NBA: The best team doctor in history

Chapter 170: McGrady violates the rules, Dragon King Bosh, there is something wrong with your blood
Bert sent his congratulations to Jiang Ming, which was also a message from Paul:
"Next step, Nobel Medicine, come on!"

"Forget it. That would be too ostentatious. The Lasker Award is enough."

"Yes, don't worry, Paul also has a limit to what he does."

Department employees bought cakes and flowers to celebrate for Jiang Ming. For them, this award was an unattainable super prize. For many doctors, the Lasker Award is their lifelong dream.

But in fact, Jiang Ming's reaction was okay and he wasn't that excited.

Because he himself knew that he was totally unqualified. This was nothing. The award given to House for performing osteosarcoma surgery on Xu Yong was okay, but that was much more difficult than the surgery performed on Paul. The main thing was that a person could play professional basketball after undergoing malignant osteosarcoma surgery. This was the first case in history.

So he didn't feel much about it. The fact is that as long as you are rich and powerful enough, you can win the Nobel Prize in Medicine in a matter of minutes.

The whole world is a makeshift team, there is no such thing as authority or no authority. We can only say that Paul Allen helped him make the hospital more stable.

That’s good, at least I have a reputation in the Americans.

Not to mention in China, his title as NBA team doctor is enough to make him famous in China. This is not uncommon in the United States, but he is the first Asian to be the director of the team medical department in the NBA!

So Fang Xiaotong and Jiang Muyan celebrated for Jiang Ming again in the evening.

Both of them changed into silk pajamas made in Hangzhou, which were as thin as a cicada's wing, and danced gracefully for Jiang Ming on the bed in a vague manner. Their figures under the moonlight made Jiang Ming feel as if he was watching the Colorful Feather Dance.

Last night, the spring scenery was rippling in the Cuckoo Lake
Into the lake and mountains
The first big customer who came to consult was a player Jiang Ming had never expected.

When Jiang Ming was preparing for the Trail Blazers' home game against the Lakers, Meili, the administrative lady from Mingtian Clinic, called and said that McGrady's agent came to see Jiang Ming and wanted to talk to him directly.

The general meaning is that he wants to come to the clinic for treatment tomorrow, ask about Jiang Ming's treatment costs, and want to make an appointment.

"Huh? Maddie? Don't they have Thomas Clanton?"

Jiang Ming was stunned. Was McGrady sure he had asked the Rockets' medical team?
Or did he bypass his own team's medical team and come directly to me?

Isn't that against the rules?
So he asked Oden while doing acupuncture on his knee:

"Do you know what's going on with the Rockets and McGrady recently?"

Oden laid his head on the therapy bed and shook his head:
"Not very good. We beat them by 20 points last week. McGrady only scored 9 points in that game. I feel like he can only be a second-in-command, pure scorer. It's too difficult for him to lead the team. He didn't even pass the ball to Yao."

"Also, he still likes to shoot against people, and his hit rate is very low. It's very simple for us to defend him. If he feels good, we double-team him, and if he doesn't feel good, we defend him alone. He likes to challenge people one-on-one, but his ability is no longer matched with his current playing style."

"Oh, maybe his body is no longer in its prime."

"Of course. He and the Carter brothers used to be able to fly and dunk, but now they both have fewer dunks. The future belongs to young people like us. By the way, didn't I hear that he has some spinal problems? It may be because of these problems that his strength has declined significantly."

"Congenital mild scoliosis."

"Yes, what's the matter? He wants you to treat this?"

"I think so. Stop talking and relax your knees and back."

While giving Oden an acupuncture injection, Jiang Ming recalled McGrady's physical condition when he was in the Rockets. At that time, the media kept saying that Tracy McGrady was using the time he rented from God.

So I also specifically read his injury report. At that time, his dream was to cure his congenital spondylitis, but now he doesn't need to prove himself by curing ankylosing spondylitis and scoliosis.

When McGrady first entered the league, he was examined by doctors and trainers. Because of his body structure, doctors estimated that McGrady's career lifespan would be five to six years.

McGrady has a congenital mild scoliosis, which may cause his spine to bear too heavy a burden during intense sports confrontations, and eventually force him to end his sports career prematurely.

But now is the 10th season, and McGrady is still fighting in the NBA.

This shows that the Rockets' medical team is doing a good job in controlling the situation.

After finishing physical therapy for Oden, he also went to the office to check on McGrady's recent injuries. His back was indeed injured last month, so it's no wonder he came to him.

Ankylosing spondylitis scoliosis, as the name suggests, is a spinal deformity.

This deformity will increase the pressure on the back and waist after bearing gravity. People with this disease even have a certain risk of paralysis when engaging in strenuous exercise.

So when his back was injured, his waist would also become uncomfortable.

The waist is the foundation for a person to stand. If the waist is uncomfortable, the whole body will be uncomfortable. If you feel uncomfortable, you will want to see a doctor.

But the disease was not serious enough to require surgery, so Thomas Clanton, who was an expert in surgery, was helpless?

If it were any other team, Jiang Ming would have treated it, but unfortunately this is his old team, the Rockets. The greater the rift between them in the past, the less likely they are to help now.

However, to show courtesy, he personally called McGrady's agent. The agent said McGrady was right next to him and handed it to McGrady directly.

Jiang Ming first asked whether he had not obtained the consent of Morey and the chief team doctor.

"Yeah, you know, if they knew, I definitely wouldn't be able to come to you for treatment. Just tell me how much it costs. No matter how much, I will come for treatment."

"I'm sorry, you should talk to your chief team doctor. I don't treat other teams' players during the season."

After hearing the tone that he only cared about spending money, Jiang Ming refused directly.

Of course, it is impossible for him to directly refuse by saying "I can't treat the Rockets' players". In name, he is asking you to find your chief team doctor.

If Mo Gou and Thomas Clanton knew about this later, they would probably criticize him and send him a lot of negative comments regardless of whether he was cured or not, and he didn't want to get into trouble.

He knows the Rockets too well. If he really wants to recruit McGrady to the clinic, he will definitely distort the truth and make it sound like Jiang Ming is "stealing business."

"Ah? Is that so?"

McGrady was stunned for a moment, but it seemed that Jiang Ming had not provided treatment to players from other teams this season.

"correct."

After Jiang Ming said this with such finality, McGrady's team had no choice but to give up.

However, McGrady himself did not give up, because he really had back pain, so he contacted his team friend YAO and asked him to talk to Jiang Ming for help, even if it was just to secretly ask Jiang Ming to fly to Houston to give him physical therapy.

He is worth billions, so Jiang Ming can just name any price he wants.

Yao Ming will naturally help with this:

"Doctor Jiang, please do me a small favor and give him acupuncture."

Jiang Ming and Dayao said it directly:
"My relationship with Rocket is destined to only help you a little, and you personally."

"You can't lend me your plaster either, you know? One reason is that you don't know how to use the right medicine for the right disease. Another reason is that the Rockets and the media can't blackmail you because you're Chinese. After all, I'm also a Chinese doctor and I won't harm you. But if you use it on someone else and something goes wrong, it's all my fault."

After some discussion, Yao Ming agreed with Jiang Ming's opinion.

Indeed, there are still many people in the Rockets who hate Jiang Ming, especially after he won this award, there are even more people who hate him, mainly because the Rockets once had, and it is even very likely that this clinic appeared in Houston.

That's why more and more people are annoyed by Jiang Ming's rise.

It would be fine if they didn't rise, but when they did, the Rockets were always the first to be criticized. These people tried every means to catch Jiang Minghei. If McGrady really treated him, wouldn't it be like delivering him to the door? And the most unsolvable thing is that this matter should have been reported to Morey and the team's medical staff.

But everyone knew that after saying that, it would be even more impossible for them to agree to let Jiang Ming treat McGrady.

After all, in Mo Gou's words, Jiang Ming is even a villain who betrayed the Rockets.

But McGrady was right, and he also used Dayao's face fruit. Jiang Ming still let Dayao give an explanation to his good brother:
"Avoid any movements that compress the spine during training.

This includes a lot of repetitive squats with weights that the players do.

Instead, McGrady needs to work hard to strengthen the muscles around his spine to ensure that they are strong enough to support and protect his fragile spine."

"Okay! Doctor Jiang, you are such a great person!"

Yao Ming in Houston almost burst into tears, this is so selfless!!!
"Also, as teammates, try not to blame him for his absent-minded dribbling and his lack of active saves. There may be nothing you can do about it."

Jiang Ming saw this a little bit when he was with the Rockets. It was most obvious in the fourth quarter. It can also be said that all basketball players with ankylosing spondylitis and scoliosis will have this symptom:
When we want to blame them for a mistake that shouldn't have happened on the court (for example, when McGrady broke through, his upper body was too straight, causing the unprotected ball to be hit by the opponent), we should first think about how much harm their physical pain has caused them.

But there is no other way, I can't force myself to bend over.

"Okay, I understand. We will encourage him to exercise more and recover soon."

"Okay, I hope you understand. It's not that I won't treat you!"

"I see. He has one less violation, and you have one less trouble. It's good for both of you."

Yao Ming looked stupid, but his IQ and EQ were both very high. He immediately conveyed Jiang Ming's words to McGrady in a logical and emotional way, which indirectly made him give up the idea of ​​looking for Jiang Ming again.

Agent Zhang Mingji just stood there staring and sighing, wondering how the hell the Rockets had to get involved with such an unlucky guy like Morey.

If only he stepped down and Thomas Clanton retired earlier, maybe the Rockets would really take off.

Or?

Will Yao Ming not be allowed to stay with the Rockets when his contract expires next time?
Anyway, there is even less hope for this season.

How could they not know what Jiang Ming and Oden already knew???
In addition, Jiang Ming said that McGrady’s current physical condition makes it impossible for him to even bend over, which is like cutting off one’s own arm.

So now McGrady is completely unsuitable to lead a team, let alone be the team leader. In fact, McGrady's best playing style now is to catch the ball on the wing and shoot. If he has unlimited one-on-one opportunities, the Rockets will be eliminated from the playoffs this season?

But unfortunately, Yao Ming's team has no say and can only watch Yao Ming waste another precious year.

The most amazing thing was that Jiang Ming treated Bosh of the Raptors with his backhand.

But Chris Bosh came directly to the door.

He was just short of knocking on Jiang Ming’s office door.

Bosh suffered a muscle strain after the Toronto Raptors defeated the Kings on the road, but he wants to play the next away game against the Spurs.

So with the unanimous agreement of the whole team, the special plane landed directly in Portland. The whole team rested in Portland for a day because of Bosh, and the purpose was naturally to let Bosh receive the legendary top physical therapy in the NBA.

After all, the Raptors' team doctor is not the Rockets' team doctor. They openly admit that Jiang Ming's traditional Chinese medicine therapy is indeed unique. Mainly, they recognize the value of this award and last year's championship therapist.

The Celtics' military medical staff has openly hired Jiang Ming, so it wouldn't be a shame for them to invite Jiang Ming for some physical therapy in the middle of the season!
Therefore, it would be good to let Bosh experience it, and it would be best if they could observe and learn at the same time.

Jiang Ming was stunned when he received the call from the clinic.

"Team Bosh sought treatment outside our clinic."

"Now?"

"Yes."

No?

Can you still play like this?

Jiang Ming suddenly stood up in the office.

Are you at the door yet?
Shit, I just told McGrady yesterday not to treat outside teams.
"Director? What's wrong?"

"Someone, come with me to the clinic tomorrow. There are patients."

"Ah?" Sean looked at Jiang Ming blankly, wondering if the clinic was not open for business and was not accepting patients?

"No way, the person is coming from Toronto."

How should I put it? Chinese medicine emphasizes that people who come from afar are all guests. Mainly because Jiang Ming subconsciously thought that they flew here from Toronto. It would be inappropriate for him to refuse them since they came all the way here, right?

So he had to go and check it out anyway. He was not the type of doctor who acted like a big shot, and he would not play the game of visiting someone three times, so he was ready to go and help right away.

Clinic tomorrow.

Surgical Clinic Room 104.

Now, every outpatient room in this hospital, which has been open for 8 years, has been cleaned and equipped with brand new furniture, making it look like a new clinic.

Bosh and a group of Raptors players were waiting quietly in the outpatient room.

After Jiang Ming changed into a white coat and walked in, he saw Bosh with taped shoulders and knees, doing some slow-motion rehabilitation exercises under the guidance of his team doctor.

But it's not in these two parts. Could it be that he is testing himself to see what's wrong with him?
"Did you pull a muscle?"

Sean, on the other hand, asked directly, and the Dragon King's eyes, which were already big, suddenly widened even wider:
"correct."

The Raptors' team manager stroked his beard and felt better. Jiang Ming's subordinates could see it at a glance, so couldn't Jiang Ming just do some simple physical therapy?
Jiang Ming sat at the consultation desk and asked them the purpose of their visit with a smile. After all, this was the first patient in the clinic tomorrow, so smiling service was essential.

But the next second, Bosh and his agent also started talking at the same time. These black guys have really loud voices.

"Only Bosh and his agent will stay. The others can go out and wait."

As a result, Jiang Ming didn't hear a word and drove everyone out.

He also placed a handkerchief he carried with him on the table and asked Bosh to place his left and right hands on it in turn so that he could feel Bosh's pulse.

Bosh put it on with surprise and explained his purpose. Just for this pulse diagnosis, it was worth his trip!
It was indeed the right decision, because Jiang Ming directly pointed out a problem that he and his team had never expected or discovered:
"Dragon King Bosh, there's something wrong with your blood."

When Jiang Ming used his middle finger, index finger and ring finger to press the pulse of his left hand, his brows furrowed.
The left hand represents the heart, liver, and kidneys. However, no matter when Jiang Ming asked Bosh to relax or spoke calmly, he could feel that the blood flow was not smooth enough, the beating was too fast, and the qi and blood were a little too abundant?
This has nothing to do with muscle strain.

"Ah??? Director Jiang must save me!!!"

PS: Later, because of Bosh's increasingly serious blood problem, no team dared to take him, so he was forced to retire in his prime.
