NBA, Yao Ming is back!

My name is Yao Ming.

People in China call me the Little Giant, or the Moving Great Wall.

Those who are even closer to me like to call me Da Yao.

Life goes by very quickly; as Xiao Shenyang puts it, a day is over in the blink of an eye.

If you keep opening your eyes and never close them, a lifetime will pass by.

When I closed my eyes for the last time, thinking I would never open them again.

I opened my eyes again.

Hmm~?

I found myself in a familiar place...

Infancy.

That's right.

Although he couldn't speak yet, he had already realized something.

The faces of my parents, both familiar and unfamiliar.

I feel familiar with them because I've seen them for so many years. Yet, I feel strange because it's been a long time since I've seen them so young.

He quickly realized what was happening.

This is me.

I was reborn.

……

My birth made the newspapers immediately.

This is also evidence that the NBA believes it absolutely did not falsify its age.

10 jin 2 liang.

This is an astonishing weight.

In my memory, this should be the highest number of babies born in China right now.

However, at the time, this was more often seen as an amusing anecdote about the child of a basketball player.

Few people expected what this meant.

Once he finally reached the age where he could speak, Yao Ming spent a considerable amount of time learning to babble in order not to appear too exaggerated.

Even so.

Many people still boast about their intelligence.

At age 4, she was in the newspaper again.

The title is "Little Giant" at four years old and 1.3 meters tall.

At 4 years old, he was 1.3 meters tall and weighed 53 kilograms, which was considered "monster-level" in 1984.

While taking Yao Ming on the bus, his mother remarked, "My child is four years old."

The ticket seller said, "Who would believe that?"

"What kind of 4-year-old looks like that? Who are you trying to fool?"

"My child is 8 years old and isn't that tall yet!"

This is the reality of this era. If this were in later generations, we would definitely say—

Is this guy four years old?

Just as I remember, I enjoyed adult or near-adult treatment during my childhood.

A true childhood.

It's pitifully short.

Then came the familiar moment, a return to memories.

He woke up from his nap until his father handed him a basketball.

"Dad, I want to play basketball!"

Yao Ming called out, saying the same words as in his previous life.

There's nothing particularly special about it; it's just an ordinary sentence.

no doubt.

Father of a basketball player.

He agreed with a smile.

At that time, he thought Yao Ming simply wanted to learn basketball.

This was also captured by a reporter at the time and featured in the Xinmin Evening News as a photo accompanying the article.

Yao's father and his four-year-old son, both beaming with smiles, were playing basketball in the open space.

It caused quite a stir at the time; after all, there wasn't much entertainment back then, so this was something to see as a novelty.

And when they were three or four years old.

Yao Ming has a major problem to solve.

This was also his biggest regret in his previous life.

My left ear...I'm almost completely deaf.

This will make it difficult for him to hear commands during training.

Even worse, it can affect early coordination and strength.

Yao Ming may not have thought much of it back then, but after being exposed to NBA-level training, he realized that the impact was enormous.

This is auditory feedback deficiency.

Because of the natural physiological development patterns of children.

This ultimately led to a chain reaction of weak training foundation.

Later scientific research has long proven that auditory feedback is the core support for body coordination.

The development of motor coordination requires the synchronized coordination of hearing, vision, and proprioception; otherwise, one cannot clearly hear the commands.

They are unable to adjust their movement rhythm in a timely manner according to the coach's requirements, nor can they quickly receive feedback on movement corrections, making it difficult for correct technical movements to form muscle memory.

Their coordination is naturally worse than that of trainees of the same age.

Deafness in the left ear directly leads to the failure of auditory information reception during training, disrupting the multi-sensory coordination of motor learning and making it difficult to form correct movements.

In addition, the child's height was above average in childhood, and strength was still in the early stages of development, which ultimately manifested as "poor coordination and strength in early childhood".

The lack of multi-sensory coordination leads to poor stability in power output.

This disrupts the closed loop of "movement learning - immediate error correction - stable output" in strength training.

This resulted in his strength training being far less efficient than that of the normal team members.

All of this had a permanent impact on his later physical qualities, flexibility, the foundation of his early strength development, and his coordination development.

If we do it again...

This absolutely cannot be a problem.

This kind of regret must never happen again.

Although it is said that no one's life is without regrets.

But that's based on the premise that you only do it once.

If you go twice.

You certainly don't want these regrets to happen again.

Especially those that can be avoided.

Because... his problem was not congenital.

It is entirely due to acquired factors.

The medical conditions in the 80s meant that most cases of otitis media in children were very difficult to detect, and there was a general lack of awareness about diagnosis and treatment at the time.

This can easily lead to such a situation.

Otitis media, especially after tympanic membrane perforation, requires strict ear care, including waterproofing and preventing secondary infection.

However, in the 80s, ordinary families lacked professional care knowledge, and water could easily get into children's ears during daily play or bathing.

This leads to recurring inflammation, preventing the perforated eardrum from healing and ultimately damaging hearing.

In addition, I was a child at the time, and my communication with the doctor was not precise or detailed enough.

He later considered that there were two drugs most likely to cause sensitization and lead to hearing loss in his left ear:

One is penicillin.

One type is gentamicin, a type of streptomycin.

So when this event happens again...

She immediately became aware of the situation and insisted that her parents take her to the hospital, not a small clinic, but the best hospital in Shanghai at the time.

This time, he clearly described his physical condition.

The level of clarity shocked his parents.

Now is not the time to hide our talents.

Anyway, I've always shown that I'm a little smarter than others since I was a child.

At this time, it's important to consider your physical health and motor development.

It must be done.

He prompted me to undergo some allergy tests.

No medications that would harm the body were used.

They successfully averted this crisis.

For a period of time thereafter.

Yao Ming could clearly sense it.

This time, myself...

There are no problems with hearing in either ear.

Completely normal!

This kept him in a euphoric state for a whole week.

For the parents, because they have no memory of their previous life, they don't understand why they have to go to such a big hospital for such a small problem.

I don't understand why the child would cheer so excitedly after a small problem was cured.

But it's okay.

This is the first step in rebuilding your physical foundation.

Some deeply entrenched problems with enormous impact.

It must be removed.

Otherwise, we would be wasting the chance to do it again.

Moreover, since hearing is not impaired, one will no longer have the problems of poor innate coordination, weak strength perception, and insufficient visual and auditory coordination in proprioception during movement.

This might not mean much to ordinary people, but it is significant for someone who aspires to become a professional athlete.

And this applies to top professional athletes.

The degree of innate development is very important.

At least he can be certain about his life's coordination and power development.

A solid foundation can be laid in childhood.

at least.

Far better than the previous life.

Much more solid.

P.S.: Those who know me well know that I said when I wrote my first book that I was a fan of Yao Ming.

Actually, I had planned to start writing this book before I wrote about Su Shen's Rebirth.

Because I saw Su Shen's outstanding performance at the Olympics, and there was a lack of similar topics, I switched to track and field.

I've decided to write both of them together now, since I have some drafts saved up.

Don't wait any longer, don't let yourself hesitate.

So.

If you want to watch basketball, you can read this book.

If you want to watch track and field, you can go to the room next to mine and read the movie "Back to 1981".

then.

Just like the previous book by Su Shen.

Let Yao Ming be the one to help.

Let's reignite the flame here.
