in the hospital.
No one in the Rockets team chose to go home, but sat quietly in the small conference room with sad faces.
It's not that they engage in privileges, but that the hospital temporarily made a special case for them considering that there are too many of them and they are afraid of affecting other people.
At this time.
Darrell Morey pushed the door open and entered the meeting room. He silently swept across the group of guys, his always smiling face was already depressed.
Finding a chair to sit down, he still didn't speak, just put his hands together and prayed silently.
moment.
The meeting room fell into silence again, and everyone was very depressed.
After half an hour.
After the staff of the Rockets told them with a heavy face that the deceased had been buried and hoped that they could go to bid farewell to the deceased, Qin Tao, Darrell Morey and other officials from the uniform team left silently.
The mortuary of an American hospital is not just a place to temporarily store the remains. Only ten meters away from here, there is an empty living room where funerals can also be held for the deceased.
of course.
Kevin McHale would never treat his daughter's body so hastily. He was just a little helpless and needed Qin Tao and the others to give him a sense of security.
Enter this living room.
Qin Tao and the others saw McHale and his wife at a glance.
nowadays.
The grief-stricken parents had already shed their tears, but lay on the ice coffin in a daze, watching their daughter silently.
The torment of severe illness made McHale's daughter very emaciated, and her weight seemed to be below the normal standard, making her appear extremely thin.
The non-stop chemotherapy made her hair completely fall out, and a very natural wig finally made her look a little more energetic.
Under the arrangement of the staff, Qin Tao and the others walked towards the ice coffin one by one. When they saw the poor girl, they were all deeply touched by the scene.
Some respect.
Although Qin Tao does not have any religious beliefs, he still prays for the poor girl together with others.
Pray that she will not suffer any misfortune in heaven.
Say goodbye to the dead.
Qin Tao, along with Harden and others, returned to the conference room one after another.
They wanted to comfort McHale a few words, but just like the last thing Chinese people want to encounter, white-haired people send black-haired people's grief, they really don't know what to do.
however.
At such a sad moment, Darrell Morey told them a shocking news in a difficult way.
"After Kevin and our solemn application, he will return to the team before the Rockets' next game starts!"
anger! !
All the players, including Qin Tao, looked at Morey with eyes full of anger!
They couldn't imagine that McHale suffered such a disaster, and the team actually asked him to return to the team. This is simply insane!
but.
They only cared about their anger, but ignored Morey's grammar.
And Morey seemed to know what they were thinking a long time ago, silently bearing their anger, nodded apologetically, and then turned and left.
Hey!
Qin Tao and Harden scolded one after another at that time, and no one analyzed the meaning of Morey's words.
Sudden.
McHale himself pushed open the door sadly, and when he heard the scolding in the conference room, he shook his head bitterly, and sat silently at the conference table.
"Kevin??" Qin Tao looked at him blankly.
Qin Tao's words immediately attracted the attention of others.
Seeing McHale, Harden and the others immediately surrounded him, wishing to swallow Morey one by one, as if they regarded this fat man as a blood feud.
The more McHale heard it, the less he liked it. He clapped his hands helplessly and said to all of them: "It's not Darrell's request, and the team didn't ask me to return immediately, but my own decision!"
quiet!
The entire meeting room suddenly fell silent, Harden and the others all stared at him blankly, as if there was a short circuit in the brain.
But the fact is like this, Morey has said it before.
Since then.
Harden and the others returned to their chairs with complicated expressions, which was the best respect for McHale.
Staring at them, McHale burst into tears, and said with great relief: "I have seen your performance, you are the best boys I have ever seen!"
Sad.
Qin Tao lowered his head sadly.
If victory can help his daughter survive her illness, they will not hesitate to do so.
Simultaneously.
For the first time, he admired a foreigner, and even hated his ignorance in his previous life.
At that time.
No one saw what McHale had gone through, let alone how much pain this foreigner endured. After holding a rough funeral for his daughter, he returned to the team without hesitation.
Although his coaching ability has various problems, but only his professionalism, not all keyboard warriors can do it!
After a moment.
Qin Tao seemed to understand why this grieving father made such a decision. He just wanted to use his busy work to offset the grief he was enduring.
after midnight.
Qin Tao and the others were all driven out of the hospital by McHale. In his words, they will take a flight to Oklahoma early "today".
And McHale himself will return to his familiar position before the game starts.
leave the hospital.
There was no sound in the whole bus, and everyone seemed to be thinking about something.
Come back home.
Qin Tao and Jeremy Lin lacked interest, and instead of chatting and communicating, they washed up roughly and got into their rooms one after another.
Lying in bed.
Qin Tao unconsciously thought of his relatives, especially his pair of children who were over fifty years old and always complained about their parents.
"Are you... all right?" Qin Tao's eyes were slowly turning red, and some tears had already appeared in his resolute eyes.
Think about it now.
Qin Tao really didn't think he was a filial son.
Especially when he thought of how sad his parents would be when he disappeared for no reason, he couldn't suppress the idea of telling them they were safe.
With trembling palms, he took out his mobile phone and inquired how to make an international call.
Subsequently.
Qin Tao took a deep breath, let the tears fall down his eyes, and pressed a series of numbers with trembling fingers.
The call is connected.
Qin Tao's tears could no longer be contained, and his clothes were soaked in just a moment.
"Hello? Who are you??"
Ci Ai's familiar female voice made Qin Tao's heart tighten, and he wanted to call mom, but he couldn't say a single syllable.
suddenly.
A stereotyped female voice suddenly sounded from his ear: "Sorry, the number you dialed is an empty number!"
Empty number? ?
Why is it an empty number? ?
I have heard my mother's voice! !
Qin Tao is crazy!
He played it over and over again, calling Mom over and over again!
pity.
The rigid voice on the phone seemed to come from hell, and all he was left with was those cold words.
