NBA: The best team doctor in history

Chapter 225: Top shooting power forward leaves, Chen Jianghua seriously injured in World Championships

The confidence of Trail Blazers fans comes from another contract extension of the Trail Blazers.

With Roy, Curry and others joining in the lobbying,

The Trail Blazers and Ade signed a 5-year, $6500 million contract extension!!!

Jiang Ming also gave him a few jars of old wine.

To be honest, it was not easy for Ade to accept this contract.

Because the Spurs also offered him a sub-maximum salary to match, the Spurs wanted to make him Duncan's successor.

To be honest, I don’t know whether Aldridge is tempted or not, but if you put yourself in his shoes, everyone would be tempted.

The Spurs are also a championship-caliber team, and with the training of such a top power forward, their improvement is certain.

But Aldridge firmly chose to stay, which allowed the Trail Blazers trident to continue.

"Crazy pioneers!"

"These two contract renewals are now secured!"

“Hey, it feels great!”

"Although the Trail Blazers' trident is not as dazzling as the Heat's Big Three, they have a strong chemistry."

"Yeah, can't wait to see them face off next year."

"I can see Aldridge shooting James to death, Oden stealing Bosh, and Roy beating Wade."

"Haha, you Blazers are so pretentious even though you didn't win the championship??? Don't you know what Wade looked like at his peak?"

"Yeah, don't be too crazy!"

"Speaking of which, Channing Frye of yours has all run away. I have always felt that this power forward is the most suitable for modern basketball, an anti-aircraft cannon!"

"what?"

That afternoon, the Trail Blazers renewed the contracts of two key players, Roy and Aldridge.

Channing Frye went directly to the Rose Garden Arena and the management's office to give farewell gifts to everyone.

The agent was also there.

Everyone knew the reason, so they just hugged and said goodbye.

Because with the signing of these two players, there is not much room left for role players like Channing Frye.

Channing Frye will definitely pursue a slightly bigger contract, but the Trail Blazers can only offer him an annual salary of one million.

He also needs to eat, so he must go out and get a bigger contract now.

The main reason is that he is becoming increasingly marginalized in the Trail Blazers.

Channing Frye is 6-foot-11 and will be entering his sixth NBA season.

Frye had played for the Knicks for two seasons, averaging 8.2 points per game, which was pretty good.

Frye has been playing for the Trail Blazers for the past three seasons. During his time with the Trail Blazers, Frye's statistics have declined due to reduced playing time. Last season, he averaged only 3 points per game.

So after Ade, who plays in the same position as him, renewed his contract this year, he will most likely remain mediocre next season.

Although he may be able to win a championship, it feels useless as he can only contribute very little to the Trail Blazers.

The main thing is that he now has to make good use of his status as a free agent to test the waters and get a better contract.

This will make his future better and he will likely get more playing time to increase his value.

Some people play in the NBA for the honor, but no one says it's not for the money.

"I'm sorry, I can't go on with you guys anymore!"

When he arrived at Jiang Ming's office, he was handed a stack of US dollars and a box of Cuban cigars. He meant that he had taken a lot of medical patches from Jiang Ming in the past two years. He didn't know if these were enough, but he wanted to pay it off in one lump sum.

Jiang Ming accepted the cigar and returned the money to him:
"Kid, which team are you going to join? Are you so willing to leave us?"

"The Suns gave me a three-year, $3 million salary with a 800+2 player option."

Channing Frye, who was already an old friend of Jiang Ming, had nothing to hide and smiled as he bumped his chest with Jiang Ming.

"Sure, it's a player option. I wish you success!"

The third year is a player option. Frye can choose to continue playing for the Suns or opt out of the contract early, which is a good thing for the player.

This also means that Channing Frye still has ambition and believes that he can perform well.

"Thank you, thank you for keeping me healthy these past two years!"

"Of course. If you have any problems in the future, just q me. We are still friends."

"I will prove myself!"

"Affirmative, your departure proves to be our loss, see you in the next game!"

"Thank you, JIANG!"

Jiang Ming finally hugged him goodbye and gave him a jar of medicinal wine. Channing Frye burst into tears.

"Why are you crying? Will there be no more plasters to apply after you cry? Get out of here!" Jiang Ming scolded and laughed and drove him out of the office.

To be honest, this former Arizona University star player has been a bit underappreciated in the past two years with the Trail Blazers.

Just because a player has poor statistics and little playing time doesn’t mean he is weak. It may also be that the coaching staff does not know how to use the player or that he is not a suitable match.

Channing Frye is one such player.

In Jiang Ming's opinion, if he is paired with people who like to break through, such as Wade, James and Rose, he will definitely take off.

Because he is an anti-aircraft cannon player who can pull his opponents outside the three-point line and is a space player.

But in the Trail Blazers, he needs more coordination between offense and defense. His defensive loopholes are too big, and you can't always expect Roy to fill them for you.

But players like James and Wade often have excellent assisting defense abilities, so they can still make up for it.

Going to the Suns is a good choice, not because the Suns' team medical staff is also a miracle doctor.

It's because they have Nash, who can improve Channing Frye's stats in any way possible.

Nash is now less and less involved in personal offense. Players like Channing Frye who can shoot from long range can run more into open spaces and have more opportunities to shoot.

It would be better if the Big Shaq and the Little King were still there, and there would still be room for Channing Frye.

But it’s okay now, because Ben Wallace is likely to retire.

Doesn't that mean the Suns don't have many players in the interior? Signing Channing Frye must have been to strengthen the interior, and they must have promised him something.

Last summer, the Suns chose to trade "The Big Shark" O'Neal to the Cavaliers in exchange for players such as Ben Wallace, but Big Ben is now in much worse shape than before. With his strong defense but weak offense, it is difficult for him to have a place in the Suns.

There were even rumors that in order to further save salary, the Phoenix Suns had already started discussions with Ben about a contract buyout.

Ben will enter the last year of his contract next season. His salary next season is $1400 million. The Suns may buy out Ben's contract for $1000 million.

Due to a series of injuries last season, Wallace may choose to retire after being bought out.

If Ben Wallace is eventually bought out by the Suns, there will be certain problems with the Suns' interior rotation next season, which is why the Suns are pursuing Channing Frye in the free agent market this summer.

The Suns do think so. Channing Frye is actually an underestimated player. He has good offensive skills and is fully capable of serving as a rotation role player!
Suns head coach D'Antoni said directly: "As long as he is given more playing time, Frye should be able to make greater contributions to the team."

Moreover, it can be said that it is a very good deal for the Suns to get Frye with an annual salary of more than 200 million US dollars.

After the Suns officially announced the signing, there were still many fans making trouble and criticizing the Trail Blazers.

Channing Frye is indeed an excellent employee. He directly responded to a bunch of trolls on Twitter and truly loves his old club.

"It's not that Jiang Ming is bad, nor is it that anyone else is bad, it's that the Trail Blazers really don't need him, so isn't it good to give him to a team that will use him!"

"Yeah, we broke up peacefully and got a big contract, so that's fine."

"If the Blazers re-sign Channing Frye, next year will be very difficult."

"Yes, the Blazers management should have thought of three maximum salary contracts for the trio, so others who want mid-level contracts can only be traded or leave." "But it's okay. I heard that the salary cap will increase significantly next season, and the Blazers will probably continue to reap the dividends of Aldridge and Roy."

"Yes, this year's contract extension is the best, and it's four years at once, a championship window. If we can't win the championship within four years, it means the trident is really not good, and it will naturally disband."

"Oh, if it weren't for the wave of injuries in the City of Rip this year, and the injuries only came in the playoffs, the Trail Blazers would definitely have the strength to win the championship."

"Agree!"

"Don't take out a loan yet, okay? Win the championship next year if you can!"

"Next year will be very exciting, with the Heat's Big Three, we will win!"

"What's the big deal? Everyone can win the championship by teaming up. The NBA is getting uglier and uglier."

"By the way, the Development League players whose two-way contracts with the Blazers expired were also signed by the Warriors."

"It's just some vegetables, it doesn't matter."

"We shouldn't just turn a blind eye to that!"

"Dr. Jiang Ming must be the most frustrated. He gave physical therapy to the players for a long time, but in the end he was no better than the others."

"Dr. Jiang is also a scout. Trust Stephenson!"

Stephenson replied stupidly:

"Mmmmmmm!"

What fans don’t know is that the reason why the Trail Blazers did not retain some players was that they allowed them to be poached.

Even when they said goodbye, the management did not try to retain Channing Frye because Jiang Ming sent a signal to the management:

"Leave some space, we might sign Yao!"

However, the trading market has calmed down a lot since then, with more news like the Hawks renewing their contract with star player Joe Johnson.

Because the Eastern Conference Heat suddenly formed a Big Three lineup, many teams that originally wanted to make a big move hesitated.

The Eastern Conference teams, in particular, embraced the free market and the draft at the beginning of the offseason like young boys and girls preparing to taste the forbidden fruit for the first time.

But after James and Bosh joined the Heat, it was like they were having a tryst, they had just taken off their clothes and hadn't done anything yet when they were discovered by their parents.

Just stop!
calm down!

You really need to calm down.

Even to the point of being bad.

Except for the top four teams in the Eastern Conference last season that are looking to fill in the gaps and strengthen their teams, the other teams are just ready to mess around and play badly.

For example, the Knicks signed Sun Yue last year in an attempt to attract Chinese fans.

This year is also following the same pattern. As expected, Dolan, the boss, comes from a broadcasting company and he has a clear understanding of the market.

Since the current lineup has no hope of winning the championship, playing one round of the playoffs is equivalent to not playing at all.

So it’s better to play with traffic.

Therefore, they also gave a two-way contract to Jeremy Lin, who was an undrafted draft pick this year and the only rookie from Harvard University in recent years and was originally preparing to apply for a job on Wall Street!
He is a Chinese point guard who plays very vigorously, so many fans are paying attention to him.

“It’s the same old routine.”

After receiving the news, Jiang Ming was already toasting with Yao Ming in Shanghai.

Yao Ming is now able to walk on his own with the help of crutches, so he returned directly to China to rest. Jiang Ming, who also returned to China, took the opportunity of seeing Yao Ming for medical treatment to complain about everything that happened in the NBA last season.

"LeBron is shameless."

"It will be even harder for Stoudemire to make a name for himself in the East, haha."

Then naturally they talked about the stingy Rockets. Jiang Ming didn't directly mention that you can't come now, because the free market is always open and there is still a long time before next season.

Just talking about Yao Ming himself made him famous.

The main reason is that Zhang Mingji is completely in favor of the Trail Blazers. After today's dinner, he even told Jiang Ming that even a veteran's minimum salary would be fine, because he knew Yao Ming couldn't bring himself to do it.

But he sees it clearly. If he doesn't fight for the championship in the next two years, he can forget about it and can only rely on others for support.

Moreover, Zhang Mingji secretly asked Jiang Ming in the bathroom:

"Director Jiang, please tell me the truth. Given Yao's current physical condition, how many years can he last?"

Jiang Ming did not deceive him:

"If he wants to maintain the playing form of last season, it will take at most two years. If he plays like a role player, it will take five years. He has gained too much weight."

"Yeah, so we can't waste time following Rocket."

"Don't worry, I think he has almost come to his senses."

"Ok!"

Zhang Mingji nodded heavily. Yao Ming's future lies in the hands of this doctor.

He was also unwilling to see Yao Ming's career end in such a bleak way. Everyone wanted to see Yao Ming stand on the stage of the finals and complete his last dance.

However, Yao Ming's serious injury this year and the rumors following the injury still made the Blue Shoes team cautious. They did not allow Wang Zhizhi to participate in this year's Men's Basketball World Championships, and did not even ask about Yao Ming's recovery.

A new forward Ding Yanyuhang was used.

Jiang Ming's team was also invited to serve as the team doctor for the Chinese men's basketball team at this year's FIBA ​​Basketball World Championships.

Of course, it was not Jiang Ming who led the team himself, but Sean.

Because the coaching team of the men's basketball team is also foreigners, Sean can lead the team, and there is Jiang Muyan to help, and there are 4 interns. When Gao Yuner and Xia Ye appeared behind the Chinese men's basketball team in suits, the forum exploded.

"Who are these? The men's basketball wives?"

"You're stupid, this outfit is that of a team doctor."

"Didn't you see them sitting next to Jiang Muyan and Xiao En? They must be Jiang Ming's new men."

"No, I also want to join the clinic tomorrow. What's so amazing about this beauty?"

"To be precise, it's Jiang Ming's Traditional Chinese Medicine Department. Everyone can make their debut."

"That girl's eye bags are so pretty."

"And the one next to him, so gentle and elegant, I love him!"

"Has the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine added new members in the new season? I checked the resumes of these two people, and they are both top students!"

"That's great. I can earn extra money for Jiang Ming at the World Championships while doing my internship. Other team doctors don't have such a good opportunity."

"Yes, since 08, Jiang Ming's Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine has become a permanent partner of the national team."

"What are you talking about? Lasker Award winners work for their country and their people! How can they care about such a small amount of money?"

"Yes, sentiment, everything is for sentiment!"

"Haha, Director Jiang is awesome!"

just.

What no one expected was that half of the Chinese men's basketball team in this year's competition are young people.

The team medical team, which was not led by Jiang Ming himself, really encountered a difficult situation!

It was the 25-year-old Chen Jianghua who had problems first.

During the group match against Australia, Chen Jianghua and Mills were fighting for the ball, their left knees collided, and Chen Jianghua fell heavily to the ground holding his knees in pain.

Sean made a quick decision:
"On a stretcher."

National team head coach Deng Huade: "Hmm?"

"We have to go, he can't fight anymore!"
