Super Basketball Manager

Chapter 89 Dangerous
The high-level meeting of the Alexander consortium in the aerospace city of Houston.

In front of the camera is the return defense of the three games in the past few days.

"He adjusted his salary reasonably and solved the conflict in the locker room. The key is to suppress some people's wanton shots." Carol Dawson smiled at all board members.

"Of course, we have not only received complaints about his iron-fisted policy and dictatorship that ignores human rights, but there is no doubt that he has done a good job so far..." Dawson paused and continued: "The team has won three consecutive victories, and everything is developing in a positive direction. He sent away Aaron Brooks, who made limited contributions to the team in his contract year, and Sean Battier, whose salary is only lower than that of Yao Ming, and ushered in two second-year rookies with great potential to hold rookie contracts. business..."

"From a short-term point of view, the team's spirit has taken on a new look and is full of competitiveness. A high-potential player called 'OJ Mayo' has been tapped to make up for the loss of McGrady's lost market. From a long-term point of view, this is a team full of talented young people. OJ-Mayo is likely to become the new All-Star player in Houston after Tracy McGrady. In the next few years, we can maintain a certain degree of competitiveness in the West..."

"yes…"

"That's right..."

"This guy...is very interesting...has his own set of management models and operating methods."

All the old men on the board of directors nodded in praise, and also praised Alexander, who was silent at the side, and flattered him.

Of course there are doubts.

"Three consecutive victories are right... But we are still at the bottom of the list with 13 wins and 23 losses, and the playoffs are far away...Since we have exchanged for two sophomores with unlimited potential, why don't we completely suck..."

"That...that's right..."

"Well... there is a certain reason..."

"It is said that next year's John Wall is the kind of player who will definitely enter the future Hall of Fame as long as he stays healthy. Have you all seen his video? Oh! God! It's just crazy..."

These bastards only want to sit back and enjoy what they get, and don't think about counterattack at all?
Dawson sighed helplessly.

In fact, this is not the case. They are only shareholders of the board of directors, and they only care about their own interests. Some of them are not even natives of Houston. How can we talk about the team's sense of honor?

"Cough... Gentlemen, let them handle the team's affairs themselves!" Alexander's face was calm, he was used to dealing with this group of people, no wonder, he looked at the document in hand, and brushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose.

"Then Mr. Ron's performance as the interim general manager this week, let his family give a final evaluation! ... My suggestion is qualified, stay in the position..."

"Huh?" Dawson was quite strange, because several times Alexander showed his expression of confidence in Ron.

There was a lot of discussion below, and I also gave my own answers.

Alexander stood up, with the face of a big capitalist: "Okay, gentlemen, then Ron will become the interim general manager of the Houston Rockets. The contract will take effect before the end of this season. I hope we are not mistaken...he has a pass rate of more than 70%."

...

After the meeting, Dawson, the former general manager and current member of the board of directors, did not leave with a preoccupied look. His curiosity to find out the truth gave him a lot of motivation.

"Carol, what's the matter?" Alexander asked softly.

"Uh...why just qualified? He saved us! He brought the entire Rockets back to life, didn't he? Can't you see what those players were like in the beginning and what they are now? He's the savior..." Dawson frowned, with disbelief on his face.

Alexander also sighed: "That's right! Of course I know... But as an excellent manager, there is still one thing I haven't done..."

Alexander looked at the financial report in hand, and was silent for a long time...

"Season ticket sales are still bleak! This shows that Houston fans only dare to buy retail tickets at the scene... It proves that there are still many people who have doubts... Not only a guy who can lead the team is an excellent manager. In my heart, the most essential thing for a super manager... He must also be able to absorb money to make money..."

...

Saying goodbye to the noisy Salt Lake City, the players and staff of Space City are all in high spirits. Many people are grinning, playing and joking with each other.

Ron called the team doctor Jones to his side and sat with him on the bus back to the hotel where he was staying.

"How is Lori?" Ron asked with concern.

"He's fine...calf cramps, a little dehydrated...he's working so hard...you know..." Jones paused.

do you know?Ron asked himself.

That's right, among the players in the history of the major leagues, there were also players like Lowry who tried their best to play like Saburo in the past few seasons. These people may have played some brilliant seasons in a short period of time, but they eventually fell faster.

Typical examples include Wells "Rod" and Madsen "Mad Dog". This type of people is undoubtedly full of passion for the game and full of desire for victory, but their careers are often very short and often difficult to end well.

The capital of a player’s life cannot be squandered at will. Of course, for the team, it hopes that you can do this every season. Anyway, before you squander it, when you have residual value, you will be traded away.

And Jones may have thought of going deeper.

"Jones, you have to warn...Let him treat his body carefully...to avoid injury. This is good for himself and the team. I think he likes to squat on the ground after training on weekdays. This habit is very bad. It is easy to grow buttocks. He has girlfriends...and he doesn't need to pick up soap...This is not right..."

"Haha..." Olajuwon, who had been eavesdropping with his ears up all the time, let out a big grin. Ron gave him a blank look, and Lisa also cupped her mouth and laughed.

"Hey...Of course! I know!" Jones pushed his glasses in a complicated mood.

It seems that our manager is the kind of manager who also thinks about the players and has a conscience...

I know the consequences of doing this, the tiger has no sharp claws, is it still the king of all beasts?Of course I also know that all of this is business. It is very likely that you care about others, but others don't care about you...

When they switch to the way and turn around and beat you with a lot of money, will you regret that you didn't squeeze him out of the juice...

But I am such a person, and sometimes I don't know what consequences my "naive conscience" will bring to me.Ron took a deep breath and leaned back in the chair, hesitating a little.

"Actually, I want to ask you...another person..."

When Ron whispered these words from his mouth, Jones was instinctively startled...

Jones is a smart man. In addition to being a team doctor, he also holds a high position in the management.How could he not know who Ron was referring to?It's just that there were too many people talking, he looked around cautiously, and quietly whispered into Ron's ear...

"It's a season-ending injury for anyone," Jones said. "But I would never say to Yao Ming, 'You're not going to play basketball this season.' I would never make that decision."

Ron tightened his eyebrows, he knew what was supposed to come would always come, and he didn't have any good premonition about Dayao's comeback in the foreseeable future.

Jones then added: "This time is very similar to past injuries. Yao Ming suffered a stress fracture in the middle of his left ankle. This is inside the ankle. We need to wait for the bone crack to heal on its own. We have to find a suitable treatment method. What we need most now is to find a suitable treatment method to allow it to heal early and safely."

Jones was a nice guy... Ron certainly wasn't going to worry about his loyalty here.

In the just-concluded game, at the last moment, Deron obviously fouled Mayo viciously. The referee’s misjudgment was only 6 fouls and sent off Deron, but he didn’t make two free throws.

And there was an extreme fan sitting behind him, who immediately had a quarrel with Jones.

The two started a mutual greeting discussion around each other's parents and distant ancestors. The emotional audience even wanted to rush down to the scene to "compete" with the burly Jones, with the most passionate greetings to the Houston Rockets in his mouth. Jones also broke out completely, and set up a stance to fight He opponent for [-] rounds, but the fan was immediately overwhelmed and subdued by four or five burly security guards.

According to Jones, anyone who insults and desecrates his family must die. He can do everything, even in front of the live broadcast cameras in the United States, he dares to beat anyone up without hesitation...

If the security guards did not arrive in time, the game might turn sour at the last moment, and an all-out martial arts would be inevitable.

This is Jones, who always regards the Rockets as his second home.

So when Ron heard this kind of news from him, his instincts were a little depressed...

Whether there is Yao Ming is really related to where the Rockets can go in the playoffs.

But this guy seemed to have some doubts, and he fell into deep thought silently muttering something to himself.

"What's the matter? Talk straight, but it's okay to say..."

He glanced behind him, some of them had flickering eyes, and some lowered their heads guiltily.

"Hey! Manager, don't talk about this kind of thing here in the future... Do you know how much a news source is worth now? And I don't rule out that we have an insider here...Of course it's just my personal guess." Jones cast a mysterious glance at everyone nearby, including Olajuwon, who was snoring, and said after a pause, "Actually, it's my truth just now, but you know, some things don't have only one way to solve...the most difficult geometry problem has many ways to solve it, and for Yao's illness..."

He lowered his voice cautiously again: "If it's 'only' from the perspective of Western medicine...the probability of returning in the middle of the season is very small..."

He didn't speak, just winked at Ron a little...

Ron couldn't turn his head around for a while, and then suddenly had an epiphany.

From the point of view of Western medicine, there is no hope of catching up with this season...He gave so many examples to tell me...

Chinese medicine?
The 5000-year-old Chinese culture is extensive and profound, and medicine is even more unique...Many problems that Western medicine can’t solve, but Chinese medicine can be treated with a few herbs. Ron has also heard of many NBA stars, and they have spent a lot of money to go to Shaolin Temple to treat their waist injuries. Acupuncture therapy has been introduced by the medical teams of many teams in the last century...

Ron also knew that the Phoenix Suns in California spent a lot of money to hire several highly respected old Chinese doctors, and the results were known throughout the league.

Nash can still run now, Old Hill is rejuvenating his second spring, and O'Neal, who has been in Los Angeles and Miami for less than a season, is gradually getting better...

That's how it is... Ron's left hand wrapped cloth and his right hammer made a final decision, and his whole body was suddenly full of hope.

If you don't try it, there is no hope. If you try it, it may produce some miracles.

Ron knew that there were many quack doctors in China who were eyeing Dayao's fat to advertise themselves. There was a "quack doctor" in Qingdao who even claimed that he could play Yao Ming in two months as early as 06, when Yao Ming was reimbursed for the first season!
God, the famous western doctor with an annual salary of US$ said that it would be good to get out of bed and walk, but he went directly to the game...

Although most of these turned out to be mere jokes to please the public, from the "Huangdi Neijing" to the "Compendium of Materia Medica", there are many traditional Chinese medicine treatment methods for bone injuries. Maybe there is such a kind of immortal indifferent to fame and fortune in China, waiting for Ron to visit.

There may not be no shortage of brave men under a lot of money, but if the explosive news of Yao Ming's suspected reimbursement for the season gets out, it will have fatal consequences for the entire Houston ball market that has just improved...

But on the other hand, if there are rumors that Yao Ming's injury has improved and he is about to play the game, then whether it is the TV broadcasting rights, or the big market environment of Chinese Americans, or the hardcore fans in Houston, all the tickets will be sold out!

"Uh..." Ron couldn't hide his joy in his heart, and he wished he could go back to his desk in the Toyota Center and start to arrange everything...

Under Lisa's arrangement, they booked the earliest charter flight tomorrow morning, and they had to stay in a hotel in Salt Lake City tonight.

He took out a pen and paper, and wrote down what he had just thought about in the middle of the two records of "Strive for the Double Stars of Houston" and "Seek Big Deals".

At this moment, Lisa, the Latin beauty who was secretly looking at Ron infatuatedly, her face was flushed...

That is clearly the girl Huaichun's thoughts...

It's just that no one noticed that she was wearing a pair of high-end wiretapping headphones in front of her right ear leaning against the window... All the narrated words that Jones leaned into Ron's ear just now were playing clearly and clearly...
