Chapter 61 Cause and Effect

"Why would Alice do this? And the team would agree to such a request?"

Yang Ke frowned and asked again. Borrego's words not only failed to convince him, but caused another doubt in him.

Under Borrego's calm face, the deep sorrow and reluctance were hidden, and he said slowly: "Alice has leukemia, and the operation in Los Angeles in a few days will determine her life, whether she can continue exist."

"Leukemia? It's impossible, isn't it?"

"Didn't old Jack say it was a very common disease?"

Hearing this, Yang Ke and Leonard were very surprised. They couldn't sit still at this moment, they stood up one after another, and asked Borrego incessantly.

At this time, the two of them hoped that the news was false, because they both knew what kind of disaster leukemia was, and no one would want such a disaster to happen to anyone, especially such a cute, young child. Alice.

"Don't talk about the two of you, even Popovich and I just found out. I have to say that Old Jack did a great job. He kept it from all of us."

Having said this, Borrego has already gritted his teeth. Every time he thinks of this matter, his anger towards Old Jack wells up in his heart, but the problem is that these anger cannot be vented, but can only be deeply suppressed in his heart. .

"Why did old Jack do this?!"

The good old Leonard also got angry once in a while, and said fiercely with an angry face.

The onset of leukemia symptoms is not regular, and there will be severe pain during the onset of the symptoms. Yang Ke remembered that every time he met Alice, she smiled and gave them a feeling that there was no major problem. I can't help but sigh: "Old Jack alone can't hide it for so long. Alice is the key. She successfully deceived us with her smile, cheerfulness and vivacity."

"Alice has always been such a strong little girl, and she's so..."

Borrego sighed unwillingly, his face was gloomy, but he didn't continue in the middle of his words. He had already found that he was deeply affected by emotions, and this topic should not be talked about now.

Borrego quickly adjusted back, and then said to Yang Ke and the two: "Because of leukemia treatment, Alice has always maintained a small bald head, which is a representative of ugliness in the eyes of children. So Alice endured the pain of the classmates. A lot of ridicule and exclusion, and because of this, she doesn't have many friends of the same age."

Following Borrego's words, Leonard made up the picture of Alice going through these times, and his pity for Alice became stronger, and he said aggrievedly: "The teachers in the school don't care about it?"

"The school teacher didn't know what kind of disease Alice had before."

Borrego shook his head with a wry smile, not only recalling in his mind the remorse and deep self-blame of the teacher who told Alice that Alice had leukemia, but also said helplessly: "Furthermore , Those kids didn’t do it on purpose.”

"But their behavior has deeply hurt Alice's heart." Yang Ke said coldly, it was not intentional, and it was not a reason to hurt others at all, it was just an excuse to cover up.

Indeed, Borrego fully agrees with this statement, but it does not mean that he is qualified to teach those children a lesson. He took a deep breath, looked at Yang Ke, and said, "Yang, don't you think it is Is it so familiar?"

Yang Ke was taken aback, and Borrego's words sounded in his head over and over again. He clenched his hands casually on both sides of his body, closed his eyes slowly, opened his mouth with difficulty, and the voice followed. It came out: "The current situation with Leonard is the same."

"That's right, the media that smeared and reported on you didn't do it deliberately, they just wanted to increase their sales, but it's precisely because of this that they successfully hurt you and misled the fans. It added something to the two of you that you shouldn't have to bear."

Borrego nodded, with a heavy heart, looked at Yang Ke, then at Leonard, tilted his head, and continued: "Alice saw herself in you, you are so similar to."

"Among the ridicules of the friends around her, under the circumstances that outsiders could not help her, she endured all this alone, and she also suffered from the torment of the disease. But even so, she still hid all this in her heart , she has never complained to anyone, and when facing people who care about her, she still behaves so lively and cheerful..."

"As for Yang Ke and Leonard, when you two faced the vicious words from the fans and the media, you also chose to suffer in silence. Don't complain to anyone, including your agent, you are just suffering from At the same time as the body hurts, I worked harder and harder in training, but it was still the same in the team..."

Borrego's more and more passionate words, like a powerful giant hand, tore away the layers of protective film on Yang Ke and Leonard, allowing the two of them to face their own hearts without any cover for the first time .Both of them closed their eyes and remained silent, only their slightly trembling bodies could show their restless emotional changes.

Borrego took a deep breath, his lips trembling, and said the last sentence with great difficulty: "So Alice desperately hopes that before the operation, I can see with my own eyes that you two can defeat a powerful enemy, Prove to her and maybe others that all the hard work is worth it. In other words, she's pinning her hopes on you!"

Leonard opened his eyes first. His eyes were already red, and he asked tremblingly, "Coach, if we lose the game against the Lakers, will it have any bad effect on Alice?"

"I don't know, and I don't want to know."

A trace of confusion flashed in his eyes. Although this match had nothing to do with Alice's upcoming surgery, Borrego, who knew how important this match would be to Alice's heart, dared not and was unwilling to go again. Thinking about it, he shook his head as if avoiding it.

"We're going to beat the Lakers!"

At this time, Yang Ke suddenly opened his eyes, his red eyes revealed a firm gaze, facing the eyes of Borrego and Leonard looking over at the same time, he said: "For us, it is important to realize that the Lakers It's important to be strong, but it's also important to always have the belief that we can beat the opponent, and if you don't even believe that you can beat the Lakers, then we really will never achieve this goal."

"Yes, we can beat the Lakers!"

Leonard also nodded heavily, clenched his hands into fists, he knew that no matter what it was for, this game must not fail, then turned to look at Borrego, and said solemnly: "Coach, I want to The team has been preparing for this for a long time, now tell us what to do next!"

"This is what I should have done!"

Looking at Yang Ke and Leonard who were full of fighting spirit, Borrego laughed for the first time tonight, thinking that the two of them might really succeed, and Alice's wish would come true. He was looking forward to this moment The night of the game against the Lakers came.
