Philadelphia 76ers treatment room.

"How?" Larry asked.

"It's not a big deal," the doctor said after looking at the report, "but it can be seen from the report that there is still a concussion, and it is still a little serious, this will take a certain amount of time to recuperate, and we have many new injuries on Aaron's body, if we don't deal with it now, you should all know, new injuries plus old injuries, how much impact this has on your career......" Speaking of which, the doctor didn't want to continue to talk about it.

"Aaron, what about your own opinion?" Larry asked.

"I'm going to play, coach. I believe in my body. You can hold on! Aaron said.

"Aaron," Larry said, patting Aaron on the shoulder, I know what you want to say, now you're afraid of one thing, right, it's Luke stealing your boss position, right? Larry said.

"This ......," Aaron stood up, a little bewildered.

"John (the name of the team doctor), you go down first, I'll talk to Aaron alone, and I'll give you the answer later." Larry laughed and said, "By the way, don't say what we just said." ”

"Got it, Mr. Coach. Rest assured, I have a work ethic. I haven't heard anything you say. I went down first. With that, the doctor named John left.

When Dr. John was completely gone, Larry said to Aaron, "Come on, sit down and talk." ”

Looking at Aaron, who was a little confused, Larry smiled and said, "What are you doing, you still want me to invite you." ”

"Oh," Aaron sat down next to Larry.

"Okay, I know your distress, now Luke is as old as possible, plus you and I have protected him in the early stage, he has hardly encountered any setbacks, and everything is going well. Now he's still adapting to the rhythm of the NBA and improving. He's already made you feel a little threatened. ”

"Well, I've already felt something, and he's able to catch up with me now. There are even some aspects that have surpassed me. Aaron said seriously.

"Rebounds and blocks," Larry smiled, looking at Allen's faintly angry expression and immediately changed his words, "Okay, no kidding, his talent is really high." It's rare to see this kind of player. ”

"You're right, Luke's prestige with the 76ers is no longer below you. There were even times when I and veteran players like Tony Kukoc couldn't resist moving closer to him. Of course, you know that there are still people who are unhappy. But most of the players acquiesced to his second-best position. I believe that if the team were to make him the number one star of the team, I believe that almost all of the team would fall to his side. ”

"It's not that serious, not so much." Aaron said.

"That's basically the case." Larry said with a shrug. "But don't worry too much, Luke doesn't have much ambition, he's happy with his current position, and he's constantly maintaining your prestige, like that ......"

"You mean what an old superstar is going to do." Aaron thought for a moment and said.

"Yes, he's pretty much doing that now, playing every game with his own strength, helping the team win, and then helping the new boss of the team to maintain order, increasing his prestige, and having everybody support the new boss. Just like the current Spurs' David Robinson, he is constantly on the top of Tim Duncan, allowing himself to play a declining role in this team until he retires. That's what makes a good player. You know it's not for everyone. Larry said.

"I know that, but this can't happen to a rookie player, I remember most players come to the NBA either for money or to improve their social status, and at this time they should work hard to climb up. Is that what he hoped for? Aaron said.

"You're talking about one aspect, but I don't think it's likely, if you look at the defense he plays on the court, it's not like Pippen, although it's all all-round, but you can see that there is a deep mark of a magician. This is an absolute first-class all-star, and it is definitely not a second-class all-star. And I'm sure the magician taught him these things, not to let him go to a team and be the second leader. Combined with what he did, then there is only one option, and that is that his heart is not on this team! Larry came to a conclusion.

"But why did he come to the 76ers. We can't give him anything. With his ability and talent, there is almost no problem with that top pick, and there is no big problem with the rookie salary cap. If it weren't for the money, we wouldn't have given him too much else. Best Rookie? MVP?Overall Champion? Are these OK? Aaron said.

"I thought about it before the season, but you didn't find out, after he came, you didn't play like you used to. Too much has changed. ”

"Didn't we talk about it before the season and I'm going to change something this season." Aaron replied.

"But I set you the first goal to be done before the All-Star break, but you reached your goal early after Luke came, didn't you?" Larry said.

"That's true, but it still doesn't mean anything." Aaron said.

"Although I didn't believe it before, but seeing the current record, I have to say that this is really possible: he is here to help you become the champion!" Larry broke a message.

"No......" Alan was a little incredulous.

"Now that's the only explanation, otherwise he would have the power of an unpredictable prophet, do you believe it?" Larry said.

"I believe this!" "......" Larry was a little speechless.

"Alright, alright, you know I'm kidding." Aaron said, "You go on. ”

"Okay, let's get back to business, I hope there's another reason why you're staying in Philadelphia this time. I just want to give Luke a chance to face the team on his own. Larry said.

"What do you mean?"

"Luke is only on a one-year contract and it's clear that we're not going to keep him. I really didn't figure out how the team leaders wanted to keep him. His heart is no longer in this team, how can he stay? But now our roster can really compete with strong teams such as the Lakers, and there is really part of the reason for him. You know that I don't usually owe favors to others, and this time I want to use him to lead the team to play to pay off this favor. Larry said.

"......," Aaron knew Larry was saving face by saying this, "okay. I've agreed to stay, you take Luke out. ”

"Okay, that's it." Larry said, "I'll go back and prepare." ”

"Although you don't go, you must not be lazy, and you must take care of your injuries, you must know that you are our strongest core, don't let your injuries get worse and worse, this will only make you suffer in the end!" Larry continued.

"Okay, okay, I know, I know." Aaron quickly interrupted Larry, "But, Larry, is there really no way we can keep Luke?" ”

"That's a question," Larry became serious, "you can ask him directly after the season is over." ”

"Well, I understand."
