NBA: The best team doctor in history

Chapter 91: Hua Tuo teaches personally, the King of Kung Fu
"real or fake?"

Robert's eyes widened. When he first saw Jiang Ming doing it, he even thought that Jiang Ming was a disciple of Zhang Sanfeng, whom he all knew, but he only knew this famous name.

The main reason is that Jiang Ming's performance was too elegant, while Roy and Oden's performance was very poor. Can ordinary Chinese people do so well?
No wonder it is said that all Chinese people know martial arts.

Seeing that Robert was quite interested, Jiang Ming called him over and said:
"Really? I am the descendant of the authentic ancestor. Come on, it's very good for ordinary people like us to do it once a day in the morning and evening. You can see it in the parks in our country."

Robert was skeptical, but his feet stood directly behind Jiang Ming, wanting to see his every move:
"Okay, I want to see if it's comfortable."

"Here, the second move (drawing the bow with both hands like shooting an eagle), do you think it looks like you are learning martial arts?"

Jiang Ming squatted down in a horse stance and imitated the movements of drawing a bow and shooting an arrow. Ba Duan Jin can actually be considered as an ancient Chinese martial art.

“This move is so cool!”

"Don't talk, just follow me and pay attention to me breathing in and out."

Jiang Ming signaled Robert to stop talking, and then led the four people to do the movements slowly. At the beginning, he did not correct their movements so much, but asked them to learn the breathing method.

Adjusting your breathing and movements can really achieve twice the result with half the effort.

If you get the breathing right, the movements will be comfortable even if they are homemade.

In fact, Chinese medicine mainly talks about Qi. Human body has nine orifices, five internal organs and twelve joints, all of which are related to Qi. It is difficult to expel the "turbid Qi" in the body by simply doing the movements of Ba Duan Jin without circulating Qi.

Therefore, if all the players learn this set of movements, they can relax both physically and mentally.

With the end of the eighth posture (Seven Shakes Behind the Back to Get Rid of All Diseases), Jiang Ming called the four people over to talk about his feelings and principles.

Robert, with a little sweat on his forehead, was the first to express his feelings: "Comfortable!"

Roy: "I like to clench my fists and glare to increase my strength!"

Oden: "I like every move. It's like doing a full body stretch."

Sean: "My feeling is that I want to promote Director Jiang's moves within the team and make sure everyone can do it!"

Jiang understood him at a glance:
"And treat this as morning exercise every day, right?"

"Why not? They are in good health and it will be easy for us too." Sean's mind was still quick.

"That's right. I'll let you be the team leader of Ba Duan Jin. Remember the movements and principles and teach them to our staff later."

"Let me explain the principle now."

Jiang Ming thought about it and realized that if the staff members were in good health, they would not come to him for treatment, which would indirectly reduce his stress, right?
As a member of the medical department, Robert also quickly wrote down what Jiang Ming said.

"Ba Duan Jin has three main effects:
1. Stretching the muscles and bones: For people who sit for long periods of time or work or study at a desk for a long time in daily life, Ba Duan Jin has a smaller range of motion and is less likely to cause sports injuries. It also fully stretches the muscles that are usually tense, avoiding cramps or pain and discomfort caused by muscles being in a tense state for a long time.

2. Clearing the meridians: The eight movements of Ba Duan Jin target different parts of the body, such as the head and neck, limbs, waist and abdomen, etc. And Chinese medicine believes that while traditional exercises exercise the body, they also enable the five internal organs to better promote yang energy.

3. Disease prevention and treatment: Ba Duan Jin, like other aerobic exercises, not only has a good effect on the body's cardiopulmonary function, but also can enhance the body's ability to resist disease, truly achieving the role of disease prevention and treatment. "

As soon as they finished speaking, the four of them continued to do it again.

"Why are you so anxious? There is another plan!"

Jiang Ming actually felt much more comfortable after finishing it, and all his fatigue was gone.

Now is the real trick of my "mentor".

"Come on, Five Animal Play!"

"Play? A Broadway play?" Roy looked confused.

"What are you thinking about? This is a more advanced warm-up and relaxation method than Ba ​​Duan Jin. It is considered the most traditional fitness method in China. It is said that practicing it once a day can make you live a hundred years longer."

Jiang Ming knows how to make big promises.

Roy's eyes lit up immediately:

"Learn! You must learn!"

"Wow, Director, you have learned so many traditional health-preserving methods at such a young age?"

Robert couldn't believe it. Did Jiang Ming have unlimited energy? He had learned so many things at such a young age?
"Don't worry, no one learns more authentically than me."

The Five Animal Exercises is an important traditional Chinese health-preserving exercise. Hua Tuo, the creator of the exercise, created it based on the Two Animal Exercises (Bear Exercises and Bird Exercises) in Zhuangzi.

And who is Hua Tuo?
Jiang Ming practiced the Five Animal Exercises with Hua Tuo when he was dreaming in Sanqing Mountain. May I ask, is there anyone in the world whose movements are more authentic than his?
There is no difference between learning from him and having Hua Tuo teach you in person.

This is how Hua Tuo introduced it to Jiang Ming at that time. Jiang Ming still remembers it clearly:
"I have a trick called the Five Animals Game: one is the tiger, two is the deer, three is the bear, four is the ape, and five is the bird.

It is also used to eliminate diseases, and to sharpen the hooves and feet as a guide.

When the body is unhappy, it plays like a bird's play, sweating because of the powder, and wanting to eat because of the lightness of the body.

He practiced it widely, and when he was over ninety years old, his ears and eyes became sharp, and his teeth were strong and healthy.

"The tiger performer has his limbs raised from the ground, throws three times in front, and throws twice. He stretches his waist, raises his feet to the sky, and walks back to the distance. He passes seven times in front and back.

The deer playing, with all four limbs off the ground, stretching its neck and looking back, doing three moves to the left and two moves to the right, stretching its legs left and right, also doing three and two moves to stretch and retract.

The bear actor lies on his back with his hands around his knees, raises his head, hits the ground seven times with his left hand and seven times with his right hand, then squats on the ground and supports the ground with his hands.

The ape performer clings to an object to hang himself, stretches and contracts his body, up and down seven times, holds the object with his feet to hang himself, seven times to the left and right, holds his hands upright, and presses his head seven times each.

The bird performer stands with both hands, one foot raised, two arms stretched out, eyebrows raised, two seven points each. He sits and stretches his feet, holds his hands seven feet apart, and retracts and extends his arms seven points each.

The Five Animal Exercises require one to perform them with all one's strength and stop when one sweats. If one sweats, one can apply powder on the body to help digest food, increase energy and strength, and eliminate all diseases. Those who can practice them regularly will surely prolong their life."

Therefore, this action can be regarded as Hua Tuo's way of learning the essence of the five beasts to benefit mankind.

Jiang Ming first performed a tiger play move, which was immediately spotted by Oden:

“Isn’t this a tiger?”

"There are four more animals. Come and follow along."

但其实姜明今天就自己做了一遍后教了他们虎戏13式就没时间了，太多动作了，比起八段锦来说难了一倍，共54个动作（虎戏13式、鹿戏9式、熊戏9式、猿戏10式、鸟戏13式）。

"Okay, that's enough for today. I'm going to go to the hospital to see Blake. You guys are free to do whatever you want."

Although several "disciples" were enthusiastic, Jiang Ming did not have the time to work overtime to teach them all the Five Animal Play at once.

It was unrealistic and unnecessary, just like what Hua Tuo said to him in his mind at the time:

"Do it as hard as you can, and stop when you sweat."

He also told them this as the training principle of the Five Animal Exercises, who were eager to try and eat a big fat man in one bite, "Why are you in such a hurry? Don't disturb my date with Jiang Muyan."

She said she was going to visit Blake, but in fact she just went to the hospital to peel an apple for him and asked him how he was recovering. Then she made an appointment with Jiang Muyan to meet at the mall for dinner, a movie, and then go home.
It's true that Chinese films are pretty good nowadays. In Jiang Ming's opinion, "The Forbidden Kingdom", the first film to be released overseas and available for viewing in U.S. theaters this year, is very good.

This fight, this story, the Chinese people will always have a special feeling for the Monkey King:

"This is the superhero that has been engraved in our bones since childhood!"

Jiang Ming sighed that it would be even better if Chinese game manufacturers could make a 3A masterpiece about the mythical Monkey King in the future, and he would definitely pay for it! Isn't cultural output based on these? Liu Yifei in the movie is also really beautiful. He was so itchy that he stripped Jiang Muyan naked as soon as he got home.

The next day.

Jiang Ming, who had worked hard all night, came to work on time.

I saw Robert and Sean practicing Tiger Exercise 13 with Aldridge, Channing Frye and other players who arrived early.

The posture he practiced was like a dragon flying and a phoenix dancing, and he didn't look like a tiger at all.

Jiang Ming was so angry that his nose was crooked:

"Hey, hey, hey, you guys have only learned a few basics and you think you can be a teacher? Hurry and get down here~~"

"Director Jiang, you are right. You still have to teach us in person!"

"No, no, no, they just volunteered to do it because they thought it was fun."

Channing Frye continued to gesture: "It's getting more and more comfortable as I do this!"

Robert quickly pulled Jiang Ming to the front. Although he had memorized all the movements yesterday, the feeling when he actually did them was completely different from Jiang Ming's.

That is, when Jiang Ming did it, it was as if he was a martial arts master doing a warm-up display, but when they did it, they were very stiff.

The two new substitutes, Big White Bear and Blake, who are from the Development League, were extremely excited when they saw Jiang Ming coming. They were especially excited when they heard that the Eight Section Brocade and Five Animal Exercises were taught by Jiang Ming.

China bonus!!
Isn't this the country of martial arts? The same country as LI Xiaolong!

So the two big black men almost grabbed Jiang Ming's hand and begged him:
"JIANG, teach us martial arts!!! We want to learn the monkey moves you did yesterday! Can I learn the monkey first?"

"Yes, we watched "The Forbidden Kingdom" yesterday. The fighting moves of Cheng (Chenglong) and Li (Li Lianjie) were so cool! The monkey at the end was so strong too!"

These two players are like many American teenagers who are crazy about Kung Fu movies. They can't move their legs when they see Kung Fu.

"But this is not martial arts. If you want to learn martial arts, go to Wudang or Songshan."

"I don't have time for the moment, Director Jiang, please!"

"Okay, let's just do the Five Animals Exercises today. It's more like the martial arts you mentioned, and you all have to know it anyway."

Originally, Jiang Ming wanted to take it easy, teach Sean and Robert and then let them spread the knowledge, but now these players have heard about it and are waiting, so he has no choice but to teach them.

And now it seems that this can be regarded as cultural export. As long as everyone knows the Five Animals Exercises, maybe in the future, nightclub fights here will become Five Animals Exercises duels.
So he also "brainwashed" these new players who wanted to learn:
There are three common benefits of Wuqinxi to the body!
1. Enhance waist and abdominal strength

The Five Animal Exercises include movements to loosen the waist, straighten the waist, twist the waist, etc., which can promote blood circulation in the waist and abdomen, relax the waist muscles, enhance the strength of the waist and abdominal muscles, and improve low back pain, low back pain and other discomforts caused by lumbar muscle strain, lumbar disc herniation and other reasons.

2. Improve body balance
The bird exercises and monkey exercises in the Five Animal Exercises are mainly used to exercise the limbs, such as the shoulder blades, hand bones, calf bones, etc. They can improve the flexibility and stability of the limbs and play a role in improving the body's sense of balance.

3. Improve body metabolism

While exercising various parts of the body, Wuqinxi can improve blood circulation, promote the unobstructed meridians, etc. It also has a good effect on improving lung capacity and is beneficial to improving the body's metabolism.

"So as athletes, you should do Wu Qin Xi before and after every game, which has no harm and has no benefits. It is also very good to do it once in the morning like now."

This further strengthened their desire to learn the Five Animal Exercises. They did not slack off at all and learned everything from breathing to movements carefully.

And when it came to the monkey show, not only the players but also the staff couldn't help but dance and follow along. There was nothing they could do as the Kung Fu fever brought about by the recent release of "The Forbidden Kingdom" was too crazy.

In Jiang Ming's opinion, Americans seem to be more fanatical about kung fu than people like him.

Moreover, in their eyes, the status of actors is not that high. After the team training started, a caddy told Jiang Ming to pursue Liu Yifei, saying that good things should be kept in the family.

"It is rumored that this actress's lumbar vertebrae were broken while filming this movie, and she still has sequelae. Doctor Jiang, you happen to not have a girlfriend, and I think her looks are about the same as yours."

"Yes, yes, I looked up her information and she is a Chinese actress. Isn't this just right for our Doctor Jiang!"

"You guys are so bold, go pick up the ball."

The caddies were chatting seriously with Jiang Ming, and Jiang Ming replied with a smile.

You have to know that she is the dream lover of so many men in China. The title of Fairy Sister is not just for nothing.

When he returned to the medical department, he met Larry Miller in the corridor. President Larry greeted Jiang Ming in a good mood:
"I heard you were teaching the players Kung Fu?"

"Ahem, just a way to warm up."

"Oh, don't be so modest. Your Chinese fitness methods are Chinese Kung Fu to us. But how come you know so many things at such a young age? You can be both a doctor and a martial artist. You can even be a trainer in the future."

Jiang Ming quickly waved his hands. In China, he was most afraid of his boss saying that he could be competent for other jobs. That was usually a thankless task.
"We Chinese have a saying: If you recite poetry and books when you are young, you will be successful when you grow up. Maybe I learned more since I was in primary school. I may have been playing with Chinese medicine books since I was born."

What Jiang Ming said was true. When he was a child, he tore up many of his parents' treasured medical books.

“No wonder it’s so awesome.

By the way, there is something going on in your medical department recently. A hospital in China wants to apply for friendly exchanges with us. This has always been directly handled by the medical department. I asked them to contact your department directly. Is that okay?"

"what?"

Jiang Ming was stunned. Isn't this something that only administrative positions can do, such as reception and so on? If he were asked to do all these things, how would he have time to be the team doctor for the players?

In China, this kind of communication is just a formality during the day and a way to build relationships over drinks at night. He doesn't want to do such a thing himself.

However, one should think about what he should do when he is in a position to do something. Larry's answer was obviously not a question, but a request for him to do something.

That's easy. He can just hand it over to someone else. If others don't want to do it, he can just recruit someone who wants to do it. Anyway, the team medical team is still 15 people short of the full staff of 4.

Indeed, after seeing Jiang Ming's expression, Larry also said:
"If you don't understand something, you can ask Thomas Reese. He has been doing these things before. Just consult him."

"OK."

"Also, our management team sent you the players we recently selected this morning. The file includes their injury history and recent playing videos. You can refer to it and give us some suggestions. We really don't want any more injuries."

Jiang Ming is still positive about this matter:
"No problem, I'll do it right away."

"Scammers, all of them are scammers."

“How many NBA teams are honest?”

Ten minutes later, when Jiang Ming was frowning and watching video clips of players' games with Robert in front of the office computer, an international call from China was transferred to the medical department.

Jiang Muyan, who looked very good, answered the call and transferred it to Jiang Ming:
"A Chinese hospital wants to connect with our medical department for a project. You can speak Chinese, so come and join us."

Jiang Ming also winked at her, stood up and took the phone:
"Yeah, I know about it, let me do it."

"Hello? Hello, this is Pioneer Medical Department." Jiang Ming started speaking directly in Mandarin.

The other side was obviously stunned, paused for a while and changed to Mandarin:

"Hello, I am the administrator of Dongli Hospital. May I ask who you are?"

"I'm Jiang Ming. What's the matter? Can't my parents tell me directly?"
