NBA: I'm really just an ordinary coach

Afterwards, Tang Feng mentioned the safeguards after the start of the training camp, especially the medical team, which was one of the purposes of Tang Feng's visit to Pritchard.

The quality of the medical team is directly related to the team's performance.

An excellent team doctor can ensure that the team remains healthy to the greatest extent, otherwise the team will be full of wounded soldiers.

The Trail Blazers medical team, known as the"veterinarian", has made many foolish decisions and indirectly ruined many players. As a time traveler, Tang Feng knows a little bit.

Roy and Oden are the best examples.

Before Tang Feng traveled through time, he had also seen the news that the Trail Blazers medical team gave players oral painkillers to urge them to survive injuries in order to get them on the court.

This extremely irresponsible behavior will have a great negative impact on the players' careers.

To put it bluntly, this is a crime.

The NBA has a"veterinary" team and a"magic doctor" team.

And this"magic doctor" team is the Suns medical team.

Instead of going to great lengths to find a top team doctor, it is better to go directly to Phoenix to poach people.

At the same time, Tang Feng also mentioned a person, that is, the Suns' chief trainer.

Tang Feng forgot the specific name, but he remembered seeing a report about this person, who was also a person who could protect the players.

Although Pritchard was a little puzzled by Tang Feng's suggestion, after all, the medical teams of the Trail Blazers and the Suns were not well-known at that time, but he did not refuse. It just so happened that he also had to discuss the trade of Joe Johnson with the Suns. After the two of them discussed it, the medical team and the trainer were not in a hurry at this time.

Wait until the trading day starts, sign contracts with the free agents and rookies recruited by the team, and when the training camp is on track, Pritchard will go to Phoenix again....

July 1.

The 2002 summer free market officially opens.

This day every year is the day that basketball reporters pay the most attention to, and it is also their busiest day.

In this off-season when basketball newspaper sales are sluggish, the most effective way to increase sales is heavy news.

That is why, in the few days between the end of the draft and the start of the trade day, they tirelessly wrote articles about the Trail Blazers.

Especially some unscrupulous tabloid reporters, they do whatever they can to attract attention. After writing about the trade, they write about Tang Feng and Pritchard.

Whether it is scolding or speculation, in short, it is for sales.

And now, they will have new material.

The Trail Blazers, who were criticized by them, did not disappoint them.

The successive official announcements of two trades also made the Trail Blazers the focus of many basketball reporters for a while.

There are not many big fish in this year's free market.

In this case, the players involved in the two trades of the Trail Blazers, Bonzi Wells and Marcus Camby, are enough to make these basketball reporters excited.

Another important point is that in these two transactions, the Trail Blazers once again continued the style of the previous two transactions, further confirming the"Portland Generous Team"’、‘Portland's money-spending boy' and other titles.

Especially the trade with the Spurs made them excited.

They decided to tear down the team and rebuild, but gave up Bonzi Wells, who rose last season and might even grow into an All-Star, and only got back a rookie and water dispenser guard who had never set foot in the NBA, as well as Steve Smith, who was traded by the team before.

These contents are enough to make them imagine tomorrow's sales.

The fanatical fans who are also paying attention to the Blazers' movements, as expected, gathered again in the square outside the Rose Garden Arena, and greeted the people in the arena enthusiastically in this hot summer.

However, compared with the previous ones, this time the movement was smaller, and it lasted less than an hour.

Tang Feng was naturally not aware of these situations.

Tang Feng is a little depressed now.

When the two transactions were officially announced, Tang Feng asked Pritchard to contact Kirilenko and Ginobili to tell them about the team's training camp.

Kirilenko, who has already returned to China, said indifferently that the national team is training to prepare for the World Championships, and will report to Portland after the World Championships.

Ginobili's situation is worse than Kirilenko's. Ginobili does not want to sign with the Blazers, who have been criticized for a long time, but euphemistically expressed that he wants the team to trade him.

Depressed as it is,

Tang Feng understands Ginobili's actions. The Blazers' reputation is too bad now, even worse than the Portland Prison Team. Considering his own career, it is normal to have such a request.

However, it is impossible to trade, and it cannot be forced blindly.

Let's take it one step at a time.

There is also good news. Stephen Jackson has decided to report to the team and participate in the team training camp. Tang

Feng still has high hopes for this player known as"Captain Jack". He is good at both offense and defense, and his style of play is tough.

There are also shortcomings, that is, he has a hot temper and occasionally has some troubles off the court.

A team cannot always have nice guys, it also needs villains, and Stephen Jackson is the villain chosen by Tang Feng for the Trail Blazers, a capable villain.

As for Rasheed Wallace, although he is known as the"Roaring Lord", he is not suitable to be the villain.

Rasheed Wallace has many technical fouls because he often complains to the referee, which is somewhat similar to the rising star of the Mavericks before Tang Feng traveled through time.

The difference is that Rasheed Wallace did not receive strong support from the league.

Of course, the most important thing is that being a villain sometimes requires a price.

In the Trail Blazers lineup, Rasheed Wallace is an indispensable one, and no one can replace his role on the court.
