NBA: The best team doctor in history

Chapter 75: The Curse of the Torn City?

But Jiang Ming didn't say much and just accepted it all. After thinking about it, this is Adidas' chief spokesperson, so it's okay, just take it!

It is a waste of money for these big black men to invest in nightclubs. It is better to give it to themselves. At least it will be beneficial to them.

But three days later, Jiang Ming met Garnett directly in Portland.

After Jiang Ming got off work, Garnett's agent took Jiang Ming in a luxury car to the best hotel in Portland to provide medical treatment for Garnett.

"What's going on? The express delivery should have just arrived."

"It's been a day now, and the plaster is working well, but..."

But Garnett still played in last night's game against the Lakers.

"This"

Jiang Ming felt it was difficult to comment. This was not the last game of the finals. Was it necessary?

Maybe he has never been in Garnett's position, so he doesn't understand anyway.

Garnett played for 32 minutes last night, and left the court at the end of the fourth quarter due to exhaustion, covering his knees. Although the game was won, the consequence was that Garnett could not walk upright at all.

Garnett's angry agent directly applied to the team for private treatment, and a flight from Los Angeles to Portland became Jiang Ming's largest customer.

The Celtics medical team initially thought that Garnett was going to New York for treatment, so they did not stop him. They recognized the level of the New York Medical Center, but they were shocked when they found out that Garnett was going to Portland.

Go to the veterinarian?

At worst, he could go to Minnesota, where Garnett was before. Minnesota is famous for its orthopedics. Garnett rarely had injuries when he was in the Timberwolves because Robbie's sports medicine team was experienced. Why is he going to the Trail Blazers now? Do you believe in Chinese medicine?

By the time they wanted to stop it, they had already landed in Portland.

Jiang Ming was also very clear. He knew just by touching Garnett that he couldn't walk upright because of the pain in his right knee due to excessive weight on it.

Then he used his new needles to directly pierce the Yanglingquan, Yinlingquan, Heding, Liangqiu, Xuehai, Zusanli and other acupoints to relieve Garnett's pain and inflammation, and then called Sean to give Garnett moxibustion.

Sean came to the hotel in casual clothes and was shocked when he saw Garnett. This is a real superstar:
"Wow, is this extra money?"

Jiang Ming smiled and said, "Don't worry, you will get overtime pay."

Sean quickly took action. He didn't expect that a big shot like Garnett would find Jiang Ming. This was a bit exaggerated.

This business is a bit too big. You know, even if Jensen and Thomas' team wanted to treat Garnett at their own expense, he would not be willing to come.

But Garnett's expression showed that the agent had found the right person for him.

After acupuncture pierced the painful points and then combined with the warmth of moxibustion, Garnett slept so peacefully for the first time. It was so comfortable and the pain in his knees was greatly reduced.

"Recuperate here for a week, and then take those Chinese medicines and plasters when you return to Boston. Anyway, don't exercise for a month. The knee needs to be healed. We Chinese believe that it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. 100 days is the best. Of course, I also know that the regular season will be over in 100 days, so a month is necessary."

Seeing Jiang Ming's serious expression, the agent nodded:
"Don't worry, since he's injured this time, he'll be sidelined for a month. Kevin's health is the most important thing. He can't risk his life for this team anymore."

Since Garnett joined the Celtics, the training intensity has doubled compared to the Timberwolves. Now that I think about it, it's not worth it to ruin his body.

Garnett asked Jiang Mingdao with some distress:

"Doctor Jiang, can I recover to my previous condition in a month?"

His depressed expression was completely different from the arrogant wolf king on the field.

But as doctors, Jiang Ming and Sean are used to seeing this expression in patients. No matter which department the patient is from, as long as he lies in the hospital bed, he will have this emotion.

Ordinary people are a little better, but athletes who rely on their bodies for a living are really afraid of serious injuries, and Garnett's knee is already a serious injury right now.

Then he would definitely worry whether he could return to his peak after the serious injury, or whether he would become weaker and weaker.

People just can't accept that they are getting old.

Sometimes just one injury can make an athlete feel old.

At this time, the doctor needs to provide psychological counseling to the patient.

Sean could only stammer, "No." "It's okay." But Jiang Ming said directly:

"Mentally, this season is the most difficult year in your career. Recovery from physical injuries requires a long psychological adjustment. Keep a good attitude, recuperate slowly, and you will recover."

Although Jiang Ming knew that even if he recovered from this injury, he would never be able to return to his peak form, but that's what a doctor has to do, to "cheat" his patients appropriately.

Now the aging of Garnett's joints is irreversible. In Jiang Ming's opinion, his career will last at most 10 years with intermittent playing, and 5 years at most if he is a starter, unless the Americans produce knee pads that completely eliminate the need for knee force.

But if this thing really exists, the NBA will definitely ban it. It is against the spirit of sportsmanship.

And if he insists on playing later, he will most likely have to undergo surgery to completely remove the meniscus or replace it with an alloy to replace the joint function, but these will cause greater damage to the body. It's not like Garnett hasn't earned enough money for the rest of his life. Unless he really loves the NBA, he will definitely give up this professional basketball job and retire behind the scenes.

With his fame, he will definitely have a good job after retirement, so Jiang Ming said this. Garnett will not have to worry about the future, and he should focus on recovering from his current injury first.

Garnett nodded after feeling the warmth from his knees:

"Okay, then I'll seriously get back on track. It's time to get some more rest."

The agent pulled Jiang Ming to the door and whispered:

"As long as he can stop feeling pain and play basketball normally in a month, just name your price for the treatment."

"Let's talk about it in a month. You've already paid for the medicine."

Paper wrapped fire.

Soon the news that the Trail Blazers veterinarian treated Garnett's knee was spread by the media, and the most angry person was Timberwolves chief team doctor Roby.

He commented directly in the newspaper:
"From the time he entered the league in 95 until he left the Timberwolves last year, our team has always been responsible for KG's health. We have known his knees very well over the past 10 years. How could he go to the Trail Blazers for treatment? I don't understand. I hereby announce that I will never treat Garnett again."

Then Garnett fans criticized the Timberwolves official Twitter:
"Those were his golden ten years, which were wasted in you Timberwolves. It's understandable that he doesn't want to return to the place of sorrow!"

"Besides, Dr. Jiang Ming has become quite famous recently. He has a good chance of winning the best team doctor this year. Is it okay to ask him to treat us? The Celtics' own team doctor didn't say anything."

"The Celtics' doctor doesn't dare to speak. Garnett has only been here for one season. He is a superstar and needs to be coaxed!"

"Please stop praising Jiang Ming. Recently, Roy is averaging 5.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game. The Trail Blazers have lost four games in a row and are now ninth in the Western Conference. I don't believe that there is no injury!"

"Yes, Dr. Jiang went there on New Year's Day and didn't see Roy's performance. What about the new OK combination? It was first abandoned by the Trail Blazers' veterinarian!"

And on the same night when they were arguing heatedly online, the Trail Blazers played against the Timberwolves at home.

Jiang Ming also rushed to the home court to watch the game. He hadn't been to watch several games. Since Oden's test results are normal every time now, there is no need to watch the two and a half hours of game on site every time.

In the regular season, he prefers to watch key games, such as strong confrontations and battles between old rivals, and the final positioning battle of the season is also interesting.

He came to see her today because Jiang Muyan told him that Roy has been acting abnormal recently, and there have been rumors about the Trail Blazers and him.

What's the matter with this Dr. Jiang who treated Garnett's knee? He couldn't even cure his own star player's knee.

Jiang Ming went to the field and took a look.
No, you don't need to look. After the first quarter, Roy sat on the bench and said his knee hurt.

"what happened!"

Head coach Nate McMillan is extremely anxious. If they continue to lose, they won't make it to the playoffs. 9th to 12th place is the most embarrassing. They don't have a good draft pick and can't make it to the playoffs. It's like a whole season has been wasted.

So he glared at Jensen. What on earth was wrong with this team's medical team? Seeing young main players get injured one after another???

Could it really be the curse of the Torn City?

Thinking of this, he felt pain in his right Achilles tendon.

Jiang Ming saw Roy's knee was not protected at all and shook his head. He pulled Robert beside him and asked:
"Don't you know that his knees are easily injured? No protection at all?"

Robert was startled when he heard Jiang Ming's angry tone:
"Look at how high he jumps every time. How could there be a problem?"

"That's an unscientific jump, why don't you correct it!!!"
