The Bulls hesitated for a long time and finally agreed to Deng Fang's offer.
The fact is that the Bulls approached Deng Fang during the regular season and wanted Deng Fang to treat Rose's illness.
At that time, the Bulls offered a high price of 10 million, but Deng Fang did not agree.
Although the price of 20 million is very high and Deng Fang does not provide "after-sales service" this time, the Bulls can only accept it.
Players like Rose are scarce resources. As long as they can be cured, no matter how much money is spent, it is worth it.
If Rose is not treated, the Bulls' path to the playoffs will be extremely bumpy!
One playoff game alone generates more than 2 million yuan in revenue from the arena!
And advertising revenue and TV broadcast revenue are even more than this!
Playing one more round of playoffs can almost make the money back!
This doesn’t even count the team’s exposure and influence among fans!
If it can reach the playoffs and go further in the playoffs, the team will gain more fans and the team's influence will be greater.
These are potential benefits that can be realized in the future.
So the Bulls gritted their teeth and decided to seek treatment from Deng Fang, even if the price was higher!
In addition to revenue considerations, the Bulls also have to consider next season.
If you don't seek treatment from Deng Fang now, what if Rose's recovery is not as good as expected during the regular season next season?
You must know that Deng Fang does not treat anyone during the regular season, except for Warriors players!
After passing this village, there is no such store!
Although Deng Fang charges a high price, the treatment effect is still guaranteed!
As for "after-sales service", this is what Deng Fang provides in addition!
Have you seen any hospital that treats your broken leg and then takes responsibility for breaking it again?
As long as the patient is cured and no medical malpractice occurs, no one will be responsible for further injuries.
Life and death are destiny, wealth is in heaven!
The Bulls gritted their teeth and agreed to Deng Fang's offer. Deng Fang didn't waste any words and treated Rose on the same day!
At the same time, 20 million also arrived!
This money can be earned very quickly!
Deng Fang secretly said in his heart: "I'm sorry, Brother Yi!"
Historically, the 76ers won this series and the black eight was successful.
With Rose back to health, the 76ers are in danger.
But Deng Fang couldn't control that much.
The 76ers can't go far anyway, and it doesn't matter whether they play one more series or one less series.

The No. 1 team in the Eastern Conference won, and the Heat, the No. 2 team in the Eastern Conference, also defeated the New York Knicks at home.
The biggest change for the Heat this season is on the defensive end. Their defensive efficiency is very high, allowing only 92.5 points per game, ranking fourth in the league.
The improvement of offense requires the talent of the players, and the improvement of defense can be achieved as long as the team works hard.
What's more important is defense winning championships!
For the Heat, their goal is not just to reach the playoffs, but the championship is their only goal.
As long as you don't win the championship, you are a failure!
The Heat also relied on defense to win this game. They only allowed the Knicks to score 67 points in the game. The Knicks shot only 35.7% from the field and made a whopping 24 turnovers!
The Knicks' top scorer was Jr. Smith who came off the bench. He made 7 of 17 shots and scored 17 points. His efficiency was not very high.
The Knicks' top star, Carmelo Anthony, made 3 of 15 shots from the field under the Heat's defense and only scored 11 points.
The Heat's top scorer was LeBron James, who was extremely efficient. He made 10 of 14 shots and 11 of 14 free throws, scoring a game-high 32 points.
With excellent defense, the Heat defeated the Knicks 100:67 and won the first victory in the series.
…
The top two teams in the Eastern Conference both won at home, but the Boston Celtics, who were third in the Eastern Conference, unexpectedly lost to the Hawks at home.
This game was also a defensive battle, with neither team scoring many points.
In the end, 4 players from the Celtics team scored in double figures, and 4 players from the Hawks team also scored in double figures.
The difference is that except for Garnett, Rondo, Paul Pierce and Bradley, who have increased their scoring, the Celtics only have three other players scoring, and two of them only scored two points each.
On the Eagles side, all the players who played scored!
In addition, due to the absence of Ray Allen, the Celtics were inaccurate from the outside and made 0 of 11 three-pointers in the game. Their performance was quite poor.
The Eagles made 7 of 20 three-pointers, with a shooting percentage of 35%, which is still higher than the league average.
In addition, the Hawks also took 21 free throws and made 14 of them, while the Celtics only took 13 free throws and made 10 of them.
With a reliable three-point shooting percentage and more free throws, although the Hawks made more mistakes than the Celtics, they ultimately won the game 83:74.
It can be seen from this game that the Celtics' defense is still good, but their offense is too annoying.
Although defense wins championships, in the very intense playoffs, the team cannot go far without an outstanding offense.
The essence of basketball ultimately depends on who can put the ball into the basket more efficiently.

In another game, the Magic defeated the Indiana Pacers 81:77 on the road.
It can be said that the Magic have been in constant turmoil this season. News that Howard may leave the team continues to appear in the media and major forums. The news that the main player is leaving has also made the Magic feel disheartened, and the team's record has also dropped a lot compared to before.
At the end of the game, Howard rarely missed many games due to injuries.
Before the Magic lost to the Knicks on April 6, several players on the Magic team suspected that Howard had faked an injury.
On that day, there was news that Howard forced the Magic management to fire Van Gundy.
Of course, subsequent examination results showed that Howard was not injured by an explosion, but the Magic did not fire Van Gundy.
With everything intertwined, one can imagine how delicate the relationship between the Magic's generals is.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Howard is already in Cao's camp and his heart is in Han.
His body is injured, his heart is not with the team, and he has another destination. In this case, it is inevitable that Howard will miss the playoffs.
Although Howard is gone, the Magic's defense is still not bad. Their three-arms defense was all over the place, and the Pacers only scored 77 points in the game.
However, due to the lack of Howard's inside containment, the Magic still suffered a lot in rebounding. At the same time, their ability to create damage in the inside also dropped a lot, and their free throws were half less than the Pacers.
Relying on better outside three-pointers, the Magic narrowly defeated the Pacers by four points in the end and won the first game of the series.
