บท 199: Chapter 199: Dunking on Patterson
"Are you really okay?"
Kidd asks again, still concerned. Wade Dong has only missed one game since entering the league, and that was due to a suspension for fighting.
Apart from that one game, Wade Dong has been present for every game. Injuries are an inevitable part of a player's career. Wade Dong once reminded Rose to be careful with his playing style during a drinking session, but Wade Dong's own style is even more aggressive. Kidd has always been worried about Wade Dong's physical condition.
After all, Wade Dong is the future of the Suns.
"I'm really fine."
Wade Dong walks onto the court as the short timeout ends.
The previous fall was quite severe, and the pain in his waist is affecting Wade Dong's movements.
"Damn, I hope I didn't hurt my waist..."
Wade Dong mutters to himself.
Gortat inbounds the ball, and Curry dribbles it to the frontcourt. There are less than 30 seconds left in the possession, and this time, the Suns are stalling.
Curry dribbles for about 10 seconds and then passes the ball to McGrady.
The Thunder's defensive intensity has also increased. With the 24-second shot clock about to expire, Wade Dong suddenly shakes off Harden's defense and shouts, "Pass the ball to me!"
"Whoosh~~~"
McGrady quickly passes the ball to Wade Dong.
With only 2 seconds left before a shot clock violation, Wade Dong catches the ball and immediately shoots a three-pointer!
The pain in his waist still affects Wade Dong's shooting rhythm, and the ball hits the rim.
"Duang~"
Fortunately, Wade Dong's luck is good, and the ball bounces into the basket.
86:91!!!
The Suns trail the Thunder by 5 points.
The third quarter leaves the Thunder with only 5 seconds of possession time. Durant quickly shoots and misses.
In the three minutes Durant was off the court, the Suns reduced a 21-point deficit to 5 points.
...
The third quarter ends.
Kidd notices that Wade Dong is still walking unsteadily and stops him, saying firmly, "You must let the team doctor check you out!"
Wade Dong's last three-pointer, although it went in, was a bit off, and in Kidd's view, it indicates that Wade Dong is not feeling well.
"Okay."
Wade Dong sees the coach and his teammates' strong attitude and has no choice but to accept.
...
Chinese Live Broadcast:
Yu Jia, "Wade Dong has returned to the locker room!"
Coach Zhang, "It looks like Wade Dong's condition is worse than we thought."
Yu Jia, "We don't know if Wade Dong will return to the court in the fourth quarter."
The fans see Wade Dong being helped back to the locker room by the team doctor and are shocked.
"Injuries suck!"
In the short time Wade Dong was in the locker room, dozens of posts appeared on a certain forum, all praying for Wade Dong to stay injury-free.
...
"Does it hurt here?"
"Ouch! It hurts!"
"Does it hurt here?"
"Ouch! It hurts!"
"Does it hurt here?"
"Ouch! It hurts!"
The team doctor presses on Wade Dong's waist, and every spot he presses makes Wade Dong yell in pain. This makes the doctor frown, "The situation is worse than I thought..."
"Damn your uncle!"
Wade Dong curses, "Are you a professional? Can't you trim your nails?"
"Oh, oh, I'm sorry, Brother Dong."
The doctor feels a bit embarrassed and hides his hands behind his back, "I forgot to trim my nails before coming out."
"This is..."
Wade Dong is speechless. The Suns' team doctor is supposed to be a godly doctor, but he's so unreliable! He's far inferior to the old Chinese doctors...
The doctor says quietly, "Brother Dong, your condition might involve a spinal injury. I suggest you don't continue playing and get an MRI after the game."
"No need to bother you, I'm fine."
Wade Dong sits up from the bed, straightens his jersey, and waves his hand, "I'm going back to the court."
...
"Brother Dong..."
The doctor tries to stop Wade Dong from returning to the court.
Actually, the doctor's concern is valid. When Wade Dong shot the last three-pointer, his body was in great pain, which could indeed indicate a spinal injury.
So, just now, when the doctor was examining him, Wade Dong used a bottle of 'Recovery Potion,' and after using it, he no longer felt any pain in his waist.
...
When Wade Dong walks out of the player tunnel, the fourth quarter has already started for 3 minutes.
93:104!!!
The Suns trail the Thunder by 11 points.
"That's good..."
Wade Dong sighs in relief. This deficit is not too large, and there's still hope to come back.
Kidd sees Wade Dong and immediately asks, "Brother Dong, are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
Wade Dong gives a thumbs-up, "The Suns' team doctor is truly a godly doctor. He pinched me a few times with his fingers, and I no longer feel any pain."
Kidd, "???"
"Never mind, I'm going back to the court."
Wade Dong waves his hand and asks Varlick, "Did the Thunder have any new players enter the game in the fourth quarter?"
"No."
Varlick shakes the list in his hand, "I've been keeping track."
"Very good!"
Wade Dong pats Varlick on the shoulder and walks to the scorer's table, ready to check in.
...
Yu Jia, "Wade Dong is back, and he looks very relaxed."
Coach Zhang, "That's good, that's good."
The fans watching on TV see Wade Dong return and also breathe a sigh of relief, cheering for him.
...
Durant draws a foul on Tucker and prepares to shoot free throws.
During this time, the Suns also make substitutions.
Wade Dong replaces Nash, and Curry replaces Thompson.
McGrady, Green, and Gortat remain on the court.
The Thunder, seeing Wade Dong return, also bring back all their starters.
Seeing Wade Dong back on the court, Durant asks before shooting his free throws, "Wade Dong, are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
Wade Dong shakes his head helplessly. Many people are concerned about him, and he has said "I'm fine" countless times in the past few minutes.
"That's good."
"Swish!!!"
"Swish!!!"
Durant makes both free throws.
93:106!!!
The Suns now trail the Thunder by 13 points.
The Suns are on offense.
Wade Dong dribbles the ball and says to his teammates, "We're only down by 13 points. Let's pick up the pace and show them our three-point rain!"
"Yes!!!"
With Wade Dong and Curry back on the court, the Suns' momentum also returns.
Brooks stands on the sideline and hears Wade Dong say they want to show the Thunder their three-point shooting. He shouts, "Defend Wade Dong and Curry! Don't let them get easy three-point shots!"
"Slam!!!"
Wade Dong faces Harden's defense, makes a crossover, and then spins past Harden.
At this moment, Green also sets a screen for Curry, who runs to the three-point line ready to receive the ball.
Wade Dong glances at Curry.
"Watch out for Wade Dong's pass!!!"
Durant immediately points to Curry's position and shouts to his teammates.
At this moment, Ibaka rushes out from the paint to defend Curry.
Because Wade Dong's glance fooled everyone, they all thought he was going to pass the ball to Curry!
But Wade Dong raises his left arm and passes the ball from under his armpit to McGrady.
McGrady takes one step and jumps!
"Boom!!!"
This time, Patterson, standing under the basket, didn't notice McGrady coming and was dunked on by McGrady!
