Defeating the Nuggets means the Jazz will have at least two more home games.
If they can beat the Warriors, the Jazz will have two or three more home games!
No matter how good the Warriors are in the regular season, at least most teams believe that the new Warriors team can compete in the playoffs.
Even sweeping the Spurs won't change some people's views.
The Warriors are very good, but more importantly, the Spurs are old and weak!
The Jazz have strong soldiers and generals, and a strong lineup.
Mr. Sloan is even more difficult to mess with!
In short, if Okur can be restored to his original state in a short period of time, it will be worth spending millions of dollars for the Jazz!
What's more, it's impossible for the team to spend all this money!
NBA players have very complete medical insurance, and most of their expenses can be reimbursed if they get sick and are hospitalized.
Of course, that was a bill from a regular hospital, and the insurance company would not reimburse Deng Fang!
However, if it can be restored in a short period of time, not only the team is willing, but also the individual players will benefit a lot.
Once a player suffers a serious injury, there is a high probability that he will sink.
First of all, it is difficult to fully recover from physical injuries.
How many stars have injuries that last their entire lives!
With the current level of human medical care, no matter how rich you are, it is difficult to completely restore a person's body to the way it was before the injury.
No matter what kind of injury, there will be some sequelae.
Secondly, it is difficult to regain the playing state when healthy.
Serious injuries generally require more than half a year of rest. It is very difficult for a player to not play for such a long time once he returns to the game.
For a team, unless you are a franchise player, it is difficult to give you too much time to find your form.
Who knows if you can get your form back?
What if you leave after regaining your status?
Is it worth losing the team to find your status?
If you don't make it to the playoffs, you'll lose a lot of money!
Therefore, once you suffer a serious injury, the team will become cautious towards you.
Even if your body has fully recovered, if you don't play well and can't find your form, the team won't be able to give you a lot of time all the time.
This is true even for players like McGrady!
Not to mention average players!
If it doesn't work, trade away and sign a rookie!
As long as you are not a player like Kobe or James, no matter how good you are, someone can take your place!
The team is anxious, and the players must be anxious too.
Being traded means your value drops.
Everyone has their own suitable environment. If you can't play in a team that you have been working with for many years, but when you get to a new team and change to a new environment, will you be able to play well?
Your parent team can't wait any longer, so the new team can give you plenty of time?
There are players who perform better when they change teams, but most of those players do so for other reasons, not injuries.
For a player, if there is no guarantee of playing time, there will be no good data.
Without good data your salary will go down!
No one even wants you!
Therefore, even if you have a contract now, as long as you want to go further and get the next contract, you have to recover as soon as possible and get back to the competition!
For a player, the body is the capital of revolution. This sentence is best reflected in professional players!
It is for this reason that if it can be restored to its original state in a short period of time, it will mean a lot of money for the players!
Deng Fang knew that later Okur's condition declined because of this injury, and he retired very early.
Okur only played in one playoff game this season before being eliminated for the season.
The later Okur played only 13 games for the Jazz in the next season, the 2010-11 season, due to ankle and waist injuries, all of which were as a substitute, and his data dropped to 4.9 per game.
points, 2.3 rebounds.
In the 2011 offseason, Okur left the Jazz, where he had played for seven seasons, and was traded to the New Jersey Nets.
By the 2011-12 season, Okur only played 17 games in the regular season due to injuries, averaging 7.6 points and 4.8 rebounds per game.
Okur announced his retirement after this season.
Without this injury, Okur's NBA career is likely to be extended for a few more years.
After all, Okur is better at shooting, his style of play is not prone to injuries, and he can still be used as he gets older.
Furthermore, even if it is not for the purpose of playing on the court, it is just for the sake of comfort, less pain, and early recovery, which is what every player hopes for!
This is what everyone on earth wants!
Therefore, 4.5 million seems like a lot, but if it can be restored in a short time, both the team and the players will be happy to spend the money.
Since both parties are happy, then each side will contribute a part!
Who pays more and who pays less is not Deng Fang’s concern!
Whoever is more anxious should give more!
Reporters also felt that Deng Fang's words were reasonable.
It’s a bit expensive, but it also has many benefits!
"Can you guarantee that Okuku's disease will be cured?" a reporter then asked.
"Again, I'm not treating illnesses!" Deng Fang corrected: "I'm just helping with recovery and speeding up the recovery from injuries."
After a pause, Deng Fang continued: "Since I dare to offer this price, of course I can guarantee it! If nothing else, as long as the Jazz and Okur are willing to pay this amount, then I can guarantee that Okur will finish the game in good health.
One round of playoffs!”
"The next round? It's the series against you!" the reporter asked doubtfully: "What if Okur gets injured again later?"
"That's none of my business." Deng Fang replied: "If he can finish a complete series, it means that his injury is completely healed, and any further injuries will have nothing to do with me!"
No one raised any objection to Deng Fang's words.
I can’t just treat you once and then treat you for the rest of your life!
After a pause, Deng Fang continued: "Of course, you are overthinking this issue, because even a healthy Sir Okur cannot defeat us!"
Well, the reporters all breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. Yes, the familiar Deng Fang is back!
How confident Deng Fang must be!
Treat opponent players!
Take the initiative to increase the difficulty of your team's playoffs!
I wonder if Warriors owner Cohan will want to kill Deng Fang after hearing what he said!
Deng Fang didn't care about this.
The system has requirements. If an opponent's main player in the playoffs is injured and unable to play, then Deng Fang must treat him!
In this case, it’s better to ask for more money!
They don’t know the system requirements anyway!
…
The victory in the fourth game allowed Deng Fang to gain 8 ability points again.
The ability points consumed for treating illnesses in the playoffs will be doubled, but the ability points gained from winning the game will also be doubled.
Now Deng Fang has a total of 75 ability points.
This is the result after spending 40 ability points on Curry's treatment.
The biggest advantage of sweeping the opponent 4:0 is that the team has a lot of rest time.
The bad thing is that there is too much rest time.
Not playing for too long will make the players lose their sense of the game.
The advantages definitely outweigh the disadvantages for veterans.
But for a team like the Warriors with mostly young people, this may not necessarily be the case.
