Sports medicine starts with the Sun Miracle Doctor

Chapter 135 A small injury turns into a big injury

"You... hello."

Bart stammered in reply. It was a bit incredible to meet people who spoke Chinese in a foreign country. They were cordial and at the same time.

"Hello."

Chen Yu looked at Xia Song again.

Xia Song came back to his senses and quickly shook hands with Chen Yu, but there was already murmuring in his heart.

Posey didn't make it clear just now. Xia Song only knew that Chen Yu's surname was Chen and that he was of Chinese descent. How could a Chinese man be so prosperous in the NBA?

"Come on, I've heard David say a long time ago that if you want to invite Chinese players to the NBA, you should be the first one. I hope you can successfully sign with the Nuggets." When we met for the first time, we were not familiar with each other, so Chen Yu came over to say hello. .

In fact, Chen Yu has always been very curious about China, especially after learning a lot about acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine from the system, he became even more curious about that distant eastern country.

Chen Yu still remembers that when he was very young, he went to San Francisco to meet his grandfather several times.

Chen Yu's grandfather came to the United States during the gold rush and later settled in the United States. Therefore, Chen Yu's grandfather grew up in China when he was a child. When he got old, his legs and feet were inconvenient and he couldn't move. He always talked to Chen Yu and wanted to go back to China and his hometown. one look.

But in the end, this wish did not come true.

Butler and Xia Song nodded.

Especially Xia Song, there was a wave in his heart.

Listen to David, which David?

Couldn't it be David Stern?

What kind of identity does Chen Yu have, and he knows David Stern?

He wanted to ask, but Chen Yu had already turned around and walked away.

At this moment, Xia Song became interested in Chen Yu. It was so rare for a Chinese-American to be able to get along well in the NBA.

Let Butler continue training, Xia Song left the training hall and went to find Su Yu and the others outside the gym.

They cover the NBA and should know more about the situation here.

"Chen Yu?"

Su Yan was stunned for a moment and muttered why he was here.

But the next moment I figured out why, McDyess was injured.

"You are not in the United States and don't know him. He is a doctor and is very famous in the United States. He is now the team doctor of the Suns and the head of the NBA's official player health management department. He is considered a member of the league." Su Yu immediately explained.

Xia Song raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise: "Is he so powerful?"

He is actually an official of the NBA.

Su Yan nodded: "No, many people have come to him for treatment, including Hill, Hardaway, Olajuwon, Ewing, and football people. Do you know the alien Ronaldo? He also treated him. I remember our Sports Weekly reported it, didn’t you read it?”

Xia Song shook his head. He really didn't notice the news.

"Anyway, he's pretty good. He seems to be the team doctor of the U.S. National Football Team now." Su Yu thought of another thing, then saw Xia Song thoughtfully and said, "Old Xia, are you trying to pass him? Let Butler go to the sun?"

Xia Song shook his head quickly: "No, we are not familiar with him, and he is not a team doctor, so he can't help."

Su Yu said: "Don't underestimate him, he has a lot of energy. Do you know what he does in the player health management department? After these NBA players are injured, whether they can come back or not requires his nod to agree, so Many team managements want to sell him face."

Xia Song was shocked and realized that the player health management department had so much power.

Su Yan added: "Actually, it's good for the NBA to set up this department. Look at how much attention they pay to players' health. In this regard, Class A can really learn from it."

Just as he was talking, a staff member ran over from the players' side, came to Xia Song, and handed over a business card.

"Chen asked me to give it to you. He said that if you need any help in the United States, you can contact him."

Xia Song looked at the business card in his hand unexpectedly, and suddenly felt good about Chen Yu.

He never expected that when they met for the first time and they were not familiar with each other, Chen Yu would offer to help.

"Take it, Lao Xia." Su Yu said with a smile: "He is a top doctor. If... ah, he is a very powerful doctor anyway. Maybe there is something he can do to help."

Speaking of this, Su Wei said with emotion: "Speaking of which, there are a lot of injured soldiers in the national team. Yang Chen, Li Ming and others can really come to the United States to see him. He is really good."

Xia Song nodded thoughtfully and put the business card away carefully.

On the other side, Chen Yu went to the Nuggets' partner hospital, the University of Colorado Hospital, and obtained McDyess's medical records.

"Martin, are you sure Antonio was injured during training camp?" Chen Yu looked up at Nuggets team doctor Martin Scorsese.

This guy is in his early fifties, wearing black-rimmed glasses, and is the director of orthopedics at the University of Colorado Hospital.

Martin glanced quickly at Vandeweghe and nodded.

Chen Yu remained calm on the surface, but he was already scolding in his heart.

I believe you big-headed ghosts.

After getting the medical records, Chen Yu knew exactly what injuries McDyess had suffered.

Just like Ronaldo, he tore the patellar ligament in his left knee!

A serious illness that could definitely ruin his career!

He is only 27 years old. He has just become an All-Star and is at his peak. He has great physical fitness and amazing jumping. He is a famous jumper in the league.

After suffering this kind of injury, one can almost predict what his career will be like next.

Probably after a long period of recuperation, he returned to the game with a broken leg, and was reduced from an All-Star level insider to a marginal player.

Glancing at Vandeweghe, this guy looked unnatural.

Chen Yu had already guessed what happened.

Last season, McDyess definitely injured his patellar ligament, and it was by no means as simple as a sprain, it might have been a tear. Then just as the season was coming to an end, the Nuggets chose conservative treatment.

After several months of recovery, he was not fully recovered and chose to return to the team. During the training camp, the patellar ligament that had not grown well was injured again and directly ruptured.

That's why the Nuggets chose to have surgery again.

If the Nuggets had asked themselves to undergo repair surgery when the injury first occurred, they might only need a minimally invasive surgery, and after an offseason of rehabilitation, they would be able to start the new season healthy.

It's fine now. It was completely broken and required open surgery, suture repair, and a long recovery period like Ronaldo's.

I didn’t say anything, just reimburse me for this season.

This is what Chen Yu is most afraid of. A small injury will turn into a major injury. If he does not receive proper treatment, eventually a top player in his prime will be lost to everyone.

But now that the matter has come to this, what can Chen Yu say.

Scolding Vandeweghe for being unreliable?

You can't blame him. He was still with the Mavericks when McDyess was injured.

If you want to scold, you should also scold Iser.

He is a Nuggets legend, the Nuggets head coach, and the general manager for the past two years. McDyess's choice of conservative treatment must have been his instruction.

Rubbing his temples, Chen Yu said, "You can have surgery, but I have to do it."

Chen Yu looked at a few people.

"Of course, it couldn't be better." Vandeweghe nodded hastily. If he could choose, of course he would choose Chen Yu, who was at a higher level.

Martin also nodded in agreement. He could do this kind of surgery, but after doing it, there was no guarantee that McDyess could fully recover and return to his previous level. If he had a choice, he would rather not have this surgery.

"That's it. Let Antonio go to Phoenix as soon as possible." Chen Yu stood up.

There is nothing to say now, just wait for the punishment after reporting it to the league.

This time, Chen Yu had to do anything to scare the monkeys and make all team management understand that messing around with players' injuries is murdering the players' careers.

And it's a lose-lose outcome for both the players and the team.

After returning to the hotel, Chen Yu contacted Stern.

On the phone, after listening to Chen Yu's narration, Stern couldn't help but curse.

The All-Star who just made it last year.

"Farke, it seems I have to talk to Stanley."

It’s talking about Nuggets owner Stanley Cronkey.

"No, David, I think you need to talk to all the team owners." Chen Yu interrupted Stern, and then said: "You should let them know that concealing player injuries in this way will also harm your health in the long run. Loss of their interests.”

A good All-Star center has a salary of tens of millions. Because of this incident, the season will be reimbursed. Wouldn't the team suffer a big loss?

Stern sighed: "Chen, I know what to do."

This time, Stern was fast.

On the day Chen Yu arrived in Sacramento by plane, the league's punishment for the Nuggets had arrived.

Penalty the Nuggets management $200,000.

The money is not much, which is a symbolic punishment.

But the important thing is the attitude. Tell all team management in the league that it is not okay to mess around with player injuries.

Because of this situation, the Kings management is even more vulnerable.

Even the bosses, the Maluf brothers, came out in person to receive Chen Yu.

General manager Geoff Petrie also vowed to tell Chen Yu that they had never concealed Weber's injury.

"Whether there is any concealment can only be determined after Chen has completed the inspection."

The speaker was Aaron Goodwin, Weber's agent, with a stern face and a serious expression.

Petrie cursed in his heart, but could only smile and nod. He had already heard that after Chen Yu confirmed that the Nuggets management was hiding McDyess' injury, McDyess's agent, Andy Miller, was restless. , a big-name agent who is good at poaching and causing trouble, has decided to sue the Nuggets management, believing that they have harmed McDyess's interests.

And the Goodwin in front of him was not an easy guy to get along with.

At the cooperative hospital, Chen Yu met Weber and got the detailed case.

"There is no problem, it's just a simple ankle sprain, the lateral ankle muscles, and some minor strains on the calcaneofibular ligament. According to the current diagnosis, four to six weeks of rest will be enough."

Compared to McDyess, Webber's injuries were nothing more than drizzle.

"Did you hear that? The ligaments are injured." Goodwin glared at Petrie, and then said: "Chen, is the injury serious?"

Chen Yu glanced at Goodwin and felt that this guy was a bit worried about the world being in chaos.

"It's not serious. It's a minor problem. It needs conservative treatment and more rest."

Goodwin frowned slightly and immediately said: "Joff, I think it is very necessary to send Chris to Phoenix and let Chen come for treatment. Of course, you will be responsible for the cost."

Petrie wanted to kick Goodwin to death.

But at this moment, Petrie nodded and asked Chen Yu if it was convenient.

What can Chen Yu say? You are here in a hurry to send money. How can I be inconvenienced?

Returning to Phoenix with Weber, Chen Yu did not stay in Phoenix for long. After arranging things here, he took Lexi on the plane to Italy.
