Sports medicine starts with the Sun Miracle Doctor

Chapter 236 That’s O’Neal, who doesn’t want it?

After this game is over, the next game will not start until the 9th. There is plenty of time. There is no need to return to the home court overnight like NBA away games.

So the American team will stay in Niigata today and fly back to Miyazaki tomorrow.

After returning to the hotel, arranging follow-up work, and returning to the room, Chen Yu called Brian.

It was already late at night in the United States, but Chen Yu felt that Brian had just experienced a carnival and had not rested yet.

"Chen, have you lost? If you lose, go back to China quickly. You can still catch up with the last game of the finals. And let me tell you, after winning the finals, we are going to go to Las Vegas to celebrate. All expenses will be paid." , the team will foot the bill!" Brian said with a smile on the phone.

After surpassing the Lakers, the championship is already in the bag, so the old Colangelo has proudly stated that after winning the championship, he will go to Las Vegas to book out the venue to celebrate.

Chen Yu rolled his eyes silently: "I'm sorry to disappoint you. We won, and I feel that we have a good chance of qualifying for the group."

This guy can't hope for anything good, he's on the national team after all.

Who knew, Brian even muttered: "That's quite a pity."

He actually feels that qualifying for the group is worse than not qualifying. Anyway, he can't win the championship. The final result is to go home. The only difference is to go home early or go home late.

Chen Yu said speechlessly: "Why are you talking about this? I'm asking you, if O'Neal wants to come, do you want it?"

Not to mention anything else, after signing Chen Yu, even junk contracts like Hardaway and Gugliotta were turned into treasure.

"Wait for me." Brian hung up the phone in a hurry.

The phone went silent, and only Brian's increasingly heavy breathing could be heard.

It was Brian who called, and he had obviously figured out the situation.

After all, the Suns have just received the No. 1 pick and are about to select a potential center like Yao Ming, and they plan to focus on training him.

Chen Yu turned to take a shower. When he was about to finish washing, his cell phone rang.

One sentence made Brian wake up a lot, and then he said weakly: "What do you mean, are we okay? But you are right, if we really want to celebrate, we have to wait until we really win the championship before celebrating. Now It’s still early.”

He was just celebrating and didn't care about what was going on with the media.

Although Yao Ming is good, has amazing potential, and outstanding talent, after all, he is just a rookie in the NBA and has not proven himself yet.

Hearing this, Chen Yu couldn't help but pour cold water on Brian: "Don't be too arrogant, be careful of extreme happiness leading to sadness. After all, we haven't won the championship yet. No matter how weak the Magic are, they are still the Eastern Conference champions, and they also have Hill. With Tracy McGrady, don’t underestimate the enemy. If you lose in the end and lose the championship, you will become the biggest joke in the history of the league.”

After saying that, he asked Chen Yu why he was calling. Is it to congratulate them?

"Not entirely. I got the news from reporters that O'Neal wants to be traded to the Suns, so I want to ask you what the situation is." Chen Yu asked.

Chen Yu was silent.

That's why I asked.

At this moment, Brian felt that the salary offered to Chen Yu in the previous contract was still low. With this attraction, giving him a maximum salary was not an exaggeration.

Brian knew that Chen Yu, a miracle doctor, was very attractive to players. Olajuwon and Ewing could be attracted to him, but he didn't expect that the attraction would be so great. Even top stars like O'Neal in his playing years were attracted to him. .

"Chen, you will always stay in Phoenix, right?" Brian asked confusedly as soon as he came up.

Brian now wants to laugh three times at the media. He always says that he has bad vision and signed a bunch of junk contracts. How can I say it now? The signing of Chen Yu as the team doctor was the most glorious signing of his career.

On the phone, Brian almost said without hesitation: "Nonsense, of course, that's O'Neal."

If O'Neal is really traded, wouldn't it be a waste to choose Yao Ming again.

Yes, this is O'Neal, who doesn't want that.

As for O'Neal, he has proven that as long as you get him and he is healthy enough, you can win the championship. He is the cornerstone of the dynasty.

Brian continued: "Chen, you said we use the No. 1 pick to trade O'Neal. Will the Lakers agree? I think so. O'Neal wants to leave anyway. Old Buss has always favored guards. If the conflict between O'Neal and Kobe breaks out completely , if he had to choose one, I feel he might choose Kobe."

Kobe is a guard and younger.

"With the No. 1 pick, they can choose Yao Ming, who is also a potential center and can grow with Kobe. I think it is very attractive to them."

Other than that, Brian couldn't think of any other chips that could impress the Lakers.

Hardaway definitely cannot be traded.

Hardaway this season has proven that when healthy, he is the cornerstone of a team's dynasty.

Paired with the aging Olajuwon, they can win the championship, let alone O'Neal, who is still in his prime.

They are as young as their first love, and they can join forces to reach the finals, and now it will only be better.

When he said this, another name popped into Brian's mind.

Kidd!

Looking at this year's playoffs, Brian has actually always had the feeling that Hardaway's role on the court can replace part of Kidd.

It is completely possible to turn Hardaway into the core of the ball, organizing and attacking.

As for Kidd, apart from organization, his offense is really lacking. His shooting has never been perfect.

Of course, Kidd still has defensive ability, but his salary of close to eight to nine million can be exchanged for some purely functional players. The most important thing is that Kidd's contract will expire next summer.

By then, Kidd will definitely ask for a maximum salary contract, and the Suns' salary will explode directly.

Three stars are really too many.

Two stars, just right.

On the way back from the stadium, Chen Yu had actually guessed what Brian would think like this, and even guessed that he would trade the No. 1 pick.

I just feel a little sad for no reason.

Chen Yu actually has a good impression of Yao Ming, a Chinese player.

"Actually, compared to whether you can get O'Neal, after all, this is just your imagination. I think you should worry about how to get rid of Tom's big contract first." Chen Yu added.

This season, Gugliotta, who has returned to health, is playing well, averaging 8.6 points and 5.2 rebounds per game in the regular season.

The performance in the playoffs was also okay.

As a starter, he is still qualified.

But after all, he has a salary of tens of millions, so it is not worth it no matter how you calculate it.

In addition, the length of the contract is long, so it would be wise to seize the opportunity and get rid of this burden.

Otherwise, if the Suns want to remain competitive, they will have to pay the luxury tax.

When mentioning Gugliotta, Bryan became depressed directly. Without saying much, he asked: "Chen, if we can really trade for O'Neal, can you guarantee his health? You also know that his weight He’s so old and he’s getting older, so he’s already starting to suffer from injuries.”

It's all good, but if, like Hardaway, injuries begin to appear after the trade, it will be a big loss.

Although he believed in Chen Yu's medical skills, Brian also needed to hear Chen Yu's words in person before he could do it.

"Don't worry, his problem is not troublesome." Chen Yu said simply.

Just a small problem like a toe or ankle.

To be honest, O'Neal weighs so much and has been playing for so many years. He has not suffered any career-destroying injuries such as cruciate ligament rupture, which is enough to show that his physical talent is outstanding and of a historical level.

He is only 30 years old now. As long as he stays healthy, I dare not say that he will reach 40 like Olajuwon, but in five years, it should be easy to reach 35.

"That's good, I feel confident." Brian felt reassured that no matter whether the transaction could succeed in the end, he could go ahead and do it.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yu felt surged in his heart.

As for O'Neal, this is definitely a historic deal.

But after getting excited, he calmed down and thought about it carefully, and Chen Yu felt that there were still risks in this matter.

For example, whether O'Neal and Hardaway can match up.

In terms of personality, it’s hard to say, I’m afraid that the drama of O’Neal and Kobe competing for the boss will happen again.

In this regard, a young and inexperienced Yao Ming is obviously more suitable.

Even Chen Yu felt that O'Neal was not suitable for Hardaway in terms of playing style.

Hardaway is more suitable to match an inside line like Olajuwon, who can play inside and outside, and can provide pick-and-roll coverage.

Not only was O'Neill unable to do the job, he was also unwilling to do the job.

This season, the Suns are playing very impressive tactically, but if Olajuwon is replaced by O'Neal, I'm afraid it will become a star player like the Lakers.

But Yao Ming also has this problem.

Now Yao Ming is a little thin, but his flexibility is relatively good.

But after entering the NBA, he will have to gain weight in order to compete with strong inside players. No one can guarantee that he can become a rare player like Olajuwon.

So once he gains weight, at his weight, it will be more difficult to provide cover and support for Hardaway like Olajuwon.

And now that Yao Ming has not entered the NBA, no one knows what he will do in the future.

Whether he will fade away like Kwame Brown or become the cornerstone of a team like Duncan is impossible to predict.

So even if O'Neal is good enough, it's still a matter of having your cake and eat it too.

"Forget it, let Brian have the headache."

Chen Yu was just curious about this matter and how to operate it. He couldn't intervene. It had to be decided by Brian and the others.

The most important thing is whether O'Neal can leave is still a question.
