NBA: The best team doctor in history

Chapter 150: Ibaka's Medicinal Wine

Originally, Larry Miller and Bert and other management had no choice but to select Dragic in the second round this year, and they didn't expect him to be so outstanding.

After all, both his body shape and playing style overlap with Blake. Unless he can seize the opportunity later, it is unlikely that he will join the rotation.

At that time, Dragic happened to be the next alternative player marked by Jiang Ming. Out of trust in Jiang Ming, Larry Miller chose him directly.

After all, the Blazers' minimum requirement for second-round picks now is durability, and it would be bad if they play on and off in the Development League.

However.
Later, he played as the starting point guard for Slovenia in the Imperial Capital Olympics, averaging 15+7 assists +3 steals per game!

His physical fitness test results in this training camp were among the best. Not to mention that his physical fitness, speed and jumping ability were much better than White Chocolate's, he was also much better than Blake.

Of course, because Blake had surgery, he might not dare to blindly increase the weight in terms of strength.

But has this year's second-round pick Dragic become the Trail Blazers' most talented point guard?
I really found a treasure.

Jiang Ming nodded after watching his knees' reaction after touching the board repeatedly:

"Yes, yes, he is in very good shape. I also watched him in the Olympics. He is a very tough player."

Although he didn't touch it high, he was jumping with all his strength every time, which Jiang Ming could see clearly.

Jiang Ming's words implied that the coaching staff could use more of them. He personally really likes this kind of smart and resilient European player.

For example, Argentina defeated China to win the bronze medal in the Olympics. Although Manu and Scola rarely performed explosive moves like dunks, their basketball IQ crushing on the court was really cool. As a fan, Jiang Ming also prefers the kind of goals that are scored through open passes.

As a team doctor, he certainly cannot interfere with the coaching staff's use of players, but there is nothing wrong with giving subtle hints.

Now it seems that this Slovenian guy has no problems except that he is a little short in jumping ability?
The only ones who can restrain Dragic are explosive point guards like Westbrook and Rose, but there aren't many of those point guards who can really defend their guards, right?

"Yes, we noticed it. We didn't expect Director Jiang to want to go with us."

McMillan replied to Jiang Mingdao with a smile, saying that everything was self-explanatory, and the players that Dr. Jiang liked could be trained more.

Dragic can be allowed to play more in the next training games and preseason games.

After all, everyone knows the condition of White Chocolate. After playing for another season or two, he will be completely out of energy. This is the law of nature.

Not only the Slovenian kid, but also Fernandez, who played very well in Spain and competed against Kobe in the Olympic final, will definitely be reused.

This 07 second-round pick was also brought back to the team after being recognized by Jiang Ming, so by the same token, Dragic may not be reused in the new season, but he will definitely get more attempts than other teams' second-round picks.

After all, the Trail Blazers are short of players in the backcourt.

While Jiang Ming's team was watching Dragic's physical test, Thomas and Jensen were looking for problems with this year's first-round pick Ibaka.

That is, the African brother Ibaka is completely unfamiliar with scientific sports methods. He is just a rough guy who takes advantage of his youth to jump around and can continue playing immediately after spraining his foot.

If it were another team, they would definitely not care. This kind of guy is the type that can withstand a lot of fucking.

But the Trail Blazers are different. They are scared by the injuries. Although he looks tough, Jensen still decided to customize knee and ankle braces for Ibaka. This way of exercise looks too harmful, so let's protect him first!

So he asked Ibaka to wear ankle and knee pads in every training and game in the future to be prepared.

Jiang Ming nodded in agreement after seeing this. Although Ibaka is a strong man with no injury record, it is a good thing to be cautious in the City of Tears.

The main thing is that his movements are really exaggerated. His knees don't cushion when he lands, and he doesn't care if there are people in front of him when blocking shots. He just jumps and doesn't even look to see if there are other people's feet below.
For a truly durable player, it’s fine if he doesn’t get injured, but if he does, the injury is serious.

"You did the right thing. You must wear it from now on."

This made the other team doctors look at each other in bewilderment. When did Dr. Jiang become so cautious? Was this the first time he had the same idea as Jensen?
But in fact, Jiang Ming understands the thoughts of the old employees in the team very well.

Jiang Ming heard the Trail Blazers' first owner Larry Weinberg talk about the reason for selling the team when he delivered the keys to his villa.

In the early 21st century, he formed a super luxurious lineup with 5 All-Star starters, but they were all injured. It was at that time that he became discouraged and didn't want to run a team anymore because he was tired.

Don’t worry about the market and interests, it would be so cool to just watch the game as an ordinary Trail Blazers fan.

But when Jiang Ming came over to continue to examine Ibaka, his face turned cold:
"Serge Ibaka, you will be sweeping the floor in the infirmary starting tomorrow for a week, and Robert will be in charge of the examinations." Huh?
Everyone was shocked. What happened suddenly? ? ?
Ibaka, who was sweating profusely and giving his all during the warm-up, also looked at Jiang Ming with a puzzled and wise look:

"Director Jiang, did I do something wrong?"

"Are you new here? Do you not understand or are you pretending to understand? Did you drink yesterday?"

"No!"

Ibaka was stunned for a moment and immediately replied.

Thomas Reese also came over and asked:

"Tell the truth, you are new here and it's normal that you don't know much. After the training camp starts, you are not allowed to touch alcohol without the permission of the team."

"Ah? I didn't drink."

Sean just laughed:

"Brother, you better speak frankly. No one can escape the eyes of our director. His judgment will not be wrong."

He knows all the Chinese medicine methods of observation, auscultation, questioning and palpation. He can even tell what someone did last night and how many times he did it, not to mention drinking.

Ibaka quickly patted his head and thought carefully:

"Oh!!! Last night I invited some friends to my newly rented apartment for dinner, and I soaked the remaining bullwhips in a cocktail to taste. This should be considered a drink, right?" Ibaka said with a nostalgic look, as if he really had no idea.

"Drink your head!"

Fang Xiaotong was speechless. Isn't this the method of making Chinese medicinal wine? Moreover, it is made in the form of cocktail. Are they really not afraid of poisoning after drinking it?

Jiang Ming felt annoyed when he heard about bullwhips. This guy really likes to eat this kind of thing. I guess Africans just like to eat what they need to replenish their body.

Although this is also said in folk Chinese medicine, this approach is completely wrong.

So he directly scolded:
"Two weeks of cleaning! Cocktails cannot be used as medicine. Using them to soak bullwhips will only do harm, not good."

But this kid shouldn't have been soaking for long.

Ibaka was so frightened by Jiang Ming that he nodded and agreed:

"I understand, Director! I know I was wrong! I'll go clean it right away."

"But, soaking like this, is it medicine?"

"Yes, in our Chinese medicine theory, this kind of wine has medicinal effects."

Jiang Ming did not tell the effect of the medicine, so as to avoid the listeners to take it into consideration. Everyone went to soak the bullwhip in wine, for example, it can indeed nourish the kidneys, strengthen the yang and improve immunity.

"Usually the wine used to make medicine is mostly rice wine, and there are also specially brewed wines that can be used to make medicine. If you want to drink this kind of wine next time, I will make you authentic medicinal wine. It can really nourish your body. Drink more water today, and don't let me catch you drinking again."

"I understand! Thank you!" Ibaka stood straight and said.

Jiang Ming waved his hand to signal him that he could leave. He just happened to be preparing some medicinal wine to thank his former boss who gave him the villa. If Ibaka liked it, he could give him a small jar to try.

Medicinal wine will not make people greedy, generally 10 ml at a time is enough.

White Chocolate, who was found to have been drinking, was found drinking water and breathing heavily on the sidelines before Jiang Ming came over. As a result, he was naturally punished to clean the place for a week.

He also went to Ibaka's apartment last night, mainly because he was interested in the cockroach tea and bullwhip pizza made by Ibaka, but in the end he lost both the wife and the army.

Not only did it taste bad, but I also had to drink a glass of wine that this guy messed up. Not only did I have diarrhea last night, but I was also fined today.

"I'd be a fool if I eat something made by this rookie next time!" White Chocolate, who had tattoos all over his body, glared at Ibaka and cursed him!
If you are short of books, you can read my old books. They are all different and innovative, and they are my hard work.
