After the wedding, Joumana leveraged his influence to become a host for Phoenix Television’s Channel 12.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>J Kidd nodded as if he’d been holding it all in. Without any prompting from Chen Yu, he began to ramble about his love life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, he talked about how much he loved Joumana, and how the kiss he blew during free throws was his way of expressing his love for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then came a heap of trivial matters: Joumana thinking he was too laid-back, him feeling she was too career-driven and neglected their child, and they’d even fought more than once over an old flame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yu cut J Kidd off abruptly, staring at him in disbelief. \"You’re telling me you dated Donnie Bryston? The one who sang ’Un-Break My Heart’?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>J Kidd nodded sheepishly. \"You didn’t know?\" he asked. \"It was all over the news at the time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yu shook his head. He had just started at Jackson Memorial Hospital in ’95 and was swamped with work. He had no time to keep up with celebrity gossip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Donnie Clifton, though?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yu gave J Kidd another look. ’This guy’s got game,’ he thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go on,\" Chen Yu said, waving his hand for J Kidd to continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at that point, J Kidd seemed to run out of things to say. He rubbed his face in frustration. \"Chen, I have so many regrets now, and I just don’t know what to do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yu didn’t rush to give an answer. Besides, it wasn’t a question he could answer anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His grandfather always used to say that it’s hard for an outsider to judge family matters. Chen Yu had no intention of getting involved in someone else’s domestic affairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yu was simply worried that these off-court issues would affect J Kidd’s performance in games.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, J Kidd had only just now voiced the problem and acknowledged it. He needed time to think things through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’A good psychologist’s job is to guide you, to let you make your own choices.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yu thought about the psychologists back at Jackson Memorial Hospital. During sessions, they’d just listen to patients ramble. They’d insist on splitting a single conversation into multiple sessions, charge exorbitant fees, and live a life of leisure. ’What a sweet gig.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about this,\" Chen Yu proposed. \"After training is over the day after tomorrow, we can talk again properly and figure out how to solve this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yu set a time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>J Kidd nodded. He even came over and hugged Chen Yu, thanking him for listening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s no problem,\" Chen Yu said with a smile as he saw J Kidd to the door. \"If you ever need to talk, feel free to come find me anytime.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Chen Yu opened the door, Brian happened to be walking in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Brian, J Kidd’s expression flickered. He gave a quick nod of acknowledgment and then hurried away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just Clifford left, right?\" Brian asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yu nodded. He had intentionally saved Robinson for last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brian sat down, his expression serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yu tidied away the candy and the small potted plant from his desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, Robinson pushed the door open and came in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was slightly taken aback to see Brian but didn’t seem to mind. He sat right down and asked with a wide, goofy grin, \"Chen, I don’t have anything to talk about. Let’s just sit for five minutes, yeah?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The players before him had all been in and out in five minutes, so he wasn’t worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yu’s smile vanished. \"Clifford, I’m sorry, but you and I are going to have a talk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robinson’s grin froze on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Fifteen minutes later.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chen, do you think he’ll change?\" Brian asked as they stood in the doorway, watching Robinson walk off into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’How should I know?’ Chen Yu thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’People who get involved with weed have poor self-control. Who the hell knows if you can trust a word they say?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brian’s face was a mask of frustration. \"Sometimes, I really just want to trade them all away and be done with it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s Hardaway, always injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>J Kidd, Mr. Nice Guy himself, has gotten into a mess of his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then there’s Robinson. All three of the team’s core players have problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’With things like this, maybe we should just trade them all and rebuild,’ he muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yu chuckled. \"What’s the matter? Frustrated? We could have a chat about it. Don’t worry, it’s on the house.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brian visibly shivered and quickly shook his head. \"Don’t even joke about it. I’m fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he walked off quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At five in the evening, Chen Yu arrived at the arena again to prepare for that night’s game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In reality, there wasn’t much to prepare for. It was just one ordinary game out of the 82-game regular season.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The team was like a precision machine, running smoothly. Chen Yu didn’t need to do much—just stick to the routine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the pre-game warm-ups, Chen Yu sat on the sidelines, quietly observing everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The morning’s conversations seemed to have had some effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, with Dudley out, Charalidis was set to start. He was on the court with Jon Hamm, constantly practicing his low-post moves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then there was J Kidd, who was, surprisingly, practicing his shooting with uncharacteristic focus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yu had seen the internal stats. He knew that despite being a two-time assists leader, J Kidd’s shooting was atrocious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His scoring average wasn’t bad—he could put up over 15 points a game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a look at his shot chart told the real story: his makes were almost exclusively at the rim. He scored by driving to the basket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was from 3 to 10 feet or from the long two-point range of 10 to 16 feet, his field goal percentage was a paltry thirty-odd percent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was probably his biggest weakness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Nelson, who was sitting next to Chen Yu silently taking notes, found it strange. \"Why is Jason working on his shot all of a sudden?\" he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>J Kidd had been in the league for six years, but he’d never developed a reliable jumper before. It was partly due to a lack of natural talent for it, and partly because he himself felt it wasn’t a problem—he could just focus on his assists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rarely practiced shooting with the team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But today, for some unknown reason, he’d had a change of heart and was proactively working on it.\u003C\u002Fp>",1090,"2026-06-06T03:40:36.308Z",1,"novelbin.me","254923ded40f10fe27567cba0ed99c4be29a0ed1afef23feacd04541c525a007","sports-medicine-master-system-chapter-83","sports-medicine-master-system-chapter-81",353,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsports-medicine-master-system-cover.jpg"]
