At the end of the All-Star Weekend, each team is planning to make a strong effort to fight the playoffs. The Pacers, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly fired a heavyweight shell: "Arthur was reimbursed for the season with his right heel spur."

A short sentence shocked the entire league.

They have countless questions and no answers.

"Today is April Fool's Day?"

"I now know why Arthur played like he was preparing to become a monk a while ago."

"It seems that he has been playing with the bone spurs for a while? It's too messy!"

"The Pacers are really finished this time!"

Xie Hou had defeated countless opponents and suddenly suffered a disaster, but no one showed gloating.

His opponents expressed blessings and regrets through various channels, and even James, who was in a brutal state, said: "The league has lost the brightest scenery."

"This is the last thing I want to see. He should be defeated by me, rather than being lying on the operating table and being declared reimbursed for the season!" Kobe expressed his opinion.

Xie Jun said nothing, he called Xie Hou and asked about some information.

When the incident spread, all parties were shocked.

The captains of the eastern teams vented their anger, and no matter what, the Pacers lost their climate.

At least this season is gone.

The Western Conference teams are worried about their respective rankings, and they are more regretful and unexpected about Xie Hou's reimbursement season. They were fine a few days ago, but they were suddenly eliminated. What's this?

The one who was most panicked was Xie Hou’s teammates.

In the winter of 2003, Xie Hou joined the team.

He is the most stable player in 11 years.

In 2004-2005, he encountered the Auburn Palace incident and he survived alone.

Since 2007, Pacers have been injured continuously, and he has shown his courageous performance to ensure that Pacers are competitive.

After 2008, he maintained the highest attendance rate every year, with earth-shaking performance, and watched alone for three years before dawning.

He should have taken all his strength to chase the second three consecutive championships.

If he wins another championship, he can surpass Michael Jordan and become the real number one person.

There may be countless Jordan fans saying that his influence is not as good as Jordan.

Influence cannot be quantified, it cannot be proved by statistics, it is a thing that comes with your mouth.

Honors are genuine.

As long as the honor exceeds it, he is the number one person in the field of basketball.

"You guys don't have to worry, I'm fine, I have the best experts in the United States to operate on me, and I'll be back in my best condition."

"But you guys, don't know how to play just because I'm missing."

"Take some championship momentum, even in order not to make people laugh at you, you must fight with all your might and prove it to those who laugh at you. Before the end of the season, we are still the defending champions!"

After saying that, Xie Hou left in a wheelchair.

It looks a bit funny, but he is still concerned about the team and comes without organizing the language.

Next he will fly to New York for surgery.

Xie Hou's 2013-2014 season ended early.

He played 43 games, averaging 22.8 points, 9.4 rebounds, 8.7 assists, 1.7 steals and 2.1 blocks per game.

He will cut off the record of being selected for the All-Squad for nine consecutive seasons, he will cut off the record of being selected for the Double First Team for seven consecutive years, and he will miss the last chance to create three consecutive championships in his career.

One injury made him miss too many.

February 18, 2014

Xie Hou was lying on the operating table, and the nurse was about to push him into the operating room.

Except for Xie Jun, his family was present.

Parents, sister, Xuewei and two children.

Xie Hou nodded gently, reassuring them that even if the operation failed, he would be pushed out alive.

In recent days, he has cut off his ties with the outside world and has thought about many things.

There are many things he never thought about.

If the operation is successful, what is his goal? Active recovery? Or passive recovery? Anyway, he has won all the honors he deserves to win.

He is 34 years old and suffers from a season-reimbursed injury. When he returns next season, he is almost 35 years old. Will he still have to fight for an average of one trophy a year?

Also, when will he fight?

For the first time in his life, he thought of retirement.

If the operation fails, will he retire?

It’s a pity that a generation of geniuses retired, right? He didn’t even have a retirement tour!

He longs for John Haverchick, Dr. J and Michael Jordan-style retirement tour.

He hopes that when he announces that xx is his last season, fans will spontaneously come to say goodbye to him on the spot and miss him through various slogans.

He hopes that he conquered not only Indiana fans, but also fans from other regions.

These days, he really thought too much.

Apart from thinking, there is nothing else, no contact with reality, no chat with people, and no time to read books.

He closed his eyes, and at this moment, immersed in the fantasy world.

His own world is alone, and even Xuewei and his children cannot get in. He is the only one in it.

The world he is in is filled with his chattering and crazy thoughts and thoughts, which appear continuously and infinitely, as if to make him understand the importance of those things.

For the first time, he found that living in his own world was not boring, thinking was necessary, and if he didn't think, he would be overwhelmed when problems came, just like he had heard the doctor say he was reimbursed for the season.

If he was ready early, he would not lose his composure.

It is beneficial to think appropriately.

Has the surgery not begun?

He thought to himself.

Xie Hou still closed his eyes and did not see the doctor.

Xie Hou's heart became more and more calm, and he gradually thought about his past. He played basketball, why did he play basketball, why did he play basketball desperately, and why he was still worried about things that could not be affected even when he was injured.

His love for basketball is almost crazy, making him willing to give, sacrifice, and even self-destruct.

It was this experience that made him realize that his love for basketball was so deep.

Not only to pursue honor and historical status, he really doesn't want to not play basketball for more than half a year, which is even more uncomfortable than killing him.

What's even more uncomfortable is that one day he will say goodbye to basketball and competition.

He can't play a game for a lifetime.

Thinking of this, he had a split headache and wanted to get up and rush into the bathroom to wake up.

Well, has the surgery not started yet?

Since the operation had not started, he had to continue thinking.

His mind was becoming confused, and he didn't know how long he could stay awake.

Xie Hou thought that for the next period of time, the Pacers would be forced to play a competition without him.

He was like a parent watching his child walk out of home to go to college.

Parents who love to worry about their children being bullied outside, worry about their children not being able to eat well, not having enough sleep, not having warm clothes, or doing some stupid things wrong.

Because they are not around, the child loses control.

Xie Hou thought, maybe he could take this opportunity to show people how much the walker needs him.

Let everyone see how bad the Walkers are without me, King Arthur.

The dark side in his heart only stayed for a few seconds, and he knew that he would rather see those guys overcome difficulties, break through obstacles, and embark on a brilliant road, even though hope was slim.

Xie Hou felt very sorry and it ended like that.

No matter how good a player is, he will only have a career of 20 years at most.

In modern society, the average life expectancy of human beings is gradually increasing, and 20 years is only one-digit part of life.

Xie Hou lost a year.

He regrets that he cannot accompany the team. If he is in the playoffs, there is a lot of potential, and the young people who feel that they are old and unfair will be stunned, just like the Clippers.

This is a disaster...

Xie Hou's consciousness was being bound by some external forces, and his perception disappeared.
