Sports medicine starts with the Sun Miracle Doctor

Chapter 72: Taking office as director of the medical department
Has this one not retired yet?

In Chen Yu's impression, he felt that Olajuwon was of the same era as Jordan.

As for Jordan, he has entered the palace for the second time, and Olajuwon is still playing.

But think about it, Ewing is still playing and still the main center for the Sonics.

Chen Yu carefully looked at Olajuwon's case.

The right knee collateral ligament strain, joint wear, bursitis, and a leg ravaged by injuries.

For the Rockets, conservative treatment is recommended.

There isn't much of a choice either.

The key is still Olajuwon. He still wants to play or not. After all, he is 38 years old.

Chen Yu thought of Ewing again. He met him in Atlanta before. Chen Yu also saw that he was also injured. He was similar to Olajuwon and was on the verge of retirement.

But in real comparison, Ewing is in better shape.

After thinking about it, Chen Yu checked Olajuwon's data online again, and was surprised to find that he could still contribute 10.3 points and 6.2 rebounds last season.

Pushing forward one season, he could still score 18.9 points and 9.6 rebounds.

He is still an All-Star level center.

Although he is older, with this strength, it seems a pity to retire.

Chen Yu first circled Olajuwon's report and then processed other reports.

In Olajuwon's case, surgery may or may not be required. If not, then various rehabilitation treatments will be required to restore athletic ability as much as possible.

Of course, it is definitely impossible to expect to rely on conservative treatment to return to the physical level he had when he won the championship.

The most important thing is that Chen Yu doesn't have that much therapeutic effect.

If you really want more, you can give him some evenly.

Other reports are much simpler.

Chen Yu has become the head of the new department and has power in his hands, but there is no need to abuse it. They have handled it well and there are no problems at all. Why should he get stuck with others?

Van Horn applied for reinstatement and was granted.

Sabonis, too.

Kobe Bryant of the Lakers, minor problem, agrees.

Most of them are minor problems, and there are not many cases that really affect your career.

Chen Yu quickly compiled a document and sent it back to Tatum.

In just this moment, I may have completed a month's worth of work.

After doing all this, Chen Yu called Tatum again and asked him to contact Olajuwon and ask for his personal thoughts.

After coming out of the American West Arena, standing on the roadside and preparing to take a taxi back to the hospital, Chen Yu suddenly noticed that there was a two-story building in the southeast corner of the American West Arena.

The area is not bad, it is estimated to be more than 1000 square meters. Judging from the exterior wall of the building, it must be a few years old. I didn't know what it was used for. Now the door is closed, and there is a sign for rent in a prominent position at the door.

Chen Yu walked over and took a good circle around the building.

There is enough space, and there is a parking lot in front of the main entrance. It is not big, but it can park ten cars.

Located right at the crossroads, transportation is very convenient.

The key is to have your back to the American West Arena and your legs to the main entrance of the American West Arena, which is probably only 200 meters away.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Yu dialed the number on the sign.

Soon, a balding middle-aged man arrived driving a Chrysler.

He got out of the car in a hurry with his briefcase and ran to Chen Yu. Just as he was about to extend his hand to say hello, he suddenly froze, looked at Chen Yu again, and then said in surprise: "I know you, there is your photo in the newspaper, you are The doctor who operated on Penny."

In the past two days, local media in Phoenix have reported a lot about Chen Yu.

"It's me, what do you call me?"

"You can call me Nate." He responded and quickly handed over a business card.

Chen Yu took it and glanced at it. Nate Torrence was the general manager of a real estate agency.

It is probably a small intermediary company opened by myself.

Nate couldn't help but ask again: "Chen, can Pence really recover? You don't know, I am a Suns fan."

When Hardaway was signed to form a 2000-man backcourt, all Phoenix fans were excited.

As a result, Hardaway was injured after playing only one season.

Chen Yu did not disclose Hardaway's situation and said: "Mr. Torrence, let's get down to business."

Nate said oh, and stopped asking questions knowingly, and quickly introduced the building behind him.

"This is an old building in Chinatown that belongs to James Zhou. When the American West Arena was built in 92, the city government wanted to buy this building and offered a high price, but James Zhou refused to agree."

"A few years ago, the old man died of a heart attack. His son Jamie Zhou inherited this building and rented it to others to open a supermarket, but everyone ran to the opposite side."

Nate pointed in the direction of the entrance to Mercy Arena. This building was diagonally opposite the entrance.

"Last summer, the supermarket closed and has been vacant and has not been rented out. Mr. Chen, although this building has a history of more than 40 years, the main structure is still solid and the internal space is large. If you rent it and open a clinic, it will be very suitable."

With that said, he opened the door and took Chen Yu in for a visit.

The entire first floor has been opened up and looks very open. The second floor should be reserved for warehouses and office areas. It is also very spacious. As Nate said, although the house is old, it is still very stable.

"What about the rent?"

Nate said with a smile: "65 a year, you don't need to pay for the agency fees."

"Are you kidding?" Chen Yu was shocked. The entire building is 65 square feet, and the annual rent is 50. Doesn't the rent per square foot reach [-] US dollars?

If it were in New York, the price would be okay. Over on Fifth Avenue, it would easily cost two to three hundred dollars per square foot.

But this is Phoenix. Chen Yu finally understands why this building has not been rented out for half a year, and why the previous supermarket closed down. It is estimated that the income earned in a year is not enough to pay the rent.

"It's too expensive, far beyond my expectations."

The location is good, adjacent to the American West Arena, but the price is really unacceptable to Chen Yu.

If you cut it in half, it's still about the same.

When the time comes, we will renovate and buy equipment, not counting large-scale equipment such as nuclear magnetic resonance, which may cost millions of dollars in the early stage.

My current income is not low and I cannot afford such expenses.

Nate was not surprised at all, and complained: "This Jamie Zhou's asking price is quite high, but I can help you find other houses to ensure that you are satisfied."

Chen Yuxin said that you wanted to earn my agency fee, but he still nodded. He really didn't have time to look for a house.

Tell me your requirements.

In fact, the best thing is to find a poorly run clinic like Orlando did, and you can save a lot of money.

After first going to the hospital to see Hardaway, Chen Yu returned to the hotel to check out the training plan he requested from Nelson.

Once the contract is signed, the work has to be done.

There is a game tomorrow night at home against the Sonics.

Two days later, the SuperSonics will play again on the road.

In this away game, Chen Yu doesn't have to follow him.

Team doctors like Chen Yu generally do not follow the team to away games.

On those TVs, when a player is injured, the person who immediately rushes to check the situation is not the team doctor, but someone like Nelson.

The team doctor still focuses on treatment.

But now that Chen Yu is here, he wants to change things.

The next morning, Chen Yu went to the hospital first to check on Hardaway's condition.

He can't move his left knee at all now, but he can use acupuncture to stimulate the acupuncture points near the knee to enhance blood circulation and speed up recovery.

After acupuncture, Chen Yu rushed to the arena again.

In the morning, the team has scheduled training, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., two hours.

Normally, the team staff would rush to the arena at nine o'clock, but today Chen Yu notified them in advance and asked them to arrive an hour in advance. He wanted to have a meeting and get to know each other first.

"Sorry, I asked you to come here early."

Chen Yu pushed the door open with two trays of coffee.

There are a total of 6 people in the entire medical department.

He is the person in charge, and then there is Aaron Nelson. His position is the chief trainer and the team's sports physician. He is responsible for the team's daily training and rehabilitation training.

Massage therapist Byron Howard, in his thirties, looks young, but has thick muscles and should have a lot of strength in his hands.

Nutritionist Melissa Goodwin has long brown hair tied into a ponytail and looks very capable.There are only two trainers left. One is a black man with a well-proportioned figure who looks like a fitness guru named Greg Davis. He is mainly responsible for physical training.

The other one has soft blond hair, a standard fourth-quarter appearance, is young and handsome, and his name is Jon Hamm. He is responsible for training players' skills.

There was not much resistance to Chen Yu's arrival.

They only have a working relationship with Emerson, unlike Haston and Billings, who also have a master-disciple relationship.

Not to mention, Chen Yu also proved himself through Hill and Hardaway.

After distributing coffee, Chen Yu did not talk about work, but mainly chatted.

Chen Yu was not familiar with the three-point strategy of a new official, and everyone cooperated and worked hard to make the team better.

"By the way, Chen, I read news reports that you used a lot of acupuncture on Hill. How does this technique work?" While chatting, medical-related topics came up, and Nelson asked a question question.

Just as Chen Yu was about to answer this question, Byron Howard on the opposite side also asked a question: "I also read these news, and went to Chinatown to find a Chinese medicine clinic for consultation. He told me that there are many acupuncture points on the human body, and through stimulation Acupuncture points can achieve different therapeutic effects.”

"But then I had a question. For example, there are some acupuncture points on my leg that can have a therapeutic effect. So if my leg is broken or amputated, then these acupoints will be gone. How should I treat it? ?”

As soon as his question came out, several people present fell into thinking.

Chen Yu glanced at him. He didn't know if it was intentional, but it was obviously a bit of a show of defiance.

The reason is that no one understands this thing.

Even Chen Yu himself wouldn't understand these things if he didn't have a system.

"Byron is an interesting question."

Chen Yu pulled the whiteboard behind him, quickly drew a diagram of the human body structure, and then said: "According to the knowledge I have learned and understood, there are many acupuncture points on the human body. As you said, there are some acupuncture points on the legs that can activate It has a therapeutic effect, but similarly, other parts of the body, such as the hands, will have the same acupuncture points and play the same effect."

"And there are some specific areas of the human body, such as hands, feet, ears, and abdomen, which have reflex zones all over the body, which can all play a role. There is even a theory called treating upper-level diseases at the lower level, treating lower-level diseases at the upper level, and left-hand diseases. Treat the disease on the right and treat the disease on the left.”

Both "Lingshu" and "Suwen" have similar answers.

For example, "Su Wen" says that if the Qi is reversed, the disease is above, so take it from below; if the disease is from below, take it from above; if the disease is in the middle, take it from the side.

If your feet are gone, you can use acupuncture points on your hands for treatment.

Seeing that everyone was still confused, Chen Yu gave another example: "For example, Hill, he sprained his ankle, but when I gave him acupuncture, I took the lead in acupuncture on the Yangchi point on his hand. The reason is more complicated and related to the meridians. , I will explain it to you slowly when I have time."

The Yangchi point is located on the Shaoyang Triple Burner Meridian of the hand, and the Foot Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian on the ankle belongs to the same meridian.

"So during acupuncture, you can use your feet, or you can use acupoints on your hands. In this way, when your legs are gone, you can treat them with your hands. Of course, if your hands are gone, or even your body is gone. , then I feel it doesn’t make any difference whether it’s treated or not.”

Everyone was amused.

Byron also immediately gave Chen Yu a thumbs up, indicating that he had learned.

Chen Yu added: "Byron, by massaging the Yangchi point I just mentioned, you can greatly relieve the pain caused by acute ankle sprains, speed up the blood circulation of the ankle, and recover faster. I will sort it out later. A piece of information that you can study.”

"By the way, after the training is over, I will massage the players. Then I will teach you how to use acupoint massage to relieve pain after exercise."

Now that he is a team doctor, how could he miss this opportunity to gain experience?

"Okay BOSS." Byron nodded. He used the word BOSS unknowingly. It was obvious that he had recognized Chen Yu after the exchange just now.

Everyone looked at each other silently. At least for now, it seemed that Chen Yu was really capable.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Chen Yu called everyone to the training ground to prepare for today's training.

Chen Yu was not in a hurry to adjust his training plan.

Today is mainly about observation, observing the status of each player and observing the training plan.

Observe first, find problems, and then modify them according to your own ideas.

When we arrived at the training ground, some diligent players had already arrived early.

For example, the weird-looking Shawn Marion.

He was a rookie in 99 and was selected to the All-Rookie Second Team last season. After Danny Ani resigned and Scott Skiles took over as head coach, he was reused and has been the Suns' star this season. The team's starting small forward.

Chen Yu glanced at his body. He was as strong as a calf, and his two arms were really exaggeratedly long.

Just as he was thinking about it, Scales came over to talk to Chen Yu.

He is the head coach, and Chen Yu is the head of the medical department, and they need to work together.

Skiles' career as a player was not brilliant, but he did hold the record for assists in a single game, with 30 assists.

When we met for the first time, he couldn't tell much about his personality. He came up with a few polite words, and he first asked about Hardaway's situation.

"The operation was successful, and the next step is rehabilitation. I am very sure that next season, I can return you a penny of complete health." After discovering that the effect of the operation is so miraculous, Chen Yu is full of confidence in Hardaway's recovery. Full.

Scales had a smile on his face: "If that's the case, that would be great."

In the Western Conference, the Suns are a playoff-level team, but that's all. They have been unable to break through the first round.

Last year, they made it to the second round, but were swept out by the clean gentlemen of the Lakers.

On the team's side, they spent heavily on a 2000-strong backcourt, paying tens of millions in luxury taxes for two consecutive years. Jerry Colangelo is not a rich man, so he has record requirements.

He dragged Chen Yu to get to know the other members of the coaching staff.

He has four assistant coaches.

The chief assistant coach, Jim Boylan, is a middle-aged man with a bit of baldness and messy hair, but he talks with a sense of humor and should be an easy person to get along with.

Also normal.

When he was in Orlando, Chen Yu discovered that the head coach of a team did not communicate that much with the players. The person who had the most contact with the players was the chief assistant coach.

So you have to have a good personality and be good at communication.

Offensive coach Frank Johnson, a former point guard, is a black man with a mustache and a serious expression.

Tactical coach Phil Weber has thin lips, a tall body, and a graceful demeanor like a movie protagonist, and he is not very old.

Finally, Roger Reed, who is in his 50s and has gray temples, is responsible for video analysis.

After a simple exchange, Chen Yu sat on the sidelines and observed the team's training.

Kidd is here too.

He has high emotional intelligence and even took the initiative to come over and chat with Chen Yu for a few words and asked about Hardaway's situation.

Chen Yu didn't ask about his domestic violence.

It’s better not to ask about such private matters.

Under the leadership of Nelson, more than a dozen members of the team performed their duties and conducted training.

There are tactical joint training and individual training.

Each season, Nelson will develop a different training plan for each player based on Skiles' requirements.

For example, whoever wants to improve shooting and whoever wants to improve defense have their own considerations.

After looking at it for a long time, Chen Yu frowned.

The Suns, led by Skiles, also have very high training intensity.

Chen Yu thought for a moment.

The original head coach Ainge seemed to be a head coach who was good at defense. Skiles was his assistant. After taking over, he should have inherited the mantle and focused on defense.

As for practicing defense, extensive physical training is indispensable.

There is nothing wrong with this method in itself. If you want to achieve results, you will definitely not be able to do it without training.

But there are many old, weak, sick and disabled people in Taiyang's group.

Fully half of the players over the age of 30, like the main number two Mario Elie, are fully 38 years old!

However, there is nothing wrong with this veteran and he is in good health.

From a certain perspective, this is also a talent.

Just as he was thinking about it, Chris Dudley, the starting center who was also 36 years old, suddenly screamed and fell to the ground in pain while training together.

He was guarded by center Jack Tsakalidis, whom the Suns had just signed from Greece this year. The young man didn't understand the language. At this time, he was looking at Dudley with a confused face, a little frightened.

Nelson had rushed over like a firefighter putting out a fire.

The training was stopped and everyone gathered around.

Skiles' face was ugly, and he immediately looked at Chen Yu with a questioning look.

Chen Yu crossed his arms and didn't move much. He said casually: "It's okay, it's just cramps."

Nelson, who was squatting in front of Dudley, touched his hand and his face changed slightly.

It's really cramping.

He turned to look at Chen Yu, awesome!
