NBA: The best team doctor in history

Chapter 76: Outdated Jensen, I will do rehabilitation for Yellow Mamba!

"What! Another knee problem? And it's all about the right knee?"

"Let the public know that Roy needs to be checked out, so don't fight him yet."

At this time, Larry Miller also came over to check on the situation of the Yellow Mamba. He didn't care about the score and the result on the field, and took Roy directly to the infirmary.

Are you kidding? Roy is the absolute pillar of the Trail Blazers' outside line, he can't be injured.

The only Blazers team doctor on the scene was the bald man, who was sitting behind the bench. Everyone else, including Jiang Ming, rushed to the infirmary to check on the situation.

Roy's sudden departure after the first quarter made the audience at the scene and in front of the TV gasp.

what's the situation? ?

Could it be another ligament tear?

Isn't this kind of thing happening frequently in the Torn City? When the team could be thriving, a star player suddenly tears a ligament in some part of his body, causing the team's record to plummet. Naturally, it is impossible for the team to pursue a championship.

Garnett, who was recuperating at the Portland Grand Hotel, couldn't help but pinch his balls when seeing this scene, because his right knee was also more seriously injured. Now such a young Roy had fallen down.

Is this Doctor Jiang Ming trying to trick him?
It was said that it could cure the knee.

A rising star like Roy who just entered the league fell down because of a knee injury?
Thinking of this, Garnett, who was receiving routine acupuncture treatment from Sean, became worried again. He had already offended the former team doctor Robbie's team because of this treatment. If Jiang Ming's team didn't work, he would have nowhere to go for treatment.

"Bro, he couldn't even protect such a young player, and he let him suffer a knee injury without any confrontation. Are you sure he can heal such a serious injury of mine?"

Just as Garnett was asking his agent who also lived in Bengbu with a heavy heart, Sean, who usually didn't talk much, spoke up:

"Roy is not our minister's responsibility. Minister Jiang has never treated him."

Garnett then wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was really afraid that all his efforts over the past few days were in vain. Although Jiang Ming's treatment methods seemed very clever and special, the facts were shown on TV just now.

The agent also breathed a sigh of relief, and then answered the call from the Celtics management:
"What are you arguing about! Dr. Jiang is not responsible for Roy. If you don't believe me, call Larry Miller yourself!"

Sean was stunned for a moment, thinking that he is worthy of being a top superstar. He can be so tough in front of the management. The Trail Blazers currently have no such players, they are all a bunch of rookies.

But if Minister Jiang Ming treats more patients like Garnett in the future, will he be able to be so tough in front of the management?
And indeed.

After arriving at the infirmary, Jiang Ming didn't even have a chance to do anything.

Jensen and Thomas Reese personally treated him, and no one else had a chance to get close to him.

But he also witnessed Jensen's treatment methods with his own eyes.

He first asked Roy to get down on the ground and try to see which part of his body hurt, from the subscapularis muscle to the collateral ligament of the knee, ankle, and Achilles tendon.
Then Roy was asked to do agility ladder leg raise stretches at a high rate.

“It’s hard to judge.”

Jiang Ming wanted to come out to stop him but was held back by Robert:

"Brother, don't!"

"Overstretching!"

"Then don't say it now!"

Robert glanced at Jensen and Thomas Reese. If Jiang Ming went up to deny these two highly respected chiefs in front of so many staff members, wouldn't he be directly going against the entire team's medical team?

In this way, his Traditional Chinese Medicine Department and Jensen’s team will be incompatible, and one of them will definitely leave in the future.

Jiang Ming saw that Roy's expression was painful every time he raised his legs and landed. At this time, his ligaments should be stretched and contracted repeatedly like rubber bands.

Keep stretching when the injury has already occurred?
If this is really the injured part, wouldn't it aggravate the condition?
However, from the rehabilitation exercises that Roy can complete by himself, it can be seen that his injury is not "devastating".

Jiang Ming saw clearly from behind that the reason why Roy couldn't continue playing tonight was because of knee fatigue and acute inflammation caused by strain. After all, he was young and he would recover naturally after a few days of rest.

Then Jiang Ming could understand why Roy’s condition was getting worse and worse, because he couldn’t rest.

The team's goal this season is the playoffs, so the main outside core can't and dare not get injured, but the performance on the court doesn't lie. Before Roy's injury: 22.6 points, 4.7 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 1.1 steals
After injury: 5.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, 4.6 assists.

It's a cliff-like decline, and yet they still force him to play in this situation. They really treat the players like cattle and horses instead of human beings!
At this time, we still have to learn from the Spurs. Even if they are scolded by fans and the NBA, they will let the main players take turns to rest from time to time to preserve the lineup for the playoffs.

The way the Trail Blazers are playing now, even if they make the playoffs, with Roy's attitude of playing the entire regular season, they will still be beaten by the powerful top four teams in the Western Conference.

While Jiang Ming was watching the two chiefs examining Roy, the person next to him was replaced by Bert Cold, the president's assistant.

He asked casually:
"JIANG, what do you think of him? Is he okay?"

"It's okay. You need to have a good rest." Jiang Ming wanted to suggest adjusting his shooting posture, doing rehabilitation exercises or something like that, but after thinking about it, he decided to wait until he could formally propose it to the management and Jensen and others.

"What's the reason?" Bert Cold was obviously dissatisfied with Jiang Ming's Tai Chi statement and continued to ask.

Jiang Ming:

"We are now one-third into the regular season. With continuous high-load competitions, fatigue factors such as lactic acid and ammonia in the knees accumulate excessively, which can easily lead to problems."

He also hinted:
"Roy's violent guard style of play can refresh his own scoring records time and time again, breaking the limit and improving the team's performance, but it is too harmful to the body. The body can only bear so much, and when it can't bear it, it will react or even backfire, which will hurt itself."

"Are you saying that his rehabilitation exercise method is unreasonable?"

"It's not unreasonable, but it's not suitable for Roy."

Jiang Ming actually heard from the skinny power forward Channing Frye that when Jensen gave him rehabilitation training, he felt like he was doing strength training. Obviously, rehabilitation training should be a very comfortable stretch, but Jensen made everyone practice the same way as the muscular players of the last century. After each training session, not to mention that their bodies were stretched, it was good enough if they were not overdrawn.

In other words, the NBA regular season is already a dense schedule, and Jensen's team also uses high-intensity rehabilitation training on non-game days. How can there not be physical problems? ? ?
This may be the real reason for "Torn City".

Indeed, as the chief team doctor of the NBA, Jensen has the most extensive experience and top rehabilitation training skills.

But when he generalizes everyone, it is doomed that the team will never be fully healthy all the time.

It's like letting Nash practice Malone's training class, is this possible???

Jiang Ming is indeed very suitable to be a team doctor. He can accurately find out whether each player's body has reached its limit after training or playing through the players' muscle performance and observation, smell, questioning and palpation, and can tell whether they need to add or subtract weight.

But Jensen just mechanically let Roy feel the pain points with an expressionless face. Maybe he thought it was completely fine.

That's normal. He studied sports medicine in the 1970s and 1980s. Compared with today's training methods, their technology was definitely not scientific enough, and the medical level was not high enough.

Jiang Ming also knows that the NBA at that time was not as "flashy" as it is now.

At that time, it was all about muscle confrontation. We were all men of steel and would train ourselves to death as long as we didn't die.

You can tell from Jensen’s temper that he’s actually a nice guy, just too hardcore.

It can also be said that if you cannot accept new things, you are OUT.

The same goes for training. They want to train everyone to be tough guys. Can a skinny and flexible type like Blake train his biceps every day?

Moreover, Jensen has always believed that young people do not need treatment for minor illnesses except serious ones.

In other words, they pay little attention to post-match recovery and health management.

Fortunately, the Trail Blazers haven't had many veterans in recent years, otherwise the veterans wouldn't be able to withstand the treatment his team has given them.

Bert Cold saw Jiang Ming's gloomy face and knew that he had a lot of opinions about the treatment in front of him. Bert Cold, who now had a completely new respect for him, naturally would not let Jensen continue like this. He walked out of the crowd and said:

"Um, can we ask the Chinese Medicine Department to take a look at Roy's injury?"

Jiang Ming, who couldn't bear to watch, saw Bert Cold paving the way for him, and said without hesitation:

"I'm going to do rehabilitation training for the Yellow Mamba. By the way, I'm going to change his landing habits."

Everyone looked over at once, and the first thought in their mind was:
"This Chinese doctor has no moral principles! If he wants to take Roy over, won't it mean that both of the top doctors will be treated by the Chinese medicine department?"
