I'm really not a superstar

Chapter 169
The day after losing to the Mavericks, the Rockets experienced a 24-hour horror.

Due to the high intensity of the game yesterday, Dorsey was lazy this morning and came to the training hall a little later than usual.

But when he stepped into the stadium, he found that the atmosphere was very strange. General manager Mosaic and coach Adelman were whispering on the sidelines. Both of them had gloomy faces and class struggle.

The few players who came to the gymnasium early for training were silently doing shooting practice. The laughter and laughter from previous training sessions were gone, and the arena reverberated with the sound of the ball hitting the floor and the friction of sneakers against the floor. And monotonous, people sound distracted.

And Dayao sat silently on the sidelines in casual clothes, frowning, thinking about something.

Dorsey wondered, even if he lost, it wouldn't be like this. When did everyone have such a sense of collective honor?

"What's the matter, Yao?" Dorsey walked over and asked.

Dayao raised his head and saw that it was Dorsey. The muscles on his serious face twitched slightly, forcing a smile.

Yao Ming pointed to his feet and said, "The hospital called just now and said that the results of the examination came out. The steel nail implanted in the navicular bone of the left ankle was misplaced and needed to be re-operated. It is conservatively estimated that there will be a three-month truce."

"Huh?" Dorsey felt that his brain had been hit hard by a heavy hammer.

The first reaction is to die!

The Rockets are already in turmoil. If Dayao is seriously injured again, then this season will be completely hiccupped!

Alas, wait... In his previous life, Dayao was seriously injured in the second round of the playoffs. Although he had occasional minor injuries in the regular season, he was not seriously injured.

Could it be that the butterflies vibrating their wings when I came through time travel had the opposite effect, and the fate of the Rockets and Yao Ming was not as good as in the previous life? !
No, it doesn't seem to be the case.

Dorsey faintly felt that something was wrong, and there seemed to be a vague impression of this incident in his previous life deep in his memory.

Dorsey frowned, looking at the sky with his eyes, trying to search for the memory of his previous life.

Seeing him like this, Yao Ming thought he was stunned by this unexpected situation.

Trying to stand up, he patted his shoulder and comforted him: "It's okay, getting injured is already a common occurrence for me."

Then, he made another Yao-style joke: "Come back in three months, he's still a good man! You can stand up to me for these three months!"

Dorsey finally remembered that Yao Ming's career seemed to have had an own injury incident.

Although I don't know exactly when that incident happened, and the specific circumstances.

But as a sports website editor in my previous life, I still have a vague impression of this matter.

Looking at it now, 80%, 90% may be this matter.

So, Dorsey said with a smile: "Don't worry, Dayao, I watched the sky last night, and you will be able to turn bad luck into good luck, and you will be free from all diseases."

Dorsey also smiled when he was comforting himself.

At this time, Mosaic and Adelman came with a staff member pushing a large wheelchair.

"Yao, don't move around anymore. In case your injury gets worse, sit in a wheelchair quickly. We'll take you to the hospital right now."

Dorsey rolled his eyes, and suddenly an idea popped up.

He jumped out to stop him and said, "Don't tell me, Dayao is fine. You can see that he is alive and kicking, and he was not injured at all. The hospital misdiagnosed him."

Everyone present looked at Dorsey strangely, thinking that the kid must have some mental problems.

Adelman said seriously: "Joy, we understand your feelings, but some things are not based on human will. You have to learn to accept reality!"

"Mr. Coach, the reality is that Dayao is not sick!" Dorsey insisted.

Mosaic was a little upset, "Joy, that's enough, stop making trouble!"

"Manager, I'm not making trouble, I'm just stating another fact. Mr. Coach, would you like to make a bet with me?"

"What bet?" Adelman asked subconsciously.

"Bet on whether Dayao is injured or not. I bet he is not injured!"

"I don't have time to do such boring things with you!" Adelman was angry.

Dorsey said to himself, "The bet is the next main game. If I win, how about you let me play the main game!"

Only then did everyone suddenly realize that this kid was doing it for this!

Adelman was very angry. You still tease me at any time.Angry and funny, he replied: "Then what should you do if you lose?"

"If you lose...it's a big deal and you won't be the main player," Dorsey replied weakly.After all, he was not fully sure.

"You think beautifully!" Adelman said angrily. "If you make a mistake, I will send you to the Development League immediately!"

Everyone gasped, Ah Shuai was really angry.

Dayao still took good care of his younger brother, so he quickly smoothed things over, "Dorsey was just joking, coach, don't take it seriously! Dorsey, please apologize to the coach."

But Dorsey was very determined this time. Although he was not [-]% sure, he was still [-]% to [-]%. The odds of winning were very high.

Beat a fight, bike change bike!
"It's a bet!" Dorsey gritted his teeth.

"What?" Everyone present was astonished.

"Coach, there are no jokes in the army, let's issue a military order!" Dorsey's neck twitched, with a look of death.

"Crazy!" Adelman walked away angrily.

Mosaic shook his head and sighed, this Joey Dorsey, everything else is fine, but his mind is not normal.

Oh, by the way, and his troublesome mouth.

In the end, it turned out that Dorsey was right.

After going to the hospital for a follow-up visit, Yao Ming's ankle was fine.

The first-time doctor misread the MRI film.

False alarm, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Dorsey is the master who shines brightly when given some sunshine, so naturally he jumps repeatedly in front of Adelman when he has nothing to do.

Adelman was so annoyed by him that he couldn't bear it, and said angrily: "Okay, don't jump around in front of me! I will let you start in the next game, but the ugly words will come first. If you don't play well, I will kill you." Replace you immediately!"

"Okay, coach, just watch!"

The reason why Adelman agreed with Dorsey to start was that apart from the helplessness of "you have no joke", it was also because Yao Ming's own injury incident scared him into a cold sweat.

If it is true, then this season is really over!

Frightened and trembling, he had to make a decision to let Dayao rest more in the last few games, and to follow the doctor's advice for the time being, and limit his playing time to less than 35 minutes.

Two days later, the Rockets embarked on a road trip to the East.

The first game flew to Washington, away to challenge the Wizards.

Using the word "challenge" is actually not accurate, because the previous record of the Wizards is 1 win and 8 losses, which is the bottom of the Eastern Conference.

Against such a bad team, the Rockets have only one way, and that is to win!
The Rockets' starting roster announced before the game was unexpected.

The other positions remained unchanged, and Ci Shiping also returned to the starting lineup.

Only Yao Ming was on the bench, replaced by Joey Dorsey in the starting lineup!
