NBA: The best team doctor in history

Chapter 46: The reason why the number one scholar is the number one scholar is that he pops champagne at halftime!

After Roy landed with his entire foot on the ground, Jiang Ming felt that this was real cartilage damage.

Compared to Oden's knee wear caused by the accumulated wear and tear of his body structure.

Roy's playing style stimulates the knee cartilage with every move. Not to mention that he jumps up without bending his knees when catching the ball, just look at the way he lands. Won't the sports physiotherapists and analysts correct it for him?

Generally, players land on the forefoot, and the back of the foot follows to share the pressure so that the force can be completely unloaded.

Roy has landed on the soles of his feet or even the entire sole of his feet several times. Maybe he is pursuing a straight up and down handsome look.
But in Jiang Ming's opinion, every shock made his knees hurt.

This is because the force from the body weight is not completely unloaded to the wooden floor. If the whole foot is on the ground, the force cannot dissipate slowly, but will rebound to the knees and ankles.

This is quite a blow to the cartilage.

Only Roy, a sophomore, may be able to endure it because he is young, but Jiang Ming feels that if there is a problem, it may be a serious problem like having the meniscus removed directly.

But it's much more serious than Oden.

Although Oden plays violently, he is very good at protecting himself when he lands. Apparently he has done standardized force-dissipating training since he was a child, so except for the injuries caused by his different leg lengths, other parts of his body are in good condition.

Although Jiang Ming has not seen the image of Roy's knee, unless Roy's meniscus is made of iron, it is definitely wearing out.

"When I become a team doctor, I will definitely correct Roy's landing posture. It's too straight."

Jiang Ming thought silently.

While he was distracted, Oden and Durant were already having a heated conversation. The two first and second picks this year finally had a face-to-face dialogue under the arrangement of the coaching staff.

Choose pick-and-roll for all!

The tactic Durant used against Oden was a big change of direction, a kneeling shot, and a fadeaway jump shot.

In Jiang Ming's opinion, even if Jordan came, he could only pray that he would not be able to make the shot.

Because when someone with Durant's height and wingspan does this kind of move, people taller than him definitely can't keep up, and people who can keep up with him are definitely shorter than him.

After being shaken 360 degrees, Oden simply turned his back to grab the rebound, but he ended up watching the ball go in.

On the other hand, Oden's play was much simpler. This time he did not rush to pass the ball, but instead received the ball and turned his back to feel Durant's position.

After feeling Durant's close defense, he shouted "soft" and dribbled the ball with his right hand to squeeze Durant directly into the three-second zone. Then he turned around and made a hook shot easily!
The hook shot is still there!

"The top two students are exploding each other!"

"Is there a possibility that if Oden had Durant's shooting rights, his statistics would be better than Durant's!"

"Yes, the Sonics are so shameless now in order to train Durant that everyone feeds him the ball, and he takes 30 shots per game."

"Oden is so steady!"

"Don't even say he picked the right one for this game. Facing Durant, he has a huge weight advantage. Facing the bottom-ranked Sonics' twin towers, he can easily control them!"

"This game is against two big white blue-collar big men. I can't wait to see him play in the big men's lineup of the league's T0!"

"Yeah, it's a mule or a horse, let's try it against Yao, Gasol, and the former Trail Blazers center Randolph!" Randolph, who was traded away by the Trail Blazers as a cancer, replied directly on Twitter: "I will beat the shit out of him!"

Oden seemed to have heard these "provocations" and got 7 rebounds in the second quarter without many chances to shoot!

The No. 1 center is just different. He was unstoppable in the Sonics' interior and even blocked a mid-range shot by Delonte West. He looks like an all-around offensive and defensive talent!
ESPN homepage news headline:

"The reason why the top scholar is the top scholar!"

At the end of the first half, the Trail Blazers led the Supersonics by 49 points, 40:9.

Oden's 8 points and 11 rebounds in the first half delighted the coaching staff. McMillan half-jokingly told Jensen:

"You also said that we should rest for at least 5 games. Don't make such jokes again!"

Jensen's face twitched. He of course understood that the coaching staff was mocking him. After all, after the smell of Chinese medicine filled the working area of ​​the stadium all day, everyone knew that Oden was being treated by a Chinese doctor.

The Trail Blazers management in the VIP box were almost popping the champagne.

Larry Miller and Deputy General Manager McGowan high-fived each other in celebration, which shows that they made the right decision in this consultation!
Just the performance in this first half is enough to give an answer!

After all, Oden didn't perform so well in the previous games, but because everyone compared him to the poor performances of other No. 8 draft centers when they first entered the league, Oden's mediocre stats of 9+9 and 8+ were not criticized much.

The main thing is that the boss and several shareholders are watching here today. Seeing that Oden's hit rate and rebounding numbers are higher than Durant's, it also proves that their management's vision is correct and they didn't choose the wrong person!

Sure enough, after Paul Allen learned a little about yesterday's consultation with Oden, he took the newspaper with Jiang Ming's photo and said slowly:
"This boy is fine, keep him."

His good friend and assistant to the president, Bert Cold, quickly replied:
"No problem. After Oden plays this game, we will definitely sign him to the team medical team with a high salary."

Paul Allen adjusted his glasses, thought of his team's poor medical staff, and hinted:
"Our medical team needs some younger voices."

At this time, Robert, the youngest member of the Trail Blazers' medical team, was already asking Jiang Ming for advice:
"Brother, this can't be a last gasp, right? The effect is so good?"

He really couldn't believe that just by doing physical therapy and drinking some medicine made from this smelly grass, he could finish the half game in such good health?

The main thing is that the performance is better than before!

"Not really. One of the reasons why Oden performed exceptionally well tonight is that his cartilage had worn out in the previous game. It wasn't to the extent that it affected his running, but it definitely affected his game state.

Another reason is that I gave him more supplements, and his spirits and energy improved. Chinese medicine does not always treat the symptoms perfectly. Decoctions, for example, have many 'side effects' and many other benefits."

Robert was successfully convinced by Jiang Ming's reasoning, and it seemed to be true:
"Yeah, I've rested for almost 3 days, so it's normal for me to perform a little better. Anyway, as long as the knee injury doesn't flare up in the second half, we should be able to be colleagues."

After saying that, he stretched out his hand to shake hands with Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming smiled and patted the back of his hand instead of shaking hands:

"It's not nice to open champagne at halftime, Sean, are you going to leave? Let's buy some popcorn."

Robert laughed out loud after hearing Jiang Ming's words:
"Haha, you can be cautious sometimes. You know what? You can really open the champagne after the show. 10 US dollars is enough to buy a lot of things."

Jiang Ming laughed and scolded:
"Can't you keep it and rent a villa to me?"
