Chapter 158 The Long Recovery Period From Injuries
Since the Guangsha team won the championship, Ying Xiong has become an indispensable figure in the domestic basketball circle.As a domestic player, on a stage like the CBA Finals, he won the Finals MVP with his undisputed performance, temporarily shutting up those who questioned that the Finals MVP is only awarded to domestic players.Who said that the performance of domestic players must be inferior to that of foreign players?

After the finals, Ying Xiong received many congratulatory calls from insiders.From players to coaches, to basketball media people and so on.But when he received the call from this person, it really surprised him.

The person who called him is the first foreign No. 226 pick in the NBA. He serves as a center and is [-]cm tall. He is currently playing for the Houston Rockets.That's right, this person is Yao Ming.

"Hello, hello, who are you?" Ying Xiong received a call, saw that it was an unfamiliar number, and asked.

"Are you Yingxiong? I'm Yao Ming!" The caller reported his family name.

"Yao...Yao...Ming?" Ying Xiong couldn't believe it, and he faltered a bit.

"Yes, it's me! Congratulations on winning the CBA championship, Ying Xiong!" Yao Ming said.

Ying Xiong adjusted his breathing and calmed down now: "Thank you! I'm sorry, brother Yao Ming, I lost my composure just now. I really didn't expect you to have my phone and call me."

Yao Ming's tone was very gentle: "I asked coach Wang Fei for your number. I'm in the United States now. Didn't you notice that the number is different?"

"I didn't pay attention, I was just playing a game!" Ying Xiong stuck out his tongue and said.

"Ying Xiong, I have watched a lot of your games this season, basically all the finals. I admire your style of play. I think if you can join the national team, it will definitely be of great help to China Basketball. " Yao Ming said seriously.

Ying Xiong said: "Thank you for your appreciation. I just want to win, and I didn't think too much about it."

Yao Ming continued: "Do you have any plans? Do you want to stay in the CBA or participate in the NBA draft?"

"I'm recuperating at home now, let's talk about it when I get better! There is no final decision yet." Ying Xiong said truthfully.

"Oh, if you want to come to the NBA, you can call me and I can give you some advice," Yao Ming said.

"If I am going to participate in the draft, I will definitely contact you! Thank you Yao Ming!" Ying Xiong was very happy.

"Okay, then take good care of your injuries and see you next time!" Yao Ming said.

"Well, goodbye!" Ying Xiong said.

After hanging up the phone, Ying Xiong didn't know how to describe his mood at the moment, but Yao Ming actually called him, which was unimaginable before.Who is Yao Ming?That was the first international No. 1 pick, China's "No.[-]" in the NBA!He personally contacted himself, indicating that his performance has been recognized by more and more people.

……

With the finals over, the Guangsha team and the Guangsha Group have rewarded the team many times and held celebrations many times.This made Ying Xiongying and passers-by a little overwhelmed. Originally, the ankle injury needed to be recuperated, but in this way, the recovery was even slower.

When examining Ying Xiong, the attending doctor said that according to Ying Xiong's physical fitness, he should not recover so slowly.It has been more than half a month, but the swelling in the ankle has not completely receded.To make matters worse, his physical condition is not improving.He hasn't had a cold for many years, and he recently caught a cold for more than a week and still hasn't recovered.Night sweats also occur when sleeping at night, and the quality of sleep is very poor.This was almost impossible for Ying Xiong before.

Ying Xiong's attending doctor speculated that the reason for his slow recovery from injuries and frequent physical conditions recently may be due to his overdrawn body in the finals.Because of the intensive high-intensity events and the forced exercise after the injury, these have caused his ankle injury to become more serious and severely overdrawn his body.

Ying Xiong is distressed at the slow recovery from his injury.The national team is already training and has also called him, but because of his serious ankle injury, he was not officially selected in the end.This makes him feel very sorry, you know, being selected for the national team has always been a dream of his.

But the reality is like this, there is no other way.When he went into battle with an injury, he already knew that if an accident happened, he would have to bear all the adverse consequences.As a result, the leg was not broken, and the ligaments and muscles were not broken, but the severe sprain of both ankles made his recovery extremely slow.

The days of recovery are tough.Both ankles are injured, not to mention playing basketball, and I can't even walk much.This made him stay at home all the time, watching TV and playing computer games, even if he wanted to go out to relax.

Ye Xiangyu, the general manager of the Guangsha team, has raised the issue of contract renewal with Ying Xiong many times.Not only the Guangsha team, but many other CBA clubs have contacted him through various channels, either explicitly or covertly.

Since Ying Xiong is not a player in the system and his contract has expired, as one of the few big-name domestic free agents in the CBA, it is natural that many teams will favor him.

But many experts predict that if Ying Xiong stays in the CBA next season, the Guangsha team is the club he is most likely to sign a contract with.The reason is simple: First, he just won the championship with the Guangsha team. If he goes to another team next season, unless it is a strong team, he will re-enter the finals. There are many uncertainties.The Guangsha team has a stable lineup. If they make some reinforcements this summer, they will still be the favorites to win the championship next season. Second, the Guangsha team can provide Ying Xiong with a contract that matches his worth.If other clubs want to sign Yingxiong, it is bound to be higher than the Guangsha team in terms of contract. Otherwise, why should Yingxiong go to a new environment that needs to be re-adapted.But the Guangsha team is in good condition and won the championship again, so they can provide him with a satisfactory contract; thirdly, the Guangsha team is the team that Ying Xiong grew up from and brought him from the high school league to the CBA. His team can be said to be his "parent team".Ying Xiong has been here for two seasons, and has a very good relationship with his teammates, coaches and management here. From an emotional point of view, everyone doesn't think he will go to another team.

But the question is, what if Ying Xiong participates in the NBA draft?In fact, this possibility is very high.He has already won the championship in the CBA, and many scouts have come to inspect him.He also has what it takes to be drafted by an NBA team.Therefore, many experts predict that maybe he will participate in the NBA draft.

Of course, no matter how much the outside world speculates, no matter how well-founded the reason is, if the parties concerned did not express their views, it can only be counted as speculation.

Ying Xiong fell ill at home, and many people came to visit him. Of course, many people from the CBA team came to his home to discuss the contract with him.He hasn't healed his ankle yet, he's in a bad mood, and he doesn't have the heart to think about these things.Coupled with the fact that Sun Jing was thousands of miles away, the two could only communicate through QQ and phone calls, and they couldn't see each other, so they were naturally very upset.
