I was determined to be bad, but I went straight to the Basketball Hall of Fame

Chapter 272 I Still Want to Dunk (Fourth)
In the Clippers' away locker room, Curry lay on a massage table with his shoes, socks and bandages removed.

His right ankle was severely swollen. This sprain was more serious in terms of symptoms alone, and it was not possible to continue to appear on the stage simply by applying ice and treating it.

Min Congda came to the locker room and looked at Curry's ankle with mixed feelings in his heart.

On the one hand, Curry was injured and played less games, which is good for bad performance.

On the other hand, as a friend, seeing him suffer, I can't be happy no matter what.

Curry looked very, very depressed, his head drooping, waiting for the doctor to deal with it.

During this offseason, the Clippers recruited two new doctors of sports medicine to serve as the team's team doctor. Roser personally recruited them.

Min Congda is very happy with this kind of work that spends money to recruit people. The salaries of these two doctors are not cheap, and Min Congda even increased their salaries.

One of them, Steve Clems, took Curry back to the locker room and did a quick fix on Curry's ankle.

Then he made a preliminary diagnosis and said: "It should be an ordinary sprain. After about two weeks of rest, he will be able to return to normal and continue the game. However, the specific situation will not be known until the results of the MRI come out. How long will the rest be?"

Hearing from the doctor that two weeks of rest is enough, Curry's mood improved a lot.

Min Congda thought, will you see a doctor, just say two weeks casually?

Min Congda walked to the massage table and said to Curry, "Stephen, how many times have you sprained your ankle this year?"

Curry said: "It's already the fifth time, but I think there is no problem, I can continue to play."

Min Congda shook his head, and said, "I think it's better for you to have the surgery earlier. Otherwise, the impact of the injury will become more and more serious in the future. The earlier the surgery, the sooner you will get rid of this heart disease. I think you are worried during the competition." Your own ankle?"

Min Congda hit what was on Curry's mind. He was indeed worried about his ankle.

But he still said: "Injuries are part of the game. From the moment I step on the court, I am always accompanied by pain. This is unavoidable. I think I have no problem, and I can continue to play after a good rest. "

Min Congda flatly refused, saying: "No! I suggest you have surgery! I'll call your father later and ask him to come over and discuss the surgery. Don't worry, don't worry about the contract."

Curry hurriedly defended: "It's not a contract issue, I want to..."

"You don't think about it! I think for you. If you want to have a longer and more successful career, treat your body well. Have you forgotten what I usually say? Take a long-term perspective!"

To be honest, Min Congda feels a little guilty when he talks about "long-term vision".

He sometimes fears that in the long run, it will really become a long-term benefit.

But he can't control that much anymore, the opportunity to correct mistakes is in front of him!
He patted Curry on the shoulder and said, "Heal your ankle early, or you won't be able to dunk in the future."

Curry still hesitated in his heart, and then he was sent by the team doctor to a hospital in Oakland for an MRI.

Min Congda did not return to the court. For him, winning or losing the game is not so important.

He immediately called Dell Curry to inform him of Stephen's injury.

Curry Sr. had already learned of his son's injury on live television.

He said he would come to Los Angeles immediately to decide whether to undergo surgery for treatment.

Because of Curry's absence, the Clippers fell into chaos on the offensive end in the second half.

Dunleavy put Bledsoe in and allowed Hinrich more possessions.

But without Curry, the Clippers' outside three-point firepower has been greatly reduced.

The Warriors seized the opportunity and turned the situation around with an 11:2 offensive shock wave at the end of the third quarter.

In the fourth quarter, the two sides entered into a dogfight, and Randolph and Gasol Jr. supported the offense and defense inside.

However, Harden and Ricky missed consecutive three-pointers at critical moments.

As Harden missed a lore three-pointer at the last moment, the Warriors reversed the Clippers with a 109-point advantage at home 107:2.

Gave the Clippers a defeat.

When Min Congda's mobile phone received a text message of 2000 yuan in wages for the loss, his heart was calm.

Let Curry hurry up for surgery and rest well is the most important thing.

Curry completed the MRI and returned to Los Angeles with the team.

The next day, the examination results came out, as judged by the team doctor, it was not a serious sprain.

You only need to rest for about two weeks and receive corresponding treatment before you can continue to play normally.

However, the doctor also gave advice, saying that "his ankle tendons and ligaments have been damaged, and if he continues to play high-intensity games, it will wear further. It may not be a good choice to perform surgery in advance for repair."

After returning to Los Angeles, Curry took a break at home.

Dell Curry and his wife flew from Charlotte to Los Angeles that night.

Curry's management team, parents and girlfriend, Curry himself and Min Congda had a meeting at home.

Min Congda insisted that Curry should have had surgery earlier to repair his right ankle.

Instead of dragging conservative treatment and recovering while playing, the situation will only get worse.

Dell Curry is worried about his son's health, but also hopes that it will not affect Curry's future.

The agent team is worried about Curry's commercial value and the next contract issue.

Min Congda promised: "If Curry has an operation, I will immediately renew his contract in advance! You don't have to worry about the contract at all!"

Dell Curry knows that Min Congda has always been generous, and said: "Mr. Smart, I respect you very much, and your generous alliance is well known. However, it depends on Stephen himself and how he chooses. "

Curry sat on the couch with his head bowed, his ankles held in place by special rings, his face uncertain.

He is very entangled in his heart. Seeing that the team is full of talents and made it to the playoffs last season, it will go further this season.

Harden also came to the team. The two are teammates, friends, and competitors.

He didn't want to fall behind in the competition, and he didn't want to wait until he came back to have fallen behind Harden.

But Mr. Smart's words always make sense, don't they? His vision is always so long-term and unique.

If he gets rid of the ankle problems earlier, he will be able to concentrate on improving himself in the future, and he will be able to go further.

After a fierce ideological struggle, Curry said: "I think it's better to listen to Mr. Smart and do surgery. In order to play better in the league in the future."

Min Congda shouted victory in his heart. He stepped forward to hug Curry and said, "Your decision is very brave! You will recover soon, and what I said is true."

The second half of the sentence Min Congda is sincere.

Curry smiled: "I know, I still want to dunk in the future."

Min Congda laughed along with him.

At this moment, Min Congda was a little confused. Did he let Curry have the surgery because he wanted him to stop playing badly, or did he care about him from the bottom of his heart?
"Whatever, anyway, I can't treat my little brother badly."
