NBA: The best team doctor in history

Chapter 115: Xu Yong's Sorrow

Jiang Ming handed over the vehicle registration and other matters to them in one go. After all, he would be returning to China tomorrow, so he could just spend some money and have someone run errands for him to take care of these troublesome matters.

It’s a good thing I bought it in advance. Those Americans are all procrastinators and they can’t get the car for several months.

After buying the car, Jiang Ming sent a message to the Trail Blazers work group:

"I'm back home, officially on vacation, call me if you need anything~~~"

Then a bunch of people responded by asking Jiang Ming to have a good rest, go play quickly, have a good vacation, etc.
Oden and Roy, who are currently participating in the selection of players for the US Dream Team, also sent messages, which shows how high Jiang Ming's status and cohesion are in the team.

After 1 days.

imperial capital.

Fang Xiaotong picked up Jiang Ming in a Beetle sedan. Jiang Ming knew that his parents definitely didn't have time to come, so he didn't tell them.

Tell them they can't come to the airport either.

But Fang Xiaotong had already asked for the time, waited an hour in advance, and bought a bouquet of flowers, with a full sense of ceremony:
"Welcome back home!"

"Well, I'm just an ordinary doctor. I don't need such high salary."

Jiang Ming smiled and hugged Fang Xiaotong, then sat in the passenger seat.

The first stop is naturally Quanjude Roast Duck!

After being abroad for so long, all you miss is this piece of cake!

Mainly in the United States, you can’t even buy the old capital chicken roll!

Jiang Ming didn't even need to wear sunglasses or anything, he just walked into the hall and ordered his food.

Jiang Ming thought that there were obviously only a handful of people in China who knew him. After all, he was only a semi-public figure. Not many people knew the Trail Blazers players, let alone a team doctor like Jiang Ming.

But there are still a few people who would come over and talk to him.

This is quite good, as it makes it convenient for Jiang Ming to travel around. Those who know him are die-hard fans of the Trail Blazers or doctors in the medical field. If they come to him to ask for autographs or take photos with him, Jiang Ming will gladly agree.

The next few days were just the normal "Guide for Returning to China for International Students."

We ate roast duck, copper stove hotpot, meat buns for breakfast and drank soy milk, and then invited the younger classmates who had helped us to have dinner together in the evening.

After that, he finally called out his parents and Fang Xiaotong's brother, Fang Xiaofeng, who was also his director during his internship. The few of them had a very happy chat at the dinner. Fang Xiaotong laughed and said that all the people at the table were the leading directors of various departments, and it was difficult to put together such a dinner in the entire imperial capital.

Jiang Ming also wanted to invite President Liyang, who had been supplying him with medicinal materials. She was the owner of Zhentian International Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and was said to be a genius in drug development. She was a young woman, so Jiang Ming really wanted to meet her.

The main reason is that the cost-effectiveness of her medicinal materials is so high that they have become the supplier of Portland's team medical team. Although the two sides have never met each other, they have been cooperating based on the trust accumulated from the medicinal materials.

However, the pharmaceutical company said that she went to the United States to study, which meant that the two of them missed each other, so Jiang Ming did not treat her to dinner.

Li Yang finally had time to cook a meal for Jiang Ming, including braised pork, minced pork with eggplant, and spicy and sour shredded potatoes, Jiang Ming's three favorite dishes. The family got together and talked about their respective professional matters.

Jiang Ming also provided a one-stop treatment for Jiang Yu's rheumatoid arthritis in his wrist. This time, Jiang Yu had no doubts about his son and obediently "complied".

"I use this hand to hit the electric drill with a bone hammer every day, and my wrist hurts a lot."

"Hey, how about we switch jobs? As a team doctor, I rarely get to use an electric drill, so I don't have many difficult and complicated cases to deal with, haha."

Jiang Ming smiled as he gave his father moxibustion on his wrist.

"Nonsense, the ligament surgery you performed on Blake was also difficult."

"Dad, please do fewer surgeries in the future and let the deputy directors do it."

Jiang Yu rolled his eyes at him and said, "If you come back, I'll let you do it."

What parent doesn't want their child to be at home? Although Jiang Ming looked more energetic this time, he was a little darker, which made Li Yang feel particularly distressed.

"I'm different from you guys. You guys work in the office every day, but I have to fly everywhere and train outdoors with them. This is a healthy tan, it's okay."

"That won't do either! Come, eat more braised pork and do the physical therapy slowly." After a brief period of family warmth, it was time for Jiang Ming to start his real vacation.

The next itinerary is to go to South Korea to play with Jiang Muyan, then go to Sanqing Mountain by myself to practice for a week, and then visit the Oriental Goddess, Monkey King Viewing Treasures and other refreshing attractions. It doesn’t matter whether I can get the inheritance again. The main thing is to thank this Taoist holy mountain.

As a result, Jiang Muyan was afraid that Jiang Ming would not have enough time, so she came directly to China to accompany Jiang Ming. Then Jiang Ming simply took her and Fang Xiaotong to Sanqing Mountain for a week of health preservation.

This week, all the injuries of the Taoist priests and nuns were healed, and the Sanqing Temple seems to be more popular.

When Jiang Ming came down the mountain on the last day, he took another look at the Giant Python Peak and the Oriental Goddess.

The two peaks looked mysterious and majestic under the light produced by the Tyndall effect. Jiang Ming bowed three times, took off his Taoist robes, and went down the mountain!!!
On the way down the mountain, he finally turned on his phone. During the break, he took a look and a message caught his attention:
"The Chinese men's basketball star has fallen! The most talented forward in the Olympic men's basketball team, 19-year-old Xu Yong, is about to retire due to injury!"

what's the situation?
Jiang Ming quickly clicked on it. He knew Xu Yong. He almost participated in the draft this year. If he participated next year, he would definitely be a first-round pick and a future star of China.

The next piece of news is:
"Xu Yong, the rising star of the Chinese men's basketball team who had just joined the training team, was diagnosed with "malignant central osteosarcoma of the spine""

"What the fuck?"

Jiang Ming's eyelids twitched when he saw the term "malignant central osteosarcoma of the spine".

Is it so scary?

Getting this disease at such a young age?

This malignant central osteosarcoma of the spine sounds like a difficult disease, and in fact it is a very difficult disease.

This disease is truly devastating when it occurs in athletes.

In ancient times, it was just GG.

It is completely impossible to cure it with traditional Chinese medicine.

Jiang Ming had heard this from his parents many times. This is one of the most difficult diseases in orthopedics. It is a primary malignant bone tumor that mainly originates from the body's own bone cells.

It often occurs in the metaphysis of the femur, tibia, and humerus.

In the early stages, bone tumors usually cause joint pain, lumps in the joints, and a high risk of fractures.

If osteosarcoma is in the late stage, it may metastasize to distant sites, requiring amputation or even being life-threatening.

The news said that Xu Yong's injury occurred in the spine. Then what movement does a basketball player make that doesn't use the spine?

Osteosarcoma often occurs in the limbs. The incidence of primary osteosarcoma occurring in the spine is very low, and its clinical characteristics are also different from those of the limbs.

And now that I've seen news that it's confirmed to have happened in the spine, that's even more troublesome.

Generally, patients with spinal osteosarcoma are older and often have symptoms of nerve damage when they are discovered because the nerves are near the tumor. It is a highly malignant tumor that is very difficult to treat and has a worse prognosis because it is often already in the late stage when it is discovered.

So Jiang Ming took a closer look at the news about Xu Yong's withdrawal from the national training team and his sudden illness.

"You guys take a break. I'll watch the news."

"Row."

The two girls, exhausted from the hike, simply lay down on the chairs and closed their eyes. Hiking down the Sanqing Mountain was beyond their physical endurance, so they didn't care what Jiang Ming was doing and just wanted to rest quickly.

Jiang Ming then realized that this was an announcement from Yao's team. Xu Yong was Yao Ming's agent and also a player under Jiang Ming's old friend Zhang Mingji.

In mid-May 2008, Xu Yong, a rising star of the Chinese men's basketball team who had just entered the training team, was diagnosed. This should be the earliest time the disease was discovered.

Then, Xu Yong's agent and head of Yao's team, Zhang Mingji, said the day before yesterday that Xu Yong's life was not in danger, but his basketball career would end.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ming directly called Zhang Mingji:
"Brother Zhang, why didn't you tell me when this happened!?"

PS: If Xu Yong was there in 08, I can’t believe how great the men’s basketball team would be~ He was only 19 years old.

He will only be 2018 years old by 29, which is enough time for the men's basketball team to use him for a long time. I feel it's a pity every time I think about it, alas!
