After returning to the 49ers' base medical room in San Francisco, Lu Ke fell into a long and boring examination process. Sometimes he was nervous, sometimes scared, sometimes confused and sometimes confused. These complicated emotions were entangled bit by bit like this. Unexplained thoughts began to surge violently, and finally the entire brain was completely emptied, leaving only a blank, like a blank sheet of paper.
Lu Ke was lying on a reddish-brown leather mattress specially used for examination. Five or six experts from the medical team gathered around him, and they were talking loudly to express their opinions.
Some people say that this is a major injury that may lead to season reimbursement; some say that it is just a minor sprain; some say that further MRI examinations (MRI) are still needed to determine the details; others say that Lu Ke no longer feels pain. Then there is no need to make a fuss; then someone refuted what to do if there are hidden dangers of injury?
Everyone was holding their own opinions and arguing with each other anxiously. Lu Ke suddenly couldn't hold it back and burst into laughter. The laughter interrupted everyone's discussion and they all turned around. Then they realized that the person involved was... Beside them - they were also so anxious that they actually forgot to avoid Lu Ke.
The San Francisco 49ers have finally returned to the top after eighteen years, and finally found a cornerstone quarterback. The contract signing this offseason was undoubtedly a shining moment, but now they have been caught off guard by changes, and everyone is in a hurry. It may very well be a turning point that affects the entire season and even future plans.
Everyone is a little out of control.
"Bambi...?" Walter also realized their gaffe, and his mood froze. He couldn't help but stutter when he spoke. He just called Lu Ke's name, and the rest of the words were stuck in his throat.
Lu Ke looked at the ceiling above his head indifferently, counting the unknown lines boredly, "It's okay, I just suddenly felt that I was like a dead fish on the chopping board, waiting to be disemboweled. This scene is really real. It’s just a little funny.”
Dead fish.
No one in the entire medical room could laugh.
Lu Ke recalled the scene when Ted Jean was injured. Jean was lying helplessly on the stretcher, holding his helmet and crying helplessly. In the end, he cried bitterly, but was helpless. In the face of the injury, they all He is weak; but Gene has not surrendered, and he will not surrender.
This was Lu Ke's first real injury since he was a child. The previous bruises and sprains were just minor injuries. He had never really faced an injury until now. But he also knew that it was far from the most difficult moment. Not to mention desperate enough to give up, it was not even considered to be a hard struggle.
This was just water, how could he be afraid?
Lu Ke turned his head and looked at Walter, "Tell me honestly, what is going on now?" Walter was still hesitant, but Lu Ke showed a big smile, "What, are you worried that I won't be able to bear the result? Or are you worried? Trent can't bear the consequences? It shouldn't be that bad."
Lu Ke's cheerfulness and straightforwardness finally eased the dull atmosphere in the medical room a little, and Walter couldn't help but chuckled, "No, no, no, of course it's not that serious."
Walter carefully considered his words, "Now it is tentatively concluded that it should be a knee injury. Now that you can't feel any obvious pain, this means that there shouldn't be a big problem; but..."
Walter paused for a moment, "But when you were just injured, you could feel deep pain, which affected your walking state. We suspect that there may be slight damage to the ligaments, but this cannot be judged through ordinary examination. We still need to Filming for in-depth examination. The safest option is to miss the game. We are now going to the hospital to further determine the situation."
To put it simply, because Lu Ke just signed a huge contract during the offseason, his value to the team cannot be easily estimated. They must be more careful, more cautious, and more cautious. Before further confirming that they were safe and sound, they did not dare to act rashly, for fear of accidentally hurting the team's golden knot.
To be on the safe side, caution comes first.
ligament.
As an athlete, Lu Ke naturally knows how sensitive and fragile this part is. Any related minor injuries must be treated with caution. Lu Ke couldn't help but frowned, "But I don't feel pain now, and I can walk freely. Are you sure?" He still didn't have much sense of reality.
"There is no problem with normal walking, but it does not mean that intense exercise is possible." Walter still maintained his caution.
"But..." Lu Ke wanted to defend himself, but a knock on the door suddenly interrupted their conversation, and then the door to the medical room was pushed open, "How is it? What now?" What's the situation?" Trent Balk's anxious voice rang out, and the surging air waves rolled into the room from outside like a tornado, making people clearly feel his anxiety and nervousness.
Walter opened his mouth, but didn’t know how to express it.
Trent understood immediately, quickly came to Lu Ke's side, and briefly comforted Lu Ke - "It must be fine", "Don't worry", "You can play soon" and so on, and then did not give Lu Ke an answer. At about the same time, he led all the medical staff out of the room with a huff, coming and going in a hurry. Before he had time to pay close attention, there was only one caddy, Thomas Robinson, left in the room to accompany Lu Ke.
Thomas grabbed Lu Ke's helmet in his hand and stood there in embarrassment and restraint. He shouldn't have been here in the first place, but because Lu Ke's helmet was forgotten beside him, he trotted all the way to bring it over, but didn't Thinking of the people coming and going in the medical room, no one took care of him at all, and he didn't dare to disturb everyone's work, so he had to stand obediently in the corner and try not to become a stumbling block.
In the end, Thomas was left alone.
Now that he and Lu Ke were alone in the infirmary, Thomas became more and more nervous. He tried his best to avoid Lu Ke's eyes, fearing that his nervousness would be noticed, but he still looked at each other, "...do you need some water?" He asked dryly, and then explained hastily, "Helmet, I'm here to give you a helmet."
"Thank you." Lu Ke showed a polite smile, "Can you please pour me a glass of water? Thank you."
"Of course. Of course!" Thomas quickly started busy, his whole person seemed extremely enthusiastic.
…
At this time, Trent was facing the arguing medical team in front of him and had a headache.
This is the opening game of the 2013 season, San Francisco's first title defense in 18 years. Everyone on the team is looking forward to defeating the powerful Green Bay Packers to get off to a good start and continue their cross-season winning streak; however, Now we encountered a sudden accident, and the situation suddenly became critical.
As the team manager, Trent also understands football and is not a pure businessman. He can also see that the first two waves of the team's offense were not very good, and they relied entirely on Lu Ke to support them; if Lu Ke is absent... ...Trent couldn't help but shuddered and couldn't even think about it.
However, if Lu Ke's injury worsens in order to win the opening game, it will be more than worth the loss. What they need is to defend the title, not just a good start in the opening game. They must take a longer-term view and continue to win. There is still a long season ahead.
But... thinking of the fans' eager eyes, Trent couldn't help but hesitate again.
Reason told him that he should let Lu Ke go to the hospital; emotion told him that maybe Lu Ke's injury was not that serious. His current thinking is not very objective, and he needs to make himself objective.
"Walter, objectively speaking, how was the situation when you just examined Bambi?" Trent decided to force himself to calm down and think about the whole situation.
Walter took a deep breath and said, "Objectively speaking, Bambi is not in any special condition right now. I won't say that he is unscathed, but the situation that he was worried about during the inspection on the side of the court did not appear. We just took X-rays and confirmed this I think he really doesn’t feel any pain now; but to be on the safe side, I still recommend that Bambi go to the hospital to take an MRI for further examination.”
…
Lu Ke was still lying quietly, all the messy thoughts in his mind surged up, and then he inexplicably recalled the suspected injury in his rookie season. Because he was worried that he would lose his starting position, he gritted his teeth and played hard, only to be Lech noticed it and scolded him severely. Injuries are definitely not a trivial matter. For the sake of his career, he should take more care of himself.
Thinking of this, Lu Ke sighed lightly.
In fact, he still wants to make a comeback, stand beside his teammates, and fight alongside everyone; what's more, facing such a strong team as the Green Bay Packers, he definitely doesn't want to miss such a game. The stronger the team, the greater the challenge, and the greater the challenge, the more excited he becomes. He also hopes to stand on the court and continue to complete the game.
He craves confrontation and battle.
But...if the doctor advises him to undergo an examination, then he will still listen to the professional advice and give up the game. Although I am still very reluctant in my heart, I still have to take a longer view.
"...What? Isn't it? Why is it so sudden? Is it true or false? You didn't hear wrong, right?"
"I also doubted my ears, but Fox News had just broadcast it. During the intermission, when I changed the TV channel, I saw Fox News inserting emergency news, saying that Ryan had passed away, the same Ryan from the Golden Ocean. , he has come to Candlestick Stadium many times to watch games, hasn’t he? I won’t admit it. Everything happened so suddenly, no one expected it..."
Low voices of discussion came from outside the door of the medical room. Although the sound was not loud, it continued to echo in the long space of the corridor. The layers of echoes made the sound clearer, but Lu Ke still doubted this. Ears: Wait, who? Who are they talking about?
