NBA: The best team doctor in history

Chapter 220: Mo's Boxing Gym in Chinatown, New York
Seeing his colleagues and players raising their hands and cheering, Jiang Ming was also very emotional.

No discouragement, no decadence.

Now that the results are out, we have to move forward!

Fuck you!

Isn’t the outside world mocking the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine’s Waterloo?

Indeed, the power of a few people is limited now.

But there is strength in numbers, add more people, must add more people!!!
So Jiang Ming did not sleep after landing. After returning calls from Liu Yifei, his parents and other close friends, he sat in front of the desk late at night, looking at the computer and thinking.

This time he must learn from his mistakes!!!

Because this year does have its own problems.

With the establishment of the clinic tomorrow, returning home to play during the All-Star weekend, and caring about many things about Yao Ming, including the playoffs, I feel a little "relaxed" about the situation of my own players.

But in fact, there are only a few core members of his team, but there are more than a dozen players, and the team members are not available 24 hours a day or always to inquire about the players' situation.

Generally speaking, if the players themselves do not say that they are feeling uncomfortable, they will not receive special treatment. After all, everything has its limits, and too much physical therapy will have side effects as netizens have said.

But after thinking about it, I found that shortage of staff is definitely a situation!
Hiring!!!

We must recruit people.

His Traditional Chinese Medicine Department is also recruiting!

Since the Trail Blazers are cursed and since they can't handle it all by themselves, especially in the playoffs, they are completely confused.

And to put it simply, there were not enough nursing staff. After Jensen's team was disbanded, all his nursing team ran away.

In fact, Fang Xiaotong is the only one who provides true pure nursing care.

Jiang Muyan sometimes volunteered to do a lot of nursing work.

So we really need to recruit people.

And we are not afraid of recruiting too many people. Tomorrow’s Clinic is just 5 kilometers away, so if there are too many people, they can just transfer to Tomorrow’s Clinic.

"Let's do it!"

Just do it.

The next day, Yao Ming, who had undergone a successful operation in Houston, couldn't wait to be transferred to the Tomorrow Clinic. They trusted the follow-up physical therapy at the Tomorrow Clinic more.

Thomas Clanton didn't say much either, except to say that he actually felt that the clinic would be better and more convenient tomorrow.

So he agreed to transfer to another hospital, after all, they were also off season, and he had to go to Dubai to treat the princes.
Jiang Ming didn't take this business, but he definitely wanted to take it.

Working for the team is thankless and it's not as comfortable as going abroad for specialist treatment.

Jiang Ming, who was originally planning to recruit people, accepted all the orders.

You Rockets don’t want to take care of the follow-up, right?

You know that our Tomorrow Clinic offers “good value for money”, right?
Okay, come on.

I'm still worried about Yao Ming staying with you.

So Jiang Ming signed the contract very quickly and also helped Thomas Reese see a few outpatients in the internal medicine department.

Another major reason why the team medical team is short of staff is that the Trail Blazers' nominal chief team doctor, Thomas Reese, is no longer focused on the Trail Blazers team, but is focusing most of his energy on treating internal medicine patients in the clinic.

This made him find the long-lost feeling of saving lives through medical treatment. Mainly, Jiang Ming also assigned him a Chinese medicine intern assistant, so he could also learn Chinese medicine.

As time went by, he even seldom came to the team.

In other words, the management did not say anything and would not say anything for Jiang Ming's sake, because Jiang Ming had done everything the team medical team should do, and Thomas Reese only needed to attend any meetings.

But no matter what, if he doesn't come, there will be someone missing.

Including Jensen and his last disciple, the bald team doctor, who is in charge of medical equipment. Compared with the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department, they have very little time.

So although the Trail Blazers' medical team seems to have a lot of people, only a few of them actually do their work.

Just as the news of Yao Ming's transfer to Jiang Ming's hospital came out,
McGrady, who was doing charity work in Europe, made a statement:
"How can it be so easy to win the championship? The Trail Blazers are lucky. I have played for so many years and have never touched the floor of the finals. Who can I talk to?"

What does this mean?
The original text was just a reporter asking him if he had any idea of ​​competing for the championship next season.

Suddenly talking about Trail Blazers?
Or it seems to be implying the management.

Or did he feel that he would never win a championship again after Yao Ming was injured?

However, these words also made many Trail Blazers fans come to terms with it. Trail Blazers fans felt regretful, but they didn’t know that there were still many people who envied the Trail Blazers.

Yes, a big star like McGrady only hovers in the first and second rounds every year, and did not even make it to the playoffs this season.

But if we look at the news that Yao Ming will be transferred to a clinic for treatment tomorrow, it is actually a criticism of the Rockets management's inaction.

In his opinion as the leader of the team, sending YAO out for treatment is an attempt to shirk responsibility.

Little did he know that he had been secretly put on the shelf by the Rockets.

As a senior executive, Jiang Ming naturally heard the news. That bastard Morey had already been quietly selling off McGrady.

And why haven’t they sold Yao Ming yet?
The reason is very simple. Zhang Mingji said that he was negotiating a contract renewal recently, but the asking price was very low.

Obviously, the Rockets are unwilling to abandon the Chinese market, which is their cash cow.

If Yao leaves and McGrady leaves with him, the Rockets will really not make much money.

"This Mo Gou is really disgusting. Let him dance for a while, and during this time, he can give Yao Ming some eye drops. We don't need to rush for now."

This was Jiang Ming's reply to Zhang Mingji, because Zhang Mingji's call was also to express to Jiang Ming that Yao Ming was still psychologically reluctant to leave the place where he had lived and worked for seven years.

But as an agent, he has already seen through the Rockets even though he doesn't know that McGrady has been put on the shelf.

This is a place where people eat bones!
Jiang Ming's answer was to let him hold off for now. The Trail Blazers would definitely fight for Yao Ming, and when McGrady was actually traded, Yao Ming would definitely see through it.

There is no such thing as one person, one city. As long as you have no value, you are just a bargaining chip.

Applying eye drops is not just a saying.

Yao Ming has to see it clearly himself.

Over the years, have the Rockets made any truly big trades? Have they ever paid a luxury tax?
Every year they call for the Yao-McGrady duo to win the championship, but every year they just make small reinforcements. Can a combination of players like Bird and Randle and Hayes win the championship???

While other teams have three giants, the Rockets are still wasting Yao and McGrady's youth.

And once McGrady leaves next season, the Rockets will definitely go the route of playing badly and getting a high draft pick to strengthen the team. Wouldn't that be another waste of Yao Ming's year???
This is also why Jiang Ming, as a fan of Yao Ming, told Yao Ming in advance that we need you.

As a management, he can wait for the moment of winning the championship, and he firmly believes that the Trail Blazers can definitely win the championship during his tenure.

But Yao Ming can't wait any longer. After this serious injury, he will only have one more chance to get a three-year contract in his career.

If you can't grasp it, your life will end miserably.

"Don't worry, hold on."

Jiang Ming also asked Fang Xiaotong to use his own account to send private messages to Oden and others, telling them to have fun during the offseason and not to stress too much, and to rest assured that they are there to run the team.

Physical and mental pleasure is also a good way to restore physical condition. Players must not be too stressed because they still have to maintain their playing form.

So the pressure is on the management, and they don't have to play. The pressure is on the logistics department, and the players just have to play well.

Of course, he did not attend the draw this year, but McGowan did.

He was drawn to the 27th pick in the first round and the 57th pick in the second round, and the period until the draft in July is the time for Jiang Ming to recruit players.

new York.

Chinatown.

Summer vacation is here, and Chinese Sunset and Flower tour groups are all over this commercial street with a large Chinese population.

Jiang Ming and Fang Xiaotong bought two Shandong pancakes to eat first, and then walked to the Mo Family Boxing Gym, which is well-known in the Chinese community.

Before coming here, Jiang Ming had already learned indirectly that the director of this boxing gym is a hermit master who not only knows martial arts but also Chinese medicine massage, so the store introduction they saw last time was not a lie. However, there were voices on the Internet saying that the director was a swindler who cheated many students out of their money.

but,

Jiang Ming will know whether it is true or not just by taking a look himself.

So he came in person to investigate this legendary "quack doctor".

Why do we select people from the United States first? Because they are already in the United States and are familiar with the culture here, so they are easier to poach.

If we were to poach barefoot Chinese medicine practitioners from China, the procedures would be very complicated, not to mention persuading them to come across the ocean to develop in a foreign country. These capable doctors usually develop very well in the local area and are well-known local tyrants within a hundred miles. There is no need for them to come and help Jiang Ming.

"It seems that the door is closed again today?"

Fang Xiaotong leaned against the quaint window, and there was no sound inside the boxing gym.

"That shouldn't be the case. We specifically chose to come during the afternoon working hours."

Jiang Ming went forward and knocked on the door, but found that it was not locked this time.

When he was about to open the door again, a pair of hands suddenly pressed on Jiang Ming's shoulders:
"Hey, this girl is so pretty!"

"Shit? When did this guy come here?"

Jiang Ming quickly took a step back with the basketball, thinking that he and Fang Xiaotong didn't feel anyone coming at all, so how could someone put their arm around their shoulders?
When I turned around, I saw an old man in a white Tai Chi gown looking at me with a squinting look. His hair and beard were all gray. He was fanning himself with a fan in his other hand, and on the fan was written: Chinese Kung Fu.

"Hey, what a pretty girl, what's your name?"

The old man then bent down and looked at Jiang Ming, who had a righteous look on his face, in an obscene manner, and asked with a smile.

Fang Xiaotong quickly hid behind Jiang Ming, thinking he was talking about her, and complained behind Jiang Ming: "This old man is crazy and scary."

"Don't worry, he's talking to me."

Jiang Ming smiled and patted Fang Xiaotong's hand, and said seriously to the crazy old man in front of him:
"What's your name?"

"Me? I'm the owner of the Mo Family Boxing Gym!! It's Mo Youqian!!!"

"This pretty girl, would you like to sign up for a class? A boxing class is $50. Monthly classes are cheaper, and annual classes are even cheaper. No cheating!!!"

what?
After hearing this, Fang Xiaotong blinked her eyes. Could it be that this crazy old man is the director of the Mo Family Boxing Gym?

How come it is completely different from what I imagined.

“I don’t box.”

Jiang Ming waved his hands. He found that if he made his voice a little sharper, the old man would be able to hear him.

But when Fang Xiaotong spoke in a real female voice, he couldn't hear her. What a strange habit.

But there was one thing he had to admit.

That is, after experiencing the world of so many old Chinese medicine practitioners in ancient times, he also discovered that most great geniuses have some "problems", that is to say, most geniuses have some peculiarities.

Take Li Shizhen for example. In the eyes of the ancients, he was just a fool who ate grass everywhere. Who knew that he could write a masterpiece when he returned home at night?
Could this old man be the same now?

"Then what are you doing here?"

Mo Youqian immediately frowned and looked like he was going to chase the person away.

Jiang Ming tried to speak in a gentle tone:

"Doesn't it say that you can also do Chinese medicine massage? I want to feel the bone correction, is that okay?"

"No, no! Can't feel it?"

Mo Youqian blinked continuously.

"Ok?"

Fang Xiaotong reacted:
"How much is it per time? We'll pay for it."

"That's right, I'll give this pretty girl a discount, 30 dollars for 50 minutes, 60 dollars for 80 minutes!"

"Let's have a 30-minute one."

Jiang Ming agreed without even thinking about it. He really forgot that he had to pay at the bone-setting shop outside.

I do it for free for the players when I am in the team, and I will not do it myself easily in the clinic tomorrow. All the work will be done by the Chinese medicine interns. I will only demonstrate bone setting and massage in person when there are difficult and complicated cases or when I give them on-site teaching. I will not think about collecting money for that. These are all things that my subordinates need to pay attention to.

"come in!"

Upon hearing that there was money to be made, Mo Youqian rushed over to greet Jiang Ming as if he really had no money.

This made Jiang Ming suspicious of him.

Is this really a folk master???

Or is that Chinese forum in New York a scam?
The main thing is that it's too smoky and dirty once you get in.

The small boxing gym was probably only about 100 square meters, with no more than a dozen people standing in the middle to box together, and it was quite crowded.

There were a lot of miscellaneous items around, and Jiang Ming didn't even dare to lie down on the dirty therapy bed. The old desktop computer was still on, with the interface of an 18-forbidden clothing game hanging on it.

Fang Xiaotong covered her face repeatedly when she saw this.

"Master Mo, how long has it been since you recruited a boxing student?"

Jiang Ming asked before lying down, because he had just touched the wooden man used for boxing and found that the wooden man was covered with dust. This meant that not only did he have no students, he himself did not practice.

Mo Youqian quickly pulled his hand away, laughed and said:

"Don't worry about these details! The weather is hot now, let's practice outdoors, outdoors!"

Fang Xiaotong almost laughed out loud, thinking, in this bustling Chinatown, where can one find an outdoor place to teach boxing? On the rooftop?
So she quickly signaled to Jiang Ming with her eyes that he was obviously an old liar and she should stop wasting time. There was a Chinese traditional medicine clinic nearby with a very bright sign.

But Jiang Ming took off his baseball jacket and sat on the therapy bed, thinking that he was already here, he said:
"I've been working a lot lately, and my neck and lumbar spine are a bit sore, so I'll focus on these two areas."

"OK, OK, leave it to me, hehe, it's all a piece of cake!"

Mo Youqian made the motion of counting money with his right hand and smiled in a nasty way, obviously he would not correct his bones unless he was paid first.

Fang Xiaotong angrily took out US dollars from her pocket and gave them to him.

Mo Youqian then placed his hands on Jiang Ming's shoulders, and then moved his hands around Jiang Ming's waist and back like a dragon...

"This is!! Mongolian medicine bone-setting method!!!"

Jiang Ming's expression suddenly changed!
