NBA: The best team doctor in history

Chapter 202: Lakers Championship, Free Market Investigation
Although the Trail Blazers players did not respond, those who watched the game understood it.

Jiang Ming's words are still very meaningful.

At the beginning of the series, the Lakers took the lead and won the first game without any bloodshed.

Although Gasol and Howard didn't get any advantage from the matchup, it was different for Kobe. His eyes were bloodshot and he scored as easily as cutting melons and vegetables, and he blew up the Magic's back line by himself.

The Magic players had never played in the finals and lacked experience, so they could only let Kobe score.

In the second game, the Magic adapted to the game. They were gradually able to play in a rhythm and were able to keep up with the Lakers in terms of score, with neither team giving in.

In the final moments, Lewis made a buzzer-beating three-pointer to send the game into overtime.

Although they lost the game in the end, they were already able to compete with the Lakers.

In the third game, the Magic took advantage of the Lakers' fatigue and obeyed orders, with crazy output to win the game and bring the score back to 2-1, which looked like a comeback.

The episode in Game 3 was that the Lakers had to pack their luggage and started physical therapy a step later than the Magic.

When the Lakers players came to the clinic for physical therapy tomorrow, the Magic players had just left, and Jiang Ming was already tired, so he handed it over to the doctor on duty.

This also means that the Lakers' physical therapy effect is definitely not as good as that of the Magic players, and they also have a lot less rest time.

This is why teams fight so hard to get home-court advantage during the regular season. Sometimes a few more hours of rest during the playoffs can make a big difference.

But the Lakers couldn't say anything, because they did come after get off work, and Jiang Ming was indeed tired recently.

I heard that Jiang Ming now sees 100 patients every day. He wants to work more during this period before returning to China. He is already a super workaholic.

Unlike other doctors of his level, he only receives “distinguished guests”.

But Jiang Ming treats everyone equally, old, weak, sick, disabled, rich or poor.

However, if Kobe gave up so easily, he would not be Kobe.

In the fourth game, Kobe picked up the butcher knife again and killed everyone. Under Kobe's leadership, Gasol and others also burned with fighting spirit and beat anyone they met.

The Magic were stunned and no one knew what happened, so they lost the game.

The big score is 3-1.

Not to mention the last game, no one needed physical therapy at this time, because both sides knew that it was the last game, and if they didn’t try their best, the season would be over!
Even if the mental attribute is maxed out, it has to be topped!
The Lakers, who were just one step away from the championship, fought to their heart's content. As for the Magic, Howard was completely taught a lesson. Facts have proved that centers like Howard and Oden are too easy to be targeted if they can't shoot.

Oden is actually okay, after all, he is not the main attacking point.

But Howard is the Magic's top star, and if he's not good, the Magic will really be bad. The Magic's lineup is built around him.

However, this style of play that only focuses on the inside is too easy to be targeted and is too tiring.

It's very easy for the Lakers to deal with him now. The little shark Bynum and Gasol take turns to deal with him, stick to him and don't let him exert his strength. There are only one or two dunks per game. Can it change the outcome? ?
It’s so tiring to fight like this!
A heavy tank center forward will be useless if it is being closely guarded by another heavy tank center forward.

There is some hope that Tek Drew can score 30+, but it's a pity that the agent doesn't have that scoring ability, otherwise he would have to throw alley-oops in every game.

And the fact is that as the series progresses, there are fewer and fewer alley-oops!

In comparison, the Lakers have much better space, and their lineup on paper is a complete winner.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Magic 4-1 and won the finals.

After watching the last part, Jiang Ming turned off the TV without feeling anything.

It's so unsentimental.

This is not the finals I imagined. A fight between Howard and Kobe would be more exciting than this series.

At this moment he realized how serious the situation was that the West was strong and the East was weak. Maybe the Celtics were a little out of scope last year, but this year the Magic and the Cavaliers are all bad.

Even if the Cavaliers come to the finals to play 23VS24, it will be a standstill. The popularity may be off the charts, but if it weren't for the referee and other factors, the game would definitely be a beating!
Because in Jiang Ming's opinion, James also has great shortcomings.

LeBron James doesn't have much shooting ability, not to mention that he is a forward and backcourt player.

So if we talk about targeting, James is more likely to be targeted, not to mention that Kobe is not at a disadvantage every time he meets James. Didn't they meet each other during this year's All-Star Weekend? He was not afraid of James's block at all.

"This Lakers team would be better if the Blazers played against them than the Magic."

Jiang Ming did not deny the efforts of the Magic players, but judging from the lineup adaptability and strength, they just couldn't win. You might be able to win one or two games, but you just can't win the entire series!
However, this season can be regarded as Kobe's dream season.

A bunch of Kobe fans @ O'Neal, O'Neal fans can only laugh at themselves:
"Kobe did it, too."

"Kobe did it, too."

"Lakers championship!"

The Lakers won the 15th championship in history, and Kobe won the Finals MVP for the first time!

Kobe was named Finals MVP for his outstanding performance. This was the first time he led a team to win the championship as a leader. Kobe proved himself!
Even without O'Neal, he can still be a superstar, he can also lead the team to victory. All the fans of the Lakers are also fascinated by him, and they finally recognize the status of this kid!

Kobe started playing for the Lakers in 1996, when he was only 17 years old. Now he has finally made a name for himself, and he can also be the boss of this aristocratic team!

It’s just like what Jiang Ming said, it was a little too easy to win.

But no matter what, when Jiang Ming was browsing his phone, he knew one thing, that is, Kobe was going to become completely famous all over the world.

Tip of the nose Jordan?

Hupu server crashed!
Twitter was full of praise.

Both WeChat and QQ were filled with old classmates asking Jiang Ming for Kobe's autograph. They thought that since Kobe had so many cupping marks on his body, Jiang Ming must have had a very good relationship with Kobe, right?

But what they don't know is that Kobe wants Jiang Ming to personally remove the cupping fee of 50 US dollars, which is not that expensive even if it is a gold cupping. And no matter how good Jiang Ming's relationship with the players is, he will not help them to get autographs. In his opinion, fans must not become fan clubs. Strength speaks for itself. If you meet them, just take a photo or something. What does TO sign mean?

Have you learned this from Korean pop culture?

But China’s Komi fans have obviously become completely fan club-ized, otherwise it would be impossible for all their aunts and uncles to ask Jiang Ming to buy autographed posters. Doesn’t Jiang Ming know what they are trying to do?

Niuniu!

As for scalpers, now in China, Kobe's autographed posters, autographed sneakers, jerseys and everything else are all being hyped up. If Jiang Ming really gives them a poster, and it has passed through Jiang Ming's hands, wouldn't the starting price be 2 yuan per poster?
Kobe obviously gained more fans after winning this championship. His presence in Los Angeles at 4:30 in the morning gave countless people the faith to fight for their dreams.

Even Chinese high school exams use this as material. This kind of influence is something that even Jordan never has.

Times have really changed.

However, what Jiang Ming is thinking about is that mid-range shots are very important now, whether inside or outside the line.

Oden's mid-range shot must also be developed next season!

In fact, Oden and Adridge are invincible when they combine together, but both of them have to strengthen in the direction of their respective strengths next season, so that they can create the strongest twin towers.

So as he was thinking about it, Jiang Ming went back to his computer to study rookies and the free market.

Since we can’t change the fact that the Trail Blazers are in the West, let’s become stronger!
Keep going, keep getting stronger!
Be strong enough to win the championship!

Why he's not just watching rookies now.

He also felt that there was a great need for immediate combat effectiveness, and the Trail Blazers already had enough rookies. It seemed a bit difficult to train more. If they really chose a shooter point guard like Curry, it would seem too radical, and it would be a gamble-style selection.

Therefore, Jiang Ming and the president's team have considered packaging this year's draft picks in exchange for stars.

This way, Roy, Aldridge, and Oden will have a chance to win the championship without exceeding the luxury tax during the final benefit period of their rookie contracts!
Now that the season is over, ESPN is also quickly coming up with hot topics for the offseason.

That is the ranking of the top ten free market players, which ranks the players who became free agents this year and those who had no NBA jobs or were cut before.

Jiang Ming looked directly from here, because if he wanted to select combat-ready personnel, he would definitely choose from these people.

The value of this year's 15th pick plus some additional trading items can still be exchanged for a role star-level player.

At worst, they can still get a draft pick next year. Now is really the time for the Trail Blazers to achieve results and they can’t hesitate any longer.

10th: Andrew Bynum (Los Angeles Lakers, restricted free agent)
Bynum can surpass many stars and rank tenth because he averaged 15 points, 11 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game last season with a hit rate of 65.5%. However, due to a knee injury, he has been playing on and off. Fortunately, he caught up with the playoffs and did not miss a single game in the finals after Jiang Ming's physical therapy.

If he can produce similar statistics in other teams, I believe other teams will definitely pursue him at a high price. Not only can they gain a strong inside player, but for playoff teams it can also be considered a steal instead of a ban.

After all, he is only 20 years old, but the Lakers may renew his contract in advance after winning the championship.

No. 08: Hedo Turkoglu (Orlando Magic, can opt out of the contract early, 09-740 season salary $ million)
特科格鲁上赛季表现出色获进步最快球员奖，是联盟场均至少得到19.5分、5助攻和5篮板的5名球员之一，另外4名分别是卡特、麦蒂、科比和詹姆斯。

He has never averaged more than 14 points and 3 assists per game in any previous season. If he can continue to perform like this next season, I believe he will become a hot commodity in the free agent market.

You don't have to believe it, after this year's finals, Jiang Ming is optimistic about him as the only one for the Magic. Apart from being a little slow in lateral movement, he can both defend and attack. This 2-meter forward organization is so good, and it seems that he can adapt to any team.

8. Lamar Odom (Los Angeles Lakers, unrestricted free agent)
At the end of last season, Odom finally found his position and became the Lakers' third scoring point after Kobe and Gasol, but looking at the current situation of the Lakers, it is difficult to determine how long he can stay.

There have also been recent rumors of trading him for Artest of the Kings, but if the Lakers cannot meet Odom's requirements by then, he still has many options.

This is a typical case of preparing to dismantle a team after winning the championship.

Of course, Odom's move was his own. The management would be the stupidest to do so, and most people who do it themselves have to beg for money after winning the championship.

So Odom can really do something.

But actually his character has a weak spot. I heard that he was recently troubled by some Kardashian, so Jiang Ming wrote a pending status.

If Odom can really come, the Trail Blazers will welcome him with open arms!

This is a tall forward who can really play point guard, and he will immediately make up for all the Trail Blazers' problems on the outside!
7. Ron Artest (Sacramento Kings, unrestricted free agent)
It was thought that Artest would choose to opt out of his contract this summer, but he did not do so. Instead, he chose to play his last year with the Kings. However, he regretted it after the Lakers won the championship.

So now we're jumping into the free market again.

Artest is a mystery to many people. Although he has some injuries, we have to admit that he is a great player. His defense and offense are equally good. He averaged 57 points, 20.5 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 3.5 steals in 2.3 games last season.

Therefore, even though Artest has a bad temper, there will definitely be teams that want to get him.

Jiang Ming thought that it would be completely fine if he could swap with Maggette, so he also made a mark:
"We need to contact the Kings to see if we can complete a swap with draft picks."

Artest's character is that of a real man. He is not the type of player who gets involved in scandals off the court like Odom and Bynum. He can directly upgrade Maggette's position.

You have to know that before the incident at the Palace of Auburn Hills, Artest was a T1 small forward in the league, and Maggette couldn't even touch his taillights. His body is much tougher than Maggette's, so he was a direct upgrade in position.

No. 6: Allen Iverson (Denver Nuggets, unrestricted free agent)
Throughout his 13-year professional career, Allen Iverson has always been a warrior. No one doubts his fighting spirit and ability, but he will be 34 years old next season. How much energy is left in his body?

However, Iverson's performance is still impressive, and what will attract him is a team that has the strength to win the championship. Maybe he can return to Philadelphia and partner with Brand and Iguodala?
If his offense could still be improved, Jiang Ming would definitely give it a try.

After all, Don Eiseco is their best memory. Who doesn’t want to see Iverson win a championship?
He even stepped on Kobe's head to tell the world who is the true god of the 96 golden generation.

But now it was obviously out of oil, so Jiang Ming went straight to the next one.

Fifth place: Mehmet Okur (Utah Jazz, can opt out of the contract early, 09-10 season salary $900 million)
In the early stage of his career, Okur was just a substitute for the Pistons, but the Jazz took a gamble and signed a big contract with him. Okur did not disappoint the Jazz. Now Okur has grown into an all-around center. However, his contract with Boozer and Korver will expire next season, and the Jazz need to be prepared for investment.

"This one shouldn't be as good as the one Ade has now."

I remember that I was just in high school during the 09 finals and couldn’t watch the live broadcast. My biggest expectation every week was to buy the Basketball Pioneer to learn about the game situation. It was really a tear of the times. At that time, it was really difficult to know the specific game situation. I could only read the text descriptions of magazine editors.
