did not take anesthetic, which lasted half an hour, shorten the broken front teeth to only half…… Who would be willing to undergo such an operation? Presumably most people answered no, but the answer of Xinjiang men’s basketball captain Ke lanbai was “please operate”.
In the second game of the Xinjiang Guangdong finals, only 2 minutes 43 seconds was left in the first quarter, but Lan Bai Ke fell to the ground in a fight. His teammate Sun Tonglin, who lost his focus due to the fight, hit him heavily. Sun Tonglin’s weight of more than 100 kilograms, coupled with the impact force brought by inertia, made the face of Ke lanbai hit the floor severely. Ke lanbai, who was behind him, immediately entered the game, but in only a few rounds, the on-duty referee stopped the game and asked him to leave. Because of the obvious dislocation of the front teeth of Ke Lan Bai Ke, the nose and mouth began to bleed, and the words “Xinjiang” on the chest of the Jersey were dyed red, which also dropped on the floor of the finals.
In order to continue the game, lanbai showed his teeth to the referee, indicating that the blood had stopped. For Xinjiang, which lost the big score in the first battle, a good start to the second battle was a good opportunity to boost morale. As the captain, colanbai knew the importance of military stability, “the team needed me at that moment”. In the whole game, Lan Baike played for 24 minutes and got 5 points and 5 rebounds. Although the data is not bright, his hard-working defense has brought no minor trouble to his opponents. Xinjiang, who fought away from home, also used this strength to bite the score tightly under the condition that the free throw score was 23 points less than the opponent and the error was 10 times more, it was not until the second half of the last quarter that the game was taken away by a wave of attacks in Guangdong.
After the game, according to the preliminary diagnosis of local hospital in Dongguan, the incisor tooth root of Ke lanbai was broken, but it was impossible to make a film diagnosis because of the late time. The next day, after returning to Urumqi with the team, Ke lanbai went directly to the hospital from the airport. The examination results showed that his two incisors were tooth root fractured, and the fracture was lower than the gum margin. Tooth root should be removed immediately. If not handled in time, it will not only cause inflammation, but also affect future repair.
The doctor suggested that the tooth should be extracted immediately, but he could not do strenuous exercise for the next 5 days. In other words, he would miss at least 2 finals. And this is unacceptable to him. As far as the current situation is concerned, no one can guarantee that Xinjiang men’s basketball, which is 0:2 behind, can compete for the fifth match. He discussed with the doctor and decided to remove the part of the front teeth deviating from the original position first to avoid pain caused by touch, and to retain the part that has not been deviated, which will be dealt with after the finals.
The toothache kills people, let alone the broken front teeth. However, Lan Bai Ke chose to refuse to use anesthetic because he was worried that it would affect his reaction and agility of body movements. “Although it may not really have an impact, but I have to absolutely avoid this possibility”. In this way, during the 30-minute operation, he clearly saw the rapidly rotating tool, clearly heard the sound of teeth being polished, and soberly suffered every pain brought by the operation.
For anyone, refusing anesthetic to receive molar treatment is a difficult choice, but lanbai Ke is no exception. It’s just that he has the reason why he is determined to do it, that is, “for basketball, for the team”, which has been fully revealed in every game throughout the season. In the eyes of many fans, no matter whether the team’s record and personal status are up or down, the Xinjiang captain is insisting on doing the same thing: the most fierce defense, when teammates fall to the ground, they will always be the first to run forward and pull up teammates. When the team falls behind, they will slap their hands and shout “come on”……
Therefore, the change of the team in the second half of the season will make him excited. Before the finals, he said: “The morale of the team is very high and the atmosphere is super good. Everyone is like a family.” Therefore, he would choose to refuse anesthetic and undergo surgery in order to continue playing in the finals and fight with his teammates.
Before the first game, Ke lanbai said to the reporter: “Although the Guangdong team is very strong, if we want to take a victory from us, we will let them lose a layer of skin first.” He said so, and so did he and his teammates.
On May 1, Xinjiang men’s basketball will face the third finals with Guangdong men’s basketball at home. No matter what the ending is, Lan Bai and his teammates are determined to be the hope of coach A Dijiang for the game-“together with Guangdong, we will dedicate a real finals-level game to the fans, it is worthy of every drop of blood and sweat spilled on the court.” (Finished)
