NBA: The best team doctor in history

Chapter 194: An old horse knows the way, Roy makes a buzzer-beater with a 194-pointer in the final seconds!

"The old Spurs know the way, and they will tell these young people why we are evergreens!"

"Haha, I guess the pioneers are going to be taught a lesson."

"The Trail Blazers are too young. The Spurs have a very good lineup right now. They won't be like the Mavericks who have no one available."

"Yeah, with Manu's comeback, I just know that no one can stop the Spurs except the Lakers. After all, the Yellow Mamba is not the Black Mamba, and he is still a little immature."

"The pioneers tear everything apart!"

"The Trail Blazers are defeated! The Spurs crush everything!"

"Just asking, can your Trail Blazers beat the Hornets by 58 points?"

"Damn it, we Blazers have martial ethics. If we win by 30 points, we won't kill anyone again, okay?"

"Spurs: I don't want to either. Our main players didn't play a single minute in the fourth quarter. Our substitutes are too balanced!"

Fans of both sides were arguing fiercely in the forum, but in fact, because both sides had a smooth first round, both sides were full of confidence.

Indeed, even in the game that the opponent won, the game did not go to the last minute. Overall, these two series were very dull.

It's not even as intense as the series between the No. 1 and No. 8 in the Western Conference.

You know, there is a spark-lightning collision between the Lakers and the Jazz. Today, the Lakers just won the decisive game. The Salt Lake City Jazz is really a strong army.

The match between the Nuggets and the Rockets was truly a showdown between the outside and the inside, and neither side was willing to give in.

However, the second round of the Spurs vs. Trail Blazers is definitely exciting, with veterans playing against newcomers, the second against the third, and with a coach like Popovich, it would be strange if it wasn't exciting.

But we should celebrate because the second round will start in three days. After the game, all the players held a locker room interview to express their happiness. After all, more than half of the players made it to the Western Conference semifinals for the first time.

The funniest interview was ESPN's live interview with Trail Blazers legend Drexler:

"What do you think of this Blazers team right now? Can they keep going?"

Glider Drexler was outspoken enough to say directly on the spot:

"Of course! I feel this class of pioneers is the strongest one!"

"But I want to add one more thing. If we had such good logistical support at that time, we would probably have won the championship."

After these words were spoken, the Trail Blazers media were all stunned and quickly moved on to the next topic.

How many true words are said in such a joking form.

It can be seen that Lao Hua is really envious. Can all the players play in the playoffs in good health?
Is this a pioneer?
If he hadn't come to watch the game today, he wouldn't have believed that the Trail Blazers' Sima team of doctors could get the players in such good shape!
He was one of the players who were seriously harmed by the Trail Blazers' veterinarian. If all the players of the Trail Blazers were healthy at that time, they could really reach the Western Conference Finals. They were all veteran OG All-Stars.

But because Jensen's team made the stars play on and off at that time, the morale of the players was weakened.

So he really envied the fact that they now had such an excellent team of doctors.

Generally, these old-timers will only say things that respect the past and despise the present, such as "You may seem okay now, but in my opinion, you still need to practice something."

But Drexler not only praised the current players, but also the current team medical staff.

According to the narration:

"It shows how much this guy hated the previous team doctor, haha."

After the interview, Glider also stepped into the door of the Trail Blazers' infirmary for the first time after his retirement, wanting to see what changes had been made to the current team's medical staff.

He wanted to see what magic medicine had brought about such a big change in the team. If it were in the past, by now the team would have suffered injuries to two main players.

As a result, he found that apart from the addition of two offices and a larger venue, the equipment had not changed and was still the same as when he was there.

There is nothing special about the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine. In his opinion, there are no equipment, only bottles and jars. It's just that the smell of this kind of Chinese medicine is the most special.

When Glider saw the bald Jensen in the medical equipment room, he turned around immediately, but Jensen called him:

"Don't worry, I'm not the chief anymore, and I have no right to tell you what to do. Come on, you're tired of watching the game, let me show you how to use cupping!"

It has to be said that the power of the Jensen era is still there. You have to know that in front of the most irritable Jensen at that time, no matter how big the star was, he could not complain and could only obey his treatment.

Doctors like Jiang Ming can challenge him with their professionalism, but the players know nothing. They can only listen to the medical advice of the doctors around them who look the most professional. If they don't listen, they will become troublemakers.

Although Drexler was extremely dissatisfied with Jensen, he still went to the infirmary obediently and was treated as a guinea pig by Jensen for cupping.

But this time the memory of death did not awaken me again, and I felt refreshed after cupping on my back.

Jensen:

"This is a set of bamboo jars given to me by Director Jiang. You are my first experimenter. How is it?"

"OK"

Glider was confused, thinking, why didn't you tell me this earlier? You are trying to trick me again!

However, when Glider went to the office to chat with Jiang Ming, he was gone. After the game, he gave the players physical therapy and then went out with them for a midnight snack to celebrate.

At night, he also had his own moment of love. Jiang Muyan and Fang Xiaotong, who were equally happy, had already put on their uniforms and props, waiting for their master to return.
This made Jiang Ming think, why not invite Liyang to watch the game when they play against the Spurs? ? ?
Four of us can just play mahjong together!

But the celebration was only temporary, as everyone came to work on time on their own initiative the next morning.

All Trail Blazers players know that the first round of the playoffs is no longer their goal.

Their goal this year has been set since Paul Allen's shareholders meeting at the start of the season, and that is the divisional finals.

Don’t aim for the finals, just take it step by step.

The goal is the divisional finals!

After all, this is the law of nature. How can a team whose juniors and sophomores are its star players go straight to the championship stage?

Some experiences and lessons can only be gained through repeated playoff trials, which are what Roy, Oden, and Aldridge do not have.

After all, these three players did not perform particularly stably in the first round.

As for a true playoff superstar like Nowitzki, he can find a way to defeat the opponent in every game no matter how they defend, and he can contribute his points steadily.

Not to mention the Spurs' GDP trio.

So everyone just had a great night. It was said that Ibaka, who had the greatest demand, was also very frugal and only ordered 3. He also resolutely did not touch alcohol or any auxiliary blue pills or anything like that. He just touched and sang, indulged himself a little, and then took a rest.

Jiang Ming agreed with this.

These players are all young and energetic fresh forces. They cannot suppress their physical needs like those people in the No-Porn Forum. Suppressing their physical needs will only affect their condition on the court.

Find a woman when it's time to do so, so you can focus more on the court.

Otherwise, if you've been depressed for a week or a month, you probably won't be able to take your eyes off the beautiful cheerleaders on the court.

Not to mention the female fans who came close to me.

Whether it is cheerleading or female fans, it is a taboo in NBA teams. I haven't seen Kobe's "beautiful example". Today, Jiang Ming came to prepare the medicinal materials he asked for from San Antonio, and on the other hand, he also attended the meeting to listen to the management and coaching staff's response to the experienced Spurs.

When passing by the video room, he found that the players were watching the video tape of their first round against the Hornets in order to target their next opponent. This made Jiang Ming very happy, as this is what a strong team should look like.

Larry Miller's conference revolved around one theme: experience.

Why the Trail Blazers' goal this season is the conference finals.

It's because they lack too much experience compared to teams like the Spurs and Lakers.

Whether it's the tricks on and off the court or the on-the-spot experience, they "understand" much more than the Trail Blazers players.

For example, when should you say something nice to the referee and when should you curse at the referee?
Also, seeing that Oden didn't say anything, I guess the Spurs are trying to mess with him with some small tricks. It's also something they often do to mess with the players' mentality and force them to leave the court.

To play against the Mavericks' lineup, they can just crush them with their strength, but the Spurs can't do that.

Among the Trail Blazers, White Chocolate may be the most ferocious player.

But the Spurs have the league's number one villain, Bruce Bowen.

The Spurs have always liked to do some tricks in the playoffs to help them win.

Who can forget the conflict in 07?

That conflict can be said to have directly changed the league's landscape, and it also caused Suns fans and Spurs fans to curse each other with red eyes whenever they met.

When Nash was a commentator this year, he also talked about the fourth game against the Spurs in the 06-07 playoffs. He thought that game was the most painful loss he had ever experienced. He said:
"In Game 2007 of the 4 Western Conference semifinals, I was intentionally intercepted by Robert Horry and pushed into a billboard on the sidelines.

Amar'e Stoudemire and Boris Diaw walked onto the court for just a few moments because of each other's action.

We won the game, but our two big guys were suspended.

In Game 5 we had to play Shawn Marion at center.

We were leading that game until the last minute.

But in the end, we still lost the game.

This is probably the worst failure ever.”

All NBA fans know what happened next. The Spurs defeated the Suns 4-1 and eventually swept the Cavaliers 4-0 in the finals to win the NBA championship that year.

In fact, many fans still believe that if Dio and Stoudemire had not been suspended, the Suns would have had a good chance of defeating the Spurs and even winning the championship that year.

That was also the closest Nash had ever been to a championship. If it weren't for Horry's collision, Nash might not have been championshipless for the rest of his life.

Because of this, many Suns fans still hate the Spurs and Horry, believing that their off-court tactics are too dirty.

"Beware of external attacks from below. Our team medical team and logistics staff must always be prepared for emergencies."

"No problem, we will check the equipment and food given to us by the Spurs home court."

Jiang Ming nodded. Although he felt that strength represented everything and everything was decided on the court, this kind of necessary precaution was also something that logistics workers like them had to guard against.

This is also the reason why the players were not invited to this meeting.

The players just need to play well on the court, and leave the rest to us!

Of course, the Spurs' own strength is enough to give the Trail Blazers a hard time.

When Jiang Ming followed the coaching staff and discussed the Spurs, he realized what a terrifying team they were.

Fans familiar with the Spurs know that in the GDP era, this team has never missed the playoffs. During this period, they won the NBA championship four times, bringing their most glorious moments to the small city of San Antonio.

The 21st century has only been going on for 9 years and they have already won 3 championships!

In this season's regular season, the Spurs only played 44 games due to injury. The Spurs "barely" got a record of 54 wins and 28 losses, ranking second in the Western Conference. Therefore, the Spurs are second in the Western Conference because they have injured their main players.

Don't underestimate Manu, he is the real god of the Spurs.

Jiang Ming agreed with this point. In good times, you can have a sports car, in bad times, you can be a Buddha, and in desperate times, you can use a magic sword to kill demons.

And the most outrageous thing is that old man Popovich, he actually dared to rest players in the playoffs!

The reason the Hornets won that game was because Popovich rested Duncan and Manu in G4, and then they returned in G5.

It turns out that it is really as the fans said, isn't this just for the purpose of selling tickets?

Of course, it seems that Duncan was indeed injured. Duncan has suffered from plantar fasciitis for many years. If it really breaks out, he really can't play. But as a doctor, Jiang Ming feels that one of these two people is definitely faking an injury.

But no matter what, the Spurs are really ruthless, and the old horse knows the way is not just talk. Tony Parker, who dared to rest in the playoffs and slack off in the regular season, averaged 28.6 points, 4.2 rebounds and 6.8 assists in the first round.
This is truly what I have achieved: I am not the first point guard, but I am responsible for sending the first point guard home.

"We're mainly targeting Parker on that one."

"I don't agree. I think we should just defend him alone and prevent them from connecting with each other."

"I agree. The Spurs play team basketball. If we double-team anyone, our defense will explode."

“I think we need to target Manu, the best sixth man on the bench, Manu Ginobili, and we need to use our strengths to keep up with him!”

Jiang Ming didn't listen much afterwards, partly because he couldn't get a word in, and partly because it was too boring for a bystander.

It is more enjoyable to eat it directly with the game.

So Jiang Ming went to slack off and browse the forums to see what delicious food and fun things there are in San Antonio.

No matter what, this is definitely destined to be an exciting round of the Western Conference semifinals.

Spurs vs. Trail Blazers G1
AT&T Center.

The Spurs did not make any small moves in this first game, and the score remained the same until the last minute.

Because both sides were unfamiliar with each other, but had studied each other frantically before the game, the lead was taken turns during the game, with the lead changing hands 20 times throughout the game.

The winner was not decided until the very end.

Manu and Maggette each broke through and made two free throws, both of which were made.

89:89
Parker made a classic mid-range shot around the pick-and-roll of Mr. Fundamental Skills Duncan and scored!
Only 0.9 seconds left!
Only 0.9 seconds left for the Trail Blazers!
Trail Blazers timeout!
After the timeout, the Trail Blazers let Aldridge, who was tall, serve the ball. Oden, who moved quickly, screened for Roy, who hung the screen and received the ball one step outside the three-point line.

He received the ball and shot a three-pointer before Manu could break through the defense.

Jiang Ming stood up instantly and watched the basketball draw a high and perfect arc!!!
Then there was a crisp "swish" sound of the net.

The world is quiet!!!

92:91! ! !

The Yellow Mamba made a three-pointer with 0.9 seconds left to defeat the Spurs!

Killer nature!
"Break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly in an instant, seconds faster than heaven and earth, seconds faster than gods!!!"
