Injuries in basketball only make me stronger

Lian Feng underwent knee ligament reconstruction surgery.

A torn cruciate ligament is of course a serious injury! But its surgery is not as scary as many people imagine. Strictly speaking, it is just a minimally invasive surgery.

The doctor said that the surgery was of high quality and went very smoothly. After the sutures are removed in about 20 days, simple rehabilitation training can begin. However, it is best to allow half a year to recuperate before basketball training.

In other words, Lian Feng will definitely miss the next playoff games.

But it's a little better than Lian Feng imagined, which means that his return to the court next season will not arouse doubts.

Lian Feng has a system, and of course he doesn't need half a year to recover.

In fact, two months is enough time for Lian Feng to recover.

The biggest obstacle for athletes due to cruciate ligament injuries is not physical, but the psychological impact is fatal after experiencing such a terrifying experience. It was like a nightmare, making him never dare to try running at full strength again.

,jump.

But this does not exist for Lian Feng. Even... He has begun to worry now. The meniscus and cruciate ligament of his left knee have suffered injuries, which means that it will become more durable. So if he wants to get

Sports injuries are much more difficult.

Lian Feng couldn't help but look at his left ankle, right knee, ankle...

As for the recovery time for ordinary people, a very small number of athletes did only recover for four or five months before starting competitive competitions again.

Therefore, even if Lian Feng stood on the court a little earlier, it can be explained by his special physique.

However, in order not to arouse other people's suspicion, it is really not an easy thing. For this reason, you have to pretend to be sick for a long time at least.

Now, Lian Feng has done what he can do, and he has given everything he has this season. So even if there is a high probability that the 76ers will be swept out in the first round, he will not feel regretful.

Next, just lie down and watch the game on TV.

…

While Lian Feng was lying on the hospital bed watching TV, the 76ers' management was conducting a discussion about Lian Feng.

"I have to have a serious discussion about Lian Feng's contract! Today, we have to resolve this matter. First of all, how much do you think Lian Feng is worth our investment?" said the manager in a suit and tie.

"There is no doubt that judging from past cases, it is difficult to return to the peak after suffering such a serious knee injury...I am talking more about psychological fear, which few players can overcome."

"so?"

"So, Lian Feng is no longer suitable to be the core of the team. Now that we have decided to rebuild... There were still things to struggle with some time ago. Iguodala and Lian Feng are equally good! But now it seems that it doesn't matter anymore, Iguodala

Godara, there is no doubt about it!"

"Then what do you think Lian Feng should do?"

"Lian Feng is of course valuable, but the value depends on how much strength he can regain. His contract has ended, and we have only two options now, use the team option to renew, or directly make a qualifying offer.

, making him a restricted free agent."

The manager thought for a while: "There is no doubt that Lian Feng's price is very cheap. If we directly execute the team option, we can successfully win Lian Feng."

"But that may make Lian Feng feel that his value has not been reflected. After the short-term contract ends, he will leave Philadelphia. So just the opposite, sir! I think... we should not directly renew his contract, but should give him a

A long-term contract.”

"Huh? Continue."

"First of all, you have to understand our needs. We have decided to rebuild the team, so the cost is something that must be considered. Judging from Lian Feng's performance, even if he loses his peak level, he can still play in the rotation, and a

Qualified role players will probably take up several million dollars of our annual salary space, and we may not be able to find a suitable person like Lian Feng. What's more important is the market behind him!"

The manager was moved and thought for a while: "Tell me what you think."

"Simply put, that's it, we told Lian Feng that in order to maximize his interests, we decided to give up the team option, let him become a restricted free agent, give up the hundreds of thousands of dollars in contract, and provide him with a

He will agree to a three-year contract worth more than 10 million US dollars!"

"$10 million over three years? Will he agree? What if another team offers a higher price?"

"We have to thank Arenas. It is his appearance that allows us to have this kind of operating space: Arenas' terms stipulate that for a two-year second-round pick like Lian Feng, the salary in the first year of the new contract cannot exceed the middle-class salary of that year.

Class, it can increase by 8% in the second year. In other words, our mid-level exception allows us to match the offer of any inviting team."

The team manager breathed a sigh of relief and then smiled: "In other words, choose to give up the team option and sign him at a lower price for several years, right? Then there is nothing to discuss, let's do it!"

"Yes, sir. We will take care of this matter when the trading day officially starts!"

…

Lian Feng accidentally looked through the NBA's player terms. He paused for a moment when it came to Arenas' terms, then he laughed and looked away.

This clause, which will be abolished in the future, was originally intended to protect the interests of the parent team, but as Morey later developed a poisonous contract, it became a trap for the original team.

Lian Feng thought to himself, the 76ers' management shouldn't think that the Arenas clause can help them retain people, right? That would be too stupid.

But after all, knowing the future development, I am afraid that few team managers in the current league have found out about using Arenas clause to poach employees.

The 76ers should use the team option.

Therefore, Lian Feng has already started thinking about next season.

Hmm...Iverson is leaving and Webber is leaving. How should we advise the team to strengthen them?

…

Lian Feng only stayed in the United States until the day when the stitches were removed, and then he insisted on returning to China to recuperate, despite the objections of the team doctor.

Considering that Lian Feng would be reimbursed for the season, the team finally agreed to Lian Feng's request.

Lian Feng considered this in order to avoid the impact of rapid recovery from injuries to a greater extent. In the United States, team doctors will be very diligent in conducting MRI examinations regularly. If nothing can be seen in the short term, I am afraid they will be surprised in a month or two.

It was discovered that Lian Feng had recovered from his injury, which would bring a lot of unnecessary trouble.

But returning to China, on the one hand, it is easier to hide the truth about recovery, and on the other hand, many things become easier to explain, such as a certain unknown Chinese medicine doctor... This kind of thing is not easy to be falsified, so it cannot be said to be unscientific.

But before leaving the United States, Lian Feng took the time to go to Los Angeles...well, in a wheelchair.

Of course not to meet Kobe, but to watch Allison's pole vault competition.

After the game, Lian Feng ignored his knee injury and had a good time in the hotel.

But there was one thing that left Lian Feng a bit at a loss. He didn't know whether his liking for Alison was more physical, or whether he liked her more in other aspects.

This has very practical significance. Lian Feng does not want to think of Alison as just a running friend. But he does feel that every time he sees Alison, he wants to go to bed with her.

Indeed...it's so desirable.

But it can be seen that Alison's attitude towards Lian Feng is not just about his body. Alison will lie on Lian Feng's chest and say seriously: "I like balls."

Afterwards, Alison was unable to follow Lian Feng back to China because she also had her own career. She wanted to hit a higher record and throw herself into the training ground every day to sweat like rain.

Before Lian Feng returned to China, the 76ers finally completed all games this season.

Because of the game against the Heat, the 76ers replaced the Bucks and advanced to the playoffs with eighth place in the Eastern Conference. They faced last season's overall runner-up Pistons in the first round!

Without Weber, the 76ers faced this strong defensive team without the slightest resistance. The reason why the "Black Eight Miracle" is called a "miracle" is that there are too many 76ers against the Pistons this season.

It was foreshadowed by the example: the 76ers were swept out 0-4.

Lian Feng returned to China in a low-key manner, and then bought several luxury houses and a piece of land in places like Beijing and Shanghai. In this era, house prices and land prices are not expensive, and with Lian Feng's current financial resources, he can still spend a little money.

The purpose of doing this is of course not to make a lot of money. On the one hand, I want to live by myself, and on the other hand, I plan to use the two pieces of land to build a private arena.

Later, Lian Feng hired a nanny at his own home to take care of his daily life, and began a boring and leisurely life of recuperation, surfing the Internet and watching TV games in his free time.

This year's playoffs are almost the same as in history. Although there is a little butterfly like Lian Fu, he did not even affect the game except for the Bucks being swept out and Bogut getting slapped in the face.

Big score.

Lian Feng discovered that as long as he was not directly involved, history would still be brought back on track, just like there was a force in the dark.

This game brought back too many memories for Lian Feng. Gu

In the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs, LeBron led the Cavaliers to eliminate the Wizards 4-2, and then lost to the Pistons 3-4. But this was only LeBron's first year in the playoffs, and the future was indeed his. However, he

In the regular season MVP competition, he lost to Nash.

And Nash, just like history, met Kobe in the first round of the Western Conference, who had just won the annual scoring champion and was the most terrifying in his career!

Even the forwards knew what happened next. Kobe was overturned. He played his most brilliant season, dragging several CBA-level teammates into the playoffs, but was reversed and eliminated in the first round.

Next, Nash met his old club, the Mavericks, in the Western Conference Finals for the second consecutive year and was beaten 4-2 by the driver.

In the end, it was the Heat and the Mavericks who stood in the finals.

Lian Feng watched the entire game.

The Mavericks and the Heat fought fiercely for 6 games. Except for the controversial whistle, I have to say that Wade's performance in the finals has been called a king! In only his third year, he led the team to win the championship and won the finals MVP.

For a time, Wade became the most popular star, with countless complimentary words pouring in.

Lian Feng looked at Wade under the spotlight, and couldn't help but feel envious... and desire!

Since someone must win, why isn’t that person me?

After the finals, two months have passed since the injury, and Lian Feng has actually recovered with the help of the system. And his private basketball stadium is also under construction.

He needs such a private space. In China, he will not be disturbed when training. Such an arena is a must.

The planned area of ​​the arena is not large, only as big as two standard courts. There is a standard basketball court planned inside, and there are various special training facilities and equipment in other spaces.

At the same time, the arena is also equipped with five-star accommodation rooms, entertainment facilities, etc. These expenses cost Lian Feng a lot of money. He currently only has 8 million US dollars in endorsement fees for the Fengying series. During this period

When the expenses come down, a lot of money will be spent.

Fortunately, just when things were a bit tense, Fengying brought good news. Last year's sales dividends for Fengying 1 generation were received.

The original contract between Jordan and AJ was similar, both were divided into sales dividends. This is different from equity dividends. Some people think that sales dividends are a scam. People who say this obviously confuse the concepts of "sales dividends" and equity dividends.

Equity dividends involve decisions made by shareholders' meetings, company accounts and operating losses, etc. It is indeed possible to not receive money throughout the year, but it is impossible to fake sales dividends. Jordan relies on this mechanism to earn nearly hundreds of millions of dollars every year AJ

sales bonus.

Lian Feng was shocked on the spot when he found out how much money the Feng Ying 1st generation had brought him.

In the first half of the year alone, Lian Feng earned US$8 million!

Of course, there is still a big gap compared with the hundreds of millions in income that AJ brought to Jordan, but Lian Feng is not in a hurry. He believes that one day he will be able to make Feng Ying a global trend!

With the money, Lian Feng accelerated the construction of the arena.

At the same time, with the beginning of the offseason, the selection of the season's major awards has also officially begun. At the same time, the trading market has also opened, and it is time for those outstanding team managers to show their talents.

Ordinary fans have not studied the trading market and think that trading is just a game between you and me. In fact, it involves a game that takes into account the application of league rules, the relationship between the parties, the psychology of the players and other factors.

It can be said that the ability of a team's management depends largely on his level in the trading market.

However, at this time, players often leave these matters to their agents, and they can just enjoy their lives comfortably.

Two things happened to Lian Feng.

One thing is that ESPN announced the results of the major awards.

At the end of a long season, in addition to the championship title, the most attention-grabbing items are of course the individual awards of the season.

With his outstanding performance in the last game, Lian Feng became the key to the 76ers entering the playoffs. He narrowly defeated Paul and won the Rookie of the Year. He and Paul were also selected to the All-Rookie First Team.

In addition, in the fans' vote to determine the NBA's best shot of the year award, Lien Feng has two on the list! They are the best block: the ball that blocked Wade.

Winning shot of the year: The knee-ligament-breaking shot against Wade.

The second place in the voting also went to Lian Feng, and it was the classic goal that defeated the Rockets.

Wade's background board has been on the list twice, and the "most valuable background board" has become a favorite joke among fans.

For Lian Feng, his first NBA rookie season came to a successful conclusion. Although the honors he achieved cannot be said to be unparalleled, they are definitely pretty good.

Selected as an All-Star.

Rookie for a while.

Best Rookie.

Two best shots.

Of course, there is also this injury, which can be regarded as a change of direction.

Another thing is that the 76ers made a wave of operations that he couldn't understand at all.

CAA called and said, "Lian Feng, the 76ers are negotiating with us. They are prepared to give up the team option, but will make you a qualifying offer and sign a contract with you for at least three years."

Lian Feng was shocked on the spot. What... what kind of operation is this?

Don’t they know that they are bound by the Arenas clause, and the contract they offer can only reach the middle class in the first two years? If they do this, it’s better that other teams don’t react. Once a smart person discovers Arenas,

Due to the loopholes in Sri Lanka's terms, it is almost certain that he will be poached.

Lian Feng has no loyalty to the 76ers next season.

Suddenly, Lian Feng understood.

It’s 2006 now! It’s only been a year since the Arenas Clause came out! The league’s original intention of introducing this clause was to protect the interests of the parent team, so many people still don’t realize that the Arenas Clause will lead to poison contracts!

What is a Poison Contract?

To put it bluntly, other teams took advantage of the Arenas clause's third-year salary limit loophole to offer a disgusting contract with the parent team. It was because of the poisonous contract that the Rockets were able to poach Jeremy Lin from the Knicks.

Arenas' terms stipulate that qualified players will be given a mid-level contract in the first year, with an increase of 8% in the second year, and no limit in the third year. Therefore, there will be a loophole, that is, the invitation contract can be mid-level + mid-level + maximum salary.

form.

For example, this year's salary cap has been introduced, and the middle class is 5 million. Other teams can offer a three-year contract of 500+500+1500 to invite Lian forward, with a total value of 25 million. Of course, the 76ers can match it, but they will face a

Question: The salary space of this contract of the inviting team is calculated based on the annual average, that is, it only takes up 8 million salary space each year, and 7

The salary space for the six players is calculated separately. It was fine in the first two years, but in the third year it will suddenly take up 15 million of the 76ers' space. You must know that the salary cap in this era is only about 50 million, and the top star's annual salary is only 1,500.

It is obviously impossible for 76 to match him with such a deformed contract. It will either lock up the salary space for three years or pay a huge luxury tax in the third year!

If he is healthy, the 76ers may still take a gamble, but now that he is injured, expectations are uncertain, and there are too many uncertainties, the 76ers may have to let him go.

In order to maximize Lian Feng's interests, CAA started operations immediately after the 76ers proposed it. Not only did it compete with the 76ers to increase the amount of the qualification contract, but it also secretly contacted those players who had the ability to offer poison contracts.

Team.

Lian Feng couldn't help but sigh, Americans are really not soft when it comes to cheating Americans!

Lian Feng originally planned to choose skills, but these two things suddenly made him decide to wait and see first, and then choose skills according to the situation...

Next, under the covert operation of CAA, the 76ers happily offered Lian Feng a mid-level contract worth RMB 500 in the first year. Unexpectedly, the next day, numerous teams offered Lian Feng

invitation contract.

The 76ers were suddenly stunned. Only then did they realize that they had made a fatal mistake! Previously, because of the mid-level exception, they felt confident that they could match all offers, but now they realized that matching the contracts of those teams would give the team

What kind of hidden dangers does it bring!

Damn it, isn’t the Arenas Clause used to protect the parent team? Can you still play like this?

Morey is smiling.

Lian Feng looked at these invitations and fell into deep thought. The previous teams Lian Feng had figured it out, because they all had ample salary space, especially the Hornets and Bobcats, which exceeded 20 million, so they signed the contract.

He could still make a wave of reinforcements! But the knight actually extended an invitation, which surprised him.

James is missing a second boss?

(Tell me, which team should you choose?)
