Chapter 969 The future is bleak, still need to struggle
The 76ers team doctor reset Hayward's ankle as soon as he came on the court to relieve his pain.
Hayward was then carried out on a stretcher.
When leaving the stadium, Hayward gave the fans a thumbs up.
As for the game on the court, both sides have already left the field from the spiritual level.
Although athletes are often injured, falling from high altitudes like Hayward, which causes ankle misalignment, is quite rare and extremely terrifying.
The 76ers who lost a core player were depressed and lost the opening game that should have been fully committed to winning.
Hayward's injury made this day that should have been a festive for the 76ers, and it was not interesting at all.
Every Philadelphia is praying for Hayward.
"I don't know how Gordon is." Wei Xia was criticized by the microphone.
They lost, but no one cared because something worse than losing.
Kobe made his perfect debut, making 11 of 19 shots in 33 minutes, with 32 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. It is hard to believe that this is a 38-year-old man.
He became the person with the highest score in the 76ers team in the first game. Of course, Hayward retreated from injury, and most of the ball rights were vacant. The reason why the 76ers were in poor overall condition except him, but his ability to stand up has proved that he is a player who can withstand pressure.
At the age of 38, he is still very strong.
"I feel comfortable here." Kobe described his debut, "The Sixers are an elite team, we aim for the championship, and no matter who we are missing, this goal will not change."
His words sound a bit ruthless, but this is a situation that the 76ers have to face.
That night, Hayward performed an MRI test at a Philadelphia hospital and found out: an ankle fracture. This was much lighter than the "injury that surpassed Livingston back then" that was rumored everywhere.
Ankle fractures are a common injury on the court. A minor absence is only 2-3 months, but in severe cases, it is not only necessary to undergo surgery, but also to take a long rest.
Hayward's this obviously needs surgery.
Therefore, he has basically been reimbursed for the season.
This is cruel news. He was selected twice in the All-Star in the past few years and his career has already reached the fast lane.
Seeing that the contract year is approaching, I am about to make good use of my value, but I am in a difficult situation.
Hayward's future has become unknown, and the 76ers' new season deployment has been disrupted.
Jay Wright originally wanted to turn the 41 system into a regular starter, but Hayward's injury caused the system to lose a key link.
That night, several teammates who were close to Hayward came to the hospital to visit.
His surgery won't start until tomorrow as soon as possible.
He was in a good state of mind, and Cousins asked him, "What do you want to do most now?"
Hayward immediately felt spirited: "Get a plate of lol."
"What's that?"
"You are too rustic, this is the most popular online game in the world!"
Seeing Hayward still in the mood to joke with Cousins, Wei Xia felt a little relieved. In addition, he didn't know what kind of game lol was.
Not counting the few rookies who just joined the team this year, Hayward may be the only e-sports enthusiast on the team.
This kind of thing is already difficult for people of Wei Xia's generation to get started. Although it is very popular, he has never understood it.
Speaking of this suddenly became Hayward's one-man show.
He talked about how much influence this game has on a global scale, and Cousins was stunned. He and Wei Xia were not very interested in this matter, and they simply wanted Hayward to have a place to "make efforts".
When Wei Xia returned home from the hospital, only Kobe discovered him.
Everyone else in the house fell asleep.
Elaine and Wei Zile may watch tonight's game, but just from Hayward's restricted injury, he is sure that his wife will turn off the live broadcast as soon as possible to coax the child to sleep.
Wei Xia teased the cat for a while, and this move unexpectedly relieved the pressure.
When he finished taking a shower and was about to go to bed, his cell phone rang.
If it was someone else, he might not answer.
"It's not yet three in the morning." Wei Xia joked.
The caller is Kobe, whose famous 3:30 am is a beautiful lie. But between him and Wei Xia, 3:30 am is a true story.
That was the story that happened when Wei Xia was a rookie. He and Kobe tortured each other in training camp for half a month in order to compete for the title of "the most diligent Lakers".
This story was reported by the Orange County Chronicle, and Kobe confirmed the authenticity of the story and has since become a classic story that all fans know.
"If you have time, come out."
"Sorry, I don't need anything, but time."
Although he was tough, Wei Xia finally changed into clothes and went out.
The place where Kobe asked Wei Xia to go was definitely unexpected - his home. To be precise, his RV.
Kobe's choice to sign a contract with the 76ers was a sudden decision, so he would not find a house in advance.
He asked his father Lao Qiao to find a place to live, but as long as he did his son, Lao Qiao would do nothing that would make Kobe happy.
Lao Qiao didn't know how picky his son was.
What is Kobe's BMW Hill Villa in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles?
There are mountains, waters, streams, comfort, scenery, and environment, all of which are good, but Lao Qiao is like a local bun and finds a villa to arrange Kobe.
Of course, Kobe was disappointed when he saw it and refused to live in it. He would rather buy a million-level RV and "consider" it and then make a long-term plan.
Now, except for Kobe's eldest daughter staying in Los Angeles to study, his two youngest daughters have come to Philadelphia and live in RVs.
In addition to being able to live in a million-level RV, it has many uses and a wide range of uses.
While the guests were barbecuing, Kobe and Weisha temporarily arranged a basketball court to fight bulls in the car.
Wei Xia, who had just finished taking a shower, accepted the challenge reluctantly.
"You're not afraid of losing to me, are you?" Kobe didn't have to use his age to stimulate Wei Xia. Just saying this is enough.
Think about how Kobe treated himself when he was in the Lakers. Now, when will he have to wait for the opponent to fight back when he is old and weak?
Thinking of this, Wei Xia ignored whether she had washed it or not.
Within an hour, he tortured Kobe by 50 goals.
Kobe is still competitive, with a more calm and natural mentality than when he was young. He has accepted that Wei Xia is far stronger than himself, and the so-called bullfighting is just to cultivate sentiment.
"If I knew that this was the case for you this year, I would never have come!"
After playing the ball for an hour, both of them got tired of it and sat down to have a barbecue.
When Wei Xia heard Kobe's words, she not only wasn't angry, but also asked Kobe with the other party's words: "We have never had a large-scale injury before you come. I suspect you brought bad luck."
"Shit!"
"Pay attention to quality!" Wei Xia added, "And, after you left Los Angeles, the Lakers welcomed KD and Andre Drummond. Look, after you left, even the Lakers have turned their luck. I really shouldn't have won you over."
"Stop talking, you must bring your morale up!" Kobe asked Wei Xia, "You can't just fall into depression!"
Without Kobe's words, Wei Xia would do this.
Due to the departure of Holiday and others, and Robertson and Hayward's consecutive season reimbursement due to injuries, the prospects for the 76ers' title defense are no longer clear.
"You gave up your lifelong promise for the championship. If I didn't let you wear the sixth ring, would you blame me?" Wei Xia really wanted to know.
Upon hearing this, Kobe couldn't help rolling his eyes: "My brother! Don't blame me for destroying your chemistry then, I'll thank God, okay?"
It's so aggrieved that Wei Xia is really the kind of bad guy who shirks responsibility and turns the blame at will...
Wei Xia wanted to show anger, but when she thought of Kobe by her side, it might be possible. If the 76ers came to the first scapegoat in the Lakers history but didn't let him do what he was best at - taking the blame - then why did he come here?
