NBA's No. 1 guard

Chapter 37: Bad News for the Pacers

Ever since the bullfight that day, old man Jack has started arranging Xu Xiang's training.

Because Xu Xiang's specific situation has been found out, various methods and processes have been slowly implemented.Because there is not much time, only about a month, and there are only three hours a day, Xu Xiang cherishes the training time even more, and works hard, hard, hard every second!The results of this are also gratifying. In the past few days, Xu Xiang's dribbling and low singles skills have improved significantly.

August 8nd is an ordinary day, but it is a very unfortunate day for all Indiana Pacers fans, including the management and coaching staff.For the now hot superstar Paul George, it is even more of a nightmare day.

Pacers star Paul George suffered his worst injury ever during a practice session with the American Dream Team in Las Vegas today.An accident occurred while chasing James Harden. He tried to block Harden, but the two did not have physical contact. Unfortunately, in terms of the NBA arena, the distance between the pillar of the rebound and the outer edge of the end line is 3.5 meters, but here in Las Vegas is 2.44 meters, which is about 1 meter less.It is because of this short one meter that this unprecedented accident was caused.When Paul George landed, his right foot just hit the base of the basket. His right calf was twisted at 90 degrees, and the bone broke directly. Everyone on the scene was frightened.

The head coach of the American Dream Team, Coach K, immediately announced the end of the game and rushed George to the hospital.The other American players who were training together were terrified, and "Wind City Rose" Derek Rose almost cried.Judging from the video released afterwards, that scene was really a nightmare on earth, it was too terrifying.

According to US media reports, George's injury was diagnosed as an open fracture of the tibia and fibula, and ESPN's medical analysts guessed that he will receive at least 9-12 months of treatment.And this is just to say that the physical pain can probably recover. As for the psychological impact, it cannot be guessed.

After the injury, Paul George also immediately said on his Twitter: "Thank you to everyone who cares about me, thank you to my family, fans, and coaches. You are all the motivation for me to continue. I will come back and become better than before." This passage seems very strong, but some sentimental people have shed tears.

The Pacers are the most injured now, and their leading star has such an injury, which is like announcing that their season is over.Back then, their general manager Kevin Pritchard dreamed of defeating James to win the championship this season, but when the news came out, all his fantasies were shattered.

The Pacers are dead, this is everyone's opinion.

This strong team that was able to fight fiercely with the Heat's "Big Three" last season may not even make the playoffs this season.

According to ESPN reporters, the Pacers were at least in the top three in the Eastern Conference this year, but now they have fallen to the back.We must know that the most critical factor in the reason why we were able to achieve No.2 in the Eastern Conference last year was Paul George. Without his brave performance, the Pacers would have been eliminated in the first round, let alone entered the Eastern Conference Finals.

All the NBA stars sent their blessings at the first time. The little prince of the Cavaliers Owen said: "This is too difficult for people to accept. I will never forget this scene in my life. Let us wish him, wish him an early return, my brother @PaulGeorge".Kings star DeMarcus Cousins ​​also said: "Fack the basket, it's all its responsibility, my brother @PaulGeorge, I look forward to your return." He has always had such a fiery temper, so he scolded directly.

Xu Xiang was also the first to receive the news. As a member of the team, although he was still a rookie, he still had to care about the injury of the team leader, so Xu Xiang flew directly to Las Vegas immediately.

Las Vegas has always been a famous place.It has another name: it is called "World Casino".

Countless people come to this place for shopping and tourism every year, and it can be regarded as one of the more famous cities in the United States.

Inside a senior hospital in Las Vegas.

At this time, many people had already come outside, and the media reporters alone surrounded the left circle after circle.Those media reporters have been squatting here for a long time. They can't get into the hospital, so they can only stop other people who came to see Paul George outside the interview.Hope to get some different news from them.

As soon as Xu Xiang arrived at the entrance of the hospital, he was surrounded by these people.They all knew that Xu Xiang was a rookie just signed by the Pacers this year. Not only did he get a big contract, but he also performed very well in the summer league, so they all wanted to see if this younger brother who had just joined the team would say something to his elder brother.

"Hello, Xu, I'm a reporter from XXX in Los Angeles. Do you know how Paul George's injury is now?"

"At present, I don't know the specific situation, but it is a sad thing, isn't it?" Xu Xiang said with a dejected expression.This is indeed a portrayal of his heart.If Paul George is not injured, the Pacers will be able to steadily enter the playoffs this year, and may still have the strength to hit the Eastern Conference championship, because Xu Xiang remembers that at the end of this season, the Cavaliers suffered serious injuries, and because it was the first year, the cooperation of the "Big Three" did not have a tacit understanding, so there is a good chance, but now everything is empty talk.

Some people will think that you know this, why don't you tell him?Wouldn't it be possible to avoid this?What Xu Xiang wanted to say was, who is he?Who is Paul George?He is just a small rookie, and if you say this, will people believe it?People will only think you are crazy.

Then came a series of questions, Xu Xiang didn't understand some of them, it was too noisy, so in the end he always answered with "temporarily unclear".

Xu Xianglai had called Pacers general manager Kevin Pritchard before, so the Pacers sent someone to wait at the door.After seeing Xu Xiang being surrounded, he rushed over immediately and walked in with Xu Xiang.

In the hospital, outside an advanced ward.

Because Paul George has undergone surgery, he is now transferred to the ward to observe the aftereffect.The general manager of the Pacers, Kevin Pritchard, walked back and forth anxiously outside the door, as well as Paul George's family members, all of them looked sad and depressed.

Xu Xiang walked up quickly, just in time to meet Kevin's eyes: "Kevin, how is it? Is the injury confirmed?"

"The doctor has already notified, but we don't know if there will be any other changes in the follow-up." Kevin saw Xu Xiang's fatigue, and led him to introduce him and let him sit down.Xu Xiang never stopped along the way. After getting off the plane, he came directly to the hospital without even drinking his saliva.

"Then can I go in and have a look? I came in a bit of a hurry, and I didn't buy any fruit baskets." Xu Xiang said a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, if you go in, you have to wait, LeBron just came and is now inside." Kevin didn't care about these details, but said to Xu Xiang.

Xu Xiang was shocked, LeBron is here too?Also, he is No.1 in the league now, and George is both his opponent and his good friend, so of course he should come and have a look.
