Chapter 1768: daunting task

"William." Sampras was a little nervous, and he called out before he could speak. He couldn't hold back a mouthful of saliva, his throat was so dry.

The doctor William-Harris in front of me is also an authority in Toronto, and he is an old acquaintance with Sampras and Agassi. In the small circle of competitive sports, the real professional authority, all It's all famous, and it's not limited to sports.

It was previously confirmed that Gao Wen was injured and the game was still in progress. Although he was not sure about the seriousness of the situation, Sampras contacted Harris as soon as possible.

Subsequently, Tobias and Harris made an appointment on the phone. After the press conference, they went to the hospital non-stop.

"Peter." Harris showed a smile, and then looked at Agassi, "Andre, long time no see."

On a rare occasion, Agassi joked, "Honestly, I hope I never have to see you again."

Harris didn't mind, "I think the same as you. Fortunately, we shouldn't need to meet again this time."

Apparently, Harris also knew the key points, and without too much pleasantries, he threw out the key points in one sentence, and Sampras and Agassi felt a little relieved.

Immediately afterwards, Harris cut to the chase.

"We just had an MRI."

"Gao Wen's abdominal muscles were slightly strained, some muscle fibers were torn, and there was a wound of about 2 mm, without obvious swelling and bleeding."

"Peter, Andre, you are all professional players, you should know the situation, this is a first-degree strain, conservative physical therapy is recommended."

"Generally, there is no limitation of physical function, but there will be resistance contraction pain of the muscle in the injured area."

"Judging from Gao Wen's reaction, the situation is not serious, so he can persist in finishing the race today; but during the race, the adrenaline often tricks the brain and relieves the pain. After waiting to relax, the muscles may swell. , still needs further observation.”

Muscle strain.

Sure enough, as expected.

Strictly speaking, more serious than expected.

Sports muscle strains can be classified into three grades.

A first-degree strain, a mild injury to the muscle.

Second-degree strain, moderate muscle damage, 30% to 50% tearing of muscle fibers, extensive bleeding, even edema, obvious tenderness, even when the muscles are not resisted, the pain will still be felt.

Grade III strain, severe muscle damage, more than 50% tear of muscle fibers, loss of muscle contraction function, physiological function will also be limited, not only requires surgical suturing, but also requires long-term rehabilitation.

On the whole, the first-degree strain is already very, very slight.

But the key point is that even the slightest first-degree strain still causes tearing of muscle fibers. It is definitely not a problem that can be solved by taking two pills and drinking more water.

On the one hand, Pelt let out a long breath, because he knew that a first-degree strain injury did not require surgery or rehabilitation, and the situation was not that complicated. He believed that Gao Wen could complete this challenge.

Sampras, Agassi and Tobias, on the other hand, exchanged glances as they all realized what it meant.

They were not in a hurry, and they didn't rush to ask Harris those amateur questions, but cast their eyes, and Harris naturally understood what they meant.

"If Gao Wen decides to continue fighting with injuries, it's not impossible."

"My suggestion is to watch tonight to see if there is any swelling in the muscles, and then try to train tomorrow morning."

"At that time, we will discuss the situation in detail."

"If Gao Wen is ready to continue to play and we use muscle tape to complete the fixed protection, then there will be no problem. We will conduct actual combat tests through the game and ensure that the medical staff is on standby at any time. That's all."

Injuries exist objectively, but they are not serious.

For professional players, it is almost impossible to have no injuries at all, and fighting with injuries is even more common.

Harris is an expert on this.

After a short pause, Harris continued to give his professional advice.

"However, we need to pay attention."

"Although a first-degree strain is not serious, generally speaking, we recommend two to four weeks of recuperation and recovery, with conservative treatment."

"The U.S. Open is not far away. I know that you have your own pressures and situations. Therefore, you still need to discuss with your team and make a decision. The most important thing is Gao Wen's own wishes. "

To be precise, there is still half a month before the start of the US Open.

If you choose to withdraw from the Rogers Cup semifinals, rest in peace.

First of all, it is not certain that Gao Wen will recover within two weeks. After all, the doctor estimated that the recovery time is two weeks to four weeks, or even longer.

Secondly, before coming to Toronto, Gao Wen rested for a whole month. He finally found some touch in Toronto, and then rested again. There was no adjustment and no time for actual combat. And the feel definitely needs a readjustment.

From the pressure of the "defending champion" to the weakness exposed by the accidental injury, Gao Wen may become the target of public criticism at that time.

Difficult, even more difficult.

If you choose to continue to the Rogers Cup semi-finals, you will fight with injuries.

Of course, as Harris said, there is no problem, just pay attention to protection. After all, all professional players carry it like this.

But the question is, what kind of performance can you show in combat with injuries, and can you go further?

If you lose again and aggravate the injury~lightnovelpub.net~that is the real disaster.

Conservation is a problem; adventure is also a problem. No matter what choice you make, you will be faced with a difficult problem full of thorns.

Although Sampras and the others had expected it long ago, returning to New York to embark on the defending journey must not be easy for the second-year student Gao Wen; but now the nightmare problem has risen to the level of hell, a whole new level, because it was too unexpected , so that some can't laugh or cry.

Harris, as a doctor, cannot make decisions on behalf of Gao Wen. He gives his own opinions and judgments, and states the facts. That's all.

"Pete, judging from the scan, it's not serious, but we all know that injuries have different reactions according to different players and different physiques."

"Some players have a very high pain tolerance, some players recover very quickly, some players have a very high probability of re-injury, some players are very fragile in some parts and very strong in other parts."

"The specific situation still needs to be analyzed in detail."

"No matter what decision you make, after a few days, after a little calm down, you can perform a detailed scan again, and you will be able to get clearer results."

Said a lot, but seemed to say nothing.

But that's all Harris suggested.

"Gao Wen, I wish you good luck, I hope you can recover as soon as possible."

Harris made a brief appearance, and then walked away, leaving the VIP room to Gao Wen and others—

Silence is spreading.

In the past year, everything went smoothly, and they also discussed and agreed, united as one, and wrote countless miracles step by step; but right now, this is the first time they have encountered a setback, a difficulty, and a threshold. Here, there may be differences of opinion.

Can they still continue to unify their views?
