Chapter 167: The Cursed Genius

I've seen bad luck, but I've never seen someone as unlucky as Maddie.

- I have the talent and physical qualities that are unmatched in NBA history, I went from the bench to a superstar, I'm young, and I believe that with my talent I can start a new era.

And then......

And then it hurts.

Counting Maddy's injuries, you'll see that there is hardly a good spot on Maddie. Due to his congenital mild scoliosis, he has been plagued by back injuries for a long time. In addition to fatal injuries to his back, he has a history of injuries to shoulders, hips, knees, ankles, elbows, hands, fingers, feet, toes, quadriceps, pleurisy, concussion, etc.

He has never played a full season since he entered the NBA.

I've got a cousin who flies away, I've got Hill, Jordan's successor, I've got the top big man in the league, I've averaged points per game in the playoffs, and I believe I can go far, go far, and ......

And then I couldn't break through the first round.

In 2003, he led the first-place Pistons 3:1, almost blacked eight, and then was overturned for 3 consecutive games;

In 2005, 2:0 won the Mavericks two away games, and the victory was just around the corner, but it was defeated by 40 points in the final tie-break;

In 2007, he led 2-0 again, tied seven again, and lost to the Jazz; In 2008, Zhen Gu Shuojin's 22-game winning streak was played, but Yao Ming was reimbursed for the season and lost to the Jazz in the playoffs.

In 2009, the Rockets finally broke through the first round, but Maddie was reimbursed early due to injury.

In 2013, Maddie and the Spurs finally broke the first-round curse and reached the Finals, with the Spurs still leading by five points with 28 seconds left in Game 6.

And then......

Whom to reason.

Injuries hit, games fail, it's okay, Bobo said: there's more to life than basketball. At least I have family and friends to accompany me through the long ordeal and then ......

And then the most poignant thing is that he lost ten relatives and friends from 1997 to 2007:

In 1997, his friend Henry Andrews was killed in a car accident;

In 1999, one of Maddie's closest friends was shot to death, and in the same year, cousin Wren died suddenly of asthma on the court;

In 2001, stepmother Jackran died of cancer, and in the same year, another cousin close to Maddie, Kerry Bess, was shot and killed by robbing gangsters;

In 2003, good friend Eric Anderson died;

In 2004, my great-grandmother died;

In 2005, cousin Carol Johnson died suddenly;

In 2006, her mother-in-law, Harris, died;

In September 2007, my grandfather died......

After one loved one left one after another, Maddie once said sadly: "It's gone, it's gone, now the cat that I grew up with is gone!" ”

What is more sad than sadness is empty joy. In his NBA career, he obviously had a talent and ambition, but he was knocked down by a sudden injury;

obviously broke through the first round within reach, but it was unbelievably shocking; Obviously, the All-Star MVP at his door was captured, but he was taken away by a wave of force;

Obviously, the family is harmonious, the friends are righteous, and they live happily, but they are cruelly taken away by fate one by one...... Of course, there are personality factors and personal ability shackles, but the tricks of the god of fate can't help but make people sigh.

Perhaps, God really took away his luck in those 35 seconds.

Maddie and Kobe Bryant are a pair of good friends, and they may have agreed to see who would be the better player, but in the end, God prepared two different scripts for them.

Kobe, who entered the league a year earlier, got the blessed script, while Maddie, who was a year late, got the cursed script.

In fact, Hu Qingniu has a hidden wish in his heart, which is to help every player whose career is in trouble due to injury. But when it was really implemented, Hu Qingniu knew how difficult it was, and whether the injury could be cured or not, there were many players' injuries that were actually sudden, and some were discovered the day after tomorrow. It is impossible for Hu Qingniu to chase after other people's players and say what will happen to you in the future, that is unrealistic.

As for whether Maddie and himself have a fate, Hu Qingniu can only do his best, and the Magic team has not thought about trading Maddie out yet. In their opinion, Maddie is still their cash cow, and without this superstar, where would any fan be willing to buy a ticket to see the bad team that has been at the bottom of the East.

Gabriel, the current manager of the Magic, is probably the most stressed man in the world, and he single-handedly led the trade with the Bobcats for a draft pick, and now the Magic's record and the Bobcat's record are incredible.

The difference is that the Bobcats have an unbelievably good record and the Magic have an incredibly poor record.

In a fit of rage, Gabriel could only dump the pot on the team's head coach, Doug Rivers.

The team's record is disappointing, and there must always be someone to take the blame and give an explanation to the fans of the Magic team. Of course, the boss can't take the blame, otherwise who pays the salary, and the superstar can't take the blame, otherwise who else will watch the team. However, Gabriel, as the general manager, didn't want to take the blame, so a big pot was pressed on Rivers.

At this time, Rivers was pointed out by Wanfu, fans hacked him on the website and sprayed him in reality, he has been under a lot of mental pressure recently, even if the boss doesn't fire him, he will fire himself.

The current Rivers doesn't have a bit of the appearance of a later famous handsome. He's a chicken soup for the soul coach, and it's not so much that he made the Celtics Big Three and the championship in '08, but that the Big Three and the championship experience made him.

Before '08, Rivers' coaching experience was nothing bright, and with the coaching experience of the Celtics' Big Three, he was more and more gold-plated. So much so that the Clippers later traded their first-round pick for Rivers.

It's amazing that the coach can make a trade and it's a first-round pick.

Back in Charlotte, the tired players didn't have time to rest and all returned to training because they had to face the Magic team led by Maddy at home the next day.

Unexpectedly, Maddie, who had just gotten off the plane, came straight to the door.

At the Charlotte City Gymnasium, when Hu Qingniu was directing the team to train. The doorman came and said that someone was looking for him.

When he came out, he saw that it was Maddie, who was rubbing his sleepy eyes, waiting for him outside the arena. The doorman didn't let him in, because it was training time, and he might leak his secrets when he came in.

Hu Qingniu couldn't help but praise, this doorman is really witty. And that can be taken into account.

Maddie came to thank Hu Qingniu for treating his form Vince Carter, but Hu Qingniu felt that it was not that simple. Just thank you for the form, it's okay on the field, why come now.

Sure enough, after some conversation, Maddie said that he had another reason for himself, that he had come to seek medical treatment for himself.

According to Maddie, he has congenital scoliosis and has recently suffered a back-and-forth injury, and he has become disillusioned with the Magic's team doctor. It happened that his cousin Carter was recovering well from his leg injury, so he recommended Hu Qingniu to him, so he came this time to ask Hu Qingniu to treat his back injury.

Hehe, another big fat cow came to the door, Hu Qingniu thought secretly. Last time, Carter's treatment fee of $1 million was squandered by him to the black ESPN of the Internet trolls. In fact, after the incident, Hu Qingniu was distressed to death, after all, he was still driving a Golf, and $1 million was a huge amount of money for him.

Anyway, a star like Maddie is not short of this $1 million at all, and in the future, superstars will come to seek medical treatment, and the price will be clearly marked at $1 million. When the time comes, it will not be a lot of money, Hu Qingniu said with a smile.

Maddie cautiously looked at the obscene smile of the young miracle doctor opposite, and his heart was cold, he felt as if he was going to give something.
