NBA: The best team doctor in history

Chapter 63: Sticking Out Your Tongue

The atmosphere within the Trail Blazers has been quite delicate recently.

The medical team and management have a visible rift
Jiang Ming made it clear that he had the CEO's support behind him, and no one dared to say anything to his face.

In addition, Oden, who is now under Jiang Ming's charge, has not played again, and no one knows what his current physical condition is, but this kid has made the athletes of other teams very happy.

Although they were all his countrymen and it was normal for him to treat them, seeing how well they played, Jiang Ming would use the Trail Blazers' field to treat the "outsiders" from time to time. The Bucks' team doctors also spoke highly of Jiang Ming on various social platforms.

The fact that he had no problem with medication was leaked by the Bucks medical team.
If this continues, the Trail Blazers' own team medical team and staff will inevitably feel resentful.

Even now, there are still many staff members who have opinions about him and think that Jiang Ming is a swindler. What's the point of him mysteriously "smoking" Oden in the separate medical room every day?

Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian did nothing, but Jiang Ming was able to treat them well through remote guidance.

What does it mean?
It seems that this new minister is either a fraudster or has a grudge against the Torn City and is deliberately here to mess with the Pioneers.

My mind is not on the Trail Blazers at all!

So much so that one employee wrote an anonymous letter to CEO Larry Miller using a famous Chinese saying:

"He is in Cao's camp but his heart is with Han, and he is still thinking about Team Rocket!"

This made Larry Miller laugh and cry. Anyone who participated in Oden's consultation would never think that Jiang Ming was still thinking about the Rockets. At that time, he was almost scolded to death by the chief assistant Maffei on the spot!
If Jiang Ming still thinks about the Rockets even in this situation, it can only be said that he is very flexible.

But Jiang Ming soon solved the problem himself.

Jiang Ming's Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine became different after Jiang Ming started receiving express deliveries.

First, there was Oden's arch pad, which is arguably the most high-tech gadget used by Jiang Ming's department so far. It used a Jensen machine, which Robert scanned personally and was customized exactly according to Oden's foot shape. When Oden tried it out in the gym, it attracted a lot of onlookers.

With this small arch pad placed under his right foot, no matter whether Oden walks normally, jumps with all his strength, or deliberately steps hard, his right leg and left leg will eventually become the same length.

In other words, with this arch pad, Oden's legs will be as balanced as a normal person when he plays in the game, which will also make Oden more confident during the game.

Not to mention during competitions, you will feel more confident the moment you put it on.

Finally, he no longer has to frequently replace ordinary height-increasing insoles that lack support. Oden has been wearing them when he works out.

However, he still followed Jiang Ming's doctor's advice. Although wearing it on his right foot became more and more comfortable, he usually wore it on his left foot to stimulate the growth of the bones in his right foot. That is to say, Oden's right leg is usually 4CM shorter than his left leg.

Only when exercising would Oden quickly switch to his right foot and exercise with a normal balanced body posture, so as to get familiar with the feeling of exercising in a normal balanced posture.

It took Oden half a day to get used to the arch support. After he found no problem, Jiang Ming reported to his superiors that Oden could play in the home game against the Spurs the next day.

try it!
The Trail Blazers' top management agreed immediately. They were originally worried about what to do with the inside line when playing against the defending champion Spurs. Now that Oden is back, Duncan will not have such an easy time.

Jiang Ming reminded head coach McMillan in the chat group to limit Oden's playing time to 30 minutes. If Oden said he had discomfort in the sole of his foot, he would not be able to play.

Although the arch pad is a high-tech product tested and produced by high-precision instruments, Jiang Ming has studied its shape and knows that plantar fasciitis will definitely occur if it is used too frequently.

So it's a question of trade-offs. Compared with knee and ankle wear and tear, plantar fasciitis is naturally a minor problem and can be cured by rest.

In order to completely recover from the long-term wear and tear of his legs and knees, Jiang Ming can only say that he should try to avoid problems with Oden's plantar fascia. Although this disease can be cured by rest, it is very troublesome for NBA players. Once this problem occurs, they must rest and cannot play a single game with the injury.

The announcement that Oden could play naturally boosted the excitement among the Trail Blazers. If he could come back to play against the championship team Spurs, then surely he could play against other weak teams as well?
The express delivery that Jiang Ming received after the arch pad was his own international express delivery. Most of them were purchased by his younger classmates at Tong Ren Tang Pharmacy in the capital and then sent to him.

These are Chinese herbal medicines that are not available in pharmacies here or are of poor quality.

For example, saffron, snow lotus, and authentic cordyceps.

He ordered this on his first day at work, so it arrived quickly, but the quantity was relatively small because the big boss Paul didn't give him the 100 million bonus at that time.

But later, Jiang Ming placed another large order after receiving the bonus, so most of the medicinal materials this time were used by him to "become human beings".

He, Jiang Muyan and Sean are not deaf. They have been working for more than a week and have heard some rumors about their department from the Trail Blazers staff. It would be a lie to say that they don't care.

Jiang Ming is not a doctor with the same personality as Cripple House. Chinese people value harmony. Isn't it good for everyone to live in harmony? Jiang Ming likes a working environment where everyone is united.

So after lunch they started their "inspection" with a large bag of Chinese herbs.

The team's cleaning lady kept holding her belly with a painful expression on her face. Jiang Ming found out after a little questioning that she had dysmenorrhea, and quickly took out a box of angelica and gave it to her.

"I'll drink it every time I get my period. When it's as severe as today, I'll chew it and spit it out when it's tasteless."

"Okay! Thank you, doctor."

The cleaning lady held her stomach as she took the box of something that looked like tree bark and quickly took out a piece to start chewing.

Jiang Muyan was watching in amazement from behind. When Jiang Ming went to give the cleaning man some mint leaves and a potion made of puffed seaweed to cool him down, he quickly asked the cleaning lady how she felt.
"It doesn't seem to hurt as much anymore!" The cleaning lady looked at the box of ordinary-looking bark-like substance in her hand in amazement. The effect was faster than taking medicine!
Wow!
Jiang Muyan touched her belly. To be honest, her period was about to come, and she often felt terrible pain every time it came. She was also accompanied by depression and palpitations, so she really wanted a box of this medicine to delay her upcoming dysmenorrhea.

After all, she knew better than Bao Jie how strong Jiang Ming's medical skills were!
This thing is definitely better than the effect felt by the cleaner.

But when she really got in front of Jiang Ming, she hesitated and couldn't speak.

After all, this was the medicine Jiang Ming prepared for the patient, and they were about the same age. She felt more and more embarrassed to talk about things related to this in front of the man she cared about.

But
She really wants to try it.

So she could only hint at it:
"What's the name of the medicine you gave to the cleaning lady just now? Why haven't I seen it before?"

Jiang Ming stood up and looked at Jiang Muyan's face, then leaned closer to take a closer look at her forehead, which was a little tight and a little dark.

This almost guessed why she suddenly asked this question.

So he leaned close to her ear and said, "You don't need this, I'll give you a better one."

"How do you know?"

"Sticking out tongue."
