Sports medicine starts with the Sun Miracle Doctor

Chapter 271 Old Oak Charles Oakley

"Can you also play ball?"

In the backyard of a villa shaded by green trees, there was a basketball stand. A blond boy wearing a loose Blazers No. 11 jersey then raised his head and asked Chen Yu seriously.

"Me?" Chen Yu, who was looking at the plants, was suddenly called upon. He looked left and right before confirming that this kid was talking to him. He looked at the kid, who seemed to be Sabonis's youngest son.

Chen Yu glanced at the basket: "Of course, I can still dunk."

Unexpectedly, the boy snorted, made a face and said, "This is a children's basket. You are so short, I don't believe you can dunk on a standard basket."

He speaks fairly proficient English.

Sabonis himself is not good at English, but he attaches great importance to his son's education.

But why does this kid speak so poorly?

What do you mean by being so short? Yes, you can't compare with your father, but among ordinary people, you are not considered short.

"Oh?"

A solid layup.

Chen Yu's expression started to look unnatural. It must be because he was wearing leather shoes and trousers and it was inconvenient to turn around.

Although I have never played basketball seriously, I can't deal with a little kid like you.

"Come again." Chen Yu threw the ball back.

The kid made a sudden attack, raised his hand and threw it away.

The kid didn't have any stage fright. He even threw the basketball to Chen Yu and said, "You come first. If I come first, you won't have a chance."

Looks like 10 years old.

The little guy nodded: "Of course, father said I am the most powerful one."

"6 is old."

This kid actually started dribbling skillfully, and with a change of direction, he accelerated and darted under Chen Yu's arm.

"What about you, are you good at playing?" Chen Yu asked.

The arc was quite high, and Chen Yu, who couldn't react in time, could only watch the basketball go into the basket.

Chen Yu was almost happy.

Throwing the ball back, Chen Yu said: "Forget it, I won't bully you. And do you know who I am? Jordan is standing here, and he will do whatever I ask him to do."

It's so fucking hollow.

The corners of Chen Yu's eyes twitched unnaturally. Damn it, I miscalculated.

"By the way, how old are you?" Chen Yu threw the ball back again.

Anyway, it was idle time. Sabonis was negotiating with Brian and the others when Chen Yu came over, waved to the boy and said, "Come here, let me see how powerful you are."

"Bragging." The boy made a face at Chen Yu again, then started dribbling the ball, and shot it directly after two simple moves.

This shouldn't be considered bragging. I asked Jordan to run three thousand meters, and he had to be obedient.

Go in again.

Chen Yu was silent for a while, so he had no need to ask.

He picked up the ball, but the boy didn't catch it. He spread his hands and said, "I won't play with you anymore. You are too good at playing basketball."

Chen Yu rolled his eyes crazily in his heart. Just as he was thinking about how to regain his position, Brian and his group came out.

There is also Sabonis, wearing gray short-sleeves, tall and wide, and in good condition.

Pretty good actually.

I had a check-up arranged by a local hospital yesterday.

Chen Yu speculated that the basketball league in Europe may be less intense and he has recovered from his injuries.

But it was still quite shocking. The Achilles tendon of the right leg was completely severed, and both knees suffered from ligament tears, tendinitis and other diseases.

Not to mention it's comparable to Baggio, but it's not far behind.

Otherwise, when he landed in the NBA, no media would joke that he could directly get a disability certificate.

But he can still fight. If he really needs to deal with his injury, Chen Yu can deal with it.

At his age, let alone dreaming of returning to his peak, there is still no problem in regaining a certain degree of athletic ability.

Moreover, he is a floor player, and his style of play does not require a strong body.

In front of his father, the little devil immediately became much more well-behaved.

Judging from the expressions of Brian and others, it seems that the discussion is okay. The Suns may not be as rich as the Blazers, who are not short of money, but for a 38-year-old veteran who is not short of money, nothing is more attractive than a championship. .

Several people were about to say goodbye and leave. Before leaving, Chen Yu turned to look at the kid again: "What's your name?"

The kid hid behind Sabonis and didn't answer. He just made a face at Chen Yu.

Sabonis rubbed his head angrily and introduced with a smile: "This is my youngest son, Domantas."

Chen Yu nodded and said, "He is quite talented at playing basketball."

Sabonis chuckled, obviously feeling the same way.

The group did not stay in Lithuania for long and hurried back to the United States. It will take until the 16th to officially sign contracts with players, but during this period, the contract needs to be negotiated first, which is the most critical moment.

There are no big fish in this year's free agent market. The biggest fish may be Bibby of the Kings. He is still a restricted free agent. With the situation of the Kings, it is impossible to let him leave.

But before that, the Suns did more to retire players.

Mario Elie, the 95 Western Conference semifinals, delivered the kiss of death with his own hands and defeated the Suns' small forward. After going around and around, he followed Olajuwon to win the championship again with the Suns.

Vinnie DeNagro has fulfilled his career dream and can retire with peace of mind. He is interested in switching to management. According to Brian's wishes, he may stay in the Suns.

Dan Marley, as the best shooter in Suns history, the Suns may retire his No. 9 jersey in recognition of his contribution to the team.

And he may switch careers to coaching.

At the retirement banquet, he hugged his son with one hand and said that he would settle in Phoenix. He also won a championship ring in the last year of his career. Now his family is harmonious, which can be said to be the most satisfactory result.

After trading away three players and retiring three more players in one fell swoop, Bryan didn't stop and waived last year's rookie Elton Ford.

Facts have proved that drafting him last year and expecting him to be able to compete with O'Neal based on his weight was simply a dream.

But the second-round pick can't say anything.

Chen Yu had an impression of him. He was tall and strong. He didn't talk much in the locker room, but he was the kind of person who would happily chat with you all day long if you took the initiative to chat with him.

He's a pretty good player, but the NBA is so cruel. Since he's not in the Suns' plans, he might as well try his luck with other teams.

At the same time, Joe Crispin, a defender who filled the list, was also waived. He has not played once even in garbage time throughout the season. It is not surprising that he was waived.

As a result, the Suns are left with O'Neal, Tsakalidis, Marion, Rodney Rogers, Hardaway, Kidd, and Tony Delk on paper.

Assuming there are at least 12 people, there are still 5 missing.

And Bryan plans to trade Kidd, but he doesn't know who is going to leave yet.

Brian, who knew this well, was not idle. After returning from Lithuania, he immediately made the first signing intention.

The former Hawks legend, nicknamed the Thief, partnered with Dominic Wilkins to create the Hawks' glorious history, point guard Mookie Blaylock.

This is a guy who looks very similar to Jordan. When the Hawks beat the Bulls, the Bulls often missed the ball because of this.

His brilliance was naturally with the Hawks. He was a two-time steal champion and was selected to the All-Defensive Team six times. Later, he moved to the Warriors. He played well in the first two seasons and has been the Warriors' main point guard.

But as the Warriors changed their head coach, the team was in turmoil, and a hamstring injury affected his speed. The 35-year-old has been reduced to the point where he has no ball to play.

None of this is actually a problem. The crux of the problem is that he was waived by the Warriors before this year's trade deadline and directly announced his retirement.

Although he ran into Jordan's unreasonable 1990s and had no championships in his career, he had retired for half a year and signed him back again. Chen Yu didn't know whether to say that Brian was too much or too stingy.

It's not that he doesn't care and is willing to pay the luxury tax, but in the end he is still so picky and expects a bunch of veterans to conquer the world, right?

Brian didn't hear Chen Yu's complaints, so he turned around and contacted Chen Yu again and invited a veteran to check on Chen Yu's physical condition.

"Charles, my good brother!" Jordan, who had been waiting for a long time, hugged the visitor cordially.

Charles Oakley, nicknamed Old Oak.

"Chen." After a brief hug with his old friend, Oakley quickly walked towards Chen Yu and hugged Chen Yu with a smile.

Chen Yu's impression of him is that he is a bad guy on the court and Jordan's first bodyguard. It is said that he also likes to engage in free fighting.

But looking at it now, maybe it's a stereotype, maybe it's just that he looks too fierce, or maybe he's just acting like this in front of him, but Chen Yu feels that he is a quite kind person.

The key is 39!

Is Brian going to take up the title of the old, weak, sick and disabled team again?
Looking at his old friend, Jordan sighed and said, "Charles, actually coming to the Suns is the best choice for you."

When John Sully put his hand on his shoulder and provoked him, Oakley rushed up to him without hesitation and punched him in the stomach.

Whether on or off the court, Jordan and Oakley were good brothers. When the Bulls traded him away, Jordan was furious and went to have a big fight with Jerry Krause.

Most importantly, Jordan felt sorry for him. Oakley was traded to the Knicks, and with Ewing's unlucky partner, within two years, the Bulls started a glorious championship dynasty.

At this point, Oakley fell into the same fate as Ewing and began his wandering career.

After leaving the Knicks, he played for the Raptors for three years and returned to the Bulls last year. As a result, at the end of the season, the Bulls immediately told him that the team no longer had a place for him.

At the age of 39, he is on the verge of retirement and has no ball to play with.

Because of this, Jordan even considered dragging Oakley to the Wizards.

But now it seems that the better choice is the sun.

Oakley smiled and nodded.

Although the Suns traded for O'Neal, they started a crazy team dismantling, but everyone knows that this is a bloody rebirth. The Suns with O'Neal are still the top team in the league and are very likely to successfully defend their title.

At his age, he wants nothing but to realize his dream.

Ewing can realize his dream in the Suns, why can't he?

Moreover, throughout his career, he has not suffered any serious injuries. He only played small games and was reduced to having no ball to play. It was purely due to his age, but the Suns have the miracle doctor Chen Yu.

Under the protection of Chen Yu, Ewing, a sick man, can still compete with O'Neal under the basket at the age of 40, why can't he.

Therefore, when Brian contacted him, Oakley immediately expressed his desire to come to the Suns.

Even if Brian didn't contact him, Oakley was ready to recommend himself.

So Brian asked himself to come to Chen Yu Clinic for a physical check-up, and Oakley came without saying a word.
