NBA: The best team doctor in history

Chapter 185: Scalpers are regulated, and the 185 regular season ends

Originally, Jiang Ming was going to go to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department to prepare plasters, but after observing the training, he called the clinic's intern Chinese medicine practitioner to do the preparation of plasters.

Seeing that Ibaka and White Chocolate both vomited during training, he was also worried about the other players and prepared to treat them one by one. He would rather waste his time than leave any hidden dangers for the players.

There is nothing wrong with training hard. Which professional athlete doesn't make a living by training diligently and breaking through oneself?

But there really is a limit to training.

He didn't expect that after he and the team executives had discussed a system of rotating rest for players in the final stages of the season, the players and trainers would spontaneously train so hard.

Jiang Ming really couldn't stand watching such physically harmful training.

So he rushed directly to the lounge to see if Bai Chocolate was really nauseous and retching because of leg training. Jiang Muyan nodded in approval behind him, and she also wanted to suggest that they should first check the specific situation of Bai Chocolate.

After all, White Chocolate is the oldest veteran in the team. He has suffered a lot of injuries before, and it is very likely that his injuries will relapse due to high-intensity training.

Jiang Ming's eyes swept over Bai Qiao, who had recovered his strength after eating a banana. It was he who first caused the problem when he returned to the Trail Blazers from China last time. After recuperation, his subscapularis muscle has fully recovered and there is no muscle adhesion anymore.

Bai Qiao's situation is much better than Ibaka's now. He is now playing NBA 2009 game in the locker room.

When he saw Jiang Ming coming, he felt embarrassed as if he had been caught playing secretly:
"Doctor Jiang, you always surprise me."

"Your figure wasn't good the last time you showed it to so many girls."

"Haha, okay, very good." After Jiang Ming glared at her, Bai Qiao obediently took off her pants, exposing her right knee.

He had surgery to repair a torn knee ligament while with the Heat, so he needed to train his legs.

Now White Chocolate's right knee, which had undergone surgery before, is wrapped in a thick bandage, so the knee is well protected when he trains his legs.

Jiang Ming motioned for him to stand up, took out a mat, and asked him to perform ladder-climbing movements continuously on the mat.

Bai Qiao did as he was told, while Jiang Ming supported his hips and watched as the ligaments in his knees stretched and retracted like rubber bands every time he lifted his legs and put his feet down.

It is true that the right leg appears to be worse, it turns out that I have over-exercised.

After the torn ligament is repaired through surgery, collagen fibers will grow back, which have very different properties from the original elastic fibers.

Under today's high-intensity training, problems are likely to arise when fatigue factors such as lactic acid and ammonia accumulate excessively.

In fact, Liu Xiang and others are suitable for this kind of training, because their track and field events require high-intensity training to break limits and improve performance.

But basketball requires endurance, and suddenly increasing the intensity of training at the end of the season will only harm the body.

Fortunately, veteran Bai Qiao knew how strong his body was and gave up first.

"Okay, keep playing. Don't do any strength training except for competitions recently." Jiang Ming handed the game controller to Bai Qiao and motioned him to continue.

"Okay! Thank you, Director Jiang!"

After taking his pulse, we found that there was indeed no other reason. It was indeed the leg training that caused his health problems, and vomiting was a stress response.

"But I want to ask, why do I have a vomiting reaction? I'm not a woman. This has never happened to me before."

"I'm just old." Jiang Ming joked, but then gave a scientific explanation.

Feeling like vomiting after leg training may be caused by lack of water in the body, excessive exercise, hypoglycemia, hypoxemia, insufficient blood supply to the brain, etc.

White chocolate this is there for all reasons besides low blood sugar.

Lack of water in the body: After leg training, you may sweat a lot, causing water loss in the body and symptoms such as vomiting and dizziness.

This situation is generally normal and does not require special treatment. Just drink enough water.

Too much exercise: If the intensity of leg exercise is too high, it may cause abnormal gastrointestinal motility, resulting in symptoms such as nausea and vomiting.

In this case, you need to pay attention to rest, avoid excessive fatigue, and reduce the amount of exercise.

Hypoxemia: If hypoxemia occurs after leg training, the patient will not be able to breathe enough fresh air and may experience symptoms such as dizziness and vomiting.

It is recommended to breathe fresh air in time to help relieve the symptoms of nausea.

So when Jiang Ming asked Bai Qiao to go to the lounge and eat a banana, he used all the relief methods at once.

Insufficient blood supply to the brain: When exercising the legs, the blood circulation in the lower limbs may be relatively fast, causing insufficient blood supply to the brain, inducing gastrointestinal discomfort, and causing symptoms of vomiting.

So after returning to the office, Jiang Ming prescribed some rosuvastatin calcium tablets for Bai Qiao to help lower blood lipids and improve blood circulation.

"This is professionalism. I really have to admit my age." Bai Qiao sighed.

But how could a chicken soup master like Jiang Ming make him emo? Bai Qiao stopped thinking about it immediately after hearing this:

"No matter how tired you are, your physical condition is much better than mine, and I am many years younger than you."

"Hey, Director Jiang, don't work too hard. Remember to take care of your health!"

Later, Fang Xiaotong rolled her eyes at Jiang Ming. If Jiang Ming was really as bad as she said, how could he play for so long and change so many positions at night?
Then Jiang Ming went to the gym again and found that everyone was no longer doing strength training. Instead, they were doing stretching and recovery training. Some of them even practiced the Five Animal Exercises to relax their body and mind.

But after Jiang Ming took their pulses one by one, he found that most of them had health problems of varying degrees.

Of course, it may not just be caused by today's high-intensity training, but also because at this point in the season, even Iron Man's body would be overloaded.

There are 82 games, during which the All-Star Weekend gives us 7 days of rest, and the rest of the time we have is only 1-2 days. And if we play consecutive away games, we have no rest time at all.

In addition, players nowadays are so dedicated that they all want to play in full attendance and get the attendance bonus in the contract, but doctors like Jiang Ming actually don't want them to do that.

It feels like overdrawing one's career. Whether it's a 20-year-old rookie or a 26-year-old player in his prime, everyone either has weak Qi and blood, or has muscle tension and joint wear.
"My suggestion is that everyone can lie on the sofa with their legs raised up and watch a movie on their phone today. Aren't the recent Marvel movies very good? You can take a break."

It is true that the NBA has the world's top trainers with rich experience in player management.

However, no matter how rich the experience is, it is not as good as the observation, smell, questioning and palpation of an old Chinese medicine practitioner like Jiang Ming. His hands seem to be able to penetrate the bodies of athletes and can accurately sense the results of their bodies that can only be shown by X-rays and CT scans.

Finally, it was discovered whether their bodies had reached their limits after completing that group of training. But to be honest, we can't blame them.

Because the training intensity of the current trainers and the players during Jensen's tenure as head team doctor has always been so high, and Jensen has always believed that the greater the intensity, the stronger the training.

You can tell from the puzzled expressions of many players and personal trainers that they have been training players this way for the past few years and it is no problem at all for them.

Most of these people were athletes in the 1980s and 1990s. Jensen's sports therapy is also too unscientific. No matter how high the medical level is, it will be useless if your training method does not keep up.

People of their generation just like big muscles like Admiral and Postman Malone, and Malone and his ilk have always believed that as long as they don't die from training, they should train to death.

But this was actually meant for the lazy athletes who had an imperfect team doctor system and trainer system at that time.

Now the NBA has so many black technologies, and the supporting facilities are so complete after commercialization. Many athletes can gain muscle if they want to, and lose weight immediately if they want to, after entering the NBA. The trainers and medical levels are developing synchronously.

Therefore, players of this era don’t need to be scolded by tough guys, the team will lead you to reach perfection on the court, and there are a lot of people serving these 15 players on the roster.

The changes can be seen from the reactions of modern players. This is no longer the era when we can be ruthless on our own.

If Ibaka had vomited like this 10 years ago, he would definitely be called a pampered wimp. What stage is he at now? He's already vomiting?

But although we still admire tough guys on the court, we pay more attention to scientific body management off the court. The health management of players has become more and more important and scientific.

The best team here may be Kobe and James' team. Their technology is more advanced and sophisticated than their own team doctors. But I also heard that they use drugs, but their performance on the court is definitely not as good as theirs if they use drugs alone. It can only be said that health management has reached its limit and this is what they are like.

The Trail Blazers don’t pay much attention to these things, but now Jiang Ming is also “intervening” and paying attention to them.

The team's medical team not only treats illnesses, but also prevents injuries in advance! Do a good job of health management!
The players sighed for a long time after watching Jiang Ming busying around:
"Director Jiang is so awesome now that he's the vice president."

"He is just so awesome. He corrects everything he sees."

"respcet!! If the season hadn't ended yet, I would have really wanted to drink a sip of Ripper to thank Director Jiang!"

"The greatest thank you is that you can play well!"

"Yeah, if we go further in the playoffs, he'll get more dividends, right?"

Originally, the players had always felt bad about asking Jiang Ming for free treatment. After all, Jiang Ming's registration fee at the Tomorrow Clinic had been driven up to a sky-high price by scalpers, and they could get free treatment anytime and anywhere, so they always felt embarrassed not to pay some medical fees.

Now I feel much more relieved when I think that Jiang Ming still owns 20.5% of the Trail Blazers' shares. The further they go in the playoffs, the more Jiang Ming will earn!
The second thing Jiang Ming did after dealing with the team affairs was to go to the entrance of Mingtian Clinic to resolve the recent scalper incident.

He was still thinking too idealistically.

The time that the clinic is running tomorrow has proved one thing, that is, there are only so many doctors and it is impossible to get an appointment. Instead, it is a bargain for scalpers who are familiar with grabbing appointments.

Not to mention the registration fee of several dozen US dollars, it has been driven up to several thousand US dollars by scalpers and sold to some wealthy high-ranking officials. As for how Jiang Ming found out, it was because he suddenly noticed that all his recent patients were well-dressed and wearing designer clothes.

After asking a random patient, I realized how rampant scalpers are.

This also made Jiang Ming very angry, because as a Chinese, he hated scalpers the most.

Because in China, there are scalpers for everything, including train tickets, performance tickets, and even the ranking numbers for buying a house and taking a driver's license test in advance. It's simply nonsense, and Jiang Ming has also suffered a lot from it.

There are scalpers everywhere in the hospital for expert appointments, but Jiang Ming never thought that this would happen to him. The area around his clinic in Portland is vast and sparsely populated, so the situation is different. It is impossible for there to be so many patients from China.

But the fact is that more and more people come here because of its reputation, and there are really so many patients.

Because of this, Jiang Ming also knows how difficult it is to crack down on scalpers, and he can also guess that there must be people inside who are colluding with the scalpers, otherwise there wouldn't be so many and so obvious cases recently, which means that the chance of ordinary patients getting an appointment with him is extremely low.

But he hadn't thought of deliberately finding this person. He would just punish him severely once he was discovered naturally. As for the method of severe punishment, he would write it in the clinic's rules to serve as a warning to others.

Because when you eliminate one of these things, another will pop up. The interests involved are too huge, and you can make thousands of dollars with just a little effort. No one can resist this temptation.

So in addition to the severe punishments for scalping behaviors written into the clinic's rules, Jiang Ming also used the most primitive method, which was to send someone at the registration office to watch those who came to register in front of a camera.

Some patients can be seen as genuine patients at a glance, but those who come to register multiple times are definitely suspicious. The scalpers who are caught will be directly handed over to the local authorities.

It seems that more than half of the patients coming to Tomorrow's Clinic are surgical patients, that is, they are "missing limbs", which can be seen.

This is equivalent to artificial facial recognition. When the facial recognition system developed by Microsoft becomes popular, I will definitely install one in my own clinic, so that patients who come to see patients frequently can be directly identified.

Then we will also arrange for a reliable employee to visit the registration hall on site. After all, there will be too limited doctors in the clinic tomorrow. If we see a patient who has not been able to get an appointment for several days, we can make an exception and give him an appointment.

Of course, this employee is very critical. Jiang Ming chose to let people from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department and Thomas Reese's Department take turns to avoid one party having too much power. He also made an exception and asked about the injury status in advance for those who were given numbers.

The last trick he used was what he saw at Dongli Hospital in the past, which was that each patient could only make one appointment with a specialist each day, and the ID could not be used multiple times nor could they make multiple appointments with other clinics. This would be very useful for a small clinic like his.

Otherwise, many big shots would come up and take the appointments of every expert in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and then sell them. Wouldn't that make the operation faster?

Letting him queue up again and change his ID number would at least slow things down a bit.
"There's only so much we can do. We need to ask Mr. Paul to work harder and use some high-tech technology. A strong real-name system that combines the person and the ID card would be better."

After Jiang Ming finished the meeting against scalpers, he rushed to the emergency room to treat a few patients, because the playoffs would start and he might have even less time to come to the clinic.

In every playoff game, regardless of whether the team has a rule requiring him to follow the team, he will follow the team throughout.

Only by keeping your original intention in mind can you achieve your goal!

The first reason for coming to work in the United States is to watch football!

This year, we must go further!

2 week later.

With the Trail Blazers defeating the Hornets 122:112 in the last game, they finally ranked third in the Western Conference with a record of 54 wins and 28 losses!

The closing game ended 2 hours later, and the Nuggets ultimately failed to make the breakthrough and finished fourth.

The Trail Blazers' first-round playoff opponent is also announced immediately!
