NBA: The best team doctor in history

Chapter 65: Fence-sitting fans, the world of winning fans

"What's wrong with that? When you first entered the league, you were a second-round pick and almost couldn't play in the NBA. You have to trust the process!"

Jiang Ming couldn't help but complain when he was making saffron chicken soup for Jiang Muyan in the evening.

"The fans' reaction was also very bad. Oden might as well not play."

"They are so hard to please. They are the ones who want Oden to be there, and they are also the ones who don't want Oden to be there."

"Yes, many fans said that if Oden didn't play and the Blazers played with 1 big and 4 small players, they might win!"

"Everyone knows how to make a hindsight comment. Don't think too much. The chicken soup is almost ready. Get your chopsticks ready."

"Well then!"

Jiang Muyan was on her period, so she sat there with her right hand on her temple, a little weak, watching Jiang Ming cooking and complaining at the same time, her eyes never leaving him.

Men who can cook are the most handsome. It’s a pity that her period came today, otherwise it would be a good opportunity for everyone to relieve stress together.

You know, after Oden's comeback and performance tonight, the pressure on the team doctors has become greater and greater, and they are all holding a grudge.

Jiang Muyan felt angry for Jiang Ming. He had already done his best. She was angry just thinking about it and wanted to help Jiang Ming. Of course, she didn't want to use her fingers anymore.
Facing such a charming boss every day, Jiang Muyan is now experiencing a period of strong physical and spiritual desires, so how can she resist?

Then hug and kiss for a while?
Although the three of them rented on the same floor, this was his first time coming to her room!

But then Sean's knock on the door successfully broke Jiang Muyan's Korean drama fantasy:

"Hey, I bought all the vegetables!"

Jiang Muyan shook her head and went to open the door, wondering what was wrong with her recently. After having a relaxed working environment, her girlish heart was overflowing. She wanted to fall in love, right?

Sean bought tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and other things from the supermarket and sent them over. Jiang Ming felt that it was not easy for him to cook a dish, so he would definitely invite everyone to eat together, which could be considered a small dinner.

It’s just that Jiang Muyan said at the beginning that she would cook in her apartment, so Jiang Ming came directly and asked Sean to send it here.

When he was cooking chicken soup at the end, he quickly made a few of his signature dishes:
Scrambled eggs with tomatoes, smashed cucumber with peppers, and stir-fried shredded potatoes.

"I'll treat you to Chinese food."

After the dishes were served, Jiang Muyan no longer thought about anything related to men and women. She was instantly attracted by the aroma of the dishes.

She has eaten a lot of Chinese food. There are a lot of Chinese restaurants in Seoul, but the one in front of her is the most authentic.

Xiao En didn't even know how to use chopsticks, so he just picked up a cucumber with a fork and started eating. The sour and spicy taste made him feel so good. When he wanted to drink some chicken soup, Jiang Ming stopped him:

"Sean, this is not for you to drink. You eat the chicken and the soup is for Muyan."

"Oh, is this saffron?" Sean also noticed that there were several red threads in the soup.

"That's right, it nourishes Yin but not Yang, Muyan, you try it."

Jiang Ming, who didn't even know what it tasted like, served a bowl to Jiang Muyan. Jiang Muyan thanked him and quickly drank it.

The warm taste and the sweetness of saffron
Jiang Muyan's eyes became clear. She originally thought that it would be bitter like the Chinese medicine boiled by Jiang Ming. She was prepared for it to taste bad but she would try her best to eat it.

The result was unexpected. I thought so.

And the dishes next to it are even more delicious!

The shredded potatoes had a refreshing taste, the scrambled eggs with tomatoes went really well with rice, and finally a bite of the spicy cucumber. Jiang Muyan couldn't help but shake her head and sigh:

“This is the best meal I’ve had since I came to the United States!”

Jiang Ming also nodded:
"Me too. I'm really tired of eating steak. But you should eat less cucumbers. Spicy food is not suitable for menstruation."

Sean added another bowl of rice and shouted, "Then I'll eat it! This is the best food I've ever had in my life! Chinese food is so delicious!"

Jiang Ming laughed and scolded:
"You've even learned to praise people. I'll take you back to China for team building during the off-season. We'll have delicious food and fun."

"How rude!"

"The minister is generous!"

"I love the Minister!"

"Okay, okay, you have to work hard to get a big cake, okay?"

"Good job, Chef!"

"You ta meow!"

Early the next morning, Jiang Ming was called to the office by management.

It's not to criticize him or anything, but to ask him to discuss the issue of Oden's playing time next.

Of course they also knew the fans' reactions last night, which were completely different from when they scored 15+15 before. Most fans were actually still happy to win.

When Oden's playing was just a side effect, not many people supported him to play, and the No. 1 pick obviously did not develop any personal fans.

It's not right to play, and it's not right not to play, so Larry Miller, McEwen and other senior executives directly called Jensen and Jiang Ming to discuss whether to let Oden recover completely before playing or continue to play one game at a time?
Larry Miller:

"We discussed internally last night that Joel Pulzybila is playing better than Oden at this stage. The coaching staff also said that every time Oden returns temporarily, it will disrupt the rotation to a certain extent, because he will definitely start, but he does not have as good chemistry with Joel Pulzybila as the starting lineup."

Yan Sen pointed at Jiang Ming, indicating that this was your responsibility and you should talk about it, he didn't care about it.

Jiang Ming simply said:
"Then I definitely support him to fully recover before playing. It's not because the fans want to see more of Oden that I let him play to adapt to the intensity of the game. This kind of normal training can also replace it, and it can also reduce the risk of injury.

It would be best to wait until the wear and tear and the length of his legs are completely healed before playing. Oden can then express himself freely without any burden, and fans don't have to guess which game Oden will play in. He can play in every game."

Chris McGowan:
"So you mean he's completely on hiatus?"

"right!"

Jiang Ming's affirmative tone made Yan Sen sneer. He is still young. What will the fans think if he takes a break from the next game?
Making fun of them?
I finally had a game, but the cool-down period is one month?

Or is this an attempt to blame Oden's poor performance on injuries?
In Jensen's opinion, it would be better to take a break after playing two more games.

Yesterday we played against the Spurs, who are not a team on the same level as the current Trail Blazers. To be honest, it was expected that Oden would not perform well. Could you still expect him to beat Duncan right after his comeback?

When playing against the Hornets and Pacers later, the pressure will be much less. As long as Oden delivers a passing performance in one game, he can rest and recover from his injury with peace of mind.

Anyway, these fans are all fence-sitters who only care about winning. Everything will be fine if they win and then have a rest.

Jiang Ming directly overturned his previous words, which was equivalent to blocking his own way.

In this case, Oden must fully recover.

The rule of playing one game and resting one game has been broken, and then everyone can rest. There is no reason for Oden to be in trouble, right?
Originally, because of these booing fans, Jiang Ming's department could have a reason to say that Oden's occasional appearances affected his recovery speed, and could have delayed it by the one month he boasted at the time.

Now there is no excuse for borrowing.

Yan Sen sat silently by the side, watching Jiang Ming fall into the pit.

Sure enough, Larry Miller looked directly into Jiang Ming's eyes and said:
"If I continue to rest, how many days will it take to fully recover?"
