Chapter 209 Poaching

Chen Yu couldn't remember where he had read a report saying that the Suns were a team with strong offensive potential.

Because these team veterans, former superstars, and stars, while they are still healthy, no one knows whether they will suddenly break out.

In this game, Ewing clearly broke out.

"Fake!"

Looking up at the final score, Adelman, an always elegant old man, couldn't help but curse.

94:101.

The king lost!

Adelman recalled the memory of the entire game and tried to find the reason for the loss.

Suns home court?

Maybe not. The Kings' performance in this game was normal. Peja found his touch from the outside and made 7 of 5 three-pointers, scoring a team-high 26 points.

Others also performed well. On the whole, they still played fairly smoothly and were not too affected by the home game.

Of course, not guarding Hardaway should be one of the reasons.

Hardaway made 17 of 10 in this game and once again scored 26 points efficiently.

Adelman didn't think anything of it.

He is not a nobody, he is a superstar, the successor of the famous Jordan. It is not that easy to completely prevent him.

But what Adelman didn't expect was that Ewing, a truly 40-year-old guy, seemed to be having a flashback after the whole game, scoring 22 points.

He only scored 8 points in the last game.

The depressed Adelman didn't wake up until a reporter's flashbulb shone on his face during the post-game press conference.

"Sorry, what's your question?" Adelman came back to his senses and looked at the reporter who asked the question.

The reporter who asked the question glanced at Adelman in confusion and repeated his question again: "Rick, what do you think of Ewing's 22 points and 9 rebounds, especially when he is 40 years old? Is it because of Patrick’s outstanding performance that the Kings lost this game?”

Adelman frowned and replied quickly and formulaically: "This is incredible, yes, he is 40 years old, he has been in the league for 17 years, but he is still one of the best centers on the planet, 伱Look, he can still score 20 points, which is not easy."

As he said this, Adelman couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

Do you want to complain about Chen Yu?

In this game, as expected before the game, both Ewing and Olajuwon once again appeared for a long time.

Olajuwon played 42 minutes, and Ewing also played a full 40 minutes.

No need to think about it. When they came back from the second half, the two were still alive and kicking. Adelman knew whose credit it was.

But when the words came to his lips, Adelman swallowed them back.

That was Chen Yu, a member of the Alliance.

Moreover, when playing in this league, who can dare to say that he will be healthy throughout his life, and which head coach is not worried that his players will be injured, and good talents will be reduced to waste due to injuries.

No, Weber was injured at the beginning of the season, and it was all Chen Yuzhi's fault.

Complaining about such a top doctor is obviously not a good choice.

As for Chen Yu cheating and usually helping the Suns, think about it from another perspective. Now Chen Yu is the team doctor of the Suns. What if next season, he becomes the team doctor of another team?

For example, the king, wouldn't that be very cool?

If I remember correctly, the media reported that the contract between Chen Yu and the Suns was signed once a year, and it will be signed as soon as the season ends.

If you can poach players, why can't you poach team doctors?

Rather than publicly complaining and accusing Chen Yu, and then not knowing what the final outcome will be, it is better to figure out how to lure Chen Yu to Saramento in Xia Tian.

Thinking of this, Adelman's mind suddenly broadened.

Putting aside Chen Yu's off-field factors, the game must be played. Even if these veterans can play healthy for 40 minutes, his age is here after all. If he is really at his peak, then Ewing is not as simple as scoring 22 points. It may be 30 minutes, 40 minutes.

Therefore, Chen Yu's methods have an impact, but the impact is not that big.

If Divac had defended better and Ewing had more energy, would he have scored 22 points?

You still have to find the reason within yourself.

Therefore, when faced with reporters' questions again, Adelman was in a better mood after thinking about it. He felt that what he should consider most now was how to win the game the day after tomorrow.

Adelman's idea is obviously not unique.

The day after the competition, Chen Yu's clinic received an unexpected guest.

Mavericks head coach Nelson.

He is not only the head coach of the Mavericks, but also the general manager of the Mavericks.

Chen Yu took Nelson to visit his clinic. While visiting, he was thinking about Nelson's purpose. Are any Mavericks players injured?

I haven't seen any news reports.

Moreover, the Mavericks are on vacation. Even if a player is really injured, that is also a personal matter for the player. The player should come to the door himself.

"In other words, these high-tech equipment have been used in Sun's daily training?" Old Nelson looked at the huge floating cabin curiously, his tone full of disbelief.

There is also a large amount of equipment that fills the entire rehabilitation center.

Even he, a veteran who has been in the league for almost 40 years, feels like an eye-opener.

Chen Yu said a little strangely: "At the beginning of the season, I remember that I compiled a lot of training information and suggestions and sent them to each of your teams. The training methods and training equipment I mentioned are all recorded in them. Yes, what, are you useless?"

Some equipment is exclusive to NASA and is not easy for them to obtain, but some equipment, such as ultra-low temperature freezing chambers, can be obtained with money.

"We plan to use it." A flash of embarrassment flashed in Old Nelson's eyes.

They got the information, but quickly shelved it. They are still skeptical about so-called high-tech equipment, such as ultra-low temperature freezing chambers. Why, you can't soak in ice buckets, right?

As for the training equipment and methods, each team spends so much money to support the trainers, are they all doing it for free?

Moreover, the players are different, and the training methods are also different. If Nelson thinks about it, the training methods of the Suns cannot be directly applied to the Mavericks players.

Finally, I have been a coach for more than 20 years, so do I still need to use someone to train players?

There was also the Wu Qin Xi, which he wanted to promote, but the players were not happy with it, so in the end he had no choice but to let it go.

That psychological chat, anyway, Nelson doesn't know how Chen Yu can continue to promote in the Suns. He wants to have a heart-to-heart relationship with the players, but the players don't have a heart-to-heart relationship with him.

"Chen." In order to cover up the embarrassment, Nelson immediately changed the subject and talked about his purpose: "This season is about to end. Have you ever considered coming to Dallas to work? We are very sincere and willing to offer you a job." Annual salary of $80.”

Chen Yu looked at Old Nelson in surprise, "Are you here to poach people?"

"Sorry Tang, I have no idea of ​​leaving Phoenix yet?" Chen Yu simply shook his head.

My own clinic and career are in Phoenix, why should I leave?

And it’s only 80 US dollars. Does this mean you are sincere?

With my current qualifications, there is no way I can earn this 80 annual salary.

At the same time, Chen Yu doesn't have a good impression of the Mavericks, or the Mavericks' boss Cuban.

It seems that you can do it, and you still complain to the alliance, you are a petty person, working under such a boss, just waiting to be punished.

Although the assets of Colangelo and his son are not rich enough, they at least trust people enough. They are willing to support Chen Yu no matter what he does. This is much better than Cuban.

Old Nelson was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Chen Yu to refuse so simply. He wanted to say more, but was stopped by Chen Yu.

"Tang, you don't have to say anything anymore. I really have no intention of leaving Phoenix." Chen Yu refused again.

Old Nelson opened his mouth and closed it.

However, this time he came to the clinic and found nothing. Nelson suddenly realized that he might have missed a precious treasure at the beginning of the season.

He decided to look through the information given by Chen Yu and study it carefully when he went back.

"Why is he here?" Jordan asked curiously as he watched Nelson leave in the car.

With Nelson's qualifications, Jordan always comes to see him when he comes to the clinic.

"What do you think?" Chen Yu said with a smile.

Jordan rolled his eyes at Chen Yu: "Don't say I'll knock him down."

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave, but after taking two steps away, he suddenly turned around and asked, "Isn't he here to poach you?"

Chen Yu was stunned. This old gangster was quite smart.

Seeing Chen Yu's acquiescence, Jordan exclaimed and hurriedly said: "Are you planning to leave Phoenix? Why don't you go to Dallas? Come to Washington. The annual salary is one million. It's not enough for us to talk about it. Anyway, I will soon become the owner of the Wizards. When you come to Washington, whatever you want to do, I agree with you."

If Chen Yu hadn't already expressed that he was not ready to leave Phoenix, Jordan would have hired people long ago. Why are you waiting for Nelson to come all the way?

"Go and train honestly." Chen Yu waved his hand and turned to leave.

I really have no idea about leaving Phoenix.

Where to go, find another city that is also a big city and has a better climate than Phoenix.

On May 5th, the Suns and Kings played in G11.

After leading 2-1, Skiles now just wants to take advantage of the home court advantage and win another game.

With a 3-1 lead, the chances of winning are huge.

The Kings are obviously aware of this. Before the game, Adelman stated directly in the locker room that he regarded this game as a tiebreaker and must win.

"Vlad, I don't care what you do, you can never let Ewing score more than 20 points again." Rarely, a stern expression appeared on Adelman's face.

Divac nodded vigorously. He was on fire after being beaten by Ewing in the last game.

Just throw it if you can't guard it, and you won't be able to play the whole game smoothly.

In this game, Skiles' strategy was still the same and continued from the previous game. Chen Yu was still there anyway, so why did he change his tactics.

In response to Peja's outbreak in the last game, Skiles also made targeted arrangements to strengthen the defense on the flanks.

However, Scales never dreamed that in this game, the Kings' five starting players were not hit, but instead, the substitutes were hit.

Bobby Jackson!

This little-known bench player turned into a bench gangster and determined the direction of the game.

When he came on as a substitute in the second quarter, he unexpectedly broke out. Facing Hardaway, who was on the bench and replaced him at the No. 3 position, he scored 3 consecutive -pointers. In one of his shots, he even shot directly at Hardaway. Yes, it is simply a fairy ball.

His outburst suddenly made Adelman notice this faster guy and intentionally increased his playing time in the second half.

Anyway, Bibby performed poorly in this series. With his strong upper body strength, it was very difficult for him to be defended against the strong and tall Kidd.

Might as well try the faster, more agile Bobby Jackson.

This change of tactics worked wonders.

It's not that Kidd can't guard Bobby Jackson. Kidd is now at his peak. He needs to be physical, have footwork, and his experience is not bad at all.

Now, he can be said to be a top ruthless player who can defend from the first to the third position. Apart from his poor shooting, he has almost no shortcomings.

But Bobby Jackson was so unreasonable.

Kidd was not out of position and his defense was in place, but with Bobby Jackson's touch, he really dared to shoot after receiving the ball, and he could score after shooting.

全场15中11,其中三分6中5,爆砍27分。

The key is, he only played 28 minutes.

It can be said that he is a real bench gangster.
