Chapter 237: Popular science

The National Rehabilitation Hospital in Washington, one of the best medical institutions in Washington, DC, has the nation's top treatment team and level of care. ＞One novel ≥﹤≦﹤﹤＜＜＜≤≦≦≤≦≦≦≦ Here there are only 137 beds in the inpatient department, and many beds have already been booked, but most of the people who can be treated here are the dignitaries of Washington, DC. If a person wants to be placed in a bed, I am afraid that he will either heal early or he is dead.
On the third floor of the inpatient building, ward 13o1, this is the special ward of the rehabilitation hospital, and most people cannot live here. At this time, Fox Leon is sitting on the sand in this ward watching Mark Twain’s "Running for Governor". He has been sitting here and reading the book for an afternoon, and New York, hundreds of miles away, is The exciting draft is going on.
Except for a phone call to Danny Angie when he came out halfway, he never left this room, as if those things had nothing to do with him. When he was about to finish reading the book, there was a knock on the door. Leon put down the book and opened the door gently. A nurse was standing at the door holding the equipment and asked: "Checking time after the meal. may I come in?"
Leon nodded and let the nurse in. The nurse walked into the room and walked to the bed. Together with Leon, he slowly helped the old man lying on the bed-it was Arnold Auerbach, who looked like He was extremely weak, his pale face turned pale, and his sparse and messy head was raised one by one, and the old age spots became more obvious.
The nurse took Auerbach's blood pressure, body temperature, pulse rate, and observed basic vital signs. After confirming that he was okay, he and Leon helped him back to the bed. Auerbach was falling asleep. Yesterday, when Leon came to visit him at Auerbach's house in Washington, he found no one opened the door no matter what. Before coming, Leon had called Auerbach. Auerbach said he would wait for Leon at home, so it was impossible for him to go out.
Feeling that something was wrong, Leon went in from the backyard and smashed the back door of Auerbach's house with a fist. Only when he entered it was he found that Auerbach had fallen in his office. He was a heart attack. Leon immediately called 911, then gave Auerbach a compression cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the study and gave him medicine.
It was this cardiopulmonary resuscitation that bought Auerbach’s precious few minutes. After the ambulance arrived at Auerbach’s home and sent him to the hospital for rescue, the doctor told Leon that if he was a few minutes later, he would be rescued. Auerbach can also be paralyzed because of insufficient blood supply to the brain.
Now, he just needs a good rest and quit cigars completely.
After finishing the checkup and packing up the things, the nurse said to Leon: "Everything is normal. I want to ask you, Mr. Leon, is it really okay not to tell his family about Mr. Auerbach's condition?"
Leon tucked Auerbach's quilt and replied: "I also want to inform his daughter, but when he woke up he told me not to tell anyone, including his daughter... I don't know what he thinks, maybe he I don’t want to worry about my children."
The nurse nodded and did not ask any more. Instead, he took out a small note book from his pocket and handed it to Leon and said: "My son is a basketball fan, although his favorite star is Kobe Bryant, but If an nBa coach can sign him, he should be very happy."
Leon smiled and signed a name on this sticky note. Although he is not a great coach, he is often recognized on the street in the United States.
As soon as the nurse left the ward, Auerbach’s voice came from the bed,
I won’t let you tell your daughter, it’s all for you, you little bitch.

Leon seemed to know Auerbach was awake a long time ago, so he was not surprised at all, but went back to the sand and picked up the book, ready to finish "Running for Governor".
"Help me up, brat!" Auerbach lifted the quilt, trying to get out of bed. Leon hurriedly stepped forward and supported Auerbach, saying that the doctor warned him not to get out of bed casually, but to rest well.
"I never listen to the advice of those doctors. If listening to them can make me live for another year, then I don’t need that year. The reason why I just pretended to be asleep just now was that I didn’t want to listen to the nurse Luo Li’s wordy and talked about Let me know a lot of health care, and remind me not to smoke!" Auerbach has always been stubborn, and has always been deaf to the doctor's instructions.
"Fox, give me a cigar." Auerbach hasn't touched a cigar for 24 hours since his heart attack, which makes him more uncomfortable than having a heart attack.
"No, you can't smoke anymore, and I didn't bring a cigar." Leon shook his head and refused. He rarely refused Auerbach, but this time he knew that he couldn't let the old man be willful anymore.
When Auerbach was about to get angry, Leon said again: "I want you to watch the Celtics win the 17th championship." Now Auerbach stopped talking, he sat back on the bed angrily , I want a piece of gum from Leon to chew in my mouth to suppress my cravings.
"The draft should be halfway through, right? How's the situation going?" Auerbach looked at the clock in the room and asked. It is now more than eight o'clock. According to the process of the convention, the first round of the draft has arrived. In the back section.
"If everything is normal, the transaction should have been completed, we will choose Milicic, and then he will be sent to the Timberwolves, we get Kevin Garnett." Leon wrote lightly, a big deal that shocked the league, Leon seemed like a small matter of course.
Auerbach didn’t know how many ups and downs he had experienced in his life, nor did he make a fuss about Leon’s description. He lay back on the bed and said,
You’ve been working on this for more than a year, right? It’s pretty, but I’m afraid Danny will be left out this time. He’s probably going to be upset."
"Danny is the general manager, he has to weigh too many things, and Boston is a mixed bag. Unlike me, I'm just a coach, I only want the players I want the most." Leon also understands Danny Angie. , And Leon used his relationship circle in New York in this transaction, and Angie couldn't help much.
"I heard that Garnett's salary has reached 280,000 yuan, which is half of the salary cap. How do you do this and teach me this old man?" Auerbach has always set various rules for Stern Don't catch a cold, now the various terms of cBa are getting more and more complicated. The old man has been with basketball for a lifetime, but in the end he was confused by these terms and never wanted to involve specific transactions.
Leon closed the book, stood up and walked to a small whiteboard in the room, where the doctor's advice and medication schedule were posted. Leon used it as a blackboard to teach Auerbach a cBa trading rules course.
"Let’s first understand the salary situation of the Celtics. Last season, there were 15 players on our team. The total salary was US$50.83 million. Last year’s salary cap was US$40.27 million and the luxury tax line was 510 million. Fortunately we don’t have to pay the luxury tax. At the beginning of this season, the salary cap will rise to about 430,000, but no matter what, our salary is over the salary cap. So if we want to trade, we get the player’s salary and cannot afford to pay 125% of the player’s total salary + 100 million USD."
Leon talked about the most basic trading balance rules of nBa. Auerbach was also sickly and bored, taking this as a pastime, and he really wanted to figure out what the current trading rules of nBa were about.
"So, Kevin Garnett's salary next season is 280,000 US dollars, and the total wages we pay players must be at least 2.16 million US dollars~EbookFREE.me~ The new players and picks obtained in the draft are not included in the salary balance. Yes, so we need to pay Antoine Walker-$1.35 million next season, Eric Williams-$5.54 million, Abdullah Warrick-$6.175 million, which adds up to With a total of more than $250,000, there is no problem with salary matching." Leon has a salary sheet in his mind, and he can report everyone's salary casually.
Auerbach had seen Leon's math skills in Marshfield, and he was not surprised at all. He also asked: "Then our salary must be marked up again. How many people are left on the team now?"
"Change 3 to get 1 and lose 2. This year Steve also decided to retire. Blunt, Alexander, and Bellman are all expiring contracts and will not renew them, so we still have a total of Nine players, with a total salary of $550,000, have passed this year's luxury tax line."
"Are you going to play with nine people?" Auerbach asked.
"We still have veteran basic salary and rookie contract to use. Of course, that is something Danny needs to consider. It has nothing to do with me." Leon completed this coveted big deal. As for other aftermaths, he didn't want to do any more. Go ahead. Everything is left to the general manager. (To be continued.)
