I'm the boss in the NBA

Chapter 331 Influenza Strikes
Ah Choo...!
In the locker room of the Nuggets, Stoudemire, wearing a suit, rubbed his red nose with toilet paper, and complained in his heart, what the hell is this weather!

He was suspended, not because he made a mistake or got picked on by the league, he was just sick, the flu virus.

Although it is not a serious illness, for him, this is the first time he has not entered the team's squad this season.

Originally, he didn't have to come to the arena. The team asked him to stay at home, but he still wanted to see his teammates. The situation of the team has taken a turn for the worse, just like the weather outside the arena.

The weather here in Denver is moody. It was still sunny yesterday. Today, the temperature suddenly dropped by ten degrees, accompanied by sporadic raindrops. Although the rain was not very heavy, it never stopped. I don't know what level of morning breeze, many guys who get up early in the morning to see the scenery, or stay out at night are all in the right way.

The house leak coincided with the continuous night rain. This sudden flu disrupted the Nuggets' uneven lineup. The first one was Zach Randolph, who was first found to be infected with the flu. He had already been suspended in the last game and recuperated at home Yes, people here in the United States are very afraid of the flu. It seems that the flu here is a deadly virus, and many people die every year.

The other one who got caught was Stoudemire, who was probably infected by him. The two brothers probably went to a nightclub together to have fun, and played there until midnight. When the wind blows, no one in good health can bear it.

Even James Posey and Chris Anderson, who went clubbing with Randolph, looked listless, maybe their physiques were a little better, and they could barely hold on to the game, and they were not suspended by the team doctor make.

Su Yi picked up a cup of hot tea made from Banlangen and drank it little by little. The loss was too great. Nearly half of the starting players couldn't play after a flu. Today's game was doomed from the beginning. great.

Now the game against the Pistons is over. Although Stoudemire played with an illness, he did nothing except bring the possibility of flu infection to the opponent's players.

On the contrary, it is time for the Nuggets to give the players a good rest. Now that most of the 2003 regular season schedule has been played, almost all teams are chasing after them, eager to rush into the playoffs before the end of the regular season.

Although the Nuggets still temporarily rank first in the Western Conference, this position is not secure. The injuries and illnesses in the team are now all supported by a breath of energy, so that they can barely maintain their winning percentage and not be defeated. The Rockets, Lakers, and Spurs behind them caught up and overtook.

In fact, the Nuggets are already a little weak in succession, all of which are being consumed by the foundation accumulated in the first half, but coach D'Antoni can't help it. This is the case with offensive teams. When you are strong, you are invincible. Time is everywhere.

Now he doesn't dare to relax at all. The pressure on the team is too great, and so is his pressure. If he gives up, he may be overtaken by the Rockets, Lakers, and Spurs in a short period of time. The possibility of being squeezed out of the top four in the West.

This damn weather, today's loss, the number of wins with the Rockets is already only one game ahead.

If the NBA regular season is a 50-meter trapeze competition, then the Nuggets are leading by more than [-] meters. In the later stage, they are discouraged and have no strength. If they continue like this, they will only fall further and further.

The Nuggets also want to fight tonight, and it's not like Su Yi doesn't know how strong the Pistons are. When playing against a team like the Pistons that fights so hard on defense, you have to guard against their elbows at any time. Su Yi suffered from the Pistons in two seasons, and often walked off the court with scars all over his body.

Now that he lost, Su Yi didn't feel too sentimental. After all, he had worked hard and fought hard, but the team's strength is so strong that it cannot be saved by one person alone.

Judging from the results of this game, it seems that Posey and Anderson will soon be suspended due to illness in the next game. Playing is like sleepwalking. It is better to rest in the hospital for a few days and wait until this wave of flu passes before talking about playing. But then The Nuggets should be a lot behind by now.

The Nuggets want to play D'Antoni's fast break. To play basketball with this system requires the cooperation of the team as a whole. It is equivalent to that every Nuggets player is a part, and all parts can be matched with each other to reflect the best performance. However, the personnel are not all in place, and even if they are used reluctantly, the effect is extremely poor, not to mention that they can't play [-]% of their previous strength in offense on the field, and their defense is full of loopholes, which is much worse than before.

Su Yi made up his mind that it was time for him to take over the offensive responsibility. At least he had to fight hard during these few days when his teammates couldn't play, at least not let the team lose too much. Boss Su also wanted to save face!
Think of Randolph, Stoudemire, Posey, and Anderson all suffering from the flu, and Anfernee Hardaway injured. If these people are not available, the Nuggets will not even have the minimum nine players to play.

And there are almost no helpers around me, not without, at least Wang Dazhi, who is very self-disciplined, did not suffer from the flu. This little virus is basically immune.

Let's see who can still play now!The center position is completely wiped out, only Wang Dazhi and Tom Gugliotta are left on the inside, and the small forward position is full. Marion and Matt Barnes are both healthy and healthy, and the only shooting guards are Su Yi and this year. Kyle Korver was selected by the Nuggets in the second round of the draft.

Speaking of Korver, Su Yi really didn't interfere, because the Nuggets only had one second-round pick this year, and Su Yi didn't think of any particularly good players, so he let Whitney pick it herself. Because Korver is handsome, General Manager Whitney looked at his face, anyway, he just picked this lucky guy casually in a bunch of photos.

The luckiest one is probably Whitney. This little girl can choose a future three-point shooter at will. This guy can be regarded as a low-profile version of Su Yi.

Neither point guard Nash nor Tim Hardaway had any problems. Originally, with Tim Hardaway’s personality, he would have been willing to participate in such a party, but just in time for his child to get sick, he stayed at home peacefully. He has taken care of the child, and he has placed high hopes on this child, hoping that he can cultivate a superstar in the future!
After all, there are only eight players. If the four players suffering from the flu are suspended, the Nuggets will not even have nine players, and there is only one inside player, Wang Dazhi and Wang Dazhi. Retired old Tom.

"I think we need to find a team to trade or sign one or two inside players, otherwise we can't play the game." Su Yi picked up the phone and called the team's general manager Whitney.

"I'm also worried about this matter. I will send you some lists tomorrow. Look at the ones that are more powerful. I will try to make an offer." Whitney also agreed straightforwardly. At this time, I can no longer be scruples Signing players will increase the salary space. How to keep the team's first place in the Western Conference in the regular season and let the team go further in the playoffs is the real business.
