NBA: The best team doctor in history

Chapter 103: The youth storm blasts the Purple and Gold Army, and the seventh battle begins!

The reason why Kobe is Kobe is that superstar is superstar.

Tonight he saw it.

And he also knows why the Trail Blazers are always underestimated.

Even if the game was tied at 2-2, not many people thought the Trail Blazers could win the series.

This has nothing to do with the ball market.

Huang Mamba plays basketball vigorously and is humble, but he is too low-key. The defensive tricks he practiced were never used on the court.
Oden is currently only in the young emperor stage. His role on the court is limited to catching dunks and defending. His one-on-one ability is too lacking. It will probably take him a few more years to become a super center like O'Neal, Yao Ming, and Howard who can do everything in 1V1.

Anyway, in Jiang Ming's opinion, these two are the only ones who have superstar potential in the Trail Blazers, but there is still a long way to go. Roy does not have the spirit to lead everyone.

Oden is even less capable of leadership. He can only mess around in the interior and never pay attention to his teammates.

Unlike Kobe, although he doesn't pass the ball, he can quickly direct his teammates to grab rebounds, and he will directly scold his teammates if they are not active on the court. It feels like he dominates a team alone.

As for players with only one trick, such as Aldridge, Maggette and White Chocolate, they are role players who are the pieces of the championship puzzle.

At most, they are second or third in command, and they are completely powerless against the boss.

Currently, Aldridge can only shoot fadeaway jump shots with his back to the basket, and has no ability to shoot inside.

Maggette is a low-profile version of James, who can only attack with brute force.

Needless to say, Bai Qiao was a piece of the puzzle when the Heat won the 06 championship.

The substitutes can't be relied upon even more.

Robert was also amazed at the Black Mamba's strong mental strength. His unyielding spirit is something that the Trail Blazers players do not possess.

Jiang Ming nodded:

"Our team is in danger. No matter how good the physical therapy is, it can't beat the opponent's mental strength. Mental strength is endless."

"Yes, it is the most difficult to defend and the most difficult to win when playing with mental will, unless we can also beat the opponent in mental will."

Fang Xiaotong blinked and asked anxiously:

"What is spiritual power?"

Jiang Ming sighed and said:
"It's a power that can't be explained by science. Kobe was obviously exhausted at the end, his feet and knees were out of control, but he was still able to jump and dunk. There's no way to explain it."

"So far, none of our players are in this state. Every time we fall behind, we get mentally confused first."

"Just say leader!"

"That's not what I meant. A leader is a leader. The power of spirit is amazing. Just like the recent news, a child was crushed by a van, and his mother miraculously overturned the van by herself. Then the reporter asked her to try again, but she couldn't do it again, even five or six big men couldn't do it."

Fang Xiaotong had some realization after hearing this case:
"Yes, there are many such examples. Now that you put it that way, I understand. There are also many such miracles in medicine. I once met a patient whose legs were paralyzed and he was in a wheelchair. But his first love came to see him, and he stood up subconsciously, and he got better."

"Hahahaha, yeah, the human body is still amazing. But our G6 won't be bad. Now it's just a matter of who has more home courts."

The Trail Blazers, who were defeated in the decisive game, did not slack off. Instead, they were determined to make a comeback in Game 6 in Larry Miller's chicken soup meeting.

why?
Because this time Larry Miller directly went to the conference room to call everyone from the ticket seller to the team doctor to the sweeper to come and cheer for the players!

Therefore, they also heard the coaching staff's tactics, but the coaching staff was not afraid of leaks.

We have played 5 games already, and both sides have already shown their cards, it just depends on how they play!

This time McMillan directly changed his tactics. He didn't play positional games with you, but just played transition games.

But because the players haven't practiced much, they can just use a simple sentence for now:

"If there's an open spot, just shoot and go for it, don't hesitate!"

This is the essence of the fast break and the way the Suns play, Coach Mustache's 8-second offense.

It is also suitable for pioneers.

After all, White Chocolate is no worse than Nash as an assist engine, and he likes it when he passes the ball.

"Don't worry, I won't let nine people get nervous when I pass the ball. Just run and wait for me to pass the ball to you."

Being watched and listened by so many people, the players also felt like they were fighting for the team and the city, and they all offered suggestions.

And fate seemed to favor the pioneers.

After the start of the first quarter of Game 6, the Trail Blazers directly adopted a run-and-gun tactic that would not let the opponent get out of position.

On the defensive end, one player would attack Kobe, while the other would always be on Kobe's side to prevent him from breaking through.

Anyway, I won't double-team you if you shoot. If you can, just shoot to death against me. After all, Kobe, you don't take that many three-point shots.

But I won't let you break through. Kobe's rich experience and superb skills will give him ten thousand ways to score after he enters the interior. So no matter he is fouled or he scores with various footwork or turns, the Trail Blazers don't want him to enter the interior.

So there are always three people guarding the side where Kobe holds the ball.

As the pace of the game increases, the chances of players getting injured also increase dramatically.

When White Chocolate came off the field, he said that his middle finger seemed to be dislocated.

Jiang Ming quickly rubbed and adjusted the bone and tied his middle finger and index finger together with a bandage to prevent secondary injury. This is actually not called a dislocation. Chinese basketball fans call it "eating radish strips". It is usually caused by bruising the finger when catching or passing the ball. It usually heals automatically in about a week.

If you want him to get better quickly, put him back in the correct position and don't move him, but you must not injure him again. If he is bruised again, it is very likely to be a fracture.

Now that Bai Qiao has advanced and needs to continue playing, Jiang Ming tied him up tightly.

"You can play with four fingers, but the feel will be affected. Try not to force the shot unless you are open."

"OK! It's okay, it's just a minor injury."

"It's just a minor injury. I want you to be careful so that it doesn't turn into a major injury."

After hearing this, the coaching staff felt more relieved and decided to use white chocolate as usual!

At the end of the first quarter, the second injury of the game occurred, but this time it was a Lakers player.

Bynum unfortunately stepped on his teammate Lamar Odom's foot while competing for a rebound, causing him to leave the court with a knee injury.

This departure makes the matter seem serious!

what's the situation?
He even needed his teammates to carry him away?

The replay showed that this obvious stepping on a teammate's foot made the visiting Kobe speechless with anger.

And there is a cause and effect. Before, Bynum was rebounded by Oden from behind. He was angry when such a rookie rebounded him. In this round, he felt the power behind him, so he jumped high. As a result, his teammates
Getting injured by stepping on a teammate when landing on him is the most tragic way to get injured.

Kobe Bryant covered his knee and sighed. If his season was over, it would be the worst news for the Lakers.

Because the Lakers' bench lineup is okay on the outside, but the inside really needs these two twin towers.

It will be difficult to play if one person is missing!
"I hope everything is OK." Larry Miller doesn't want the Lakers to have any injuries. Although it is very likely that they will win the game, who doesn't want both teams to play a series with all their players healthy?

So he immediately said to Jiang Ming who had already stood up:

"JIANG, come with me."

"Right on my mind."

As the home team doctor, Jiang Ming found that although the Lakers sent two team doctors to follow the team, they could provide temporary treatment at home.

But out of humanitarianism and regular season practice, he still took Robert to the medical room for observation.

Just like when he was sent by the Rockets to give simple treatment to the visiting team's Yi Jianlian, simple inquiries are still needed.

It turned out that Bynum, who was called the future No. 1 center, could not stand up and was lying on the medical bed groaning in pain.

The two Lakers team doctors sent here were not the chief team doctors. They had just finished a phone call with the chief and suspected that it was a problem with the knee bone. They directly told Jiang Ming where the nearest hospital was and that they would take him for an MRI.

"Maybe I need surgery?" Bynum was scared to death. He was most afraid of hearing that he needed to do an MRI, as the results would usually be bad.

"It's possible. We'll have to see an MRI to know."

The Lakers team doctor replied.

"Can I help take a look?"

Jiang Mingxian did not answer where he could do an MRI at this time, but asked.

"Okay, no problem!"

The Lakers almost unanimously said that no visiting player or team doctor would refuse a medical director to diagnose and treat a player.

Especially Bynum himself, he shouted very loudly. Who doesn’t know the fame of Dr. Jiang Ming?

The mysterious master of traditional Chinese medicine!
The two Lakers team doctors would not refuse. There is almost no competition among NBA team doctors. Everyone's goal is to help players succeed, just like the Trail Blazers' consultation with Oden before. They are all united to ensure that every team's players receive good care.

After all, this job is very secure once you get it. As I said before, the injuries of NBA players are few and simple compared to those of other medical professions, and it is rare for team doctors to be fired.

If it is during the regular season, the Lakers team doctor will not follow the team. He will only inform the home team's team doctor of the players' physical health conditions in advance, and then Jiang Ming or other Trail Blazers team doctors will provide temporary diagnosis and treatment for the visiting players here.

This is equivalent to a consultation. It doesn't matter who you treat. It's just that the playoffs are more sensitive to this.

For example, the home team doctor, will he cure the patient or not?

Should I delay it as long as possible or tell the truth?
Anyway, the Lakers definitely hope that Bynum can play immediately.

Jiang Ming knew it as soon as he touched Bynum's knee:
"It's not necessary to do an MRI, but I definitely can't play in this game."

"what?"

The two Lakers team doctors were skeptical. Who knows if Jiang Ming said this on purpose in order to help the Trail Blazers win?

"He has a dislocated left knee. Believe it or not, I can give him some simple treatment, but he definitely can't play in the game. You can decide whether to send him to the hospital for treatment or I can do it for him. It's up to you."

Jiang Ming mentioned two very normal options. Either you go to a large local hospital and take an X-ray or a consultation.

Or the home team doctor can give temporary treatment, and the player can do whatever he wants when he returns to his home court.

Dislocated left knee?

The two team doctors looked at each other. If this was true, it wasn't a big problem, but they really couldn't continue exercising.

To be on the safe side, they called their chief for consultation, and the result was a sentence from the other end of the phone:

"Of course we should treat Director Jiang Ming first! Are you idiots? I just told you to send him to the hospital for an MRI. The game was over by the time you sent him there and back. Are you still thinking about playing?"

The Lakers' chief still has some brains.

Indeed, if Jiang Ming had not said it, they would have taken several hours to send him to the hospital for an MRI according to the original instructions. Not to mention returning to the game, he would have returned to Los Angeles a day later than the other players.

It would be great if the visiting team's chief doctor is willing to treat the disease on the spot. Although this is not an internal medicine disease, there is also the saying of "golden hour". It is better to treat it early. As long as the doctor says it can be cured, he will never mess around with it. If he messes around with it, he will be making a fool of his profession as a doctor.

If Jiang Ming really wanted to help the Trail Blazers, the best way would be to just give up and then help call an ambulance to carry the patient away.

And
With Jiang Ming's medical skills, maybe he can cure the patient on the spot. He may not be able to play in this game, but at least he can play in the next one!

Because the Lakers' chief team doctor was watching the score, the Trail Blazers were leading by about 10 points and it was difficult to catch up.

If there really has to be a Game 7, Bynum must play in it!
Bynum had been looking forward to it for a long time. Everyone knew that Jiang Ming had cured the knees of Oden and Garnett. After hearing the chief's signal, he shouted:

"Come on, I'm ready!"

"You know what I'm going to do?"

"Bone setting! I've tried this Chinese medicine clinic in Los Angeles, and I didn't feel anything. But I believe yours will definitely feel something."

Bynum gritted his teeth, obviously his knee was hurting.

"Luckily you didn't break any bones, otherwise you would have to undergo surgery."

As soon as he finished speaking, when Bynum was about to speak, he heard a "click" sound.

Then Bynum's pig-slaughtering scream echoed throughout the medical room.

"Brother, please say something!"

Robert, who was used to hearing this, laughed:
"Didn't you say you were ready?"

Jiang Ming used his technique to confirm that his patellar dislocation did not lead to a fracture, and then immediately performed manual reduction. However, this is much more complicated than Yi Jianlian's shoulder dislocation, after all, it is in the position of the knee, so after the reduction, he said to the two Lakers doctors who were already dumbfounded:

"I will use a bandage to reposition the device first. After you go back, you can take X-rays and then use a plaster cast to immobilize the patient. The specific time of return will depend on your chief. This is all I can do."

If it was his own player, Jiang Ming would have put a plaster cast on him on the spot, but since this was a player from the visiting team, Jiang Ming knew when to stop.

After all, plastering theoretically requires a complete CT scan and three-dimensional reconstruction of the knee joint, so let Bynum go back to Los Angeles for another CT scan and further treatment.

If I have gotten everything done now, I will definitely be questioned. If I get it done well, it will be fine. But if I make a mistake and the Trail Blazers really lose in the playoffs, they will definitely use me as an excuse.

After all, he was not invited by the Lakers to consult with Bynum, nor did he get medical permission from any senior Lakers executives. Verbal permission would be fine, but it didn't happen. It seemed that Kupchak was waiting for him to make a mistake.

He could guess that if the Lakers lost and he put a cast on Bynum, there would definitely be reports in the Los Angeles news media saying that Dr. Jiang Ming made a fuss and treated Bynum as having a fracture and did not allow him to return to the game.
Because Jiang Ming knew that if he rushed to play with this injury, he might be able to play in G7!

Then he can't let the Lakers catch him.

So he performed the most stable method of reduction.

Robert secretly gave Jiang Ming a thumbs up, he was indeed thoughtful.

In fact, you can tell from the look in the Lakers team doctor's eyes. If Jiang Ming hadn't been the director, and had he suddenly bent Bynum's knee like that, given the temper of the doctors in Los Angeles, they would definitely have started scolding him.

His expression now is full of doubt. What is this?
Can you break it with your hands?

Not to mention letting Jiang Ming proceed to the next step. How can he put on a plaster cast without a CT scan?

What do you say?

Who believes it!
Western medicine definitely believes more in the high-end technology of medical equipment.

The main thing is that Bynum didn't magically stand up. Instead, after a while of relief and finally no longer feeling pain, he still couldn't stand up.

Jiang Ming finished tying the temporary bandage on him and said before leaving the medical room:

"If it hurts on the plane, apply ice. Your team doctor should know what to do next."

The two Lakers team doctors stepped forward and said, "Thank you, Director Jiang!"

Bynum shouted with some dissatisfaction:
"I want to apply that plaster, and drink that bitter Chinese medicine."

Robert interrupted him directly:

"It's not too late to buy it after your chief team doctor gives you the OK. I hope to see you in G7."

"You guys." The three Lakers players were impressed after seeing how flawlessly Jiang Ming's team had done their job. When did the Trail Blazers' veterinary team become so professional?

Although Bynum could not walk on his own, at least after being treated by Jiang Ming, he could limp forward by holding on to the team doctor's shoulder.

The three of them watched the game while sitting in the medical room. The youthful storm of the Trail Blazers blew away the Purple and Gold Army and played the most exciting and thrilling game of the series.

Because the last 2 minutes were 99:104.

Kobe made a difficult fadeaway jump shot over two players, then he drew a foul while holding the ball and made both free throws to close the gap to one point.

The Trail Blazers then missed shots one after another, and with the score difference at 2 points, Roy made a cold-blooded three-pointer with 24 seconds left at the buzzer to end the game.

Kobe Bryant's long 3-pointer hits the rim
It's totally thrilling!

107:103
The game with the closest score difference in the series!
It’s really time for a tiebreaker!
