591.The Devil's Home Ground Is Born (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"The medical environment in Atlanta is very good, and I like it very much, I'm going to take Kamani and Hessi over for the winter, we've found a way to treat it, it's better here than in Germany, and I want to stay here for a long time." Boozer continued to express his desire to stay.
As Boozer said, Atlanta is one of the top cities in the United States and even the world for livable cities, with good medical care, good environment, and high income, but the underdeveloped entertainment industry has made it less of a concern.
Liu Mang inquired in detail about Buzeer's thoughts, it turned out that the Buzeer family had recessive hereditary leukemia, or a very special serious disease called sickle cell anemia, his son Kamani was unfortunately suffering from this disease, which needed to be treated in a good environment, and the probability of finding a matching bone marrow was very low, only the probability of siblings was the largest, Boozer and his wife Hesse's bone marrow did not match, only they had another child to transplant bone marrow, However, both of them are worried that the normal child still has the genetic disease, so they are going to come to the United States to conduct in vitro fertility technology and screening of fertilized eggs at the University of Utah Hospital, which is more powerful in biomedical treatment than Germany.
The most important point is that now Boozer is not different from the original Cavaliers who received less than 600,000 US dollars in two years, as a first-round show, plus Liu Mang mixed with endorsement fees, he also has more than 2 million US dollars a year, enough for the child's medical expenses, he is ready to take the child over, and then go to Salt Lake City in the summer to prepare for treatment, that is, to use genetic technology to screen fertilized eggs to prepare for the birth of the next child.
As for bone marrow transplants, the medical care in Atlanta is good enough, and the altitude of Salt Lake City is too high for children to grow, and the original history is that although Boozer went to play for the Jazz, the child has been living in Miami until Boozer left the Jazz team to join the Bulls, and Boozer began to live with the child.
Boozer said that he likes to play in the Eagles very much, and Liu Mang wants to go further after Boozer plays a dazzling performance, Boozer originally chose to go to Salt Lake City for money, but to learn more about how to treat his child, after all, it is not a cure in three or two clicks, it will take at least more than a year to have another child, to check himself and his wife, prepare for pregnancy, genetic screening, etc., Cleveland's industrial city is definitely not suitable.
And Atlanta is so suitable that Boozer doesn't want to go at all.
Liu Mang thinks that everyone wants to go to a higher place, but in Boozer's opinion, is there a higher position than the team that he has grown up with to win the championship together?
Liu Mang heard the details that Boozer told him, although he was happy that the atmosphere of his team was attractive, but he was a little depressed, this is not a chance for the master to play!
"Then Carlos, what are you doing with a tangled look?" Liu Mang was powerless to complain.
"My agent told me I could be traded, but I still wanted us to win the championship together." Boozer was worried about this, "My agent would prefer me to be traded, I want to ask Ace what to do if this happens to you?" ”
It turned out to be struggling with this! Liu Mang understands that Boozer is not so short of money now, and he has no plans to leave for the time being, he originally had no money in Cleveland and the second is that Cleveland has a poor medical environment, but his agent may want him to fight for a big contract, and most of the agents make money from their salaries.
Liu Mang thought for a while and said, "Carlos, fire your agent, come to our brokerage company!" ”
"Huh? So straightforward? ”
"Yes, it's that straightforward!"
After Liu Mang finished speaking, he took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Schwartz, but Boozer hesitated and didn't stop him.
……
……
In the afternoon, the final team practice session before the start of the game between the Hawks and Nets, led by Mike Woodson, was attended by Coach Kruger in the general manager's office to talk with owner Price.
"Long, Carlos has changed agents, you know about this, right?" Price asked.
"I've seen the news just now, Carlos and Schwartz have signed." Coach Kruger nodded, "It's good for our unity, right?" Carlos didn't seem to want to leave. ”
There were many trade rumours before, but the fact that Boozer had received a lot of team offers was true.
"Lang, look at this." Price handed a printed quote email to Coach Kruger.
Coach Kruger looked at it and immediately understood why Price was so entangled.
Originally, Boozer's idea of wanting to stay was a good thing for the Eagles, and it may be easier to renew his contract in the future.
But this offer is hard to refuse!
All other offers, Price rejected for the sake of team stability and unity, and only this trade offer, Price could not make up his mind to refuse.
The Jazz made an offer of protected first-round picks from the 11th to 29th picks in 2004 and a 2004 first-round pick from the Nuggets.
Both draft picks could be lottery picks, especially the Jazz's own one, the odd protection rules, the other teams are protected by the high pick, and the Jazz want to ensure that the Hawks get a top-10 pick!
That is, the Jazz are rotten for the Hawks, and they all have to get Boozer!
In 1979, in order to get Goodrich of the Lakers, they sent the top pick selected by the Magic to the Lakers.
While 2004 wasn't a draft year, the Hawks had no reason to turn down two first-rounders and at least a top-10 pick.
The Eagles are so strong now, relying on the rookie bonus, and the Eagles who have tasted the sweetness of the rookie bonus, Coach Kruger can't help but be tempted by this offer.
In the main rotation of the Hawks, Liu Mang, Prince, Boozer, and Kwame Brown combined are not as high as Jason Terry, and Jason Terry's salary.
Boozer is so good! But it is precisely because of his excellence that his trade value will become less and less valuable as the time left in the rookie contract becomes shorter and shorter, Boozer is so good that it is too wasteful to play as a substitute, and it is impossible to give too small a contract extension, he is much more valuable than Jason Terry, without an annual salary of tens of millions, there must be a bunch of teams rushing to poach people.
So next season, Boozer's trade value may have to be discounted, and by the fourth year of Boozer's rookie contract, the trade value may only be one or two draft picks at the end of the first round, just like the original Kenyon Martin was signed and then traded to the Nuggets, in exchange for two first-round late draft picks.
Now that the team has Rasheed Wallace, Boozer is important, but then when Boozer wants more playing time and position, the Hawks are going to have another headache.
A big contract is also a problem on the one hand, it's impossible for someone else to throw out a tens of millions of annual salaries, and the Eagles give a middle class, right?
This left Coach Kruger as frustrated as Price.
After thinking about it for a while, Coach Krueger said: "Boss, this is a very critical year for us, and this year is not suitable for selling our core members. ”
Price's eyes lit up, didn't he just want to find someone to blame, and quickly asked, "Lang, what advice do you have?" ”
Where does Coach Krueger not know that this unreliable boss is holding the deal, and in the end it is the boss's credit, and if something goes wrong, he, the head coach, bears the idea?
But it's not once or twice, Coach Kruger is very calm and said his thoughts: "If Carlos is given to the Jazz now, their lineup is okay, what if they don't lose so much?" Let's get them ready for the top 10 picks to trade, and we can wait. ”
Price didn't expect this kind of operation, the Jazz's non-top 10 pick protection has opened Price's eyes, which made the Jazz first put on a top 10 pick and then trade the routine, and Price didn't expect it.
Price looked at Coach Kruger and felt that the old guy was getting worse and worse.
However, Price is still a little worried: "Ace and Carlos have a good relationship, if we trade Carlos after the season, will Ace be dissatisfied?" ”
"Ace will understand, we can't give Carlos a big contract, Ace won't delay the development of his teammates......"
……
……
In the evening, during the pre-game interview, Coach Kruger announced that the starters and substitutes such as Jason Terry, Prince, Boozer, and Kwame Brown were not for sale by the team, and that they would not consider the trade of these team's key personnel for the time being, and would hang up directly if they received a trade call from any team.
The Utah Jazz, who were far away in Salt Lake City, saw the news and felt that Boozer was secured, and Coach Sloan and Jazz management made up their minds to start messing around.
On the Hawks' side, they also avoided the situation that affected the stability of the team and calmed the morale of the army.
The team has stabilized, dispelled the trade cloud hanging over the Hawks, and is full of anticipation and eagerness for the next game against the Nets.
The trade clouds on the Hawks' side have dispersed, and the Nets' side has had problems in the past two days.
The infighting between Kidd and coach Byron Scott and Kenyon Martin's rejection of the Nets' six-year, $60 million contract extension have cast a shadow over the Nets.
Looking at the Hawks, Pacers, and Pistons, the three teams all win more and lose less, and rarely lose, the Nets are only 4-5, and the Nets are slow to start every year, but in the first two years, the strong teams in the East have won at most 50, except for the 01-02 season when the Hawks have more than 60 wins, no other team can open the gap, so the Nets have been very calm, but this year, there are actually three teams that have completely opened the gap, and even the Hornets are ranked fourth in the East with 6 wins and 3 losses, and the Nets are only ranked fifth in the East, with a win rate of less than half.
Of course, Kidd won't blame himself for this, so he has a conflict with Byron Scott, especially in the last game, when the Hawks came up with strange tactics, Byron Scott had no way to deal with it, so he could only grind and fight, and finally dragged his side to death, which made Kidd even more dissatisfied and wanted a better coach.
It's just that the season has just begun, and Byron Scott is still the coach who has reached the finals for two consecutive years, and Kidd can't beat Byron Scott for a while, and playing a little worse at the beginning is not a reason to fire the head coach, unless it is bad enough for the Magic team.
But the Nets are clearly not that bad, and they started the same two years as they did in the previous two years.
And Kenyon Martin wanted a contract of 100 million yuan and rejected the renewal of the team's annual salary of 10 million yuan, which made many teams who wanted to get him apply for a trade, although the Nets did not deal with it for the time being, but it also put the Nets in the shadows.
Now that information and communication are becoming more and more developed, a storm of trade rumors in the league triggered by a trade has affected many teams at once.
However, now the Hawks have become a crowd of melon eaters, sitting and watching the Nets have infighting.
At 7 p.m., the Hawks' home game against the Nets is about to begin.
The storm of rumors that began yesterday morning forced the Hawks to be clouded with a trade, but now, after the management announced that the team will not make a trade, everyone is shocked and more combative!
The management doesn't want to rely on trades to strengthen them, they trust their players, and the players have to play their own performances to respond.
On the Nets' side, there are common strong rivals Hawks, and they have also temporarily put aside their internal contradictions and focused on the game.
Both teams started the game, and this was the first time the Nets came to play on the Hawks' home court this year, and many teams were curious about the Hawks' opening moves when they came to the Hawks' home court, especially Rasheed Wallace's opening moves.
Players who haven't played at the Eagles' home court this year all want to see the legendary Tianzun roar with that kind of banter.
But when Rasheed Wallace's face took over the entire big screen over the court, the Nets players felt the atmosphere of the crowd all at once, and felt the atmosphere similar to that of Salt Lake City!
Two years of rise and the biggest enemy made the atmosphere at the Hawks' home court even more irritable than when Rasheed Wallace roared before, and when Rasheed Wallace's roar exploded with deafening cheers from the audience, some players on the Nets couldn't help but cover their ears!
On the Hawks' side, everyone is enthusiastic!
"Ding...... The system mission is released, and the devil's home field is born. ”
"The birth of the Devil's home court: the host has led the team steadily forward year after year, cementing the local popularity and fan cohesion of the host team, and the host needs to lead the team to defeat the Hawks' current biggest rival, the Nets, at home. Reward: Celestial Roar. ”
"The roar of the Heavens: The Eagles' devil's home stadium, the excitement of the players increases when the Eagles play at home, and the momentum of the away team is suppressed. Trigger: Hawks at home, Rasheed Wallace starts. ”
