NBA: The best team doctor in history

Chapter 77: Yan Sen VS Jiang Ming, internal and external troubles!
Yan Sen, who was already upset, frowned when he saw Jiang Ming come out to speak:
"Why should I treat you?"

“Because I’m more scientific.”

"you!!!"

Jensen's face instantly turned red with anger, but Bert Cold said:

"Let Minister Jiang Ming take a look too. He has his own treatment."

Jiang Ming waved his hand and said:
"There's no need to wait and see. Roy's current condition requires the most scientific exercise therapy from warm-up to actual combat. I'll make him learn how to protect his knees. Otherwise, if he continues to fight like this, his knees will be completely useless."

Thomas Reese winked at Jiang Ming:
"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Jiang Ming stepped forward and stopped Yan Sen and said:
"Don't let Roy do the ladder training anymore. His knee is already tired. He should lie flat on his back and apply ice now!"

"I know that people may think that I don't have a sports medicine degree and don't know much about these sports rehabilitation trainings, but I'm sorry, I'm really a bit of an all-rounder."

As a branch of medical science, sports medicine is committed to applying medical means to serve sports on the one hand, and on the other hand, it regards various sports as components of medicine, namely sports therapy or medical exercise or medical sports.

These two aspects are intertwined and supportive of each other, constituting the profound connotation of sports medicine.

Modern medicine is transforming from the traditional biological model to the bio-psycho-social model.

The development of modern society has changed people's lifestyles, as well as the concepts of quality of life and disease.

Physical therapy is becoming one of the most popular clinical and rehabilitation medical methods in modern society because its connotation conforms to the new medical model.

So from NBA team doctors to gym rehabilitation therapists, doctors who know sports medicine are becoming more and more sought-after.

This is also the reason why Jiang Ming came to the NBA to be a team doctor. These two years of learning were not in vain.

In addition, he was able to tell that Maffei was deficient in Qi and blood, help Yi Jianlian straighten his bones instantly, and give Oden a one-stop Chinese medicine suit, which attracted Garnett to come.
They can also provide sports therapy that best suits their identity as team doctors!
But Yansen was really stubborn, and his words made Jiang Ming confused:

"If I can't cure this, I will step down as chief."

Roy and Larry Miller, who had been silent, also nodded. Yes, Roy's problem was definitely not a big deal, and Jensen often used this kind of exercise therapy. There was no need for other team doctors to intervene.

And everyone knows that seeing a doctor too many times is not good, so everyone has their own treatment method.

The reason why Jensen can be as stable as a rock in the Trail Blazers is that his set of skills has really trained many players. The Trail Blazers players may get injured from time to time, but it is also a fact that they are never weak on the court.

"You are making a joke of the career of a future superstar."

But Jiang Ming was annoyed by Yan Sen’s shameless remarks and responded directly.

Because as a doctor you have the opportunity to trial and error, but what about players?

His professional career is only a few years long. Does he have the chance to make mistakes?

Who cares if he just says he's going to step down as the chief or something like that? What we want is for the players to be healthy, comfortable and play without any burden!

Jensen said angrily:

"Jiang, what's wrong with you today? You're floating after curing Oden? Who's kidding? Did I cure him casually or something?"

Seeing this, Roy muttered in the most awkward way:
"It's okay. I feel like I'll be better tomorrow. There's no need to make such a fuss."

Jiang Ming shook his head:

"You may be able to get better the next day after a previous game, but today is different. You can't train tomorrow."

Jensen: "No, it's enough that you take care of Oden. What are you doing? Don't you trust us?"

Robert also quickly came from behind to pull Jiang Ming over. He didn't expect Jiang Ming to be so impulsive all of a sudden. It was not worth it to directly conflict with the chief.

To be honest, Bert Cold didn't expect this either. He thought Jiang Ming would at most go forward to check and then prescribe some Chinese medicine for Roy to assist in treatment.

But Jiang Ming directly criticized the sports medicine profession that Jensen is best at. Isn't this equivalent to shitting on his head?

The scene suddenly became awkward. One was the chief team doctor, and the other was the director of the Chinese medicine team doctor department, who had recently improved the reputation of the Trail Blazers team doctor and became an "Internet celebrity".
These two people are competing for the treatment rights of the team's top scorer!
The showdown between Jensen and Jiang Ming finally came, much earlier than expected.

Larry Miller came out to smooth things over:
"Well, both of you stop arguing. Just give our chief a month of treatment. Is that enough?" "If you still feel your knee is problematic after a month, Roy, you can go to the Chinese Medicine Department for treatment? I think everyone agrees now."

Larry Miller also did not mention anything about Jensen's resignation as chief. He is an old fox now, so if he said this, it means that he does not want Jensen to continue to be chief.

It would be best if he remembers this kind of thing when the time comes, but it doesn't matter if he doesn't remember. After all, this is the team doctor trusted by both the former and current bosses, and he, as the president who has only been in office for a few years, can't touch this old guy easily.

"no problem."

Jensen was the first to agree, because he had been doing examinations for a while and it was obvious that Roy's illness was not serious.

Roy naturally nodded. In the past two years, Chief Jensen and Thomas have been working together to provide him with physical therapy and sports medicine training, so he is used to it.

"This"

Only Jiang Ming hesitated. He wanted to say that unless Roy rested completely for a month, his knee would become more and more serious due to the wrong diagnosis and landing posture.

So he really wanted to change Roy's knee force and landing posture.

But it seems like Jensen doesn't want him to have any contact with Roy in the past month.

In addition, Roy himself has a Buddhist attitude.

Since I have reached the point where doctors don't even knock on doors, I can only give up.

They will come to me on their own initiative.

A month is still enough, and it will not cause permanent damage at the current pace. If it is a season, Jiang Ming cannot guarantee it, especially after the All-Star Game, everyone is playing the qualifying battle seriously. Roy will definitely work harder and his meniscus will be more exhausted.

"Okay, that's it. The game is almost over. Minister Jiang, please give Oden treatment as soon as possible."

Seeing that Jiang Ming was hesitant and wanted to speak, Larry Miller winked at Chris McGowan and Bert Cold, and the two of them quickly pulled the righteous Jiang Ming out of the medical room. Everyone dispersed and stopped watching Jensen and the others receive treatment. With such an atmosphere, anyone who stayed would be an unlucky person, waiting to be scolded by Jensen.

Yansen couldn't scold Jiang Ming, but it was easy to scold his subordinates.

Chris McGowan also pulled Jiang Ming into the coaches' meeting room and talked:

"From the day we announced that the management will directly manage your department, you are bound to have conflicts. After all, he and Thomas cannot control your department. I didn't expect that this conflict was initiated by you. But don't worry, as long as Roy is still injured in a month, we will make him resign as the chief!"

Bert was also helpless and said, "Yeah, this old man is too old-fashioned. Can't I ask you to take a look? But you are indeed impulsive. Look, prescribe some medicine for Roy in private, and no one will say anything. Why accuse him in person?
As long as you keep working hard, the position of chief team doctor will be yours sooner or later, you are so outstanding. "

Jiang Ming was even more helpless:

"It's not a question of whether it will cause a conflict or not, nor is it a question of what position I want to be in. It's just that Roy's injury can't be delayed any longer. I actually saw it more than a month ago, but I hadn't established my footing at that time. Now that I have the opportunity to bring it up, I must bring it up."

After hearing these words, Bert Cold really had a new respect for Jiang Ming. He thought that his old friend Paul Allen was right about him. This guy really didn't come to the Trail Blazers to make money or fame. He really did it for the good of the players.

Thinking of this, he said directly:
"Okay, can we hold on for a month? After a month, no matter what happens, I will let Roy listen to your guidance. You mean to improve his shooting and landing posture and train his knee protection posture, right?"

"Yes, that's what I mean."

McGowan was stunned when he saw Bert's attitude. Doesn't his attitude towards Jiang Ming mean that the boss also favors Jiang Ming?

Could this really make Jiang Ming the youngest chief team doctor in history?
Thinking about it this way, Jensen is under a lot of pressure. Will he let Roy take appropriate rest this month?
McGowan rejected it himself. Given Jensen's personality, he would consider it a loss if Roy was given a rest for a game. It is unlikely that he would take advantage of the situation and let Roy have a good rest for this month to keep his position.

This may be the last stubbornness of him, Thomas Reese and Robert!

As for Jiang Ming, this guy is really an all-round talent. He also knows sports medicine training?
Anyway, he hasn't seen it.

Just haven't waited a month yet.

With the arrival of the mid-season, the Trail Blazers suddenly faced internal and external troubles.

Roy returned in the second game with a knee muscle tape tied to his back, and he continued to play normally with the tape and knee brace on.

But other players on Jensen's team had health problems.

Backup center Joel Przybila of Minnesota has a stress fracture in his left foot.

Point guard Steve Blake, who finally became the starting point guard this season, tore the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow.
The big challenge for the Trail Blazers’ medical team is here!
