Chapter 362: Preparing for the Preseason (Fifth Shift Delivered)

Led by Jackson, a group of people drove to San Francisco's Love and Angel Orthopaedic Hospital, where Ellis had chosen to be treated, which has a long history and a story about its appearance.

At the beginning of the 19th century, when San Francisco was in the midst of a gold rush, a debt-indebted and desperate Spanish orthopedic surgeon came to the city and, like most people, made countless efforts in the city and found nothing, let alone gold nuggets, not even a trace of golden sand.

Disappointed, the doctor relented, and just then, a friend of his, who had slipped in the river and sprained his knee, was in destitute like the doctor, and he had difficulty even eating and lodging, and where could he afford to treat his knee? It just so happened that the doctor knew how to treat orthopedics, so he was cured.

The injured man thanked him and told him that his medical skills were excellent. This compliment inspired the doctor, because he suddenly noticed that after soaking in the river for a long time, or many people did not hesitate to venture in the Jedi in order to find a suitable place to dig sand, and people were often injured, so he had an idea and opened a simple orthopedic clinic, and later with the fame and expansion, finally there was San Francisco's number one orthopedic specialty hospital - Love and Angel Hospital.

The reason why the name of the hospital is 'Love and Angels' is because the Spanish doctor was very difficult in the early days of establishing the hospital, and he had no money to buy equipment, and many poor gold diggers partnered to pool money to help him buy equipment, and the nurses in the early days of his hospital were the wives and daughters of these gold diggers, so he had such a name.

A row of luxury cars drove into the parking lot of the hospital, the car started with Jackson's Porsche, and the broken tail was the Mercedes-Benz S600 that Nelson Jr. had just bought, and these luxury cars were assembled to be eye-catching, but when they arrived at the parking lot, when Jackson with sunglasses and Barnes got out of the car, the people watching the cars around suddenly dispersed, and someone shouted:

"Let's go, it's the big brothers of the San Francisco gang who came to the hospital to cut people!"

Jackson was in a bad mood and couldn't help but scold: "Son of a bitch, which eye did he see the gangster's ****?" Lao Tzu was the first to get out of the, can't you see that I'm a good citizen? ”

Old Nelson coughed heavily and shouted at Jackson, "What the fuck are you making a fucking joke at this time?" Hurry up and see Monta! ”

Jackson: "......"

Ellis lives in a VIP room, when a group of people squeezed in, saw that Ellis's left foot has been thick plaster paste, but the spirit is not bad, is lying on the bed to watch the September 2008 "Playboy", the face is ruddy, the eyes are bright, it seems that the summer vacation is very moist.

A group of people rushed into the ward, and saw that Ellis was actually reading "Playboy", Jackson, as the leading brother, was immediately furious, he slapped his head and face, snatched the magazine and rolled it up and put it in his fat trouser pocket, and yelled angrily: "Damn, Monta, are you recuperating from his illness, and you have to have a recuperation look when you are recuperating, can you read this kind of magazine now?" ”

Barnes reached out and snatched the magazine in his hand like lightning, he was about to grin when he reached out an elbow from behind, and all of a sudden, Harrington almost knocked Barnes unconscious, he snatched the magazine and clutched it to his chest, yelling, "Quiet, quiet, this is the damn ward......"

Chamberlain went up to fight, Billups was not far behind, Azubuike moved forward, but Evans's huge ass swung hard, Azubuike screamed and was pushed out, West gritted his teeth and rushed in, reaching out to grab the magazine that Chamberlain held above his head.

Curry, Ibaka, and Morrow looked stunned as they watched a group of people shouting and galloping: Isn't it just a Playboy? What are these people grabbing, no wonder they all say that the Warriors are great at rebounding, with this fighting spirit, isn't it easy to grab a rebound?

It was old Nelson who stopped these people's fighting: "Although the sound insulation in the VIP room is very good, you have to pay attention to the quality, damn it, when I was as young as you, I was very calm in doing things!" Come, Z, my good boy, give me the book, and keep in mind your purpose, we have come to see Monta. ”

"I'll rub!" Reluctantly, Chamberlain handed the book to old Nelson.

Seeing old Nelson, Ellis, who had been smiling, had an unnatural expression, and he opened his mouth and honestly called 'Chief', and stopped talking.

Nelson Sr. didn't really stop the players from fighting, and the atmosphere was just right, and it was exactly the kind of brotherhood that a championship team needs.

But the fight was not endless, and old Nelson stopped the crowd, and after asking about Ellis's condition, he suddenly asked, "Monta, for God's sake, tell me, how did you hurt your ankle?" Don't say damn slip on the treadmill, I don't believe NBA stars can get hurt like this, damn, my grandson wouldn't be so stupidly injured. ”

Jackson is the big brother of the players, he is guarding his little brothers all the time, and when he saw the old Nelson questioning Ellis, he was a little unhappy, and said: "Boss, it's not right for you to say that, is there less **** injury in the NBA?" ”

Jackson is not nonsense, NBA stars are injured in a variety of ways, for example, in 2001, Iverson led the 76ers to the Finals, in a certain offense his teammate Geiger played a beautiful attack, seeing this Xiao Ai ran over happily and high-fived his teammates to celebrate, how unexpectedly, Geiger was very excited and slapped Xiao Ai's buttocks, which hit the sky-high and fragile tailbone, which caused Xiao Ai's injury to worsen.

In addition, in the summer of 2006, when Hayes was invited by Maddie to participate in the softball charity star game, he went to the rest area at one end of the court to drink water between games, but due to a leak in the water cooler, Hayes was electrocuted and went into shock on the spot. The fierce player, who was known for his ferocity and daring to fight against Chamberlain, could not speak for a while, and even had difficulty breathing. However, after spending the night in the hospital and conducting a detailed examination, Hayes was out of danger, and then Hayes began to get nervous at the mention of electrocution.

In the 1994-1995 season, Buckleyba, who had not missed a few games in his career, once missed 10 games for the Suns because he went to a concert by rock star Eric Clapton, and he couldn't help but rub his eyes with his hands because the lights were too harsh, and he burned his cornea with the hand lotion he had just applied, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

In addition, there are many other comic injuries, such as the Mavericks boss Nowitzki once stepped on the ground while tying his shoes, and as a result, the old foot injury recurred and he missed the game; In 1991, Knicks rookie forward Gerald Wilkins laughed so hard that he strained his thigh muscles because he listened to a joke told by his teammates......

But old Nelson didn't care about that, he looked directly at Ellis and said, "Now it's too late for you to tell the truth, kid, those people in the uniform team are not to fool, they have already gone to ask your attending doctor, they want to know the real reason for your injury." ”

Ellis bowed his head and was silent, and when old Nelson finished speaking, he said stubbornly, "Boss, don't you believe me? I'm really injured by sports, so if you don't believe me, ask my doctor. ”

Now that this is the case, it is not good for old Nelson to ask any more questions, otherwise it will be difficult for him to lead the troops - if a commander can't trust his generals, then how can the soldiers trust him?

The uniformed crew soon returned, and they said to Nelson Sr., "We asked Mr. Ellis's attending physician and the treatment team, and they all told us that Mr. Ellis had a sports injury. ”

Hearing this, old Nelson breathed a sigh of relief, but the expressions of the people in the uniform team were still the same serious.

Seeing this, old Nelson frowned and asked, "What's the matter, what else do you have to suspect?" ”

A middle-aged man in his forties looked at his colleague, and then said to old Nelson: "General manager, I hope you know that when we went to see the doctor, we didn't ask any questions about Mr. Ellis's condition, but they took the initiative to explain the cause of the injury, which made them wonder, do they have the ability to predict the future?" ”

Old Nelson's heart sank.

The Americans were very efficient, and an hour later, Chamberlain and the others were laughing in Ellis's hospital room, and a fax came from Alabama, an accident investigation report, and the protagonist was named Monta Ellis.

Seeing this investigation report, Elliston, who had been talking about laughter before, turned pale, and the others were also dumbfounded:

The investigation report clearly showed that Ellis was injured while riding a motorcycle, but he rode relatively slowly, but when he was turning, the wheel slipped and hit a Toyota next to him, and Ellis's ankle was crushed by the heavy motorcycle.

The heavy locomotive was Yamaha's fist product, the Stomper, which Chamberlain and others had seen in Ellis' garage.

In order to protect the health of the players, NBA teams have a lot of things that players can't touch, and motorcycles are one of them. Not only did Ellis go against the team's demands, but he also cheated on the team after the injury, so the matter is more serious.

The Lakers faced a similar situation two seasons ago when their power forward Radmanovic broke his contract and dislocated his shoulder, and he initially pleaded that he accidentally slipped on the ice, after the truth was revealed, the Lakers fined him about $500,000 and missed two months of play.

The Warriors' punishment for Ellis has not been announced for a long time, and Nelson Sr. comforted him to recuperate, and the time soon came to mid-October, and the NBA beacon was ignited again, and although there was still some time left in the regular season, the seven-game preseason game began.

The Warriors players were full of ambition, and Nelson Sr. quickly filled the firepower gap caused by Ellis' absence, bringing West, who had just won the Sixth Man of the Year, as the starting point guard to partner with Billups, and they were about to start the new season.

The starting lineup that Nelson Sr. is now planning is center Chamberlain, which is the core, and he is the leader of the offense and defense; The big forward is Evans, this is a defensive blue-collar worker, who can help Chamberlain grab rebounds, and the small forward is handed over to Jackson to dominate, which is also a strong player who has two brushes both offensively and defensively, and the guard line is Billups and West combined,
