Healing Doctor

Chapter 795 Conquering Everyone in Just One Minute

Everything that had happened recently at the Second Affiliated Hospital was replaying in Dr. Meltz's mind, from the surgery to several diagnoses, and then to his own illness.

The young demon king's performance was as consistent as ever, consistently crushing him.

For Dr. Meltz, it was all a complicated story.

"Let's focus on getting better first," Dr. Meltz said, terrified by the bouts of angina he had been experiencing. Although it wasn't necessarily a heart attack, what if it was?

After an unknown amount of time, Dr. Meltz had a dream, and when he woke up, it was already dawn.

Focusing on recuperation and no longer concerned about anything else, Dr. Melz dared not think about it anymore, fearing that his condition would worsen and that he would suffer a stroke after the retinal infarction.

He recovered quickly, but Dr. Melz noticed that Victor Wimbanama was recovering even faster than him.

Sixteen days after the surgery, the cast was removed from the patient's body.

All examinations, including the MRI, indicated that Viktor Wimbanyama's surgery was extremely successful and his recovery was going smoothly. Dr. Melz even had a hunch that Wimbanyama could fully recover to his pre-injury condition.

It's incredible, but it's true.

Under Ji Xiang's guidance, Wenban Yama did the initial recovery training, and at this time the news of the deal came.

The Lakers paid a heavy price, including draft picks for the next few years and half of their starting roster, to acquire Wimbledon.

As expected, he went to the Lakers!

Dr. Meltz couldn't help but grumble a bit whenever he thought about how Dr. Ji Xiang called Jenny Bass "old auntie".

But now he dares not provoke that young demon king again.

Having been thoroughly humiliated and beaten to a pulp, isn't that enough for him? The Great Demon King's background and strength are unfathomable; it's best not to provoke him, or you'll be courting death.

Three days later, Dr. Melz and Wenban Yama returned home together.

He didn't go straight back to Massachusetts General Hospital, but stayed behind.

He wanted to witness Victor Wenbanyama's miraculous recovery firsthand.

As a sports medicine expert, Dr. Meltz has witnessed the postoperative rehabilitation process of at least one hundred professional athletes.

But no one has recovered as quickly as Wenbanyama.

Rather than believing it was post-operative recovery, Dr. Meltz preferred to believe that Wimbanyama had never been injured and that the cast on his foot was just an April Fool's joke.

Working with the Lakers' medical team, Dr. Meltz heard nothing but surprise, bewilderment, and inquiries from people who had operated on Wimbledon.

Dr. Meltz generally declined to comment on this.

Even if he wanted to answer, there was nothing to say. Dr. Meltz had watched the entire surgery, but he didn't understand it at all.

There's nothing to say if you don't understand it. Saying too much is embarrassing, especially when experts ask about the details. The more you say, the more embarrassing it is.

As a sports medicine expert, Dr. Meltz was too embarrassed to admit that he didn't understand surgery.

He once thought the speed of recovery was just a matter of luck, but now it has come to pass right before his eyes.

Viktor Wenbanyama quickly immersed himself in rehabilitation training, gradually increasing the amount of exercise and undergoing frequent examinations.

Even with the most critical eye, Dr. Meltz couldn't find a single flaw in Wenbanyama's recovery.

Meanwhile, Zhao Dali's transfer to Manchester City caused a huge sensation in the football world.

Soccer isn't popular in the United States, but Dr. Meltz knew that Wimbledon would create a bigger sensation there.

The world is about to change.

A month after returning home, under the coaching staff's cautious approach, Wenban Yama, despite being deemed fit to play, has yet to participate in any matches.

Jeanie Buss didn't want the team's cornerstone, which she had invested heavily in, to be ruined by just one or two regular season games.

They all preferred to play it safe, even if they failed in the regular season this year and couldn't even make it to the playoffs.

Because of too many player changes, with their biggest star, Wenbanyama, still unable to play, the team's performance has helplessly plummeted into the lottery zone.

After a while, at Viktor Wimbanyama's strong request and due to the need for good results, the uniform and medical teams, after consultation, prepared to let Wimbanyama play.

This is a home game, and the opponent is not strong; they were carefully selected.

In fact, everyone, including Jeanie Buss, gave up on the season, except for Victor Wimbanyama.

Match day.

Dr. Meltz sat in the arena, surrounded by the Lakers' doctors, all watching Vince Yama warm up with bated breath.

Everyone knows the actual situation of Wenban Yama, but every time they see him accelerate and sprint, or raise his hand to dunk, the doctors present will be on tenterhooks.

"Mertz, why aren't you back in Boston?" the Wimbledon team doctor asked. "Did the Celtics' front office send you to monitor Victor's condition? It's completely unnecessary. We've already traded him, for better or worse."

"How could that be! I'm not one of their team doctors," Dr. Meltz said.

"How do you think Viktor's recovery is going?"

Similar questions are asked every day, and the answer is certain, but without practical testing, no one believes that incredible result.

Dr. Meltz remained silent on the matter.

When the players entered the field and Victor Wenbanyama's name was called out over the loudspeaker, the entire stadium erupted in cheers.

The deafening shouts momentarily stunned Dr. Merz.

He was genuinely worried that the fans would kill the team doctor when Wenbanyama collapsed, clutching his leg.

jump ball.

Wenban Yama was clearly very interested in wearing the yellow jersey for the first time. He jumped high and accurately deflected the basketball.

In that instant, Dr. Meltz even vaguely saw Wimbanyama catch the basketball, pause in mid-air, turn his head to find the fastest teammate, and pass the ball to him steadily.

Dr. Merz felt that if he weren't worried about the jump ball violation, he could have easily gotten the ball himself.

"Mertz, why does it feel like Viktor is jumping higher than before? And his hang time has also changed," the team doctor murmured.

Dr. Meltz stared blankly at Vimbanyama's legs.

The two surgeries that followed did not cause the muscles in Wenbanyama's legs to atrophy, though they remained uneven in thickness. The team doctor's hunch was correct; just now, after leaping high, Wenbanyama's standing jump height had reached his peak.

In fact, Wenbanyama has surpassed his previous peak.

Before Dr. Merz could answer, the first attack of the game began.

After several passes, the shooting guard in position 2 took a three-pointer, but the ball bounced off the rim.

The cheers from the fans turned into sighs.

The basketball hurtled towards the outside. Dr. Merz watched quietly. The opponent was about to launch a fast break, and Victor's speed probably wouldn't be enough to keep up.

But just as this thought crossed my mind, a yellow figure appeared next to the basketball.

With a wingspan of 2.44 meters, lightning speed, and an astonishing jumping ability, the basketball was caught in Wenbanyama's hands.

He turned around, used a Euro step to shake off the defender, and slammed the ball in.

Wenban Yama channeled all his pent-up anger, fear, and anticipation into dunks, unleashing them on the court.

2 points earned.

Despite being the home team, Los Angeles fans did not immediately cheer and celebrate.

Everyone was amazed by Wenban Yama's incredible athleticism, including even the team doctors who had spent the most time with him recently.

Wenban Yama has fully recovered?!

Do not!

A thought suddenly occurred to Dr. Meltz: not only had he fully recovered, but Wenban Yama's athletic ability had also made significant progress.

On the field, Wenbanyama called for his teammates, who were standing there in a daze, to get back on defense.

His teammates were also stunned by this scene.

The NBA is full of incredibly talented monsters, but no one is more like a monster than Vincent Yama.

Even though they had been rivals with Wenban Yama before, and even though they had been training with Wenban Yama for the past few days, no one knew that this young man could reach such a level.

After a few seconds of silence, the atmosphere at the home arena was ignited as the Lakers players returned to defense.

The rebound and the subsequent Euro-step dunk were replayed on the big screen, and the atmosphere in the arena erupted like a heatwave.

"My God! Viktor used all his strength! Isn't he afraid of getting injured again?" the team doctor whispered.

Dr. Meltz stared at the big screen, a strange thought running through his mind—Vimbanama's incredible rebound just now was not his limit at all!

As Dr. Meltz watched the replay on the big screen closely, he suddenly seemed to catch a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye.

He stared intently at the field.

The opponent drives to the basket, and he makes a high lob.

After several tactical runs by the opponent, Wenban Yama had already switched to defend near the three-point line, making it impossible for him to reach the three-pointer.

But the yellow lightning bolt appeared again.

The basketball was firmly pinned to the backboard!

Wenbanyama didn't rush out; he pinned the basketball to the backboard and then caught it, throwing it out with the force typical of a quarterback.

A teammate on a fast break received the ball and unleashed a powerful dunk that ignited the entire arena.

Although the slam dunk was exciting, Dr. Meltz knew very well who the thunderous cheers were for.

In this round and a half, Wenbanyama dominated both offense and defense.

Two rebounds in the frontcourt and backcourt, a block, an assist, and a dunk.

Right from the start, Wenban Yama almost filled the data column.

Such god-like performances are rare, especially considering that Viktor Amar'e had just returned from injury and joined the Lakers from their arch-rivals, the Celtics. To deliver such an energetic performance in less than 30 seconds on the court was astonishing.

Lakers fans went almost crazy.

Even those who used to insult Jeanie Buss by calling her a "trash" in exchange for a trade were won over within a minute of the game starting.

Let alone half a team, even if we had to give up all the key players, it would be worth it to get Wenbanyama in return.

The MVP chants, like a tsunami, echoed throughout every corner of the stadium.

Dr. Meltz stared blankly as Wimbledon set a screen, received the ball, and jumped lightly. His opponent, the power forward, couldn't reach the ball at all, and the three-pointer went into the basket with almost no interference, as if it were a practice shot.

Damn it!

Dr. Meltz looked somewhat bewildered.

He knew about Wenban Yama's injury from beginning to end, but who could have guessed that he would recover to his current state?

The Celtics' management and owners are probably starting to regret it.

The Wenban Yama in front of me wasn't in Musou mode, but it was just as powerful as if it were.

However, this was only the beginning.

If Vanbanyama dominated both offense and defense in the first round, then the rest of the match was more like an exhibition.

Standing at 2.26 meters tall with a 2.44-meter wingspan, Vinbanjama is like Spider-Man, capable of flying and leaping through the air, seemingly omnipotent.

The opponent's shots were difficult to get over Wenbanyama's defense, so they could only blindly try long-range shots beyond the three-point line.

In just 10 minutes of the first quarter, Wambanoram scored 18 points, grabbed 6 rebounds, blocked 4 shots, and made 1 steal, dominating the game.

Amid cheers of "MVP" from the fans, Wenbanyama returned to the sidelines to rest.

He never played again.

It wasn't that his body wasn't suited to the intense competition of the NBA, but rather that Wimbledon and Yamaba finished a 48-minute game in just 10 minutes.

Dr. Meltz had anticipated that Wenban Yama would become very strong and return to his original level, but he never expected that Wenban Yama would undergo surgery and become like a cyborg, with his abilities greatly enhanced!

This is simply a myth!

This is impossible!

At this moment, the large screen above was continuously replaying Wenban Yama's various brilliant performances over the past 10 minutes.

He dominated both offense and defense.

He is omnipotent.

He is everywhere.

Judging solely from his performance, no one, including Dr. Meltz, would have guessed that this young man had just suffered a career-ending injury a few months prior.

With Wenbanyama going off for a rest, the score became very close.

But the opponent was already stunned by the previous defeat of Wenban Yama. Although he was not on the field, his eyes kept involuntarily glancing at the big man sitting on the bench.

With their opponents making repeated mistakes, the Lakers pulled away again.

But that doesn't matter anymore. With his dominant performance, Wenban Yama told everyone—that man is back!

Moreover, he became so strong that Dr. Meltz had a strange thought in his mind that Wenbanama could not be defeated at all.

This is very strange; Wenban Yama's performance shattered Dr. Meltz's years of clinical experience, turning it into dust.

A serious injury,

Two surgeries,

Three months of rest and recuperation.

Even the usually shrewd Celtics management has lost faith in Wimbledon and replaced this cornerstone of the team.

In just one minute, Wimbledon showed the world just how big a mistake the Celtics' management had made. He finished his first regular season game with the Lakers in 10 minutes.

Even after the game ended, the excited Los Angeles fans lingered at Staples Center, reluctant to leave.

The MVP buzz continues, even though Wenban Yama has left.

His dominant performance in those 10 minutes gave all the fans hope.

Dr. Meltz glanced at the not-full Staples Center and thought to himself that the next game should be packed.

Even the league's dismal viewership ratings will improve as a result.

The league's viewership plummeted due to issues related to betting and Curry's aging.

But the emergence of Wenban Yama was like a shot in the arm, giving everyone hope.

No! Dr. Meltz dismissed his thoughts and began to blame himself.

Just how strong is that young demon king?!

If only this were an illusion, if none of it existed, if it were all just a dream.

The young Demon King simply cannot allow Wenbanyama to fully recover!

As he was thinking, Dr. Meltz felt a faint pain in his abdomen.

!!!

He froze, speechless with despair.

Can't I even think about it?

F***!!

Why does my stomach start to hurt after I mutter a few words about that big devil in my mind?

Dr. Meltz felt he was cursed.

Damn it! Why did this happen?!

Dr. Merz's mind was filled with the image of Vanderbilt Yamaz being omnipresent on the pitch.

Running around like this right after recovering, and even pushing your potential to its limits, who else but you will get hurt if not you!

"In the next game... no, in the next three games... within ten games, as the opponent double-teams and engages in physical contact, Wenban Yama will definitely get injured again," Dr. Mertz predicted.

Seeing the Staples Center fans lingering and excitedly waiting to leave, Dr. Merz knew very well that if Wemban Yama could maintain this level of performance, the consequences would be dire.

Surgeries on top athletes are the most profitable, bar none.

If this situation continues, not to mention top athletes, even average athletes will fly to that young "demon king" for surgery.

Even if it means queuing!

It will definitely create a monopoly on the sports medicine treatment market, and at that time, my surgical volume will probably plummet.

Thinking of this, Dr. Meltz became extremely depressed, his eyes were a little red, and he eagerly hoped that Wenban Yama would be injured.

Zhao Dali has signed with Manchester City and gone to the Blue Moon. He will most likely become the largest and most prominent crater on the Blue Moon roster.

Meanwhile, Wenban Yama was in surprisingly good form.

Thinking about Wimbanyama's dominance on both ends of the court, Dr. Meltz felt a lump in his throat and almost cried.

Isn't this exactly the treatment effect I've been dreaming of!

Unfortunately, he didn't perform the surgery himself.

Wenban Yama's recovery after her surgery was not satisfactory.

With his mind in turmoil, Dr. Meltz left Staples Center and returned to his residence.

That night, he was once again unable to stop his insomnia.

Dr. Meltz even had a hazy dream about Wimbledon winning the championship.

This is terrifying! Which top athlete would want to have surgery with me in the future?!

All the hard work of a lifetime has suddenly vanished. What a damned devil!

In the days that followed, Dr. Meltz seemed to be possessed, following the Lakers around everywhere.

Dr. Merz was present at every game; he was even more enthusiastic than the most loyal fans.

In the second game, Wanbanyama once again delivered dominant performances—playing 22 minutes and scoring 32 points, grabbing 18 rebounds, and blocking 4 shots.

In the third game, Wenbanyama played 27 minutes, scoring 38 points, grabbing 20 rebounds, and blocking 6 shots.

fourth……

fifth……

In the tenth game, Wenbanyama played 32 minutes, scoring 52 points, 21 rebounds, 12 assists, and an astonishing 11 blocks.

An unconventional four-pair formation!

His performance was like that of a god descending to earth.

When Wambanovan Yama played for the Celtics, he performed exceptionally well, but his performance was only at the superstar level.

After undergoing two surgeries, Wimbledon Yamaba displayed superstar-level performances, and in just ten games, he has become the face of the league's future.

Dr. Meltz was on the verge of tears.

He doesn't understand the game, but he can understand what's hidden behind the phenomenal performance of Wenbanyama during intense physical battles.

Dr. Meltz even suspected that the young demon king had not only performed surgery on Wimbanyama, but had turned him into a cyborg.

Damn!

Meanwhile, Zhao Dali and Neymar also performed exceptionally well.

They may seem unconnected, but that's just how fans perceive them. Dr. Merz, however, knows that there's a figure behind each athlete, connecting them with a thread.

Although it was only ten games, it was a dazzling ten-game winning streak, and Wimbledon recorded two quadruple-doubles and led the Lakers into the play-in zone.

Dr. Meltz cannot stay with the Lakers like a team doctor, nor can he remain in Los Angeles.

When he returned to Boston, distraught, and went to Massachusetts General Hospital, he could only continue to observe Wenban Yama's performance through live game broadcasts.

Although it hadn't been long, Dr. Meltz found that the effects were already real.

There are still athletes who contact themselves, call for advice, or come to Massachusetts for injury treatment, but very few are top-level athletes.

He knew very well that those people were also observing Wenbanyama, Zhao Dali, and Neymar.

They convinced other injured athletes time and time again with their performance.

This can't go on any longer. Dr. Meltz knew very well that once Wimbledon... even without winning the championship, as long as he led the depleted Lakers into the playoffs, his share in the field of sports medicine would be swallowed up by that big devil.

however.

Wenban Yama was unaware of Dr. Meltz's emotional fluctuations, and even if he had, he would never have changed his mind because of a doctor's opinion.

In the following games, Wimbledon continued to lead the Lakers on a winning streak.

Undefeated.

Some have even remarked that with only 22 games left after the All-Star break, the Lakers, led by a depleted roster under the leadership of Wahlgren and Yamada, might have made history by breaking their own record of 33 consecutive regular-season wins.

Finally, at the end of March, Dr. Meltz watched as Wimbledon led the Lakers into the play-in tournament.

It has nothing to do with Wimbledon; it's just that the Lakers tanked before he came in order to get the number one draft pick.

One player changed a team, and one player changed Dr. Merz's future.

Dr. Merz did not watch the play-off game.

He was well aware of Wenban Yama's current strength and knew that if a team could stop Wenban Yama, it wouldn't be because he lacked ability or his athleticism had declined after surgery.

The Lakers had been tanking, and apart from Wimbledon and Yama, they were almost all undrafted players.

They've already succeeded in bringing undrafted players this far.

Dr. Meltz almost gave up the struggle.

Whenever he recalled his days at the Second Affiliated Hospital, the figure of that hateful demon king gradually became heavy, like a mountain.

"Mertz! Did you watch today's game?!"

An expert in sports medicine called out to Dr. Meltz.

"I haven't seen it, I'm not interested."

"Wenbanyama was tripped and seriously injured!"

"!!!"
