20. If possible, I would like to be the light in your darkness...

When it comes to Livingston, fans in later generations are definitely familiar with it. After all, in later generations, Livingston was the hero who followed the Warriors to win the three championships.

And every time he mentioned the name Livingston, Yang Fan couldn't help but think of the sentence that was circulated in later generations.

"I have been running hard just to catch up with the self I was once sought after..."

Last season, Livingston experienced the most terrifying nightmare of his career.

Even about the video about Livingston being injured at that time, Yang Fan felt chills whenever he planned to watch it.

Because even though George "General George", Nurkic, and Eunuch Hai and others in later generations had experienced unbearable injuries to break the leg, Livingston's scalp still felt numb.

As a talented player who was highly anticipated by people just entering the league, although Livingston's performance in his rookie season did not meet people's expectations.

But at least in recent seasons, Livingston's overall strength has been rising steadily.

However, what seems to be all the beauty was after the "breaking leg injury" last year, and it was like a bubble that flew not far away and became a mirror and a moon.

It is no exaggeration to say that this injury can be said to have completely ruined Livingston's career.

Because even now, Livingston has been in the recovery stage, and even if he can play in the regular season in the next season, this is an unknown number.

So in this case, Livingston, who happened to be in a free agent, naturally became unwilling to do so.

Even when Livingston has publicly stated that he only hopes to get a basic salary contract, even if it is only one year to accept it, no team in the league is willing to extend an olive branch to him.

Although all this seems a bit cold, in the NBA business alliance, this is an irreversible fact.

However, today, July 7, 2008, this day is destined to be a turning point in Livingston's life and will also become a memory that Livingston will never forget.

"Hey, how is the injury Sean, have you felt better recently?"

"You should rest more often and don't worry too much about your future, because I believe you will not be knocked down by this injury."

"I've been too busy these days, so after I'm done, I will definitely come to see you in person."

Hearing the words of concern for his injury on the other end of the phone, Livingston was on the verge of collapse, even though he had no idea who the person who called him was.

After experiencing this terrifying leg break injury, Livingston even had some shadows on basketball. In this year's free market, Livingston also saw what indifference is.

Just when he had put aside his dignity of his former genius and prayed to each team to give him a basic salary contract but no one answered, Livingston realized that he was really abandoned by this league.

During this period, Livingston could be said to be by the phone every day. Whenever the phone rings, he would immediately answer the phone with a very good attitude.

Because Livingston thought so much, and after answering the phone, he could hear a sentence, "Shawn, we are willing to provide you with a basic salary contract, find some time, and let's discuss it in person."

But often the idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. In these days, Livingston's phone not only did not ring frequently, but whenever it sounded, most people would take the lead in asking how Livingston's injury progressed and whether he could catch up with the opening match of next season.

Faced with this kind of inquiry, Livingston could only choose to answer truthfully, that is, based on his current recovery, let alone the opening match of next season, I am afraid that even after the start of next season, Livingston will be able to catch up with the second half of the schedule at most.

When you hear Livingston's answer on the other end of the phone, you often choose to hang up the phone directly.

Because in the business world, if Livingston's injury is very serious, there is no need to continue to discuss it.

It is no exaggeration to say that Livingston has truly seen the indifference in the league in these days, and the dark years he was completely abandoned by the league and completely forgotten by people.

So when Yang Fan called Livingston today, Livingston mechanically answered the phone because Livingston no longer had any hope for this call.

Sure enough, just after the phone was answered, Yang Fan raised the topic to his injury, just when Livingston thought that what he was going to meet was still ruthlessly hanging up the phone or a brief personal silence.

Yang Fan did not ask how Livingston's injury progressed at all, but just cared about Livingston's injury repeatedly, repeatedly letting Livingston take a break, and cheered him on.

He also told Livingston that he would not be knocked down by injuries, and said that he would go to see him in person after he finished his work.

It can be said that while Livingston originally thought that this would be dark, Yang Fan's words seemed to bring him a light.

Similarly, this man who grew up in a nursery and has a somewhat withdrawn personality is on the verge of collapse.

Faced with the cordial greetings from Yang Fan, Livingston did not ask Yang Fan who he was, nor did he answer any questions from Yang Fan.

Because Livingston didn't know how to speak at this time, because Livingston was very afraid, and was afraid that he would not be able to help the grief in his heart as soon as he opened his mouth, so he cried loudly on the phone.

During the period after Livingston was injured, some people had condolences about his injuries, and some were worried about his future career.

But while he just wanted to ask each team to give him a basic salary contract, most management judged him like a commercial eye to look at a commodity.

Everyone asked how his injury progressed, how much he could recover before the start of next season, and see if signing him is worth it.

It can be said that when Livingston faced all these cold words, Livingston had already felt the habit and had truly realized the cruelty in the league.

However, like Yang Fan today, he did not ask about any problems with the progress of the injury or contract signing as soon as he spoke. Instead, he was concerned about Livingston's injury as a friend. This was the first time he had happened to Livingston.

So when Livingston felt the care from Yang Fan on the other end of the phone, he felt that he was in a complicated mood and even wanted to cry loudly.

After all, no matter what, Livingston is just a man who just turned 23 this year.

But because of that terrifying and chilling injury, Livingston, who was only 23 years old, was experiencing a wandering gradual abandonment by the league...
