Sports medicine starts with the Sun Miracle Doctor

Chapter 122

new York.

Madison Square Garden Arena.

Rookies gather, today is the annual draft.

In the office belonging to the Sun, Chen Yu, Brian, and Scales were sitting together toasting and chatting.

"Chen, have you read the news? I heard that the Wizards originally wanted to draft the Chinese big man, but the team he belonged to made some incredible conditions. It seems that the Wizards have to pay a buyout of [-] million US dollars. The cost, even to give them a player of the same level.”

"This is just a joke, [-] million US dollars, do they think that big man is Shaq?" Brian complained to Chen Yu after drinking several drinks in a row, with a blush on his face.

Chen Yu was stunned for a moment: "The big Chinese guy you are talking about, is his surname Yao? I heard David talking about him."

Chen Yu didn't know much about the specific situation. Anyway, Chen Yu knew that Stern had always wanted to open up China's NBA market, so he had always planned to let Chinese players participate in the draft.

There seems to be a good prospect this year, named Yao or something.

I didn’t expect that the Wizards actually went to investigate.

"Since Michael is willing to choose him, it means he should be very strong." There must be something special about being targeted by the Wizards who hold the No. [-] pick.

Brian nodded: "That's for sure. I read media reports that he is 7 feet 6 inches tall. He is so tall and extremely flexible. It is incredible. It would be great if we had the No. [-] pick."

Upon hearing this, Scales couldn't help but laugh.

What are you thinking about with the No. [-] pick?

"He didn't participate in the draft this year, so next year, he should participate in the draft. If you really have an idea, let's just mess it up next season." Skiles picked up the glass. If it doesn't work, he, the head coach, can't It’s great.

"Don't talk nonsense." Brian shook his head hurriedly: "Next season, our goal is to win the championship!"

Speaking of this, he glanced at Chen Yu.

Next season, where the Solar goes, it really depends on Hardaway and Chen Yu.

Chen Yu ignored his look. He had already said more than once how Hardaway would recover.

"You should worry about how to sign Hakeem first." Chen Yu said.

Brian shrugged nonchalantly: "At worst, give the Rockets two draft picks. If they want to rebuild, they will always agree."

Olajuwon has been with the Rockets for so many years, and he will definitely not leave for free. There will always be some price to pay.

Anyway, next year we are going for the championship, so the draft picks are not valuable.

Chen Yu couldn't help but laugh: "Why do I feel like you have already booked the championship for next year?"

Brian chuckled, picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Scales.

He feels that the lineup of Olajuwon, Robinson, Marion, Hardaway and Kidd is completely enough.

Skiles said: "It depends on how much power Hakeem can retain. I don't ask for much. I just need him to limit O'Neal."

In the West, if they want to win the championship, the Lakers must not be able to bypass the mountain.

And against the Lakers, the most critical thing is the inside.

Although Olajuwon is older, he should be very experienced in dealing with O'Neal, and even if he is older and cannot be guarded, he still has stable output.

Through offense, it is also possible to defeat the Lakers.

"So we also need a human shield-type inside line." Scales added.

Gugliotta is also a technical center and prefers mid-range shots close to the frame. The Suns still need to accumulate an inside player who is strong enough and heavy enough to chase and intercept O'Neal in the paint.

Chen Yu nodded: "So let's choose Elton Ford. After all, he weighs 270 pounds."

This year, the Suns only have one second-round pick.

So I simply tried out a few players, and Chen Yu also participated in the whole process, mainly responsible for the health review of the players.

Among the three players in the trial, the heaviest was Elton Ford from the University of Houston.

He is strong enough, 270 pounds, 124 kilograms.

At this point, Chen Yu couldn't help but complain: "So, what did you ask me to do? Don't you know that my clinic is very busy?"

Originally, there was no first-round pick, just a second-round pick like a lottery. When he came, he would just accompany him. Chen Yu didn't want to come at all.

And there is no precedent for a team doctor to follow the draft.

Brian raised his glass: "Travel at official expense, five-star hotel, isn't this reason enough?"

"enough."

Chen Yu picked up the wine glass and thought to himself, if it weren't for this, you wouldn't think I would come.

Just as he was talking, Stern was already on the stage on TV, and the draft officially began.

Chen Yu sat up a little straighter, and he was actually quite curious about who the top pick was.

"I read reports that Michael is planning to come back again?" Skiles said on TV as the host was discussing the Wizards' options.

Chen Yu was stunned: "You're still coming back?"

How old is the old gangster this year? He must be 38.

Brian on the opposite side curled his lips disdainfully: "That's fake news, news that Abi Paulin deliberately released to hype up the news."

Chen Yu nodded in agreement. When he met David Falcao before, he had never heard him say anything about Jordan's comeback.

The key is that at this age, why are you making a comeback?

Off the court, the Wizards made a quick choice.

Kwame Brown! "It is indeed him." Brian curled his lips and said in a sour tone: "He has strong upper limbs, excellent athletic ability, and has speed and explosiveness that are unmatched by inside players. His skills are comprehensive enough. He doesn't look like a high school student at all. If we Got it, let Hakeem take him for two years, he can definitely become an All-Star level player."

Chen Yu stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes.

"what?"

Chen Yu teased: "Let me see if you woke up and got him. He is the first high school student to be picked first. You don't even have a first-round pick, but you still miss him. And you asked Hakeem to take him for two years." , don’t forget, you haven’t signed Hakeem yet.”

"By the way, there are quite a few teams pursuing Hakeem." Chen Yu added.

After Olajuwon completed the operation, Zeng Jin accepted an interview with reporters and said that Chen Yu told him that the operation was successful and could completely solve the problems of his knee and back injuries. He is now recovering well and will be ready for next season. Must be able to stay healthy or something.

A healthy Olajuwon, although he is 38 years old, is attractive enough.

I haven't seen Ewing, who is one year older than him, still starting for the Sonics.

Therefore, before the trading market opened, there were many rumors about Olajuwon.

The Magic, Raptors, and Heat all have thoughts on him.

Even the Rockets themselves felt like they had let go of a big fish. Some media reported that Alexander had gone back on his word and did not want to let go of this team hero.

Chen Yu's words made Brian blush, and he snorted: "Chen, just watch, I will definitely sign Hakeem."

The draft went quickly and the number one pick was confirmed. Chen Yu didn't pay much attention to the next draft.

In the second round, the Suns also selected Elton Ford as promised.

Chen Yu sent Lexi a message and asked her where she would go to play later.

During this period of time, Lexi was also very busy, so she took the opportunity to bring her out to relax.

Baggio's meniscus has not yet waited for a suitable transplant, so the operation can only be postponed.

Before Lexi responded to the text message, Stern sent a text message to Chen Yu. He knew that Chen Yu had arrived at the scene. After a while, he asked Chen Yu to wait for him.

Chen Yu frowned slightly, guessing why Stern was looking for him.

Is it the players union?

Chen Yu got the news and called Ewing to find out that he was planning to step down as chairman of the players union.

The selection of who will be the next president of the Players Association has not yet begun.

Not only is he the head of the league's player health management department, but he also belongs to the players union. After all, the players union still pays half of the salary.

Could it be that Stern wants to woo himself and recommend candidates he supports?

Not long after, the draft officially ended as the Spurs selected the last rookie.

Brian stood up, tapped Scales on the shoulder, and asked Scales to meet Elton Ford on his behalf.

A second-round pick, he didn't bother to go.

Chen Yu did not follow Brian back to the hotel, but turned to look for Stern.

In a luxurious private room in the theater, Chen Yu met Stern.

There was also a middle-aged man at the scene, and the two were chatting.

Seeing Chen Yu come in, they both stood up at the same time.

"Chen, let me introduce you." Stern pointed at the middle-aged man and introduced Chen Yu.

"Football Association?"

Chen Yu was really stunned for a moment.

The middle-aged white man in front of me, who is short in stature, has a small head, and has big ears, is actually Robert Contiguglia, the chairman of the United States Soccer Federation. By the way, he is also a doctor.

The key is that Chen Yu didn't even know there was a football association in the United States.

After all, in the United States, football is such a niche sport.

Contiguglia is a kind-hearted person. Looking at Chen Yu's expression, he guessed what Chen Yu was thinking, and said a little depressed: "Chen, have you forgotten that we also held the World Cup. "

Chen Yu was stunned again.

Yes, the United States even hosted the 94 World Cup.

However, 7 years ago, he seemed to be still in medical school. Maybe he was too busy studying. Chen Yu had no memory of this matter at all.

"Sorry, nice to meet you." Feeling a little rude, Chen Yu quickly shook hands with the other person and apologized.

Contiguglia waved his hands indifferently. He had obviously encountered this kind of thing too many times.

The three of them sat down and after a brief polite exchange, Chen Yu asked Kandi Guglia what he wanted from him.

Conti Guglia came to New York on a business trip, and he met Stern. When the United States established the Major League Soccer League, he often asked Stern for advice. It happened to be in time for the draft, so I came over to join in the fun.

Then during the chat, I heard that Chen Yu was also there, so I asked to see Chen Yu.

"Well, there is a player in the national team. I don't know if you have heard of it. His name is Landon Donovan. He is very young and very good. He is one of the important players of the national team. Last year he was in He played in Germany, but during the winter break, he returned to the United States on loan and played for the San Jose Earthquakes in California."

"He has always had problems with his right groin, always strained, and repeatedly bad. I have been paying attention to him, and I have also paid attention to you. I know that you perform surgeries and treatments for world-class stars such as Ronaldo and Redondo."

As the president of the U.S. Soccer Federation, Conti Guglia knows better than anyone else what people like Ronaldo represent and how high their status is in the football world.

"So I want to ask you to help deal with Landon's injury. At the same time, I also want to invite you to be the team doctor for the national team next year." Conti Guglia said with a smile.

Dealing with Donovan's injury is one thing. Conti Guglia wants to see Chen Yu. The bigger reason is to invite Chen Yu to become the national team's doctor.

What is missing is a top orthopedic expert with excellent medical skills and knowledge of sports medicine.
