The Way of the Center

At night, at the First Hospital of Indianapolis, the appearance of two men caused a small commotion. Many people and even doctors didn't forget to ask them for autographs. These two men patiently met people's requests, but it can be seen that these two guys are not in a happy mood.

"The elevator is coming." An Jie stared anxiously at the elevator floor display. In the hospital, the elevator is more difficult to wait than the bus.

When the elevator door opened, the people inside were first surprised, and then quickly walked out of the elevator. Anjie and Ricard stepped in anxiously and pressed the "10" button. The tenth floor is the floor where the cardiology department of this hospital is located, and Aldridge is there waiting for them at this time.

The doctors and nurses at the nurses' station were not as surprised as the people downstairs when they saw the two men walking out of the elevator. After all, the one lying in the ward is already big enough. The appearance of these two guys was completely expected.

"Coach Ricard, Mr. An, hello, I am Martin Maguire, the attending physician of LaMarcus." A male doctor with long hair and golden glasses greeted Anjie and Ricard. Up here.

"Hello, Mr. Maguire, how is LaMarcus?" Ricard shook hands with the doctor casually, and hurriedly followed the doctor towards the ward.

"It's very stable at the moment, but there is still a possibility of another attack. This guy's heart is already very fragile. To be honest, it is a miracle that he can become a professional basketball player. But I have discussed with your team doctor. If the situation is bad..." Maguire stopped talking.

"What happens if the situation is bad?" Ricard asked.

"Actually, Mr. Ricard. From a doctor's point of view, I hope LaMarcus can truce indefinitely."

"Oh, God." Ricard stopped in front of Aldridge's ward and held his forehead. An indefinite truce is perhaps the last word that every team's head coach wants to hear.

"What the **** is going on?" Anjie, who had been beside them, was confused. He spent the most time with Aldridge on weekdays, but he didn't know that Aldridge had a heart. what is the problem. The only thing that is a bit strange may be the movement that Aldridge made the night before in the middle of the night.

"Mr. Ann doesn't know?" The doctor stared at Ricard in surprise, Ricard just shook his head.

"To put it simply, LaMarcus has a congenital heart disease called Wolfe-Parkinson-White syndrome, also known as pre-excitation heart syndrome. From the first day I joined the team, The team doctor told me everything about LaMarcus." Ricard began to explain to Anjie.

"This kid, he didn't have a heartbeat when he was born. It was electric shock that saved his life. Because of this, his heart rate has been irregular since he was a child. It can be said that LaMarcus's heart has never been healthy. Despite the operation It made his heart more tenacious and made his basketball dream a reality. But for a complete cure, one operation is definitely not enough. Since entering the NBA league, LaMarcus has twice truce for treatment for this reason. But there is no time when the reaction was as strong as today. So this time, the situation may be worse." Ricard has always known that Aldridge’s heart is not good, so the team doctor said that Aldridge has no problem all over his body. At that time, Ricard was even more afraid.

"God." Now, it was An Jie's turn to grow his mouth. He didn't expect that the low-key forward who had been fighting by his side was struggling with an unhealthy heart!

"Okay, you know what you should know, let's go in and see him." Ricard patted Anjie on the shoulder, and the two followed the doctor into the ward.

"Hey, what are you whispering outside the door? I won't come in for a long time." Aldridge, who was lying on the hospital bed, had already seen the dark shadows on the doors and windows. He knew that the tall figure could only be Ricard and Anjie. .

"How do you feel, buddy." Anjie sat beside Aldridge's bed and asked concerned.

"Nothing unusual, I think I can play now." Aldridge replied with a smile, and pointed to the ECG monitor next to him. Indeed, from the monitor, Aldridge's heart rate is completely normal.

"You **** scared me to death. I almost beat the Hibbert kid for that. I thought it was his foul that caused you to break a few bones." Seeing everything was normal, An Jie relaxed with Aldrie. Qi made a joke.

"I didn't break my bones so easily. Brandon and Greg were not spared. I was the only one who survived. Therefore, God must have taken care of me." Aldridge mentioned his former teammates Roy and Oden, compared to the two of them, his current situation is simply not worth mentioning.

"Boss, I can leave the hospital tonight, and tomorrow I can work with the team normally." Aldridge patted his chest and said to Ricard.

"It's not like you LaMarcus, we have to listen to the doctor. You will have a good rest here today. Don't worry, I won't give you a chance to be lazy."

At this moment, the "didi" sound of the ECG monitor suddenly became irregular. Maguire immediately glanced at the electrocardiogram, and sure enough, Aldridge's heart rate began to be unstable again!

Seeing this, the nurse immediately pushed an ambulance in. And Maguire, holding a needle of atropine, is ready to rescue Aldridge at any time.

Where is Aldridge? The smile has now disappeared from the man's face without a trace. His breathing became difficult, and his cold sweat couldn't stop dripping out.

"Take a deep breath LaMarcus, take a deep breath!" Maguire immediately maximized the flow of the oxygen cylinder, and then pacified Aldridge. After several minutes, Aldridge's heart rate returned to calm.

"If the scene just appeared on the basketball court, it would kill you!" Maguire shouted solemnly. He was also reminding Aldridge to stop playing the game. Without a minimum of ten and a half months of cultivation, no one dared to let him play. If something goes wrong, no doctor can afford this responsibility.

"Okay, I know my situation. I will actively cooperate with the treatment." Aldridge knows that tomorrow he will return to Portland with the team. Maybe the doctor at another hospital will not be so stubborn.

"Boss, Ann, you guys go back and rest early. Hey, you did a good job tonight, you played well." Aldridge fisted with Anjie and urged them to leave. After all, he didn't want to delay other people's rest time because of himself.

Dr. Maguire and several of the Trail Blazers team doctor followers Ricard and Angel walked out of the ward. There is no doubt that they will further discuss Aldridge's condition outside.

"I admit that under normal circumstances, LaMarcus has no problem in playing. But you have just seen that LaMarcus's heart is extremely unstable now, and there may be irregular heartbeats at any time. If you let His heart is under tremendous pressure. If the situation just happened on the basketball court, the consequences would be disastrous!"

Ricard looked at Anjie and it was obvious that neither of these guys wanted Aldridge to be injured.

"So, your opinion is still an indefinite truce?"

"Yes, this is the result I got after discussing with your team doctor. It is very dangerous to let him play before his heart stabilizes. This is not the same as a broken bone~www.NovelMTL.com~Injury The recovery period of a broken bone is predictable. But for this, we don’t know when his heart will return to stability, so we can’t give a specific time for his comeback. So an indefinite truce is the only option. I know you Mr. He Ann desperately needs him, but believe me, even if you arrive in Portland tomorrow, the doctors there will answer you with exactly the same conclusions." Maguire knew he only accepted Aldridge this evening, but even It was one night, and he was also responsible for Aldridge's life.

"Okay, we see, thank you, Doctor Maguire." Ricard shook hands with the doctor again, then turned and left with Anjie.

"This...what is your decision? Boss." On the one hand, Anjie hopes that Aldridge will continue to fight with him, on the other hand, he naturally cares about Aldridge's health.

"Does this still need to be decided? Even the doctor said that, I think we have to lose LaMarcus for a while." Ricard patted Anjie on the back, missing the second master, I hope There won't be too many problems with this team...
