In the critical moment, link made two fatal defense in a row, Carter finished the unique kill, the Grizzlies survived in the Oracle arena, the total score of the series became 2:1, and the defending champion regained the advantage...
on the surface, the Grizzlies'' night was perfect. All the Memphis fans were silent in the joy after the victory.
They cheered for link, while Carter sang and applauded Joel''s bold decision at the critical moment.
But as Grizzlies coach, Dave Joel is worried.
As soon as the game was over, link and moon went to the local hospital in Auckland. After attending the press conference, Joel came to the press conference immediately.
At this time, he and link are outside the doctor''s office, waiting for the results of the physical examination.
From time to time, link''s face, which covered his chest and grinned, always appeared before his eyes.
Having worked with link for so many years, Joel knows his character. It''s not just because of his outstanding personal ability that the guy has achieved so much success.
And because link''s tenacity and will are incomparable!
This kind of quality makes link not afraid in the face of any difficulties, so that he can hardly be knocked down.
Over time, the Grizzlies'' whole team was also infected by link''s characteristics.
In Joel''s opinion, that''s why the Grizzlies, a small city team, can compete for three consecutive titles.
Their configuration is not the best in the league, their number of superstars is not the largest in the league, and even their boss is not the richest in the league.
But they are far more tenacious and determined than the other 29 teams.
As a result, link usually doesn''t grin because of a little pain.
Although link''s career so far has not encountered any major injuries, but there are still some small bumps. Not a single injury, let link frown.
He is always able to get up the first time after a fall, he can always insist in the fierce confrontation.
Under normal circumstances, link will not show his painful side, he will not allow himself to do so.
Unless he is suffering from a pain that ordinary people can''t imagine!
Just as Joel was dreaming, Munn came out of the doctor''s office with the film that link had just made.
Munn''s expression is very serious, this middle-aged man is usually a smile, very friendly. So the relationship with the players is also very good.
It''s rare to hear of a team where the players and the chief doctor can get together, but Munn is an example.
So when this friendly man becomes serious, it means that the situation is very bad, very, very bad.
"How about it?" Joel got together and cared more about the results than link himself.
Instead of responding immediately, Munn stares at link and shakes his head. "You tell me, how the hell did you do that!? I can''t believe it. I can''t believe it
"What''s the matter?" Link looks confused. What did he do?
"Have a look. Have you seen this film? Here, there is an obvious crack! First costal cartilage non displacement fracture, fracture! God, how on earth did you keep playing the whole game Moon held up the film in the light and looked at link in surprise.
As a sports medicine expert, he has never seen such a case!
A player may be able to play with a dislocated, sprained or open wound. But after the fracture insisted on playing the whole game, he really did not see!
Munn has not experienced a rib fracture, but he also experienced a calf fracture on the football field when he was young.
It was just a bone fracture, and moon was rolling on the ground in pain. At that time, he couldn''t even stand up, let alone continue to play.
He knows how painful a fracture can be, and as an expert in sports medicine, he has seen countless broken players.
None of them can keep playing after an injury like a fracture.
Munn really can''t imagine how link survived the fourth quarter.
With his rib broken, he continued to fight with the warriors, push and shove, yes, and the last brave save that rushed into the audience...
the more he thought about it, the more he thought about it, the more he thought about it. If it wasn''t for the film in his hand, he might have doubted whether link was the terminator robot sent by the future!
No wonder link is always covering his chest, no wonder he just hurt when the pain screamed out, no wonder his fourth quarter shooting percentage fell.
Be others an elbow to give dry fracture, can not ache!? Can not affect the shooting!?
If it happened to other people, it would not be as simple as shouting.
"What are you talking about? First costal cartilage fracture! " Joel was also shocked. If he had known that link was broken, he would have taken him to rest.
But link''s performance on the court, the pressure does not look like a fracture!Indeed, in normal life, there are people who still insist on working after fracture. But it''s different from normal work to have a fierce confrontation on the court after a fracture!
"Is it so serious? I thought it wasn''t serious. " Link looked down at his chest. He didn''t know that he was OK when he was fractured. After knowing that he was fractured, how did he feel suddenly more painful...
"you are a monster... Don''t say that the opponent is afraid of you, I''m afraid of you now. You can''t always carry on some things. Now that''s the situation... "Moon said half way, looking at link and Joel.
"... in this case, we can only have an indefinite truce. Costal cartilage fracture, if incomplete fracture is OK, but complete fracture, at least a month time. Of course, this is the best case. In fact, it''s hard to be so ideal. It''s hard to say, but link, this season... You almost can''t play this season, you''re out of business
Joel covered his head, and the word "reimbursement" was like a bolt from the blue, chopping him to pieces.
Link bit his teeth, too. He did feel his chest ache more than he had just had.
Maybe it''s because of adrenaline in the game, so the pain is not so obvious. Now link is struggling to raise his hand, let alone shoot.
The first rib cartilage fracture, it''s not a career threatening injury. Under normal circumstances, it''s over to have peace of mind and recuperate.
But all the people present know that it is not the normal situation at the three consecutive championships. This time missed, God knows if there is another chance in this life.
Although the Grizzlies can play more than link, but anyone knows that without link, the Grizzlies'' strength will be difficult to compete with the warriors and subsequent Eastern Conference champions.
All three fell into a brief silence, the crucial moment season reimbursement of this cruel fact, everyone needs to digest.
"In my case, can I have a closed injection?" In the end, it was link who broke the silence.
So far, it''s all in one basket. Link knows the dangers of a closed shot. It''s a trade-off between the future and the present.
Ibaka last season for thunder played a closed shot, the results of this season, his state plummeted!
But link can''t pay attention to so much. If this opportunity is not grasped at present, there will not be such an opportunity in the future.
Munn, however, shook his head slightly and rejected link''s proposal. "First of all, I''m not going to give my patients a closed injection. It''s not worth the cost. I won''t do it. Second, you have a cartilage fracture, so you can''t fight. "
Link sighed after hearing that, didn''t he even have the conditions to gamble?
Silence, another silence.
"Is there really no way out? Munn, you know, I can''t pay for the season." Link used the word "can''t". Who doesn''t want to rest after a fracture?
But link can''t. He can''t fall.
"You''re not a machine, link. There''s no quick cure. But...
hearing Munn say the word "but", link''s eyes flashed suddenly, "go on, Munn!"
"We can''t cure you quickly, but if things don''t get worse in the next few days, in theory, you can come out with a protective device. But it''s only theoretically possible, because whether you play or not depends on your ability to tolerate pain. But this kind of pain is impossible...
half of what Munn said, he immediately regretted. Because link has always been able to turn anything theoretical into reality.
Nothing is impossible for that guy.
