NBA, Yao Ming is back!

As soon as Yao Ming finished speaking, the locker room fell into a moment of stunned silence.

Wilt Chamberlain?

Even players who had only a superficial understanding of the NBA had heard of this name—he was a complete statistics monster in NBA history.

The miracles of scoring 100 points in a single game and averaging 50+25 points per game are there for all to see.

Who would dare to easily use him as a template?

Even if you were in the CBA, no one would dare to do that.

People might say Jordan's skills were overwhelming, Russell had rings on both hands, and Chamberlain lacked the championship gene...

But when it comes to statistics, if Lao Zhang stands there, no one in the entire league dares to say they can beat him.

Even Michael Jordan, the black-haired bastard, couldn't do it.

His data is groundbreaking, a terrifying existence that no one will be able to touch for decades to come.

This is especially true in today's CBA, where the statistics of various inside players are extremely close.

The numbers on the list are remarkably even, with very few even slightly outstanding ones.

For example, last season's regular season scoring champion, Hu Weidong, only scored 28 points.

It was followed by 26 points.

22 points.

Regarding the rebounding leaderboard...

Yu Leping ranks first with an average of 13 rebounds per game.

Secondly, Battier averages 12 per game.

Then only 9.9 remained.

It takes less than 10 rebounds to rank in the top 3.

However, this is because there are only 40 minutes left.

CBA联赛在1995年创立之初曾採用单节10分钟制，直至1998-1999赛季才改为NBA模式的12分钟。

Then, after 27 years, it will start to revert to international basketball practices and reconnect with the international basketball community.

It's the 96-97 season now, so we're still using the 40-minute format.

Not to mention achieving a crushing, overwhelming lead—that's unimaginable. To become the Chamberlain of the CBA, without a commanding lead in statistics, it's all just empty talk.

Looking at the assist leaderboard is even more pitiful; 4.4 assists is the number one assist.

On the contrary, his average blocks and steals are quite impressive.

They all averaged 3+ points per game.

He averaged nearly 4 blocks per game last year.

He averaged 3.8 blocks per game, dominating the entire court.

In other words, based on last season's data, you need at least 28 points to lead all three of these rankings.

He averages more than 13 rebounds per game.

He averages around 4 blocks per game.

There is no such data.

You can forget about taking the lead in every aspect.

If you want to become the Chamberlain of the CBA, simply leading on three lists isn't enough.

How can he be called Chamberlain?

Then you should at least be ahead in this data.

Otherwise, it would seem mismatched with the character's name.

CBA's Wilt Chamberlain.

That was Chamberlain.

It's not some cat or dog.

So when I heard Yao Ming say that at the beginning.

Few people could believe their ears.

Li Qiuping almost dropped the tactical board in her hand.

It fell to the ground with a "thud".

His eyes were wide open like big copper bells as he stared at Yao Ming, his mind churning with turmoil.

This child is usually not very talkative.

How dare you say such big things right off the bat?

Of course, the most important are NBA scouts.

Since they were willing to come, they must have a good impression of Yao Ming.

Although he didn't want Yao Ming to leave, since he had personally led the youth training team and then the professional team, he wouldn't stand in the way if Yao Ming had better opportunities.

Little Nelson was also stunned.

Having spent so many years in the NBA, he's seen plenty of incredibly arrogant young people.

Regarding this year's draft.

That Bryant, as soon as he entered the league, dared to say that he could beat Jordan one-on-one.

Allen Iverson, the number one draft pick, was prickly and defiant towards everyone. He wasn't surprised by the ambition of the young man.

But hearing these words from a Chinese teenager still made him pause for a moment.

In the past, most of the Asian players I've encountered have been cautious and polite.

He had never seen anyone as straightforward and daring as Yao Ming before.

But deep down he's American, and he admires ambitious young people like that.

What's wrong with being crazy?

As long as it can be delivered, arrogance is capital.

Of course, if it can't be fulfilled, then it's a joke.

It doesn't matter whether you're in the US or China.

it's the same.

So he quickly came to his senses, his eyes sharpened again, and he stared at Yao Ming as if trying to see through the boy.

Of course, given Yao Ming's acting skills across two lifetimes, he definitely wouldn't be able to see through it.

"very good."

Nelson's clear and powerful voice broke the silence of the locker room. He took a half step forward and delivered his promise, word by word: "I admire your confidence."

"Then Yao, I'll give you two promises."

"First, if you can truly become the Chamberlain of the CBA, I will immediately use all my resources and connections to recommend you to the NBA. Even if you don't win the CBA championship, I will still help you secure a tryout opportunity in the United States."

"Secondly, I want to set a standard. If we're going to be the Chamberlain of the CBA, it's not just empty talk. In terms of points, rebounds, and blocks, these three core inside statistics, you must have a significant lead in the league."

"I don't require you to make assists or steals. As long as you can leave all your opponents far behind in these three statistics, you've met the requirements."

He slightly raised his chin, his eyes filled with provocation and anticipation as he stared into Yao Ming's eyes, as if waiting for an answer that would surprise him.

"So, young man, are you ready to accept this agreement?"

As Nelson finished speaking...

The air in the locker room seemed to freeze, and all the Big Sharks players around held their breath.

His eyes were full of worry as he looked at Yao Ming.

They didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

Li Qiuping's heart tightened, and her brows furrowed tightly.

These conditions are extremely demanding.

To have a commanding lead in all three core statistics is something no other center in the CBA has ever achieved.

Even Wang Zhizhi, who was at the height of his popularity.

It's impossible to create such a large gap.

He was afraid that Yao Ming was too young and impetuous.

To agree to such a difficult-to-fulfill promise so readily.

This will only increase the pressure later.

Even sitting in a crowd, Yao Ming stood out from the crowd with his tall and straight figure.

There was no sign of panic or hesitation on his face; instead, he remained calm and looked up at Nelson.

Unhurriedly, he asked in a soft voice, "Okay, Mr. Niels, what are the specific criteria you used for this 'league-like' lead?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Nelson's eyes.

He then began to examine the boy in front of him with great interest.

If it were any other young player, faced with such stringent requirements, they would either show reluctance or impulsively agree.

But Yao Ming was able to clarify his standards first, a composure that far surpassed that of his peers.

Add to that the boldness and outspokenness he displayed earlier.

Perhaps compared to Wang Zhizhi's reserved nature.

That, on the contrary, left a deeper impression on him.

Seeing that Yao Ming asked such a direct question.

He didn't beat around the bush and stated his quantitative requirements: "It's very simple, Yao. Your average points, rebounds, and blocks must all be at least three points higher than the second-place player in the league."

"This is the dominant lead I've been aiming for."

hiss------

As soon as this standard was announced, the Sharks players next to him gasped in shock.

If you calculate it carefully, even by last season's standards, the minimum score would be around 30 points.

At least 15 rebounds.

The number of blocks must be more than 5.

In the current CBA, scoring over 20 points is considered top-tier for an inside player, and 10+ rebounds is top-tier for rim protection. Wang Zhizhi averaged nearly 4 blocks per game last season, which made life miserable for domestic inside players.

Yao Ming needs to block more than 5 shots per game on average, which is practically shutting down all of the opponent's layups.

Moreover, in everyone's eyes...

Yao Ming is not a pure scoring center, so averaging 30+ points per game is an extremely difficult task for him.

Everyone thought the request was outrageous and waited for Yao Ming to show reluctance or try to bargain.

After all, they were asking for an exorbitant price.

You can also pay back the money on the spot.

Yao Ming only thought for a moment, then muttered something under his breath.

The sound wasn't loud.

But the message was clearly heard by everyone present: "It's just that they're leading by more than three in each category..."

"That's not difficult at all."

The scene fell into a deathly silence.

Li Qiuping opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

The teammates around him were even more dumbfounded, their faces full of disbelief.

Even you, the previously composed Nelson, are nothing compared to him.

It was all because of this one sentence.

For a moment, my brain forgot how to say English words.

There's one more thing.

Yao Ming was thinking to himself:

The data I obtained previously.

That's much better than this.
