Chapter 943: I'm going to play
"I, I have to play. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
After Chen Mu's words were repeated once, the entire ward was quiet.
Chen Zhensheng, Chen's mother, Su Yin, Su Boss, Stefansky, Iverson, Carlisle.
Everyone present didn't know what to say.
This situation ...... Play?
"Chen, do you know what your body temperature is?"
Stefansky couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward.
"I know, it's 38.5 degrees now, and for adults, it's a high fever, right?"
Chen Mu nodded, his eyes were still staring at the sheets under him, and he stretched out his finger and pointed to the medical equipment on the side: "There is a mark on it, so I saw it as soon as I woke up." ā
"Yes, 38.5 degrees."
Stefansky nodded and said, "So do you know what the consequences will be after you play at this temperature?" ā
"I know."
Chen Mu replied: "Exercise will increase the heart rate, and the body temperature will also rise to a certain extent. If I play, my fever will deepen, and my temperature may reach 39 degrees...... So what? ā
"Son, the doctor just said that at this time, your body temperature will be relatively lower, and it will be lower in the morning."
Chen Zhensheng frowned and said, "But from noon, your body temperature will rise again." By the time of the evening race, you may not need to exercise, and it will reach about 39 degrees. ā
"I know, so what?"
Chen Mu still didn't look up.
"Son, the game is very important, we all know that you love basketball, you love the game, but ...... But the body is more important! ā
Chen's mother's tears were almost unstoppable.
"Yes, the body is more important, I know that very well. If there's one thing I learned about anything after coming to the U.S., it's this. ā
Chen Mu replied: "The body is the most important, whether it is for athletes or ordinary people, the body comes first. ā
"So!"
Boss Su's loud voice made people worry about the patients in the nearby wards. Fortunately, the ward where Chen Mu stayed was high-end enough, and the sound insulation effect was quite good. Otherwise, Boss Su would have yelled out in the middle of the night, and the nearby patients would be woken up.
"So you can't play, you have to take care of your body first! I'm not a professional, but I'm a veteran fan and I know the psychology of the fans. At first, people may scold you and complain about you, saying that you don't play when you are sick, that you are cowardly or something. But that doesn't matter at all, a little time has passed, everyone knows how sick you are now, and they will definitely forgive you, I know this very well! ā
'I know, I know it's not important, for the fans.
Chen Mu finally turned his head slightly and looked at Boss Su with one eye: "But for me, this is very important." ā
āā¦ā¦ Don't make a fuss, Chen! ā
Stefansky walked directly in front of Chen Mu, bent down to look at Chen Mu, and said with a serious face: "You are an individual, but you signed a contract with the team, you are the wealth of the team!" I, as the team manager, don't allow you to take this risk! ā
"Then I hope you can understand me."
There was a weak smile on the corner of Chen Mu's mouth: "Manager, please allow me to play." ā
"This ......!"
It was useless to persuade a few people, especially Stefansky, who couldn't understand Chen Mu's thoughts with his businessman thinking.
Stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, this is what you Chinese say! Why just can't you listen?
"Son, you know what? When you were first taken to the hospital, your temperature was 39.4 degrees. The doctor said that this disease is not a big problem, acute, and as long as it is handled properly, there will be no sequelae. But he also said that it will take at least half a month to recover, and during this time you must not participate in competitions, or even strenuous exercise! ā
Chen Zhensheng's concern for the child's body has surpassed everything, and the finals and championships are not as important as Chen Mu's body at this time!
"Dad, it's like you said."
Chen Mu raised his head, looked at Chen Zhensheng and said, "The doctor only said that there will be no sequelae of this disease, but he didn't say that if I play, I will definitely leave sequelae!" ā
"You see, I don't play, it's not that I don't believe Allen and them, but I believe in the Lakers too much, and I know that the Lakers will definitely make a fuss from the inside. Originally, their strongest point was Kobe Bryant and the three high inside, and now the inside line is less of my containment, and the three highs will destroy the Philadelphia basket. ā
"So as long as I play, even if I can't do anything, just stand there and gasp, they will be somewhat afraid of me, and they will not dare to make a fuss on the inside easily. I think the coach is also very aware of Phil Jackson's character, and that old fox will definitely think that my weakness is fake, and he will definitely not take it lightly. ā
Chen Mu stretched out his finger and pointed at Carlisle and continued: "After all, Jordan's flu battle at that time was completed under Phil Jackson. He knows very well how much a superstar's ability can affect the game. So he's going to target me, and as long as he continues to target me, I've achieved my purpose of playing! ā
"Brother Mu......!"
Su Yin didn't listen to what Chen Mu said before at all, his mind was full of the fact that Chen Mu was going to play with illness, and his eyes were already full of tears, and he almost rushed out.
"Yin'er, I really don't have to worry, I know my own physical condition. In fact, I don't need you to say that I know that even if I play, I'm afraid I won't be able to contribute much. But as soon as I'm on the pitch, from the fans to my team-mates, the mood is different. We will have the 'fighting spirit', and with the 'fighting spirit', we will have the 'possibility' of winning, right? ā
Chen Mu stretched out his hand and gently stroked Xiao Nizi's hair, his face full of smiles.
"But ......"
"So don't say any more, I'm going to play."
Chen Mu didn't let Su Yin continue, but waved his hand to interrupt, looking up at everyone, his eyes were full of flames.
"I'm going to play, this kind of game, I have to play......!"
"Rick ......!"
Stefansky was really out of options, looked back at Carlisle, and asked for help: "This kid wants to win and wants to go crazy, you can persuade him quickly!" ā
"Coach, I'm going to play."
Chen Mu was not afraid at all, and directly met Carlisle's gaze.
"Rick!"
With Stefansky on the side, he almost had direct mind manipulation to make Carlisle say what he wanted him to say.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Carlisle's body, as if thousands of light chasing lights were coming, which made Carlisle a little uncomfortable.
Stefansky's thinking is very correct, deciding whether Chen Mu can play or not, and others, including the team doctor, can only provide advice. The final decision is still on Carlisle.
To put it mildly, even if Chen Mu's legs are broken, he can only crawl forward on the field. As long as Carlisle waved his hand, the list was reported to the league, saying that Chen Mu was the starter, then Chen Mu must start.
On the contrary, even if Chen Mu is in good health now, without the slightest problem, he can kill a cow with one punch. If Carlisle said that Chen Mu couldn't get on, then he just couldn't go.
This is the duty of the coach and the greatest power of the coach.
Whether Chen Mu can play or not is just in Carlisle's thoughts.
"Chen ......"
After a long silence, Carlisle closed his eyes and let out a long breath, then opened them.
'I can understand your mood and your desire to contribute to the team. If I were you, I would also strongly ask to be on the field, because this is the duty of an athlete and the work ethic that we should follow from the moment we enter this industry. ā
Carlisle looked at Chen Mu, and the expression on his face couldn't tell what emotions he wanted to express.
"I also know that you are right, even if you play and exercise, at most your condition will worsen and your recovery time will be longer. The doctor made it very clear that there will be no danger to life, as long as you pay attention to the physical cooling of the body and control the time, even if you are tired and lying on the field, you will be healed in the end. ā
"But it's no joke."
With that, Carlisle walked up to Chen Mu's side, sat on the side of Chen Mu's bedside, and continued: "Although your situation is not a major hidden danger that endangers your career, we have learned enough lessons from similar situations. ā
"Remember pennies around 1995? If he hadn't played behind closed doors with the Magic and then with the Suns, but had rested and recovered, maybe he would still be active in the league and continue to contribute his light and heat. ā
"Remember Maddie in early 2000? If he can recover better during the Magic and Rockets periods, he can wait until his injuries heal before playing. Now, he has no problem contributing more than 60 exciting games a year. ā
"A more recent example, remember Yao? Remember that once upon a time, he was the league's No. 1 interior killer, and O'Neal and Howard couldn't do anything about him? How did he get injured after that? Why did the injury not heal for a long time, continuous stress fractures, until now facing retirement? Aren't these lessons enough? Shouldn't we think about it? ā
After talking about these living and bloody examples, Carlisle said, "Don't I want you to play?" As a coach, don't I know how important you are? I know how important you are and how much difference you can make when you play. ā
"But I can't let you take that risk!"
"1990-1991 season."
Before everyone could speak and agree with Carlisle's words, Chen Mu took the lead in speaking.
"First round of the Eastern Conference playoffs, Celtics vs. Pacers, Game 5."
Chen Mu's words made people a little confused.
Only Carlisle's expression changed, as if he remembered something.
In the second quarter, Larry Bird broke his face and back and was lifted off the court unable to move. You remember what he did in the third verse. ā
Chen Mu looked at Carlisle, his eyes like torches.
"If I'm not mistaken, in the footage of that game, you, as a former Celtics player, were watching from the sidelines."
After saying this, Chen Mu no longer continued to describe, but sat up straight, looked at Carlisle seriously, and said:
"Coach, I'm going to play...... (To be continued.) )
