Chapter 309 Meng Yun's Secret

Although Meng Yun comforted Guo Hai, telling him not to worry and not to be too pessimistic, but in fact it was just consolation, which is not the case.

The next day, Meng Yun had an MRI and was diagnosed with a torn meniscus in his right knee.

As the news was confirmed, Meng Yun's ranking suddenly plummeted on some draft evaluation websites.

Originally, with the continuous counterattack of Davidson College, they defeated Virginia State University, Arizona University and other teams successively, and finally reached the semifinals.Meng Yun has also gained people's recognition with his amazing performance, and is favored by the outside world. The predicted draft ranking has also risen step by step from the second round. In the predicted rankings of some websites, he has even entered the first round.

When Davidson College won the semifinals, Meng Yun's performance once again shocked everyone, and his draft ranking on some ranking websites was even ranked in the lottery zone.

But almost overnight, Meng Yun's ranking plummeted, falling directly out of the first round.

Even, this ranking will continue to drop, depending on Meng Yun's recovery.

If the operation is relatively successful and the recovery is relatively good, the impact on Meng Yun's draft will be less, and if the recovery is not ideal, the impact will be greater.

Another point is that Meng Yun's rise is too fast, or it can be said too suddenly. Before playing NCAA, he performed very well in the domestic high school league, but if it is put in the world, it can only be said to be so-so.

Meng Yun gradually rose after the start of the ncaa season, and he has become better and better, which means that the data he can use for nba teams' research reference is limited to this.

Of course, if Meng Yun is not injured, he will definitely receive training camp invitations from some NBA teams before the draft, and those NBA teams can use his performance in the training camp to evaluate whether he is worthy of being selected.

But now Meng Yun is injured and needs surgery.

There are generally two treatment options for knee meniscus tears. One is direct removal. This option recovers quickly, but the postoperative sequelae are obvious. Because the lack of meniscus has a great impact on the player's athletic ability, it will It directly affects the athletic ability of the players and shortens the professional life of the players.

Another treatment option is meniscus suture, which is to suture the torn meniscus together, and then assist some drugs to allow the meniscus to heal itself.

The advantage of this solution is that if all goes well, the meniscus can even recover completely. The disadvantage is that the recovery effect is not absolute, and the recovery period is long. Generally, it takes 6 weeks after the operation to start partial weight bearing, followed by rehabilitation training.If you want to play normally, it will take at least 2-3 months.

Now it is the beginning of April, and the nba draft is usually at the end of June, that is to say, less than three months after the nba draft, Meng Yun is basically unlikely to participate in any team's training camp.

In this way, Meng Yun is equivalent to lacking an opportunity to prove himself to the NBA team, which will have a considerable impact on his participation in the draft.

And that's not the biggest problem.

The biggest problem is the injury, because Meng Yun is a Chinese.

For a long time, in the eyes of many NBA teams, the Chinese have a "glass physique".In fact, it is not just the Chinese. In their view, all Asian players have a "vitreous physique" and are prone to injury.And the NBA is a competitive game with intense physical confrontation, high load and high intensity, and it is easy to get injured.

So even if Meng Yun's surgery goes well and he recovers well, many NBA teams still have worries in their hearts, worrying that Meng Yun is also a typical "vitreous physique".

No matter how talented you are, how outstanding you are, if you have a "vitreous physique", it can only be said that you have no chance to play in the NBA, not even Greg Oden, who was once known as the Great.

Due to these factors, Meng Yun's draft has cast a shadow.

"Well, I know. But I've already made up my mind." Meng Yun talked with Yao Ming on the phone and talked for more than ten minutes before hanging up.

Yao Ming also knew the news, and he called to care about Meng Yun, and to persuade him to give up the draft and recuperate well, and wait until next year. As for Guo Hai's surgery fee, Yao Ming is also willing to help pay in advance.

But Meng Yun politely refused.

In the end, Yao Ming had no choice but to give up, but he gave Meng Yun a phone number and introduced a surgeon to Meng Yun. He had already greeted there.

In fact, Yao Ming is not the first person to call to persuade Meng Yun. Apart from him, Zhang Mingji, Kenny Jefferson, TJ Watson, Hall, Leo Keynes, etc. have also joined in. When I called, I comforted Meng Yun, and at the same time advised him to think about it and not rush to participate in the draft.

These are friends, and they are all for Meng Yun's sake.

Even Coach Popovich personally called Meng Yun. He was still optimistic about Meng Yun and didn't think that a single injury could defeat Meng Yun.But he also advised Meng Yun to give up the draft and wait for one more year, but Meng Yun still refused.In the end, coach Popovich sighed and offered to help Meng Yun contact the doctor, which made Meng Yun very grateful.

"Maybe everyone thinks I'm crazy." Meng Yun put down the phone and shook his head mockingly.

In the past two days, many people advised him to give up the draft. In addition to the callers, Mason Carr, Danny Clemens, and a group of teammates all advised him.

Everyone was kind, but Meng Yun rejected them all.

It's not that Meng Yun is dead-headed, nor is he arrogant, it's just that he has a secret that everyone doesn't know - the effect of the solar storm is still there, so Meng Yun is so persistent.

In the two days since he was injured, Meng Yun could clearly feel the effect of the "solar storm". The magical power was still there, and it didn't disappear because of time, as if it was just dormant.When he was injured this time, that power was reactivated and became very active, like cool water flowing through his wound.

In just two days, Meng Yun felt that his injury had healed a lot.

This surprised Meng Yun, and he calmed down. Perhaps for others, a torn meniscus in the knee is an extremely serious injury, and it is difficult to recover, but Meng Yun does not think so. With the power of "solar storm", he believes I can fully recover, return to normal, and will not leave any sequelae.

Of course, it doesn't take as long as 2-3 months.

"The doctor introduced by Coach Popovich should not be an ordinary person, but it's not easy to owe him a favor. Well, let's trouble Brother Yao, anyway, he has already owed him a favor." Meng Yun thought for a while, pulled out the number, and dialed Called the doctor Yao Ming introduced to him, "Hello, is this Dr. Dawn? I'm Meng Yun, yes, you have already understood the situation Yao Ming introduced me? That's great, when will you see me? Come here and discuss the operation, I hope to have the operation as soon as possible.”
