Sports medicine starts with the Sun Miracle Doctor

Chapter 161 Is Chinese medicine so powerful?

He spoke fluent English and his tone was friendly.

Most importantly, he mentioned the term sports medicine.

Of course, the concept of sports medicine has a long history. For example, in 1928, the Federation of Sports Medicine was established in the world.

But at that time, it was just a combination of medicine and sports to study how to treat and prevent sports injuries.

It is in these years that the development has reached another stage and is highly integrated with medicine. Medical schools in the United States have gradually separated this part and established specialized disciplines.

The person in front of me, Yao Songping, spoke such a professional vocabulary when he came up, so he obviously knew his stuff.

After asking, I found out that he is a top student in China's physical education field. He once studied for a doctorate at the Moscow Institute of Physical Education. His tutor is also an internationally renowned expert in sports theory and has studied in the field of sports for many years.

A group of people walked to the training hall, chatting while walking.

Compared to Li Yaoming, Yao Songping was obviously much more direct when talking about Yao Ming's participation in the draft.

"From the perspective of the Basketball Association, we certainly support players to go out, get in touch with higher-level leagues, and improve their own strength. Yao Ming is a good prospect. If he stays with the Oriental team, the Oriental team may be able to dominate Class A for many years. , but that’s all.”

"For Chinese basketball, there will be no more help, but if he goes out, uses his abilities, improves his level, and in turn drives the players to go out and make basketball develop better, that will be A thing of immeasurable merit.”

"So from that point of view, the club should give way and submit to the interests of the country."

When he said this, Yao Songping glanced at Li Yaoming vaguely.

Obviously, he was beating Li Yaoming and setting the tone.

Li Yaoming remained calm and looked like he was listening to the teachings. Only he knew exactly what he was thinking.

Chen Yu was even more unclear about the twists and turns here, so he could only listen to it for fun.

However, Chen Yu heard that it seemed that the leader Yao Songping supported Yao Ming to participate in the NBA draft.

For the sun, this is a good thing.

Yao Ming himself did not participate in the draft last year. On the one hand, the conditions offered by the Eastern Team were also an important reason for persuading the Wizards to withdraw.

Chatting all the way to the basketball gym.

Players from the Eastern team are already training in the arena.

Chen Yu only found out after chatting that these players basically live in the school and have dormitories.

"Then who are they, professional players or athletes?" Chen Yu asked a question.

What is a professional player? It is a job.

Clock in and clock out.

Living together like this is unimaginable.

Yao Songping said with a smile: "Of course they are professional players, but before professional players, they also have an identity. They are athletes trained by our country, so they have the responsibility to represent the country in competitions."

When he said this, Yao Songping looked at Chen Yu with a smile. He said this deliberately to Chen Yu.

Last year, the Wizards came to inspect Yao Ming, but were persuaded to quit by the Eastern Team's huge buyout fee. Part of the reason was that the Basketball Management Center required Yao Ming to return to China to participate in the national team competition.

The Wizards couldn't accept this and finally let it go.

But Yao Songping feels that this is a principle that must be adhered to. The performance of the national team takes priority, and even the club has to go around.

However, Chen Yu did not hear the deep meaning of his words. He nodded and said: "It is indeed a very honorable thing to play for the country, but the United States is different from you. If there is an international competition, they It’s about inviting players to participate.”

Chen Yu is also the team doctor of the national team. He knows better that not only the basketball team but also the football team are invited, not forced.

Chen Yu just said it casually, but in Yao Songping's ears, he heard that Chen Yu agreed with his point of view.

"Dr. Chen, you are right. Fighting for the country is a matter of great honor." Looking at Chen Yu again, his smile became a little more sincere.

Chen Yu did not notice these changes and looked at Yao Ming and others who were training.

While warming up, Yao Ming took the lead and ran circles around the court.

Li Qiuping stepped forward and introduced: "Our facilities here are quite good. There is a large equipment area where you can do a lot of equipment training. There are also cameras that can record the players' training process. By playing back the video, you can find out who is training. problems arise.”

"It can be said that this should be the best training base in the country." At the end of the sentence, Li Qiuping said quite proudly, and then asked Chen Yu what he thought.

Chen Yu smiled and said, "Let me take a look first."

Let Yao Ming and the others run around while Chen Yu follows Li Qiuping and the others to visit other facilities.

For example, the equipment area that he is extremely proud of is okay in size, but these equipments are not.

Chen Yu remained calm and looked at other areas, such as the locker room, physical therapy room, etc.

After looking around, Yao Ming and the others had already started training.

The training items are pretty much the same, just those things, some are for technical training and some are for physical training.

Chen Yu also had time to observe Yao Ming up close.

He was in good health, with almost no signs of injury.

Accompanied by an assistant coach, he was practicing low-post offensive skills. He also saw Chen Yu, smiled shyly at Chen Yu, and quickly averted his eyes.

Chen Yu also noticed that there was a player on the sidelines, and a middle-aged man who should be the team doctor was wrapping a bandage on his foot.

Walking over curiously, Chen Yu pointed to the khaki square tape on the player's foot and asked, "You are using a plaster, right? Can I ask what prescription you used?" The team doctor was confused. He looked at Chen Yu with a question mark on his face, obviously he didn't understand English.

Next to him, Li Yaoming quickly helped translate, and then asked a little strangely: "Dr. Chen, do you also know about plasters?"

He always thought that plasters were only available in China.

Chen Yu nodded, of course the United States also has plasters.

It's just that the American plasters are different from the ones Chen Yu made before.

The plaster made by Chen Yu is a traditional Chinese medicine ointment made according to the system information.

The correct term for plasters in the United States is gel plasters. It is a method of external use that carries drugs. In fact, it is not essentially different from sprays. As far as Chen Yu knows, it was initially produced and developed in Japan and South Korea, and later spread to the United States. Pharmaceutical companies in the United States generally entrust Japan and South Korea to produce it.

It has only one purpose, to relieve pain.

Anyway, Americans have a special preference for pain relief. No matter whether it is a serious illness or a minor illness, painkillers are always indispensable.

"When I was in the United States, I would also make plasters for players to use, mainly to reduce swelling and activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis." It is difficult to describe the words "activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis" in English, Chen Yu said in mixed Chinese.

The team doctor blinked and looked at Chen Yu in disbelief: "You actually know how to activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis?"

Chen Yu nodded: "Actually, there are many Chinese medicine clinics in the United States because there are many Chinese people. I have studied these, so I can not only make plasters, but also know acupuncture, moxibustion, acupoint massage, and even drinking and drinking. I think these methods , it is actually very effective in athletes’ recovery.”

Chen Yu's words, not to mention the team doctor, even the translator Li Yaoming was a little confused. It is very rare for a foreign doctor to know so much about Chinese medicine and even acupuncture.

"He may have injured his ankle."

Chen Yu looked at this player. It didn't take Chen Yu's all-seeing eyes to see that his ankle was a little swollen and it should be a sprain.

The team doctor nodded blankly.

Chen Yu continued: "It is said in the article Lingshu Meridians that the pulse of the bladder is sufficient for the sun. If it moves, it will cause disease. It is an ankle syncope, and it is the disease caused by the main tendons. Therefore, if the meridians pass through, the main treatment will be, and there are The principle of treating the disease at the lower level is to select the high point. You can use the Cuanzhu point in the upper part, the wrist bone point in the middle part, and the Kunlun point in the lower part. Whether it is acupuncture or acupoint massage, it is good for relieving sprains, swelling, and inflammation."

The original text of Lingshu cannot be translated into English, so Chen Yu speaks Chinese.

The team doctor obviously understood. With a snap, his jaw dropped. His eyes widened and he said, "You actually know about Lingshu?"

He has a background in surgery, but he combines traditional Chinese and Western medicine. When he was in the hospital, he was exposed to many theories of traditional Chinese medicine, so he knew that Lingshu was normal.

But he knew that even he didn't dare to understand Lingshu's obscure medical theories and learned them thoroughly.

And Chen Yu, a foreign doctor, actually understands this, which is incredible.

Seeing the reaction of the team doctor, Chen Yu felt a little strange and said: "Did I say something wrong? I actually don't know much about these things. I came to China this time with the idea of ​​​​learning, so where did I go?" What I said is wrong, please help me point it out."

After Li Yaoming finished translating, he asked in a low voice: "Old Yang, did Dr. Chen make a mistake?"

He gave me a look that said, don't talk nonsense.

Lao Yang understood the look in his eyes and said with a mixture of laughter and tears: "Mr. Li, I don't even understand what he said. How do you ask me to judge whether he is right or wrong?"

Traditional Chinese medicine is difficult, especially when it comes to meridians and acupuncture points. It is the core and fundamental thing of traditional Chinese medicine. Who would know if it had not been studied for many years.

He doesn’t understand anyway.

At this time, Yao Songping stepped forward and asked somewhat unexpectedly: "Dr. Chen, do you still understand Chinese medicine?"

Chen Yu nodded: "Of course, as I just said, I think some treatment methods of traditional Chinese medicine are very helpful in treating sports injuries. For example, I am now a team doctor for the Suns. Everyday, if our players are injured, such as I will use acupuncture, acupoint massage and other methods to treat sprains and muscle strains, and the results are very good."

"In this regard, I feel that the treatment methods of Western medicine are a bit single, focusing on anti-inflammation and analgesia, and are not as rich as the methods of traditional Chinese medicine."

"And in addition to acupuncture and other methods, I think traditional Chinese medicine is also very effective, such as plasters and prescriptions. Did you know that when I was in the Suns, I would also use some prescriptions to help players improve their physical fitness and speed up their recovery."

"This is some good experience. I also talked with David before the start of this season and I am ready to promote this experience to all teams."

"So this time I came here, my main idea was to learn it well in China, the birthplace of traditional Chinese medicine."

Chen Yu's words stunned Yao Songping and others.

Several people looked at each other, their expressions became very strange.

"Do Americans also use acupuncture? You see, he has said that not only acupuncture, but also traditional Chinese medicine, and what preparations are there to promote it in all teams? By the way, the David he is talking about, is it David? Stern." Li Qiuping asked in a low voice.

Li Yaoming frowned: "I always thought that the training level and medical level in the United States were good. Is it because of Chinese medicine? Yao Bureau, are our Chinese medicine doctors so powerful?"

He looked at Yao Songping.

He rarely goes abroad, and he doesn't know that this is the case outside.

But Yao Songping is a leader and often goes out for inspections and research, so he should know something about it.

Yao Songping said don't ask me, I don't know these things either.

But listening to Chen Yu's tone, it seems that Chinese medicine is a very important thing in the NBA.

This actually made Yao Songping feel a little proud and proud for no reason.

Traditional Chinese medicine is a treasure of China.

If it weren't for Chen Yu today, Yao Songping wouldn't know how powerful Chinese medicine is.
