NBA: The best team doctor in history

Chapter 240: David Stern is in a big trouble after testing James' agent
After he said this, Jiang Ming was certain that this guy was definitely giving LeBron drugs.

Jiang Ming has always been against athletes taking drugs, just like the Trail Blazers athletes do not take health supplements.

Not to mention the drugs that could trigger the ban.

This is most common in the American swimming world. Isn't there news saying that Feiyu won so many championships by taking drugs? Otherwise, who would believe that he could swim so well with asthma?

In Jiang Ming's opinion, it is very likely that the asthma is caused by drugs.

This is something that the NBA does not support.

But Jiang Ming also knew that the alliance often turned a blind eye.

Like many veteran stars, if you don't use drugs, you will have to retire on the spot, and can only rely on drugs to maintain your strength and physical fitness. The league is still willing to see the last value of your star be squeezed out before the handover between the old and the new is completed.

But this is definitely a bad idea as it will lead to bad intentions among new people.

Because many times, other people are using this kind of thing, influencing each other, and then you start using it too.

Just like this ZMA, it is placed in James' locker. No matter who it belongs to, there must be a Heat player using it, right?

Otherwise, why is this bottle placed in the private locker?

Moreover, in the United States, there are endless drugs that help with sports rehabilitation and sports recovery enhancement, and the update speed is very fast. Sometimes you don’t want to take them, but you take them for no reason.

Maybe your physical trainer or agent tells you that there is a drug that is good for you, has no side effects, and contains no banned ingredients, and then you use it.

But when it is discovered later, you will find that you have been cheated, and it will be too late to regret.

There are too many tricks here. The more private clinics he runs in the United States, the more he finds that there are so many gray areas. Jiang Ming never touched these at the beginning, and if he wanted to touch them, he would just give serious reminders and fulfill his responsibilities.

So he smiled to Rich Paul:
"That's fine. Some athletes' supplements are not good. LeBron is extremely talented. If I were LeBron, I would never touch them and see if I could reach the peak physique of a basketball player!"

Rich Paul is a smart man and immediately understood what Jiang Ming meant:
"Of course, we don't need that. Let's cheer for each other in the next game and give a wonderful performance."

Then he ran away as if facing a great enemy, completely losing all desire to celebrate and show off.

Because his back was already sweating.

"This damn miracle doctor, how did he figure out that LeBron was taking medicine?"

He thought to himself, isn't it said that no one can detect the drug, let alone identify it?

Is this oriental miracle doctor really so skilled?
After 1 hours.

When LeBron James finished his spirited press conference and returned to the locker room to wash up, Rich Paul quickly followed him and asked:

"how do you feel today?"

James threw his braces into the locker and subconsciously took out the bottle of ZMA and wanted to chew a pill:
"It's the same as the last game. I feel very comfortable now and don't feel tired at all."

Rich Paul quickly grabbed his hand:
"I won't take it after the game this time to see if there are any side effects."

James asked doubtfully:

"Didn't Dong Jue take it once? There were no side effects. The physical trainer also said that it can be taken for a long time. The pharmaceutical representative is very reliable. The test report says that this is a natural mixed supplement with no side effects."

Rich Paul thought about it and decided not to tell him about the conversation with Jiang Ming. Instead, he persuaded him again:
"Well, we won't eat it after this. We don't need it."

James took out one and ate it, then said with a smile:

"After eating, I can quickly replenish my energy. After I win the championship, I will naturally stop eating. If I do eat, I will only eat for two more games."

Rich Paul thought about it and it seemed so. Wouldn’t it be enough to win the finals in two more games?

Regardless of any side effects, two games only last a week. Given LeBron's physical condition, the side effects will not have a big impact. He can just recover slowly during the offseason.

Let's end the battle 4-2. As an agent, he can't wait to see how much follow-up benefits the little emperor will get after he ascends the throne.

So he nodded and said:
"Okay, but don't eat it right in the locker room. Take this thing home."

James was stunned for a moment, and realized that his agent and best friend seemed to be a little bit abnormal, so he nodded and said:
"That's right. Wade and the others have questioned me several times about eating here. What if they sneak some food? I'll be left with nothing, haha."

Rich Paul also laughed:
"Wade must have eaten it too, otherwise why did he perform so well in the first few games? Haha."

What he didn't know was that Jiang Ming had already found the medicine and had extracted and tested it twice. When he approached Jiang Ming to show off, Jiang Ming just lacked one piece of actual evidence.

After 2 days.

With both teams winning at home, the Heat narrowly beat the Trail Blazers by 5 points on the road in Game 5.

With the home-court advantage, the game was dragged into Game 6 at the Heat's home court, and the championship was just one step away.

This game was a typical LeBron-style win. He tore through the Trail Blazers' defense by himself, dunked over Oden, and then grabbed the rebound over Yao Ming's head.

It was his crucial breakthrough layup in the last minute that secured the victory.

This time Jiang Ming couldn't help it.

He thought that after giving LeBron's famous agent a "knockdown" in the last game, he understood and just knew when to stop.

As a result, I got bored again.

And in fact, it was not just the drugs themselves. The drugs themselves did not support LeBron to score 27 points, because the Trail Blazers tried their best to defend his side, and Wade was silent.

LeBron also showed his confidence in this game.

Whether it was the confidence brought by the first two victories or the confidence brought by drugs, as he shouted in the post-match interview:
"I like playing away games. I just like the quiet environment."

It really feels like a king.

This is another effect of the drug.

Psychological suggestion!

It can make people more confident!
As a doctor, Jiang Ming also knew that there was no drug that the alliance could not find that could have such a good effect. This was equivalent to a double play.

However, this time at his home court, Jiang Ming specially sent someone to check the visiting team's locker room in advance and also sent a photographer to the press box to follow and photograph James.

The situation was the same as in the previous two games, no sweating, no heavy breathing, and no purple face.

He was sure that even if he took drugs, he asked Robert to work overtime one hour after the game to write a real-name report letter directly to David Stern's personal email.

At this point, the official email address of the alliance is useless and it is too late.

You're doing this, right?

Jiang Mingke didn't want to wait another year.

He could also let his players take this medicine, after all, the medical representative has contacted the clinic, but he will not do so.

Let's have a fair fight!
You're going to do your best to help the team, and you're showing off in our home court? You should try taking drugs!

Of course, Jiang Ming, who was well versed in alliances and the rules of officialdom, asked Robert to write the content of the letter in a serious but emotional way. Anyway, it was written very well.

Title: Real-name report on LeBron James’ suspected long-term use of banned drugs!

Then, the conclusions drawn from the last three games were analyzed from a medical perspective, indicating that the level of free testosterone in the body must be checked!
It’s not just three games that are analyzed, but only these three games of Jiang Ming’s that we started paying attention to.

Jiang Ming didn't say what the drug was. What if there was something else besides ZMA? Let's check it out!
But the report that James had taken banned drugs means that the league must conduct a strict inspection of his entire body and his recent intake!
The way to explain it is that if these drugs that allow athletes to maintain a high competitive level for such a long time continue to spread, then rookies will not be able to enter the NBA. Today's players can get big contracts if they play well in their contract years, and veterans rely on drugs to extend their careers. What's the point of the NBA?
Just become a drug alliance!

David Stern understands all this at a glance. Without fresh blood, there will be no new commercial endorsement contracts or new sponsors, and the NBA will perish on its own.

Finally, the dangers of taking drugs were discussed from a humanistic perspective:
“As a doctor with professional ethics, I believe that natural training is the best way to increase muscle mass and enhance the strength of athletes.

Taking medication will have a strong effect in the short term, but in the long run it will cause irreversible damage to the body. The consequences are unpredictable and may not appear until 10 or 20 years later.

We know that an athlete's career only lasts a few years, but life after retirement is still long. I don't want to see retired players suffer from injuries in their later years. The league probably doesn't want to see that either, right? "

The league certainly doesn't want to see this, because then it is likely that the NBA will be in trouble.

The players also have something to say. Are you responsible for not conducting a thorough review? Now that I have a problem, you have to take responsibility (pay the medical expenses!).

This is what Jiang Ming learned from the Chinese: “Speak the truth to people and lies to ghosts.”

In fact, this is easy to refute, so I just wrote it for the NBA to see.

Because from another perspective, since his professional career is only a few years long, wouldn't it be nice to earn a lifetime of money and endorsement fees by using drugs to achieve results?

Jiang Ming has seen many Americans like this. In free America, what they value is enjoying life in the moment. Even if the consequence is shortening their life by a few years, they are willing to make money and enjoy themselves first.

And as for the sequelae, high-intensity training also has sequelae. Naturally, if the training is severe, there may be irreversible damage.

For example, some players may suffer from lumbar disc herniation after training too hard, which is a lifelong injury.

So the things here cannot be explained in detail or dialectically.

Fortunately, we have Robert, a master of papers. Once he writes, he will definitely fool the NBA.

And finally, the Trail Blazers medical team represented by Jiang Ming also "threatened" David Stern:
"If the alliance does not respond tomorrow, we will make this report public!"

There is no way, the Trail Blazers have already fought a do-or-die battle, with Game 2 in two days, and it will be at the opponent's home court.

If the league was a little slow, the Heat would have won.

What’s the point of finding out about stimulants after winning?
The finals cannot be played again, and the championship trophy is still with the Heat. At most, it will make their championship seem unclean, but what benefits will it get for the Trail Blazers?

What we need to do now is to punish James. It will be up to the league to decide whether to ban him or not. At the very least, we should stop James from taking drugs!

new York.

Empire State Building.

NBA league headquarters.

David Stern, who was working on the Heat's home championship plan and preparing to have his employees deliver the O'Brien Cup to the American Airlines Arena, dropped everything he was doing and immediately opened the email when he saw it.

Because his private email accounts are only shared by the management of 30 NBA teams, which means that there are only 30 platforms that can send him emails. Basically, the emails sent to him privately are important, so he usually checks them immediately.

hiss.
He got a headache when he saw the title.

After reading the content, David Stern felt suddenly much older and collapsed in his chair.

"Doctor Jiang Ming. Hey!"

Why did he suddenly become deflated? It wasn’t because of this email, because he had received emails of this type before.

Don't even mention it has been received. Someone mentioned it publicly last week.

Nuggets head coach George Karl also said on the show last week that the NBA's inspection of banned drugs is not strict, implying that some people in the league are indeed taking banned drugs.

However, he did not name any players specifically.

If he was named on the show, he probably wouldn't be able to be a head coach in the NBA.

But all this indicates that David Stern must conduct a thorough investigation.

"It seems that we haven't been checking strictly recently, so someone is stirring up trouble."

Ryan, the assistant beside David Stern, also frowned.

But he obviously didn't get the key point that David Stern found tricky.

In fact, it is not because of James, because he knows the rigor of James' team. Players of this level will be very cautious in using drugs. The real stimulants are only used by ordinary players who want to get a chance to play.

but!

It was because of the real-name complaint letter from the Trail Blazers represented by Jiang Ming that David Stern suddenly felt bad.

He had originally planned to create a dynasty like the Bulls after the Heat's Big Three won the championship.

And now, it seems that there can only be one Jordan!

What Dr. Jiang Ming said is definitely not false!
This is what David Stern believes most. After all, he has also used the plasters and Chinese medicine given by Jiang Ming, and they are truly magical.

In addition to his own resume, he said that James took drugs, and there was no need to check it himself, there was definitely a problem!

He originally wanted to make a phone call to ease the atmosphere, but the last sentence interrupted his thoughts.

According to the NBA's established rules, the league's drug testing is very strict.

Typically, players undergo multiple random urine tests during the season and also during the offseason.

Even so, there have been no major cases of punishment for taking banned drugs in the league's history.

Because football and basketball are team sports, the proliferation of drugs is useless. If you don’t have the skills, you’re really a bad player.

Especially in basketball, it doesn't mean that you can become stronger by taking drugs and running faster and jumping higher.

You can't make shots, you always commit fouls on defense, and you don't have basic skills.

However, for a superstar player like James, once he is involved in doping, the public opinion storm he will cause will undoubtedly be even more intense!!!
"Doctor Jiang Ming is truly a genius."

David Stern read the letter five more times.

He found that no matter what he did, Jiang Ming had blocked his way.

Regardless of whether James took drugs or not, the fact that he is suspected of doing so will surely be known to the public tomorrow!!!

Because once they send people to investigate, the NBA's anti-drug and anti-doping organizations will be mobilized and will not escape the eyes of reporters.

Moreover, this will not be concealed. The NBA’s own official website will announce matters related to routine doping tests.

Why James?
You know, David Stern wanted to promote him after Kobe. If he was really confirmed, all his previous efforts would be in vain!
