NBA: Start with 2 billion, buy the Knicks

Chapter 238: Injuries

Also fighting for Jiang Chao and Sean Marks.

After all, after last year's draft, everyone knew that the Warriors were trying to cause trouble with the seventh pick. No matter what, Nelson and Wright had to suffer a little.

The Warriors will be led by Monta Ellis, Maggette, Stephen Jackson, Reggie Williams and seventh overall pick Jordan Hill.

Naturally, this season continues to be bad. Jordan Hill is not as magical as Curry and is very mediocre. This season they are ranked 13th in the Western Conference. Last year, they were at the same level as the Knicks. This year, the Knicks have been separated from them by several levels.

.

But the history of the Warriors is similar to that of the Knicks: 1947, 1956, and 1975. There are three championship banners hanging above Oracle. It’s okay to have one more than a traditional giant like the Knicks...

And if it weren't for Jiang Chao's arrival, the Warriors later relied on Kutang to pursue their dreams and added four more teams. It's amazing that they were also a veteran team and completely left the Knicks behind.

The Knicks, who had 43 wins and 19 losses, were completely defeated. The celebrities on the sidelines, including old fan Yan Zu, all came to see the Knicks.

Wu Yanzu was also asked by a reporter on the sidelines who is more handsome, you or boss Jiang Chao:

"I'm more handsome."

The Knicks' violent dunks and mercury-like offense made the home fans feel as if they were on the road. The number of Knicks fans this season must have increased too much.

So Jiang Chao was watching the expression of Don Nelson, the crazy inventor of the Warriors' coaching staff, during the whole process. Don Nelson has been dismissed by the Warriors management recently, and the conflict with Wright has become public.

This made Jiang Chao see the cruelty of the NBA. A coach of this level can only leave the game sadly when the team's performance is not good and he fails to make the right decision.

Otherwise, who will take the blame for not picking good players?

Always management!

It is rare in history for boss Tsai in the future to not sacrifice the management and coaching staff, but not to want Durant. After all, there are only a few All-Star Players League, and a bunch of people from the management and coaching staff can do the job...

"Not too sad."

The most outrageous thing is that Gallinelli was also missed by the Warriors, which means the Knicks proved to the Warriors that their vision and luck are really bad.

You only know regrets when you don't get it, which may be a realistic reflection of the current Warriors management.

Just like your wife is a goddess in the eyes of others.

It looks like he has been in the bowl, maybe he has been abducted by someone richer and more handsome.

Do you think it is possible for the Warriors to use their space and lineup to take down Gallinari and Curry?

It's definitely possible. They are just timid. They didn't expect the Knicks to be so determined and they really want a player. So what if they lose some money or something?

This is why they are not as courageous as Super Boss.

So this game between Curry and Gallinari is more about proving to the scumbags who like themselves but want to scumbag themselves. Now that we have the Knicks, there is no need to contact them. Let’s use this game to completely cut off contact.

.

However, what worried Jiang Chao about this game was that Turk Drew was knocked to the ground by Warriors veteran Stephen Jackson during a defense, and then went to the locker room.

This made Knicks fans excited. Agent is the player that the Knicks will rely on most to enter the playoffs. Nothing will happen to him.

Jiang Chao saw that the point difference on the field was already 20, so he did not continue watching, but rushed to the locker room to visit Turk Drew.

Turkoglu was lying on his back in pain in the Oracle Medical Room. The accompanying doctor said that Jackson hit his spine, which caused Turkoglu's old back injury to relapse, aggravating the spinal strain and causing unbearable pain.

"You mean, he had this kind of injury before?"

Jiang Chao frowned. He had never heard of it, but in fact, every time he watched Turk Drew's defense, he could tell that he bent down too slowly.

On the defensive end, he is not afraid of any back-up confrontation, but he is afraid of switching to a defender to lower his center of gravity and attack him. In this way, he does not have the speed to lower his center of gravity.

The problem on the defensive end is probably related to the injury.

When the agent, who was in great pain, saw his boss coming, he quickly turned around and pretended to be relaxed and said:

"My boss, this bastard Jackson, has become an old enemy of mine, and I got hit hard by him!"

Just kidding, no player wants to let the management see his injuries. Injuries prove that his value has declined. Once, there will definitely be a second time.

So now the 30-year-old agent has to grit his teeth and look careless. He loves the Knicks' youth team too much now, and he is afraid that he will be traded in the off-season.

"Hurry up and turn around and lie down to rest."

"It's okay, I'm giving Gallinelli a chance to perform!"

Jiang Chao didn't want to laugh at all. According to what the team doctor said, the season has come to this point, and the team has more or less suffered injuries. The team doctor said that if it was an ordinary person, they would recommend recuperating the injury before playing sports.

Because the recovery effect is actually very poor while exercising, but the reality is that young and strong professional basketball players generally do not ask for leave easily, and everyone has to grit their teeth.

Otherwise, it would be so embarrassing. It's not like a company asking for leave. Maybe only the boss and a few department colleagues know about it. NBA players asking for leave will be notified globally.

In addition, some fans wear colored glasses and blindly compare themselves to fragile boys, glass people, weak boys, etc... So everyone wants to be perfect if they can attend, and it is very comfortable to have perfect attendance and a tens of thousands of attendance bonuses.

"We didn't force them, did we?"

"No, we are all advising them to rest. For example, Curry's wrist and David Lee's ankle are all things they want to continue to play."

Turk Drew squinted one of his eyes and said with pain:

"Now that we are finally entering the qualifying state, no one wants to affect the team's state because of some minor injuries!"

"You should go back to New York first and arrange an emergency flight for him." Jiang Chao showed no signs of wavering and signaled the doctor to quickly tie Turk Drew on a waist brace and carry him away.

"No, I want to see the game won before leaving."

"I'll just come and see it."

Turk Drew was forcibly put on a plane to New York by the Knicks medical team and returned to New York for treatment. The spine must be maintained 24 hours a day, which is the foundation of a man.

Then Jiang Chao watched the game in the locker room. Curry really vindicated himself, with 21 points and 10 assists, the first double-double in his career.

And Gallinari also showed his worth, making San Francisco scouts marvel at the Italian gun's charm.

Gallinelli is a master of sudden outside shots and scored 26 points, 4 assists and 4 rebounds. His anti-aircraft artillery attributes were undoubtedly demonstrated. Apart from the fact that his passing vision and hands are not as good as Turk Drew, he is a perfect forward shooter!

Warriors president Wright lamented in the audience that this Knicks is completely different from the Knicks they saw under Dolan last season.

Last season, Gallinelli seemed to have a lot of playing time, but the ball rights were all in the hands of a few players. So for the sake of statistics, Gallinelli basically took the ball and used his height to crush it, but in fact, he is tough enough and has physical strength.

It's not as good as Da Laohei, so the efficiency is not high.

But now under Jiang Chao, he has really shown the level he should have as the No. 6 pick in 2008, instead of the one who was injured and stopped last season, and who didn't seem to have brought any of his playing style in Europe.

This actually surprised Jiang Chao. It is definitely a good thing for the management that the players can perform well. Whether they go to get a big contract or stay with the team, they will be a valuable asset.

The Chinese people have a plot against the Italian guns. Jiang Chao still likes his tough style, but his injuries after his career are much scarier than those of Drew. He suffered five serious injuries and four season reimbursements. At the age of 33, he can still return to the game.

peak……

In the end, 98:79, the Knicks won this city.

After the game, the Warriors interviewed Don Nelson, asking the old coach to explain the reasons for the failure. The Crazy Inventor frantically stated directly that there were a bunch of reasons for the loss, but he would not let your media make a fuss about it.

Then he walked away with his sleeves. This behavior and the loss to the Knicks almost caused him to get out of class. In fact, he made it to the last game of the season and was immediately waived in the off-season.

Curry, who was interviewing on behalf of the Knicks, was quite happy wearing a white and orange jersey in the center of Oracle Arena. The content of his interview was all about Turk Drew's injury.

In the end, the reporter really had no choice:

"What do you think the Warriors would be like if you were in the Warriors now?"

Curry:

"I'll carry Ellis's backpack."

Ellis tweeted after the game:

"????First of all, I have not offended anyone in the Knicks! You have all the data about me and you named me as a jerk!"

In fact, there was another second step later. He sent a private message to Sean Marks:

Secondly... I want to come to the Knicks during the off-season, do you need me?

It seems that many stars want to go to New York to make money and win records.

So Ellis is already "harmonious" enough, otherwise with his tattoo, no, with his character, he would definitely directly curse the treasure trove in the Knicks' palm.

With the Knicks' current lineup and salary space, it's definitely a matter of moving in with your bags.

Return to the locker room.

Jiang Chao and others came. When asked by everyone, Jiang Chao first said that the agent was fine and would go back to New York for treatment.

Only then did the players feel relieved. Turk Drew was the backbone of the team that had played in the finals, and his role in the playoffs was much more important than that of Yao off the court.

After they finished washing, Jiang Chao called everyone together to talk.

Injuries are something that the team must always guard against. Neither the team management nor the fans want to see any player on the team get injured, but this is something that cannot be avoided.

The Knicks, excluding Yao who is on hiatus, have an average age of 23, which is young enough, so there are no widespread injuries.

However, several first-year players already have signs of incurable diseases, and Turk Drew also has injuries that exacerbate his degradation on the court, which is something he doesn't want to see.

When mentioning the first-year students, Curry couldn't help but flick his wrist, and the others also shook their legs. It would be better not to mention injuries, but if they did, everyone would feel uncomfortable.

Dayao turned his back. No one knows better than him the feeling of being reimbursed for the season. That may be the most uncomfortable thing for him since he was born. A person who loves playing basketball and a center who played full attendance in the NBA for the first two years suddenly suddenly has a year.

He couldn't play professionally, and no one dared to mention this scar in front of him.

But we have to mention it. No one can avoid the topic of injuries among professional athletes, and the sooner this topic is brought up, the better. Otherwise, long-term injuries will lead to illnesses, which will become more serious and qualitative changes in a few years.

Then Clifford, the coach here who pays attention to physical fitness and defense, came out and said that one way to avoid injuries is to strengthen muscles.

But it was rejected by Jiang Chao. If everyone becomes a muscular man like Howard, then he is no longer an agent or Ritian. Ku Ritian just wants to be cool, and he wants to feel like he can score a goal with a flick of his wrist.

Once you become a muscular man, your shots won't be so smooth.

Tendon meat is a good thing, but not all players have to practice it to death.

And it’s good to practice damage avoidance. It’s okay to be knocked away. The real thing is how to learn to buffer yourself from damage.

Here Jiang Chao continued:

"Well, if any of you are injured, please tell me immediately and you will have a rest for the next game!"

But no one spoke.

Even David Lee, who is the most Buddhist, has not said that he wants to take a break.

"Since you don't say anything, I'll do it myself. Coach Stevens, come here."

"Coming!"

Jiang Chao signaled for the young coach to arrange for a forced rest. It should be safe to enter the playoffs now. It doesn't matter their picks. They are swapped with the Pacers. Next, several main players will take turns to rest one at a time to ensure that they are in good condition.

Playoffs.

"The number of days off does not affect full attendance."

This is a common operation in later generations. In order to protect the players, the playoffs must be entered at the end of the season. If the first four are chaotic, the main players of the following teams will selectively rest.

The representative team is the Spurs, so Sean Marks and Messina are used to it.

The representative figure is the man who was No. 2 on the Spurs later in the season. He only played 50 games in the regular season and played dead, and he tried his best to carry in the playoffs.

The success of the Spurs' rotation method in the playoffs has led to the league developing such a trend. Some superstars are better, only for the last few games, and some players give themselves vacations. What European gods are lawless?

.

The negative example is the Warriors. In order to win 73 games, the players in the playoffs were in a weak state. The 73 wins and the overall runner-up became a joke.

Originally Jiang Chao said this because he thought it would reduce the pressure on the players and give them a chance to take a break. It is not good for him, the boss, to personally give the players a chance to take a break.

I just didn’t expect that even if I said it would not affect the perfect attendance award, no one applauded, but instead they all exploded.

They all looked at the boss with doubtful eyes. They didn't understand why the boss had such an idea. After winning the game tonight, they heard that the boss asked them to take turns to rest, and they all got angry!

Little Fat Matthews stood up directly:

"It is impossible to rest. There is no rest in this life."

Dayao also said in Chinese beside him:

"Boss Jiang, I want to make a comeback, but you want me to rest? It's impossible!"

David Lee:

"As long as my legs don't stop, I will fight to the end!"

Okur is worthy of the Turkish Star and Moon God of War: "I'm rough-skinned and thick-skinned, so I just want to be able to go back to back every day!"

Curry: "The blade will never be a slave, and I will never take a day off!"

"This brat..."

Messina punched him, and it took Curry a season to impress the entire Knicks coaching staff. Not to mention he is a training fanatic. Playing the game is not about shooting outside with an impression of wandering, but thick and hard.

The defense is also much better than expected.

Jiang Chao smiled when he saw everyone's excitement:

"Isn't this for your sake? You will still receive your salary to prevent you from being in a situation like Turk Drew! I can give you reasons for taking turns, such as hip discomfort, diarrhea, sandwich poisoning, etc.

You can do anything like taking care of your children."

"No, no, no! Boss, I don't want it!"

"It's so shameful... Is a stomachache considered a disease? Isn't it okay to just have a bowel movement?"

Hei Bei, the toughest man, made a move like Bruce Lee:

"Boss, I don't need it, I'm not injured! I'm as energetic as I was at the beginning of the season!"

Ibaka:

"If I don't block my opponent every day, my bones will itch. Boss, you can't make me itch! If I take a break, I won't be able to block my opponent for four or five days. I will be miserable!"

Young Marshal: "Who are you hating during the seven days of All-Star Weekend?"

Ibaka: "Didn't I block Rose for a layup in the rookie game?"

…

Finally, Jiang Chao looked at Harden, and Harden said a very classic sentence. Jiang Chao asked why this sentence seemed familiar...
