Chapter 49 That fire that is missing!

In the early morning of the next day, the early morning sunlight slowly shone into the apartment through the window, and also shone on Yang Ke's face, which made him gradually regain consciousness.

7: 30!

Yang Ke reached out to touch the phone, turned on the screen, and looked at the time displayed on it with his hazy eyes.Then he threw the phone on the bedside table, stretched comfortably, yawned, and quickly changed his clothes.

"Morning!"

After changing his clothes and washing up, Yang Ke opened the door and walked out of the bedroom. The first time he saw Leonard who was busy packing his backpack with his head down, he was not surprised. He scratched his hair and said hello.

Without raising his head, he continued to put the training clothes in his backpack, Leonard said lightly, "You slept very comfortably last night."

"Okay."

Yang Ke nodded. After returning to the apartment after training last night, except for Jiang Gong and Bilibili who called him, no one disturbed him, and there was nothing that disturbed him, so the quality of sleep Still good.

Leonard nodded, and after packing his backpack, he stood up and said to Yang Ke, "That's good, pack your things quickly, our time is very tight."

"Ok!"

Yang Ke replied, and then quickly took out the equipment that will be used today, put it into the backpack, and he packed it up very quickly.

Then the two walked out of the apartment with backpacks on their backs, took a taxi to the training hall, first ate a nutritious breakfast in the restaurant opposite the training hall, and then entered the training hall to start training.

The two practiced for a while, and as the players arrived one after another, the Spurs gathered before the regular training. When Popovich appeared in the training hall, the players stood in a group consciously.

Standing casually in front of the crowd, Popovich with his hands behind his back, announced one thing lightly: "The road to Salt Lake City is too far, and after the game against the Jazz, we will challenge the Lakers away, so I decided to do this." For a game, we will take turns to rest a few people."

Following Popovich's announcement, Yang Ke and Leonard looked at each other with weird expressions. The Spurs' famous rotation is about to begin?Popovich has to ignore the league's fines and threats again, and find all kinds of strange reasons to rest players!

Popovich glanced at Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili in the crowd. Just as he was about to announce that the three of them would take a break, assistant coach Borrego walked up to him and said in a low voice, "Old man Jack has something urgent for you."

Popovich was surprised. Old Jack is an old employee of the Spurs. He has been in the Spurs longer than him. Although his job is not very important, he is just in charge of the keys to the training hall and arena. That's all.

But for the old Jack's dedication to the Spurs, his excellent character, and the selfless help he gave him in the early days of coaching, Popovich respects him very much.

So when he learned that Old Jack needed his own help, Popovich didn't even think about it, and directly interrupted his arrangement to announce the rotation personnel, and quickly said to everyone: "You guys train first, and I will announce it later."

Without stopping after speaking, Popovich turned quickly and walked towards his office on the second floor of the training hall.However, Borrego was allowed to stay and let him organize the team's regular training.

As Borrego assigned the training to begin, Yang Ke and Ginobili separated from the team, preparing to carry out Yang Ke's unique training method.

Naturally and proficiently doing warm-up exercises, Yang Ke thought of Popovich leaving in a hurry, and asked curiously: "Manu, what kind of emergency do you think the old naughty boy encountered?"

"Hard to say."

Sitting on his crotch and changing hands to dribble continuously, Ginobili shook his head, also a little curious in his heart. After staying in the Spurs for so many years, he rarely saw Popovich interrupting his work in such a hurry. Turn around and leave directly.

The two didn't talk any more on this topic, and soon after the two warmed up, they started the boring and monotonous training exercises.

When the whole team was training in an orderly manner, in the large training hall, apart from the sound of basketball slapping and sneakers rubbing against the floor, there was a burst of violent rage.

Everyone on the court was stunned. Although they couldn't hear the specific content of the outburst of fury, as long as they were members of the Spurs, they could all tell that the owner of the sound was Popovich, and it was also very clear. Realized that Popovich was really angry.

Frowning tightly, Borrego, who knew that Old Jack was looking for Popovich, was a little surprised. He handed over the work in hand to the second assistant coach, and then hurriedly left here and ran to the office.

"Yang, concentrate on it."

Controlling the ball, Ginobili could not help reminding Yang Ke, who was in a daze because of Popovich's rage that resounded throughout the arena.

"Oh well."

Yang Ke came back to his senses, thinking that he was still defending Ginobili's attack, he said quickly, with his arms open, suppressing the curiosity and surprise in his heart, and preparing to defend wholeheartedly.

At the same time, the players who participated in the collective confrontation training on the other side, under the joint adjustment of the assistant coach, Duncan and Parker, withdrew their minds one by one and continued to train.

But even in training, he could still hear Popovich's endless rage, and even Borrego's voice joined in behind, and the voice also contained anger.

The training was still going on, but even the three of GDP couldn't fully concentrate on the training at this time. Finally, when the break time came, the three of them looked at each other tacitly without taking a break, but went directly to the office on the second floor go.

But what they didn't expect was that the three of them left and didn't come back until lunch time. The only good news is that the angry voices didn't resound throughout the training hall.

"Leonard, do you think they have encountered any difficulties? Should we also go and see?"

In the restaurant, Yang Ke was sitting in front of Leonard, and the curiosity and excitement that belonged to the Chinese people surged up.

"We're training hard, don't worry about that. Didn't you hear that there was no angry voice coming from behind? It must have been resolved."

Picking up a piece of fruit and putting it into his mouth, Leonard shook his head. The situation sounds like it has improved so far, so he really has no interest in paying attention.

While the players were having a quick meal, the silent and frozen atmosphere in the office on the second floor of the training hall was broken by a phone ringing.

"Mr. Pete Holt."

Popovich, who was standing by the window, scanned the caller ID, his stiff and angry face changed slightly, he answered the phone with some excitement, and said politely.

"I've already called Professor Ryan of the Department of Hematology at the UCLA Medical Center. No need to make an appointment. Just ask Old Jack to take Alice to him directly,"

The old voice was uploaded through the mobile phone, so that everyone in the quiet office could hear it clearly.

Speaking of this, the old voice paused for a moment, and then said with great dissatisfaction: "And you told old Jack, why didn't you tell us the news that Alice had that kind of disease... If you want to find a normal hospital to do it After surgery, that kind of disease must go to a first-class...he still treats us..."

Pete Holt became more and more excited as he spoke, and the speed of his speech became faster and faster, but fortunately, in the end, someone stopped him on the other end of the phone.

"Mr. Peter Holt, don't worry. Fortunately, we learned that it was still in time. We just need to transfer the operation to Professor Ryan."

Popovich knew that it was his personal doctor who stopped Pete Holt on the phone to continue talking, and also knew that the team owner Pete Holt was not in good health at the moment, so he said quickly.
