NBA, Yao Ming is back!

The news of Jiangsu's home defeat and Yao Ming's 100-point performance swept across all sports news in China overnight.

The People's Daily sports section, CCTV's evening sports news, Sports Weekly, Basketball Pioneer, and local evening newspapers in various provinces and cities all featured this game as their front-page headline.

The enormous title was incredibly glaring—

"A first in CBA history, Yao Ming scores 100 points in a single game, creating a legend."

"The arrival of the sixteen-year-old giant completely rewrites the league landscape."

"Battle of the Hundreds, Night of Godhood".

Yao Ming, The Great Shark.

Reports of all kinds flooded the media, filling the public's field of vision almost overnight.

This was further amplified by repeated replays on television news of the final dunk over Robinson, marking his perfect 100-point moment.

The newspaper included photos of the scene.

This topic instantly ignited a heated discussion in the country.

After all, we're not decades from now when entertainment is as developed as it is now.

If there's a topic, it can easily become a hot topic of discussion among the public.

It is not easily diverted.

No one could have imagined that in such a short period of development of basketball in China, a miracle like scoring 100 points in a single game—a feat that only exists in legends of top overseas leagues—would occur...

It will be born on the CBA court.

The creator is a local young player who is not yet seventeen years old.

Offline stadiums, streets and alleys, newspapers and television...

Everyone who talks about basketball is constantly mentioning Yao Ming's incredible 100-point performance.

You'd be embarrassed to admit you play basketball if you didn't tell them.

This game not only caused a stir within the basketball community, but even ordinary people who never follow professional leagues couldn't help but stop and discuss it after seeing the exaggerated scores and game footage in the news.

Everyone was curious about just how strong this young center who suddenly appeared out of nowhere was.

Even some laymen who only care about winning gold medals will say something out of the ordinary—

That's amazing, can they win a gold medal?

Take a look at the classics.

Even those who had never questioned the intensity of the CBA league before have started to say that the league's intensity must be too low.

First place is no problem, but if someone doesn't get this score, wouldn't that be even lower?

No matter how low it is, it's still the highest league in the country.

As for those self-proclaimed "neighborhood war gods" who think they can score a lot of points if they go up there, they've never been beaten up by any of the school team members.

Not to mention the youth training team members.

Only those who perform well in the youth training team have the opportunity to be registered as professional players.

It's unclear how many levels of quality they represent.

You can only truly feel the difference when you encounter it firsthand, the difference between what you see on TV and what you experience in real life...

They are completely different things.

The atmosphere at the post-match press conference in Jiangsu was particularly somber.

The entire Jiangsu team looked dejected, and Hu Weidong, who fought until the very last moment of the game, was filled with exhaustion and disappointment.

His muscles still ached from extreme exhaustion. His impressive 81-point performance would be a winning ace in any ordinary game, but compared to Yao Ming's 100 points...

In the end, it became nothing more than a supporting role.

And because of this loss in the game.

The agreement made before the game was that whoever won would get the MVP.

This also means that he missed out on the regular season MVP award.

Facing a group of reporters' cameras and microphones, Hu Weidong was quite manly, making no excuses, not mentioning his teammates' condition, nor saying that the foreign players had performed poorly.

He simply uttered words that shook the entire basketball world.

"The winner takes all, the loser has nothing to say."

"The regular season MVP should rightfully belong to Yao Ming. This is an indisputable result and his first well-deserved achievement."

Even after he finished speaking, he forced a smile and joked:

"I even think that, with his current strength and dominance, frankly, he shouldn't stay in the CBA anymore."

The moment those words were spoken, the entire audience of reporters erupted in uproar, pens flying across the paper and cameras clicking away incessantly.

Shouldn't they stay in the CBA? Then where should they go?

Faced with a barrage of questions, Hu Weidong did not elaborate further, but simply shook his head, unwilling to say more.

The reason is actually very simple, and everyone knows it perfectly well.

The regular season is just a prelude; the playoffs are the real ultimate test.

The Bayi Rockets, a long-standing powerhouse in Chinese basketball, boast a roster that is half the size of the national team. They are known for their tough defense and mature tactics, and even in the predecessor of the CBA, they were national league champions for many years.

At that time, it was an insurmountable mountain for all teams.

This period of dominance can be said to have lasted for decades.

You can see how terrifying they were by looking at history.

In Hu Weidong's eyes, Yao Ming's performance in the regular season was undoubtedly invincible, but only by withstanding the high intensity of the playoffs, breaking through layers of encirclement, and defeating the Bayi team head-on could he succeed.

Only then can one truly establish oneself as the number one player in the country.

After all, he wants to become the number one player in the basketball league.

Even in a league like the CBA.

They also need to go through the tests of the playoffs and the finals.

A number one player is not defined by a championship.

That's all I can say.

It is difficult to convince the public.

If he could remove the mountain that is Bayi, then the second half of what he didn't finish saying before would naturally be made public.

By that time, this stadium simply couldn't retain players of that caliber.

It's best to get out of here quickly.

Hu Weidong's statement quickly spread throughout the basketball community.

Many prominent figures in the industry, senior coaches, and veteran national team players have publicly expressed their views, sharing the same opinion as Hu Weidong.

Interestingly, none of them said where they should be if they weren't in the CBA.

It seems they all share the same idea.

The last half of the sentence.

We'll have to see how Yao Ming performs later on.

Once it's achieved, everyone will naturally say so.

If it can't be achieved, then it's just a joke.

A number of sports commentators also spoke frankly in newspapers and magazines, saying—

The current intensity, physicality, and overall player level of the CBA league are completely unable to keep up with Yao Ming's growth rate.

His dominance on the court was overwhelming, scoring 50 or 60 points in the regular season, and even 100 points in the last game. He dominated both offense and defense in the paint, and his opponents in the league simply couldn't find a way to effectively counter him.

It's a waste of his talent to stay in a lower-level league.

Discussions arose one after another, and more and more guesses about where they went, but no one could give a definite answer.

Everything will be clear after the playoffs end.

Meanwhile, the regular season has officially concluded, and the league has quickly reviewed all the season's statistics and honors.

A series of outrageous statistics have once again refreshed everyone's understanding.

Yao Ming was in hot form at the end of the season, consistently scoring 50 or 60 points in the last few games, including this crucial 100-point match against Jiangsu.

This directly boosted his personal average score, which ultimately settled at 48 points per game.

If it weren't for the fact that I didn't score enough points and had too little playing time in the previous games...

He's estimated to average 50 points per game.

Without a doubt, with this scoring ability, he will easily win the CBA scoring title this season.

Hu Weidong gave it his all, delivering an incredible 81-point performance in the final game. He fought tirelessly throughout the season, consistently averaging over 30 points per game, which would have made him a shoo-in for the scoring title in previous years.

However, compared to Yao Ming's incredible scoring efficiency, they still paled in comparison, and the gap was obvious.

If it were just about the top scorer, that would be fine.

The other projects are equally terrifying.

On the rebounding end, Yao Ming averaged 25 rebounds per game, covering the entire court with his positioning, rebounding, and backcourt protection, completely suppressing all the foreign and domestic centers in the paint.

Many times, the game is blown out early, and it becomes garbage time before the third quarter. He goes to the bench early to rest, but he can still put up such terrifying numbers.

If they play four more quarters, the rebounding numbers will only be more impressive.

Of course, Yao Ming was already averaging over 20 rebounds per game in the playoffs the year he left the CBA. Now, with his wingspan extended and his physical attributes further enhanced by the systematic training he received from a young age, he is even more formidable.

An average of 25 per game is simply because the games are played too quickly.

Rather than the limits of his abilities.

Besides rebounds and points.

They are leading the blocks list by a wide margin.

8.5 blocks per game!

This might be the most outrageous statistic besides the score.

Its overwhelming rim protection instills fear in all players who attempt to penetrate the paint and force a layup.

Wang Zhizhi, the league's original shot-blocking king, continues to shine this season, with his average shot-blocking stats ranking second in the league.

Even so, Yao Ming still managed to pull ahead by a huge margin of nearly six points, putting them on completely different levels.

Even Wang Zhizhi himself, upon seeing Yao Ming's average blocks per game, felt...

Compared to him, do I not know how to block shots?

If he were in Atlanta for this Olympics.

Will they underestimate those so-called NBA stars?

It was even worse.

You think that's the end? It's not over yet.

What's most unbelievable is his assist numbers.

In this era, the league's assist statistics were extremely strict.

Simple transitional passes are not counted; only key passes that result in a successful finish are counted.

Despite these stringent rules, Yao Ming managed to rack up an average of 6.5 assists per game by relying on his high-post playmaking, inside passing, and vision control!

He outperformed veteran top point guard Adijiang, who averaged only a few assists per game in comparison.

In other words, he conveniently took the title of assist king.

He is the scoring champion, rebounding champion, block champion, and assist champion, holding the title of leader in four core statistical categories, in addition to his steals, which consistently rank among the top in the league.

With success on both offense and defense, it achieved a truly comprehensive and dominant position.

In addition, his steals rank fifth in the league.

This is really true.

There are no problems with the data anymore.

Each one of them is an overwhelming force.

The eventual regular season MVP was also awarded for winning this challenge, along with a 100% score.

Without any suspense, he was ultimately elected.

Undisputed.

With such stats, even if Hu Weidong hadn't mentioned it before the game, the credit would probably have gone to Yao Ming.

Because this game has such a huge impact.

While it's important to take care of these veteran players, we can't go too far and cause public outrage, which is not what they want.

When this complete season data list is officially released.

The entire basketball world fell into complete silence.

MVP + Scoring Champion + Rebounding Champion + Blocking Champion + Assist Champion.

His average stats are 48 points, 25 rebounds, 8.5 assists, and 6.5 steals per game.

In addition, he averages more than two steals per game.

Omg.

The entire basketball world witnessed a moment.

An explosion of collective discussion.

In my memories of my previous life, there was a nationwide sensation caused by Yao Ming himself.

That was when he entered the NBA.

All right.

This is exactly the kind of rhythm Yao Ming wanted.

He never intended to stay here any longer; it would be a complete waste of time.

However, as a player, the goal is to break through in the professional league as quickly as possible, and even directly enter the NBA.

The best way is to completely dominate the league.

Just like what I did in my previous life.

So the regular season is already better than it was in the previous life.

The rest.

It's just the Bayi team now.
