"His shoulder blade was slightly damaged, probably because of a contusion of the periosteum. Then, the teres major and teres minor muscles on his back were swelling, and a MRI was required in the specific situation. However, there was only one MRI in the entire Santa Barbara, so it might take some time to check it."

A doctor took an X-ray and a diagnostic report and said to the patients lying on the bed in the ward and relatives and friends standing around.

This patient is naturally Gan Guoyang. After hearing the doctor's words, he realized that he was really injured.

In the warm-up match on Friday, the Vikings lost their backbone after losing their backbone, and was hit hard by the Warriors. They finally lost to the Warriors with a score difference of 77:52 and 25 points at home.

On the one hand, this shows how important Gan Guoyang is to the Vikings, and on the other hand, it also leads to coach Bellmann being more anxious than Gan Guoyang's father.

"Hey, Gan, why didn't you tell me your injury earlier? The winning or losing of this game doesn't matter, but if the Vikings lose you, we'll be nothing." Belmann has said similar things no less than 20 times.

"Sorry, Mr. Bellman, I didn't expect that the rugby game would hurt my back. I only played for more than ten seconds..." Gan Guoyang also said this no less than 20 times.

"Damn Hawkins! I really want to..." Bellman wanted to be rough again, but after looking at Gan Guoyang's relatives around him, he held it down. Otherwise, Hawkins would have been analed ten thousand times today.

Gan Guoyang's father Gan Youwei blinked his eyes at his son and his coach. He couldn't understand what they said. Gan Youwei basically never left Chinatown when he went to the United States, and his English level basically reached the level of sixth grade in Chinese primary schools.

However, seeing that his son was not seriously injured, he felt relieved when he saw that he had suffered a little back injury.

At that time, Gan Youtang received a call from the school, telling Gan Youwei that something happened in Gan Guoyang was really scared away. He put down the pot in his hand and rushed to the school hospital with Qian Hui. Only then did he find that his son was just a little injured during the competition.

For Gan Youwei now, his son is everything to him. If his son is gone, he will lose the meaning of living.

"Guoyang, take good care of your injuries. As long as you are fine, it doesn't matter what you do." Gan Youwei just hopes that his son will be safe and sound.

"Oh, and also, Qian Hui, thank you. I took me to Guoyang School and sent Guoyang to such a good hospital."

"It's nothing. The sports medicine at Santa Barbara General Hospital is also well-known throughout the United States. And my friend also works here." Qian Hui, as a barrister with a high social status, has very rich social resources.

"And this guy Youtang is a little stubborn English and doesn't hear clearly, which makes you worry so much." Gan Youtang's English level is not very good. The teacher who called the school was speaking faster. After a long time, he only knew that something happened in Gan Guoyang. He couldn't understand what happened and how big the matter happened, but he scared his cousin to death.

"Ahui, you guys talk first. I have other patients, so I will leave first. In the afternoon, I will come to see his condition and give him some physical therapy." The person who spoke was the attending physician of Gan Guoyang and Qian Hui's classmate.

"No problem, Old Cat, I'll treat you to dinner tonight."

"Don't call me Lao Cat!" It is obvious that Lao Cat was the nickname of this doctor when he was a student.

"OK, goodbye Miaomiao."

……………………

Because Gan Guoyang was not seriously injured, what was needed was observation and rest. So after listening to the doctor's diagnosis and accompanying Gan Guoyang for a while, Gan Youwei, Qian Hui and Bellman left the hospital and stayed in Gan Guoyang alone at Santa Barbara General Hospital.

Anyway, he didn't have any serious illness or injuries to his legs and feet. Except for not being able to exercise vigorously, everything in his body was the same as usual.

It was already Saturday morning. Gan Guoyang couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when he looked at the ward that had become empty in an instant.

Yesterday afternoon, after being sent to the school hospital by a team doctor, the doctor gave him a simple physiotherapy, but the effect was not very good, and the doctor did not dare to treat him casually.

Later, his father and cousin came to school with him. Cousin immediately decided to send Gan Guoyang to the hospital in Santa Barbara. She said that sports medicine there was the best in California, and that her good friend and classmate worked as a doctor in the exercise injury department here.

Gan Youwei naturally couldn't say anything, so he agreed with this suggestion.

The two immediately took Gan Guoyang back to San Francisco and flew from San Francisco International Airport to Santa Barbara.

That night, Qian Hui opened a single ward for Gan Guoyang at Santa Barbara General Hospital and invited his good friend, the hospital's attending doctor, came to consult him.

The next day, coach Bellman also flew from San Francisco to Santa Barbara. As soon as the game ended yesterday, he went to the school hospital to look for Gan Guoyang, but the medical staff said he had gone to Santa Barbara.

Bellman said he understood how terrible the injury is for a basketball player, for both the plane and the Santa Barbara Hospital.

What's more, Gan Guoyang is just a high school student. Once hidden dangers are left, this may have a fatal impact on his future sports life.

Gan Guoyang also regretted his recklessness. At this time, he remembered McGrady in later generations. It was his back injury that ruined this genius. His teammate Yao Ming also gave him a big injury as a minor injury and a minor injury as a non-injury, and finally he regretted retirement early.

Now Gan Guoyang can only stay in the hospital ward obediently and sit on the bed, and cannot lie down due to back pain.

This single room has all kinds of daily necessities, including refrigerators, TVs, and air conditioners. As long as you have food, you can stay here, it is quite comfortable.

The only regret is that the nurses here are not very beautiful, all of them are aunts over 35 years old. Gan Guoyang has discovered that in the United States, nurses and flight attendants, are both aunts taking responsibility for them, and instantly makes him feel that life has lost a lot of fun.

Fortunately, there is basketball.

Yesterday, October 30, the NBA regular season kicked off, with a total of ten games on the first day, among which the Golden State Warriors went to the Denver Plateau to challenge the Denver Nuggets away, and lost to the Nuggets 121:134.

Today, the Warriors are going to return to Oakland's home court to welcome the Utah Jazz, the former visitor of the plateau. Gan Guoyang was originally planning to watch this game, but now he is in Santa Barbara, and the scene will not be available. There will definitely be no live broadcasts for the two weak teams in this way.

Gan Guoyang picked up the newspaper placed on the bedside table and flipped into the sports page. Today, the front page headline of the basketball section is the opening game of the NBA on the first day, and the cover character on the front page is the Houston Rockets' No. 24 center, Moses Malone.

Gan Guoyang looked at this guy with a round head and a little hunched back in the image. It is hard to imagine that he scored 36 points in his 6-foot-10 game against the Los Angeles Lakers yesterday, leading the Rockets against two overtime hard battles and defeating the powerful Los Angeles Lakers away.

The match against Moses Malone is the Lakers' super center, the 7-foot-2-height "Tian Gate" Jabbar.

After reading this report, Gan Guoyang couldn't help but sigh, how did this Moses Malone, who was only 6-foot-10, face Kareem, who was so much taller than him, scored 36 points and led the team to defeat the Lakers?

Of course, Gan Guoyang didn't know that in the playoffs last season, Moses Malone led the Rockets to defeat defending champion Los Angeles Lakers in the first round and reached the finals. In that series, Malone averaged 31 points per game.

After watching the sports version, Gan Guoyang flipped through other versions, most of which were talking about the problems of the US economic crisis in 1981, with some alarmist remarks.

But for Gan Guoyang, who had later experience, this was nothing. He knew that these crises were safe, unless his arrival changed history. But he was just a high school student who played basketball, what impact would it have on the economic crisis?

In this way, he frivolously flipped through the newspaper and turned on the TV to watch it, but this 17-inch color TV really made him feel uncomfortable.

I stayed up until lunch and after lunch, the attending doctor finally came to check his condition.

When I first arrived at the hospital yesterday, what surprised Gan Guoyang was that the attending doctor of the sports injury department of Santa Barbara Hospital, the good friend of cousin "Master Qian", turned out to be a woman, and she was a Chinese.

Her name is Shui Miao, and her very unique name is Ohio State University-graduate from sports medicine. Later, she went to the University of Southern California to study for a master's degree in medicine and a doctorate. It just so happened that Qian Hui studied for a doctorate in law at the University of Southern California. Although the two were a teenager apart, they became good friends.

"Good afternoon, Forrest Gump, lie on the bed, I'll give you some physical therapy." Shui Miao acted directly after coming in, and she was still very busy.

"Okay, old...Doctor Shui Miao." Gan Guoyang almost imitated Qian Hui to call her old cat.

Because Qian Hui usually calls Shui Miao Miao Miao Miao, and it looks very similar to the cat's meow, so she gave her a nickname "Kitten". Now Shui Miao is in her 30s, so she naturally turns from a kitten to an old cat.

"What do you want to shout? Be careful that I will make your injury worse!"

Gan Guoyang didn't dare to talk too much, so he immediately took off his shirt and lay on the bed. However, he thought to himself that the doctor was not young, so why did he have the same temper as a child?

But to be honest, it is really difficult to make Gan Guoyang believe that Shui Miao is already in his 30s.

Judging from her appearance and figure, it makes people feel that she is only about 25, even though she is wearing a white coat, she can't show any figure.

At this time, seeing Gan Guoyang lying down, Shui Miao took out a small jar from the medical alley she carried with her. There was some blue viscous liquid inside. Shui Miao poured a little out of it and applied it to Gan Guoyang's injured part.

Then she started to massage the injured area gently with her hands wearing leather gloves and applied the liquid.

Even with a layer of rubber, Gan Guoyang could feel Shui Miao's soft hands, and the cold liquid made him feel goosebumps.

"What, is it cold?" Shui Miao asked.

"One thing, what is this?" Gan Guoyang asked curiously.

"You don't understand even if you say it." Shui Miao was too lazy to explain to him.

"..." Gan Guoyang was speechless to this beautiful doctor in his 30s. However, her Chinese is really surprisingly good, just like those who have lived in China since childhood.

Not only is she good at Chinese, but her medical skills also seem to be great, because in a short while he felt that the tension on his back was eliminated a lot.

In fact, this similar physiotherapy method greatly relieved McGrady's back pain in later generations, although it did not completely cure him in the end. The famous Dr. Carter who healed McGrady was also a graduate of Ohio University and was Shui Miao's junior brother.

After more than ten minutes of massage and physical therapy, Gan Guoyang felt much more comfortable on his back and was in a good mood. He was stopped by Shui Miao just as he was about to get up.

"Lying on for a while! Don't move casually!"

Gan Guoyang could only lie on the bed like a toad. It is said that the customer is God, but in the hospital, the doctor is God. Who makes the patient's customer's fortune and life in the hands of the doctor?

After Shui Miao left, it took a while before Gan Guoyang got up and sat on the bed.

But what should we do next? Gan Guoyang knew that there would be an NBA game broadcast by local TV stations at 7 o'clock Pacific time, which was San Diego vs. Houston Rockets. Gan Guoyang really wanted to see the Rockets' Moses? Malone was so powerful.

But now there are still several hours before 7 o'clock. Could it be that I am staying in the ward like a stone?

Gan Guoyang decided to go out for a walk and see the style of Santa Barbara City.

……………………

Santa Barbara is located on the Pacific coast of Southern California and is a satellite city in Los Angeles.

This is not a metropolis, but a small city with tourism and catering as its main business. There are many Spanish and Mexican-style buildings, and parks and green spaces all over the city, making it a very suitable place to live.

However, Gan Guoyang did not have the opportunity to stroll in the city. As a patient, the maximum range of activities he was allowed was in the Oak Park near the hospital.

In fact, for patients like Gan Guoyang who can run away, eat and drink, the ward is actually just a hotel, and it doesn’t matter how long he has been wandering outside. But as an outside patient, the doctor was still worried that he would get lost, so he limited him to walk around Oak Park.

Oak Park is not big, narrow and long, with a small river passing through the garden, and the entire garden is full of oak trees. Walking in it feels like a fairy tale world.

An important purpose of Gan Guoyang coming here is to see if there is a basketball court here. Although he cannot play basketball with his right hand for the time being, he still has his left hand!

Unfortunately, after a long walk, I searched all over the east and west of Hebei, and only found one parking lot and two tennis courts.

He also found that there were many large houses and villas around Oak Park. It seemed that there were many rich people living near this park.

As Gan Guoyang turned around, he came to the tennis court by the river. There was a large open space here. Gan Guoyang thought that he might be able to practice dribbling here in the future.

At this time, Gan Guoyang saw a figure wandering among the trees on the edge of the river, which was already very close to the river.

Gan Guoyang felt nervous: "Isn't this guy trying to jump into the river?"

He quickly walked slowly towards the man and gradually approached. Through the gaps in the oak forest, he saw from the side that this guy should be a black man, wearing a blue shirt and black trousers, with an explosive head that is very popular nowadays.

Gan Guoyang could see that he seemed to be worried because Gan Guoyang was quite close to him, but he still lingered by the river with his head down.

Finally, Gan Guoyang's footsteps alarmed the black man. He turned his face to look at Gan Guoyang, and Gan Guoyang also looked at him.
