NBA: The best team doctor in history

Chapter 23: Cripple House!
Jiang Ming and Sean were both surprised by the familiar coat and crew cut. It was such a coincidence.

Sean couldn't help but wave in Robert's direction, but the one who responded was the doctor in the middle named Robbie who also waved in his direction.

Apparently Robert didn't see Jiang Ming and the other man in the crowd, and he bent over and sat directly in the front.

It turns out that the person Robert was going to meet was the famous doctor Robbie.

That?
Robert is also a team doctor?
Then it makes sense that the little boy was given the wrong, reckless treatment. Someone who has been wielding a hammer and dealing with insensitive bones is not so good at stopping bleeding and performing pneumothorax surgery.

The old man Jiang Ming who spoke to Lisa knew something. Anyone working in the NBA team medical staff could not have been unaware of this old man, which was why many people stood up and applauded.

Dr. Robbie Sika: Former Timberwolves chief team doctor, current director of the Timberwolves medical department!
This is the top doctor in California, and his sports rehabilitation skills are miles ahead of anywhere else in the world.

There is a saying in the NBA team medical community:

The Lakers have great physical therapy, the Walkers have strong orthopedics, the Warriors have ankle wraps, the Sonics have knee treatments, and the Trail Blazers have a cure for all diseases (including groin)
The last Blazers is obviously a joke in the industry, and the groin is an injury that the team has been using to fool fans and the league.

Once a player needs to rest or cannot come for some reason and cannot explain the real reason, the smart groin injury will come into play. This injury can cause immediate injury and recover in the next game. It is known as an incurable disease in the NBA.

But in fact, the Timberwolves team doctors are the ones who can cure all diseases, because they are the originators of sports rehabilitation, and almost all sports rehabilitation methods in the NBA are learned from California.

The doctor in front of us, Dr. Robbie, is a veteran sports medicine expert who is often invited by various teams to participate in consultations and perform surgery.

So he may not be the highest paid here, but he is recognized as the most expert here and may be the best team doctor in the entire league except for the Suns' doctor.

This is also the most powerful expert invited by the Trail Blazers tonight.

Why not invite the NASA giant from the sun?
This was the last stubbornness of the Trail Blazers team. The Trail Blazers veterinarian and the Suns' miracle doctor have always been the eternal topic of comparison in the newspapers, although there is no grudge between the two sides, and the Suns' medical team is not very famous in the circle, and their appearance fee is not expensive.

But it is absolutely impossible to ask the Suns team doctor to treat the Trail Blazers players. Wouldn't that be tantamount to admitting that they are the veterinarians themselves?

And the Suns would not come either. Not only might they be rivals for the playoff rankings, but if Oden was healthy, he could become a threat to the Bully. Therefore, no member of the Suns' medical team came on their own initiative.

Although the Timberwolves and the Trail Blazers belong to the same Northwest Division, the Timberwolves are weaker and their management is terrible. It is obvious that they will not make the playoffs in recent seasons, so Robbie was invited to help the Trail Blazers.

I just don't want the pioneers to waste resources.

The Timberwolves' lottery draw was not very good. Last year, Robbie had examined Oden's physical condition, but in the end, the Timberwolves didn't get the No. 1 pick. What could they do?

Since he didn't get it, he couldn't destroy it. As a doctor, he didn't want to see such a rising star fall before it even rose.

After he sat down, the Trail Blazers staff even gave him a microphone.

Old man Robbie said in a clear and clear voice:
"On the way here, I have heard about the general situation from Dr. Robert. I agree with what Lisa said. My opinion is that if we choose conservative treatment and let Oden rest for more than a month, we can use this month to monitor Oden's condition and develop a professional plan for the recovery of leg strength."

"I know your training plan, Jensen. It's old-fashioned and inflexible, so you must make some changes."

Robbie's criticism of Jensen by name made the Trail Blazers' team doctors a little uneasy. Isn't this too direct?
Because only the players who left the Trail Blazers know that Jensen and Thomas Reese always use the same training plan for the players year after year, and the players are tired of it. Now it is the 21st century, don't use the methods from the late 20th century.

Jensen's eyelids twitched, but he had to respond:
"Okay, Robbie-senpai."

This is a true senior. Among those who study sports medicine, which one of them has not gone to California for further studies during the off-season?
Robbie continued to be sarcastic, oh no, and said to Oden:

"Oden, you are this year's No. 1 pick, and are considered a combination of Hakeem Olajuwon and Tim Duncan. You have Olajuwon's skills on both offense and defense, and your leadership and basketball IQ are very similar to Duncan's. If you want to realize your talent, the team's medical team must discover the special features of your body so that you can have a good career."

The tone of voice shows love.

The other team doctors were stunned when they heard this, and they thought he wanted to recruit Oden.

"This includes Roy from your team. Their bodies are different from those of ordinary athletes. We need to manage their injuries and prepare treatment plans based on their sports style."

"So if you choose conservative treatment, you must first observe his muscle coordination and treat him according to his natural movement style. They are no longer ordinary players, you know?" Oden's agent laughed at this:
"Mr. Robbie, you can work part-time as the Timberwolves manager."

It was said a few months ago that Oden's team might choose the Timberwolves, and told the outside world that he would not go anywhere else but the Timberwolves!

Of course, this is just a joke.

It's just that Oden's team has been really disappointed with the Trail Blazers recently.

If he really goes to the Timberwolves, he has such an excellent medical team in California, plus experience in treating inside players like Garnett. Although the lineup may not be very good, his career should be long.

Let’s imagine the Supersonics. They are a team that specializes in treating knees.

Robbie: "Basketball team doctors are closely related to basketball operations."

"No, this old man is a bit talkative."

Although knowing that the Timberwolves' chief team doctor was famous, Jiang Ming yawned after listening for a while and said, "What are you talking about? You are the most powerful person here, just tell me whether to have the surgery or not. What he said was about the later stage of conservative treatment, so it's not the right time to say it now."

Instead, we should wait until conservative treatment is confirmed. Talking about it now is a waste of everyone's time.

Sure enough, doctors from hospitals not in the NBA system clamored:

"Time waits for no one. Where is the agreed consultation?"

Low EQ: You don’t want 100 million, but we want it. Just let us talk.

Jiang Ming also raised his hand speechlessly. In his opinion, these chiefs were used to being self-centered in their own teams, and they were also the ones who reported to their superiors. Whether it was Lisa or Robbie, they all had a bit of official flavor.

But this is a consultation, and there are many medical experts sitting here who are not from the NBA or sports circles, and they won't buy your nonsense.

Sean and the Spanish-speaking doctors in front have also raised their hands.

it's time!

Jiang Ming won't buy it. If he did, he wouldn't have come to the NBA.

So raise your hand and prepare to express your opinion.

Robbie didn't see so many people raising their hands at once, and the three members of the Trail Blazers management felt quite embarrassed because Robbie was still speaking and they couldn't stop the great player.

Jensen glanced at Larry Miller and thought, is this the result you want to see?

At this time, a man with a fierce expression, a beard, blue jeans, and messy hair on the left side of the first row, who did not look like a doctor at all, stood up with a cane. Without saying a word, he limped away from his seat with the cane. (Photo)

The black sneakers are very eye-catching and don't look like a doctor's attire at all.

His two assistants in the second row quickly left their seats and followed him.

Robbie also stopped talking and looked in surprise at the lame doctor who left the table.

The doctor who didn't know him was also dumbfounded. Who is this person? So hardcore? Interrupting Robbie's "speech" in person, how is this different from turning against him?

"Hey, hey, hey, Dr. House, how can you leave?"

Now Deputy General Manager Chris McGowan was anxious. He had spent a lot of money to hire Greg House, so how could he just leave without saying a word?

Dr. Greg House gave him a nasty look:
"It's time to get off work. I need to rest."
