Chapter 785 It's been like that for a long time
The 76ers held the match point in their hands. At the press conference that night, authoritative media from all over the world flooded into the media visiting room of the 76ers.
They hope to send greetings to the 76ers who are about to reach the top in the press conference.
However, they were disappointed.
Because, since the four games in the finals, Wei Xia, who averaged 45.2 points, 8.2 rebounds and 7 assists per game, has not appeared in the press conference.
The reporter was naturally dissatisfied, and Wei Xia scored the second highest score in a single game in the finals.
Moreover, it is mixed with comprehensive data of quasi-triple pairs.
If fans want to know what dominance is and let them watch this game, Wei Xia used his talent and high intensity on both offense and defense to dominate the entire game.
Because Wei Xia was absent, the first question the reporter asked Jay Wright was: "Coach Wright, where has Wish been?"
Wright replied calmly: "Wish has something to do temporarily and has to leave. Please forgive me."
The media is definitely not unfamiliar with others. They know the weight of this competition tonight, the weight of Wei Xia's data, and even more, if it weren't for something urgent, he wouldn't have missed tonight's press conference.
A reporter asked: "Is he still in San Antonio?"
Wright naturally couldn't tell the truth: "This is his privacy."
There is no Wish press conference, just like the third part of "Fast and Furious", what else is there to watch without Paul Walker and that bald outfit?
The media had to ask simple questions.
Even though Wish was not present, the media still asked a lot about him.
For example, what does it feel like to see Wish score 58 points with your own eyes?
"It feels like losing 58 points in a game." Rajon Rondo's answer was the most interesting.
Then, that's it.
Wei Xia returned to the hotel, but in fact, he could go to the press conference.
But he was not sure whether his mood was normal now, so he informed Wright of the situation, and Wright also thought he should have a good rest now.
Wei Xia wanted to arrive in Boston immediately, but it was too late. There were no flights anymore, so she had to wait until tomorrow.
He wanted to call the hospital, but who did he call?
He hopes that the person who answers the phone will not answer the phone again.
He stayed in the hotel room, locked the door, and did not respond if someone knocked on it, so everyone would think he was not in the room.
Wei Xia took a shower, changed into pajamas, and sat on the bed.
The phone kept shaking, and many people sent text messages to congratulate him on winning the third game of the finals. It can be said that the championship is already their possession.
He doesn't want to look at his phone or listen to those people's congratulations.
But he was worried that his family's text message was not received in time, so he thought about it and picked up his phone.
His eyes seemed to have a blocking function, allowing him to ignore what he didn't want to see.
He didn't know what he was looking for, and he felt so upset that the joy of victory had disappeared, but the bad news of his grandfather's death and the damage caused by the oncoming heavy blow did not break him down.
Those injuries turn into a slowly exploding pain.
Wei Xia flipped through the text message a few days ago and he stopped.
He found the last text message his grandfather sent him.
He suddenly turned off his cell phone, got into the bed, and then began to think back, and every bit of him and his grandfather.
Wei Xia, who can always fall asleep easily, has suffered from insomnia tonight.
He tossed and turned in bed and didn't fall asleep until three in the morning.
Three hours later, the alarm clock woke him up.
The moment the alarm clock vibrated, Wei Xia woke up immediately.
For the first time in fifteen years, he has not entered the old time because he only had a shallow sleep. It is the kind of shallow sleep that can feel the changes in the surrounding environment and the slight sounds.
His consciousness has always been there.
He got up at six o'clock and had his luggage packed last night. He was going to take the earliest flight today to Boston.
He inserted the room card into the door and quietly left with his luggage.
Only Wright in the team knows where he is going, and Wright will explain it to his teammates at that time.
Wei Xia did not disturb anyone. Maybe he was too easy-going, and the hotel staff did not impress him. He left with his luggage in person, but no one noticed the abnormality.
After walking out of the hotel, Wei Xia brought a mask and called a taxi to the airport.
Wei Xia arrived at the airport 90 minutes in advance, and she was still empty.
Elaine called to ask about his itinerary, and he told the truth.
"Don't be so anxious, we're all here," Elaine said.
“I have nothing to do in San Antonio,” Weisha said, “and…”
"What?"
"nothing."
Moreover, if he stays here for a second more, he will feel more guilty.
From childhood to adulthood, he was the child closest to grandpa. But in grandpa's last years, they only used phone calls at most.
Even in the last few days of Grandpa, they didn't speak.
This heavy pain of not being with you and having the last journey with your grandfather made Wei Xia unable to stay in the Holy City for one more second.
But when he arrived at the airport and walked through all the procedures, he still had to wait 60 minutes before he took off.
Then, spend five hours of flight time in the air.
On the way to Boston, the bad sleep quality of last night began to backfire. The fatigue of a quasi-triple double-double score of 58 points in a final came twice. His lost body and depressed will could no longer resist his instinct.
He fell asleep.
This day of the old time seemed to be particularly fast.
A day later, he came to the arena and headed to Havlicek's battle of thieves without hesitation.
Instead of playing the game, he floated in Boston Gardens as a spectator.
He didn't care about the game, he just wanted to find his grandfather's traces.
Unfortunately, it seems that everyone is similar. He was confused and couldn't find it.
He had to wait until the last moment of the game, Haflicecek intercepted the ball, Sam Jones dribbled the ball, and passed the ball again - when Haflicecek threw the ball into the basket before the final whistle sounded, the Celtics won, and the unattended basketball bounced from the front of the basket to the midfield.
Wei Xia finally saw his grandfather. He was so young and energetic at that time. He had no idea how much pain Boston, a white supreme city, would bring him. He happily "stole" the ball and completed the most talked about in his 49 years of life.
Afterwards, Wei Xia woke up.
When the plane arrived at the station, he passed the security check, walked out of the airport, called a taxi, and went to Massachusetts General Hospital.
On the way to the hospital, he began to recall what happened in the past.
Before Wei Xia, the Wayne family was not a sports family. Wayne started the tradition of sports. It was not until Wei Xia that someone really went from paying attention to sports to engaging in sports. The beginning of all this was Wayne.
Wei Xia even felt that the reason why he was able to enter the old days was related to his grandfather.
Grandpa gave him basketball, father enlightened him on basketball, and then he learned a lot from them.
No matter how big the blow he encountered, grandpa could inspire him. He was humorous and optimistic.
In Wei Xia's eyes, he always exudes a sharp edge like light.
At first, Wei Xia didn't understand why. Later, when he learned about the United States in the 1960s and 1970s from the perspective of Haflicecke, he realized how courage and how positive and optimistic people like Wayne needed to stick to principles and continue to fight against reality.
Only such a person can persevere.
Only such people can make you happy at any time.
Even today's Wei Xia, who has become a superstar, will still come to his grandfather and listen to his teachings when he feels confused about the future.
But from then on, no one will give him a message when he is frustrated.
"Sir, we're here." The driver suddenly said.
Wei Xia's thoughts returned to reality.
He paid and entered Massachusetts General Hospital with his luggage.
He has been here several times and he knows where his grandfather's ward is.
He met all the family, said hello to them, and then walked in, grandpa was lying there and would not wake up again.
Wei Xia thought he would collapse, but he didn't.
Wei Xia thought his tears would burst here, but she didn't.
Chapter completed!
