NBA: The best team doctor in history
Chapter 268: Kobe announced his comeback himself, it’s none of my business
Chapter 268: Kobe announced his comeback himself, it’s none of my business
One hundred million US dollars for a five-year labor contract!!!
This is more than Jiang Ming’s one-time investment in 3D printing medical applications!
To be honest, even a man like Sean who is usually not interested in money twitched his eyebrows.
I’ve never seen such a large number.
Because Jiang Ming’s team doctor income is not that high, and it’s 100 million!
Sean always felt that Jiang Ming was an idol and deserved such a high salary.
And if I could get so much salary all at once, it would seem even more unrealistic.
However, even if the director of San Jose Bonaventure Hospital called him personally, even if San Jose Bonaventure Hospital sent someone to deliver the contract benefits to Sean and his parents, it would be useless.
Especially when it was given to his family, they rejected it outright, much faster than Sean himself.
The reason is simple.
What’s the use of giving Sean so much money?
Sean is a smart man who has gotten rid of vulgar tastes. It is impossible for him to give the money directly to his family because he always believes that money should be earned through one’s own efforts.
That’s why he always wears the same set of clothes. He wears a white coat if he can, and has no sense of style.
There is no such thing as a place for you to enjoy yourself.
Normally this guy doesn’t go to the club, and his greatest entertainment is when the Trail Blazers or the clinic invite him to team building.
Of course, the main reason must be because of his mental illness. What if he really becomes rich or if relatives or friends really ask him for money and he does something crazy and extreme?
Sean is living such a good life under Jiang Ming’s care now, his parents are so happy.
A doctor who has trouble connecting with regular people finds a sense of home at Tomorrow Clinic.
It was Tomorrow Clinic that gave him the best home, so unless it’s a 10 billion contract?
Otherwise, the family really doesn’t want Sean to leave Jiang Ming.
The main thing is that his family members don’t have to worry about money anymore. They had collected enough money for medical treatment by relying on Sean’s consultations in Los Angeles, not to mention the autographed photos of basketball stars or the Trail Blazers bracelets and protective gear that they usually get, which can also be resold to make a good income.
Of course, after hesitating for a moment, Sean calmly returned the contract to his old club.
Even if his old employer said that he could get the same treatment as Dr. House of Princeton University Hospital.
In other words, except for the dean, no one else can manage you. You can do any scientific research you want, and you can also leave if you don’t want to work at any time.
In order to express his sincerity, he transferred the director who had previously fired him for his illegal operations to another hospital.
That means that if Sean returns to San Jose Bonaventure Hospital, he will definitely not see the people he doesn’t want to see. Out of sight, out of mind.
However, even with these excellent treatments, Sean still chose to refuse.
“why?”
The person who was called to the San Jose Bonaventure Hospital to lobby was Sean’s roommate during his internship, who is now the deputy director of surgery, so it was difficult for him to understand why he was not satisfied with such conditions?
Do you still want to stay in Tomorrow Clinic where the salary is not that high?
“Because my best friend is here.”
Sean showed a smile as pure and bright as a child’s.
The bond between the three began when Jiang Ming, Robert and I performed a makeshift surgery on a black child at the Portland light rail station.
At that time, the three of them each performed their duties and cooperated very well.
This time, Robert was responsible for the theory and provided technical and theoretical support for Sean’s patent, while Jiang Ming was responsible for paying the money.
Jiang Ming really didn’t understand this kind of 3D printing. It was totally not his field. But if you say Jiang Ming is a genius boss, he immediately asked Sean to try to see if he could print out acupuncture and physiotherapy needles. If he could achieve this strength, it would be really awesome.
So Sean is looking forward to actually developing the acupuncture and physiotherapy needles that Jiang Ming mentioned, and he also looks forward to applying 3D printing technology on a large scale in modern medical care in tomorrow’s clinic.
He wants to help Jiang Ming and the clinic reach the top!
Sean has too many good friends here. In his eyes, friendship is more important than money, it’s that simple.
“I have to say, your team of doctors and clinic are truly the utopia for all of us doctors.”
In the end, Sean’s internship roommate who was sent by San Jose Bonaventure Hospital to lobby no longer wanted to lobby, and was almost betrayed.
He is a doctor too.
From Sean’s words, he felt that he had been corrupted by money for a long time. What Sean said was the true purity of medicine. To be honest, only an environment like Tomorrow’s Clinic could give him such purity.
“Just do it!”
Sean learned one of Jiang Ming’s slogans and said goodbye to his old friend.
Do what you want to do, do it, and it’s done!
Jiang Ming still spent the 2012 Spring Festival in Portland, but it was obvious that this year’s Spring Festival in China was different.
Because there is a Spring Festival atmosphere on the streets of Portland.
In the past few years, there was no element of the Spring Festival at all. Although Chinatown has not been built this year, Chinese vendors who came to Portland to start businesses spontaneously gave out free God of Wealth stickers and performed lion and dragon dances and Spring Festival performances on the streets, making it very lively.
of course.
We have to admit that Houston did make some contribution in this regard.
Because most of these Chinese vendors moved from Houston.
Wherever Yao Ming is, there they are!
So when Jiang Ming went out to find a restaurant to have New Year’s Eve dinner, he also expressed his admiration for the entrepreneurial spirit of the Chinese people to his boss.
If China doesn’t make this money, who will?
Too hardworking!
The boss smiled as he made dumplings:
“This is all thanks to you, Director Jiang.”
“No, no, no, it has nothing to do with me.”
Jiang Ming knew that he did not have such a strong ability to motivate others. He was just a doctor. He could not attract people by playing basketball like Yao Ming. He could only attract patients to see him.
Patients usually don’t have the mood to celebrate the holidays or eat, drink and have fun. There are several fast-food Chinese restaurants next to the clinic that will be able to fully meet their needs.
Traffic can drive traffic. This year everyone is looking forward to Yao Ming winning his second championship, so this year the Trail Blazers’ home games have been included in the must-see activities for travelers to Europe and the United States by many Chinese international travel agencies.
That is to say, most ten-day trips to Europe and the United States include watching a home game of the Portland Trail Blazers. Suddenly, the business volume of local Chinese has increased, and the local economy has naturally also increased.
The purchasing power of Chinese people has been terrifying in recent years.
The Blazers management and Portland leaders naturally saw all these scenes. On the one hand, they followed Jiang Ming’s suggestions to improve service facilities and service quality, such as increasing security after dark to avoid and reduce theft.
On the other hand, the Blazers are preparing for Yao Ming’s retirement by trying to get another Chinese player over.
So now there are the most Trail Blazers scouts in China, but their quality is really lackluster and it is very difficult to find a new star.
So they even want the Chinese-American guard Jeremy Lin who was just cut by the Warriors Development League. After all, he looks like a Chinese. But on the one hand, Lin is old, and on the other hand, the Trail Blazers have no shortage of young point guards. Isn’t Dragic better than this undrafted player?
Jiang Ming is not in a hurry about this. If he is so eager for quick success, then what is the difference between him and the Rockets?
This is also the reason why he rejected Yi Jianlian’s proposal.
Don’t do it deliberately. Every player on the team’s roster is useful. You can’t recruit a player for reasons other than basketball. This goes against the essence of basketball.
Take it slow. When the Trail Blazers are in need of a player in a certain position and China happens to have a future star in that position, won’t that be a natural outcome?
The main reason is that we have Yao Ming now.
These politicians should not be more willing to accept good advice. They are greedy for more while having their cake and eating it too. This is a big taboo.
Therefore, Jiang Ming actually didn’t exert much force, so the pushing speed wouldn’t be fast.
After all, Jiang Ming and McGowan are both in charge of scouts and the player trading market, and things can only happen if these two people agree on it together.
However, Jiang Ming’s team of doctors soon received the first external dispatch order of the new year.
A huge medical bill of US$280 million for medical treatment.
This price clearly shows that there is something wrong with the superstar.
The reason was that Kobe tore the deltoid ligament in his right wrist in the city derby between the Lakers and the Clippers at the beginning of the year. Yahoo Sports reported at the time that the injury was serious and required surgery and he would be out for three months.
But Kobe insisted on playing with the injury. Before the game, he asked the team’s medical team to inject anesthetics to relieve the pain, and he had to wear protective gear on and off the court.
In this situation, his injury condition took a turn for the worse. In the opinion of the Trail Blazers’ medical team, although the torn deltoid ligament in his right wrist did not result in a fracture, he definitely needs rest.
What should we do if Kobe causes avulsion and fracture of the triangular bone by doing this?
The Trail Blazers’ words came true. Kobe’s team came to them and paid a large sum of money for help because the Lakers’ medical team messed up and allowed Kobe to play again and again, which led to Kobe’s triangular bone avulsion fracture in his right wrist!!!
Originally, Kobe just landed on the ground and supported himself with his wrist like an ordinary basketball fan, but he was forced to go on the court with the approval of himself and the Los Angeles team medical staff, and now he is completely unable to play.
There is tearing pain in local joints and ligaments, and no matter how strong Kobe’s Mamba spirit is, it will be useless.
After taking ibuprofen for pain relief and making 30 of 7 shots in a game, he flew directly to the Trail Blazers’ Chinese Medicine Department on a private jet.
So the outpatient orders that Jiang Ming had not yet accepted were directly transformed into home visits, but the medical fees remained unchanged.
The requirement was to play as soon as possible within a month, Jiang Ming told Kobe directly:
“Pick your nose. If you want this or that, go somewhere else. I won’t treat you anymore.”
Kobe was so scared that he quickly humbly passed the blame to his agent:
“No, no, no, that’s what the agent team said. You just need to heal my hand.”
In fact, everyone knows that Kobe is very competitive. Since the Lakers’ Big Five are only ranked seventh in the Western Conference this year, how can he not be anxious?
But in front of doctors, especially the team of miracle doctors who recently made it to the tech page because of 3D printing, Kobe had to bow his head.
If it were an ordinary doctor, Kobe would have yelled at him and told him to hurry up and to be back within a month.
“That’s pretty much it.”
Jiang Ming actually likes to treat basketball stars like Kobe the most.
Like Garnett, Rose, and Bosh before, they didn’t need to be too comfortable when being treated. They all flew here and left after being treated. They didn’t need to follow up with subsequent physical therapy.
It’s only now that James has lost this business, otherwise he would have accepted everyone who comes.
Because these patients have a lot of money but few problems, they can be used as an example of “robbing the rich to help the poor.”
The main reason is that they all have private doctors, so they don’t have any major problems.
The reason I came here is to use traditional Chinese medicine to improve efficiency and provide targeted treatment. After all, Jiang Ming can control the details very well and make the superstars feel comfortable all of a sudden.
So this time, Jiang Ming first made Kobe scream like a pig being slaughtered to reset his wrist, and then used splints, plaster, etc. to fix the local area, which can promote the self-recovery of local soft tissue.
Finally, acupuncture was used to stop the inflammation, and in order to justify the more than 200 million US dollars, Kobe’s wrist was also treated with moxibustion and cupping.
This really made Kobe feel that it was worth it. It was so comfortable. It had been a long time since he felt so comfortable both mentally and physically.
But Jiang Ming didn’t expect that this treatment would be a small boomerang.
Because the X-ray of Kobe’s wrist was normal two weeks later, the Black Mamba’s recovery ability was truly amazing. He started to disobey again and announced his comeback without a follow-up visit.
Jiang Ming also had something to say. In order to avoid being criticized by the so-called 70 billion Kobe fans, he tweeted that Kobe’s comeback was not approved by his own clinic and it was entirely the fault of the Los Angeles team’s medical team.
He still couldn’t avoid the ridicule from Lakers fans, not because he didn’t cure Kobe, but because he cured him too well.
Because Kobe’s first game after returning from injury was against the Trail Blazers, Jiang Ming’s tweet made Kobe fans feel that the Trail Blazers were afraid of losing.
“Afraid of losing? Not a possibility.”
Jiang Ming, who was playing at home, also helped Kobe with cupping before the Lakers game as a follow-up visit, and said that my hope is that all members of both teams are healthy and can really fight, but in your current situation, I really don’t recommend forcing a comeback.
Of course, he also knew that Kobe would not listen, so he left after removing the cupping jar. The most important thing was to give physical therapy to his own players.
The most embarrassing result is that the players did not live up to expectations. Today, Harden and Roy both turned into masters of glaring and were beaten by Kobe. Kobe scored 32 points in his first game after his comeback and the Trail Blazers lost.
It is also worth mentioning that Kobe also had 7 assists.
This is the only time in the past three seasons that Kobe scored 3+ points and had 30 assists. This statistic is quite unpopular.
So this is the main reason for the loss. The combination of Howard + Gasol is quite good. Howard suppressed Oden, and Gasol and Yao Ming were evenly matched. The Trail Blazers felt a bit uncomfortable.
However, the influence of the miracle doctor Jiang Ming is still very large. If it were normal, Kobe would definitely mock him and announce his return as a king. He would definitely pretend to be cool.
But because they were in the Trail Blazers, in Jiang Ming’s territory, Kobe still gave the Trail Blazers face and said a rare word for the first time:
“It just happened, it was just luck, it was hard for us to win at the Trail Blazers’ home court, luckily we did it.”
Then it became a praise session for Jiang Ming, because there must be media asking him how he feels now:
“Doctor Jiang Ming, you are always my god!”
As a superstar who has worked with Jiang Ming at least five times, Kobe Bryant has never questioned Jiang Ming’s medical skills. The new head coach D’Antoni also said:
“A miracle doctor is a miracle doctor. I didn’t expect him (Bryant) to come back so soon. The help he brought to us is unquestionable. But I’m sorry, we defeated you.”
D’Antoni couldn’t help but smile. After all, he was the former head coach of the Suns. There were many ties between the Suns and the Trail Blazers, especially three or four years ago when the Trail Blazers entered the playoffs and the Suns were squeezed out. The main thing was that this time it was really funny. Jiang Ming announced that Kobe’s comeback was not his intention, and then he took down the Trail Blazers.
Kobe also touched his nose, but he still couldn’t help it.
But what they didn’t expect was that the Lakers would be beaten by another Chinese face in the next game!!!
“This is crazy, LIN!!!”
