You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 548 We Will! (1660)

Elaine Trovis saw Wei Xia being carried on a stretcher. She knew that the situation was not good, but the game had to continue and lost the best player. How would they survive?
Trovis cares about Wei Xia, she doesn't know what's going on now, but she certainly can't just sit like this.

She stood up just as Kobe was looking at her.They nodded to each other, as if passing a short and understandable sentence to each other.

North Shore Gardens, Infirmary
Wei Xia was fixed on the bed, and the team doctor was examining him carefully.

They confirmed Wei Xia's injury in the fastest time: left knee.

"Wish, we are still not sure about your injury, but we are sure that there is a problem with the ligament of the left knee." The team doctor said regretfully, "You have to go to the hospital to get results."

Wei Xia asked: "Now?"

"It doesn't make sense for you to stay in the garden," said the team doctor.

Indeed, Wei Xia doesn't think he can still have any influence on the game now. At least, if he is asked to play another quarter of the game, he will definitely become disabled.

Is he going to gamble his future for a game that he may not win?

No, that's something that a madman like Yingmu Huadao would do.

Wei Xia is not trying to force himself to gamble on the future. The injury is a pity for him personally, but if it is used properly, it can also boost the morale of the team. He only wants to win and help the team. It is so strong that he can't help but want to take a few steps to see if he can do it.

Wei Xia's idea was opposed by the team doctor.

But his heart is extremely firm: "Let me try it, just once, if it doesn't work, I will listen to you whatever you say."

The team doctor wanted to refuse, and he should refuse, but Wei Xia's eyes and movements made it clear that whether he refused or not, he would have to walk a few steps down the ground.

He is very stubborn, and what he has decided will never change. He has already made a decision.

"Well, you can take a few steps, if you feel any discomfort, you must tell me, 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 protectors that fixed his limbs.

※※※

The halftime game ended in an atmosphere where the Lakers could lose miserably at any time.

After Wei Xia made a three-pointer before the injury, the point difference came to 46 to 49. After that, the Lakers stopped scoring, but the Celtics scored 4 points.

53 to 46, they entered the second half with a 7-point lead.

In the halftime interview, Kobe accepted the interview with a stiff face.

"Wish's injury is unknown, will your game plan be affected?"

"Yes," Kobe was stunned for a moment, as if he was afraid of being seen to be uneasy in his heart, and hurriedly added, "But we will definitely find a way to adjust the state."

After all, he quickly walked into the player channel.

Along the way, Kobe thought over and over again, what was he worried about?Will Wei Xia come back?Lose the final?Being laughed at?Prove that he can't win the championship without the Sharks?
Why should he worry about this?

When will he worry about this?

Kobe walked into the locker room, what did he see in it?A bunch of lost souls.

They have no fighting spirit, not because they lost the game, but because they did not have Wei Xia in the second half.Turns out, that guy has achieved such weight in the locker room.

Kobe has always claimed to be one of the people who knows Wei Xia best, but he never thought about why Wei Xia is so popular.

In just three years, he conquered the locker room, conquered Staples, and even silenced the North Shore Garden in Game6, where the emotions were as high as a frying pan. In Game6, which will be called "the stolen game" by Bostonians in the future, he conquered the North Shore Garden!

It turned out that he had done so many things.

what did I do?Bryant thought to himself, he just kept disappointing, kept missing shots, kept making things worse, but instead of venting all the resentment and dissatisfaction in his body, he always just kept his problem inside and waited for it to fix itself or get worse.

Do you want to continue like this?
At this time, Phil Jackson talked about Wei Xia's possible absence in the second half, "I hope you will not be affected."

silence!

As if someone had passed away, there was incomparable silence and depression.

"Of course we won't be affected!"

Someone spoke, sharply, as if no one had ever heard him speak like that.

Everyone in the locker room couldn't help but look at the speaker - Kobe Bryant!He got up from his seat and walked to the middle seat.

"Yes, this is the best, and then" the Zen master wanted to say a few more words.

"Phil, stop talking nonsense!" Kobe was rude enough to make Zen Master interrupt him madly, "We are now behind on the road and lost the best player on the team. Everyone is waiting for us to fail, including yourselves. Look at your faces. Is this a good sign?"

Jackson didn't know what Kobe was doing. He was surprised and angry, but looked forward to what happened next.

"This may not be a good sign, but it's not necessarily a good sign. The team, we have been talking about it all the time, but we don't take it into our hearts! Wish's explosion has benefited us a lot. We survived Game [-] with his help, but we haven't changed anything. We are still the same.

Bryant waved his hands: "Obviously we all hate this, don't we?"

"That's right, we can win without Wish!" Magloire wanted to echo Kobe.

"No no no, it's not just Wish, what I'm saying is, we all hate this - everyone depends on someone's performance to win, we all hate this!"

"I hate when people tell me I've won three rings because of sharks!"

"You also hate people saying that you can win because of me."

"Now, I think you all hate it as much as I do when people say we got here because of Wish! We hate this!"

A dozen or so players nodded intermittently, and some responded softly, expressing their agreement.

"We hate that we violate the rules of the game and believe in the strength of individuals! We hate that we shrink back in front of the real test, and we can only hope that someone will save the game in our hearts!" Kobe had such an emotional outburst in front of his teammates for the first time. "Gradually, we became like this, what an ugly face! This is what I saw in the locker room. You all know that I am not lying. Just now, when Wish was injured, I thought we were finished. We couldn't win this game without him!"

"But now, I think I was wrong!"

"No, this is God's greeting, this is the choice of the Almighty Jesus Christ! God the Father gave us another chance to prove ourselves. Wish leaving the field with an injury is the answer!"

Derek Fisher nervously asked: "Does anyone think Kobe is as crazy as I am?"

"Shut up Derek!" Kobe cut him off. "This is our chance to return from a group of scattered soldiers to a team! No Wish, no me, no you, no him, just us! Did you hear that? From now on it's just us! We have to trust each other! Support each other! Rely on each other, and we will have the last laugh!"

a second of silence
"Does anyone think we can't do it?!!"

"No!!!"

It was the tidiest, most sonorous response.

"Does anyone else think that we will perish without Wish?!!!"

"No!!!!"

"That's what I said, Wish's injury is not necessarily a bad thing! If you want me to say, his injury and absence is a blessing given to us by God! If you want me to say, his departure will make us become..."

Just when Kobe's speech was about to completely ignite the locker room, he was interrupted by an extremely unpleasant voice from the door: "You are such an incomparable bastard, I was injured and became your blessing?"

Another second of silence, embarrassing silence, suffocating silence, everyone looked towards the door, including Kobe, whose last unspoken words showed that the most beautiful speech in his life was ruined by Wei Xia, so it turned into unspeakable anger, and he roared out of control: "Are you kidding me!!!" (You paralyzed me!!!)
Wei Xia ignored the furious Kobe, and said to the others: "It's almost time, everyone, go back and warm up."

"Are you okay?" Fisher asked excitedly.

"No, I had a problem with my knee and I couldn't help much in the second half, but I will still play and give my best."

Cheers, screams, Kobe's speech, inspiring for the first time in his life, was finished by Wei Xia.

The teammates rushed out of the locker room, and the coaching staff followed them.

Kobe was upset, but he saw that there was someone behind Wei Xia—why is she here?

Wei Xia heard the footsteps behind him and looked back. Elaine Trovis, she seemed to be chasing him all the way. Seeing Wei Xia, she strode up to him, took out a signature pen from her body, grabbed Wei Xia's right hand, and signed her name on the palm of her hand.

Then, she handed the signature pen to Kobe.

Kobe accepted Trovis' signature pen in confusion. He never expected that Trovis hugged Wei Xia actively, and within half a second, kissed Wei Xia with fiery red lips.

"What the hell do you think this is!?"

Bryant should be thankful for his bald look, if he still has hair, which is now ignited by his anger.

Trovis's deep kiss lasted for five or six seconds, and then, he took the initiative to withdraw, without saying a word from the beginning to the end, turned around and walked out of the Lakers' locker room, just like crossing the road in the early morning.

Wei Xia looked at the signature in the palm of his hand and didn't need to say anything else. He knew what the signature was for and what Trovis' kiss represented. He laughed contentedly, and suddenly found Kobe who was erupting.

"Stop the fucking bullshit!"

After all, he was about to walk out of the locker room, when he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and turned around and said, "If you can't fight, don't force it."

Kobe left, leaving only Wei Xia in the locker room.

Wei Xia can be sure that he has suffered a serious injury. Whether he is walking or running, his left foot will hurt. He has lost his acceleration ability, lateral movement ability and athletic ability.

The legend of Willis Reed is beckoning to him!
