Chapter 219 Running Knee

"Shaq performed very well. He scored 32 points and 13 rebounds. He had nothing to do under the basket..."

Jackson, who was subconsciously answering the question, suddenly woke up, shut up immediately, paused briefly, and continued: "Of course, Kobe's performance was equally outstanding. His offense was still outstanding and he scored 21 points. He is also the core of our perimeter defense. The team has been a big help.”

After saying that, Jackson nodded secretly, yes, you can't just praise O'Neal. At such a sensitive moment, if you don't say something good about pediatrics, it will only be more difficult.

He couldn't help but think of the locker room after the game.

After losing the game, Kobe went straight back to the locker room with a sullen face.

He didn't even pay attention to the young fans reaching out for his autograph on both sides of the player's tunnel. If it were in the past, especially for such young fans, Kobe would definitely stop and fulfill their wishes.

Now it can only mean that Kobe is very angry.

When everyone returned to the locker room, Jackson found that the locker room was as dull as a tomb.

No one said anything, just minding their own business.

But I just praised it, what’s wrong.

On the other side, Chen Yu, who was busy with post-game work, was saying goodbye to everyone.

What made Jackson even more alarmed was that even O'Neal, who was always big-hearted and would laugh and discuss where to go for fun after losing, sat there with a dark face and said nothing.

At that moment, Jackson was in a bad mood. It was normal to use some tricks while playing, but he couldn't actively provoke conflicts within the team and tear down other people's teams.

Jackson's head is getting big. It's understandable that Kobe is angry. Why are you so angry?

I've never seen you care so much about winning or losing.

The offense is still excellent, and the perimeter defense is the core. Are you sure you are not telling lies?

It's true that he scored 21 points, but could you please take a look at the shooting percentage? With a shooting percentage of less than %, you have the nerve to praise your excellent offense.

O'Neal, who regarded himself as the core of the team's boss, could not tolerate Kobe's challenge to his position.

"Okay, you don't have to be like this. Maybe I can catch up with you guys to win the championship in the finals." Seeing that everyone was a little reluctant to give up, Chen Yu couldn't help but explain.

Jackson has always felt that this was the core issue in the growing gap between O'Neal and Kobe.

If Kobe can attack less, O'Neal will definitely score more than 32 points in this game. The Suns will relax the double-teaming in this game. If he can catch the ball, O'Neal will score 40 points in this game.

What else is the core of perimeter defense? If Kobe is the core of perimeter defense, then Hardaway's 13 points in a single quarter and 35 points in the game are nothing. It has nothing to do with you Kobe, right?

You name it, there are a few in the league who can score 20 plus points under such tough conditions.

Judging from the arranged schedule, the last game of the US team in the group stage should be against Italy on June 6.

Of course, O'Neal's focus is not on this loss, but on Kobe's unwillingness to pass the ball to him honestly.

There was some commotion in the audience.

Jackson could use his big toe to guess why O'Neal was angry. He must be angry that Kobe was mindless and didn't pass the ball to him. He thought that if Kobe passed the ball to him honestly, he wouldn't lose this game.

As for the next knockout round, Chen Yu is not considering it at all. At the level of the US team, can it qualify from the group?

When Jackson came back to his senses, he couldn't help but blush when he saw the doubtful eyes of many reporters.

It can only be said that Taiyang's move is damaging his mother's door, and it is extremely damaging.

At this time, if there are more games in the Western Conference Finals and Finals, maybe the Finals is not over yet.

Everyone looked at each other and nodded.

"That's right, our national team is pretty good." Nelson nodded in agreement.

The others were silent. It was more than just food. It was so much food that they didn't even know how good it was.

"Let's go." Chen Yu finally waved his hand, telling everyone they could leave.

Chen Yu didn't even mention the outcome of the next game, and there was no need to mention it. Being able to reach the Western Conference Finals this year is actually very good. Chen Yu knew that. Anyway, at the beginning of the season, Brian's only thought was Just make it to the playoffs, not all the way to the Western Conference Finals.

The next day, Chen Yu and Lexi were like a couple going on vacation, carrying their luggage and boarding a plane to Washington.

Even before the playoffs started, the US team was scheduled to go to Japan on the 24th.

Chen Yu was already one day late waiting for the third game of the Western Conference Finals, so he agreed to fly directly to Japan and meet the American team there.

But now they have temporarily changed their plans and flew to Washington first to meet up with the American team who had not yet left.

Because the president didn't know what to think, he suddenly decided to take time to meet with the national team before the national team went on tour.

Because of this, I was delayed for two days.

Regarding this, Chen Yu didn't know what Contiguglia thought. Anyway, Chen Yu wanted to complain.

If you want to meet, tell me early.

And he was in a hurry. Chen Yu arrived in Washington at 11:40 noon and had no time to rest. He had to go to the White House immediately because the meeting time was at 1 p.m.

You see, they don’t even care about lunch.

Moreover, Lexi was not on the interview list yet and had to stay at the airport waiting, because after the interview, everyone would leave immediately.

The whole process can only be said to be no ordinary torment.

But this is Chen Yu’s first time entering the White House.

After a tedious security check, Chen Yu was taken into a reception room by the staff.

In the spacious reception room, Contiguglia and all members of the national team have arrived.

Everyone was dressed in formal attire, suits and leather shoes.

But it seemed like they had to wait for a while. Many players were lazy and couldn't cheer up. Chen Yu greeted everyone one by one, but he hadn't seen each other for a while. In the final warm-up match, because of the playoffs, Chen Yu didn't go with the team at all.

And once they were seated, Contiguglia and head coach Arena talked most about the Western Conference Finals.

"Chen, to be honest, I feel you can win the championship this year." Team leader August Martin pursed his lips and said seriously.

Chen Yu waved his hand and thought, you can pull him down. Ask Scales to see if he has the confidence.

Although he won the third game, he was still worried after listening to what Skiles said at the post-game press conference. He kept talking about how strong the Lakers are.

At this time, Arena said again: "Chen, you are an official from the NBA. Is there any news from the league? Who do you want to win?"

Chen Yu understood and knew what Arena wanted to say.

It's about controlling the field.

After all, the NBA is a business league, and everything is about making money.

Los Angeles is a big ball market, not to mention that the Lakers have three consecutive championships this year and hope to create a glorious dynasty.

"No." Chen Yu shook his head.

The most direct way to control the field is to look at free throws, but after the first three games, I feel that the referee's whistle is still very normal. Occasionally there is a problem, and it is the kind that will be corrected on the spot. Anyway, after watching the three games, Chen Yu did not clearly feel the referee. The whistle is biased.

"And like you said, if the league wants to create a gimmick and give the Lakers a three-peat championship, then we can do that too. We have Ewing, and it would be good for him, the uncrowned king, to win a championship at the end of his career. gimmick."

Not to mention, you can also praise Hardaway.

After all, this is the successor to Jordan recognized by the league. He fell due to injuries and has always lacked hard honors. Now that he has returned from injury and is healthy, it is normal for Stern to praise him.

Just look at the sales of jerseys and shoes.

This season, Hardaway's jersey sales are still among the top three in the league.

Not to mention sneakers.

Hill didn't know why, but he signed with Fila, but Hardaway signed with Nike, and his sneakers have been selling well. After his comeback this year, sales have really increased significantly.

From this perspective, Hardaway also has huge commercial value.

Arena nodded and said, "Chen, I hope the Suns win the championship. Because of you, I am now a Suns fan."

Chen Yu thanked him dumbfounded.

After chatting for a while, President Shi Shiran arrived nearly twenty minutes later than scheduled.

Chen Yu stood up and stood behind the crowd, maintaining a smile to save face.

"Chen, I know you."

Unexpectedly, the president shook hands all the way. After seeing Chen Yu, his eyes suddenly lit up. He came over and held Chen Yu's hand. He said with some surprise: "You are a well-known miracle doctor in the United States. And you have cured so many people." Super stars, you know, I'm a sports fan, and it's really hard for me to see those stars suffering from injuries."

Chen Yu looked at the president awkwardly, not expecting him to be so enthusiastic, and inexplicably feeling guilty. When voting, he did not vote for him.

"By the way, you are the top orthopedic surgeon in the United States and a medical consultant for NASA. I want to ask you, I have been having a problem with my knee. Can it be solved?" The president patted his right leg and asked with a frown.

Obviously, he knew Chen Yu and knew that Chen Yu was a medical consultant for NASA.

Chen Yu subconsciously looked at his right knee.

Logically speaking, the president has an entire medical team, which is top-notch, so there shouldn't be any problems.

But after one look, Chen Yu understood.

Isn’t this just runner’s knee?

Chen Yu remembered that the biggest hobby of the man in front of him was running.

Moreover, the cartilage surface of the patella is severely worn.

Because running causes the knee joint to flex and extend too much, the patella also moves too much. Coupled with chronic inflammation and friction back and forth, it is easy to cause cartilage wear.

When the cartilage is worn away, there is dry grinding between bones, causing pain all the time.

"Mr. President, your knee pain is caused by runner's knee," Chen Yu said.

The president was stunned and asked Chen Yu in surprise how he knew.

Chen Yu had already thought of his excuse, saying that it was obvious from his gait when he came in, and that he loves running, so it was natural to guess that he had a runner's knee problem.

"You can still tell problems from a person's gait, it's incredible." The president looked shocked. It's no wonder that so many world-class players came to Chen Yu for treatment.

"Can it be completely cured? I mean, make my knees completely healthy and I can run with confidence again." Not being able to run would kill him.

Chen Yu nodded: "Of course."

For runner's knee, if it's just about relieving pain, it's very simple. It's impossible for a bunch of medical experts in the White House to do it.

But what is difficult is, as he said, fully recovering and being able to continue running. This is difficult.

The wear and tear of cartilage is almost irreversible.

Even if the cartilage is rebuilt, it is difficult to return to a completely healthy state under normal circumstances.

As long as there are still problems with the cartilage, it will be impossible to run without restraint.

However, these problems are not problems in front of Chen Yu.

His cartilage damage is nothing compared to Barty's.
