Chapter 281: Continued high fever
Lost? Lost! The Thunder were chasing the whole game, but in the end they still couldn't catch up.
Anjie still scored a double-double in this game, with 22 points and rebounds. He looked very much like Yao Ming last year, but the Thunder were also very much like the Rockets last year.
The Purple and Gold Army won this battle of Kings Mountain. Like last season when playing against the Rockets, the Lakers must have a tiebreak with the Thunder!
After the game, Yao Ming, who was watching the game at home, was reluctant to turn off the TV. The reason why he is idle at home is because of this game last year. This year, seeing his compatriots in the same position encounter similar situations as him, he was really thinking in his heart.
But the Thunder team was lucky and the third young master was not injured. But Yao Ming could see that although these kids were healthy, they were not that strong inside.
After the game, no reporter could find Thunder players. They had already poured into the player passage and locked themselves in the locker room.
People say that if the Rockets hadn't forced the Lakers into a desperate situation last season, the Lakers would probably not be able to win the championship. It was precisely because they were forced into a dead end in the Western Conference semi-finals that the Purple and Gold Army exploded on the whole line. Not only did they pass the Rockets' level, but they also directly won the championship.
The Lakers, who are on the same trajectory this season, are still favored by people. Yao Ming only hopes that the Thunder and An Jie can hold on and complete the final game that determines the outcome.
"This is how the Lakers are. Although their lineup is strong on paper, they will be used to relax when they encounter teams whose lineup is not as good as theirs. Logically speaking, the Lakers are indeed a level higher than the Thunder, but the Lakers like to lower themselves to the level of others before going to fight against them. Although it is the playoffs and the two teams are fighting fiercely, this problem does exist in the Lakers. Take this game for example. When they continue to lead, the Lakers obviously lack momentum in the fourth quarter. It's a pity that the third young master did not seize the opportunity." Zhang Weiping of ccTV also interpreted the Lakers. Before the series started, no one was optimistic about Oklahoma's Youth Guards. 4-to-o and 4-to-yi are the most predicted scores.
But now, the Thunder are going to tie the seventh game against the Lakers. In addition to the Thunder themselves, there are many reasons why the Lakers are all in it.
After being strictly guarded, Kobe needs to connect with his teammates to achieve better efficiency. Bynum's defense can no longer resist high-level centers. Gasol's weak style of play will be the fatal weakness of the Lakers' inside... Playing this series with the Thunder almost exposed all the problems of the Lakers. Zen masters will not be invisible. If the Lakers can advance in the end, then this Lakers will definitely be reborn and their strength will increase greatly.
Because the most saddest yi level is always the one who can best hone people and the team. And the Lakers are undoubtedly at this level ahead of schedule.
The Lakers won the game, and the tiebreak battle was still held in Staples. Their morale was high and they hoped to pass the game.
At this time, the team that was forced into a dead corner became the Thunder. They did not have a home game anymore, and they could even say that they did not have a next game. Because three days later, it will be the final battle of the series.
.............
They lost and went home, won and advanced. In Staples, this is the only game. For fans, this is the extended series. Now they think that the young Thunder can only die generously.
In Los Angeles, the Lakers have begun pre-sale tickets for the Western Conference Finals, and all odds are also defeated by the Lakers. The victory in the sixth game has greatly increased the confidence of the Los Angeles, but invisibly, this has rekindled the fighting spirit of the Thunder.
Young people are easily angered. The more you don’t like me, the more I want to prove that I can. So the Thunder’s training ground began to be full of energy, so Anjie, a workaholic, began to train frantically, and when he was resting, he was too lazy to go to the locker room to change clothes just to continue sweating on the training ground later.
It is now May, and the temperature in Oklahoma is not low in summer. As long as there is someone in the training ground, the air conditioner will definitely not be turned off. But there are disadvantages to blowing air conditioners in summer, which can easily cause excessive cooling and cause colds.
After a lot of exercise, An Jie was sweating all over, and the blowing of the air conditioner made his body cool down very unnaturally.
The result of this was that An Jie felt dizzy after returning home, and he fell asleep after falling back. He woke up in the middle of the night and still did not improve. Instead, it seemed to be more serious. An Jie was not a doctor, but he knew that it was always necessary to measure his body temperature at this time. He went through the boxes and cabinets to take out the electronic thermometer that he had never used before, which was 4o.5 degrees. Yes, An Jie had a fever, but still had a high fever.
"4o.5 degrees!" Van Gundy jumped up from the bed and frightened his wife who was sleeping beside him. This bald guy changed his clothes while calling. He was so anxious that the woman was even more worried.
"What's wrong with this Jeff? It's almost time for the morning. Why are you in a hurry to go out?"
"Yan, he has a high fever! He deserves to die! He deserves to die! He deserves to die! He deserves to die! He deserves to die! He does!" Van Gundy was incoherent. They will fly to Los Angeles tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow they will play the final decisive battle with the Lakers. At this critical moment, Anger has a high fever. Van Gundy was both angry and unwilling to accept it. He did not dare to slander God, so he could only curse aimlessly.
The Lakers' opponent in the Western Conference semi-finals is the Thunder, but the opponent in the Western Conference semi-finals is not just the Lakers.
The contempt of the whole world, the psychological problem of young players' impermanence but enough to make the team collapse, of course, has now added that damn disease.
Van Gundy fainted in the locker room due to his surge in blood pressure, which scared everyone out of cold sweat. Now that I'm fine, Anjie never fools people, just plays really. Even when I'm sick, it's the same.
"It's 4yi degrees! The body temperature is still rising, so you must stay in the hospital for observation!" The doctor at St. Mary's Hospital in Oklahoma knows who the patient is in front of him, and what his diagnosis means to the Thunder and this city. But first, he has to be a doctor, followed by a fan. He also hopes that Anger can play on the court and blow up the Lakers' butt, but this is impossible.
"Okay, stay until noon tomorrow. You try your best to cool me down. I have to go to Los Angeles tomorrow, and there is no need to discuss it." An Jie knew that the doctor was for his own good, but he couldn't afford to delay the most critical battle for the seventh game, and there is no reason to be absent.
"Although fever is a very common disease, the cause of the disease is unknown and there is a high fever, how can I let you go out? When you leave the hospital, you are shocked or damaged other nerves or organs, who can bear this responsibility!" The doctor took over human life, so they would rather make a big fuss than make mistakes in their own hands.
"Okay, it's noon tomorrow. I have to go to Los Angeles. Whether the temperature returns to normal or not, I will go." An Jie doesn't care about so much now. Isn't it just a burn? Who hasn't burned?
If it is the regular season, Van Gundy will definitely let Anjie have a good rest, and even if he misses the game, he will do whatever he wants.
But today, he couldn't make a decision. It was an indisputable fact that he needed Anjie to attack the Thunder. But similarly, Van Gundy was also a coach who was very concerned about his health.
"Boss, I'm going. If you don't let me go, I will regret it in my life." Anjie stared at Van Gundy with a firm look on his face. In fact, it was already very difficult for him to hold on.
"Let's talk about it tomorrow. You will cooperate with the treatment in the hospital tonight. Tomorrow, your body temperature should go down." Van Gundy frowned. This is the best Yi hospital in Oklahoma. Treating fever is definitely not a problem.
Van Gundy and Angel stayed up all night, but they were all constantly comforting themselves, it was just a small burn.
The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. Van Gundy put down the team's training at nine o'clock the next morning and came to the hospital. The doctor said that Anjie's body temperature did drop, but it was still as high as 39.7, and it was still high in fever and still burned.
"I suggest that he stay in the hospital for observation." The doctor answered firmly. For him, the patient's health is the first priority.
"You are also an Oklahoman. You know what tomorrow's game means to us and the city." Of course, Van Gundy wanted to take Angel away. He just wanted to seek psychological comfort from the doctor. As long as the doctor lets go, Van Gundy will take Angel on the plane without hesitation.
"Actually, I am the Cleveland coach, and of course Oklahoma is my second hometown. I said that I also hope An can play and hope the Thunder can advance. But An's body temperature is very unstable. If you insist on taking him away, ask your team doctor to prepare the medicine, whether it is oral or injectable, you must prepare it." The doctor knew that he could not beat Van Gundy, so he finally gave in.
"Thank you, the doctor! People in the whole city of Oklahoma will thank you!" Van Gundy rushed out of the office with the doctor's advice. There is still a day left today, I hope Anjie can get better under the influence of the medicine.
An Jie didn't know how he got to the airport. He was dizzy and had a severe headache throughout the whole process. He took two antipyretic drugs and seemed to have improved a little, but it only lasted for a while.
Everyone couldn't help but worry when they saw An Jie's condition. This guy is not even able to walk steadily now, let alone play games.
However, Anjie responded to everyone's words: It's okay.
Even if An Jie turns into mud on the plane, he will still keep telling his teammates that he is fine.
"Is Ann really okay?" Westbrook and Durant were quietly talking.
"It must be fine. After being a teammate for two years, have you ever seen Ansheng sick? He can take advantage of this little difficulty." Durant didn't know if he was full of confidence in Anjie or was comforting himself.
The plane flew for an afternoon, but An Jie fell asleep all afternoon. He felt that only by closing his eyes could he feel more comfortable.
During the adaptive training in the evening, everyone else was running tactics on the field, but An Jieyi was the only one who was injecting in the hospital. Los Angeles was filled with reporters everywhere, especially now that it was the critical tiebreak stage, there were much more reporters squatting everywhere than usual.
When they saw An Jie walking into the hospital, the reporters who worked hard to sit in the room all their eyes shone. They could not rush into the ward for an interview without authorization, but secret investigations and speculations were the best things for these guys?
Unknown, An Jie has become the darling of major newspaper sports sectors the next day. Tonight, I don’t know how many editors will work overtime to rush the manuscripts just to make this explosive presentation public.
At this critical moment, the Thunder's core center came to the hospital, which was definitely eye-catching.
An Jie had a split headache and he didn't sleep well at night. He was a little sleepy just now, but it was already dawn.
The first thing after getting up, An Jie couldn't wait to take his body temperature at 38.8 degrees. Although it was still burning, An Jie was very happy. At least his body temperature was indeed falling, and maybe he would be cured by night!
Anjie was happy in the hospital, and the fans in Los Angeles were even more happy. Today, they bought the newspaper and found that the preview of the two teams in the sports sector did not account for the main page. The content that occupied the main page was the content that Anjie was sick and went to the hospital.
"Acute enteritis, An or absent the tiebreak battle!"
"On the night of destiny, the Thunder's core center will be out of the game!?"
"It's almost impossible for An to play for 4 degrees."
Various titles convey a message. The three most critical fulcrum points of the Thunder are likely to be unable to play! Can fans in Los Angeles be unhappy when they hear this news?
Regardless of An Jie's body temperature, the tiebreak battle has entered the countdown stage in hours. Even if An Jie can play, how much can he play on the court with such a body?
Chapter completed!
