When Tang Long realized he and team doctor Gracie had fallen to the ground together, it was already too late.
Almost simultaneously, the teammates rushed over like an avalanche, one after another, pressed down on top!
Tang Long, a professional player, is naturally accustomed to tough conditions on the field; not afraid of being piled on.
But Gracie's petite frame of just over 1.6 meters could hardly withstand this kind of pressure!
He had no choice but to pity her, quickly flipping over to cover Gracie, protecting her.
Initially, when Bravo and Mkhitaryan piled on, Tang Long managed to hold up;
He assumed a push-up position over Gracie, shouting, "Stop! Someone's below!"
Gracie lay there on the ground, wide-eyed, looking at Tang Long, their breath intermingling.
