NBA: The best team doctor in history

Chapter 128: The pride of the entire community! Chinese medicine can't perform surgery?
Jiang Ming could tell from their evasive gazes that there must be something wrong, but they were too embarrassed to say it.

"It's okay, just tell me, we are all friends, there is no need to be so secretive."

Jiang Ming smiled.

Zhang Mingji sighed:
"Isn't this because I'm afraid of disturbing your work in the national football team?"

Fagan also smiled awkwardly: "Yes, if your football team didn't invite you, we would definitely invite you."

"Tell me, has Yao Yi been injured recently?"

"You guessed it."

Yao and Yi's injuries are far more serious than what they say, but they are both strong-willed and refuse to admit defeat.

But the agent wants their future.

So they didn't say it during the meal just now, but the agents definitely had to say it.

"Mr. Fagan, please speak first. I just noticed that Yi Jianlian's injury seems to be not fully healed yet."

From Jiang Ming's observation, smell, questioning and palpation, the men's basketball players all looked very good, which meant that there was nothing wrong with their internal organs. However, their walking posture could not be easily seen because everyone was sitting down to eat.

But Yi Jianlian obviously felt something uncomfortable on his left side, and it seemed that his injury had not yet fully healed.

"I knew it couldn't escape the eyes of Dr. Jiang." Feigen hurried up to "report" the situation.

After Jiang Ming cured his dislocated right shoulder at the Rockets' home court, A-Lin suffered several injuries, both large and small.
On March 2008, 3, when he was playing for the Bucks against the Pacers, he sprained his left ankle. Before the injury healed, he was found to have an injury in his right wrist. As a result, the two minor injuries caused him to miss 2 games in a row.
On April 2008, 4, when he represented the Bucks in an away game against the Chicago Bulls, he strained the ligament in his left knee and had to rest for 2 consecutive games to end the final journey of the season.

At the Stankovic Cup that the national team participated in a month ago, Yi Jianlian sprained his left ankle and strained his left knee ligament, and has only recovered a little now.

According to Fegen, if he hadn't been using the Chinese medicine and plasters prescribed by Jiang Ming, one of the injuries might have resulted in the end of his season.

So now that Jiang Ming is in the Olympics, I want him to give me some personal treatment.

this.
Jiang Ming didn't know what to say after hearing this. In fact, after becoming the director of the medical department, he had also read Yi Jianlian's scouting report. When Yi Jianlian participated in the draft in 07, the Trail Blazers scouts labeled YI as a glass player.

Now it seems that what he said was correct, it is indeed a bit glassy.

"Okay, I'll go directly to his room tonight to give him physical therapy. It's a piece of cake."

"Thank you!!!" Feigen was grateful and burst into tears. What he wanted was Jiang Ming to do it personally. As long as Yi Jianlian stayed healthy, the diagnosis fee would be negotiable. The most important thing for an athlete is to play in the game. Wearing a suit all the time on the sidelines would be of no value.

After Zhang Mingji heard Feigen finish speaking, he briefly talked about Xu Yong's condition. He was recovering steadily and he could try to do sports rehabilitation exercises.

But there is no need to say more, because Xu Yong cannot play in the Olympics, so he just needs to focus on recovering from his injury. Zhang Mingji did not even mention Jiang Ming's promise to personally give him sports therapy, because the top priority now is not Xu Yong's matter, but the Olympics!
It’s mainly about Yao Ming’s current situation.

Compared to Fagan, as a Chinese agent, he hopes that all members of the national team are healthy and in the strongest condition to qualify for the group.

However, compared to Yi Jianlian, the older Yao Ming is in much better health.

None of his injuries this season will affect his future basketball career because they are all in the upper body.

As long as it’s not the lower body, it’s fine!
According to Zhang Mingji, it was mainly because Jiang Ming noticed that Yao Ming's right knee was swollen that he and his team, including the Rockets' medical staff, paid attention to it, but the Rockets' medical staff did not pay attention to it at first.

Later, as Jiang Ming became more and more successful, he became more and more concerned about Yao Ming's knee therapy.

This also caused Yao Ming's subsequent injuries to be all on his upper body. In January, his middle finger was injured when Randolph stabbed him against the Grizzlies. He then tied it together with his index finger and used a bandage to play on the court. He is still not fully healed.

Then in the semifinals of the playoffs, he faced the Lakers and suffered two eyebrow injuries with bleeding.

"They are all minor issues. I have been following the news about Yao Ming. In fact, he can no longer play so many games. He should reduce his playing time as much as possible. His training should also be reduced." Jiang Ming said to Zhang Mingji seriously.

Because when he was with the Rockets, Adelman fucked Yao Ming hard and made him play 40+ minutes many times, which was a huge drain on a giant like Yao Ming.

After joining the national training team, the Blue Shoes were not afraid of anything happening and let Yao Ming participate in all the warm-up matches, big and small.

Not only does this make it impossible to train young players, but it also prevents Yao Ming's body from recovering.

For a small four-nation competition like the Stankovic Cup, it would be enough for the young players of the national team to practice. Why let Yao Yi play?
Isn't it easy to get hurt?

"Yes, but we don't dare to lose in the warm-up matches, we can't afford to lose, so we have to let Yao play."

"Eh."

Jiang Ming didn't know what to say. He also knew that some things could not be changed by just him and Zhang Mingji's suggestions. It was true that everyone was under a lot of pressure during the Beijing Olympics.

On the bright side, Yao Yi and Sun Yue can also get to know the national team members better through the warm-up matches, increase their chemistry, etc.
Fortunately, Jonas is not as ruthless as Adelman, otherwise Yao Ming might also be in big trouble.

"Yao Ming can't play in the next training match, even if he wants to show off. The first priority is to get more rest. I will prescribe Chinese medicine for him to enhance his body's resilience."

"Okay! No need to act like a big shot. I've already thought of a reason. I'll just say that the Olympic Committee called me to come out and raise the flag at the rehearsal. Hehe."

"Sure, good reason!"

Since Yao Ming has been confirmed as the flag bearer of the Chinese Olympic delegation, this can really be used as a reason for him not to participate in the team training matches. Rest is the best option.

"As for the bride price."

When the two agents wanted to talk about money, Jiang Ming interrupted them:
"Let's talk about this later. I'm a fan of men's basketball!"

So after talking with the two agents this time, although Jiang Ming was not officially hired as the team doctor for the Chinese men's basketball team, it was almost the same.

For the men's basketball team, Jiang Ming really doesn't care about the medical fees. Feelings are priceless.

He also wants to see how far these players he has watched grow up can go in their peak generation!
The golden generation, the Olympics held at home, really makes him look forward to it!

And in fact, on the basketball side, he has to negotiate with a group of basketball team doctors behind the scenes.

Just like a silent battlefield, they are the superstars behind the players!

It’s not enough that Lisa is the team doctor for the US team, and Thomas Clanton was recently sent in. The configuration behind this can be described as top-notch luxury!

And they also have to play against the United States in the group stage, which is another battlefield in the game from the NBA to the Olympics.

Football must be a side income and an unfounded fantasy for Jiang Ming. He wants to see what the Chinese national football team will become after he reaches his best.
But after just a few days of contact, he discovered that external forces could not create illusions. Even if he could treat Wang Chu, Dong Fangzhuo and Chen Tao to the peak of their careers, he could not change much.

But basketball is his specialty, so it's easy for him to compete with other team doctors.

Moreover, Roy had contacted him a week ago, and he was selected for the roster even though he had no chance of entering the Olympics.

Because the Bucks star player Reed suddenly said he was ill and withdrew from the Dream Team, Roy was selected as his replacement.

Roy, who was familiar with the physical therapy received by Jiang Ming's team, naturally hoped that Jiang Ming would give him physical therapy at the Olympics.

But Jiang Ming politely refused and said, "Come back to me after the group stage. I won't help you now."

Just like Thomas Clanton would not help Rockets player Yao Ming, they were enemies in the group stage.

“I wish you a good performance.”

"I understand. It would be best if both our teams advance together and meet in the finals. Haha!"

Roy didn't care at all that Jiang Ming rejected him. Instead, he felt that this was the genius doctor Jiang he knew, the traditional Chinese medicine doctor who had fulfilled his mission and brought glory to the country!
If it weren't for Jiang Ming, he would probably still be recovering from his knee injury and wouldn't even be included in the substitute roster.

So this blessing is really powerful. Because if the two teams can really qualify and meet in the knockout round, then it will really be the third or fourth place or first or second place finals!
No matter which of the top four places we finish in, it will create history for the Chinese men's basketball team!
Therefore, Jiang Ming had already prepared to fight tough battles on both sides.

"Just understand. Just take it easy when playing against us. Don't let the lead of 50 points be too embarrassing." Jiang Ming finally joked with Roy.

"Don't worry, Director. If these superstars don't give me face, they will give you face. Kobe can only do cupping of other Chinese medicine practitioners. Even if he wins the opening game, he won't win by many points."

That evening, when Jiang Ming was performing acupuncture on Yi Jianlian's left ankle and left knee, the director of the Blue Tube Center, Gong Luming, came because he had heard about it.

The former meritorious coach of the men's basketball team personally brewed the best Pu'er tea for Jiang Ming. At first, he talked about family matters in a roundabout way. Even Yi Jianlian, who was lying down, could see his purpose.

Jiang Ming said directly:

"Don't worry, our men's basketball team will provide timely diagnosis and treatment, so just go out there and fight!"

How could Jiang Ming not know the purpose of his coming here?

When the name Gong Luming appeared, I knew what Lan Xie wanted to do.

Want extra points for favors!
After all, this big guy is the leader who understands basketball best and is the most popular among the people in the Blue Shoes. His success rate as a lobbyist is extremely high.

Gong Luming also smiled awkwardly:
"Forget it, I won't lie. With your words, our entire team will work together and will definitely make the men's basketball team go further!"

Yi Jianlian was also excited to go to Wukesong to practice basketball again:
"Even if my career is over after this Olympics, I will fight to the death on the court!"

Gong Luming also nodded and said:
"So Director Jiang, you can rest assured. We are really different from the football team. We are united and will definitely not let you down."

It’s a good thing Fang Xiaotong is not here.

If she were here, she would definitely say:
"If you want to get a freebie, just say so. Why go around in circles~"

But at least the one or two days before the Olympics were happy and relaxing.

The next day.

Jiang Ming, wearing a red and white Olympic torchbearer T-shirt with the torch and five-ring logo printed on it, was waiting for the handover on the road at the entrance of the community.

He was surrounded by staff and onlookers.

Everyone held up Apple iPhone 3G, BlackBerry, HTC, and Nokia to record all this beauty.

It has to be said that this is really an Olympics organized by the whole country. Everything is in good order and full of vitality. Everyone's face is filled with smiles, and Jiang Ming's parents are also there to "support" Jiang Ming:
"Come on Jiang Ming!"

"Don't be nervous, son!"

This has really made the community proud. Originally, many people didn't know that the NBA had such a Chinese team doctor, but now everyone knows about it after he became the torchbearer.

Jiang Ming held the auspicious cloud torch steadily in both hands and waited for the handover ceremony to begin.

Although the torch is not held in the square or in the final stage near the Bird's Nest, the enthusiasm will continue to rise as long as it is handed over in the imperial capital!
Soon, the torch was passed over from a distance. Jiang Ming saw that it seemed to be Wang Lihong in the distance, and a group of fans were shouting wildly.

The next person came to see an old lady in a wheelchair. Jiang Ming squatted down and politely took the torch from her hand to light his own. Then he said hello to the moving camera and started jogging at the pace of the volunteers!

The flame on the torch is burning!
Jiang Ming's heart also began to beat fast!
CCTV live broadcast:

"We see that the person who is currently handing over the torch is doctor Jiang Ming, who is the first Chinese expert in sports medicine and traditional Chinese medicine to serve as a team doctor in the NBA and is also the current director of the Trail Blazers' medical department.

His appearance has enriched our country's knowledge shortage in sports medicine, and he is also a young promoter of traditional Chinese medicine across the country!
He will also provide auxiliary treatment to our athletes in this Olympics. Let us remember Dr. Jiang Ming, a young and promising behind-the-scenes person!"

After saying this, Jiang Ming had almost finished walking the 100 meters.

The next person to hold the baton was Yang Lan, a famous Chinese host. Jiang Ming politely lowered his hand, and Yang Lan just raised the torch to reach the flame. After lighting it, she said thank you to Jiang Ming and started running.

The volunteers also hurried over and pressed the switch on the Xiangyun Torch for Jiang Ming to extinguish the flame, and the handover was completed perfectly!
People in this section also came up to take a group photo with Jiang Ming, Huo Ju and the volunteers.

Jiang Yu and Li Yang happily took photos with their son. This was truly remarkable. Even the director of their Dongli Hospital didn't get the treatment of being a torchbearer.

They knew clearly that the dean had used many connections to try to obtain this honor, but there was no way. There were too few places, and priority was given to those who were famous both at home and abroad.

This is also the reason why Chenglong is the first baton in the imperial capital, so that foreign reporters can remember him.

Jiang Ming obviously meets the requirements perfectly, and the photo of him handing over the torch has a high download rate on the Internet.

Moreover, during the interview session after the group photo, Jiang Ming was surrounded by many foreign reporters for interviews.

Reporters will interview the torchbearers after they finish serving as torchbearers.

In China, it is usually local TV stations or newspapers.

Jiang Ming, who is very famous abroad, was surrounded by foreign reporters.

They were very interested in Jiang Ming, the miracle doctor of traditional Chinese medicine.

At the beginning, the questions were all good, asking Jiang Ming about his feelings as a torchbearer and his expectations for the Olympics, etc.

Jiang Ming also answered happily:

"This is an unforgettable day in my life, thank you!"

“I hope all the athletes can perform well and not get injured!”

"I also hope everything goes well for the Olympics. Come on, Chinese team!"

But soon a short reporter started to stir up trouble:
"Since you are a doctor, can I ask you a medical question? It is said that Chinese medicine cannot perform surgery, but you have performed two operations this year, and your team members are all experts in Western medicine. Do you think that Chinese medicine must rely on modern Western medicine to perform operations?

Is Chinese medicine really just a supplement as everyone says, so it is more suitable for sports medicine? "

Jiang Yu frowned when he asked this question. Are you treating this as an academic seminar?

Asking such questions when you are so happy???

If there weren't so many cameras pointing at him, Jiang Yu would have stepped forward to confront him.

This is just like someone suddenly showing up on someone's wedding day and asking the groom whether he thinks the bride is suitable and whether she is his backup choice. That's asking for trouble!
Li Yang also realized that the reporter wanted to praise and demote Western medicine at the same time. His intentions were a bit vicious at this time when the attention was the highest. He even spoke standard Mandarin, which caused everyone to turn their microphones over to hear the answer.

So Li Yang grabbed Jiang Ming and tried to stop him from answering, ending the interview directly:

"We are going home to eat. If you have any questions, please ask me next time. Thank you!"

Jiang Ming, who had just recovered from his joy, calmed down and signaled his parents to stay calm:
"It's okay, that's an easy question to answer."

Then he stared directly at the camera of the TV station and smiled:

"Chinese medicine can't perform surgery??? Go to the museum and see!"

"Are you referring to the ancient Chinese doctors who performed surgeries as mentioned in the books by Bian Que and Hua Tuo?"

The reporter seemed to have guessed Jiang Ming's answer, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, he fell into the trap!

Jiang Yu's heart sank.

He was clearly setting a trap for Jiang Ming. He was clearly prepared and even continued talking.
