NBA: The best team doctor in history

Chapter 192: Jet smashes into fire hydrant, emergency treatment

"What's going on? Talk as we walk."

"The Jet smashed his hand and now it's bleeding."

"Robert, bring the medical kit and come with me."

"it is good!"

Jiang Ming and his companions followed the press officer in a hurry and arrived at the visiting team's players' channel.

Then I saw Jason Terry covering his left hand with a towel with a ferocious expression, and the blood had dyed the towel red.

It's Terry.

The reporters took a lot of photos of Terry and the fire hydrant next to him.

"Don't have too many people standing there. Open the towels and we'll bandage them right away."

At this time, there is no distinction between the home and visiting team players. The main visiting team, the Mavericks, has a team doctor who is now going to find his own medical box.

Jiang Ming's side was more efficient. Robert quickly went up to inquire about the situation, and Jiang Ming also learned from the press officer that after the loss, Terry, who was still inefficient, was defeated.

Before returning to the locker room, he was so angry that he smashed the fire hydrant with his hand on the way to the player's tunnel, causing his left hand to be pierced by glass.

"It's not too deep."

Jiang Ming glanced at Terry's bloody wound and comforted him, saying that it would be a big problem if the nerves were damaged.

If an ordinary person breaks a fire-proof glass with one punch, a broken finger would be the least severe case.

but,

In Terry's current situation, he will definitely miss the important third game.

If it was his own player, Jiang Ming would definitely be furious and yell:
are you stupid???
There is gas on the court, why vent it on the fire hydrant?

Cerebral palsy?

This is such a failure at the critical moment.

indeed.

After Terry was simply bandaged by Robert, he didn't dare to raise his head when he met his team doctor and Cuban who came after hearing the news.

Mavericks owner Mark Cuban rolled his eyes in silence for a moment, but he is also a smart boss. Now that this has happened, it is useless to say anything, and no amount of scolding can change the facts.

So he just said a few words of comfort, thanked Jiang Ming and the other man, then took Terry away.

At this time, the Trail Blazers staff could only say that they wanted to celebrate but felt it was not ethical.

Because at this time there is no need for the doctor to say anything, and there is no need to wait for the Mavericks to release news. Anyone with a discerning eye, or anyone who has suffered this kind of cut from a sharp object, knows that in this case you must rest for more than a week and wait for the wound to scab over!

So even if Game 3 is in Dallas two days later, no matter how good the medical treatment is, it cannot go against the body's own repair ability.

"Terry will definitely not play in Game 3."

“This whole series has been difficult.”

"I had to rest for a week before playing basketball even though I had a puncture wound on my finger."

"You didn't see how much skin he had broken. He forced the ball to break open on the spot."

But in fact, there are still many such players in the NBA.

Isn't it that the white chocolate at home hurt himself while bowling during the All-Star weekend.

For example, at Christmas last year, a substitute player of the Nuggets was severely bitten by a dog on the face and hands and had to leave the team temporarily.

The face and right hand for shooting were severely bitten by dogs, and a total of 21 stitches were needed on the wounds. The most outrageous example is that this has happened several times in the NBA, and they were all bitten by guard dogs such as Rottweilers and Malinois.

There was also a Warriors player who pinched his right index finger when closing the car door, and his index finger was directly fractured.

Of course, before Jiang Ming became the team doctor, he knew the most outrageous case, which was Bird's back injury aggravated by road construction. You have to know that Bird only played 13 seasons in his career, which is a very regrettable thing.

Back injury became the Achilles heel of "Big Bird". During one offseason, Bird personally built a road in front of his mother's garage door without asking anyone for help.

However, while moving stones, his back injury suddenly worsened. This injury even affected his career, and he retired hastily after only a few years.

This is the most serious case for Big Bird, and it is also what makes capitalists most angry. You build the road and ask us to pay to hire people. If it really doesn't work, the boss can build it for you personally. Why do you spend your energy on steel bars and concrete when you make a living with your body?
Fortunately, Michael Jordan.

In January 1999, Jordan, who had retired for the second time, accidentally cut his right index finger while cutting a cigar at home. This injury directly led to tendon damage to Jordan.

Bulls owner Reinsdorf later said that the Bulls had a chance to persuade Jordan to come back, but after Jordan injured his finger, their desire to persuade Jordan to come back was shattered.

But at least Jordan was still able to play later.

Former Cavaliers player Drew Gooden also missed the game because of a skin infection. The reason he gave at the time was that he was bitten by a spider, but obviously this statement is untenable!
Later, the media revealed that it turned out that Gooden accidentally scratched his skin while shaving his legs, causing a skin infection! Such luck, really amazing.

Radmanovic, who transferred to the Los Angeles Lakers a few years ago, violated league regulations and went to the ski resort to ski without permission. As a result, he fell and broke his bones while skiing.

In response, he lied to the team and told them that he had fallen accidentally.

After investigation, the truth came to light.

Not only did Radmanovic miss several games due to injury, he was also fined $50 by the team, and he was nicknamed "Skiing Man" because of this.

There was also a person who fell in the shower and ruptured his Achilles tendon and was out for the season. Of course, there were also rumors that it was done by local gangs, but the team helped find an excuse.

There were also injuries from being cut by a fruit knife, fractures from doing push-ups, and African players who couldn't bear to eat a stale sandwich.
This is a very painful situation.

In this situation, you can't scold the players, but the management and coaching staff must be extremely annoyed.

The above are all due to the players' own reasons, and some are just bad luck and cannot be blamed on the players.

If most of the previous injuries were caused by human factors, then the following cases that Jiang Ming knew about could only be described as "unexpected misfortunes."

Francisco Garcia of the Kings broke his right wrist during a weightlifting training during this year's regular season and was out for several months.

He was lying on a fitness ball for training at the time. The fitness ball, which was said to "never explode", suddenly exploded, causing Garcia to be thrown to the ground and his right wrist to be fractured.

For this reason, the King also filed a lawsuit against the manufacturer of the fitness ball, claiming $400 million.

In February of this year, Landry, who played for the Rockets, drove out to buy midnight snacks. As a result, his car was hit and stopped by an unknown man on the road. Landry got out of the car to check the situation, and the other party suddenly fired two shots at Landry.

Fortunately, the two shots only hit Landry's calf and no vital parts.

In the end, Landry ran away desperately and avoided suffering greater harm.

What's even more bizarre is that the man later admitted that he had no personal grudge against Landry and it was just a dark and windy night and he mistook him for the wrong person.

Jiang knew about this because after the Landry shooting incident, many Yao Ming's fans in Chinatown in the United States secretly protected Yao Ming for several days, fearing that Yao Ming would also be targeted.

This is so fucking outrageous!

In the 1994-95 season, the night before the Suns' regular season opener, Barkley went to see the concert of rock star Eric Clapton+. He was just going to relax, but he never thought that an accident would happen.

At the time, Barkley was applying hand cream on his hands.

The lights of the concert happened to shine on Buckley's position. Because the lights were too dazzling, Buckley rubbed his eyes unconsciously.

As a result, the hand cream was accidentally rubbed into the eyes and burned the cornea.

It took Buckley about three weeks to heal from the corneal burns, but the most bizarre thing about this case was Buckley's hand cream.

I didn't expect that a big and strong man like Barkley could actually have a delicate side. As Yao Ming's main substitute, Chuck Hayes left a deep impression on fans with his 1-meter-tall body and tough defense.

However, the "tough guy" Hai Ye also faced moments when his life was on the line.

During the 2006 offseason, Hayes participated in a charity softball game organized by his teammate McGrady.

During a timeout, Hayes, feeling thirsty, went to the water dispenser to drink water, but unexpectedly the dispenser malfunctioned and there was a power leak.

Hayes, who was unaware of this, was electrocuted and fainted. He was then rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment.

Fortunately, the electricity was not very strong and Hayes was strong enough, so he was rescued.

From then on, there were no more electric water dispensers at the back of all games in the United States. Instead, there was a water tank filled with bottles of mineral water.

Injuries caused by sleeping are probably one of the most bizarre injuries, and it is almost unheard of.

Such a strange thing happened to Celtics center Perkins. One night, he was sleeping and his bed suddenly collapsed. Normally, the bed collapsed.

It’s not like he can sleep on the upper bunk, so the chances of getting hurt aren’t that high.

But sometimes, fate plays tricks on us, and a board hit Perkins' toe, causing him to miss several games due to injury.

So Jiang Ming's team is not surprised by Terry's injury, they just feel it's a pain in the ass. Don't knock on our fire hydrant. People who don't know might think something has happened. The fans at the scene will definitely exaggerate the loud noise when they hear it.

And
Fire hydrants are expensive!
The next day.

After returning to Dallas, the Mavericks officially released the player's injury status and truthfully stated what happened to Terry in the player tunnel last night.

It clearly stated: He smashed the fire hydrant with his own hands, and the Trail Blazers team doctor assisted in emergency bandaging, and he is now fine.

Directly dispelled rumors such as Terry and Kidd fighting in the tunnel and hitting a fire hydrant, and being thrown a knife by fans.
There are no serious illnesses, but there are still some minor ones.

While Mavericks fans were thankful that nothing was wrong, the injury report was updated immediately:

"Jason Terry is expected to miss a week due to a scratched hand."

The sky is falling! ! !

This is the playoffs!
That’s not all. Terry also paid compensation to the Trail Blazers for damaging public facilities at the Trail Blazers’ home court.

Let’s put things in perspective and compensate where necessary.

Terry tweeted a brief message:

"Sorry."

As soon as the official report of this matter came out, the fans all had question marks on their faces.

"Why bother? We, the Trail Blazers, don't want to win the series this way."

"Yeah, I still hope that everyone will be healthy and play together in the playoffs."

"What a pity! The Mavericks have been defeated."

"Kid, give me some strength!"

"To be honest, both Jasons are not very good, but Terry is more irritable and self-blaming, haha."

"I was saying that some people said that Trail Blazers doctor Robert hit Terry with a fire hydrant. Where did this rumor come from?"

“The charm of journalism.”

After 1 days.

The Trail Blazers came to Dallas to prepare for Game 3. The wind in Texas was still very cold. After Jiang Ming put on a coat and got off the plane, he found that someone was there to pick him up.

You could also say that he was waiting for me.

It was none other than Zhang Mingji.

Because the Rockets are right next to the Mavericks, it is very convenient for Zhang Mingji to come over and meet them.

"Brother Zhang? What's wrong? Shouldn't you be with Dayao? Is he injured?"

Jiang Ming was stunned. Could it be that Yao Ming was injured?

"Hey, it's a long story. Do you have time to find a place to chat now?"

"Wait until I get to the hotel and put my stuff away, and then find a cafe."

“Okay, no problem, I’ll order in advance.”

Jiang Ming will stay in Dallas for four days this time, so he has more luggage than usual.

By the time he arrived at the coffee shop, Zhang Mingji had already placed his order and paid.

Jiang Ming picked up the cappuccino to warm his hands, and began to listen to Zhang Mingji's chatter.

The Rockets also returned to their home court to prepare for G3, and regained the home advantage in G2.

Although the Rockets are now tied 1-1 with the Nuggets, they rely on Yao Ming in every game.

The Nuggets' defense is top-notch in the Western Conference, except that they can't defend Yao Ming in the interior.

In this situation, Adelman fucked Yao Ming to death, playing 42 minutes in the first game and 45 minutes in the second game just for victory. He is a 2-meter tall guy.

So Zhang Mingji is very annoyed now. Looking at Yao Ming's swollen knees and sore muscles, he is really afraid that Yao Ming will suffer a serious injury.

However, Jiang Ming was far away and could not provide Yao Ming with physical therapy in time.

"You mean you want me to give Dayao physical therapy now?"

Jiang Ming also understood the meaning of his words.

“Uh, not really.”

Zhang Mingji naturally found it difficult to say this. After all, the Trail Blazers were also playing in the playoffs, and as the team doctor, how could Jiang Ming treat other players at this time?

And what if, what if the Rockets meet the Trail Blazers again in the West?

However, Dallas is too close to Houston, and both he and Yao Ming trust Jiang Ming very much. As long as Jiang Ming goes there for a massage to relax, maybe Yao Ming can return to his best form?

So he asked boldly.

But this time Jiang Ming declined:

"Forget about going to Houston. I can't send anyone there. We are all team doctors for the Trail Blazers. Sorry."

Jiang Ming understood this principle very clearly. Just kidding, if he really went to Houston, what would be the difference between that and betraying the Trail Blazers.

"What if I bring Yao Ming here?" Zhang Mingji asked awkwardly.

"I suggest not to. First, we have 15 players on our team and we can't provide them with physical therapy. Also, what will the Rockets' medical staff think?"

Jiang Ming also rejected this suggestion, which caused even more controversy.

He could say that he went to Houston for the players of his own country, but it is hard to justify Yao Ming coming here. He would only do such a thing if he had a falling out with the team's medical staff.

So he jokingly avoided the subject:

"Yao's contract is about to expire, so he won't have this trouble if he comes to our Trail Blazers, haha."
