Chapter 554 We Will! (16/60)
Elaine Trovis saw Wei Xia being carried onto a stretcher. She knew that the situation was not good, but the game had to continue and lost the best player. How could they hold on?
Trovis was concerned about Wei Xia. She didn't know what the situation was now, but she certainly couldn't just sit there.
She stood up and Kobe looked at her position. They nodded at each other, as if passing on a short and easy-to-understand word to each other.
North Shore Garden, Infirmary
Wei Xia was fixed on the bed, and the team doctor was conducting a careful examination of him.
They confirmed Wei Xia's injured part as soon as possible: her left knee.
"Wish, we are not sure about your injury yet, but it is certain that there is a problem with the ligament in the left knee." The team doctor said regretfully, "You have to go to the hospital to get results."
Wei Xia asked: "Now?"
The team doctor said: "It doesn't make sense for you to stay in the garden."
Indeed, Wei Xia doesn't think he can have any influence on the game now. At least, if he is asked to play another quarter, he will definitely become a disabled person.
Is he going to bet on a future for a game that may not necessarily win?
No, that's something that only Ma Daha would do, like Hana Sakuragi.
Wei Xia did not want to force herself to bet on the future. It is a pity for him personally, but if he uses it properly, he can also boost the morale of the whole team. He just wants to win and help the team, which strongly made him want to take a few steps down and see if he can do it.
Wei Xia's idea was opposed by the team doctor.
But his intention was extremely firm: "Let me try it, it's good to have it once. If it doesn't work, I will listen to you whatever you say."
The team doctor wanted to refuse, but he should refuse, but Wei Xia's eyes and actions clearly showed that no matter whether he refused or not, he would have to go downstairs and take a few steps.
He was very stubborn and would never change what he had decided, and he had already made a decision.
"Well, you can take a few steps and have any discomforts. Be sure to tell me that you still have a bright career, don't take risks!"
Wei Xia nodded, and with the help of the team doctor, he untied the joint protective gear that fixed the limbs.
※※※
The half-time game ended in an atmosphere where the Lakers could lose at any time.
After Wei Xia made a three-pointer before the injury, the score difference reached 46-49. After that, the Lakers no longer scored, but the Celtics scored 4 points.
53 to 46, they entered the second half with a 7-point lead.
In the midfield interview, Kobe was interviewed with a stiff face.
"Wish's injury is unknown. Will your game plan be affected?"
"Yes," Kobe was stunned for a moment, as if afraid of being seen in his heart. He hurriedly added, "But we will definitely find a way to adjust our state."
After saying that, he quickly walked into the player channel.
Along the way, Kobe repeatedly thought about what he was worried about? Wei Xia couldn't come back? Losing the final? Being ridiculed? Prove that he could not win the championship after leaving the Sharks?
Why should he worry about this?
When will he worry about this?
Kobe walked into the locker room, what did he see inside? A group of people who were in dismay.
They had no fighting spirit, not because they lost the game, but because they did not have Wei Xia in the second half. It turned out that the guy had already gained such weight in the locker room.
Kobe has always claimed to be one of the people who know Wei Xia the best, but he never thought why Wei Xia was so popular.
In just three years, he conquered the locker room and Staples, and even silenced the North Shore Garden, which was so emotionally high that it was like a pan. In the game6, which Bostonians called "the stolen game" in the future, he conquered the North Shore Garden!
It turns out that he has done so many things.
What did I do? Kobe thought to himself, he just kept disappointing, constantly throwing balls, constantly making the situation worse, but he didn't vent all the resentment and dissatisfaction in his body. He always just kept his problems in his heart, and waited for it to correct itself, or became worse.
Do you still need to continue like this?
At this time, Phil Jackson talked about the possibility that Wei Xia might be absent in the second half, "I hope you don't get affected."
silence!
It was as if someone had passed away, and he was extremely silent and depressed.
"Of course we won't be affected!"
Someone spoke with a sharp tone, as if no one had ever heard him speak in this tone.
Everyone in the locker room couldn't help but look at the person talking - Kobe Bryant! He stood up from his seat and walked to the middle.
"Yes, this is best, and then..." The Zen master wanted to say a few more words.
"Phil, stop talking nonsense!" Kobe was so rude that he could make the Zen master crazy interrupt him, "We are now behind away and have lost the best performers in the team. Everyone is waiting for us to fail, including you, look at your face. Is this a good sign?"
Jackson didn't know what Kobe was doing, he was surprised and angry, but he was looking forward to what happened next.
"This may not be a good sign, but it may not be... Team, we have always been talking about it, but we didn't put it in our hearts! The outbreak of wish has benefited a lot from us. We survived the sixth game with his help, but we did not change anything, and we were still the same, hoping that a third-grade guy would come to save us. Jesus Christ couldn't bear it anymore, so he took him away from us! This is an opportunity! An opportunity to return to a team from relying on someone's performance!"
Kobe waved his hands: "Obviously we all hate this, don't we?"
"Yes, we can win without wish!" Magloil wanted to echo Kobe.
"No, no, not just wish, I'm talking about it, we all hate this - everyone relies on someone's performance to win, we all hate this!"
"I hate that people tell me that I can win three rings because of the shark!"
"You also hate that others say that you can win because of me."
"Now, I think you all hate others' words just like me, because of wish, we can get here! We hate this!"
More than a dozen players nodded intermittently, and some responded gently to express their agreement.
"We hate that we violated the rules of the game and believed in the strength of individuals! We hate that we retreated in the face of real tests, and we can only look forward to someone saving the game in our hearts!" Kobe had such an emotional outburst in front of his teammates for the first time. "Slowly, we became like this, what an ugly face! This is what I saw in the locker room. You all know that I didn't tell lies. Just when wish was injured, I felt that we were finished. Without him, we couldn't win this game!"
"But now, I think I'm wrong!"
"No, this is God's greeting, this is the choice of the Almighty Jesus Christ! The Father of God has given us a chance to prove ourselves again, and wishing to leave the scene is the answer!"
Derek Fisher asked nervously: "Does anyone think Kobe is crazy like me?"
"Stop Derek!" Kobe stopped him, "This is our opportunity to return from a group of scattered soldiers to a team! No wish, no me, no you, no him, only us! Did you hear it? From now on, only us! We must trust each other! Support each other! Rely on each other, and we can definitely laugh to the end!"
One second of silence
"Does anyone think we can't do it?!!"
"No!!!"
This is the neat and most thrilling response.
"Does anyone think we will perish without wish?!!!"
“no!!!”
"That's what I said, wishing to be injured is not necessarily a bad thing! I want me to say that his injury and absence are blessings given to us by God! I want me to say that his departure will make us..."
Just as Kobe's speech was about to completely ignite the locker room, he was interrupted by an extremely unhappy voice coming from the door: "You are such an unparalleled bastard. I was hurt and I became your blessing?"
Another second of silence, awkward silence, suffocating silence, everyone looked at the door, including Kobe. The last words that he had never said showed that his most beautiful speech in his life was destroyed by Wei Xia, so it turned into indescribable anger. He roared out of control: "are you kidding me!!!" (You numb and play with me!!!)
Wei Xia ignored the angry Kobe and said to the others: "It's almost time, everyone, prepare to go back and warm up."
"Are you okay?" Fisher asked excitedly.
"No, there was something wrong with my knees. I couldn't help much in the second half, but I'll still play and do my best."
Cheers, screams, Kobe's speech, the first time born inspiring, the ending was completed by Wei Xia.
Teammates rushed out of the locker room, and the coaching staff followed their pace.
Kobe was unhappy, but he saw that there was someone behind Wei Xia - why was she here?
Wei Xia heard the footsteps behind her and looked back. Elaine Trovis, she seemed to have been chasing all the way. When she saw Wei Xia, she strode to him, took out a signature pen from her body, grabbed Wei Xia's right hand, and signed her name in the palm of her hand.
Then, she handed the signature pen to Kobe.
Kobe took Trovis' signature pen in confusion. He never expected that Trovis would hold Wei Xia on his own initiative. In less than half a second, his fiery red lips kissed Wei Xia.
"Where the hell do you think this is here!?"
Kobe should be thankful for his bald look, and if he still had hair, he had been ignited by his anger.
Trovis' deep kiss lasted for five or six seconds, then he took the initiative to withdraw, without saying a word from beginning to end, turned around and walked out of the Lakers' locker room, as if he was crossing the early morning road.
Wei Xia looked at the signature in the palm of her hand. She didn't need to say anything more. He knew what the signature was for and what Trovis's kiss represented. He smiled satisfiedly and suddenly discovered Kobe who had erupted in the volcano. He said embarrassedly: "This may be the legendary charm. Elaine was fascinated by me..."
"Stop fucking nonsense!"
After saying that, he was about to walk out of the locker room, when he arrived at the door, he suddenly stopped and turned around and said, "If you can't fight, don't force it."
Kobe left, and Wei Xia was the only one left in the locker room.
Wei Xia was sure that he had suffered a serious injury. Whether walking or running, his left foot would hurt. He lost his acceleration ability, lateral movement ability and athletic ability, and he could not jump or run. This state would definitely become a burden when he was on the field, but he knew that because of this, he wanted to fight.
