NBA: The best team doctor in history

Chapter 133 133: Yao Ming blocked Kobe Bryant’s shot. Is this a knee that can bear 280 kilograms of weight?

After Yao Ming's encouragement, the team medical team gave them a "cooling down".

"The passion has to be on the field."

Jiang Ming called Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian to the medical room first.

He wanted to give Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian the most complete relaxation. There was no doubt that these two players who played rotation in the NBA were definitely the backbone of the men's basketball team tonight, so Jiang Ming also selectively gave them pre-match physical therapy.

Everyone looked over when the voice suddenly appeared, and no one stepped forward to stop it after recognizing the person who made the voice.

All eyes signaled: Go quickly!
Dr. Jiang Ming has taken the initiative, so what are you waiting for!
Li Nan and Du Feng pushed Yao Yi out directly.

The staff pretended not to see it. After all, Jiang Ming didn't have a pass for the men's basketball team. He just relied on facial recognition to lead his team of three to the locker room.

The men's basketball team doctor did exactly as the men's football team doctor said, as long as Jiang Ming gave the order, they would obey completely!

He takes whatever he wants, and his movements are smoother than Jiang Muyan's.

"It's still too rudimentary."

Although Jiang Ming's team felt very happy to be "served" in this way, Jiang Ming still did not hope that such a situation would happen again in the future.

He also hopes that the team medical staff can do the same thing as him, so that it is very likely that all five starters can get the best pre-game relaxation therapy.

Now he is in the country helping domestic athletes, so what will happen if he returns to the Trail Blazers and is not in the country?
If you encounter a problem, do you have to go to the hospital to see an expert?
Wouldn’t that mean we would miss the golden treatment time every time?

So Jiang Ming told the team doctors without any reservation that they could all watch how he was doing physical therapy.

A few brave young people took a few steps forward and held their phones firmly to record the moment. If they didn't hold it firmly, the picture would be blurry.

Jiang Ming first helped Yao Ming relax his calves, thighs and waist core, which are the most needed parts of the body when playing basketball.

In fact, it was the first time that Yao Ming received physical therapy from Jiang Ming. At Fang Xiaotong's suggestion, he lay prone on the treatment bed. Jiang Ming used kneading and pressing techniques to fully relax Yao Ming's inflamed soft tissues.

After relaxing, there was a crackling sound, and Jiang Ming was seen shaking his legs and rubbing his waist, causing the posterior joint to rotate along the axis, preliminarily correcting the crooked alignment of the vertebrae.

"I have only seen this scene in an 80-year-old Chinese medicine doctor."

The men's basketball team's medical team was amazed. No wonder foreign athletes like Jiang Ming so much.

Who wouldn’t be confused after all this?
They were all surprised to know about the Chinese medicine treatments of bone setting and massage, let alone foreigners.

I don’t know if it’s effective or not, but the visual effect is amazing.

The main reason is that Jiang Ming, a young man under 30 years old, was able to do it so smoothly and straighten Yao Ming's bones like flowing water.

Yi Jianlian, who was having his arm muscles massaged by Sean, felt his bones itching as he heard the sounds. He couldn't help but wanted to hurry up and was also pulled.

Like Yao Ming, he has also been receiving "remote treatment", but he has undergone one more rotator cuff correction than Yao Ming. I haven't seen him for a long time, and I have heard of Jiang Ming's physical therapy and massage techniques for a long time.

Having already felt Jiang Ming's power, he really couldn't wait.

If the game wasn't about to start and the atmosphere wasn't a bit serious, he would have wanted to tell a joke and let Jiang Ming tell it to him first.

But soon it was his turn.

Jiang Ming knew after talking with Feigen and Zhang Mingji in the Olympic Village that Yi Jianlian's health was much worse than Yao Ming's, so he worked on Yao quickly and focused on Yi Jianlian.

Jiang Ming quickly found the cause of the problem in Yi Jianlian based on what Feigen said about his injury history.

"Don't move!"

"Don't move at all!" A Lian lay face up, not daring to move.

For Yao Ming, this is called relaxation, while for Yi Jianlian, this is called treatment.

There are obvious nodules on his left knee and left ankle, which are caused by years of sports injuries.

"coming!"

Jiang Ming shouted loudly and used his thumbs to pluck the paravertebral nodules of the affected vertebrae, and pressed the acupoints on both sides of the affected vertebrae and Shenshu, Huantiao, Weizhong, Kunlun, etc.

Then Yi Jianlian's entire left leg was kneaded with palms, fingers, rubbed, and joints moved, and the numb area was pinched and pinched with fingers, and the waist and back were tapped.

After all the operations, my forehead was covered with sweat, but Alian felt full of energy. After getting up, he felt refreshed as if he had just had a good sleep.

"You two can start some intense warm-ups now. After warming up, put on your sneakers and tie your shoelaces tighter."

Sean added: "Don't bother, put on the knee and ankle braces, I'll do it for you!"

"OK!"

"Thank you, Dr. Jiang!"

“Thank you Dr. Sean!”

The two basketball superstars who were very influential in China were like children in front of Jiang Ming's team, which made the team medical team stunned.

Is this the power of a famous doctor?
Unlike them, the players had no expression when giving physical therapy to the men's basketball team.

at the same time
The US team is also giving rapid physical therapy to the players.

Moreover, their infirmary has 8 beds and 8 main rotation players can receive physical therapy at the same time. After all, they have invited the chief medical teams of both teams, so it is not a problem to provide muscle relief for 8 people at the same time half an hour before the game.

This is the battlefield behind the athletes and the competition, the invisible battle!
The Chinese staff will naturally "leak" this news to the Chinese men's basketball team. This is the Olympics held in the imperial capital. Who doesn't want to see the Chinese men's basketball team fight back and forth with the US men's basketball team?

So he secretly told the Chinese team's medical team the details of the American team's physical therapy via the intercom.

In fact, it was of no use for the Chinese team's medical team to get this information, so they shared it with Jiang Ming's team, which was more familiar with the U.S. team.

The starting five of Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, and Dwight Howard were personally handled by the chiefs.

Substitutes Jason Kidd, Deron Williams and Dwyane Wade are members of the bottom team.

Tayshaun Prince, Chris Bosh, Carlos Boozer and Roy were just warming up by themselves in the locker room.

At this time, Roy really wanted to go to the Chinese team next door to find Jiang Ming. Although he was not seriously injured, he felt aggrieved!

This force supports him to definitely defeat all these starters next season!
"Where's Lisa? Who is he treating?"

"She's doing physical therapy for Kobe."

Lisa has recently become a celebrity in the entire U.S. team's medical team, because her ability is indeed the best among the U.S. team doctors. In addition, her remarks in defending the U.S. men's basketball team have made her familiar to many people in recent days.

There was also an interview with her this morning while she was eating soy milk in the capital.

The reporter asked: "But as the guardian of the health of the "Dream Team", holding the best roster in the world, do you feel a great responsibility?"

"It's been an incredible journey and we've been lucky enough not to have any injuries, so I haven't really been too busy."

The introduction given by the central bank also added a bunch of titles to her:
"2004 NBA Team Doctor of the Year, treating many professional teams in New York - the WNBA Liberty, the NHL Rangers, the AHL Hartford Wolfpack and the Knicks' Development League team."

The Chinese reporter also asked about the first game against the Chinese team and what preparations she had made for the players.

Lisa avoided talking about these secrets and took the initiative to mention Jiang Ming:
"It is said that Dr. Jiang Ming will also come to the Chinese men's basketball team to assist. I hope that both players can finish the game in good health."

So even though she and Jiang Ming had never met or said hello to each other, they had always been competing against each other secretly.

But in fact, the Wukesong staff had already told the Chinese team exactly what they were doing. Let's start fighting the eagle from me!

Isn't this indirectly bringing glory to the country?

The staff's "scout report" indicated that the Dream Team had a two-hour on-court training yesterday as per usual. The U.S. men's basketball team had a completely closed training session without much warm-up or intensity, and it was purely tactical.

This is not fake. Coach K is famous for his tactics, and the US team's talents have been assembled for a month, so they must have some time to get used to each other.

Today, when the players just arrived at Wukesong, Lisa's team first performed infrared repair on Deron Williams' ankle. They directly used their own instruments to do the work, without using the equipment in the Chinese medical room.

As Deron gets older, his ankles will definitely not be able to handle the big changes of direction that he is best at.

It was indeed too much to bear. Deron Williams sprained his ankle during the warm-up game, and then they happened to have such a good team doctor, so they asked their New York team to do the treatment.

The team of Rockets chief Thomas Clanton came to help later. Simply put, the US team has a lot of money and a large budget, but Clanton is just a figurehead and is doing knee sports recovery for LeBron James tonight.

It’s mainly Lisa’s team. I have to say that there are some differences when a woman is the chief team doctor. The meticulous and rigorous professional attitude runs through Lisa’s medical career.

The content recorded in Lisa's itinerary after arriving in the imperial capital seemed to be telling the daily life of a top NBA team doctor.

Every day is different, and on game days, her job is to observe the situation from the sidelines with a neutral attitude and ensure she is available at any time.

Sometimes deciding whether a player can continue to play has a profound impact on his future.

Of course, he was not conservative in the US team. In this game, everyone was on the roster and could play. No matter which national team they were from, they would spare no effort to win glory for their country.

She would also come into the gym from time to time on training days because maybe a guy had a swollen knee and she would take him to get an MRI. She had to deal with these kinds of problems that kept coming up.

“I still have to learn from them.”

Jiang Ming, who was already reading the report in the audience, glanced at the US team's bench and found that only the familiar Rockets doctors were there, and none of the Knicks' Lisa's team members appeared on the court.

It can be seen that she really has many things in common.

"She has been a team doctor for more than ten years, and I have heard that she pays attention to every detail."

Sean next to him said that when he first started working as a team doctor with Jiang Ming, he followed the team doctor guidelines that Lisa made public.

Lisa often arrives at Madison Square Garden two hours before the game starts to meet the medical needs of the home and visiting teams - most NBA team doctors will not go to away games with the players.
On training days, they rarely appear in the players' shooting training like Lisa does, but the team doctors will communicate with the trainers on the phone frequently, just like they communicate with their own family members.

The trainer is the front-line "sentry" closest to the players. When a player is injured, the trainer will report the observations and receipt to the team doctor truthfully.

"You have to trust that the team's trainers have extraordinary intuition and excellent assessment skills." If a player needs medication or instrument testing, that's when Lisa has to step in.

Although there is always debate among the public about the medical level of different NBA teams, she feels that there is almost no competition among NBA team doctors.

“We are all about helping our players be successful and we can work together to make sure every team is well taken care of.”

Of course, this is no longer true at the Olympics and World Championships.
Lisa said that NBA team doctors can form a tacit cooperation relationship: "In the past, our team had to play five consecutive away games. When we arrived in the second city, the trainer might call me and say, 'So-and-so's knee is a little sore', 'So-and-so seems to have a fever',
At this time, I will call the team doctor in the next city, inform him of our player's condition, and help him solve the problem.

We help each other, and we treat other teams’ players the same as our own.”

Even in such a respectable position, some NBA players would throw tantrums and question Lisa's professionalism: "You can say whatever you want!"

When encountering such a situation, Lisa will list all the information as much as possible and patiently explain the obscure medical terms to the other party so that the players can understand the true condition of their bodies.

"It's a good thing if no one notices us. We prefer to stay in the background. I never want to be a well-known figure."

Jiang Ming, who was chewing potato chips, was stunned by these words:

"No, where did you see these guidelines? Were they published in the newspaper?"

Sean shook his head:

"No, it's written in a book Dr. Lisa published."

"Oh, no wonder, it's exaggerated, haha."

"Yeah, I did it for a season, and there are still many differences. For example, when you treated Bynum, everyone's reaction was completely different from what Lisa wrote in her book."

"So it's a book. Just read what's in the book."

Sean: “Yeah, I read that book as a novel now.”

Fang Xiaotong also said: "It's just like when a serious person writes a novel, no one will write out all the useful things, and they will just embellish it."

"Well, let's watch the game!"

It was the players' turn to come on stage. Liu Wei, Sun Yue and others were introduced by the commentator one by one and there was a lot of cheering. Jiang Ming also followed the shouting. Finally, Yao Ming with his flat head and pursed lips came on stage, which was really domineering.

Serious and just doing the job!

In fact, the cheers for the American team were also quite good. Many American fans came to the scene, and many political bigwigs also came. After all, who doesn’t like Kobe, Wade and the others?
Game start!
The US team took strict defense against the Chinese team right from the start, forcing Yao Ming to take a 3-point shot from the outside at the last moment, which he made!
"Status explosion!"

"Yao Ming is in great form!"

However, the US team soon counterattacked without any hesitation. Paul broke through Liu Wei and passed the ball to Howard without looking at him, who made a violent shot!
Then the Chinese men's basketball team was really strong. Sun Yue and Zhu Fangyu both scored three-pointers against the defenders, and the score was once ahead!
"Wow! Such confidence is not even on the same level as the men's football team!" A fat guy behind Jiang Ming praised.

Just as he finished speaking, Chen Jianghua, who came on as a substitute in the first quarter, made a change of direction to pass Paul, then dribbled past Kobe from behind, and accelerated to make a layup with the help of Wade's defense!
1 vs 3!!!

This ball made all the Chinese fans at the scene stand up.

Chen Jianghua's layup was amazing!

Jiang Ming thought:

"These players really know they have the ability! They must be ambitious to be able to impersonate Kobe and Howard, dunk over Anthony, and shoot three-pointers against James!

It's like having hundreds of millions in your pocket, and the way you look at girls is more determined than theirs!"

Just like Sun Dasheng said before the game:
“Standing on the Wukesong Stadium, even though we were facing the American Dream Team, we didn’t think we would lose!”

The team has three starters who played in the NBA, one who just returned from the NBA, and one who is the three-point king of the CBA. They can indeed compete with the US men's basketball team!
"Just don't get hurt!"

In the first quarter, the Chinese men's basketball team was only 2 points behind.

Jiang Ming found that many fans actually thought that this game could be released, and the next two games were the most important. If you want to win against the United States, how much effort will it take to win one game?

And you only need to win 2 games to advance!

Angola is sure to win, and as long as they win one of Spain and Germany they will qualify. We can't just compete like this.

Just like when Yao Ming first jumped high to block Kobe's sure-fire fadeaway jumper, the fans watching were dumbfounded:

"Yao Ming blocked Kobe's fadeaway shot. Was this knee bearing 280 kilograms of weight? The height is outrageous!"

"Are you sure you won't get hurt?"

Jiang Ming stood up and shouted to them:

"Don't worry, he has received scientific training and physical therapy, he won't do that!"

"Doctor Jiang, I feel relieved to have you here. We have to rely on Yao Ming for the next three games!"

"This sentence makes us feel more at ease!"
