Chapter 706 Where have you been
Even if the game entered garbage time, Bai Jidong still played very hard. As long as the Spurs don't replace the main players, they must go all out.

At the end of the game, Bai Jidong scored 50 points, 9 rebounds and 11 assists, leading the Timberwolves to a 24-point victory over the Spurs.

Vashabek, who replaced Battier, scored 16 points, 5 rebounds and 2 steals efficiently.

"This match is for Sean." After the match, Bai Jidong was chased by many media.

Bai Jidong is bored with the interviews of this group of reporters, and Battier is in the hospital for an examination.His injury was initially diagnosed as a torn meniscus in his left knee.

If diagnosed, it means reimbursement for the season.

"Do you think Bruce did it on purpose?" the San Antonio local reporter asked.

It was difficult for Bai Jidong to keep a smile on his face, he was stiff, and his tone was a little indifferent, "I don't know, all I know is that this is the second time Sean got hurt because of him."

"Will you guys be affected if Sean is out for a while?" another reporter asked.

"Of course." Bai Jidong continued to reply.

The reporter asked all kinds of questions. Although Bai Jidong was very impatient, he still had to finish the half-hour interview.

After the interview, Bai Jidong quickly returned to the locker room to take a shower, and then went to the hospital with the team to visit Battier.

Shane Battier has finished the examination and is now lying on the hospital bed. He looked at his left knee. Although the examination results have not yet come out, he knows that the situation is not optimistic.

The moment he landed, Battier felt a change in his knee and he knew something was torn.

"Sean, I just saw your selfie on Inu, I didn't expect you to be so leisurely." Hardaway joked.

Shane Battier smiled cheerfully: "Of course, it doesn't matter if you get injured. The key is not to be embarrassed. I'm the starter!"

"Not soon." Hardaway stabbed Battier's heart with a knife.

The president was heartbroken: "Penny, I thought you were a good person, but I didn't expect..."

Hardaway laughed: "If you don't want to lose the starting position, you should return to the team quickly, otherwise our Bo Nu will fight for the top position."

Battier looked at Vashabek. He has been relatively silent and doesn't talk much.

"How did it go?" Battier asked.

Vashabek replied: "I didn't hold you back." "That's amazing, keep going, I'm optimistic about you." Shane Battier seemed to be entrusted with the funeral.

"Let's talk about this kind of thing after the inspection report comes out." Bai Jidong wanted to dispel the heavy atmosphere.

"White Wolf, I know my situation myself." Battier put away his smile.

Medved interrupted: "Don't worry about recuperating, we're fine." "Son of the Long Deer, don't talk nonsense!" Vashabek shouted.

"Would a wolf pack disintegrate when a wolf goes away?" Medved asked.

"That's right! The wolves in Apolis will not disintegrate because of my departure. Rookie, I don't need to trouble you to buy things for me in the future." Battier smiled.

Medved only understood half of Shane Battier's words. He understood the sentence "You don't have to buy me anything from now on."

Kathy arrives with the doctor, holding Shane's test results.

"Come on, sentence me to death." Shane was ready.

Battier was diagnosed with a torn meniscus in his left knee and a fractured femur in his right foot. He needs to be sidelined for at least eight months, which means he is out for the season.

"Sean, don't think too much, take care of your injuries, we'll wait for you to come back." Casey said.

Battier's mood is very stable: "Don't worry about me, I know what to do. You go first, I have something to say to White Wolf."

"How does it feel to enter the offseason early?" Bai Jidong sat down and joked.

Battier laughed and said, "It's cool! It's great! I can get eight months' salary without doing anything here, and you still have to play games hard."

"Then should I congratulate you, Mr. President, you can finally rest." Bai Jidong smiled wryly.

Battier propped up his body: "To be honest, if I had to choose, I would still choose to play with you. I don't want to rest, I want to play, I want..."

"Don't think about it, no matter how much you think about it, you can't change this fact. Your mentality was very good before, just treat it as a vacation." Bai Jidong said.

Battier burst out laughing, his smile was a bit bitter, "No matter how much I pretend to be optimistic, my heart keeps telling me, I want to play, I want to play."

"I've been hurt too, I know how it feels." Bai Jidong said.

Shane Battier changed his tone and said, "Since I'm all injured, can you say a few words of truth?"

"What truth?"

"Where have you been?"

Bai has been covered with winter, and Battier's question is a bit scary, isn't he in front of Battier?
"Am I not here?"

"I mean, where did the white wolf go?"

Battier said word by word: "Now I have every reason to suspect that there are two people in the White Wolf, one regards failure as death and wants to tear the opponent apart in every game, and the other regards the game as entertainment, focusing on the process and not caring about it." win or lose."

"The White Wolf I know is the former, it's you tonight, so I want to ask, a while ago, the previous game, where did you go?" Battier asked.

Battier's sudden question made Bai Weidong at a loss, he didn't know how to answer this question.

"My recent condition is not very good, so I have been adjusting." Bai Jidong said.

Battier stared at him closely, as if he wanted to see through Bai Jidong from the inside out, "Then where did you go? Who took you away?"

"I took myself away." Bai Jidong replied.

Battier shook his head and said, "I don't know what happened to you, but come back quickly, time is running out."

"I will."

Bai Jidong seemed to be pressed down by a mountain, the pressure made it hard for him to breathe.

Battier looked at the flowers on the table and said lightly: "Even if our legend ends here, this is a journey worth remembering for a lifetime. But I will always think, always dream, that we will win the championship again."

"White Wolf, have you thought about it? The way we won the championship again." Battier asked.

Bai Jidong was silent and did not answer.

"In the past three years, you have accomplished too many impossible things. In my heart, you are greater than Michael Jordan."

"Sean, you're being serious."

Bai Jidong wanted to keep a smile on his face, but he couldn't.

Battier laughed: "Now I understand that people are overwhelmed by greatness because greatness exists in everyone's heart, and it is often easier to worship greatness."

"It's easier to witness someone else's greatness than to be great yourself. Because it takes time, it takes effort, it takes discipline, it takes sacrifice, so it's easier to be great, and that's why I'm Sean Battier, and You are a white wolf." Battier said helplessly.

Bai Jidong stood up, opened the window, looked at the street under the night, and felt emotional.

"For the past three years, I've been doing the same thing, doing the same job, and my life has been going through the exact same thing, the same. I admit, I'm kind of tired."

"Now I know where you went." Battier said.

These words have been held back in Bai Jidong's heart for too long, now that he speaks out, he feels much more comfortable.

Seeing Battier laughing, he laughed too.

The two have been working together for four years. Although they don't know each other well, they are familiar with each other.

"No matter how negative you are now, I have a feeling that you will come back. You will come back strong! You will let everyone see your desire, the desire for victory, the desire for the championship." Battier said As if he had seen that day.

Bai Jidong heard Battier's encouragement: "I will find my form, and you should come back as soon as possible. We need you."

"Does the team really need me?" Battier twitched his lips, mocking himself a bit. "As far as I know, I'm not the team's long-term plan."

This year is Battier's contract year. As early as last year's offseason, he expressed his desire to stay in the Timberwolves, but the management has not started the contract renewal negotiations for a long time.

It's no wonder that Battier is embarrassed by the young Vashabek who has unlimited potential in the same position.

"I promise that I will come back, and you will come back too. No matter where you are, you will make a perfect comeback." Bai Jidong said.

Battier didn't want to talk about it anymore, he bent down and lay down under the covers.

"It's getting late, you go back, don't you have to go to the next away game tomorrow?"

"Then you go to bed early, and we will see you in Apolis."

Bai Jidong closed the window, picked up his backpack, and quietly walked to the room.
