Sports medicine starts with the Sun Miracle Doctor

Chapter 262 This young man is too arrogant
American West Arena, general manager's office.

Putting down his cell phone, Brian looked up and looked at the O'Brien Championship Trophy on the display shelf not far away.

That's right, Brian temporarily placed this trophy in his office for him to admire. It would not be moved there until the display area was renovated.

Besides this, there is a painting hanging on the wall.

That was a championship ring designed by Brian himself.

Looking at all this, and recalling what Chen Yu said to him just now, a surge of pride surged out of Brian's heart.

This is the country that I have built!

Taking a deep breath, Brian no longer hesitated, grabbed the phone on the table, and dialed the number again.

At the same time, the Lakers management team has arrived in New York.

They still have a first-round pick and will make a decision tonight.

Kupchak opened his mouth slightly, looking confused.

After saying that, Brian hung up the phone directly, and there was only a busy signal coming from the phone.

"If you agree to trade O'Neal, I will use this year's No. 1 pick, plus Olajuwon, Tom Gugliotta, and Te'on Hill in exchange for three players. If you don't agree, then what about O'Neal? The deal is over."

But the discussion still needs to be discussed. With the Lakers' current lineup and salary, they can only draw a lottery among the rookies.

At this moment, Kupchak had one thought in his mind: This young man is so powerful!

Rogers' original words were that I don't know, and I need to wait for O'Neal to make a decision.

Several people were looking at the draft reports of several potential targets and the game data of previous years. While they were discussing, Kupchak's phone vibrated.

And he said so decisively that he gave the Lakers 8 hours to think about it. For those who didn't know, they thought it was the Lakers begging the Suns to trade.

"Okay, I wish you a good day."

"Brian, what's wrong?" Kupchak asked calmly.

They already knew about O'Neal running to Phoenix.

Jackson, who was sitting opposite, immediately became energetic and signaled Kupchak to go out. He was now very concerned about the movements of the Suns, or in other words, the movements of O'Neal.

On the phone, Brian's voice was equally calm: "Mitch, let's not go around in circles. It's ten o'clock in the morning, and there are still nine hours before the draft starts at seven o'clock in the evening. I'll give you eight hours to discuss and decide. I hope to receive a call from you before six o'clock to know the final result."

After picking up the phone and checking the phone number again to confirm that he had not received a fake call, Kupchak looked up at the crowd and said with a wry smile: "Guys, it seems that the sun has shown its cards. Tell us. What should we do?”

"It's the sun." He said hastily and answered the phone.

After seeing the number clearly, he immediately raised his hand to signal everyone present to be quiet.

Shocked!

Taking advantage of the last moment, Kupchak was still discussing the final choice with Jackson. In fact, there were not many choices for this pick at the end of the first round. It was almost like gambling in the second round.

Jackson almost cursed on the phone. You are an agent. If you don't know, I know. If there are any conditions, just open it. Why are you playing charades here?

Jackson immediately contacted Perry Rogers and wanted to ask O'Neal what he thought.

O'Neal, the most dominant center in the league, you just finished such a blockbuster deal in just a few words?

"Eight hours is too short." Assistant coach Kurt Rambis frowned.

Others nodded, wondering how such a major deal could be decided so quickly.

And what everyone has been thinking about is to postpone it until the ball market opens, waiting for the Suns to play their cards first, and then they make a decision.

Unexpectedly, the Suns played their cards and dropped four 2s.

Jackson took off his glasses, wiped them with his fingers and put them back on, and then said: "Everyone, we really need to seriously consider this matter, and we can no longer take any chances."

Although rumors are flying everywhere, O'Neal's attitude is unclear, and the Suns are also interested, the Lakers management has been holding on to a fluke mentality, imagining that one day when they open their eyes, O'Neal will change his mind and want to stay with the Lakers.

But now it seems that they are overthinking everything.

O'Neal went to Phoenix and made his position clear. The Suns were even more unreasonable. On the last day of the draft, they were given 8 hours to consider. If it didn't work, they would directly close the deal.

"Jim, contact your father and ask about his attitude." Jackson looked at Jim Bass.

Little Bas nodded and quickly left the room.

Jackson looked at the crowd again: "Let's discuss the chips the Suns paid first."

Everyone sighed and nodded one after another.

Kupchak rubbed his temples, trying to clear his mind, and then said: "It cannot be said that the Suns are very sincere, they still have their own little thoughts."

Jackson nodded in agreement.

How old is Olajuwon? Although he maintained a good state with the Suns last season, he will leave the Suns next season without Chen Yu. Who knows what his state will be like.

However, there is still a two-year contract worth 1200 million yuan.

The same goes for Gugliotta. After Chen Yu's treatment last season, his condition improved and he performed well in the playoffs. However, he has the same problem. The contract is too big and there are still several years left. Even Te'Lon Hill is the same. Next year's contract of 660 million is also not small.

Of course, like Gugliotta, he suffered a serious meniscus tear and then received treatment from Chen Yu. He has been very healthy since his comeback last season. Although he has no offensive ability, he is still a good defensive player. Blue collar.

Therefore, in Jackson's view, the Suns are taking advantage of this opportunity to dump all the contracts they don't want to the Lakers.

However, these are all used to balance the transaction, and the real bargaining chip is the No. 1 pick.

A No. 1 pick is worth an All-Star player.

It is simply a dream to expect that the Suns will give the No. 1 pick and a bunch of high-quality contracts in their prime years.

At this time, another assistant coach Frank Hamblen said: "Actually, Hakeem is not bad. He can lead Yao and help Yao grow faster."

The Yao Ming draft template announced by the NBA official website is Rick Schmitz, the second overall pick in 88.

However, many media believe that Yao Ming and Olajuwon have many similarities.

Therefore, trading for Olajuwon, not to mention how he can maintain his condition, bringing the old with the new, and bringing along Yao Ming is also a good choice.

Kupchak nodded thoughtfully, and was immediately startled by his own thoughts. He had already begun to discuss what happened after the transaction. Didn't he already agree to the transaction by default?

"Phil, since the Suns are pushing us so hard, then we should give Shaq a clear attitude and tell him directly that if he is willing to stay with the Lakers, everything will continue as usual. If he is not willing, we will trade him directly. .”

Speaking of this, Kupchak also felt a little unhappy. These days, his hair has turned a lot gray because of O'Neal.

Brian, a stupid young man, came to force himself, so why couldn't he force O'Neal.

Jackson thought for a while, nodded, and then said: "Let's wait until Jim comes back."

Not long after, little Bas returned and shook his head at everyone: "Father said he hasn't thought about it yet. He asked you to discuss a result first, and then he makes a decision."

Jackson looked like I knew it was going to be like this and nodded at Kupchak, telling him to call Perry Rogers now.

When he received the call, O'Neill was already staying at Chen Yu's clinic.

The environment here is beautiful, and there is also a huge entertainment center with all kinds of entertainment facilities. You can bask in the sun if you have nothing to do, and then go to the rehabilitation center to take a bath, have a cry at the ultra-low temperature, and even have a chat with Joe the gangster. Talk about business investments and listen to him brag about his ambitions of becoming a team owner after retirement. Don’t be too comfortable in your small life.

So O'Neill stayed happily.

O'Neal was playing indoor golf with Jordan when he got the call from Rogers.

"Did Mickey say that?" O'Neal frowned.

Whatever you say, give yourself 6 hours to think about it and ask yourself if you want to stay with the Lakers. What do they think of you? A dispensable rookie who arrogantly handed over a contract. Do you want to sign it or not?
I am Shaquille O'Neal!

Rogers heard that O'Neal's tone was wrong, and quickly smoothed things over: "Shaq, although Mitch's original words are like this, I think they hope to get a definite commitment from you before the draft, because this will affect their selection in the draft. Operations at the General Assembly.”

Kupchak didn't say that Bryan would give them eight hours to think about it.

O'Neill snorted softly, still feeling very unhappy.

"Is it about a trade again?" At this time, Jordan, who was finishing his swing next to him, turned his head and said with contempt: "Shaq, you are the best center in the league. What's the result? I think back then, the Knicks wanted to I, Dolan, just handed me a blank check and asked me to fill in any number."

"Although they have no chance to get me, this is the attitude I want, because I am the best player on the planet. Look at you again. The Magic management actually published a newspaper asking you if your contract was worth 100 million. , it’s just hilarious.”

Jordan sneered, still the same, mocking and flattering himself.

Moreover, there have been trade rumors about this matter since the end of the Western Conference Finals, and it has been delayed until now. Is it just a soap opera?

These words made O'Neal feel embarrassed.

If the opponent was not Jordan, he would want to punch him.

"Shaq, what did you think about it?" Rogers was still asking on the phone.

O'Neal pressed the phone first, and then said to Jordan: "Michael, you play first, I'll answer the phone."

Jordan waved his hand impatiently.

O'Neal walked away with an aggrieved face, feeling unsatisfied and depressed like waves one after another.

Jordan's words seemed unintentional, but they poked a hole in O'Neal's lungs.

Especially when the Magic management published a newspaper article asking fans whether he was worth a 100 million contract, it was simply a shame and a huge insult.

And now, the Lakers have made the same mistake again.

Why don't these bastards use their brains to think about who brought you two consecutive championships and who made the Lakers rise again? It was me, not that stupid young man!
Just like when the Magic insulted themselves with a humiliating contract, why can't you respect me again?

These days, O'Neal has always felt that if the Lakers management can clearly stand up and tell everyone that the boss of the Lakers will always be him after the conflict between him and Kobe, then he will never have the idea of ​​leaving the Lakers.

Just as he was thinking about it, a figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of the entertainment center in the distance. He also spotted himself and waved in his direction.

O'Neal was slightly startled, the person coming turned out to be Hardaway.

"wait for my call."

O'Neill thought for a moment, hung up the phone and went over.
