Chapter Eighty-Four: The Shutdown Ends
Five games have been played since the start of the school year, and the Spartans are playing in the transfer of Langday. Hollis Jefferson's leadership got off to a good start with a 4-1 record, losing one against old rivals the Tornadoes.
No more German. Williams, the Spartans were ravaged by the Tornadoes, and although Hollis Jefferson tried his best on the outside, he still couldn't resist the Tornadoes' rapid offensive, and finally lost to the opponent 79-95, which was also the first loss since returning to the first division.
But that's okay, this win rate is enough. Hougist's recovery is ideal, and he will be back to life before St. Patrick's Day next year. Even if he only won half of the previous games, when Hougist returns and joins forces with Hollis Jefferson, he basically won't lose again.
Qiu Jingli inquired about it at home, and the news of the collapse of Asian gangs was not too popular in China, and the report was vague, and the name of the gang leader was not clearly written at all, and it was all in pinyin. And there is no big movement in the letter people, and there is no more sadness for Qiu Jingli's father in business.
The "blind date" came to an end in such an incredible way, and Dr. Fan Xiaohong returned to UCSF to continue his studies after teaching Qiu Jingli acupuncture techniques and leaving a prescription for external application.
Jeremy Lin told Howgist that Boss Yao wanted to sign him to play for the Shanghai Sharks, but it didn't take long for Jeremy Lin to call again to complain to Howgist, and the signing failed! Because the Chinese Basketball Association is afraid that NBA stars will come to the CBA just to maintain their status during the shutdown, and once the NBA labor negotiations are successful, many stars will return to the NBA, so in order to protect the interests of the club, the Basketball Association stipulates that only free agents who do not have a contract can sign with the CBA team, and the contract is at least one year. Because Jeremy Lin and the Warriors still have one year left on his contract, he can't sign with the Big Sharks, and Jeremy Lin is sad and plans to go to Europe to test the waters, and recently talked about an Italian club.
Hoggist comforted Jeremy Lin, after all, the level of the basketball league in Europe is not low, and it is more helpful to maintain the state. However, less than a day after the call was hung up, the NBA labor negotiations actually agreed that the 11-12 season will officially start on Christmas, and each team will only play 66 games this season, which is another shortened season since the 1998-1999 season. But with the Christmas War as the opening game, it's really exciting!
Hougist was afraid that Jeremy Lin would miss the news and sign with the Italian club, so he hurriedly called Jeremy Lin, but fortunately, Shuhao had learned the news and was already rushing back to give up the signing, and the Warriors sent him an email asking him to prepare to participate in the team's training camp starting on December 10.
However, just when Jeremy Lin and Gist thought the Warriors were ready to exercise his second-year team option, on December 9, the day before the training camp, the Warriors officially announced that they would cut Jeremy Lin.
Hougist was shocked to learn the news, and hurriedly dialed Jeremy Lin's phone, and as soon as Hougist was connected, he couldn't wait to ask, "Jeremy, what's going on?" You murdered Mark. Jackson family? Otherwise, why would the Warriors suddenly lay you off? ”
"Hehe, they said it was for the pursuit of DeAndrew. Jordan, lay me off, save 800,000, just don't trigger the luxury tax, you can sign Jordan! Jeremy Lin replied helplessly.
"Don't talk nonsense! Asi. Law, Rodney. Carney, Jeff. Adelion has a salary about the same as you, and his skills are worse than yours, so why lay you off? Is it because of your yellow skin? "Hougist felt unfair to Jeremy Lin.
"Probably, that's why I told you a long time ago that it's so difficult for us yellows to survive in this alliance! Fortunately, we still have Boss Yao, his popularity still has some weight in the league, especially in the Rockets, he said that Alexander and Morey would buy it. He put me in touch with Morey, who had just called me and asked me to play the preseason for the Rockets! I'm going to Texas to work hard for my next job! Jeremy Lin said the good news in an attempt to calm Hougist's anger.
"Don't go to the rocket! The Rockets have too many people at the point guard position right now. Dragic, Kyle. Lowry, Jonny. Flynn, you can't stand a chance! Wait, I'll contact Popovich for you! I promise you'll get a spot at Spurs! When Hougist heard that Jeremy Lin was going to the Rockets, instead of being happy for him, he became even more anxious.
"But Boss Yao has arranged it for me, and it would be too bad to give Boss Yao face if I don't go, and it seems that I don't know how to lift." Jeremy Lin dismissed Hougist's kindness.
"It's about your career! I guarantee that as long as you go to the Spurs, you will definitely be able to replace Parker and take the starting point guard position within 5 years! Hoggist was still trying to persuade Jeremy Lin.
"But I've promised Boss Yao and Morey to go to the Rockets, and it's about my credibility. Playing ball is just a job, and it is the same wherever you play, but people cannot stand without trust, and in life, honesty and trustworthiness are more important! "Jeremy Lin's high style and brightness taught Hougist a lesson.
"Hmm...... All right! But you have to promise me that if the Rockets finally cut you, you must give priority to the Spurs' invitation! Hougist gave up trying to persuade Jeremy Lin, and he felt that what Jeremy Lin said also made some sense.
"Well, thank you for always thinking of me!" Jeremy Lin sincerely thanked Hougist.
"After all, we are all brothers! You've got to hold on! I don't want to be the only one left with a 'yellow skin' when I 'arrive' in the Alliance! Hougist quipped.
"Don't worry! When you came into the league, I was definitely a starter on a team! Jeremy Lin swore an oath.
Hanging up the book's phone, Hoghist immediately prepared to contact Popovich, but he found that he didn't have Popovich's contact information, he could only call Henry, Henry answered the phone, and said lazily: "I said Haugist!" It's the preseason that's about to start, not the summer league. The old man promised you to participate in the summer league camp because it was an unofficial tournament and there were no restrictions on participation. This preseason is an official NBA game, so you can't participate! ”
"Who told you I contacted you about this?" Hougist said angrily: "Jeremy Lin has been cut by the Warriors, why haven't you moved?" Didn't I insist that you must sign Jeremy Lin? ”
"Are you serious? Do you really think the team will listen to you as a high school student? Henry said with a sigh.
"You give me the old man's phone, and I'll tell him directly!" Hoggist was also very displeased, and he repeatedly promised that he would pay attention to Jeremy Lin, but now there is no movement, which is simply a naked slap in the face to himself!
"The old man is in a fully enclosed training camp, the phone is in Mike's hands, and he is responsible for all contact with the outside world!" Henry said helplessly, "You think we don't value Jeremy. Lin? But our scouting report on Jeremy was all suppressed by Mike. ”
"Damn Budenholzer! In the future, there will be him, I will not have him, I will not have him! Hougist angrily slammed the phone against the wall, and the new broken Android phone hung up again. Horgist's anger was still unsubsidy, and he was in a hurry, his throat was sweet, and a mouthful of old blood spurted out.
Qiu Jingli hurriedly ran out of the kitchen when she heard the sound of dropping her mobile phone, just in time to see Haugist squirting out a mouthful of blood. Qiu Jingli was startled, hurriedly stepped forward and patted Haugist's back, crying and asked, "Helian, why did you vomit blood?" Is it the aftermath of the car accident? I'll take you to the hospital! ”
"It's out of the way, I'm still more comfortable after spitting out this mouthful of blood, it's too heart-wrenching!" Hogist waved his hand and told Qiu Jingli what happened.
Qiu Jingli also felt indignant about what happened to Jeremy Lin, and was also very indignant at Budenholzer's shameless behavior. But what he was most concerned about was Hougist, she rubbed Haugist's chest for a long time, and saw that Haugist was not so uncomfortable before getting up and saying: "Don't make such a big fire, gold will always shine, I believe that Shuhao will one day get ahead in the league!" What, I'll cook you some rock sugar pears, you drink it to moisten your lungs! ”
"Well, I hope Shuhao can gain a foothold in the rockets, I don't even have the face to see him...... What, I'm going to have to trouble you to buy me a mobile phone again......"
However, the reality is always ruthless and cruel, just the day before the start of the season, Jeremy Lin was cut by the Rockets again, and the news saw that Hougist directly turned off the TV, and he no longer cared about the reason for cutting Shuhao. He didn't even want to watch the opening game + Christmas war.
Summoning up the courage, Hougist finally picked up his newly bought broken Android phone and took the initiative to contact Jeremy Lin, who didn't mind the Spurs ignoring him, but comforted Hougist. In the end, Jeremy Lin told Hoggist that he had another contract from the New York Knicks, and that he would stay in the league after all, so that Hoggist would not worry about him anymore.
When Hoggist heard that it was the New York Knicks who gave him the contract, he vaguely guessed something, and after ending the call with Jeremy Lin, Hougist immediately dialed Henry's phone again, and asked with a sneer: "Is the Knicks' contract your credit?" ”
"Ha, you know it all! Budenholzer, that idiot, strongly opposed the signing of Jeremy, and showed Popovich a highlight of Jeremy's mistakes, he can be said to be the old man's most capable assistant, and none of us dare to say anything more with his strong opposition. I thought that since you highly recommend Jeremy, I must have a good relationship with him, and Miranda and I have lived such a happy life under your guidance, I think I must do something for you! It just so happened that my former Knicks colleagues came to me and said that there were too many point guards in their lineup, and I asked me to recommend a point guard to top the top, so I recommended Jeremy. However, he may not be able to play a full season, after all, the Knicks now have 'White Devil' Bibby and bearded Barang. Davis, if Jeremy can't play an amazing performance, I'm afraid he will be cut before the contract is fully guaranteed! Henry recounted the cause and effect.
"Thank you so much! I'm sure Jeremy will have a crazy season that shocks Knicks management and the entire league! Hougist said confidently.
"After Terry's finals, I believe everything you say! Is this based on your Buuster formula? Hahahaha! Henry and Hougist laughed heartily on both ends of the phone.
……
Traditional Chinese medicine works wonders for bone injury rehabilitation, and by Christmas Haugist can already do simple off-ball training. The Department of Surgery at the Monte Vista Hospital calls Haugist a miracle of recovery in the history of the hospital. Dr. House, who had performed emergency surgery for Hoggist, was very proud and thought that it was the credit for his perfect operation, but Hoggist confessed to the dean that the recovery process relied on Chinese acupuncture and herbal medicine. The dean was shocked and even planned to introduce several TCM acupuncturists to the rehabilitation department.
Of course, the dean's affairs are not in the mood to ask, his body and mind have grown after a few months of not playing, and what he is looking forward to most every day is the afternoon recovery training. Due to the limited space in the school's training hall, Hogist did not train as a team, but trained alone on the small court he frequented. After discussing with Dr. Fan, Qiu Jingli formulated a training plan for Hoggist, who was not allowed to dunk or participate in confrontations before the winter vacation, and could only jog and shoot by himself.
Hoggist also understands that this rehabilitation is related to his career, so although he is itchy in his heart, he does not dare to make mistakes, so he can only train step by step.
In the process of recovery, Hoggist's height has indeed increased again, and the most obvious increase is in the calves. Now Hoggist is close to 6 feet 4 inches tall. Thinking of the team's lineup configuration, Hougist was worried, and it was precisely because the lineup was too short that it lost to the Tornadoes. Now he is about the same height as Hollis Jefferson, and the only person on the team who is taller than them is Randolph. Morris, and apart from the two of them, the highest is Justin, who also experienced fractures, recuperated from injuries, and grew nearly 4 inches in a year. White. He has grown to almost 6 feet 3 inches. With the current lineup, it's time for me to change my position again! Hoggist thinks as he shoots. When the time comes, Joseph will play the number one position, let Justin play the number two position, himself and Lang Day will switch freely between the third and fourth positions, and Randolph will continue to play the fifth position. This squad has no problem playing an average team, as evidenced by the fact that they can win four games even without Hoggist.
But when encountering the Tornadoes, who have an absolute advantage on the inside, the problem is completely exposed. How to solve the problem of internal lines? Lang Dai and I can play on the outside, but what's the point of not getting our teammates involved? If only the coach could find another big man, even if it is a blank piece of paper, he can be on the field with me for a vacation!
