NBA: The best team doctor in history

Chapter 248: Renewing the contract for five years is not Jiang Ming’s limit, it is the NBA’s limit

After the extreme joy of winning the championship for 24 hours, even with Jiang Ming's physical condition, he still asked Fang Xiaotong to do some cupping and moxibustion on him, and then asked Mo Youqian to straighten his bones and clear the blockages in his whole body, and only then did he feel much more energetic.

Otherwise, you will be drunken and dreaming of various temptations.

While he was doing physical therapy, he also listened to Larry Miller's assistant talk about the agenda of Portland's championship parade and what he and the Chinese medicine department needed to do.

The championship celebrations will officially end after the championship parade a week later.

However, for Jiang Ming and other behind-the-scenes staff, the championship parade was not as attractive as yesterday.

Yesterday was the ultimate catharsis.

Didn’t you notice that after last night, Yang Mi and Liu Yifei lost contact with their respective agencies for 24 hours?

If Xia Ye, a member of a minority ethnic group, had not been in better physical condition and had not answered the phone for them, and if Xia Ye did not really look like a scammer, the agency would have almost thought that their artist had been defrauded in the United States and taken to Southeast Asia.

After all, they had originally booked a flight back home for today, but neither of them showed any signs of returning.

There is no way, maybe Jiang Ming is too busy to handle it alone, but other beauties also have mouths, hands, and toys.
After the extreme happiness, the women went out to shop, because until the championship parade, all stores in Portland are offering 20% ​​off!
Jiang Ming, on the other hand, needs to do some work to keep himself alert.

One is the arrangement of the Chinese Medicine Department’s parade, how to play it, how to provide benefits to passing fans and so on.

Larry Miller wants each department to have a show, with the focus on the team doctor team.

Jiang Ming naturally knew what he was thinking. Now, every fan in the world knows that the Trail Blazers' medical team is not only highly skilled, but also full of handsome men and beautiful women. Those sitting behind the bench are the most pleasing to the eye.

So he originally wanted to distribute Chinese medicine foot bath bags to everyone, because this is absolutely harmless, but he thought the audience is too small and the Americans are too lazy, who would boil hot water for foot bathing?

So Larry Miller’s suggestion is not bad, to produce a show?
Row.

As long as it's a show you don't participate in, it's fine.

Jiang Ming displayed a classic Chinese leadership style and directly "distributed" the task.

That is to get the girls in the department to dance together.

The song initially planned to be "Roly Poly" by this year's hit group Tara. This group's songs are both brainwashing and addictive, and easy to dance to. Jiang Ming thinks it is very suitable for dancing on the parade car.

That hot girl is the most beautiful one in the whole place when she puts on the clothes that show off her legs.

It just so happens that there are four beauties in the department, Fang Xiaotong, Xia Ye, Gao Yuner, and Jiang Muyan, as well as a few good-looking nurses. If we form a group of 6-8 people, we can directly put on a show.

Fang Xiaotong heard this and came over angrily:
"Wow, you're so nice. It's ok that you don't perform yourself, but you also let us perform!"

"Isn't that because I have no talent?"

"It's like I can dance."

"What can't you do? Women are born to dance. If you really don't know how to dance, ask Xia Ye. It's not a stage anyway. It's okay. Just have fun."

Later, Mo Youqian said:
"If that doesn't work, I can go up and do a set of Mo family boxing."

"Okay, then you can perform the second program, Mo Family Boxing. Bring your two disciples along to make it more interesting."

"okay!"

Mo Youqian pressed Jiang Ming even harder. This was a great opportunity to recruit students. It was like performing Mo family boxing in front of the entire city.

The off-season is like the winter and summer vacations, and it is a good opportunity to recruit students, teach, and practice boxing.

Jiang Ming naturally knew what he was thinking, so he agreed directly. After all, it was one of the conditions he agreed to allow old man Mo Youqian to open the Mo Family Boxing Gym in Portland. If it was opened, it had to be promoted. There was nothing wrong in promoting Chinese martial arts.

It’s impossible for Tai Chi and Wing Chun to dominate the market alone.

Jiang Ming had seen Mr. Mo perform this set of boxing on his players once in the gym. It was indeed not the kind of tricks shown off by those in the martial arts world. It was quite something. Although no one knew where this set of boxing came from and it had never been written about in martial arts novels, it would not be bad if he could promote it himself.

Fang Xiaotong pouted and murmured cutely:
"Anyway, I won't dance. I'm shorter than them and I have low self-esteem."

"What's the big deal? Isn't there a 1.5 meter tall beauty in the Tara group?"

"Wow, you even observed this, have you been planning this for a long time?"

"No, no, I saw it playing on Zheng Xiujing's phone last time. This girl is the one I like."

"Wow, she's only 18 years old. Fortunately, she didn't go to the villa that day."

"Okay, okay, cough."

Jiang Ming quickly signaled with his eyes that Mr. Mo was there, and if he said anything more, Mo Yougan's words would definitely get out.

Apart from the championship parade and celebration, the most important thing is the talent show after the celebration.

This year's draft is really interesting. It can be said that it has been interesting since the draw.

The Cleveland Cavaliers got the No. 1 pick with extremely low odds. What does this mean?
This means that there may be no shady dealings in the lottery, but the No. 1 pick is definitely secretly controlled by the league.

It is worth mentioning that the Cavaliers not only have the No. 1 pick, but also the No. 4 pick!
This makes everyone think that this is the compensation given by the league after James ruthlessly left the Cavaliers and they immediately finished last in the season.

Because this year's top pick is another potential superstar.

That is Kyrie Irving, the top NCAA point guard with a super cool playing style. Of course, this has nothing to do with Jiang Ming and his Trail Blazers.

But we have to pick carefully in this year's draft. This year is a good year for forwards, and there are still many powerful forward rookies, which is exactly what the team lacks now.

Moreover, this year's draft has special investment significance. The game held at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey will also be the last NBA draft for the New Jersey Nets.

After the 2011-12 season, the team will move to Brooklyn, New York, and be renamed the Brooklyn Nets.

The Nets will use a new name in the 2012 NBA Draft.

Therefore, it is now urgent to attract investment to Brooklyn so that the Nets can move smoothly next year.

Jiang Ming took a look at this year's draft report and found it was indeed impressive.

Aside from Kyrie Irving, many of the other lottery favorites are good players.

Tristan Thompson and Lithuanian center Valanciunas have finally come to the NBA to test the waters.

African Brother Biyombo, Brandon Knight, Kemba Walker whose playing style is very similar to Irving, and Fredette, the lonely god who became popular in the NCAA this year. He is hailed as the man most likely to become the next Curry in this year's draft.

Moreover, he is pure white, which makes him very suitable to be trained to become a star of the United States.

After that, it’s the striker’s world.

As Jiang Ming continued to read the scout reports, he found that most of them had similar body shapes, which means that there are many forwards this year:
"It's easy to find a bargain!" Jiang Ming signaled with his eyes to McGowan, who was also doing physical therapy next to him.

"Yes, Klay Thompson, Burks, the Morris brothers, and Kawhi Leonard, a heavy forward with a very good physique. These are all good seedlings, and they are predicted to fall."

"Yes, I've seen too many. Shumpert, Tobias Harris, Donatas Motiejunas, the Spanish player Mirotic who has amazing shooting skills, Reggie Jackson, and Jimmy Butler are also good."

"Yes, just the number of people we mention, we can definitely pick up a striker."

This physical therapy time allowed them to decide on the players for this year's draft. Because the second-round pick was used up in the trade for Yao Ming, they only had one first-round pick, at 26th overall.

And it is also very simple to find talents who want to choose positions.

That's the small forward.

The shortage of small forward position in this year's playoffs is obvious. As for Maggette and James Jones, both of them are players with obvious offensive and defensive flaws.

James Jones can shoot and create space, but his defense is useless.

Maggette can defend and block, but his shooting is not very good.

And there is a disadvantage, it is a bit expensive.

Now there is a very realistic problem facing the Trail Blazers next season.
That is, Maggette is now the player with the third highest contract in the team, and is already one of the players whose "ability does not match the salary" in the team.

Next year is just a contract year for him, and it is not time to re-sign the contract yet.

But Oden has to continue.

If Oden is also given a maximum salary and Maggette is not traded and is forced to stay with the team, then they will have to pay a luxury tax.

It’s not that the tax cannot be paid, but Maggette is really not a necessity.

Like in this year's finals, he was in foul trouble many times, and Danny Green could handle it. With the salary about to explode, sending him away seemed to be a necessary choice.

Moreover, the luxury tax rate is too high and it is unnecessary, so now that everyone has calmed down from the championship celebration period, the three parties are all pulling for it.

Maggette's team certainly doesn't want Maggette to be traded. Wouldn't it be better to keep him for another year? He can still win the championship with a high salary! Maybe he can even renew his contract in advance and get a good one.

Oden's team is also bargaining with the management. The first child labor contract of the No. 1400 pick has expired, and the new contract will definitely start at the second-highest salary. But if the Trail Blazers want to keep Maggette, Oden can only have a contract with an annual salary of million, which means that his value is completely incompatible with the two giants Roy and Aldridge.

But in fact, his appeal to fans and his playing style are worthy of a maximum salary.

James Jones was very sensible and directly renewed his contract for three years with the mid-level exception. As a baby-faced shooter among small forwards, the Trail Blazers' offense is the most powerful when paired with Curry, so his continued stay in the Trail Blazers is complementary.

If he goes to other teams, there won’t be such a good lineup configuration for him to play so comfortably.

Therefore, the Trail Blazers management must find a way out for themselves in advance. Regardless of whether Maggette is kept or not, a small forward must be selected.

If Marco stays, the rookie forward will be coached by Maggette for a year. If Maggette is not paid the veteran minimum salary in the second year, he will almost certainly leave because that means Curry and Danny Green will have to renew their contracts!
These are two pure new stars.

The Trail Blazers will have no salary space at all by then.

At that time, Maggette going out to get a big contract will have the least impact on the Trail Blazers, because the rookie is also a sophomore and has experience.

So this idea is still correct.

"OK, it's over. Let's go play golf."

"Oh, I haven't played it yet."

"You'll know once you go there, the service is great."

After finishing their discussion and massage, the two went straight to the golf course. They can only play together for a few days in a year, so why not have fun to their heart's content.

A week later.

The passionate dance performed by the Trail Blazers' medical team at the championship parade successfully became a hot topic. The reason for this was not entirely because of their good looks and graceful dancing moves, but because Jiang Ming was forcibly pulled by Jiang Muyan and Fang Xiaotong to dance a short while together.

Fang Xiaotong was still too aggressive. She directly dragged Jiang Ming, who was beating drums and gongs and watching the fun nearby, to stand in the center position. Jiang Ming had to move a little.

This also made the original singer of the song, Tara, flattered:
"Thank you, Blazers, and thank you to Dr. Jiang Ming's team for dancing with us. Next time we can dance live at your home stadium!"

I just wanted to take over the business.

What is their status and what is the status of the pioneers?
This must be licked!
For this purpose, they directly sent all the members to dance in front of Jiang Ming. While dancing, they naturally drew the curtains and doors, and Jiang Ming also gave medical treatment to everyone.

And next season they did have such an opportunity and became the first Korean artist group to land on the NBA arena. Although the remuneration and other things were free, the publicity and other things were self-evident.

This is the attraction of ginger!
Although he is a behind-the-scenes figure, his influence is extraordinary whenever he shows up.

He even negotiated to rent the Rose Garden Arena to JJ Lun and Zhang Xueyou for their concerts this offseason, which attracted a large number of Chinese fans in North America and brought a lot of revenue to Portland.

This also brought Jiang Ming's negotiations with the municipal government regarding Chinatown a big step forward.

With such influence among Chinese people, even though Yao Ming only has one year left on his contract, it is definitely possible to do something about it!

After all, many patients of Tomorrow Clinic have started businesses in Portland during the recovery process. Hardworking Asians may not have first-class inspiration when it comes to entrepreneurship, but their practical abilities are first-class.

“Portland Chinatown is worth doing!”

Mo Youqian, who recruited 20 students after the championship celebration, said: "I will lead by example! If a Chinese street is divided, my Mo Family Boxing Gym will be the first to move in!"

In fact, Jiang Ming himself had his contract renewed after the celebration.

Because his contract with the Trail Blazers' medical staff has also expired.

But because he is one of the shareholders, the renewal is just a formality, which is equivalent to paying himself a salary.

But the process was also completed under the auspices of Paul Allen, 5 million in 5000 years!
The most expensive NBA team doctor contract in history!

You should know that Jiang Ming has never been the chief team doctor, his title is director of the medical department.

But everyone knows that 5 years is not the limit for Director Jiang Ming, but the limit of the contract!
Because NBA regulations stipulate that staff contracts are a maximum of 5 years, there is no such thing as a lifetime cooperation contract.

However, this money is not included in the salary cap, so the team and the players don’t care. Not only do they not care, they are also full of support. They want to give Jiang Ming a billion-dollar lifetime contract. All the fans support it. The main thing is that this is equivalent to Jiang Ming paying for himself.

Jiang Ming, who got the most expensive team doctor contract in history, didn't feel anything at all, but he still posted a message on social media:

“Let’s go for the next five years together!”
