NBA: The best team doctor in history

Chapter 109: Pierce, you are pulling your pants into your pocket!

"No problem. The electronic version of the contract has been sent to your email. Can you just come to Los Angeles to meet up? All food, lodging and travel expenses will be reimbursed."

Angie's assistant replied almost immediately, it seemed like he had been prepared for it.

"OK."

Jiang Ming didn't expect Kaizi to have such high expectations of him. Is it really that magical?
I opened the electronic contract and took a quick look. Everything was clearly written. The money was still paid per game, with no limit on the number of people, but Jiang Ming had to lead the team, and the maximum number of physiotherapy people was written as 7.

And it is not limited to post-match physical therapy, which means that whether Jiang Ming takes a shot after the game depends entirely on his mood. It is mainly physical therapy before and during the game.

"No problem."

"Okay, we can sign after we get to Los Angeles. I look forward to Director Jiang's arrival. We will definitely create brilliance together."

"No, I'm just hired, my main team is still the Trail Blazers."

"Hahahahaha, okay! Thank you!"

This makes me feel like I'm on the field.

Jiang Ming scratched his head. Could he really influence the trend of the game like this?
Others are mercenaries, and he is a hired doctor!

Does this mean you think you are the best hired doctor?
Maybe he doesn't think it's magical, but the Celtics think Jiang Ming is a god.

When Jiang Ming and Fang Xiaotong arrived at the airport to wait for the flight, Jiang Ming specifically looked through some news analysis of the Celtics' season in order to prepare in advance. Only then did he understand why they were looking forward to his arrival so much.

The Celtics are really trying their best for this long-awaited 17th championship trophy.

From the formation of the Big Three at the beginning of the season, it was clear that Ainge was going to do something big.
It's just that all three players are already 30 years old, and except for Garnett who has an MVP, the rest of them have not achieved very good results.

It can also be said that the three of them only wanted to win the championship, otherwise how could they stick together like this.

The Celtics' newly formed lineup also showed strong capabilities, and the Celtics' record at the beginning of the regular season was disappointing.

Although they won the opening game, their performance was average. They only won the game by relying on the strong superstar effect. But they were defeated by the Trail Blazers later.

As the game progressed, the team's unexpected coordination got better and better.

One has to admire Danny Ainge's sharp vision, and the team's various cooperation has been played out.

During the regular season, the three of them seemed to be meant to play on the same team and had the same level of tacit understanding.

This gave the entire Celtics management team hope and the championship!
In this year's regular season, the Celtics ranked first in the Eastern Conference with a team record of 66 wins and 16 losses, and also first in the entire league, embarking on the playoff journey early!
But the good times didn't last long. The Celtics, who had the Big Three, performed poorly in the playoffs.

In the first round, they met Al Horford and Hawks King Joe Johnson in their rookie season, who caused a lot of trouble for the Celtics.

This was something no one had expected. Although the Hawks team that year was also full of strong teams, they were still a little immature compared to the Celtics' Big Three at their peak!

In fact, the Celtics' coordination was not very good in these games, but they kept getting better and better, and they kept improving in the game. It's terrifying!

In the end, the Hawks lost to the Celtics with a score of 3:4. In the second round, the Celtics faced the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are fourth in the Eastern Conference and have the Little Emperor!
The Cavaliers not only have LeBron James, but also All-Star center Ben Wallace. In the first game, James was limited to 11.1% shooting and only scored 12 points, but under the leadership of Ilgauskas and Szczerbiak, the team still fought back and forth with the Celtics!

In the end, the Celtics beat the Cavaliers 76-72 with two points from Kevin Garnett. In the second game, LeBron James seemed to have found his scoring touch, and the two older players in the team were also very powerful, but in the end they still lost to the Celtics who played well.

The score was 2:0 at the Cavaliers' home court. The Celtics tried their best to win this game, but Delonte West and James played well at the same time and scored 21 points to easily win the third game.

In the fourth game, the Celtics played poorly as a team. They did not lead in any of the four quarters and eventually lost the game.

The Celtics have entered the decisive game for two consecutive rounds! The Big Three who returned to their home court seemed to have found the key to winning again and won at home. In this game, James scored 35 points and 57% of the true shooting rate, which was extraordinary, but it was difficult to reverse the defeat!

In the sixth game back at the Cavaliers' home court, LeBron James won another victory at home, the score was 3:3, and the seventh game began!
The little emperor LeBron James played exceptionally well and scored 45 points, but Pierce disagreed and scored 41 points alone, making 23 of 13 shots and winning the game with a true shooting percentage of 72.5%!
Send the growing James home!

"No wonder LeBron hates the Celtics so much." Jiang Ming wondered if the Little Emperor would also stick together like this in a few years. He probably also wanted two such outstanding helpers.

After two rounds of seven-game series, the Celtics finally entered the Eastern Conference Finals!

They were facing the Detroit Pistons, and it was a pure defensive battle.

The Celtics won the first game 88-79 thanks to Kevin Garnett's outstanding performance.

In the second game, the Celtics' performance was still impressive. Three 20-point performances were thought to win the game, but the Pistons all broke out, six players scored in double digits, and they eventually lost the game 97-103.

This was also the Celtics' first home loss in the playoffs. In the post-game interview, Garnett said they felt a crisis.

Yan Bi and his team all worked hard to win the championship. In games G3 and G4, the Celtics and Pistons won one game respectively, and the game came to the decisive battle again.

It's as if this team has magic. There is always a certain gap between them and their opponents, yet there is no gap at all. Neutral fans are having a blast watching the game, but I guess Celtics fans are nervous after every game.

In the decisive game, Garnett scored 33 points like crazy and won the game!
When Game 6 came, Billups scored 26 points alone, and Hamilton was not to be outdone and also scored 25 points.

But the Wolf King Garnett didn't seem to want to lose the game so easily. When the opponent was catching up, he stood up and made four free throws in two consecutive fouls to stabilize the morale of the team.

However, because the hole dug by the other party was too big, he was ultimately unable to catch up!

The score of Game 4 was tied around 5- points until the last five minutes, when Pierce scored two points to give the Celtics a two-point lead.

But soon Rasheed Wallace made a two-point shot to get back to the same starting line. After Kevin Garnett and Rondo scored two more points, the score difference came to seven points!
Billups made a layup and scored 2+1, and the score was narrowed again. But at this time, the Pistons seemed to have some communication errors and kept trying three-pointers. But they kept missing, and finally the Pistons lost the life-and-death battle!
Next up is the game against the Lakers.

和湖人次轮4-1，西决4-2相比绿军明显消耗过大，但是第一场还是咬了下来，科比30+4+8难抵败局。

But they were not so lucky in the second game. News showed that Pierce and Ray Allen left the field in turn for treatment. Big baby Davis suffered a lumbar muscle strain and could not continue the game, which also led to Pierce making 14 of 2 shots and Kobe 36+7 to pull back the game!

That's why Angie called him yesterday.

After being defeated by the Purple and Gold at home, one can imagine how big the risk will be for the Celtics in their next two road trips. This is the Lakers, the king of the new century.

If they continue like this, the Lakers will definitely win the championship in the showdown between the two giants, because the Lakers have a younger lineup and the Celtics are already full of problems.

This problem refers to a real problem, because Angie's assistant also sent Jiang Ming a list of injuries, ranging from minor groin and finger contusions to major knee wear and tear. Everyone on the roster is injured.

There is no way. The Celtics are a team that excels in defense. Every game is testing their bodies and willpower. By the time of the finals, they were indeed a little exhausted.

So it’s not easy for Jiang Ming to be a hired doctor.

But it has to be said that Chinese medicine is really amazing in conditioning and has unique advantages in sports medicine.

Because Garnett was in the best condition with the continuous benefits of Jiang Ming's plasters and traditional Chinese medicine, he didn't even wear knee pads in G1 and G2 of the finals in order to perform perfectly, and fought hard with the Lakers.

Under such circumstances, he performed at an average level in every game and never let down his team. Originally, others would not necessarily think of Jiang Ming in this way.

But unfortunately, the smell of traditional Chinese medicine on his body is too strong every day.

Since the playoffs, I have been wearing plasters on various parts of my body almost every day, and I have also increased the amount of Chinese medicine I take from twice a day to three times a day, drinking it in the locker room and on the plane.
Moreover, he has now purchased a set of air cupping equipment from Jiang Ming. Black circles are visible on his back and arms with the naked eye, and he mentions the magic of traditional Chinese medicine from time to time.

Angie, who was not brainwashed at first, was gradually brainwashed.

In their eyes, Jiang Ming is a mysterious sorcerer from the East who can keep all members of the Celtics healthy!

Indeed, in the first away game of G3, Jiang Ming performed bone setting and acupuncture on the pain points of all the Celtics players before the game, and gave massage and moxibustion to the main players during the half-time break to relax.

Directly defeated the Lakers 128:103.

Leading 2-1!

According to the Zen master:
"Everyone in the Celtics looks radiant. It's really scary that everyone is a soldier. We will limit them in the next game!"

Indeed, everyone was on the move, with seven players scoring in double digits. When seven players scored in double digits on a stage like the finals, it represented more than just personal ability.

It also represents the start of team basketball. Coach Rivers stood up straight after the game.

After all, most of the credit for the previous victories had nothing to do with him. In superstar basketball, most of the credit goes to the three superstars. Even O'Neal said that even my grandmother could lead the Celtics to the finals.

And tonight all the players exploded, with a total of 28 assists due to his tactical contribution.

Of course, Jiang Ming’s contribution is also indispensable.

In fact, Los Angeles discovered before the game that the team doctor of the first-round opponent came to Los Angeles?

At first I thought he was here to watch the game, but he went straight to the visiting team's medical room wearing his Celtics staff ID?

He was stunned when he met the familiar Lakers staff member again.

"Bro, why are you here? This is the Celtics. You, the Trail Blazers, were eliminated long ago." Jiang understood him and showed his work ID.

"I was invited here, so what?"

So the news that he was the temporary team doctor for the Celtics spread like wildfire. After the game, knowing that this matter would ferment, head coach Rivers simply said it clearly:

"We also want to thank Director Jiang Ming of the Trail Blazers for providing physical therapy to our players. He is indeed a good doctor!"

This time Jiang Ming’s contribution is huge.

The comments below are all:

"Fuck! The Green Army and the pioneers are a family!"

"Tai Huang, from today on we are a family!"

"Dr. Jiang, come and help! I was wondering why Pierce could dunk with the ball today!"

"Ray Allen, who once participated in the dunk contest, flew up and dunked one!"

"Big Baby Davis also blocked a shot by spring man Shannon Brown. It was explosive."

“Traditional Chinese medicine therapy is awesome!”

"The Lakers are confused. Why didn't you invite them? Didn't you see how tired Kobe is?"

"Too cool! The Green Army actually invited Jiang Ming!"

"On the influence of a team doctor on the team's victory or defeat!"

"I, an old Trail Blazers fan, am moved to tears. Our team doctor can actually be asked to leave. Love it!"

"No wonder the Trail Blazers renewed Jiang Ming's contract so quickly. They were probably afraid that he would be poached by the Celtics."

"Yeah, Boston has money, too!"

"The balance of victory now belongs to the Green Army!"

"Is this legal? @DavidStern!"

Lakers fans also jumped out to question the league:

"Isn't this unfair? Increasing the number of team doctors during the finals."

"Yeah, can we call someone from other team medical teams?"

David Stern's response was simple:
"The health of the players always comes first. The Lakers can also invite other doctors to diagnose and treat the players. Our league will not interfere with these."

What I mean is that they are treating the players, not taking stimulants or playing the game themselves. Why are you worrying about it? You can also hire someone else!
But the Lakers really can't invite him and there is no way to do so.

On the one hand, the Lakers' own team of doctors is already the best in physical therapy, and if they hire another team doctor for sports therapy, the only one they can hire is a traditional Chinese medicine therapist. But who in the world can compare to Jiang Ming?
They can’t find any old Chinese doctors because they don’t understand China.

There is no need to invite doctors from California and New York, as they only treat serious illnesses. If this situation really happens, it would be even more unfortunate, as we would not be able to play in the finals at all.

On the other hand, the only Western doctor who is better than them in physical therapy is the Sun God Doctor.

But unfortunately, Dr. Thomas Carter never goes out and is only active in Phoenix. After all, it is rumored that he is a NASA big shot and needs to be watched from time to time. Therefore, they could only watch Jiang Ming continue to give physical therapy to the Green Army players in the Celtics' infirmary in Game 4.

Lakers President Kupchak got angry when he met Ainge:
"You guys have no moral principles, can you be a little fair?"

Angie was so happy that she spread her hands out in a provocative manner:

"Isn't it fair? Everyone plays in good health."

"Fxxk!"

Kupchak naturally knew how boastful Jiang Ming was. This time he only brought one employee. If all five members of their team came, wouldn't the Celtics be able to fully recover their physical strength in every second half?
So he called Sean, Robert, Baldy, and Jiang Muyan to ask if they were willing to come, and also wanted to split Jiang Ming's team. As a result, they all refused, and the reason for their refusal was also very simple:
"There are some things that only our director knows. Sorry."

Then the team members who knew the news called Jiang Ming and asked if he wanted help. Jiang Ming said:
"Take your time and play. The Celtics' win or loss has nothing to do with us. Don't worry, I'm taking it easy."

However, he seemed to have encountered a relatively tricky problem in G4.

In the third quarter of the game, Pierce was knocked down by Kobe during a defensive round. He lay on the ground for a long time and was unable to get up. He kept covering his right leg with a very painful expression.

This gave the team's medical team a scare.

Afterwards, Pierce was carried to the player tunnel by his teammates and returned to the locker room in a wheelchair under the arrangement of the Celtics' chief team doctor.

The star player was injured and left the game, which was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Celtics.

When he was transported to the visiting team's medical room, Jiang Ming happened to be watching the replay of Pierce's injury. He was puzzled as it was impossible for him to be injured with that action.

The main reason is that Pierce is a floor player regardless of offense or defense. With his heavy tank physique, it is unlikely that he will have to sit in a wheelchair. The injuries of fat-muscled players will not be too serious.

It seemed like Pierce fell to the ground on purpose, and why was there a yellow mark on Pierce's area after he got up?
Sure enough, after arriving at the infirmary, Pierce couldn't help but stand up in front of everyone, holding his stomach. Tony Allen, who sent him over, was surprised:
"It's a medical miracle, Doctor Jiang, can you cure him just by looking at him?"

Pierce paced back and forth, answering some questions asked by the chief while touching his knees, but his eyes were looking around, and he looked very conflicted at the number of people in the infirmary.

Seeing this, Jiang Ming asked Fang Xiaotong and others to go out. Fang Xiaotong inadvertently covered her nose, wondering why there was a stinky smell.

After Jiang Ming, the Celtics' chief team doctor, and Pierce were the only three people left in the infirmary, Jiang Ming directly said:
"Okay, Zhenli, stop pretending. Did you poop in your pants pocket? Go to the toilet and poop it out first."

"Okay! But how did you know? Can you help me go in a wheelchair?"

Pierce nodded repeatedly and said embarrassedly.

"Replay what you saw, have you pulled it out a little bit?" (Illustration)

"Well," Pierce said with an embarrassed expression.

The chief team doctor next to him wanted to scold him: "Damn it! I was wondering why there was a smell along the way! Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Chief, please help him go."

Jiang Ming stepped back to avoid him. The kid's diarrhea was so smelly, and it was obvious that he had already defecated, otherwise he wouldn't need a wheelchair. The chief team doctor could only do this kind of thing himself. He couldn't let Jiang Ming, who was invited to do it, right?

So he had to put Pierce in the wheelchair again and pretend to groan all the way to the bathroom.

The reason why Pierce had to hold the wheelchair, or why he had to pretend to cover his knees when leaving the court, was because going to the bathroom in the locker room is not allowed during NBA games. Going to the bathroom is only allowed during halftime.

Therefore, his sudden diarrhea could only be solved by pretending to be injured and going back and forth to the locker room.

If the game can be paused when a player on the field wants to go to the toilet, then a lot of players will definitely use this to delay the game time, and they can even use this little trick to get rest and pause time.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Ming saw through it at a glance, but Jiang Ming chose to help him conceal it when there were so many people around. This made Pierce want to transfer hundreds of thousands of dollars to Jiang Ming while he was in the bathroom. He was so grateful.

This doctor is awesome!

If Jiang Ming said such an embarrassing thing on the spot, regardless of whether the game was won or lost, his departure would definitely become the fodder for Lakers fans to laugh at him, the kind that would make them laugh for the rest of their lives.

Four minutes later, Pierce returned to the infirmary with a happy look on his face, and immediately thanked Jiang Ming:
"Thank you Director Jiang. You can tell that I had an urgent physiological problem during the game. I needed to go to the bathroom."

"Then you shouldn't call for a wheelchair. Everyone thought you were seriously injured. The team needs you now." The chief team doctor was speechless. It would be better for him to just walk off the field instead of calling for a wheelchair.

How will they explain this after the game?

Pierce can't explain it!

Who can endure this situation?

He had already pooped a little in his crotch while on the court and had to call for a wheelchair so he could sit on it to hide his embarrassment.

But Tony Allen seemed to have noticed something, and he had a weird expression when he was holding Pierce. (Illustration)

Jiang Ming also said helplessly:

"Forget it, diarrhea is human nature. Now we can only pretend to do it and let him perform the drama of the king's return!"
