"Yao, I really didn't expect you to call me at this time." Clamping the phone around his neck, Adrian smiled and said, "I saw on the news that you were injured. How about it? When can you get it?"
Comeback?"
"I don't know this yet, but the situation is not optimistic. You are right Ed, I should really take good care of my body." Although they were on the phone, Adrian could tell that Yao Ming was a little lonely.
Yao Ming's injury is definitely a huge blow to the Rockets. Before Yao Ming's injury, the Houston Rockets, who were on the right track, had just ushered in a 13-game winning streak. Seeing that the opportunity to surpass the Suns and sprint to second place in the Western Conference was just around the corner, Yao Ming
But at this moment, he fell down with a crash.
Especially what Yao Ming suffered this time was not a traumatic injury, but a stress fracture, which is extremely troublesome and is likely to leave sequelae and lead to secondary injuries. Generally speaking, when players suffer such injuries, they are basically
It was announced that he had only a few years left in his career, because his bones could no longer withstand the intense confrontation.
Yao Ming is only 27 years old this year. A 27-year-old athlete is already declared to be in the sunset of his career. How can this prevent Yao Ming from being hit hard? [
"Mr. Clanton recommended that I have surgery immediately so that I could still compete in the Olympics."
Adrian opened his mouth, but in the end he did not say anything to stop him. He knew that it would be unwise and unrealistic to prevent Yao Ming from giving up surgery in order to participate in the Olympic Games held in Beijing this summer. He will definitely try his best to win the Olympic Games this summer.
Participate, even if the risks of surgery are somewhat high.
"Okay. I'm indeed a little scared." After a while, Yao Ming said: "Since I entered NBA, I don't know how many operations I have had on my left foot. Moreover, Dr. Clanton also told me
, even if the operation is successful, it is impossible for me to recover as before, and if I get injured again, it will be completely over. If I choose conservative treatment..."
"If you choose conservative treatment, you don't know when you will be able to recover, and you don't know whether you can catch up with the Beijing Olympics, right?"
"Yes, that's it."
"Yao. From the perspective of a friend, I would like to advise you to choose conservative treatment. I think you also know that every operation is a huge harm to the body. Especially you...you have too many injuries.
You've had a lot of surgeries, big and small, in the past few years. And the risks of this surgery are not small... But after all, your body is your own, and I can't choose for you, but I think if you make up your mind,
If you are determined to have surgery, it is best not to make a hasty decision to start surgery." Adrian paused, he really wanted to help Yao Ming. If he can play in the league for a few more years, at least it will be good for Chinese football.
This is a great comfort to fans, and Yao Ming's premature retirement has always been something Adrian regretted in his previous life.
"Remember the research center I introduced to you? You can do more examinations. Find more experts and listen to opinions from all sides. Since you have decided to have surgery, you should do your best to reduce the risks of surgery.
To the lowest. Again, your body is your own after all. No one can be responsible for your body except yourself. Do you still remember the surgery that the Suns team doctor Carter performed on Hill? If possible,
Ask him for his opinion. He can handle it even if he is like Hill, maybe he is the most powerful doctor in NB."
That night, Adrian and Yao Ming discussed a lot about the surgery. After hanging up the phone, Adrian couldn't help but think deeply. Injury is indeed an athlete's biggest enemy. How many once-talented star players have
Being knocked down by injuries again and again and finally defeated, if nothing else, there is a ready-made example in the Magic team. Pat Garrity, who has been playing for the Magic for ten years, has been undergoing surgery for the seventh time this year.
Taiwan underwent knee surgery. Repeated knee injuries completely defeated this small forward who should have made a difference. Now he can only sit on the bench and serve as the leader of the Magic team's cheering team, playing a sparse role in the locker room.
.
There are countless examples from near and far, Brandon Roy, Andrew Bynum, Hardaway, Grant Hill, Chris Webber, Alonzo Mourning, Vince Carter... one by one
Stars that were supposed to shine brighter ended up dimming due to injuries or retiring at an early age.
Now, Yao Ming will probably follow this path, just like his idol, Sabonis, known as the "Aerial Architect", who was destroyed by injuries.
Adrian has always paid great attention to his own health. If he feels uncomfortable or occasionally feels pain in his body, he will not force it on like ordinary people, or handle it casually thinking that there is no big problem. He will do it very carefully.
After checking, if it is confirmed that he needs to rest, he will tell the head coach Phil Jackson as soon as possible when he is in Los Angeles, and Jackson will also let him rest or play as a substitute depending on the situation.
Out of distrust of the glorious record of Magic team doctor Mr. Gregg, Adrian has urged Ryan to find as many private doctors as possible who are proficient in sports injuries, or simply form a medical team.
Adrian also asked Ryan to try to contact the European Sports Research Center that Adrian mentioned before. Adrian hoped to control it through capital injection. After all, the brilliance of that Sports Research Center in the future was too bright.
The development and improvement of electrotherapy has allowed many players to return to the playing field after serious injuries that were considered impossible. Football, basketball, rugby. Even as an investment, it is a wise investment.
What's more, Adrian must be responsible for his own body to the maximum extent.
Adrian even wanted to poach the Suns' team doctor Carter. Unfortunately, although Adrian was willing to offer a high salary, Carter was unwilling to serve Adrian alone. Of course, the most important thing is that the Suns offered Carter a considerable salary.
The high salary and benefits make Carter not too eager to pursue money.
If poaching failed, Adrian had no choice but to give up.
Adrian doesn't want to become another genius who falls on the injury list. When he is born again, his goals are bigger than ever. He doesn't want to fall into the thorns of injuries before his goals are achieved. (To be completed.
