NBA: There is nothing wrong with bringing a ball in a fight!

Chapter 62 The new season of the NBA is born!Johnson infected with HIV, announced his retirement!
Ye Qingchen remembered very clearly that Magic Johnson was found to be HIV positive during the team's routine inspection.

Therefore, it should be the routine physical examination for this season.

What Ye Qingchen has to do is to fully demonstrate his strength during this period of time.

Especially in front of head coach Dunleavy and general manager Jerry West, he must show his strong strength.

Only in this way, when Magic Johnson announced his retirement, Ye Qingchen would be immediately thought of by them.

Then smoothly took over the position of the team's No. [-] position.

This is why Ye Qingchen worked so hard during the offseason.

If you want to stand out in the NBA, the premise is to be affirmed and trusted by the coach.

Therefore, this time is Ye Qingchen's best chance.

Physical examination also takes a certain amount of time to get the results.

During this time, Ye Qingchen participated in the team's joint training.

On the first day of reporting, Ye Qingchen gave the old player a bad start.

Now the Lakers players dare not underestimate Ye Qingchen anymore.

And the head coach also consciously let Ye Qingchen participate in the training of the main team.

Ye Qingchen was able to complete the tactics arranged by the head coach very well.

This made Dunleavy quite satisfied.

This is a very sensible rookie player, he can always make moves and complete passes according to his own requirements.

This kind of player is the player that the coach likes.

Even many of the main players of the Lakers were very satisfied with Ye Qingchen's performance.

Ye Qingchen only showed his domineering side in the team match on the first day.

But in the following team training, Ye Qingchen became very humble.

No matter who gave him advice, Ye Qingchen always looked like he was being educated with an open mind.

This attitude also makes many old players very satisfied.

At least, Ye Qingchen won't be arrogant because of his own strength.

Moreover, when Ye Qingchen was training with the main players, the strength he showed also surprised many Lakers players.

They knew that according to Ye Qingchen's current performance, it was a certainty that he would become the team's starter.

As time went on, so did the preseason.

But to Ye Qingchen's surprise, the head coach didn't let him play in the preseason games.

The main players of the Lakers have already made their debut.

Even Keith Owens got playing time.

But Ye Qingchen was not allowed to appear on stage.

For Lakers coach Dunleavy's arrangement, even Magic Johnson was very puzzled.

Even the outside media are very curious why this rookie player who has been boasted so much doesn't even have a chance to play.

There have even been many voices saying that Ye Qingchen must not be trusted by the head coach.

This prevented him from getting a chance to play.

However, Ye Qingchen didn't seem to be worried about this issue at all.

He didn't even show any impatience.

In every preseason game, Ye Qingchen sat on the bench conscientiously, cheering for his teammates.

Whenever a teammate scores a goal, he will vigorously wave the towel in his hand and cheer for his teammates.

It can be said that Ye Qingchen has done everything he should do except appearing on the stage to play.

Some media even joked:

"Lakers general manager Jerry paid big money to sign a dedicated towel keeper!"

"This player is really good at waving the towel!"

This joke was instantly recognized by many fans.

Thus, Ye Qingchen soon got another nickname:
The Messenger Who Waves the Towel!
Even though he has been ridiculed crazily by the outside world, Ye Qingchen still maintains a peaceful mind.

Whether it was competition or training, Ye Qingchen did not show a trace of impatience.

Even the head coach Deng Lewei was amazed by Ye Qingchen's calmness.

In fact, the reason he did this was to test Ye Qingchen.

See if his mentality is mature enough.

Because he has already made an important decision about Ye Qingchen.

He wanted Ye Qingchen to give him the starting spot at the beginning of the regular season.

And letting him spend on the bench in the preseason is the final test for him.

Obviously, judging from Ye Qingchen's current performance, Ye Qingchen has done a good job.

Just when everything was developing as Dunleavy predicted, a piece of news about Magic Johnson's abnormal physical examination within the Lakers disrupted everything.

"Makita tested positive for HIV!"

When the team doctor told Dunleavy the news, Dunleavy was sluggish.

His face was full of disbelief, he stared at the team doctor and asked:
"Could it be a mistake?"

The team doctor shook his head dejectedly and said:
"I have done three tests in a row!"

"The test results are all positive!"

"It can't go wrong!"

This news, like a bolt from the blue, disrupted all of Dunleavy's plans for the Lakers.

Dunleavy's idea is to let Ye Qingchen play the third position, and even when Magic Johnson is resting, Ye Qingchen can play the first position as a cameo.

Because Ye Qingchen's ability to control the field has been tested.

He's perfectly up to the job.

However, now Magic Johnson has been detected to be a carrier of HIV virus.

The lethality of this news is really too great.

Even Buss, the owner of the Lakers, was alarmed.

Magic Johnson can be said to be the backbone of the Lakers.

At this time, it was found to be a carrier of the HIV virus. This is really fatal news for the Lakers.

The management of the Lakers also held an emergency internal meeting to discuss how to solve this matter.

Of course, there is also crisis public relations, how should they do it.

After Magic Johnson learned the news, he was in a state of confusion.

It can even be described as a thunderbolt.

Because he really never thought that he would be infected with HIV.

Because he has never been aware of any pain in his body.

Now suddenly telling him that he is a carrier of HIV virus is really hard to accept.

However, the facts were already in front of him.

And when the team doctor asked if he had taken protective measures in his private life, Magic Johnson froze.

"Do you need any protective measures?"

These words left the team doctor completely speechless.

The problem that Magic Johnson is an HIV carrier has been well explained.

In this day and age, many people are very afraid of HIV carriers.

Although normal physical contact will not lead to infection.

But this virus is so horrible that no one really minds.

Even within the management of the Lakers, there are two completely different voices.

In the end, team owner Bass still made a painful decision to let Magic Johnson have an indefinite truce.

But Magic Johnson has his own ideas and plans.

He directly held a press conference and confessed to everyone that he is an HIV carrier and will retire accordingly.

This news can be regarded as a big hit in the 1991-1992 NBA season.

The entire NBA league was shaken!

Magic Johnson announced his retirement, the Lakers have no leader, what is the future of the Lakers?
