"Ding-dong!"

"Hello, sir, the takeout you ordered has arrived."

Zhou Chen heard the sound outside the door and quickly got up from the bed.

After a day of training today, Zhou Chen suddenly felt hungry in the middle of the night and ordered takeaway.

There was pizza, fried chicken and beer.

This is the Zaggs Hotel in Portland, where the Lakers stayed before Game 6 of the Western Conference semifinals began.

Being in the opponent's home city, the team naturally had no way to temporarily add meals to Zhou Chen so late, and Zhou Chen could only order takeaway by himself.

As the world's most famous "beer capital", Zhou Chen specially ordered dozens of bottles of Portland's local specialty craft beer.

It's just that these beers are like drinking drinks for him, a few bottles of belly, and there is no drunkenness at all.

Half an hour later, Zhou Chen cleaned up these night snacks like a windswept cloud, then patted his bulging belly, went to bed and slept beautifully.

... ...

At the Memorial Coliseum in Portland, the crowd was enthusiastic before the game had even begun.

The red man is cheering on the home team in waves, hoping that the Blazers can drag the game into the best-of-seven battle.

The victory in Game 3 and Game 4 gave the Blazers hope and made them feel that bringing down the Lakers was not a dream.

Although Zhou Chen of the battle of Tianwang Mountain made the Blazers nailed to the pillar of shame, the Blazers players on the field at this time seemed to have a very good mentality and were training in an orderly manner.

At this point in the series, no one will easily admit defeat, and once the game is dragged into the tie-for-seven battle, the previous victory or defeat does not matter.

Even the Lakers, with 70 regular season wins, are not invincible.

What's more, the Lakers also injured two big players, and the Blazers who returned home naturally hoped to win this game and drag the series to the best-of-seven.

The game is about to start.

The Lakers, led by Coach Riley and Magic Johnson, walked onto the court for pre-game warm-up training.

But in the team today, only Zhou Chen was not seen.

Jenny Bass, as Zhou Chen's agent, is also crazy at the moment, constantly bombarding Zhou Chen's calls.

When the team gathered in the morning, they did not see Zhou Chen in the hotel.

He didn't tell anyone on the team before he disappeared.

After Jenny and the coaching staff asked the person in charge of the hotel to open Zhou Chen's room door, the room inside was empty except for a pile of beer bottles and leftover food on the table.

... ...

Zhou Chen dragged his tired body, came out of the hospital, called a taxi directly on the side of the road, and went to the memorial gymnasium.

He glanced at the time, 19:35.

With 25 minutes to go, there should still be time.

Last night, he ordered takeout, and after eating, he suddenly had a stomachache in the middle of the night.

Immediately after vomiting up and down, the whole head broke out in cold sweat and was extremely weak.

Holding on until dawn in the morning, Zhou Chen immediately left the hotel and went to the hospital.

The day before yesterday, the training match was late, and Zhou Chen did not inform the team in advance and did not disturb the rest of his teammates.

After going to the hospital, Zhou Chen was diagnosed with food poisoning and also suffered from a gastrointestinal cold.

You don't have to think about it, there must be a problem with the takeout ordered at night, and the owner of that pizzeria is most likely a Portland fan, knowing that the Lakers stayed at a local hotel and then moved into the food.

Unexpectedly, it was Zhou Chen who suffered.

After dripping in the hospital, Zhou Chen fell asleep before he knew it.

He was so weak that his whole person seemed to have been hollowed out.

I didn't sleep well at night, and I ran to the toilet all night.

Unexpectedly, this sleep was a day, and Zhou Chen missed the team's morning training.

Before leaving the hospital, Zhou Chen still had a high fever of 38 degrees, and the doctor recommended that he be hospitalized for observation.

But Zhou Chen knew in his heart that he had to play in this game.

Without him, the Lakers would have lost.

With both Abdul-Jabbar and Worthy already injured, the Lakers are already on the edge of the cliff, and without him, the Lakers' backcourt will face a huge crisis.

Zhou Chen came to the dressing room of the stadium, changed into his jersey and training clothes, and walked into the stadium with heavy steps.

The DJ from the Portland Trail Blazers scene is introducing the players to enter.

Zhou Chen's sudden appearance caused an exclamation at the scene.

Seeing Zhou Chen's pale face and staggering out of the player tunnel, Jenny quickly stepped forward and asked, "Zhou Chen, where did you go today?" Don't say hello to the team either?

Zhou Chen gave her a blank look, and said weakly: "Sick."

Seeing Zhou Chen's haggard appearance, Jenny instantly understood what happened, and suddenly gave birth to a deep sense of guilt in her heart, and quickly stepped forward to support him, and said distressedly:

"You kid, why don't you talk to me when you're sick, the team is crazy."

Jenny touched Zhou Chen's forehead with her cold little hand, felt the scalding temperature, and was startled.

"Chen, are you all right? Or forget about this game, I'll take you to the hospital.

Zhou Chen waved his hand and threw her away: "I just came back from the hospital, I must play this game."

At this time, Riley and his teammates also sensed that something was wrong with Zhou Chen.

His state today looks like a patient who has a serious illness, he is weak in speaking, and his face is pale and weak.

"Zhou Chen, you rest this game, I believe that the management will not risk letting you play." Riley said.

Magician, Rambis and many other teammates also nodded in agreement.

Because Zhou Chen's appearance looks too scary, let alone play, even if he sits there, it seems as if he is going to fall down at any time.

Zhou Chen smiled lightly, took out his wine gourd, and took a sip.

I suddenly felt a sharp concentration from the "water of life".

"Ahem!"

Zhou Chen coughed violently a few times, and suddenly felt a surge in his stomach.

And then spit directly on the floor.

The food I ate last night has already been drained, and what is spit out now is just some water left in the body.

Zhou Chen looked down and took a closer look, and there was still blood in the pool of water he spit out.

Jenny quickly handed Zhou Chen a towel, and then took a large cup of hot water over, like a caring big sister, constantly patting Zhou Chen's back.

Zhou Chen's every move was watched by the Blazers over there and tens of thousands of fans on the scene.

Even the commentators on the scene couldn't help but say: "It seems that Zhou Chen will not play in this game, and the Blazers have a great chance today!" The

crowd of Blazers fans began to cheer.

Zhou Chen's fall is undoubtedly great news for the Blazers.
