NBA: The best team doctor in history

Chapter 217 217: Inviting Yao to join the Trail Blazers, a wave of injuries, and the cursed torn city?

No matter which team doctor you replace, you wouldn’t dare to say that!

Don’t want to work anymore?
mad!
Just crazy!
The only person who can be criticized is Jiang Ming, who is also a famous team doctor.

If any other young team doctor dared to speak ill of the head coach of the league's top record so directly, no matter what the relationship between the team and Thibodeau is now, this trouble-making team doctor must be fired.

Because the NBA circle is actually very small. If you criticize Thibodeau and the Rockets now, the boomerang might hit you in the next second.

It is very likely that Morey will become your president and immediate boss next year.

And it is very likely that Thibodeau will be poached to be the head coach of your team
If we make enemies in advance, we will never be able to invite you again in the future.

And they all have their own network of relationships. If you offend him, you offend their entire network.
In the NBA network, no one will offend anyone easily. At most, retired stars will say a few words, but most of them have nothing to say on talk shows.

But even so, it will be difficult to get the opportunity to coach in the NBA after saying it.

This is also the reason why no one dares to offend the Spurs, especially the Spurs coaching staff. Half of the league's coaching staff and management are from the Spurs, so you can find that there are always a lot of people speaking well of the Spurs.

But Thibodeau, Morey and Adelman are fine.

Of course, if the Spurs treated Yao Ming like this, Jiang Ming would still scold them!

Because he was just stating a fact.

"Thibodeau always requires Yao Ming to do a lot of high-intensity training before every game. It is this method that causes Yao Ming's body to overdraw early. Yao Ming is exhausted before every game. It seems that Thibodeau is murdering him. Is it him who ruined Yao Ming?

The intensity was high before the game, and after the game started the average playing time was 40+ minutes per game. Even Jordan couldn't stand it!

So it was inevitable that he got injured without any confrontation. It was too tiring. With his weight and height, I think it’s a miracle that he could hold on until now without getting injured.”

Jiang Ming's words made everyone nod subconsciously!
That feels right!
When these words were published in newspapers and in the news, people were really shocked because it was the first time everyone heard of it!

In all the previous reports or rumors about the truth of Yao Ming's injury, Thibodeau has never appeared. After all, he was just an auxiliary shooting coach at the time, a completely behind-the-scenes person, and naturally would not attract other people's attention.

It was only recently that he became famous after meeting Ross.

But when Jiang Ming said what Thibodeau said, no one would question whether Jiang Ming was trying to get traffic or something, because Jiang Ming has much more traffic than Thibodeau, so there is no need to get traffic.

What he said is very likely to be true, it's a fact!

but!

The most interesting thing is that Thibodeau's coaching style in the Bulls is to screw the main players.

Thibodeau's use of players has always been questioned by the majority of fans, especially after he left the Rockets, the teams and players he coached were all used up to the point of being completely wasted.

Bulls fans can't stand it anymore. When they were ranked first in the league, they were sometimes behind by 20 points, and even when they were leading by 20 points, they didn't use their main players in the last two minutes of the fourth quarter. Is it okay to let them finish the game?

Derrick Rose averaged 44 minutes of playing time per game, and both offense and defense were a dead end for this supernova who may very well become the youngest MVP in history.

Thibodeau's use of Rose can be said to be completely unprotected, and Rose basically does not get a chance to breathe after a game.

So this is somewhat consistent with what Jiang Ming said?
Therefore, when Jiang Ming said this, the fans of the Bulls and Rose nodded crazily in agreement!
That’s right!

No matter he is a shooting assistant coach in the Rockets or a head coach in the Bulls, this guy just likes to fuck his players!

There is nothing wrong with this!
So what Jiang Ming said is really right!

Some fans who are doctors even said that if the Bulls continue to let Thibodeau coach like this, Rose will probably become useless.

After all, Rose's playing style is more violent, which makes him more prone to injury!

"I think what Dean Jiang Ming said is still conservative. He should have added that Thibodeau has been tirelessly overdrawing the health of players. This is the case with Yao Ming and Rose!"

"If you really say that, you will offend both teams."

"Haha, there's no need. The main thing is that Rose hasn't been injured yet, so it's easy for him to get slapped in the face."

"No, I believe Director Jiang Ming is not afraid of being slapped in the face. He is afraid of being criticized. Chinese doctors sometimes see things but don't speak out. Although such things may happen, they are kind-hearted and hope that they will not happen."

"Yeah, if they really said that, Rose's fans would block the door and say Jiang Ming was cursing their star!"

"As Director Jiang Ming said at the end of the interview, I hope that all active players can take good care of their bodies. After all, being able to play for a few more years is the best reward for themselves and the fans."

"It sounds like what he said means Yao Ming won't be able to play for many more years?"

"It's a contract year, and the next contract definitely won't have a maximum salary, so it's hard to say."

"But let's be honest, Director Jiang is really bold. It originally had nothing to do with me, but now I am willing to sacrifice my life for Xuanyuan!"

"It's not all about not caring about anything. The main reason is that the Rockets are too disgusting. They put all the blame on the Chinese men's basketball team. This is the real way to shirk responsibility. When the patient is cured, the credit will still go to Thomas Clanton and other Rockets doctors. This is a good thing they did!"

"Hahahaha, don't tear down people when they are in trouble, @Morey, people should have some sense of shame!"

"Jiang Ming and Yao Ming are good friends. He really couldn't stand it anymore, so he stepped forward. Otherwise, he would never have gotten involved in this mess."

"@Alexander, how much money have you made from China? You are reluctant to pay the luxury tax every year. If you can find a reliable center backup for Yao Ming, it won't be so tiring."

"Yeah, damn, the Rockets are eating up China's products and secretly disgusting China. Damn it, it would be better for Yao Ming to sign a contract with the Trail Blazers!"

"same!"

"Agree!"

"The Rockets wasted Yao Ming's precious seven years!"

"Every year they say they are reinforcing the system, but every year it's just patching things up for another year!"

"Morey is fired!"

The next day.

As Jiang Ming's interview video spread, it caused a huge stir in the circle.

And the first thing that happened was that the Trail Blazers management and shareholders talked to Jiang Ming.

This is too nerve-wracking. A few words scared the Trail Blazers management.

"Director Jiang, are you crazy?"

"No. Why should we offend two teams for no reason?"

"Director Jiang, we don't need to get involved." "We can just talk about this kind of thing in private. We can negotiate with the Rockets in private, but don't make it public. Wouldn't that directly strain relations?"

Jiang Ming then said, "I will be interviewed at the clinic tomorrow. I also said that I am representing myself. I am just standing up for my friend. It has nothing to do with the Trail Blazers. Don't worry."

So what else can Larry Miller say?
Jiang Ming himself is one of the major shareholders, and Paul Allen didn't say anything, which means no one can do anything about it.

But many people still believed what Jiang Ming said in the interview, pointing the finger at Adelman, Morey and Thibodeau, who has been with the Bulls for two years.
"Yao Ming has only averaged 10.2 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.6 blocks in the last five games. This is how the Rockets use him."

"Yes, this actually means that Yao Ming's health is not good anymore, but the Rockets still use him so madly, it's crazy!"

"Junk rocket!"

"Thibodeau come out and get beaten!!! Our Windy City Rose's career must be long!"

"Director Jiang is a true man who dares to speak the truth!"

“This is the greatness of medicine, serving the country and the people!”

“The leaders of Blue Shoes have him to thank.”

"Haha, fierce!"

The Rockets and the Bulls urgently negotiated with the Trail Blazers and Tomorrow Clinic, and threatened to send a lawyer's letter to accuse Jiang Ming of such false remarks.

Then they all urgently refuted the rumors on their respective official websites.

Adelman is even suspected of shirking responsibility. When reporters asked him, he said, "I am the coach. I am only responsible for winning. The players' health is left to the team doctors."

The team doctors said: We have no authority to manage Yao Ming's playing time, and Jiang Ming also participated in Yao Ming's physical therapy.

Morey: "Jiang Ming is no longer a member of the Rockets. I hope everyone will open their eyes and not believe in rumors from the outside world or words that undermine unity!"

But who listens?

No matter how good your official words are, can they be as professional as what a professional doctor says?
The main thing is that none of the professional doctors like Maffei and Thomas Clanton dare to speak out. What does this mean?
It means that they still have medical ethics. In fact, they agree with Jiang Ming's idea in their hearts, especially Maffei who is no longer in the Rockets. She really wants to say that there is something wrong with the Rockets' team building model.

Without backup forces, how can we go far if we rely solely on the main forces? ? ?

But there was no way, everything she had was in Houston, and if she spoke out, she would not be able to survive in Houston.

Thomas Clanton is naturally a man of integrity. Although Morey repeatedly asked him to come out and clarify, Chief Thomas said that it had nothing to do with him and that he had to prepare for Yao Ming's surgery.

Yao Ming, who was at the center of the storm, naturally wanted to avoid everything, but he was already in tears when he saw this interview video of Jiang Ming!

It’s still our own people who support us!

Zhang Mingji gritted his teeth for a long time and couldn't calm himself down. This is a real good doctor!!!

So in the evening, when no one was around, he made a video call to let Jiang Ming and Yao Ming chat for a while.

If Jiang Ming hadn't said it, Yao Ming himself wouldn't have known that he was devastated like this because of the Rockets' actions.

He also said that he would learn to resist next time, and would ask to leave when necessary, and would speak out directly if he couldn't bear it anymore.

"Oh, it's too late for you to realize this, Yao Ming. I actually have a suggestion. Come to our team directly next year."

Jiang Ming has been acting like a passionate young man who is standing up for the country these days.

"Oh, Dr. Jiang recruited me personally?" Yao Ming was shocked. Originally, it was just netizens talking about it, but Jiang Ming said it directly.

"Brother, with your ability, which team wouldn't recruit you?"

Jiang Ming's words of recruitment were well thought out. The Big White Bear has always played a blue-collar role and cannot achieve a real upgrade. What if it is a center rotation of Oden + Yao Ming?

Zhang Mingji beside him winked:
"It's not impossible. And even if the season is over, it doesn't count as joining because we can't win. We have too many injuries, so we will definitely give priority to you for the sake of medical conditions!"

"Don't tell me, if you really came, there would be a Chinatown in Portland."

However, since Yao Ming has not had the surgery yet, Jiang Ming only mentioned it briefly and did not discuss it in depth. If they really wanted to discuss it, it would have to be the management team that did it, while Jiang Ming mainly reminded Yao Ming of some precautions for stress fracture surgery.

There is really no need to do the surgery yourself. If Thomas Clanton doesn't have the ability to do so, he shouldn't be the chief team doctor of the Rockets.

Jiang Ming mainly talked about his recovery process after the operation. There are still many differences between Chinese medicine and Western medicine.

After I explained a few things, I saw some news pop up on my phone.

It turned out that Thibodeau, who got to know the news in the Eastern Conference, was furious. The Bulls, who had won six consecutive games recently, were feeling comfortable, and Thibodeau was likely to win the Coach of the Year award.

What happened?
Or is it team doctors like Jiang Ming who provide cross-industry and remote output? ? ?
Thibodeau said directly in the interview:
"I don't know why I offended him. When I was in the Rockets, I didn't even know there was such a team doctor, and we never communicated. I didn't expect that he would have such a big opinion of me.

I just want to say to him: Do your job, doc, we are coaches, you are not, thank you!!!"

After saying this, he stroked his few hairs, obviously furious.

When asked later whether what Jiang Ming said about training the players to death was true, he looked like "What can you do to me?" Anyway, we have the best record in the labor-management alliance, so no matter how much you criticize us, it's useless!!!
"This is how I use people, this is my coaching style!"

"hehe."

Jiang Ming wanted to laugh when he saw it, but his intention was not to really target Thibodeau or anything. Just like Thibodeau's aggrieved tone, Jiang Ming really had no grudges against him. He mainly didn't want the Rockets to put all the blame on China.

The Chinese Blues are to blame, but they really shouldn't play in the Stankovic Cup.

But you, the Rockets, did use some ruthless tactics, and the truth must be told.

However, Thibodeau also paid the price for his arrogance.

A month later, Rose injured his right hip.
Jiang Ming's words came true!

Prior to this, Rose only had a right hip flexor strain on October 2008, 10.

December 2008, 12 Back injury
There are two injuries, and the right hip injury will require at least one month of rest.

It was also very scary for the fans to see that he did not land steadily during a layup.

It was obvious that Rose ran out of strength in the fourth quarter and the core couldn't control him.

So Thibodeau deserves to be scolded.
but! ! ! !

At the same time, the Trail Blazers were not having such a good time before the playoffs!
The Trail Blazers were supposed to rest and recuperate at the end of the regular season, but the curse of the Rip City seemed to have entangled them all of a sudden. A large number of injuries occurred at the end of the season, which made Jiang Ming very anxious.
