It was rare to come out and relax once, and the three of them were very happy to order a full steak for 8 people at the steakhouse. Francis and Yao Ming each asked for three copies, and Hu Qingniu could only ask for two copies.

The Texas steak is indeed delicious and tender, and the black pepper seasoning, which is a specialty of the Americas, is even more mouth-watering.

I've eaten and eaten, and it's time to get down to business.

"It just so happens that Steve is also there, and I have some important things to say to Yao."

Both Francis and Yao Ming put down their knives and forks and looked at Hu Qingniu.

Hu Qingniu said slowly: "As far as I know, Da Yao has a history of injury to his left foot."

Hu Qingniu looked at Yao Ming, and he nodded lightly.

In March 1997, Yao Ming represented the Shanghai Oriental Youth Team in the Guangdong Invitational Tournament, and Ouyang Guijing stepped on Yao Ming's foot, causing a fracture of his left ankle at that time.

In a match in 1999, Yao Ming injured his left ankle again, and this time someone else stepped on Yao Ming's foot in the game.

These two injuries left a hidden danger for Yao Ming's career early. Not surprisingly, Yao Ming will be plagued by a left foot injury many times in the future.

In 2004, Yao Mingkai was found to have bone spurs in his foot. At this time, Yao Ming had been undergoing conservative treatment and medication control, during which he had several severe episodes of swelling.

In mid-June 2005, Yao Ming underwent a scan of his ankle bones and found that the bone spur injury was more serious than the doctor had imagined, so he decided to have surgery immediately.

On June 18, 2005, Yao Ming underwent surgery to remove a bone spur from his left ankle in San Francisco. Yao Ming underwent surgery to remove the bone spur from his left ankle at the Fremond Rehabilitation Center on the outskirts of San Francisco, performed by Yao's personal doctor, Arthur Ding, a Chinese-American. This is also the first time in Yao Ming's life that he has been pushed onto the operating table.

2006.4.11 Left foot metatarsal bone fracture, Yao Ming was injured in the game against the Jazz team to fight for rebounds, after the game diagnosed as the fifth metatarsal bone fracture of the left foot. After surgery, a steel nail was implanted in Yao's injured left foot to help the bone recover, and Yao missed the rest of the season.

On February 26, 2008, the 28-year-old Yao Ming held an impromptu press conference and announced that he would miss the rest of the season due to a fractured left foot. Yao Ming's left foot will need surgery, and the Rocket team doctor said that if he does not have surgery and just rest, then it may take four months to recover, and the recovery period for surgery is between three and four months. Left ankle bone fracture (stress fracture) is a bone injury caused by overuse, when the muscles are overused and fatigued, they cannot absorb the vibrations caused by repeated collisions in time, and the stress is transmitted to the bones, which can cause small bone cracks or fractures. Stress fractures occur in weight-bearing parts of the body, such as the tibia and fibula of the lower leg and the foot (calcaneus, navicoids, metatarsals).

On May 10, 2009, Beijing time, NBA official news, Yao Ming underwent a CT scan of the injured left foot today, and the result was diagnosed as a fractured left foot, and the rest of the season will be reimbursed, and he will not be able to participate in the fourth game between the Rockets and the Lakers and the rest of the playoffs, let alone lead the Chinese team to participate in the Asian Championships.

On November 11, 2010, the Rockets VS Wizards Chinese derby, Yao Ming was knocked down by McGee in the first quarter and injured, the Rockets announced that Yao Ming would miss at least a week with a sprained left ankle, and on December 18, the Rockets updated Yao Ming's injury: left ankle stress fracture, officially announced the reimbursement of the 2010-11 season; On January 7, Yao Ming underwent surgery on his left ankle, and the recovery time will take 7-10 months.

Yao Ming's injury history is actually a history of injury to his left foot, whether it is weight gain in the later stage or left foot injury in the early stage, it is the antecedent of his early retirement.

"Da Yao, all big men are prone to foot injuries, just like O'Neal's toe injury, and you will be no exception. This is because your height and weight are almost the limits of human beings, and your feet are extremely vulnerable to injury due to the constant pressure on you. ”

Yao Ming's expression tightened, this is related to his sports career, and he has to pay attention to it: "Brother Hu, is there any way to avoid it?" ”

"That's why I have to come to you for this dinner." Hu Qingniu smiled easily, his eyes were bright, and it was time to pretend to be forced again.

"First of all, you already have an injury in your left foot and I need to do a full check-up for you. Hopefully, the next time you're a guest in Washington, you'll have time. “

"No problem, Brother Hu, thank you. I've heard that you saved Michael Jordan's knee injury, and your surgical skills are amazing. "If he is good at others, Yao Ming naturally wants to praise Hu Qingniu, not to mention that it is a well-known fact.

"Da Yao, Xie doesn't need to be said, you call me brother, can I still not cover you. Again, most importantly, you can't gain weight anymore for the reason mentioned above, you have a hidden risk of injuries to your feet, and gaining weight will bring frequent injuries. Hu Qingniu said solemnly.

“Why?” Francis asked suspiciously, "If you don't gain weight, Yao won't be able to survive in the Alliance." He's almost 80 pounds lighter than O'Neal now, and that low-post matchup is crushing. ”

"Steve, take it easy. Have you watched the Wizards' game against the Lakers? I put Jeffries on the court, and I used Jeffries's fast movement and shooting range as far as the three-point line to form an explosion with O'Neal. “

"It's just a game, it doesn't mean everything." Francis is in an NBA league where the team is obsessed with low-post monsters, and he doesn't understand how to keep Yao Ming from gaining weight. Yao Ming can only become O'Neal of the Rockets after gaining weight, the low-post monster who rules the league.

"Hey, Steve, let's talk about why in the peak of Karl Malone, O'Neal never crossed him, and was easily defeated 4:0 and 4:1 for two consecutive years."

Francis shook his head, "I don't know what that represents. “

"The Jazz were able to easily defeat the Lakers back then, relying on Karl Malone to easily restrain O'Neal. O'Neal weighs too much and is always blasted on the defensive end by Karl Malone, who is accurate in the mid-range. Otherwise, why is it that the Lakers have a better team configuration, but they were almost swept by the Jazz twice in a row. After Karl Malone grew old, the Lakers, who rushed out of the West, won three consecutive championships to establish a dynasty, which also proved that the Lakers were only subject to the Jazz. “

This remark made Francis ponder, if the first example was luck, then the example of Karl Malone is real, O'Neal does suffer when defending a player with projection ability.

"Let me talk about Da Yao's situation, you can't gain weight, there are two more reasons. First, you don't have enough stamina to last a long season, especially after gaining weight. Second, your technical characteristics are clear enough now, a big center with excellent footwork and a mid-range shot of 2.26 meters, at least on the offensive end, you are good enough. Defensively, foot movement is your strength, and as O'Neal ages, there will be no more strong heavy centers. Boost your physique a little, and your weight will be enough for the NBA. “

"Brother Hu, although what you said is very reasonable, it is different from other people's ideas."

"I'm a professional doctor, so my perspective is different from that of an athletic coach."

"Okay, I'll try to be careful and not gain too much weight, but I'll still carry out the Rockets' plan for now."

Hu Qingniu knew that he could help this, so he could only eat the steak silently, in other words, this Texas steak is really good, beautiful.
