On the day the news broke, it didn't cause much of a stir, except for the various people in the media circle, who expressed their emotions in various ways and thought about the current media environment. The public's response to this news is very "official".

Phil Gersner, the uncrowned king of Philadelphia's sports media scene and a veteran reporter who followed the Philadelphia 76ers for many years, was diagnosed with cancer.

The details of the treatment have not been released in detail, but one thing is clear.

It is not a benign tumor or other disease that can be completely cured by surgery or treatment.

The uncrowned king of Philadelphia has few days to come.

"It should be able to last until the end of the season, and the doctor said that maybe it can last until the end of the year or next year. But the disease develops and changes quickly, and everything is difficult to say. ”

Holding his mobile phone and making a call, listening to the words on the other end of the phone, Chen Mu was stunned. Then he glanced at Iverson in front of him, then at his teammates around him, took his phone off his ears, and turned it on.

"If he found out, he seems to have been aware of it himself and went for an examination, but he has an agreement with a private doctor, and no one else knows about it, not even his family."

The person on the other end of the phone was a new reporter who had basically taken over the position of Jasner's reporter. This is full of energy, friendly to people, and a lot of chatter, but when it comes to the matter of Jackner today, it is a little hesitant.

Maybe they won't be able to accept it.

Chen Mu can only think so.

"We don't know now what caused the sudden deterioration of Mr. Jesner's condition. But...... It may have something to do with some recent restructuring of the newspaper, but this is just speculation. It is also possible that the disease has evolved to this point, and it has reached the point where it must erupt. ”

The little reporter continued: "Others, there is no special situation, the corresponding treatment, all that can be used. The Daily News, for its part, has also made every effort to arrange the best treatment plan for him that we can get. ”

"Is there any chance of recovery......?"

Although he had already received the answer before, Chen Mu still wanted to ask again.

"In medicine, I can't say anything well, and there is never a way to give a definite number. Judging from the current situation, it can only be said that ...... It's basically zero. ”

The young reporter's answer was quite decent.

"Is it physically enough to eat, if we go and see?"

Iverson himself didn't know why, but he wanted to see Jackner.

Isn't this a sworn enemy who has hacked himself for many years? Isn't he disdainful of him and unhappy, doesn't he hate himself to the bone and must rely on his popularity to make a living?

It is clear that you should clap your hands and praise the things, why are you panicking in your heart?

“…… Forget it. ”

The little reporter's answer was also direct, and he groaned for a while: "His physical condition is not too good, to be honest, a few people can still afford to go to see him." It is not impossible to sit up and eat and chat between treatments. ”

"But he can't get too excited, the doctor seems to say, if you are emotional, you will secrete something in your body, and then that substance will trigger his tumor, in short, it is not a good thing. Especially negative emotions are even more important, from his current position, you ...... Maybe the last person he wants to see at this moment! ”

Oh, yes.

After the little reporter finished speaking, he babbled about some of the situations he knew, and the content did not change much, in short: the situation is quite bad, and something may happen at any time. But in terms of symptoms, it is quite stable, and the details and so on, the little reporter himself can't say clearly.

But what he said was right, Chen Mu and Iverson knew it very well.

For the current Gersner, the last thing he wants to see is probably the two of them.

Since the Iverson era, Gersner, who was originally the most die-hard fan of the Philadelphia 76ers, has been unaccustomed to Iverson's various behaviors because of his old-school views and colored glasses.

As he grew older, Gersner became more and more stubborn and dissatisfied, and became disdainful and black. Tirelessly hacked Iverson for many years, until Iverson left, and Gersener thought he could rest his mind a little.

As a result, Chen Mu came.

Chen Mu's temperament is actually different from Iverson. Iverson's unruliness from the streets is difficult to see in Chen Mu. The impression that Chen Mu brings to everyone is more related to the East: humble, polite, decent, and forbearing.

But Jesner has been immersed in the media circle all his life, who has not seen it, what mask has not been lifted? From Chen Mu, others saw the love of basketball and the persistence of a big man in the East for basketball. What Gersner saw from Chen Mu was full of the stubbornness that he hated the most, called "not believing in evil".

Not believing in evil is actually a quite suitable temperament for Philadelphia, an immortal city and a city of freedom. But Gersner just doesn't like it, the old reporter has a high degree of confidence in his understanding of basketball. How many years of reporting experience have made his understanding of basketball enter a strange circle set by himself.

Be rational and calm, fight when you should fight, give up when you should give up, and give up when you should choose a way out, just give me a few steps to retreat!

But Chen Mu is biased.

Iverson's favorite trait for Jackner was this unbelief in evil. Jeffsner believes that his expectations for the team and his requirements for the stars are all for the good of the team, for the good of the city, and for the 76ers to win the championship in the most "correct" way again.

But Iverson doesn't do that, as a small defender, but he doesn't believe in evil and prefers to rush inside. As the engine of the team's attack, but he doesn't believe in evil and thinks of attacking first at all times. As the leader of the team and the god of war, he can clearly control the ball more "reasonably", but those who do not believe in evil must break out of their own way.

What Jeffsner hates is not Iverson's heroism, which is admired by tens of millions of people, but that he seems to have become "evil" in Iverson's eyes.

Gersner didn't know if he was evil or not, but he felt no, and he stubbornly thought it wasn't.

All I want to say is for the good of the team!

After that, Iverson left, and Chen Mu appeared. When Jasner saw Chen Mu for the first time, he smelled that dangerous aura.

Do not believe in evil.

You say I have no potential to dig into, nothing but my body.

Then I'll show you an invincible rebounding skill.

You say I'm a draft loser, an unlucky guy that no one wants, and I can't contribute anything except rebounding.

Then I worked hard to make a shot, and on top of the great Duncan, I scored the highest score of my career.

You say that I can only shoot from the middle, but as a power forward, I don't have the ability to play with my back alone, and I don't have a layered help for the team's offense.

Then I started to practice with strength, sculpted my back body technique little by little, and gradually cultivated myself into the most terrifying back demon in the world.

You say I can't defend, I can't help the team on the defensive end except for rebounding.

Then I'll start with interior defense, start with blocks, steals, footwork, and bit by bit basics, and gradually extend to outside defense, so that I can gradually find the feeling of a defensive master. Let you gradually feel my deterrent power on the defensive end of the court.

You say I can't hold the ball, and if I take the ball and dribble it more than three times, the ball will fall.

Then I'll use incredible effort to practice incredible dribbling skills to surprise you.

So he did not believe in evil.

Under Chen Mu's sunny and cheerful appearance, what is hidden is such a disbelief in evil.

Jesner knew that.

He ...... It's never possible to come to the stadium to watch a game again?? ”

There was no holiday between Iguodala and Gersner, but as a good brother of Iverson and Chen Mu, this old reporter's blackness to his brothers all the way still made Iguodala feel unhappy.

But now, after learning the news, Iguodala has a mental storm in his heart.

In the midst of the storm, countless images flickered and flew by, pieces of debris flew away, and Iguodala stood in the eye of the storm, and suddenly his heart calmed down.

Between us and Gersner, we ...... Is there really any great hatred?

While Iguodala was thinking about this question, Chen Mu and Iverson were also thinking about the same question.

Was Gersner really heinous? Is it really a wicked person?

No.

He just said what he wanted to say, but unfortunately, Chen Mu and Iverson were not happy to listen to these words.

Then again, what about ourselves?

When we ourselves face the media, when we face our opponents, and when we face the public, do we consider the feelings of others in what we say?

I stepped up on the stage, faced countless mics, and said I'm going to go in, I'm going to win the scoring title, I'm going to win the MVP.

Am I not saying what is in my heart?

And what I said also made Gersner feel uncomfortable.

Essentially, we do the same.

Do we and Gersner really need to be at odds?

"The current physical condition may not be possible. Because the venue was so noisy, his body couldn't withstand the mood swings now. ”

The little reporter said in a deep voice: "It's hard to say in the future, if the condition is a little more stable, maybe you can watch a game." ”

"Okay, we got it, thank you."

Hung up the phone, and everyone's mood was heavy.

The storm of hearts is constantly reverberating in everyone's minds.

Although this storm was not a terrible haze, it had been hovering not far above everyone's heads.

The game continued, Philadelphia was still winning most of the time, and Chen Mu's data was quite stable. Occasional losses are due to a variety of reasons.

Desner's matter was put aside by everyone for the time being, and no one mentioned it again.

The time came to April 16, 2010.

The NBA playoffs are about to begin. (To be continued.) )
