NBA: The best team doctor in history

Chapter 141: Jiang Ming's lies, he had a broken bone! Emperor Yi, you are afraid of nothing!

This is considered the most important game of the day. The aisles and stands of the Wukesong Sports Center are full of people, and the atmosphere is comparable to that of the NBA playoffs!
It is well known that a gold medal in men's basketball is worth 10 gold medals in niche events, not to mention the chance for the Chinese men's basketball team to advance to the semi-finals for the first time.

And there are two heavyweight matches tonight, one is between the United States and Greece, and the other is between China. The Wukesong Sports Center is so lively tonight.

So Jiang Ming actually came over at noon to set up the physiotherapy room.

Yao Ming was also the first one to arrive at the scene to warm up. Everyone knows the truth: his wife was abused, and he had to get revenge on the Australian man!

We can’t have both the men’s and women’s basketball teams losing to Australia!!

Before the first game of the US team, Roy secretly found Jiang Ming and asked him to help him with bone adjustment and cupping, because he had been feeling unwell recently and could not feel well without Jiang Ming's physical therapy.

In the US team, he only averaged 3.4 points per game, and his performance was very ordinary with only a few minutes of garbage time in each game.

"Actually, you don't need to ask me for cupping. Any Chinese medicine doctor in the capital can do it well."

After Jiang Ming had adjusted his bones, he suggested that he go to a traditional Chinese medicine doctor for cupping. After all, it would not be a good idea for him to cupping the players on the US team himself, so he mainly used the local conditions of the Chinese team.

Although he is our own Trail Blazers player, he can just sit in a chair to have his bones straightened, but cupping will leave marks, so he has to lie on the therapy bed for 15 minutes.

What should I do if my leader sees me at this stage?

"I understand. Hehe, bone straightening is already comfortable enough."

Roy patted Jiang Ming's shoulder comfortably. It felt like he didn't even need to warm up after all this crackling noise.

And indeed this set of physical therapy seemed to be effective. In the next game, Roy turned into a microwave oven and scored 17 points, which was more eye-catching than Wade. Seeing his good performance, K gave him 18 minutes, and the team easily defeated Greece.

After the game, he found Jiang Ming in the medical room again when the Chinese team was preparing, and gave him a Fuwa that he bought in the Olympic Village:
"This is a limited edition signed by the entire U.S. team. When we get back to the Trail Blazers, treat your team to a nightclub and I'll pay for it!"

"Pfft, forget it, just go to bed and don't bother with this nonsense."

Now Fang Xiaotong is in his team. If Fang Xiaotong tells his parents about it, Jiang Ming will be dead.

However, Roy is not an ungrateful person. Take this Fuwa for example. It can probably be auctioned for tens of thousands of dollars if it is put on Amazon, and Jiang Ming can also keep it in his own home.

"I want to give my knee a shot to seal it off."

Yao Ming was very excited when he was receiving physical therapy, but Jiang Ming kept telling him not to get too excited, as being excited before the game was not conducive to his performance. Many of Yao Ming's goals were based on hook shots and mid-range shots, and if his brain was too excited before the game, it would easily affect his touch.

"I can't help it. My wife puts pressure on me." Yao Ming said with a wry smile in his signature cartoon.

"I understand. I'll give you some calming incense."

Jiang Ming lit up a stick of incense that he would use when making tea. When the aroma came out, everyone in the therapy room felt ecstatic and comfortable.

Ye Li was beaten up and put pressure on Yao Ming. Jiang Ming couldn't influence Yao Ming's sensitive nerves through words, he could only change him physically.

Yi Jianlian doesn't need much physical therapy. He is the youngest and in the best physical condition. As long as he doesn't play in fast-paced games like the NBA, he can do it easily.

Therefore, Jiang Ming has always felt that the European league is more suitable for Space Yi. In fact, he is not afraid of physical combat or confrontation, but he is afraid of all kinds of fast break and flying defense. Then his lower body will appear very weak, a bit like doing fitness without leg training.

Probably because it had been a game since then, today I had my second injection of knee closure since the match in Spain.

If he doesn't play, he won't be able to play for even a minute, because normally it takes 2 weeks for his knee to recover, but now he has to play the game so he has to shut it down.

Needless to say, if we talk about importance, the knockout stage is definitely more important than the group stage.

In addition to him, Jiang Ming also provided physical therapy to Liu Wei, Li Nan and Du Feng. For Jiang Ming, this game may be the only chance to see the Chinese men's basketball team enter the semi-finals. He will help as much as he can, and there will be no regrets for him!
Because Jiang Ming also feels that the current men's basketball team has no successors. Apart from Chen Jianghua and Xu Yong, there seems to be no young talents. It would be much better if Xu Yong could play in the NBA next year.

So audiences like Xu Yong had no regrets. I heard that scalpers were selling tickets for 5000 yuan each.

The first quarter begins!
This time, Jiang Ming did not sit in the stands with Xu Yong and others. Instead, he sat behind the Chinese team's medical team for the first time. This was the closest contact with the players and he was no different from the team doctor.

This can also provide reference opinions directly in the ever-changing game, and the blue shoes directly give him a position behind the main players.

Although it was not stated explicitly, Jiang Ming also knew that this meant timeouts between periods. Jiang Ming could also provide physical therapy plans and find ways to make the players "super powerful"!
Just like what several second-generation rich fans nearby said when taking photos with Jiang Ming, the injection Jiang Ming gave to Wang Zhizhi in the last game was simply amazing. If it weren't for this injection, the men's basketball team would now have to play against Lithuania, the second-placed team in Group B, which is a stronger opponent than Australia.

The front row was even more star-studded. Almost all the big names from all walks of life who liked basketball were there. It was almost becoming a top social stage.

But things didn't look good after the game started.

The Chinese team was suffocated by the suffocating and "barbaric" defense of the Australian team, and could only score points by relying on free throws from the "home whistle".

Jiang Ming knew that the Australian men's basketball team was strong, but he didn't expect it to be so strong. To a certain extent, the pressure on them was much greater than that of the US team.

Because these Australian guys don't care about physical strength, they just fight, both offense and defense, and they don't care whether they can score or not, they just drag both sides into hand-to-hand combat.

This is a bit like the style of play of the NBA Pistons.

This is obviously not a confrontation that the Chinese team can immediately match. The Chinese team went to Europe and the United States for training this time and did not play against Australia, so they are not used to many of Australia's small and dirty moves.

After the first quarter, the Chinese team was 12 points behind at 16:4.

The main advantage of the Chinese team is their height, which is not enough in front of the Australian team because the Australians are also tall. Among the 12-man roster, 9 are over 2 meters tall.

Moreover, Patty Mills, who is less than two meters tall, has been fighting overseas for many years. He has played in the NBA and the CBA. He is known as the Jordan of FIBA. In the second quarter, he made two unreasonable three-pointers to confuse the Chinese team.

That’s nothing, he is a bit of a hot-head after all, but the other players playing in the NBA, led by Bogut, are just too good.

When Yi Jianlian faced Bogut, perhaps the pressure from the Bucks' leader was too great, and he didn't score a single point in the first half and was strangled.

Bogut knows Yi Jianlian's playing style very well and he must have told everyone that he only needs to defend the upper line, and Yi Jianlian can be confronted whether he breaks through or plays with his back to the basket. Yi Jianlian is far behind in terms of confrontation if he wants to catch up with Bogut.

Moreover, Australia also knew that they could not afford to lose in this kind of knockout match, so they did not make substitutions easily. They kept Bogut on the court staring at Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, which made it very uncomfortable for the Chinese team's inside line.

In addition, there is an organizing forward like Joe Ingles who can shoot three-pointers. At the end of the first half, the Chinese team was trailing by 9 points!
However, during the half-time break, Jiang Ming listened to Jonas' tactics while receiving physical therapy.

This foreign coach is really awesome. He also saw through the opponent's tactics and simply said that in the second half, he would play a combination of inside and outside instead of just playing inside.

"YAO received the ball with his back to the basket, Yi Jianlian made two long two-point shots in the bottom corners to open up space, Wang Shipeng and Zhu Fangyu served as shooters at 45-degree angles, Sun Yue looked for an opportunity to break through the top arc, and blocked Mills!"

This means giving up on the short guard and competing directly in height and confrontation.

It's useless to put Liu Wei and Chen Jianghua on the field, as they will be restricted by players like Mills. It's better to let Sun Yue and Wang Shipeng open up the situation by shooting, so that the inside players can also get opportunities.

Because Yao Ming can attack anyone indiscriminately, but in the first half, due to the outside attack of the opponent, he had few chances to get the ball. And Jonas is really authoritative, he directly scolded Yi Jianlian:
"You wimp, are you worthy of Dr. Jiang giving you physical therapy? What are you afraid of?"

The translator added:
"Yeah, even though he's the boss of your Bucks team, you're fighting for your country now. No matter how he abused you in the training match before, you have to abuse him now!"

Yi Jianlian fell silent without even cursing. Jiang Ming, who was familiar with Yi Jianlian's character, stopped the acupuncture in his hands and winked at Jonas.

Jonas then stopped cursing.

It’s mainly because it’s so infuriating. The starting power forward, an NBA rotation-level forward, only had 2 rebounds and 0 points in the first half?

He doesn't believe that this was not due to Bogut's influence.

The main thing is that Bogut was accurate in every attack he made against him, and Yi Jian scored 3 goals in a row in singles, which means 6 points. Single-point explosion is the most demoralizing.

It’s okay to blast other players, but it’s a big problem to blast the Chinese NBA players studying abroad.

Sure enough, at the beginning of the third quarter, Yi Jianlian obviously had not come out of his emo mood. He hesitated to stop the ball after receiving it, and did not dare to fight for the rebound, retreating.
If it weren't for the Jonas tactics that made him wait for the ball at the three-point line, Yi would have been a pure side effect in the interior, providing Yao Ming with a defender.

"Zhu Fangyu is so fierce!"

"Wang Shipeng made a three-pointer!"

"Sun Yue goes around the screen and shoots for a two-pointer at Mills!"

"Yao Ming gets an offensive rebound inside and dunks over Chris Anstley!"

"Just fight like this!"

The Chinese team's strong qualities were undoubtedly demonstrated, and they caught up to 5 points after the shooter lineup came on board.

Then Jonas saw that Yi Jianlian was still playing like a pure blue-collar player, so he simply replaced him with Wang Zhizhi, who was better at offense.

He is not afraid of anyone. When he was playing in the NBA, he would rush towards O'Neal, let alone Bogut.

So he came up and attacked Bogut. Although he was affected by Bogut and the shot didn't go in, he made Bogut stagger several times on defense.

"Yeah, he's not the best defensive player in the NBA, just play him."

Du Feng, who was sitting on the bench, played the role of encouraging the players and gave a series of comments to his old teammate Yi Jianlian from Guangdong.

But this obviously doesn't work.

Jiang Ming suddenly patted Yi Jianlian on the shoulder when the Chinese team paused:

"Come, let me talk to you."

"Okay, Brother Jiang Ming."

Yi Jianlian, who was deeply remorseful, stood up with a little sweat on his body. Jiang Ming threw him a towel and said:

"Just go after him, don't be afraid, he broke his bones last season, what are you afraid of!"

Jiang Ming was referring to the match when he healed Yi Jianlian's dislocated shoulder. Yi Jianlian also recalled it after hearing this:

"Yes, I'm not afraid, I just can't find the feeling."

Jiang Ming smiled and said:

"Then let me tell you, his knee is still not healed and he still can't jump. If you keep playing like this, the Bucks' starting lineup will have to give way to you. Emperor Yi, you are not afraid of anything!"

The old coach Gong Luming shouted from behind:

"The fans all call you Emperor Yi. You are an emperor, what are you afraid of?"

Yi Jianlian clenched his hands. Dr. Jiang asked if Bogut was still injured.

What he said is basically safe because he has used this tactic in both the NBA and the Chinese national football team.

Fernandez made Garnett miserable in the NBA. After the draft, he publicly let slip in the summer league that he was recalled by the Trail Blazers because of the approval of team doctor Jiang Ming. Although he looks thin, he will definitely not be injured.

Originally no one in the Chinese national football team knew about it, but the New Zealand No. 8 insisted that the miracle doctor said he was injured.

It is true that his foot injury after surgery had not yet fully healed, so he did not dare to defend with all his strength, allowing the Chinese team to keep looking for opportunities, otherwise it would not have been possible to draw 1:1.

After that, Jiang Ming's method of "judging people" became very useful to the coaching staff.

After hearing what he said, Yi Jian felt that Bogut was at the end of his strength!

"In the first half, he was just fighting like a trapped beast. Just look at the ball just now. He must have been so confused that he didn't know where to go!"

"Yes, I will target him when I go up!"

"Correct!"

Jiang Ming rolled his eyes. Only people who lie would roll their eyes, but this was also a white lie from Jiang Ming.

In fact, in Jiang Ming's opinion, Bogut has recovered very well, and it seems that he has even reached his peak state. It's not that he can't jump, but he is like a pagoda guarding the inside. Anyone who comes in will be blocked by his quick footsteps, and anyone who wants to challenge him can be easily jumped by him.

The main thing is that he can also pull out to the outside to perform pick-and-rolls again and again. FIBA's mobile pick-and-rolls are not strictly enforced, making it easy for Australian shooters to shoot.

But this is the effect of psychological suggestion. Yi Jianlian would definitely find it easier to believe and accept what he said than what Gong Luming or anyone else said.

The pause ends.

Although Wang Zhizhi was in good condition after receiving a blocking injection, his physical condition obviously could not withstand such a confrontation for long. He showed signs of fatigue after playing a few rounds. He always supported his knees when shooting free throws, was slow in attack and was always the last one to run when defending.

This also caused the score difference to remain at 5 points, and Jonas had to ask Yi Jianlian about his condition again:
"Are-you-ok?"

"Are you ready to go?"

"can!"
