Chapter 1 Injuries will only make me stronger

NewYork-Presbyterian Columbia and Cornell University Hospital New York Hospital for Special Surgery.

Founded in 1863, this is the oldest and most professional orthopedic specialty hospital in the United States. Its professionalism is even higher than that of the Mayo Clinic.

Li Ran opened his eyes in confusion. The first thing he saw was his right leg hanging high and in a plaster. Then the pungent smell of disinfectant poured into his nose, irritating him and sneezing.

"You woke up and the operation was successful. Because you are still young, it will take about 22-30 weeks to recover. After you are fully recovered, you can live like a normal person, but your career should end here.

.”

A black doctor wearing a green coat, a doctor's hat, and a pair of glasses held a hard-cover book and said to him expressionlessly.

As the most authoritative doctor in this hospital regarding ligaments, he has seen too many such talented people who died in the middle of the journey. To him, Li Ran is just an ordinary one among them, so he said this to Li Ran incomparably

Cruel words mean no pressure.

"What kind of dream is this?" Li Ran looked at the black doctor in confusion, and then groaned in pain from the severe pain near his right leg and ankle.

"Don't move around. The anesthesia time has just passed. You may be in pain for a while. If the pain is unbearable, I can give you more painkillers." The nurse next to him quickly stepped forward to comfort Li Ran and wanted him to lie down again.

Li Ran simply lay on the bed and closed his eyes.

Endless memories flooded into my mind.

"Really traveled through time?"

I don't know how long it took for Li Ran to truly integrate the memories that originally belonged to this body.

Li Ran, who has the same name as him in this time and space, is the recipient of a full athletic scholarship from the University of Memphis. He was a basketball star known to everyone in Chicago when he was in high school. He even led Damien High School to an undefeated record for two consecutive years.

Won the Illinois state championship. He has a fierce playing style and excellent physical fitness. He was named the best high school player in the state for two consecutive years and is known as a combination of James and Wade.

But if nothing else, Li Ran still had an accident.

In the first training session at the university, Li Ran, who was eager to show off himself, started the training match without sufficient warm-up.

Then he became tragic.

After a few rounds of fighting, and without any resistance, Li Ran's right leg went weak and he fell to the floor. He then covered his right leg and howled incessantly.

The University of Memphis, which attached great importance to Li Ran, immediately sent him to the Big Apple City, 1,500 kilometers away, after a simple examination, to the No. 1 orthopedic hospital in the United States.

But the results haven't changed.

Right Achilles tendon rupture.

The dream of a new basketball star fell into the mud just after it started.

"What kind of start is this..." Li Ran smiled bitterly.

"The patient has woken up. You can go in and see him, but you can only visit him for ten minutes. The patient has just completed the operation and needs adequate rest." A nurse whispered instructions from outside the door.

"OK."

After that, a tall black boy pushed open the door and walked into the ward.

Looking at that sharp-edged face with short hair close to his scalp, a face that was extremely familiar no matter in his previous life or in this life, Li Ran's face showed a smile from the bottom of his heart.

"Hey, Bear!"

Little Bear was a nickname given to him by his grandmother, and only his family and closest friends could call him that.

But Li Ran, who we have played with since childhood, can certainly be considered one of them.

After he was injured, he accompanied Li Ran all the way to New York until Li Ran successfully completed the operation.

At this time, the little bear whose nickname and appearance didn't match at all had a sad face.

"Brother, are you okay?"

His eyes were a little red, and he had obviously cried secretly outside.

"To be honest, at the moment of injury, I felt like my brain was blank, but then I thought about it, failure always runs through life, this is life. Besides, it was just a ruptured Achilles tendon, Dominic Wilkins

Aren’t you also recovering from a ruptured Achilles tendon?”

Li Ran thought for a while, and instead of complaining, he said with hope.

Now it was Li Ran who was comforting Little Bear.

But his heart was filled with sadness.

The Best of Human Movies is the only exception in so many years. Whether it is Kobe, Cousins, Isaiah Thomas or Durant, they have not fully returned to their peak form after recovering from injuries, and Isaiah Thomas retired directly.

.

but.

Li Ran raised his head and looked quietly at his best brother who was standing in front of him with red eyes and a sad look on his face.

Compared with the suffering you will endure in the future, my injuries are nothing at all.

The future NBA No. 1 pick, the youngest MVP winner, and the eternal Rose of the Windy City.

Derrick Rose!

I don’t know if the timeline has been changed or something, but in this life, Li Ran and Ross grew up together. The two went to elementary school and middle school together, and they have been dominating the Illinois high school basketball world in high school. They are called the Illinois Twins.

star.

When we graduated from high school, we also received full scholarships from the University of Memphis and agreed to come here together.

Moreover, both of them have excellent athletic talents, but their division of labor on the court is slightly different.

"We're going to win a state championship, an NCAA championship, and an NBA championship together, right?"

In the memory that Li Ran is not very familiar with now, Rose was lying with him on the lawn by the river, his green face full of ambition and confidence that was not commensurate with his age.

Although Li Ran has not experienced that memory personally, it seems that Li Ran can still smell the fragrant smell of grass.

"certainly."

Next to the winding river, Li Ran, holding a blade of grass in his mouth, also said with a smile.

Two teenagers, one with yellow skin and one with dark skin, made heartfelt heroic speeches on the bank of this unknown river.

Thinking of those young and frivolous years, and looking at his friends in front of him, Li Ran temporarily forgot that he was still lying in the hospital bed.

After entering the University of Memphis, although the semester has just started, the two have already been determined to be the absolute core of the University of Memphis Tigers.

Together with another NCAA star player, Chris Douglas-Roberts, they will form a super perimeter combination that scares the entire NCAA to compete in this season's NCAA competition.

But thinking of Rose's brilliant but bumpy career after entering the NBA, the smile on Li Ran's face disappeared again.

Li Ran sighed in his heart, since he was reborn in this era, he didn't know how he could help Ross.

If he hadn't been injured, he might have entered the NBA with Rose, so please pay attention to him.

But now, I am suffering from a ruptured Achilles tendon, which is a devastating injury for any athlete.

"If I hadn't been injured, how strong would the three of me, Rose, and Roberts be? If I could enter the NBA, how much could I grow?"

Looking at Ross who looked melancholy, Li Ran thought silently in his heart.

The two chatted for a while, each had something on their mind and both seemed absent-minded.

After a while, the door to the ward opened.

"Visiting hours are over."

The nurse appeared at the door with a cold face.

Ross patted the back of Li Ran's hand.

"I'm leaving first, Li. You can rest in peace and recover."

"Our hopes now all rest on you alone. Come on, little bear." Li Ran forced a smile and said to Rose.

With a muffled sound of the door closing, Li Ran lay down on the bed, staring blankly at the white ceiling.

"The system is starting."

"1%...2%..."

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from Li Ran's mind.

"who?"

Li Ran was shocked.

No one answered, but Li Ran was convinced that what he had just experienced was not a hallucination.

Because a slowly moving progress bar was slowly creeping forward in his consciousness.

"What's this?"

Li Ran watched the progress bar slowly grow, feeling surprised and happy.

As a time traveler, how can I not have some golden fingers?

After a long wait, the progress bar finally reached the end.

As if a thunderbolt fell in his mind, Li Ran's whole body was shocked. A golden curtain slowly unfolded, and a line of large characters appeared in it.

"Injuries only make me stronger."

"Bound host: Li Ran."

"Start binding sports events."

“Looking for and hosting the sports closest to you.”

"It is detected that the host's best sport is basketball, and it has a close relationship with NBA player Derrick Rose and the host. Binding sport: basketball."

"System startup."

Then, Li Ran's simulated image appeared on the screen, holding a basketball in his hand and looking high-spirited.

On the other side, are his current attributes.

"Li Ran, 18 years old"

"Height: 193 cm (199 cm), wingspan: 217 cm (221 cm), weight: 85 kg"

"Sports: Strength: 73, Speed: 91 (56), Agility: 83 (45), Jump: 93 (48), Endurance: 81"

"Organization: Vision: 35, Passing: 38"

"Defense: Inside defense: 44, outside defense: 57, assist defense: 66, blocks: 68, steals: 55"

:Ability value: 56(67)”

"Status: Achilles tendon rupture (149 days)."

"Skill: None."

"Rating: NCAA elite player."

Li Ran looked at his attributes and was speechless for a long time.

Because he grew up with Rose since he was a child, he naturally learned a lot of basketball skills from his three brothers along with Rose. The two started formal basketball training very early.

"How do I grow this attribute and how do I feel so crooked?"

The physical fitness of Licu Memin is top -level. The three -point and two -point projection capacity is also excellent from the perspective of NCAA. In addition, it is good for internal and external defense and breakthrough capabilities.

"My positioning is ... 3D Breakthrough?"

"But what is the red font in the brackets behind the spangle?" After a sentence, Li Ran buckled some small details in his attributes.

"It should be because the attribute is reduced because of injury ..." After thinking about it, Li Ran could only attribute this reason.
