Chapter 739 Just go up, don't look down

Early in the morning, Wei Xia made plans for today.

All plans are condensed for one thing: play with grandpa.

Elaine made him a mixed breakfast in China, Japan and South Korea.

Today's breakfast included kimchi, sushi and soy milk.

That's right, it's all things that Wei Xia can't eat.

Wei Xia could not refuse his wife's wishes. No one knew about this meal anyway. The reporters and fans who praised his professionalism would still say that he had not touched junk food for ten years in order to maintain his condition. This is not a fact at all, he would eat some occasionally.

After breakfast, he said goodbye to his wife, hugged his son, and left.

Early in the morning, the chat group in the team kept ringing.

Lamar Odom is a lunatic. He has unlimited energy and always posts some bloody, pornographic, and violent pictures in the group.

Early in the morning, he posted photos of Zhang's porn star, which attracted a lot of praise from the group.

"I have to say that her breasts are too big and not good-looking. What's her name?" Wei Xia's straightforward style won praise from her teammates.

His questioning method is definitely more advanced than a friend who is born out of nothing, but Odom hid after posting the yellow picture. He is really not afraid of being punished by heaven.

If you post pictures but don’t post them, what’s the next sentence?

Wei Xia was on the earliest flight.

There is a three-hour time difference between Los Angeles and Boston. When Wei Xia arrived, it was already 15:00 pm.

He bought a Mexican chicken roll near the airport, ordered a taxi and went to Massachusetts General Hospital.

"Sir, you look a lot like...Wish."

Before Wei Xia got off the car, the driver said in disbelief.

"Is that true? Many people say so, but I am much handsomer than him." Wei Xia's acting is perfect when she is recognized and pretends to be the other party's mistake.

He believed that no one could see through his disguise.

The best disguise is not to disguise, it is so open and upright that it is unbelievable.

He walked in through the main entrance of the hospital, and many people looked at him along the way.

His goal was clear, and he walked to grandpa's ward and knocked.

"If it's not Philip, don't come in." The old man inside was already impatient.

Wei Xia opened the door and was about to make a joke to relieve Wayne's mood, but found that the grandfather on the hospital bed was a little strange.

He lost a lot of weight.

Yes, his face was much haggard than when he came last time.

"Philly, you're too slow! Half a day has passed! You have to compensate me for another half a day!" Wayne just wanted to stand up from the hospital bed and leave the hospital immediately.

"Lying down!" Lianna shouted.

In an instant, Wayne was as well-behaved as a sheep.

Wei Xia walked closer with a smile: "Sure enough, only grandma can make you behave."

"Hmph, I just don't want to be as good as her. You don't know my strength..." Wayne was ruthlessly exposed by his wife after only half of his pretending. "What kind of strength do you dare to say about the old man who is not even right in the toilet?"

Looking at the haggard look of grandpa, Wei Xia felt sad.

After a while, Wayne's attending doctor came in.

"According to normal procedures, Mr. Wayne should not leave the hospital, but if this is his decision and you as guardians agree, he can leave the hospital for a day, but he must return here on time tomorrow." Wayne's attending doctor said, "In case, we will arrange for a doctor to follow you out of the hospital."

"What?" Wayne screamed, "Are you still in dispersed after you are discharged from the hospital?"

Wei Xia ignored grandpa's protest and accepted unconditionally: "No problem."

Then, the attending doctor stayed in the ward and talked about what Wayne couldn't do after he went out for half an hour.

According to him, Wayne had to go out for a walk and had a breath of wind, and he was not allowed to do anything else.

"This... it's better to lie in the hospital!"

Wayne was almost furious when he heard it.

"Or don't go out and stay in the hospital?" Wei Xia felt that this was good, "I've been there all day."

Liana was worried about what Wayne was going out: "Your health is like this. Can't you stay in the hospital obediently?"

Wayne probably hesitated for only a second.

"Go out." Wayne seemed very tired of the hospital. "Even if he can't do anything, it's better than being in the hospital."

Wayne had the biggest opinion today, so, after a little preparation, Weisha, Wayne, Liana, and the hospital's escort doctor Jerry Christian went out of the hospital.

Christian is a resident at Massachusetts General Hospital and a basketball fan.

While they were in the car, Christian mentioned the 2008 finals with Weisha more than once: "Wish, that was the heartbreaking moment for all Bostonians."

"It's also my heartbreaking moment," Wayne said immediately, "and it's my most exciting moment since 1986."

That is indeed the pinnacle of Wei Xia's career so far.

This year marks the ninth year of his career, four years for the Lakers and five years for the 76ers, he only has one championship ring and a FMVP snatched from Kobe.

"Grandpa, the garden is here."

In fact, Boston Gardens had been demolished more than a decade ago.

But Wayne also wants to come and see, it has been replaced by stores.

They got out of the car, Weisha and Liana wanted to support Wayne, and he waved his hand, "I'm not that level yet!"

"I really don't know why they demolished it. Some things are symbolic than practical use. Even if the environment in the Fleet Center (North Shore Garden) is several times more comfortable in the garden and I'm going to choose, I will still choose to come here to watch the game." Wayne never calls North Shore Garden a "garden".

In his heart, there is only one garden, which is the Boston Garden, which has permanently become a historical term in 1997.

Wayne took Wei Xia to the outside of a convenience store, pointed to the door of the convenience store and said, "It's not wrong! 59 years ago, I sat here and watched Hong Duo steal the ball! Soon I rushed into the field like everyone else and stole his ball! Trust me, I have seen the real magnificence!"

"I've seen it too." Wei Xia watched the scene of Wayne stealing the Haflicecki ball many times in the arena.

Wayne nodded and smiled, "Yes, what you did in 2008 is no less than that of Hongduo!"

"It's a pity that is the highest glory in my life so far." Wei Xia said sadly.

"Wish, don't be too greedy. The ball you stole will appear in the nightmare of me and other Celtic fans until today!" Christian said unwillingly.

The old site has been demolished, and the demolition team is very powerful. Wayne cannot find any traces of the garden here.

They decided to leave.

Where to go?

Boston Park

They strictly followed the doctor's advice and did not allow Wayne to do anything.

Wayne could only take a walk in the park.

To avoid being recognized, Wei Xia wore glasses.

"There have been a lot of history in textbooks here, but unfortunately it has nothing to do with me. I just have no place to go." After a while, Wayne was tired.

They found a drink shop and ordered drinks and snacks.

While waiting for the beverage clerk to bring food and drink to the table, Wei Xia asked about Wayne's condition.

He has never asked, not because he doesn't care, but because he doesn't want to know the answer.

His optimism is powerless in the face of tormenting illness.

"Just that, my health has been terrible over the years, like the accumulated pressure, they are almost crushing me," Wayne said. "The hospital wants me to have an experimental treatment plan, and if it succeeds, there are still a few years of good life."

Wei Xia tried to ask: "How do you feel?"

"How do you say it?" Wayne shrugged, "It's not as terrible as you think, it's not too uncomfortable. As long as you can tolerate vomiting constantly, you're watching your blood vessels turn black, and you feel like your bones are about to melt..."

Liana wanted to say something, but didn't say it.

During the silence of Wei Xia, the waiter brought over what they ordered.

"Please use it slowly."

"I miss this so much!" Wayne was just juice.

As a diabetic, this thing is like a cordon, and Christian only lets him drink 1/3 of the cup.

Seeing that Wei Xia was not talking, Wayne seemed to be distracted by other things, so he asked, "Phily, how are you doing recently? I heard you won 71 wins, it's a pity that you won the Bulls' record next time."

Wei Xia smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know if we can still show similar concentration."

"Why can't it?"

"I didn't understand before, but now I gradually understand. Chasing the championship is a road that cannot be seen at the end. Every time the winning streak begins, I feel that we will not lose again. Every time the winning streak is overrun, I worry that we will never win again. These illusions brought by adrenaline are penetrated by reality, but the pressure that comes with it - fans' expectations, city expectations, media pressure, public opinion..." Wei Xia looked at the pedestrians in the park, "Sometimes I can't breathe and want to find a place to hide."

When Wayne heard what Wei Xia said, he laughed and took another sip of juice using this as a cover.

He told his words in his heart: "Child, I have this idea long ago. In a few years, you will think so. Life is like a hillside. When you go up and your eyes are towards the peak, you will feel indescribable pleasure. Once you reach the peak, what suddenly appears in front of you is the terrible downhill, the final destination - death. When you walk up, you are panting and walking slowly, and when you walk down, you are as fast as a horse, and you can't stop. At your age like you, everyone lives with pressure, and your heart is full of beautiful longings, even if these longings are difficult to realize. When a person reaches my age, there is no hope... what awaits me is the arrival of death."

"No matter what is ahead, rush over with all your strength, and take advantage of your youth and strength, your legs and feet will be flexible!"
