NBA, Yao Ming is back!

"Why is this child always active?"

"It's like it just won't stop."

"Could it be ADHD?"

Yao's mother watched as Yao Ming, who was only five or six years old, would run outside and go out for outdoor exercise at the drop of a hat.

Sometimes, when she played until very late before going home, she couldn't help but secretly follow her to check on her.

Find……

I didn't actually do anything bad; I was just exercising.

I started to feel relieved.

But then I thought, I've never seen a kid who loves sports so much.

It can't be some kind of ADHD that's popular in children these days, can it?

"What nonsense are you thinking? Maybe it's because we're both athletes, and our child has better athletic genes and talent."

"Naturally lively and active."

At this point, Yao's father said, "Besides, we've seen the child, and there's nothing wrong with him. We've also taken him to the hospital for a checkup. Aren't you reassured?"

"Yeah, I just think it's a bit too active."

"Our two children are a bit active, and the doctor said that's normal."

"Could it be that he has some kind of special ability?"

Supernatural abilities are all the rage these days.

This can be considered a trendy term in this era.

And in fact.

What they didn't know was...

Yao Ming is really...

This life possesses "special abilities".

Back in the year he was reborn.

He then noticed a panel-like prompt in front of him.

And only you can see it.

Having seen many storms, I know that those who are reborn may have extraordinary encounters, and this is indeed my own extraordinary gift package.

I only found out after clicking in.

Its name is...

Superstar Imitation System.

The item is quite simple, so simple that there's nothing there.

It only applies near the basketball court.

Then there is no more.

However, there was something he could click on: a virtual object that looked like a gift box in the panel.

I clicked on it and took a look.

Good guy.

Choose one of the basketball attributes or talents.

All of them are calculated based on the historical level of basketball players.

Choose one.

Strength, shooting, speed, jumping ability, flexibility...

It is clearly displayed before you.

Diverse and varied.

Actually, Yao Ming was quite interested in jumping ability at the time.

The reason is quite simple. It's just that his athletic ability wasn't good enough in his previous life.

Everyone has a special longing for things they don't have.

But he quickly regained control.

Instead of rushing to order, I pondered for a long time.

Wait until your mind is completely calm.

That's why I gave up on the bounce option that I really wanted to select.

It skipped to the next item.

It is called—

Physical fitness.

Why choose this?

The reason, of course, is...

This is the most versatile way to choose.

Physical fitness is the fundamental support for all competitive sports.

The core power of shooting, the speed of dribbling changes of direction, the accuracy of passing... everything you can think of on the basketball court.

Both require muscle strength and core stability to ensure performance.

A decline in physical fitness will directly lead to distorted movements and reduced technical performance.

Some people have excellent technique and beautiful movements when they are in good physical condition, but once the competition gets intense...

The technical movements immediately became distorted.

There is a physical component involved.

People like Hisashi Yamai, who lack physical abilities yet maintain their hand position and even become more accurate with each throw in his manga, are practically nonexistent in real life.

Secondly, the continuous application of technology relies on physical endurance.

Basketball is a round-robin competition. After a breakthrough, you need to quickly return to defense. After a shot, you need to immediately box out for the rebound. Without sufficient physical strength, you cannot connect with subsequent technical movements and fall into the passive state of "weakness in single movements".

I believe I am destined to become very tall in the future.

Tall players are easily dominated by some other players.

Especially when there's a shot put, the reason for the stomp is due to physical limitations.

When you have the energy, you can actually lower your center of gravity and move back and forth quickly.

This is something you can see clearly in your own career; when you have the energy, you can also keep your center of gravity very low.

It can also be attached very tightly.

However, when you lack physical strength, you can no longer lower your center of gravity.

The finishing move after the shuttle run also started to have problems.

This is what it means to fall into a passive state where one's actions become ineffective.

Then, competitiveness is the core attribute of basketball.

Physical fitness determines the right to speak in a contest.

As a professional player.

Especially professional center players.

Taking the initiative in physical confrontation is quite important, even crucial.

The core of positioning for rebounding, strong drives to the basket, and drawing fouls through penetration all rely on strength and strong body control.

Players with strong physical fitness are better able to maintain their balance during physical contact.

When there is sufficient supply.

It can force the opponent to back down.

Conversely, it is easily knocked away.

Losing offensive or defensive positions.

This was also evident throughout his career.

Especially when entering the fourth quarter.

Sudden power outages occur frequently.

Some balls that are easy to score, or balls that should be saved, will inexplicably fail to go into play.

The same applies to perimeter players, like his longtime partner McGrady. The reason he couldn't beat the Jazz in the NBA was because of his stamina in the fourth quarter, compared to Kobe, that monster who was his contemporary...

A world of difference.

By the fourth hour, they were not only fighting harder, but also maintaining a seamless online offense and defense.

By that time, McGrady already had stamina issues on offense, let alone defense.

Maintaining the momentum after a confrontation is crucial; without sufficient physical fitness, you simply can't match their intensity.

Because high-intensity competition quickly depletes physical strength, players with sufficient physical reserves can still complete actions such as shooting and passing after physical contact.

Those with insufficient physical strength may experience a disconnect in their movements due to the competition, resulting in direct mistakes or missed opportunities.

They will become especially sharp in the playoffs.

Of course, they also have the ability to steal points with fast breaks.

LeBron James, the fast-break scoring machine. How did he do it later in his career? He conserved his energy on defense, saving it all for offense.

My defense is nowhere to be seen, but my fast break is always there.

When you have sufficient physical strength.

Big guys can also charge in and launch fast breaks.

Without physical fitness, you can't unleash explosive speed.

It's difficult to participate in fast breaks.

Then the score will inevitably decrease.

In the future, there will be a young man named Wenban Yama.

That's very well done.

That's a typical example.

Therefore, as long as they have enough energy, big men can also launch fast breaks, even heavy centers, such as Shaquille O'Neal in his prime when he had plenty of energy.

It is also an outstanding one.

Back then, I was hampered by physical limitations, making it difficult for me to get a piece of this pie.

This prevents your data from contributing to an increase in the percentage of easy scores.

Finally...

Physical fitness determines the quality of defense.

Defense is the foundation of winning in basketball.

That's at least until the small-ball era truly arrives.

Sustained pressure from single-point defense.

This requires high-intensity physical fitness.

High-quality defense requires sustained physical contact, quick lateral movement, and timely jump blocks. Insufficient stamina will lead to sluggish defensive movements and an inability to effectively pressure offensive players.

This gives the opponent an easy opportunity to shoot and break through.

If you want to do better, become the team's defensive anchor.

That would require them to move around and reinforce defenses.

I am far inferior to Howard and Garnett in this aspect.

Although I am an expert at protecting the rim.

But he can't be the core of the defense.

Unable to build a defensive system with themselves as the defensive core.

Ultimately, it all comes down to a lack of physical fitness.

If you have enough physical strength, do you think you wouldn't want to move around and cover for others?

Are you unwilling to lower your profile and keep a close eye on your opponent?

Do you want to deliver a heavy blow when you're unwilling to switch defenses?

Not to mention the impact on physical fitness and adaptability to diverse tactics.

If you are physically fit enough, you can handle both positional warfare in your career and adapt to fast-paced running and shooting.

In a word.

Players with strong physical fitness can adapt to all tactics.

Players with poor physical fitness are limited to slow-paced tactics.

Its tactical value is greatly diminished.

This aspect of myself has always been a major weakness.

Unless there is a large-scale weight loss.

But when he joined the NBA, he obviously couldn't do that.

Because that was the prevailing trend in the NBA at the time, and there was a need to counter Shaquille O'Neal.

And the most important point is—

Reduce the risk of injury and illness.

This is a point that many people overlook.

Why do those athletic superstars rarely get injured before they truly grow old?

During my peak physical period, I was like an iron man, capable of both offense and defense, and I felt like I could complete a high-intensity 48-minute game.

And there are no injuries or illnesses.

This is mainly because...

When you have sufficient physical strength, your muscles and joints are effectively protected, making it less likely for you to suffer injuries such as strains and sprains during combat.

Insufficient physical fitness can lead to decreased muscle strength and poor body coordination, becoming a major contributing factor to injuries.

In severe cases, it can directly impact the length of one's career.

You can see that athletes who aren't physically fit have a very long career.

There may be isolated cases, but this is not the norm.

If one wants to, one should try to avoid injuries as much as possible and ensure sufficient physical fitness.

It is undoubtedly of paramount importance.

If you're not a professional basketball player, without calm analysis, you might easily choose jumping ability or speed, which are most closely related to athleticism.

But upon calm analysis, physical fitness is my biggest weakness.

This is also the point that most needs to be added.

If we can acquire historical-level physical fitness.

Needless to say, many things will be easily resolved.

And there's the most crucial point.

That is, if you have sufficient physical fitness, you can do higher intensity training volume, training plan, and training duration.

This is also why those physical prodigies can suddenly improve and undergo a qualitative change.

Yao Ming believes he is a hard-working person.

Even in the NBA, his hard work, diligence, and self-discipline are widely recognized.

However, his physical strength in his previous life was insufficient to support him to work harder.

This made his efforts have the opposite effect.

It's embarrassing.

Therefore, physical fitness is the optimal solution after his comprehensive analysis.

After making the choice, he was completely stunned.

A cold, robotic notification sound echoed in my mind—

Historic-level physical conditioning completed.

Wilt Chamberlain is the epitome of this style.

Optimal gift pack compatibility option bonus —

Peak Wilt Chamberlain template enhancement.

He possesses physical abilities surpassing those of Wilt Chamberlain at his peak.

Loading.

Loading complete.

The hint was simple, but for Yao Ming...

This template.

Absolutely.

That's absolutely amazing.

Who was Wilt Chamberlain?

Even if you haven't heard of his basketball legend, you should at least have heard of his urban legend.

Zhang 20,000 outside the venue.

He can still maintain playing time for a whole season, even far exceeding the monster's average of 48 minutes per game.

That is to say, except for 48 minutes.

He didn't leave the field even in overtime.

Moreover, basketball back then had a faster pace, more possessions, and more back-and-forth running.

This means that in the era of small ball, his physical abilities are virtually limitless.

Now, myself.

They surpassed Lao Zhang...?

This.

I'm even worried that there won't be enough basketballs on the court for me to play with.

If you don't train really hard...

I'm even afraid I won't be able to sleep.
