Chapter 197 Return to Chicago

In the third game between the Suns and the Mavericks, Chen Yu thought twice and finally decided not to go.

Hardaway is in hot form and Ewing is back again. No matter how you calculate it, the chance of winning is greater.

Chen Yu made a plan in his mind that he would not go to this event on April 4th.

If we lose unexpectedly, I will go to Dallas in the fourth game on May 5st to see if I can help the team.

At the entrance of the medical center, Beckham leaned on his crutches and looked in the direction of the parking lot like a stone.

Chen Yu was also there, sitting on the bench outside the foyer, talking on the phone with David Stern.

"Okay, I will arrive in Chicago on time tomorrow to make preparations." After a brief chat, Chen Yu hung up the phone.

Chen Yu sent Brian another message, told him about the situation, and asked him if he wanted to go to Chicago together.

It's because of Yao Ming.

This time, because Yao Ming participated in the draft, Stern paid more attention than usual and specially prepared a separate trial training for Yao Ming.

The time is set for May 5st.

But Yao Ming will arrive in Chicago on the 29th.

Then on the 30th, he will undergo a formal physical examination.

What Stern meant was that Chen Yu should be responsible for this physical examination.

As the head of the league's player health management department and a well-known medical expert, Chen Yu is a natural choice.

Brian quickly responded and said yes.

Maybe because he was tired from standing, Beckham also sat down next to Chen Yu on crutches, and then said a little depressed: "Chen, I still can't figure out why Gary doesn't want to participate in the World Cup."

He had a sad look on his face.

After Chen Yu said that Neville would not be able to make it to the World Cup no matter what, Neville accepted it calmly.

Beckham couldn't accept it and had two good talks with Neville, but it didn't change Neville's attitude.

"I know him. He is very dedicated and a very responsible person. He is the most trustworthy defense line of our national team. Doesn't he feel regretful? This is the World Cup." Beckham's voice became louder.

Chen Yu raised his head and looked at Beckham.

After thinking for a while, Chen Yu asked a question: "David, why are you so determined to participate in this World Cup? You are also injured. You can recuperate for two months. There are legitimate reasons to miss this World Cup. I I think no one will say anything to you."

Injury is an accident, and there is nothing anyone can do if he is absent due to injury.

Beckham was stunned for a moment, frowned and thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and said: "Because I don't want the national team to lose because of me anymore."

He seemed to recall some bad memories, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Four years ago, because of my impulsiveness, I received a red card and was expelled from the stadium early. At that moment, my mind went blank. It can be said that the exit tunnel of the Godfrey Guicha Stadium was the key to my life. The longest road we have ever traveled.”

“After returning to the locker room, I still remember the empty locker room with no one there, only the roaring in my ears, and then we lost on penalty kicks, and everyone walked back to the locker room disappointed. "

"Before that day, I was the hero of England, but after that day, I was the sinner of England. In the newspapers, they said that we were 10 heroic lions and a stupid child. Yes, I was the stupid one. Boy, I was so stupid."

Beckham covered his face in pain.

Even though four years have passed, and even in last year's World Cup qualifiers, he has completed his self-salvation, it still feels like a nightmare when he mentions this matter.

"So I must participate in the World Cup and help the team." Beckham raised his head and looked at Chen Yu firmly.

Chen Yu reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and then said: "So you see, everyone's situation is different. Maybe you think you have to participate in the World Cup, but Neville is different. I know you are good friends, but You also have to respect his decision."

Neville's reaction at the time was strange. Thinking about it now, Chen Yu felt that maybe he was under too much pressure just to participate in the World Cup.

"The most important thing is that his injury is more serious than yours, and I can't let him come back before the World Cup."

Whatever the reason or idea, it doesn't matter. The most important thing is that even if he wants to come back, Chen Yu can't do anything about it.

Without even this prerequisite, there is no point in talking about other things.

Beckham gritted his teeth and wanted to say more. Chen Yu stood up and waved his hand in the distance.

He immediately stood up and turned around to look.

In the distance, a tall figure wearing a baseball jersey was walking this way.

Jordan!

At the end of the season, he gave himself a week off. He was probably injured. He was really uncomfortable and couldn't relax even if he wanted to. Jordan rushed to the clinic in advance to treat his knee.

"It's really Jordan." Beckham didn't care to talk about good brothers anymore. He stood up in excitement, even forgetting to use crutches.

Chen Yuxin said nonsense, how could it still be fake?

Handing the crutch to him, Chen Yu greeted him.

Jordan reached out and hugged Chen Yu, and then said: "Chen, tell me why I feel so uncomfortable when I see you."

Thinking about the training he did last year, Jordan couldn't help but shiver.

Chen Yu smiled and said: "It's simple, just see it twice more and you'll get used to it."

Jordan shook his head quickly, and then said: "Chen, I am a patient this time, you can't torture me anymore."

Chen Yu smiled and introduced Beckham to him.

"Mr. Jordan, nice to meet you." Beckham stretched out his hand cautiously. At this moment, he changed from a big star to a little fan.

"I know you."

Jordan's words made Beckham tremble with excitement.

But the next sentence made him stunned again.

"You have a beautiful wife."

Beckham looked at Jordan blankly, why did this sound so awkward?

Chen Yu also rolled his eyes silently.

Jordan also woke up immediately and said quickly: "Sorry, I mean... uh, just pretend I didn't say it."

Then he immediately changed the subject and asked where Lexi was and when Chen Yu would get married.

Chen Yu took the lead and walked to the medical center.

Obviously, Jordan has no interest in Beckham. Maybe he doesn't even know that Beckham is his fan.

Of course, the arrogant Jordan will not take Beckham's fame lightly.

After just a few words of conversation, Beckham stopped talking to him. Beckham looked disappointed and didn't even have a chance to ask for an autograph.

Chen Yu knew that he had prepared a Jordan's No. 23 jersey and wanted to ask Jordan to sign it.

But there should be opportunities in the future. Beckham wants to live next to Jordan. Chen Yu will naturally not refuse such a small request.

Jordan's knees are still a problem.

As you get older and engage in such high-intensity competitions, you will suffer from strain.

It's the offseason, and there's plenty of time to deal with his issues.

And this is why Chen Yu can't cure Neville. When the offseason comes, there will definitely be a large number of VIP customers coming to his door.

The various treatments are really not enough.

That night, Chen Yu watched the third game between the Suns and the Mavericks at home.

This game is crucial, the Mavericks are already standing on the edge of the cliff.

They fought extremely hard.

But their most fatal problem is still defense.

After watching the first two games, Chen Yu actually felt that teams with unbalanced offense and defense like the Mavericks and Kings really couldn't make it far in the playoffs.

It's too easy to be targeted by opponents. This is it.

The Mavericks tried their best to double-team Hardaway, trying to limit his scoring.

Skiles also made a targeted arrangement, which was to ask Olajuwon to help defend and double-team Nowitzki.

If you double-team my star player, then I will double-team yours, which is fair.

But to be honest, this is a bit redundant.

Ewing, who was suspended for one game and holding his breath, was able to restrain Nowitzki almost by himself.

Under his defense, Nowitzki made 19 of 5 shots and only scored 14 points.

In contrast, Hardaway, who was double-teamed, still relied on his personal ability to score 26 points efficiently and also sent 8 assists.

In terms of star quality, Hardaway is still better than Nowitzki.

Nash once again played inaccurately.

In other words, Nash did not perform well under Kidd's defense throughout the series.

6 of 2 in the game, 6 points and 4 assists, as if sleepwalking.

Of the three Musketeers in Dallas, only Finley performed well and still contributed 22 points.

94:86.

The Suns led the whole time and didn't give the Mavericks any chance.

After the game, the camera caught Nowitzki. He looked lonely, standing on the court with his hands on his hips, unwilling to leave the court for a long time.

He also glanced at Nash, whose eyes were a little wet and red, and his face was full of self-blame.

Chen Yu hugged Lexie a little tighter. Professional games and competitive sports can be so cruel sometimes.

"By the way, do you want to go to Italy on the 5th of next month?" Chen Yu asked in a low voice.

Lexie stirred and asked what to do.

"It's Ronnie."

On the 5th of next month, the final round of Serie A, Inter Milan will face Lazio.

Before this round of games, Juventus was clinging to Inter Milan in the standings, retaining the hope of eventually reversing Inter Milan and winning the league championship.

So if Inter Milan loses this game, the efforts of that season will be in vain.

However, Ronaldo was very confident, so he called Chen Yu specifically and wanted Chen Yu to go to the game to witness him win the Serie A championship for the first time.

Chen Yu was also hesitating whether to go.

Now that they have eliminated the Mavericks 3-0, the Kings should also be stable. The second round will probably start around the 5th.

Lexi pouted and said, "Go ahead. He is your friend after all. He will definitely be disappointed if you are not here on such an important day."

"disappointment?"

Chen Yuxin said that given Ronaldo's big-hearted nature, he would not necessarily be disappointed.

However, Moratti also contacted himself and wanted him to go.

"Sleep." Chen Yu picked up Lexi. He was going to Chicago tomorrow and needed to rest early.

The next day, the plane arrived in Chicago.

However, Chen Yu did not go to the hotel first. Instead, he asked the league official responsible for receiving them for a car and planned to drive home first.

"Chen, the Wood District is too chaotic. Please bring a security guard." Brian called out to Chen Yu.

On the plane, the two talked about Chen Yu's hometown.

Brian knew that Chen Yu's father was once a rugby player. He thought that Chen Yu's family was well off and asked if Chen Yu's hometown was in the Streeterville area.

Streeterville is considered a wealthy area of ​​Chicago.

Chen Yu said that when he was a child, he later lived in the Englewood area.

Moving from a rich area to a slum area is also a very tragic story.

Chen Yu wanted to say no, but Brian called a security guard to get in the car without waiting for Chen Yu to refuse.

Chen Yu also gave up, said no more, and drove on the road.

In fact, the neighborhood where my mother lives is a little better. It is located on the edge of the Wood District and is not that messy.

After getting rich, Chen Yu also asked his mother to move, but she was unwilling because she was used to living there.

The security guard's name was Sanders, who was tall and round, with a bulging waist. He drove a car and quickly arrived at the Wood area.

Crossing a railway bridge is like entering another world. As far as the eye can see, the dirt and mess are considered light.

But this is where Chen Yu grew up.

While I was thinking wildly, there was a crashing sound nearby, like the sound of glass being smashed.

The next moment, accompanied by the sound of dogs barking, several teenagers came out from the yard on the right and ran towards this side in embarrassment.

Suddenly, Sanders braked suddenly and hit one of the teenagers.

The remaining two people became even more panicked and fled in all directions.

And from the yard, a middle-aged man also rushed out, holding a double-barreled shotgun and roaring angrily.

"Chen, don't get out of the car. I'm going to take a look." Sanders got out of the car first and put his hands on his waist.

Chen Yu hesitated and got out of the car.

It seems that he bumped into the boy, and I don’t know what happened to him.

The middle-aged man rushed over with a gun in hand, but was persuaded to retreat by the tall Sanders, who pointed the gun at the young man on the ground and cursed.

"Compensation, right? I'll give it to you."

Chen Yu didn't want to cause trouble, so after hearing the middle-aged man just muttering about the teenager stealing his things and smashing the glass of his storage room, he directly offered to compensate him.

"Boy, if you come back next time, I will shoot you." The middle-aged man clutched a few bills given by Chen Yu and walked away with a smile.

Chen Yu then looked at the young man on the ground.

It was a black kid, about ten years old, holding his knees, blood seeping from the gaps between his fingers.

But it was probably a scratch. Chen Yu looked at it with his all-seeing eyes and found that the bones were fine.

He was wary and looked at Chen Yu anxiously.

Chen Yu sighed. There were too many young men like this in this area. Zeng Jin himself was also like this.

"By the way, what's your name?" Chen Yu reached out and pulled the boy up.

The boy was still wary, and suddenly begged: "Sir, please don't send me to the police station. I didn't mean it."

Chen Yu pointed to the trunk, asked Sanders to get the medical kit, and then motioned for the teenager to sit down on the roadside.

"Don't worry, I'm not a policeman, I'm a doctor. Sit tight and I'll help you with your knees. Otherwise, your parents will nag you again when you get home." Chen Yu pointed to his knees and arms and straightened up. A large scratch.

The young man said nothing and did not refuse.

Chen Yu quickly helped him deal with the scratch. After a moment of hesitation, he took out two more bills from his wallet and stuffed them into the boy's hands: "Don't steal anything next time."

But it is useless to say that there are a few children in this neighborhood who have better choices.

Turning around to get in the car, the young man walking away suddenly called Chen Yu again.

"Sir, thank you." The young man bowed to Chen Yu, and then said: "By the way, my name is Derrick Rose."
