NBA: The best team doctor in history

Chapter 70: Fighting the Elite

In fact, in the past half month, everyone has seen Oden's recovery speed with their own eyes. From the beginning of training, he didn't dare to run at full speed and didn't dare to train his legs in the gym.
Yesterday, I did several full-on sprints and 220KG squats.
In addition, Jiang Ming personally takes Oden to do rehabilitation exercises every day.
Everything seems to be fine.

But when the facts were laid out in front of everyone, everyone exclaimed in amazement. They really did it!
It took 35 days to repair the uneven legs!
This time the applause was real applause. Everyone clapped vigorously and spontaneously, including Oden, who excitedly hugged Jiang Ming and patted his back until it hurt:
"You did it Dr. Jiang! I love you!! You are amazing!"

Sean from Jiang Ming's department rubbed his eyes. He couldn't believe what was happening. He could have measured Oden himself in advance, but he was worried about his legs being different in length so he never dared to do so.

After all, based on my previous professional experience, people with different leg lengths cannot be cured by conservative treatment. The most they can do is take painkillers and infrared therapy to reduce the pain.

And even if it is surgery, the recovery period starts at half a year.

So it was really exaggerated that the cure could be completed in one month. Now think about it, the heart-wrenching leg straightening for Oden a few days later was truly miraculous!
Jensen and Robert also took Thomas Reese's ruler and measured Oden again with their own hands.

In fact, the more you understand medicine, the more you know how exaggerated the current situation is. Did Jiang Ming really do it?
Is it better to stick black paste on your face and prick it with needles every day than to go to the operating table?

After the measurement, they were all shocked and looked at each other with Thomas Reese.

The management didn't care about that. Chris McGowan and Bert happily came over to shake hands with Jiang Ming and celebrate:

"Then congratulations to Oden and our Doctor Jiang!"

"Great! From now on, the health of our team members is in your hands!"

"Thank you, Dr. Jiang! You saved our top student's career."

After the president said this, Jensen and Thomas Reese both smiled awkwardly.

They all knew what the president meant by this.

If it weren't for Jiang Ming, Oden would now be undergoing the wrong arthroscopic surgery on his right knee. Not only would he be out for the season, but he would still have uneven legs after recovery, and his right knee and ankle would still be worn out. Wouldn't he have to undergo endless surgeries in the future?

After all, if Jiang Ming hadn't pointed out that Oden had different leg lengths, no one in the entire venue would have noticed it!

So I really have to thank Jiang Ming, this guy really saved the lives of the entire pioneers.

Just as everyone was celebrating Oden's comeback, Jiang Muyan held her head high and chest puffed out, took out an image and walked over to put it under the light: "To be on the safe side, I took Oden to get an MRI yesterday. This is the MRI of both knee cartilages and ankles."

Jiang Ming winked at her and gave her a thumbs up.

The female doctor was thoughtful. Indeed, Oden's initial injury was not due to leg length disparity, but the MRI showed that the knee cartilage was worn. Therefore, if they want to ensure that he can return, they also have to look at the current condition of his knee.

We can't just ignore Oden's knees just because he's so active every day.

Now all the doctors present gathered together.

These veterans have seen thousands or tens of thousands of MRI images. They can tell at a glance that the wear and tear on Oden's right knee and ankle have completely disappeared, and the left side is also normal.

So they all took a look and stood aside silently without saying anything, but they felt mixed emotions in their hearts. This new minister is so fucking awesome. He took a man who was about to undergo surgery and recovered into a completely normal athlete in just one month!
It was Robert who said: "The wear and tear has also disappeared, and everyone can rest assured."

Instead, Jiang Ming said modestly:

"This wear and tear has been resting for so long. Once the length of the legs is healed, it will naturally heal itself."

Oden's agent quickly said:
"Nonono, I feel that your acupuncture has a really good anti-inflammatory effect."

Oden also said:

"Yes, I always feel that the needle can prick the painful spot of my knee, but recently with the increase in exercise, the pain has become less and less, and it really healed."

Jiang Ming smiled and said, "Because you exercise the muscles around your knees, with the muscles protecting them, there is naturally less wear and tear."

Seeing that no one had any more questions, Larry Miller clapped his hands and said loudly:
"Okay, since Oden's legs have returned to normal height and he doesn't need to wear arch pads anymore, should he return in the next game? But the next game is against the second-ranked Celtics in the Eastern Conference, should we let him rest for another game?"

Robert was stunned and muttered:

"The Celtics, and it's an away game, so the intensity must be high. Is it possible to play such a high-intensity game right after your comeback?"

Oden was the first to speak out and said directly:

"No, no, I can't stand it any longer. If I have to endure it for two more days, I will die!" The spokesperson stopped him:
"Do you want to lose every time you come back? It's okay to take a break. No one will blame you."

"If we don't play against strong teams, then what's the purpose of us, the Trail Blazers, entering the playoffs? Isn't it just to play against strong teams?"

Everyone started chatting at once.

Larry Miller looked at Jensen:

"What's the chief's opinion?"

Yan Sen looked directly at Jiang Ming:

"Dr. Jiang is Oden's attending physician. Let's listen to Dr. Jiang's opinion."

After saying that, everyone looked at Jiang Ming.

Seeing Oden's hopeful look, Jiang Ming smiled and said:

"Aren't we fighting against the elite? I support going on the field."

"Then fight!"

After 1 hours.

The official website of the Trail Blazers and the official website of the NBA jointly released news that Greg Oden will return in tomorrow's away game against the Boston Celtics!

Oden himself tweeted:
"Trail Blazers, your inside king is back!!!"

Trail Blazers fans rejoice!
“The team actually lived up to its promise!”

"That Chinese doctor minister is awesome!"

“Let’s do it!!”

"Gogogo! The Torn City is no longer torn apart!"

"@Oden, when you play against Garnett tomorrow, use your weight advantage and fight him!"

"You guys are so brave to come back and play against the Green Army."

Pierce, who was surfing the Internet, said: "You look down on us? Fine, let me see what level this year's No. 1 pick is!"

Garnett said in an interview: "I can beat the shit out of him. I can only say welcome him to the NBA. Not all players can choose our team to come back!"

Such exciting news and the upcoming strong confrontation made the fans excited in advance, and Jiang Ming’s number of fans on major social platforms increased significantly.

The next day.

Because this is Oden's first game after his comeback, management asked the team's medical staff to send one person to accompany the team to the away game so that if Oden has any problems, he can receive timely treatment.

Then this person must be Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming, dressed in white, boarded the team plane with Oden and rushed to Boston. On the plane, he also heard Nate McMillan's team tactics for the first time:

"The Celtics like to play pick-and-roll with Pierce and Garnett. We must stick to these two. Oden can stay in the paint to provide backup defense, and Garnett can be handed over to Aldridge!"

Then as he was speaking he suddenly cueed the bystander Jiang Ming.

The dark-skinned bald man McMillan suddenly looked at Jiang Mingdao:

"Doctor Jiang, I heard that you can tell the physical condition of the opposing players just by looking at them. Recently, the Celtics have been frequently reported to have injuries. If you find anyone in poor condition at the scene, tell us immediately and we will keep an eye on him!"

Jiang Ming laughed out loud:
"Kill him while he's sick, eh? Okay, no problem."
