, and he was taken to an Oakland hospital by the team doctor for an MRI.

Min Congda did not return to the court, and for him, winning or losing the game is not so important.

He immediately called Dell Curry to inform him of Stephen's injury.

The elder Curry had already learned of his son's injury on live television.

He said he would come to Los Angeles right away to decide if he would have surgery for treatment.

Because of Curry's absence, the Clippers fell into chaos on the offensive end in the second half.

Dunleavy sent Bledsoe on and allowed Hinrich to have more possession.

But without Curry, the Clippers' outside three-point firepower has been greatly reduced.

The Warriors seized the opportunity and turned the tide with an 11-2 offensive shockwave at the end of the third quarter.

In the fourth quarter, the two sides entered a tangled battle, with Randolph and Gasol Jr. supporting the offense and defense on the inside.

However, Harden and Ricky missed three consecutive points at critical moments.

With Harden missing a three-point shot in the final moments, the Warriors reversed the Clippers at 109-107 at home, with a two-point advantage.

Gave the Clippers a loss.

When Min Congda's mobile phone received a text message of 2,000 yuan for losing wages, there was no more turmoil in his heart.

Getting Curry to hurry up for surgery and get a good rest is the most important thing.

Curry finished his MRI and returned to Los Angeles with the team.

The next day, the results of the examination came back, and as judged by the team doctor, it was not a very serious sprain.

You only need to rest for about two weeks and take appropriate treatment to continue playing normally.

However, the doctor also advised, "His ankle tendons and ligaments have been damaged, and if he continues to play high-intensity games, it will wear out further." Surgery for repair in advance is a good option. ”

After returning to Los Angeles, Curry took a break at home.

Dale Curry and his wife flew from Charlotte to Los Angeles that night.

Curry's brokerage team, his parents' girlfriend, Curry himself, and Min Congda had a meeting at home.

Min insisted that Curry should have had surgery sooner rather than later to repair his right ankle.

Instead of dragging conservative treatment and recovering while playing, the situation will only get worse.

Dale Curry is both concerned about his son's health and wants not to affect Curry's future.

The broker team is concerned about Curry's commercial value and the issue of his next contract.

Min Congda promised: "If Curry has surgery, I will immediately renew his contract early!" You don't have to worry about contracts at all! ”

Dale Curry knew that Min Congda had always been generous, and said, "Mr. Smart, I have a lot of respect for you, and your generous alliance is well known. However, how to choose, it still depends on Stephen himself, and it depends on how he chooses. ”

Curry sat on the couch with his head bowed, his ankles held in place by specialized rings, and his face was cloudy.

He's torn up with the talent of the team, which made the playoffs last season, and is going to go even further this season.

Harden is also on the team, and the two are teammates, friends, and competitors at the same time.

He didn't want to fall behind in the competition, and he didn't want to wait until he came back and was already behind Harden.

But Mr. Smart's words always have a point, doesn't he, he always has such a long-term and unique vision.

The sooner he gets rid of his ankle heart disease, he will be able to concentrate on improving himself in the future, and he will be able to go further.

After a fierce ideological struggle, Curry said, "I think it's better to listen to Mr. Smart and have surgery." In order to play better in the league in the future. ”

Min Congda shouted victory in his heart, and he stepped forward to hug Curry and said, "Your decision is very brave!" You're going to get well soon, I'm telling the truth. ”

The second half of the sentence Min Congda is sincere.

Curry laughed, "I know, I want to dunk in the future." ”

Min Congda laughed along.

At this moment, Min Congda was a little puzzled, did he want Curry to have surgery, did he want him not to play the game, or did he care about him from the bottom of his heart?

"Whatever, I can't treat my little brother badly anyway."
