NBA: The best team doctor in history

Chapter 164: Which Taylor? Is Jiang Ming floating?

after one day.

portland.

Trail Blazers home game day.

After resting in the villa, Jiang Ming, who had just reunited with Fang Xiaotong, went out feeling refreshed.

And today Fang Xiaotong was particularly good, she could even turbocharge herself, which made Jiang Ming feel very comfortable.

Upon asking, she found out that the exchange application given by Dongli Hospital was directly changed to five years, allowing her to learn more, see more, ask more questions, and preferably socialize more and make some friends in the industry.

In fact, what it means is to let Fang Xiaotong have a better relationship with Jiang Ming, and have a better relationship with him, which means to have a better relationship with people in Microsoft and other upper-class people in North America.

What if Jiang Ming performs the surgery on the nobles in Dongli next time?

Placing Liu Xiang in Dongli has already made Dongli Hospital shine. In the future, attracting such high-end "customers" will only be possible by currying favor with freelance doctors like Jiang Ming.

Otherwise, in the imperial capital, most of the dignitaries and nobles would be taken away by those big hospitals.

Then when Jiang Ming went out, he found that the probability of being recognized increased greatly.

Now he has truly become a city celebrity.

The significance of going viral is that even street sweepers know that there is a miracle doctor in Portland who performs surgery on Microsoft billionaires.

There are also many major technology fans, and many homeless people who dream of becoming slumdog millionaires follow the news about these wealthy people every day.

Keep an eye on what they do every day, what industries they invest in, and then follow their lead
Now everyone knows Jiang Ming indirectly.

As soon as Jiang Ming came back, he gave Oden a scolding.

"Hey, Oden! Half an hour is the maximum you can ice it."

The reason was that Jiang Ming walked into the locker room and saw Oden sleeping soundly on a bench in the middle of the locker room.

It would be fine if he was just sleeping, but he also had ice packs tied to both of his knees. When Jiang Ming touched them, he was so cold!

This has been tied for a long time!
So he was so angry that he just yelled.

Oden was so scared that he almost fell off his chair:
"Ah? What's wrong?"

After seeing Jiang Ming, he quickly rubbed his knees and stood up:
"Director Jiang, you're back!"

Jiang Ming did not respond to his playful smile, but said coldly:
"Have you forgotten about Taylor?"

"Which Taylor? Taylor Swift?"

Oden was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had never dated such a top singer.

"Damn, a player from the last century!"

"what?"

"I'll give you some memories, take off the ice pack first!"

"Ok!"

Seeing that Jiang Ming seemed really angry, Oden quickly took off the ice packs on his feet.

Then I heard Jiang Ming say something horrifying.

Taylor is definitely one of the most tragic players in NBA history. As a first-round pick in 1994, although Taylor's statistics in his rookie season were not so outstanding, his excellent speed and physical fitness made the team willing to believe that he could become a qualified point guard.

But a tragedy happened to Taylor during physical therapy after a training session. During an ice compress, Taylor fell asleep due to excessive fatigue, and his knee was always surrounded by cold air.

When he woke up, his knees were damaged in many places. Having lost his only trump card, speed, Taylor could no longer compete in this league and had to retire in disgrace.

"This"

After hearing this, Oden quickly rubbed his knees, hoping to warm them up. However, after Jiang Ming finished speaking, he felt his knees getting colder and colder.

"You're going to jump like this when I'm not here?"

"No, Director. I thought I didn't need to bother the team doctors after warming up, so I applied it myself."

"I mean my knees. They're not in the right condition. I haven't taken good care of them!"

Jiang Ming motioned for him to take his hand away. He could clearly see that the muscles on his knee were red and swollen, which had nothing to do with ice compresses:
"Why is your knee swollen? It doesn't look like it's from playing ball. It looks like you hit it with a sharp object?"

Oden was so scared that sweat broke out on his forehead. He thought to himself that Jiang Ming was amazing. How could he notice such subtle changes?

In fact, this is the real reason why he applied ice, but now he can't hide it:
"I was discovered by you, Director. I fell off the sofa the night before yesterday and landed on my knees."

you!!!!

Head coach McMillan, who had just entered the locker room, was so angry after hearing this, and Jiang Ming shook his head speechlessly.

He actually believed it was true because players like Oden would really do these things.

In the two years I have been in contact with NBA players, I have found that they basically do not care about their appearance, so the locker rooms are messy. They sleep when they are tired and eat when they are hungry. Thanks to the team support and medical technology bonus, otherwise it would be difficult for them to be so professional.

Apart from international players such as Yao Ming, the most self-disciplined and knowledgeable player Jiang Ming has ever seen is Ray Allen of the Celtics. Regardless of whether the title of Gentleman Ray is positive or negative, he is indeed the most qualified black player he has ever met.

White Chocolate came in while eating bread:
"The sofas on the market are all the size for ordinary people to sleep on. If Oden is that size, he would fall down just by turning over."

Oden scratched his head, obviously knowing that he had made a mistake, and stood there like a child waiting to be punished by his teacher.

And Jiang Ming did give the order:

"Take a week off and wait until the pain in your knee goes away before playing again."

"what?"

Oden blurted out.

No way, is Jiang Ming so strict just after he came back from performing surgery on the big boss?
McMillan was stunned and quickly stepped forward and said:
"Director Jiang, this morning Chief Thomas evaluated and allowed Oden to play. Now we have two hours to play against the Timberwolves. It's not a good idea to let him rest at this time, right?" Jiang Ming asked back:
"The league doesn't have a rule that players on the roster must play, nor does it have a rule that players' injuries and rest cannot be announced before the game."

"Well, that's not true."

McMillan wiped his sweat, but he didn't ask any more questions this time, because Jiang Ming's attitude proved that Oden's condition might really get worse.

"Then listen to me. Let Oden rest for a week. I'll call the press officer right away."

McMillan:

"I have no problem with that. We have also played with the Big White Bear as a starter."

Oden and White Chocolate looked at each other in bewilderment. They had made a bet on how many dunks they would do that evening, but now there was no chance of winning?
But no one dared to refute what the director of the medical department said, and Oden did feel a little pain in his knee when it was bent to the bottom, but young players like him were the typical type who forgot the pain once the wound healed.

It has been a long time since he had knee pain, so he didn't take the slight pain seriously. When they play against the Timberwolves tonight, he really wants to play against Love, so he must give his all.

Soon the Trail Blazers official website released the latest player list and injury statement.

The press officer and Larry Miller both unconditionally support Jiang Ming's approach. They become sensitive whenever Oden's knee is mentioned!
So everyone agreed to Jiang Ming's suggestion immediately:
"Yes, that's how it should be done. Keep it like this until it doesn't hurt anymore!"

What does the regular season mean? The Trail Blazers are now in fifth place in the Western Conference, and there is still a long way to go until the playoffs, so our primary goal is to keep all players healthy until the playoffs.

Once someone is unhealthy or even out for the season, it will be difficult for the management and the team medical team.

The management has to make trades and select temporary replacements in the free market, which is very troublesome.

It is certain that the original regular season team will have better chemistry in the playoffs!

In the locker room, Big White Bear and Blake came over and comforted Oden, telling him to quickly put on his trousers to keep warm. Dr. Jiang Ming was doing this for his own good, and they would win this game for Oden.

They are now more familiar with Jiang Ming than Oden. After all, they have all undergone surgery and been casted by Jiang Ming, and they know very well how meticulous Jiang Ming is.

"I know. Isn't the game coming up soon? I haven't played a game in three days."

Oden glanced at Jiang Ming and nodded timidly.

Jiang Ming smiled and said:

"Then you won't feel bad if you look at the injuries that Nowitzki suffered during his rookie season. Wasn't it because of his outrageous injuries that he didn't play against Jordan?"

Veteran White Chocolate nodded quickly:

"Yes, I remember this. Haha, Oden, you will feel more balanced if you understand this."

"Is it true or not? Tell me!"

"take me Out to eat."

"no problem."

White Chocolate then told King Odenno about his embarrassing injury that happened that year.

Jordan is an idol in the hearts of many NBA superstars, and Nowitzki is no exception.

But what is really funny is that Nowitzki's first meeting with his idol Jordan was ruined because of a strange injury.

During training the day before his first official matchup with Jordan, Nowitzki laced up his left shoe and wanted to see if the shoe fit, so he stomped his foot heavily on the ground.

But it was this stomp that caused Nowitzki to sprain his ankle tendon, and he could only sit on the sidelines and watch his idol perform in the game the next day.

Compared to Oden, his statement is much more nonsensical.

Oden felt better after hearing this.

And actually, the blame should be borne by the team medical team.

As Oden temporarily announced a rest before the game, Jiang Ming was also criticized by Oden's fans:
"You did it on purpose, didn't you? Isn't that ridiculous?"

"I heard that it was Dr. Jiang Ming who did it. Why didn't he let Oden play right after he came back?"

"Is the team doctor also a big shot?"

"Yeah, I spent so much money to fly to see Oden, but before the game I was told that he wouldn't play?"

"Is Mad sick?"

"Anyone who has seen Jiang Ming wouldn't say he's a big shot, but I'm annoyed too. I took a leave to watch Oden. Oden vs. Love is definitely going to be fun!"

“@Jiang Ming, are you getting cocky after curing the second-in-command of Microsoft??? Or are you being as cautious as a coward?”

"@姜明, bro, Oden is not Paul Allen, he is very strong. I didn't see him say anything about injury in the last game. Could it be that he fell while picking up soap in the shower and got hurt?"

"Yeah, the main thing he said was that he was absent due to injury. Didn't he even give a reason?"

There are no condors in Argentina:
"We Spurs always find a reason to rest players, groin or something, but I guess the Trail Blazers didn't have enough time."

"The league probably won't fine him because Oden had never been rested before this, and Dr. Jiang Ming came back to check, so he really is injured."

"Trust Jiang Ming."

"Believe first and then question. He is definitely doing this for the good of the players. There is no conflict of interest between him and the players."

"That's right, unless you are a big shot, become arrogant, and change your heart."

"Pfft, you black guys are really stubborn."

Timberwolves fans:
"Thanks to Dr. Jiang for DNPing our own starting center. Thank you!"

But Jiang Ming himself doesn't care about these remarks at all. In his opinion, the most important thing is that Oden can play the entire season in good health.

As the team medical director responsible for the players, it is necessary for him to decide whether the players should be rested from a long-term perspective.

What's more, is it necessary to mobilize so many troops to fight a husky?
