NBA: The best team doctor in history

Chapter 231: Everyone is a villain! ! ! ! !

"This season I hope that our TCM department and team doctors will not make any mistakes. They will ask about the players' conditions after every game, no matter how big or small, to reduce all hidden dangers that may cause injuries!"

"Roger that!"

"understand!"

"Understand!"

Thomas Reese, as the chief team doctor, also shouted a slogan: "Our goal this season is to have all the players healthy and reach the finals!!!"

"it is good!"

"rush!"

The results of the training camp were indeed very good. After the intra-team competition, all the Trail Blazers felt that the injured players had almost recovered.

Especially Yao Ming, who played with ease after losing 5KG at Jiang Ming's suggestion, and was still able to teach Oden how to behave.

This also allowed the management and shareholders to establish the new season's policy at the shareholders' meeting after the training camp:

[As long as all members are healthy, the lineup will not change. 】

Everyone raised their hands in agreement, because the training camp was indeed very good, with Curry's continued upgrades, Danny Green's 3D qualities, and Yao Ming's plug-and-play!

The stable performance of the trident has restored everyone's confidence.

In other words, all Trail Blazers players have the Trail Blazers' "get out of jail free" medal this season. As long as there are no large-scale injuries, they will play to the end with this lineup!

It will not be bought out or traded.

Everyone is of one mind!!!

Paul Allen nodded and looked at the report. The lineup was indeed very good.

Guard: Curry + Dragic
Shooting guard: Roy + Rudy Fernandez + Danny Green + Stephenson
Small forward: Maggette + James Jones

Power forward: Aldridge + Ibaka

Center: Oden + Yao Ming
Plus two players with two-way contracts in the Development League, a center and a small forward.

There are 14 people in total, 12 of whom are the main rotation players, which is very reasonable and healthy!

For this, Paul Allen also praised Jiang Ming, the vice president who has been in office for two years. With his collaborative efforts, the Trail Blazers' lineup and salary are very healthy.

Because the Trail Blazers trident now has only one maximum salary and one second-maximum salary, the salary is far from the level of the Big Three.

In addition, Curry, who was selected last year, has also taken off, and he can take advantage of a wave of rookie contracts.

Therefore, the Blazers' salary level has been hovering below the luxury tax, which is still very good.

Not only can they save money for the boss, but they also have the ability to compete for the championship. Such a management team must be praised!
Paul Allen's final classic boss summary:

"Three years ago I was here saying we were going to get back to the playoffs, two years ago I said we were going to get past the first round, and one year ago I said we were going to the conference finals.

And today, I want to say that next year is the celebration of this season!"

"ok!"

"no problem!"

"Leave it to us!"

The regular season begins!
I have to say that this season's NBA is indeed a battle of the gods.

Although there are only a few championship-level teams, the regular season is full of strong teams. Although the Grizzlies and Nuggets in the Western Conference don't have championship potential, they are still tough nuts to crack.

The kind that will peel off your skin if you touch it.

For example, the Grizzlies have always been in the top eight in the Western Conference thanks to their solid defense.

The Nuggets, relying on a group of spring players, are also hovering around the eighth place.

And there are two teams that are unexpectedly strong!
One in the east and one in the west.

In the East it's the Chicago Bulls.

Derrick Rose took the basketball world by storm in 2011. The young player led the Chicago Bulls to a 62-20 record, ranking first in the league.

This also allowed Derrick Rose, who was only 21 years old, to win the regular season MVP!

The youngest MVP in history!!!

too strong!
The funniest thing is that after the regular season ended, Thibodeau also cue Jiang Ming:

"Who said I have a problem with my personnel? We have the best record in the league and our star player is the MVP!"

It was the most popular thing for a while!
The main reason is that they suppressed the morale of the Heat's Big Three.

And in the West it's the Thunder.

The Thunder's three young players have been in full swing this season, directly ranking fourth in the Western Conference and defeating the Trail Blazers in three regular season games.

The fact that they defeated the Trail Blazers three times was not because of how good the tactics of head coach Brooks were or anything like that.

Just one move: fast break! Play fast, shoot, no inside attack at all, making the Blazers' inside line exhausted and completely disrupting the rhythm.

Especially in the last game of the season, the young Thunder Big Three played an extremely crazy game, in which Westbrook scored 40 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, Durant scored 35 points and 13 rebounds, and Harden scored 19 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists off the bench. The Big Three defeated the Trail Blazers in three overtimes when the main inside players were injured!
It was this game that pushed the Trail Blazers to second place in the Western Conference.

But it is also a foreshadowing. If the Trail Blazers are first in the Western Conference, they will most likely face the Thunder in the second round. The Thunder's lineup is said to be so restrained by the outside world that they may pull the Trail Blazers down in the playoffs.

However, the Trail Blazers are not "miserable" after all, because they are ranked second in the Western Conference with 58 wins and 24 losses, which is completely fine.

The San Antonio Spurs, who learned their lesson and traded Jefferson this season, have a record of 61 wins and 21 losses, ranking second in the league and first in the Western Conference.

It can be said that the Spurs have made great progress in team basketball this season, mainly because Mills, whom they selected last year, has also played well. With such a top shooter next to GDP, they have become the most stable team to bully weak teams in the regular season.

Their record was actually achieved by bullying weak teams, because the Spurs have never lost to any team ranked lower than eighth in the East and West this season. Lottery fans probably remember this most clearly.

The Spurs are playing against a tank team. It's a no-brainer to bet on the Spurs to win. There will definitely be no upset.

But they haven't won as many games against playoff teams as the Trail Blazers, so the Trail Blazers and their fans are not particularly worried, as they were defeated by them last year.

This year, we have Yao Ming, who only plays 18 minutes per game. Can’t he defend you, Duncan?

Yao Ming's playing time will definitely increase in the playoffs. It will be easiest to play against a team like the Spurs that likes to have twin towers and an inside line as the axis. In the regular season, we also gave the Spurs three losses.

The worst hit are actually the Heat and James.

Last summer, James announced in a nationwide live broadcast that he would bring his talents to the South Coast. In an instant, James and the Heat became public enemies of the league, and James went from being the chosen one to a "traitor."

With tremendous pressure, the Heat's Big Three started their first season of cooperation, and Jiang Ming would pay attention to them from time to time.

After all, he had never seen this combination before, three top all-stars gathered together!
He likes to watch Heat games when he has nothing to do in the evening.

However, the three of them did not work well together in the regular season, and the Heat only got 58 wins and 24 losses. It should be noted that James led the Cavaliers alone in the previous season and got 61 wins and 21 losses. After forming the Big Three, the team's record actually declined.

So James was once again criticized by the entire network, even though his performance in the regular season was still quite good.

But whether it is the media or the fans, they still unscrupulously call James a "softie" on social media. This is what James and the Big Three must endure.

Before this season, James had won two consecutive MVPs, but in the 2010-2011 season, James was only ranked third in MVP, with Rose and Howard ahead of him.

Although the decline in performance is part of the reason, the most crucial fact is only known to people like Jiang Ming who were invited to serve as judges for the MVP selection.

James joining the Heat left a bad impression on the judges. That season, James was better than Rose in all other aspects except that he had 0.7 assists less than Rose.

So Jiang Ming also gave the ticket to Ross.

Because Jiang Ming admires Rose, he is truly the only core leader of the team.

Mainly, he also knew a secret message.

That is, before James made the decision, James and Wade had considered joining the Bulls together and forming a Big Three with Rose.

But Ross did not take the initiative to contact the two, saying that everyone is an adult and can have their own ideas, and he will not take the initiative to recruit.

This is what makes him different from LeBron. He doesn’t want to rely on other superstars, he wants to lead the team on his own!
Because of this, the Heat really felt like the public enemy of the entire league, and Wade was also negatively affected by the Big Three. He only made the second team even though his stats were almost better than Kobe's.

And Bosh is the worst.

He is the weakest of the Big Three and also the one who made the biggest sacrifices. Although he couldn't make the playoffs when he was with the Raptors, he was at least the boss of the team, with both statistics and a big contract.

Not only did he take a pay cut to join the Heat, but he also had less ball possession than when he was in the Raptors, and he became the third player of the team. As long as they win, the glory is basically on James and Wade. This is why passers-by fans often speak up for Bosh.

James' halo is too big.

Kobe's aura has also been greatly weakened, and the Lakers are only fifth in the Western Conference.

Neither the Lakers nor the Heat performed up to expectations, but the Spurs, who played as a team, have been far ahead in the Western Conference.

The Trail Blazers seemed lukewarm, but they became the most stable one.

Because the defending champion Celtics are even worse, ranking third in the Eastern Conference, and are the team with the highest losing rate against strong teams among the top eight teams in the league.

In other words, the Celtics can't fight tough battles.

The biggest change this season may be that the inside line is becoming less and less dominant.

With Yao Ming occasionally playing as a substitute in the Trail Blazers (only starting when the opposing twin towers appeared), and O'Neal being completely marginalized in the Celtics.

Only Dwight Howard also took over the league's interior with his outstanding explosiveness and physical advantage, which also earned him the Defensive Player of the Year award.

But that's all him, the center is gradually fading away.

But it doesn’t matter. The top eight teams in the East and West are truly flourishing and each has its own advantages. This is also the most enjoyable season for Jiang Ming to watch.

"This NBA is full of villains, it's great! Come on, playoffs!"

Jiang Ming ordered a new batch of medical equipment after the regular season.

Because at the end of the season he was named the best team doctor again! The Trail Blazers players missed a maximum of 2 games in the regular season, and there were no reimbursements or major injuries!

All players will appear in the playoffs in good health!
"A good horse deserves a good saddle! It gallops like a shooting star!"
