NBA: The best team doctor in history

Chapter 235: The best team doctor! All players are healthy and beat the Heat in the finals
The boss really likes Jiang Ming for this reason; he has a perfect grasp of the ways of dealing with people!

Shao Bang seemed cold and unkind. If the decoction just now also required money, the Mavericks would definitely complain about how the multi-millionaire director of a private clinic and the richest man like Paul Allen were so stingy?

Helping more is too much. Sometimes, if you help someone too much, the other party will become more and more demanding.

In the most crucial G6, Nowitzki's fever did subside. As the core of the team, he scored 29 points. No matter who the Trail Blazers sent to defend, Nowitzki could score.

In this game that determined the direction of the series, Nowitzki toughened up.

But the Trail Blazers have been baptized by the Grizzlies, and their defense has been upgraded by more than one level compared to previous seasons. Terry, Barea, Kidd, and Chandler were all locked down by the Trail Blazers players.

As Yao Ming said after the game:

"We all have defense. Although Nowitzki played a little crazy, basketball is a sport for five people after all. Thanks to my teammates!"

It's too difficult for the Mavericks. They don't have many elite defenders on the outside, let alone inside.

But the Trail Blazers' inside players have a stable output in every game.

Whether it's Ade, Oden, or Yao Ming, as long as there is an opportunity for a one-on-one, they will play it without thinking, and the effect of their one-on-ones is also outstanding.

Not to mention the tactics deployed by the Trail Blazers, who played fast breaks decisively.

With Curry and Roy, two ball-handling scorers, and Dragic able to drive the offense, the Trail Blazers, who no longer have a traditional point guard, can beat the Mavericks purely by offense.

120:103
4-2!

In the second round, the Trail Blazers were still 4-2, but the process was much simpler.

And the biggest highlight of this round is that Jiang Ming is treating the injury of the visiting team player, especially the visiting team's top player, but so-what?

So what, the Trail Blazers still advanced.

This proves one thing, whether the opponent is given treatment or not, the final result will be the same. Rockets fans are almost mad, this doctor is too metaphysical.

After all, after Yi Jianlian was cured at that time, he came down like a god and reversed the Rockets' situation.

The Rockets were caught in the crossfire again this time. It was clearly the Mavericks who were eliminated, but their other Texas brother, the Rockets, was also criticized.

But the real boss of Texas is coming to seek revenge on the Trail Blazers.

随着马刺在主场98:87淘汰湖人，马刺4-2晋级西部总决赛，连续3年和开拓者相遇！！！
Texas' strongest big brother is coming to fight the Trail Blazers! Will they stumble again this time like they did last year?

In any case, Jiang Ming is looking forward to the Western Conference Finals, because the Mexican chicken burrito in San Antonio is authentic and delicious, and he still misses that taste very much.

But in fact, after the actual game, it was found that the Trail Blazers had an easier time playing in the divisional finals than in the first two rounds.

What about the Spurs' impressive 61-win record?
The Trail Blazers are no longer rookies in the playoffs, and they are very confident after defeating the Spurs last year.

And the Spurs' lineup is aging, really old.

Among the five starting players, only Blair is a young man in his early 5s, but he is just a fake starter. The lineup most used by the Spurs is still Parker + Ginobili + Jefferson + Duncan + McDyess.

The youngest is Parker, 29 years old, and the oldest is McDyess, 37 years old.

The average age of the Trail Blazers is 26, which is their prime.

Robert, the Trail Blazers team doctor, wrote a paper last year, which proved that the peak age of NBA players is 26 years old!!!
This was a conclusion that Jiang Ming nodded in agreement with.

Because at the age of 26, one is already very mature both physically and technically and tactically. This is not only the peak period for players, but also the peak period for many professional men.

Men in this age group have grown up physically and have been out of college for about 4 years. Their emotional intelligence has also increased. They are both worldly-wise and innovative. They are a group of people who are both energetic and thoughtful!

The average age of the Trail Blazers this year is just 26 years old. Whether Robert's thesis can be finally verified depends on whether the Trail Blazers can win the championship this year.

The Trail Blazers' athletic ability is much stronger than that of the Spurs.

In addition, the two sides had a tactical game last year, and the Trail Blazers coaching staff knows the Spurs better than the Grizzlies and Mavericks.

But in fact, the Spurs have changed this year. The core of the Spurs has changed from Duncan to Ginobili this season. However, Ginobili was injured in the game against the Lakers. He missed the first game of the Western Conference Finals and played with injuries in the next five games, which greatly reduced his strength.

Duncan was also troubled by injuries, and his condition became extremely bad in this round. Facing the successive challenges from Oden and Yao Ming, he seemed to be unable to cope with the challenge.

Mainly, he uses a low-post stance style of play.

Whether it is Oden or Yao Ming, they like to defend like this the most.

They all have weight and footwork, and Yao Ming has height. The flying devil's hook shot is of little use in front of Yao Ming, and he is forced to increase the arc.

In G1, the Spurs underwent a transformation, and head coach Popovich used new tactics to test the Trail Blazers, but ended up in defeat.

They gave up the style of play that was centered around Duncan and focused on positional warfare.

Instead, they speeded up the game and pursued more passes and cuts to make the offense smoother, but the system was not mature and was in the trial and adjustment stage.

Instead, they were strangled by the Trail Blazers in one wave.

Game 2 was much more tense. Popovich gave up on trying out tactics at home and played the traditional double tower style, playing team basketball in positional situations. In the end, Ginobili miraculously overtook the opponent with a 3-pointer and nearly won the game.

But it was just this one victory.

The Spurs suffered consecutive defeats in the next two games at the Trail Blazers' home court.

In G3, Roy alone blew up the Spurs' back line. Jefferson, Manu, and Parker were all garbage!

Scored 35 points alone.

In G4, Roy had 10 assists.

Because Popovich is also a genius coach. He really dares to use tactics and double-team Roy. What is the result?
Roy, who practiced passing during the offseason, had 10 assists and got his first double-double in the playoffs.

Curry also scored 30 points, including a record-breaking 12 of 8 three-pointers!

G5 Spurs home.

Danny Green was in great form again, making 6 of 6 three-pointers, and Dragic had 8 assists. With the Trail Blazers' second lineup so explosive, the only way to make a comeback is to rely on GDP to return to its peak.

But the fact is that Duncan scored 12 points, Parker scored 15 points, and Ginobili scored 10 points.

The Big Three only scored 37 points combined.

Trail Blazers 121:93
Advance to the finals without any bloodshed!!!
NBA official website:

"The Trail Blazers advance to the finals for two consecutive years. This time, the opponent is likely to be the Heat! The result will be announced tomorrow."

《Torn City!》

Western Conference Champions!

However, during this awards ceremony, none of the Trail Blazers players were as happy as they were last year. One reason was that they didn’t win the championship last year, so they all knew that the Western Conference championship was nothing.

Also, the opponent in this finals is very scary, the Big Three of the Heat, this is a really unpredictable matchup.

It would be much better if they played against the Celtics. Last year, their lineup was not complete, but this year it is complete and they wanted to take revenge on the Celtics, but the Celtics didn't give them any chance at all.

But President Larry Miller and Roy both thanked Jiang Ming in their speeches during the Western Conference Finals:

"We have the best team doctor. All of our players are healthy and entered the finals this year!! Thank you, Dr. Jiang!" "We are all healthy in the finals. I hope we can maintain it until the end!"

"As long as we have a complete lineup, we have a high probability of winning the championship!"

The media wasn't so excited.

Last year, he promoted the Trail Blazers for so long, but in the end he had to leave with regret. This year, the Chinese media and fans are very happy.

Because the Great Wall of China has finally made it to the finals!
From the first year Yao Ming entered the NBA, everyone thought he could make it to the finals!
And now, almost 10 years later, he finally made it to the finals.

And he is still wearing a red jersey, representing the Trail Blazers!!!
"I never dreamed that Yao Ming's dream would come true this season."

"As a Yao fan, I am so grateful to Dr. Jiang Ming. No, President Jiang Ming!"

"A stroke of genius. This reinforcement is a win-win situation. In the finals, LeBron James and Wade are afraid of a heavy center like Yao Ming."

"That's true. The Cavaliers never have an advantage against the Rockets."

"Stop Rockets, it's Trail Blazers time!"

"Don't show off, the Heat are still very strong."

"Yes, the chemistry of the Heat's Big Three in the playoffs is getting better and better, and it seems unstoppable."

The funniest thing is that some official media have crooked butts:
"Who on earth can stop James?"

Even though it's an advertisement for Nike, it can't be so ugly.

But it doesn't matter.

For Trail Blazers fans and the team's medical staff, this year they did manage to get all their players healthy and into the playoffs and even the finals.

This actually means that Jiang Ming, the best team doctor, has successfully completed his task.

Who can be so cool?
But Jiang Ming himself didn't celebrate much. After all, he was still in the management and he wanted to see the team win the championship more.

This is the fourth year for the Trail Blazers. From the first round to the second round to the finals and again this year, it must be the Trail Blazers' turn!
war!
What kind of superstar group is this? Destroy it!
The next day.

Instead of taking a break, all members of the Trail Blazers gathered in the stadium conference room at 7 pm to watch Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Bulls were leading at the beginning.

As a result, the Heat finally reversed the game 83-80 and ended the series.

4-1.
The youngest MVP in history pales in comparison to the Big Three.

What makes Jiang Ming feel annoyed is that the blocks Rose made to James in this series can be made into a 3-minute highlight reel. Do some balls have to be pulled? Wouldn't it be better to pass it a little bit?
After watching the game, all the Trail Blazers players were silent.

Because it seems that the Big Three have evolved a lot compared to the regular season. Although the score is not big, the Big Three can really catch up when they want to.

Really arrogant too.

James made the following statement as he lifted the Eastern Conference Championship trophy:

“It’s time for me to win the championship.”

"The little emperor is about to wear the crown!"

Disgusting~
Jiang Ming was speechless. Roy could be so pretentious, but why are you, a clique-loving guy, pretending?

After turning off the TV, the Trail Blazers analyst came directly to the scene to analyze the finals opponent.

The Heat performed unexpectedly well after entering the playoffs, and the Big Three performed much better than in the regular season.

詹姆斯在前三轮季后赛数据：23.7分8.4篮板5.9助攻1.7抢断1.2盖帽，投篮命中率46.6%
韦德季后赛数据：24.5分7.1篮板4.4篮板1.6抢断1.3盖帽，投篮命中率48.5%
波什季后赛数据：18.7分8.3篮板1.9助攻0.8抢断0.6盖帽。投篮命中率49.6%
In fact, their journey through the regular season was quite bumpy.

But making the playoffs is awesome.

Compared with the Trail Blazers, their journey in the Eastern Conference seems extremely easy, which is why the media is optimistic about the Heat.

In the first round against the 76ers, James scored 24.2 points, 10.6 rebounds and 6.2 assists without much effort. Wade averaged 22.2 points and Bosh averaged 19.8 points. The Big Three all had some energy left.

In the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Heat faced the Celtics' Big Three, James' previous nemesis. However, it was because of this Big Three that James decided to leave the Cavaliers. This time facing them, James finally had help. Wade averaged 30.2 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 2 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 52.6%. In the end, the Heat easily defeated the Celtics 4-1.

In the Eastern Conference Finals, the Windy City Rose faced the Bulls who had swept them in the regular season.

Before the game, many people were pessimistic about the Heat, but after the series started, people realized that the Big Three in the regular season were swept by the Bulls simply because they had not yet worked well together.

After two rounds of playoffs, the Heat are now completely different from the regular season. Under the siege of peak James and peak Wade, regular season MVP Rose averaged only 23.4 points, 4 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game in the entire series, with a shooting percentage of only 35%.

It is worth mentioning that the fifth game of this round of the series is the game that Jiang Ming and his team are watching live tonight.

In the last three minutes, the Heat fell behind by 12 points, but then James and Wade began to exert their strength and eventually reversed the game 83-80 to end the series.

Jiang Ming originally thought that the players could have two more days of rest, but once these giants exerted their strength, the Bulls were completely unstoppable.

And Bosh's performance in this round was also very important. In five games, he averaged 23.2 points, 7.6 rebounds and 1 block per game, with a shooting percentage of 60%.

It is hard to say who the real giants are among the Big Three and who is the real thigh, but this is also the reason why the Heat are so strong, because all three of them can perform.

Just like what Jiang Ming discussed privately with Larry Miller and others, the most powerful thing about the Big Three is that even if one or two of them perform poorly, it’s okay.

Because they always have a superstar who can perform normally, and if he performs exceptionally well, they can directly win the game.

The Trail Blazers have far fewer superstars.

Theoretically, the Trail Blazers now only have Roy as their peak superstar. Yao Ming has passed his peak, and Ade and Oden are even less so.

Curry is too thin and too inexperienced.

Therefore, in the games where Roy plays poorly, the Trail Blazers also play poorly 50% of the time, unless there are more than two players left who can perform well.

But come on anyway.

Whether it’s a mule or a horse, only by pulling them out to fight will we know which one is stronger!
Let’s touch it!

"Hahahaha~"

Jiang Ming and several other senior executives were chatting when they heard a burst of hearty laughter coming from the computer speakers behind them.

"Uh, I'll turn off the volume."

The office staff sitting in the back was watching the locker room celebration video posted on Twitter by Heat player Haslem. He didn't expect Haslem to laugh so loudly that President Jiang and others could hear it.

Larry Miller laughed:

"The Heat's celebration video? No problem. We'll edit it out tomorrow and show it to our players to inspire them."

"Haha, okay, let me take a look."

Jiang Ming was well aware of the fact that an arrogant army would soon be defeated, so he took his coffee to the employee's computer to see how the Heat locker room celebrated becoming the Eastern Conference champion.

But just as he glanced at the video, he suddenly shouted:
"Wait! Pause here!!"
