Almighty Coach

Raymond was alone in the utility room, with an old video recorder in front of him, and a box of video tapes next to the video recorder.

Video recorders and video tapes, which were once standard for American households, have long since been eliminated. Even those that have not been thrown away will be thrown into the utility room like the Raymond family.

At this time, Raymond found these video tapes, and he took one of them with nostalgia, blowing off the dust on it, and put it into the video recorder.

The old video recorder can still be used after being connected to power, and the CRT TV that has been eliminated in the utility room is not so clear, even the color has become very uncoordinated.

Raymond appeared on the TV screen. At that time, he was only 18 years old and had just graduated from high school. Then he participated in the NBA draft and was selected by the Toronto Raptors in the first round of the ninth.

It was difficult to find the game video of that year, but Raymond still kept the video of his rookie season, but in the form of video tape.

"At that time, I was really young." Raymond looked at the immature self in the picture, but his face smiled aftertaste.

Raymond changed a videotape. On the unclear picture of the TV, Raymond was facing the Indiana Pacers.

"I remember that game, I got 10 points and 11 rebounds. That was the first double-double in my career. At the time, I was only 18 years and 5 months. I was also the youngest double-double in the NBA. Players. "

Raymond once again changed a videotape, this is his game against the Nets, the Nets at that time was still the "New Jersey Nets."

"It was that game. I scored 22 points, which was also the highest scoring record for the rookie at that time."

"That rookie season is really worthy of my memory. I remember that I was shooting 45% per game at the time. It was the 21-year-old player in NBA history and the highest shooting percentage in a season.

Raymond picked up the video tape on the other side. The word "Magic" marked on it. Raymond knew that this was a video after he transferred to magic.

He picked up a video tape and put it in the VCR, and began to reminisce about himself.

"I remember that season, I was under 21 years old, but I averaged 26 points per game. I am also the third player in NBA history to average 26 points before the age of 21."

The picture on the TV gradually changed into a wonderful goal collection, almost in the hands of Raymond. He always had various ways to put the basketball in the box.

"In those two seasons, I won two NBA scoring titles. I still remember that I was the fifth player in NBA history to get 40 + 10 + 10."

The content of the videotape only recorded the season when Raymond won the scoring championship, and his subsequent rocket career was not recorded in the videotape, but Raymond remembered the "35 seconds and 13 minutes". In the last 35 seconds of the game, he scored three three-pointers and a three-plus-one, helping the Rockets achieve an impossible reversal, and that scene was remembered by countless fans.

Unconsciously, Raymond suddenly felt itchy, and he wanted to play. I saw that he stood up, walked out of the utility room, and came to the basketball court of the villa. He picked up the basketball and started shooting, or doing some beautiful layups.

The weather was very hot, and it didn't take long for Raymond to sweat. But he felt that he was not addicted, as if something important was missing.

Raymond stopped and looked at the basketball in his hand a little confused.

"How long have you not felt the feeling of victory?" Li Dai's question came to Raymond's mind again. He looked at the lonely rim in front of him, but he felt more lonely than the rim.

"It's less of a victory!" Raymond sighed suddenly. He had realized that even if he had retired, deep in his heart, he was still eager to win.

"If I want to play, I can go to the Rockets' training ground at any time and have fun, but only on the field can I taste the feeling of victory." Raymond suddenly had an impulse in his heart and he threw away his hand. Basketball, quickly ran back to the room, and then found Li Dai's business card on the living room table.

Raymond picked up his phone and dialed Li Dai's phone number.

"Hello, is coach Li? I'm Raymond ..."

...

Before long, Li Dai and Johnson came to Raymond's house again.

"Coach Li, I want to know, if I join the Clippers, what position can you give me? Can you guarantee me to enter the rotation? I don't want to be a cold bench for a season." Raymond asked. Road.

"I can guarantee you to enter the rotation of the team." Li Dai nodded without hesitation, and then said: "If you are in good condition, I intend to let you start."

"Starter?" Raymond shook his head bitterly: "I can't even think about the starter. I'm injured now. I can play for a few minutes in one game, and I'm thankful."

"I know, back injuries, waist injuries, knee injuries, and foot injuries are all serious injuries on your body. In addition, the groin, wrists, elbows, hips, and big toe of the left foot have also been injured. . But these are not problems. "Li Dai waved his hand with a smile:" Even if your congenital scoliosis, in my opinion is not a problem. "

"Coach Li, aren't you kidding me?" Raymond said somewhat unbelievably.

Raymond has been playing for so many years, naturally he has accumulated a lot of injuries. He chose to retire at the beginning, because the back injury was not cured for a long time, and the knee could not recover after minimally invasive surgery. In terms of, he is not old.

The most serious injury of Raymond is his congenital scoliosis. At that time, some experts predicted that he could play at most three or four years. Because of this problem, Raymond fell to the ninth pick in the draft. Was selected. This congenital scoliosis is also the biggest problem affecting Raymond's career. Without this congenital scoliosis, Raymond's strength will definitely increase by one grade.

At this point Li Dai finally came up with the brochure he had already prepared.

"My best is rehabilitation training. Over the years, I have helped many well-known athletes in rehabilitation training. Many of the injuries suffered by athletes are enough to affect their careers. These are all successful cases. "

...

Li Dai and Johnson leave Raymond's villa

"Raymond just looked very excited." Johnson said.

"That is of course. There are two major enemies of professional athletes, that is, time and injury. No one can overcome time. In the face of aging, we can only let it go. But injuries are different. There is something on the opposite side of the athlete, and the athlete can also fight. Any athlete who has a wound will have a full interest in the method of recovering from his injury. "Li Dai replied.

Johnson nodded and then asked, "Who is our next target?"

"Have you brought swimming trunks?" Li Dai seemed to ask an unrelated topic.

Johnson immediately understood: "Are you going to Miami? Looking for Chris Noel?"

"Yes, we need inside players. Now is the age of small balls. The requirements for inside are also different. Those who are fast-moving, can change defenses at any time, and have the ability to shoot three-pointers are very popular. And Chris Noel, It is definitely the best spatial No. 4 position in the NBA. "Li Dai replied.

"But Noel is different from other people. Other athletes left the court because of injuries, and Chris Noll had to leave the court because of illness. The blood clots in his body may be fatal and cause blood clots. It may even cause pulmonary embolism and myocardial infarction. This is a disease that needs treatment, and it is not something you can solve through training. "Johnson said.

"In the final analysis, there is a problem with his own anticoagulant function. If there is no blood clot in his physical fitness, these conditions you said will not appear. He should be able to pass the NBA physical examination?" Li Dai continued: "You are responsible for the contract. As for passing the NBA medical examination, leave it to me."

...

Chris Noel, with a height of 2.11 meters, is a power forward and occasionally pushes to the center position. He has been selected to the NBA All-Star team 11 times and has won two NBA championships. It is definitely a super star player.

Noel belongs to the kind of mobile inside that is very flexible. As a big player, Chris Noel has the ability to shoot outside. He has won the NBA Shooting Star Championship three times in a row and has had a three-point shooting percentage of 40% in his career. A season.

Many fans criticized him for not being tough enough to play. He always drifted outside to shoot and did n’t dare to attack inside, but in fact he was very good at grabbing rebounds. Although he did n’t like to kill inside, but considering the first small ball In this era, this kind of space type 4 position that can shoot outside is definitely the most popular 4 position player.

Like other stars, Chris Noll suffered many injuries, but it was the disease that finally let him leave the court. The doctor found a blood clot in his lungs, which may cause pulmonary thrombosis and affect his life.

And then, the worse news is that there is a problem with his anticoagulant function. He means that blood clots are prone to appear in his blood vessels. The blood clots will enter the main meridians of the limbs, and the biggest impact is It is blocking the pulmonary artery, causing pulmonary embolism, or blocking the cardiovascular, causing heart disease. These are all fatal diseases.

Although taking anticoagulant drugs can treat this disease, anticoagulant drugs also have a side effect, which is to increase the risk of bleeding, and it is not easy to stop bleeding after bleeding. This kind of exercise in basketball will increase the chance of blood vessel bleeding, not to mention the fierce NBA confrontation. If you have been taking anticoagulant drugs, you can't play the NBA.

In the end, the NBA Players Union was out of a medical report, confirming that Chris Noel suffered "end of career injury", this report also means that Noel will leave the NBA. Although Noel has never announced his retirement, but his club's Heat have announced that he has laid off, and also promised to retire his jersey.

...

In the summer of Miami, there are piles of bikini beauties on the beach, and at night, the nightclub is also full of indulgent crowds.

Noor's mansion is located by the sea. The mansion has a three-story swimming pool and a private yacht marina near the sea.

But when Li Dai and Johnson came here, they found a sign hanging at the door.

"Do you want to sell a house?" Li Dai asked subconsciously.

"It seems that the Heat have cut him, which really made him very sad. He didn't plan to stay in this city anymore." Johnson said.

"This is better, we have a greater chance to convince him." Li Dai said, and pressed the doorbell.

...

"Chris, we want to invite you to join the Clippers." Johnson was afraid that Chris would misunderstand his meaning, and then said: "Not the team's management, nor the team's coaching staff, but joined as players Clippers, that is, we want to ask you to come back. "

"Come back? Why use this word! I haven't retired yet!" Chris Noll patted his chest with an unhappy face.

"Yes, I haven't retired yet!" Johnson said a little embarrassedly, but he was whispering in his heart: The Heat have already retired Noel's jersey.

Li Dai asked from the side: "Mr. Noel, as you said, are you interested in joining the Clippers?"

"Of course! I still have a villa in Los Angeles. I wanted to sell it a few years ago but did not sell it. Now I can live in it." Noel replied.

Li Dai and Johnson glanced at each other, and they did not expect that things would go so smoothly.

However, Noel continued: "I can go to the Clippers, but I want a starting position!"

"This is no problem." Li Dai readily agreed to come down.

Li Dai promised to be so refreshing, but it made Knorr somewhat surprised. In this situation, he can't pass the NBA medical examination at all. He can't even enter the team's roster, let alone the starting position. If Li Dai is not the Clippers' head coach, Noel will even think he has encountered a liar.

Noel asked with some doubt: "Coach Li, my current physical condition, should you know? I mean the clot in my body."

"Of course I know." Li Dai nodded.

"Then you should know that my current body is impossible to pass the NBA physical examination, NBA officials will not allow me to play." Noel continued.

"I also know." Li Dai nodded again.

"You clearly know that I can't be on the court, then you still agree to my request?" Norr asked puzzled.

"Isn't there a good month before the start of the new season? During this time, you come to Los Angeles to train, and I am sure to let you recover." Li Dai seemed very frank.

"Training alone? Can't solve the clot problem? Are you kidding?" Noel obviously didn't believe Li Dai.

"We can sign the contract first. If you really can't pass the NBA medical examination before the start of the next season, then we will lose a lot of money. I think no one will make jokes with millions of dollars?" Li Dai said. .

Noel thought for a while and thought Li Dai made sense, so he nodded and agreed.

"About the contract, our team manager Johnson will contact your agent." Li Dai thought for a while, and then asked: "In the end I have another question. I thought it would take a bit of lip to be able to I was motivated to join the Clippers, but I did n’t expect you to be so happy ~ www.readwn.com ~ I want to know why you would choose so quickly. "

"You should see me listing at the door and intending to sell this house? I'm not going to live in Miami anymore. In fact, I originally planned to go to Los Angeles. I still have a big villa there." Noel Replied.

"Is it because the Heat cut you?" Li Dai asked.

"This is just one of the reasons. I have been in this city for many years. I love Miami. I also like to stay with the Heat. I have a group of familiar teammates here. We have won two championships together. I thought I would die in this city, but I had that **** clot! "

Noel took a deep breath and then said: "I should have retired like a superstar with all my glory, enjoying flowers and applause, enjoying a perfect retirement ceremony, instead of lying in a hospital wearing a sick suit, etc. As others announced, I can no longer play, like an orphan abandoned!

"I'm not willing to just leave the court! So I said to myself, if I can, I will definitely return to the court!"

"I can not be reconciled!"
