Michael Crabtree, Lu Ke, Patrick Willis, Vernon Davis, Eric Reed, Mike Rupatti, Joe Stanley, Ian Williams, Nawo Roy Bowman, Mario Manningham, Justin Smith, Aldon Smith...and then Ted Ginn...
This season, the San Francisco 49ers have experienced too many turmoils and ups and downs. They stumbled all the way to the end of the regular season and finally entered the playoffs. However, they themselves were exhausted and bruised. No one knew what would happen next. How long can the journey last?
Oh, and Ryan Baldwin.
If Gene and Willis miss the playoff stage this year... Lu Ke's mind flashed back to the confusion and self-blame in Justin Smith's eyes after losing in the National League finals that year, the loss and confusion. The mixed emotions thumped on the chest dullly, making people speechless.
Then Lu Ke realized that he was too negative and too pessimistic. Being in a hospital environment, all negative emotions seemed to be amplified.
But after a moment of silence, those messy thoughts surged up again: Vomiting blood, what does this mean? Why did Jean vomit blood? Looking back carefully at the offense where Jean was injured, Lu Ke couldn't help but start to re-examine whether his long pass tactical choice was too risky?
Lu Ke knew that this was a wrong idea. Once the emotion of self-blame started, he would be trapped in it and unable to extricate himself; but at this time, he was sitting alone on a chair in the corridor of the hospital. The empty corridor and the white lights made the negative emotions disappear. It started to breed like this, and there was no way to control it.
"Bambi?"
A call came from the corridor, cutting off the random thoughts in Lu Ke's mind and getting rid of the quagmire of negative emotions. Then he saw the voices of Walter and Hubble coming out together. Hubble, who was walking in front, had a look on his face. I was surprised, I didn't expect to see Lu Ke here at all.
"Aren't you supposed to be at the airport?" Hubble asked doubtfully, "Why are you here? Where are the others?"
Lu Ke did not answer Hubble's question, but stood up and asked proactively, "Where is Ted? How is his condition?"
Hubble scratched his head irritably, "The doctor recommended a week to two weeks of rest. We still need to return to San Francisco for in-depth examination to know the specific situation."
Hubble's answer failed to meet Lu Ke's needs: What's the point? What's going on with Gene? Why do you suddenly vomit blood? How is your physical condition? Is taking a week to two weeks off a good thing or a bad thing? Also, why didn't Gene show up with Hubble and Walter?
Lu Ke's brows furrowed more and more, and he cast a questioning look at Walter.
Walter glanced at Hubble anyway, and then said, "Ted is fine."
Walter gave a positive answer at the beginning, which made Lu Ke feel a little relieved.
"After examination, it was mainly due to blood blockage caused by some old injuries, which formed congestion in the chest. After today's violent impact, the body reacted, and then vomiting blood occurred. In fact, this is a good thing, because vomiting out It’s all congestion, which is healthy for the body and promotes new blood circulation.”
"The problem now is that after being exposed to a violent impact for a long time, there may still be some internal injuries and hidden injuries that have not been recovered in time. Therefore, we just conducted a complete MRI examination for Ted. The preliminary examination report is good news. Reply After arriving in San Francisco, we will conduct a detailed consultation to ensure that we have not missed anything."
This is not San Francisco after all.
It has nothing to do with the tit-for-tat confrontation between their mortal enemies in the same district. The main reason is that in San Francisco, they have a familiar medical team and experts who can conduct more targeted consultations. Through detailed examination and in-depth discussions, they can grasp the specific situation in an all-round way, and then prepare for the good news. En formulate a more detailed and more tailored recovery plan.
Therefore, it can only be said that the preliminary inspection has passed.
"Overall, Ted is fine for the time being. To be on the safe side, we still need to go back for a second check-up. According to his current physical condition, it is best for him to rest for a period of time to allow his body to have time to adjust and recover. It will take a week to Two weeks is a preliminary estimate, and the specific situation will not be known until re-examination.”
Lu Ke waited again, making sure that Walter had explained all the situations and there were no other surprises, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
After he relaxed a little, Lu Ke understood why Hubble's words just now were so concise and why he was so irritable——
It was precisely because Gene was fine and the situation was far less serious than it seemed that Hubble relaxed. The first reaction in his mind was naturally the serious problem of the playoffs: Crabtree had just returned and his condition was slow. Not adjusted to the best; Vernon's concussion was finally lifted and he can return in the next game, but his status is a mystery; now Gene is injured again and may need to miss one to two games, the San Francisco 49ers receiving team The many problems are really a headache.
Lu Ke took the initiative to look at Hubble and said, "Sorry, my attitude was a little impatient just now."
Hubble didn't know why. He stared at Lu Ke doubtfully for a while, then realized it and waved his hand nonchalantly, not caring at all.
"Don't worry, no matter how difficult the situation is, we persevere." Lu Ke then comforted, which made Hubble scratch his head and chuckle, "You said you don't have to worry, then I really don't worry. How about I leave all the situations to you? I think this is a good idea."
Rarely, Hubble also made a joke. The regular season is finally over, and the team has successfully entered the playoffs, and then experienced the ups and downs of Gene's injury. Hubble needs to relax a little now, otherwise his nerves will be tense for too long, even Superman can't bear it.
Lu Ke chuckled, but did not take it seriously or respond. He looked at Walter again, "Where is Ted? Is the inspection not over yet?"
"He is hanging water in it and needs to add some nutrients. He should be almost finished hanging it now, and then he can follow us back to San Francisco." Walter explained, after a pause, he interpreted Lu Ke's sight, " You go in, I think he may need some companionship."
Lu Ke nodded, without saying anything more, bypassed Hubble and Walter, and walked toward the ward behind him.
Push open the door of the VIP ward, and you will find a small waiting room. Then there is a second door inside. After opening the door panel, you will find the real patient room - which is equipped with a TV, air conditioner, stereo, and desk. Wait, the equipment looks more like a hotel room than a hospital room.
At this time, Gene was lying on the hospital bed. The upper part of the hospital bed was supported to form a recliner. This allowed Gene to lie leisurely on the "beach chair", seeming to be enjoying the sunbath and watching TV at the same time. During the program, there was a fruit plate placed on the left hand side. I felt so uncomfortable during my little life, and I didn’t look like a “patient who vomits blood” at all.
"Hey, Bambi! Why are you here?" Gene took the initiative to say hello, with a pleasant smile on his face, "I'm watching ESPN's post-game report, and I'm re-explaining and analyzing the entire game."
The happy and contented look was completely like he was on vacation, with no sign of a patient's consciousness at all, which made Lu Ke's worry and nervousness ridiculous.
But Lu Ke still keenly captured Gene's slightly pale face. Even the blood on his lips could not be seen, and the luster in his eyes had quietly dimmed. Even if Gene tried his best to hide it, those details were still visible to the quarterback's eagle eyes. There is still nothing to hide underneath, as if the actual situation is not as serious as the vomiting of blood, and Jean is not as relaxed as he seems on the surface.
In order not to worry Lu Ke, Gene was hiding his condition.
"So, did they say anything good about me?" Lu Ke didn't expose Jean. He came to the bedside and sat down on the light gray sofa.
"The whole story! The whole story!" Gene said exaggeratedly, and at the same time he raised the fruit plate with his left hand and handed it to Lu Ke, "Do you need to taste a little bit? Although the taste is not as good as that of San Francisco, we can't criticize the hospital. That’s too much to ask for, right? After all, this is not a place just for vacation.”
"You actually know? I thought you just came here for vacation." Lu Ke complained mercilessly, which made Gene shrink the fruit plate back with some scorn.
Just when Lu Ke was worried that he was complaining too hard, Gene suddenly opened his eyes wide and shouted happily, "Got-You!" Gene nodded happily and looked at Lu Ke's With a shocked and frightened expression on his face, his mood immediately flew into the clouds, "Haha, I was able to trick Bambi. This is really worth it! I must show off to everyone, the crabs will be so jealous that they will go crazy!"
Looking at Jean who was so cheerful and lively, Lu Ke also laughed dumbly and raised his hands to express surrender, "Ted, I admit defeat. The patient is the biggest. I can't just pull out your infusion tube and take revenge." Bar?"
The sarcastic tone made Jean unable to stop laughing.
With great difficulty, the laughter gradually calmed down, and then the corners of the mouth became so heavy that I couldn't lift them up - the happier I laughed, the more emptiness surged, and the mask of pretense finally couldn't support it anymore, and then the entanglement and sadness in my heart became like this As he rolled, Gene's shoulders couldn't help but sag, revealing a hint of loneliness, which made Lu Ke feel extremely cruel.
"Bambi, tell me, what if I can't make it to the playoffs?" Gene turned his head and looked at Lu Ke. There was no special emotion in his eyes, just calmness, but this calmness became more and more impressive. Sad, "I know that if I miss this year, there will always be next year, but the problem is that I don't want to miss this year. I want to fight with everyone, and I want to fight together to realize Ryan's promise. But What if I can’t catch up?”
This was an unsolvable problem, and Lu Ke didn't know how to answer it. All the principles became weak in the face of the cruel reality.
