181: American Hero

Rachel was sent to the local St. Maria Hospital in Satemento that night. After examination, he found that Rachel's soft tissue was seriously sprained in the ankle, and the joints were also displaced, so he needed to recuperate for at least one month. Although the ankle was not required to undergo surgery, stitches were required inside the mouth, because he bit a hole about four centimeters of his lower lip. Because the internal tissue was damaged, stitches were required.

When the doctors who were sewing stitches learned that Rachel chose to self-harm because of her resistance to fatigue, they couldn't help but feel awe. Rachel's position in their hearts suddenly increased. The heroes in Americans' hearts were probably Rachel, so what can be guaranteed is that after the sewing stitches, Rachel's loyal admirers were at least ten more.

After sewing the needle, having some physical therapy on the ankle, and after taking pictures and putting on thick protective gear, Rachel was staying in the hospital that night.

The Kings eventually lost their home game. At the post-match press conference, the Kings generals expressed their longing for Rachel and their admiration for Rachel's professional attitude. At the same time, they also made a guarantee that they must advance to the second round in the absence of Rachel.

Adelman said: Doug Rachel is the most tenacious player among the players I have ever taught. He always keeps passionate. He often plays forty-eight minutes in one game, and at the 48th minute, he works harder than the first minute. All the players are infected by him. On the court, he is the best leader I have ever met, and he does better than his cousin Chris. Although he is only nineteen years old now, I think the future of the league belongs to him. In addition, although we temporarily lost Doug, I think our players will definitely unite, play wonderful games, win, and advance to the second round.

Bobby Jackson said: Yes, I had conflicts with him before, and I thought he was not qualified to be the leader of Sartmento. I thought so until two hours ago, but when I saw him swallowing the blood from his mouth, I suddenly felt that I was wrong. He was indeed qualified to be the leader of Sartmento, and I was Bobby Jackson, even if I had a much older experience than him. But I was convinced, because I thought I didn't have the courage to continue fighting after a afternoon of trouble, and bit my lips,

Use pain to drive away fatigue and use pain to stimulate nerves. Just now, news came from the hospital that Doug Rachel had eleven stitches inside her lower lip, eleven stitches! What is this number? That is to say, the wound inside his lips is at least about five centimeters long and about one centimeter deep. I think I can't do it, so I am convinced by Doug Rachel, he is a hero. As for those who say that we will not win if we lose Doug Rachel, you are optimistic. The total score is only 2 to 2 now, and we will definitely unite to achieve the final victory.

Brad Miller: I don't want to have any interviews right now, I just want to go to the hospital to see my brother, yes, he's like my little brother.

Michael Bibby: I don’t want to give any interviews now, I just want to go to the hospital to see my brother, thank you!

Kenny Thomas: I don’t want to give any interviews now, I just want to go to the hospital to see my brother, thank you!

Kevin Martin: I don’t want to accept any interviews now, I just want to go to the hospital to see my elder brother, thank you!

The other players who did not attend the press conference all took a shower very quickly, then quickly walked out of the arena and drove to the San Maria Hospital. Even Stojakovic was no exception, because Doug Rachel's "failed game" conquered everyone's hearts, and the warriors should be respected by people, right?

When they drove a row of bustling cars to St. Maria Hospital, there were already fifty or sixty fans outside the hospital who were about to die. Below, yelling, 'Come on Prince! Come on Prince!'. Brad Miller and others hurried to comfort the young fans and hurriedly go home quickly and tell them that Rachel's injury was not serious. Under the persuasion of several players, a group of rebellious teenagers of seventeen or eighteen decided to give up crying down in the building and went home dejectedly. For them, the injury to their idol was simply unacceptable.

After the group of teenagers left, several people quickly went upstairs, and after asking Rachel's room number from the doctor, they rushed to Rachel's single hospitalization room.

After entering the hospital room, I found that Rachel was hanging potions, probably glucose or something. After all, Rachel's physical strength had been almost exhausted during the game.

When Rachel saw that his teammate was coming, she quickly got up and wanted to speak, but found that her lips were swollen and almost couldn't speak, so she had to vaguely say a simple word: "Sit, sit!"

Brad Miller and others were happy when they saw Rachel's mouth swollen like a pig's head, and swept away the haze just now. Since Rachel's mouth had not yet swelled, everyone did not communicate much. After giving a few instructions and making a few assurances that Rachel could relieve her, everyone scattered like birds and beasts. When they left, Kevin Martin placed Rachel's bag brought from the locker room next to Rachel.

As soon as Brad Miller left, Bobby Jackson, Adelman and team manager Petri rushed over, expressed condolences to Rachel, chatted for a while, and left.

Then, Eddie limped over. Since Rachel could not speak, the two brothers only communicated through gestures or eyes. That night Eddie stayed in the hospital without leaving. Although more than ten years of suffering have caused Rachel to lose a lot, it has also made Rachel gain a lot. In addition to her perseverance, it is the friendship between the two brothers.

Early the next morning, Rachel was woken up by the ringtone of her cell phone. When she saw that Erin Andrews hesitated for a while, then pressed the answer button.

"Hey, I heard you had eleven stitches in your mouth, right?" Erin Andrews was straightforward and said her most concerned issue.

"Yes!" After a night of cultivation, Rachel's speech was still no longer a problem, although it hurts a little.

"Have you broken up?" What women care about the most is their appearance.

"No, it's sewn inside, and it's not worn!" Rachel said angrily.

"Now you've become a heroic figure, you know?" Erin Andrews teased.

"I don't know." Rachel answered truthfully.

"You are still headlines in all newspapers today, but today you praise you more than criticize news. Because they think you are a hero, an American hero!" Erin Andrews said truthfully.

"They finally realized it." Rachel was also happy. In front of Erin Andrews, he always liked to tease, but not the kind of lover-like teasing.

"Don't be too happy too early. I think they will definitely resume hacking you in a few days, because hacking you can make money. This is the consensus in the news industry." Although Erin Andrews retorted in a teasing tone, he also told the truth.

"This is good news for me, because someone told me that no news is the worst news, and the worst news is often the best news."

"The person who said this must be a businessman!"

"You guessed it, I think I have to hang up the phone because the doctor came over to check it out."

"By bye, I wish you a speedy recovery. Because NBA will be boring without you."

"Bye-Bye!"

After hanging up the phone, the doctor came over to ask a few questions and gave Rachel a very optimistic news that Rachel's ankle injury would not affect his sports life.

After chatting for a few more words, the doctor ran to other wards to check the room. As soon as the doctor left, the phone rang again. He glanced at the old man and quickly pressed the answer button.

"Doug, let me tell you a good news. Our shoes are out of stock again. You kid is indeed a topic-making machine. I signed you and it was true that we did not sign wrong. Our share in the North American basketball shoe market has increased by nearly one percentage point." The old man was very excited and did not care about Rachel's injuries at all.

"Aren't you going to care about my injuries?" Rachel teased.

"Tsk, almost all newspapers now report your injuries. You just want to take the opportunity to rest for a half month, make a fortune, and cheat a few more tears. Don't think I don't know." The old man teased, it turns out that this old man can't hold anything justice in his head. He is full of thieves and prostitutes, probably talking about people like the old man!

"Now the newspapers outside are promoting me as a hero?" Rachel asked.

"Yes, your injury last night successfully turned you into an American hero, and at the same time, our shoe sales increased a lot. Stern was also playing the scenes before and after you were injured on NBATV, and made a collection of your teammates and doctor's words, and put them on NBATV to play them in turn. Under his publicity, your reputation reached another peak. If you didn't see the profits NBA received, I would really think of David Stern's missing on the one of the people's own sons." The old man was full of words and was not in a good position.

"Go to you!" The old man was 'disrespectful to the elders', and Rachel naturally had 'disrespectful to the elders'.

"By the way, come to Los Angeles next week and we'll shoot a new ad."

"But my injury has not healed yet."

"It's just that you have to take pictures if you don't heal your injury, which will make it timely and shocking." The old man taught earnestly.

"Brave businessman! Even the wounded must be used!" Rachel cursed.

"Yes, I am indeed a profiteer. I am now building you into a profiteer. Haha, that's it, a little profiteer!" The old man hung up the phone very casually.

Rachel laughed and scolded the "old gangster", then threw her phone aside and cut her nails boredly...
