Almighty Coach

Holding the tablet in his hand, Dai Li looked at the news headlines with a strange expression on his face.

"The Los Angeles Clippers, they are murdering! Murder? What does this mean?" Dai Li frowned suddenly, not because of the title, but because the picture accompanying the title was his own photo, and the photo had been PS Looked like a killer.

The content of this news, the first half is to praise Noel. It basically means that he has a blood clot disease and insists on coming back. This kind of superstar still loves basketball so much and has such professionalism. He is simply a model for all athletes to learn from.

The second half is that the Clippers have no conscience, knowing that blood clots may kill athletes, but still let Noel play, it is simply a representative of unscrupulous capitalists. Even if Noel's blood clot is eliminated, taking anticoagulant drugs will make him unable to engage in high-intensity physical confrontation. Letting him play in the NBA is simply letting him die.

The accusation of "murder" was directed at Dai Li. At the end of the news, it was even pointed out that if there was something wrong with Noel, Dai Li was the killer.

"I helped Noel return to the court so that he can continue to play. This is helping others, shouldn't I be praised! How can you call me a killer? I really don't understand how you Americans think." Dai Li was a little baffled explain.

"I found someone to check, this news originally came from Miami." The team's general manager Johnson said.

Dai Li thought about it carefully: "I don't have any enemies in Miami!"

"It's the Heat's fault." Johnson said: "The Heat are unwilling, but they have no choice but to use this method to disgust us. If it can stir up a storm of public opinion and put pressure on us, that is Even better. In case Noel goes to the game and something really happens, this report can also be used to bring up the old story."

Dai Li nodded, expressing his understanding.

Chris Noel used to be a player of the Heat, helped the Heat win several championships, and is also a well-known superstar in the league. Before the blood clot was detected, Noel also took a maximum salary from the Heat, and the Heat also regarded him as the backbone of the team. Even after Noel had to leave the court due to illness, the Heat expressed kindly , willing to retire Noel's jersey.

When you are a player, you are given a maximum salary, and if you are not a player, you will retire your jersey. This kind of treatment can only be enjoyed by meritorious and leading stars.

The Heat thought that treating Noel like this was the best of humanity. But what I didn't expect was that Noll actually made a comeback, and he went to another team to make a comeback, which made the Heat shout a loss.

Noel left the court due to illness, so even if he was waived by the Heat, his salary will be paid by the insurance company, and the Heat have no loss in this regard. But giving up a superstar to the Clippers for no reason is definitely an unacceptable result for the Heat.

In the NBA, superstars are always a scarce resource, and superstar-level players are always picked by them, not by the team. Every superstar is the dream goal of the team. If a certain superstar expresses that he is willing to go to a certain team, then the team will do everything possible to clear the salary space to sign the superstar, or give enough money. Sincere chips to trade. Compared with the intentions of superstar players, salary has become a secondary matter.

If it is the top superstar, it will make all the team's management kneel down. For example, the NBA stipulates that teams cannot negotiate contracts with free agents before July 1, so on the night of June 30, a team manager’s car will be parked in front of a certain superstar’s residence, and at 11:59 From time to time, the team manager will get out of the car, come to the door, put his hand on the doorbell, and only wait for the zero o'clock to press the doorbell to persuade the star to join.

A team spends most of the night staying up in front of other people's doors, and invites them to join as soon as it is past midnight. This is the treatment of a superstar.

It is precisely because superstars are scarce resources in the NBA, so in the view of the Heat's management, even if Noll comes back, he should choose his old club, the Heat. Now Noel has gone to the Clippers, so for the Heat, this is a loss.

Some teams in the NBA have a way of disgusting each other, and the teams are not as calm as they seem on the surface. If the NBA is a business, then when it comes to a superstar player, it is a value. Twenty to thirty million business. A business worth several million dollars these years is worth sending commercial spies, and a business worth 20 to 30 million dollars must not use all means.

What's more, the Miami Heat have never been such a humane team. Their management has always implemented the spirit of the "business alliance", so they don't mind, secretly looking for an opportunity to provoke some troubles.

As for other teams, I don't want to see the Clippers continue to strengthen. After all, everyone is in the same league, and there is more or less competition between teams.

I only heard Johnson go on to say: "Noll's comeback was approved by the league. The six-month medical report is enough to prove Noel's health. I don't think the league will ban Noel from participating because of a mere news report. But what I'm worried about is Public opinion."

But Li Dai waved his hand: "I'm just the opposite. What I'm worried about is whether something will happen to the alliance. As for the public opinion, as long as Noel can show a good state, then everything will be solved. For For fans, as long as their favorite star can have good statistics, then injuries and so on, it doesn't matter."

...

In the locker room, Chris Noel finally put on his own jersey.

According to NBA rules, players who have not entered the activation list can only wear suits even if they come to the scene. Previously, Noel enjoyed this kind of treatment of watching football in a suit. He could only sit on the bench in a suit, which was undoubtedly a torment for him.

We ordinary people play wild ball on weekdays. If we can't play, we can only sit by and watch. We will feel very anxious, let alone the superstar players in the NBA.

Due to blood clots, Noel was forced to sit on the bench for dozens of games, watching his teammates play, which made his hands itchy, and his heart itched unbearably.

Now it's finally the end of all hardships, and he can finally play.

The brand new jersey on his body was both familiar and unfamiliar. At this moment, his hands couldn't help shaking, it was an uncontrollable excitement.

A sudden illness made him leave the court, and even let him say goodbye to basketball, but now, he is back!

...

Staples Center, the Clippers vs. the Spurs, is also the first game of Noel's comeback.

Noel used the cover of his teammates, quickly dribbled the ball to a high position, quickly caught the ball and completed a jump shot, but the player in charge of defending him hadn't followed up, so he could only watch as Noel was unmarked. shot.

The goal was scored, and the scene immediately resounded with overwhelming cheers.

"He scored in double figures, and his shooting percentage was 5 of 10. It seems that we don't have to worry about his condition!" Dai Li said with a smile.

Noel is different from other Clippers players. Everyone else left the court due to injuries. Before that, they had already declined due to injuries. Can't even reach the level of rotation players.

But Noel had to leave the court because of a blood clot disease. Before he was forced to leave the court, he still maintained an All-Star level. It is even easier to average 20+10 per game. The condition is still good.

It is precisely because Noel is still in his prime, so his condition has not declined, and he has been training in the first few months of this season. When he returned to the court, the training team returned to the previous state.

And the Clippers don't have any tactical system, they all rely on star football. In the Clippers, if you get the ball and the opportunity is good, you can play it alone. If the opportunity is not good, you can give the ball to your teammates and let your teammates play singles. You can play when you are on the court, and you can throw the ball when you have the ball in your hand. This is not easy for Noel's players with rich offensive skills.

In this game, Noll showed excellent efficiency. He played 25 minutes and scored 16 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist.

And things are just as Li Dai expected, fans will only pay attention to the stats of the stars, as for injuries and so on, they are not important in front of good stats. On the second day, the media reported more on Noel's perfect comeback. As for the "blood clot" issue, it seemed that people had completely forgotten about it.

This is what sports are like. Grades always come first. The brilliance of excellent grades is enough to cover up all the negative news.

...

In the first game after his comeback, Noel scored 16 points in a small test.

In the next game, Noll got more playing time and made more contributions to the team. With Noll joining, the Clippers are not afraid of any opponent at the 4th position.

As a big man, Noel has excellent speed, agility, and great jumping. The two scoring methods he is best at are post-up singles and turnaround jumpers, and high jumpers after using opponents' screens or pick-and-rolls. The hit rate is surprisingly high. And he also has a considerable ability to break through the frame and a good three-pointer feel, but for him, three-pointers are not a conventional scoring method.

In the league, Noll can be regarded as the best spatial insider.

Basketball has developed to this day, and people are increasingly aware of the role of space. Breakthroughs require space, and shooting requires space, so in the current NBA, good insiders are all spatial insiders. As an insider, if he cannot create space for the team, he will be classified as a blue-collar player.

There was a time when the No. 5 players who could shoot three-pointers were very popular, because the No. 5 players who could shoot three-pointers could create more space. At that time, many No. 5 players who were not even allowed free throws, They all started practicing three-pointers.

But the NBA's tactical leaders soon discovered that if the No. 5 position stands outside to shoot a three-pointer, then there will be no one in the penalty area. This is tantamount to giving up offensive rebounds. chance to attack. Considering that the shooting percentage of three-pointers is only about 35%, most of the time it is to grab offensive rebounds, and the benefits of giving up the second offense in exchange for space are far less than that of grabbing offensive rebounds.

With this kind of tactical understanding, more players in the 5th position will sit under the basket to protect the penalty area, and the coach will rarely arrange three-pointers for the 5th player. And because the player in the 5th position needs to protect the penalty area, the 4th position has become the team's first choice to create space.

Those No. 4 positions with shooting ability are originally more popular in the league. Many No. 5 positions with long-range shooting ability also appear more at No. 4 positions in order to create more space.

A space-type 4th position can be regarded as a strategic weapon for the team, and even the team's entire tactical system will be changed because of the addition of a space-type 4th position.

The former Chris Noel happened to be the best stretch four in the league. He can shoot suddenly, as long as he stands outside the three-point line on both sides of the baseline, opponents are always ready to double-team him. This kind of superstar player has so many offensive methods, and he is still a big man, so it is difficult to defend one-on-one.

After all, it is much more difficult to defend against big men than against small ones!

So Noll's overall strengthening of the Clippers is not just a little bit. This is not only strengthening a position, but also creating more space for the team.

Everyone on the Clippers is a top scorer in the league, with a regular season MVP and two scoring champions. Players in each position are not only proficient in all scoring methods, but also have their own unsolvable offensive methods. Once this kind of player gives them space, it is easy to score.

Professor Thomas is an expert in the study of hemophilia and related diseases.

Hemophilia is regarded as a disorder of coagulation function, while blood clot is a disorder of anticoagulant function. Although the symptoms of the two are opposite, they belong to the same subject in medical research. So Professor Thomas is also an expert in blood clots.

This is like hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism. One is excessive thyroid hormone and the other is too little thyroid hormone. The symptoms are completely opposite. But when you see a doctor, you have to go to the endocrinology department. Doctors who are good at treating hyperthyroidism can treat The level of hypothyroidism will not be too bad, and vice versa.

In the past period of time, Professor Thomas has been on business trips in Europe. He first went to Switzerland to attend an academic seminar, then went to Sweden to communicate with several scholars, then went to Germany to discuss several medical records, and finally went to the United Kingdom to give some lectures to some scholars. Qian's patient made a diagnosis and tossed back and forth for more than half a month.

For more than half a month, Thomas has been busy and has little time to pay attention to other things. This is the case with doctors, who can’t take care of anything when they are busy. Even doctors in the United States work much longer hours than other industries.

Back in New York, after getting off the plane, Professor Thomas bought a newspaper and quickly scanned the headlines.

Finally, in the sports section, he saw the news of Noel's comeback.

"What? Noel is back? He's still playing! He's still playing for 25 minutes! He's dying!" Professor Thomas exclaimed.

Professor Thomas once diagnosed and treated Noel. He is very familiar with Noel's condition. In his opinion, it is impossible for Noel to play again. The disease he suffers from has not allowed him to continue to play in the NBA.

"Which damn doctor allowed him to play, this is murder! The doctor who allowed him to play should have his license revoked and he should be sentenced!" Thomas thought indignantly, then took out his mobile phone and found Noel's telephone number.

Thomas is a very conscientious doctor, and he intends to dissuade Noel from continuing to play.

The phone was connected quickly, and Noel's voice came from the opposite side: "Hello, Professor Thomas, long time no see."

"Mr. Noel, I just saw the news that you have returned to the NBA!" Thomas pretended to be serious and said, "You made a serious mistake. The disease you suffer from cannot withstand NBA-level confrontation." , that will put your life in danger!"

"Professor Thomas, if you are talking about blood clots, then you don't have to worry, the blood clots in my body have completely dissolved. So there will be no pulmonary embolism, no myocardial infarction, and my life will not There will be danger." Noel replied.

"Blood clot ablation is not difficult, but anticoagulant drugs will affect your blood coagulation function, and excessive use may even induce hemophilia. With the intensity of the NBA's resistance, once internal bleeding is caused without even being discovered, The consequences will be disastrous." Thomas continued to persuade.

"My blood coagulation function is fine." Noel could only continue, "Let's put it this way, my illness is cured!"

"Healed?" Thomas asked back, the subtext seemed to say: You are kidding me!

"It's really good. I have the test report from Dell Medical Center for nearly six months, and the NBA officially recognized it." Noel replied.

After hearing this, Thomas suddenly remembered that Noel's ability to play games must be officially allowed by the NBA. A league as big as the NBA usually has many top medical experts as consultants. What the heck, since they allow Noel to play, there should be no problem with Noel's body.

"Is there really nothing wrong with your body?" Thomas asked subconsciously.

"Of course. Look, I'm already ready to play." Noel replied.

Thomas was still in a daze, and he subconsciously asked, "How was it cured?"

"Training!" Noel continued, "My coach made a training plan for me."

Did Nuoer answer very easily, with a hint of excitement in addition to being relaxed.

Thomas had a heavy expression on his face, as if he was being chased by a dog after stepping on its tail.

"Training can cure blood clots? Hehe..."

Then, the chat ends with hehe.

...

In a blink of an eye, Noll has played seven games, and the Clippers have also won seven consecutive victories. This wave of seven-game winning streak allowed the Clippers to secure the fourth position in the Western Conference.

During this period, Noel submitted another medical examination report to the league, proving that there was no problem with his body.

The data is good, and the body has recovered. The league has no reason to prevent Noel from continuing to play, and those who want to see Noel's jokes also shut up. Everyone is not a fool. Everyone can see how Noel is after his comeback.

Noel also couldn't play for a long time, and his heart was suffocated. He finally returned to the court. Naturally, he was eager to prove himself, so he worked extra hard every game. This kind of superstar player is superior in his own strength, but as long as he has a correct attitude and concentrates during the game, the statistics will not be too bad.

After seven games, Noel's playing time gradually reached 30 minutes, and the average data per game remained at 17+6.

Another perfect comeback.
