NBA: The best team doctor in history

Chapter 116: A tough problem, the answer to the future forward line of the Chinese men's basketball team
"Well, we didn't dare to disturb you at that time. Besides, we asked many teams, but none of them could help him return to the Olympics. Next, we will find a hospital to perform surgery after he calms down, and then terminate the contract and let the child live a normal life."

Zhang Mingji also expressed his helplessness after receiving Jiang Ming's call.

It was such an honor for the CBA star signed by Yao's team to enter the Olympic selection team.

But this sudden illness was really an illness, not an injury, and it left them at a loss for a moment.

In fact, Zhang Mingji thought of Jiang Ming first at that time, and Yao Yi, who had just arrived at the men's basketball training team, also recommended Jiang Ming to the men's basketball team's medical team at that time.

But at that time Jiang Ming was a mercenary doctor for the Celtics, so they didn't bother him. But now Jiang Ming saw it himself.

"What termination of contract? What normal life? Tell me the details!!!"

Jiang Ming naturally knew what these words meant to a 19-year-old child, and each word was a devastating blow!
Seeing Jiang Ming so serious, Zhang Mingji quickly told him about Xu Yong's medical condition.

Xu Yong was then taken to the orthopedics department of the People's Liberation Army General Hospital for a definitive diagnosis through physical examination, imaging examination, and histopathological examination.

Results revealed a hard mass with radiographic features of osteolytic sarcoma with scattered calcified plaques, and the tumor was compressing the spinal cord and nervous system.

The attending physician also said that the main treatment is surgical resection, and chemotherapy is needed after surgery to completely eliminate the residual tumor cells in the body and reduce the chance of recurrence.

In other words, surgery is definitely necessary.

"Hiss, is it pressing on a nerve?"

Jiang Ming certainly knew this hospital. Besides Union Hospital, it was the Military Region General Hospital. If it had come to this, it meant one thing:

Found out too late!
This hard lump is definitely palpable from the outside, and it is estimated that Xu Yong sought treatment only because he felt the pain himself.

Because the corresponding clinical symptoms will only occur when the tumor compresses the spinal cord or nervous system, no clues can be found before this except through physical examination.

If it is more serious, the patient may become paralyzed directly, but most patients just feel pain which develops slowly.

Xu Yong must be in so much pain now that he can't even play basketball and his body is deformed.

"Yes, we also went to the Dongli Hospital where you worked before. You can say we went to six hospitals in the imperial capital, but none of them could do anything for his illness."

What Zhang Mingji meant by being powerless here was that he could recover and continue to play. After all, with this disease, he couldn't count on participating in the Olympics in a month, but he really didn't want his career to end.

Be it Xu Yong himself, his family, or everyone around him, including Jiang Ming, no one wants to see the fall of a genius.

Mainly for his family, Xu Yong has been nurtured since he was a child. Both his parents are basketball players. If he really can't play basketball anymore, what else can he do in his life?
Everything has to start all over again!
But Jiang Ming also knew that what Zhang Mingji said was true. Malignant central osteosarcoma of the spine is a highly malignant tumor that grows rapidly, is highly invasive, and is often accompanied by extensive vascularization, making surgical resection difficult and prone to local spread and distant metastasis.

In addition, the tumor is insensitive to traditional radiotherapy and chemotherapy, so it is difficult to completely eliminate the cells using existing treatments, making the disease difficult to cure.

"Can I come and see how he's doing?"

"Of course, we haven't gone for surgery yet. We are resting."

"Okay, send me the address and I'll come over tomorrow."

Jiang Ming glanced at the two girls who were dozing off in their windbreakers and said.

"Director Jiang, it would be great if you could come over. I'll send it to you right away."

Jiang Ming gently woke them up and talked about Xu Yong along the way:

"Come and live."

Although malignant central osteosarcoma of the spine is usually difficult to cure, early diagnosis and treatment can improve the prognosis.

For patients with mild symptoms or no symptoms, regular check-ups can be considered to monitor changes in the condition and avoid strenuous exercise to reduce the burden on the spine.

So Jiang Ming felt that there was still hope. After all, he was only 19 years old. Early detection and timely intervention might still give him hope of playing on the court. He also knew why Zhang Mingji's team had not chosen surgery yet, because they were still hoping that there would be a way to be able to play after the surgery.

I guess his condition isn't serious enough for him to be bedridden and motionless.

"Then I will go down the mountain and ask our people in Dongli what his condition is and which doctor he is seeing." Fang Xiaotong said quickly.

"Well, we need to find a relevant doctor to find out. This will save time."

In fact, Jiang Ming's thoughts were even more exaggerated. If possible, he would like to just use conservative treatment to allow him to play in the Olympics.

Because this is the strongest backcourt of the men's basketball team and the biggest hope!!

No matter how much NBA you watch, it is not as comfortable as watching players from your own country. The moon is brighter in your hometown, and the root culture of the Chinese people will never change.

Just like how the Chinese national team’s matches are always packed even though the national football team is so bad, the fans’ expectations for Chinese players will never change.

Fang Xiaotong, who did not choose to take the cable car and continued to climb down from Tianmen Mountain Villa, wiped the sweat off her face and asked:

"Is he that good? Can he play in the NBA?"

"You can definitely keep going like this!"

Jiang Ming was actually a little anxious. The reason why he valued Xu Yong so much was not just because he had seen him in the news a few years ago.

The direct reason is that McGowan also mentioned China's future stars at this draft.

McGowan, who has watched thousands of rookies, said that Xu Yong, who will be 20 years old next year, will definitely be selected. If he didn't have this disease, Xu Yong, who is 2.03 meters tall, might become the best forward-guard swingman in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team.

Apart from Xu Yong, McGowan did not mention other players. In his eyes, Chen Jianghua, Wang Shipeng, Zhou Peng, and the younger Guo Ailun, who are considered very powerful by domestic fans, are just like playing house.

Any player he can mention must be good.

So Jiang Ming went to find out about it at that time.

As expected, I found out that he was selected for this year's Olympic selection team at the age of 19. It is very likely that he will make his Olympic debut with Yao Yi. A legend is about to begin!
The main reason is that apart from his black-like talent, he is not a graduate of youth training, so this further determines that his ceiling will not be low.

Because Jiang Ming also knows that the training level in the country limits the players' imagination. Xu Yong is different. He plays like a pure American forward. He can control the ball, pass the ball, dunk and make three-pointers!
In 2005, his parents took him, who was 2 meters tall, to a high school in the United States.

In the United States, Xu Yong participated in the Adidas training camp and won the MVP and Slam Dunk King.

At that time, Russell, the Lord of the Rings, commented on him, saying that his physical fitness was comparable to Francis. (Picture)

This year, Xu Yong began to make a name for himself.

It was at that time that Jiang Ming saw the news about him, because it was on the front page of Sina Weibo:
He was invited to the Nike training camp, selected by the Adidas training camp, and even his name is on the list of the NBA's "Basketball Without Borders" training camp to be held early next month - this wind-chasing boy is from Shanghai, and is a main player of the U16 national team at only 3 years and 18 months old.

也就是2005年，徐咏以16岁的低龄越级进入U18国家队，当即成为了绝对主力，在世青赛上场均得到15.8分3.8篮板2.1助攻。

After hearing all this, Jiang Muyan suddenly realized and finally understood Jiang Ming:
"No wonder you were so active the first time and took the initiative to treat people."

"Yes, I will try no matter how difficult it is!"
