NBA, Yao Ming is back!

no doubt.

The Great Shark also defeated their second-round opponent, Shandong Fire Bull.

Even if Gong Xiaobin, the carefree king, had a brilliant performance.

They couldn't withstand Yao Ming's overwhelming momentum.

Don't be so sure, the current CBA doesn't really have any strong inside players.

Even if it exists.

Can I withstand my current state?

In the second round of the playoffs, the Shanghai Sharks faced off against the Shandong Fire Bulls, led by Gong Xiaobin. The Sharks dominated the entire series, ultimately sweeping their opponents 2-0 and advancing strongly to the finals.

Game 1: Shanghai Sharks 118-78 Shandong Fire Bulls

Game 2: Shanghai Sharks 112-65 Shandong Fire Bulls.

对比第二轮的41.5+18.5+9+9.5+2。

Even more terrifying.

第一场：姚铭狂砍51分21篮板8盖帽7助攻2抢断，内线彻底碾压巩晓彬领衔的山东内线，攻防两端完全统治，半场就奠定20+分领先优势。

Game 2: Yao Ming easily scored 48 points, 20 rebounds, 8 blocks, 7 assists and 2 steals, playing three quarters and finishing his shift. The Shandong team had no chance to fight back and was completely overwhelmed.

Despite Gong Xiaobin's all-out effort, the team's overall strength was far inferior, and he was unable to contain Yao Ming, ultimately suffering a crushing defeat.

After sweeping Shandong Fire Bulls and advancing strongly into the finals, Gong Xiaobin was unusually calm in the locker room after the game, with a towel wrapped around his shoulders and his face still flushed from the battle.

He is the kind of person who doesn't easily show his emotions.

Otherwise, Faye Wong wouldn't have said that he looks carefree and expressionless, but in reality, he's very tough inside.

He had just battled Yao Ming under the basket for four quarters, being repeatedly crushed by Yao's 2.26-meter frame and his mind went blank from being blocked by Yao's towering blocks.

Looking at the young figure on the sidelines, still laughing and joking with his teammates, there was no resentment in his eyes, only genuine shock.

Moreover, he has been a member of the national team for many years.

The current development of the league is far from meeting his expectations for the national team.

After all, we now have a national system.

The national team is the ultimate symbol in the hearts of their generation.

If a center like that could join the team.

His thoughts are somewhat similar to Hu Weidong's.

The granularity immediately aligned.

When surrounded by reporters, Gong Xiaobin didn't mince words and directly pointed out the core difference in the series.

"Before, I thought that beating Bayi in the regular season was just luck, because Bayi in the playoffs was really strong. But now I understand that the only one who can really go toe-to-toe with Bayi in the playoffs is Shaq, and that young man."

"Our team can't do it."

These words echoed those of Hu Weidong, yet carried a deeper, more genuine sentiment from those on the inside.

He then talked about his direct matchup against Yao Ming, his tone full of helplessness yet also admiration for the younger player.

"I've played basketball for so many years and seen a lot of big men, from Wang Zhizhi to various foreign players, but I've never seen one like this before."

"I thought I could hold my own and compete with him in the paint, but when we actually faced each other, I realized we were not even on the same level."

"You might not believe it, but despite my nickname 'The Carefree King,' his footwork is even better than mine."

"He can rebound over me, shoot over me, block my shots over me. I put all my strength into guarding him, and he's like nothing happened, just turns around and continues to score. This kind of physical talent, this kind of dominance, if he's only 16 years old, then I think he's a true genius. What experience can you talk to me about at this age? This is the difference that comes from birth."

"He's the best Chinese basketball player I've ever met."

"The most talented one."

"I knew he was a monster when he played against me during the regular season, but he became even more formidable in the playoffs. The more intense the competition became, the more excited he got and the more he was able to unleash his full potential."

"In that case, my last doubts are gone."

When interviewed by reporters, Gong Xiaobin seemed to have let go of his remaining frustration, and what remained was his longing for the national team and his fascination with how the Bayi team would deal with trouble... watching the show.

"Only the Bayi team can compete with them on the same level in this league. These two teams are currently far beyond the level of the entire league."

"I'll definitely go see it in person. Lao Hu and I have already made plans to go and see if the new generation will swallow up the old guard, or if these old guys can withstand the onslaught of the new generation and teach them a lesson."

"Anyway, it doesn't matter."

Finally, he gave Hu Weidong almost the same evaluation, but with a more straightforward, insider's touch.

"This Yao Ming, number 15, isn't a CBA player; he belongs to the Asian, even the world, level. His current ability has already surpassed the scope of this league."

"But they used to have to get past the Bayi team, and they only managed to get past the Bayi team in the finals."

"Only then can one be considered to have truly become the number one person of this era."

"At that time, we thought he was no longer at the level of the world stage."

"What level does that belong to?" a reporter immediately asked.

"What other level could it be? There's only one level left in the world competition."

Gong Xiaobin didn't say it directly, but his words actually pointed out the current stratification of basketball.

Taking Asia as an example, above the national level, there are also continental levels, even if you are at the Asian level.

Because Asia's basketball level is generally weaker than the rest of the world, there are still world-class teams above it.

However, the "world-class" level referred to here is not the kind of world-class that everyone thinks of as the strongest. It refers to the International Basketball Federation (FIBA).

In other words, the level of performance in FIBA ​​competitions.

But this is not the limit. Even if you dominate international basketball, there is still a level above you.

That's NBA level now.

After all, the Dream Team I and Dream Team II had just swept across the international basketball arena.

Their fame is widespread, so this ranking is quite reasonable.

But he still didn't say it directly, because he also felt that you needed to defeat the Bayi team.

We need to defeat this opponent who is on par with our team.

Otherwise, they'll fight their own teams.

It's nothing.

At most, he's just good at playing in Europe.

Because he knew it very well.

Or perhaps the older generation of stars all know this.

A player's performance in the CBA would likely be less impressive if applied to the NBA.

In fact, that's the case; usually, it's perfectly normal to cut it in half.

It could even cut right off their necks.

This will allow you to keep only one-third of the data.

Moreover, this data requires you to have a very good data level. If you are already at a level of 20 points or less, you might have been directly cut off from your head in the past.

There wasn't a single bit left.

First, you need to have a superb data level before you have any room to be cut.

In fact, it's pretty much the same. For example, Yao Ming's stats in the CBA were probably cut by about two-thirds when he went to the NBA.

One-third remains.

So you can see what level of performance the finals will produce.

That would allow us to determine that he's going to the NBA.

How will things develop?

We are all professional players.

I know it perfectly well.

So whether it's him or Hu Weidong, they don't just want to see the Bayi team face the challenge of this super rookie.

Another reason is that I want to see this super rookie.

What kind of performance will you have when facing opponents of similar strength in the finals?

This is used to make a judgment.

He entered the NBA.

There was roughly some initial development.

Under these circumstances, the Bayi Rockets and the Shanghai Sharks...

They officially met in the finals.

Moreover, at that time, all three games were best-of-two.

It won't be until next year that the finals will be a best-of-five series.

Therefore, now all that's needed is to win two games.

That would allow them to win the championship.

At this point, not only him, but also Nelson had already reported to David Turner.

As long as we win the finals.

I immediately recommended him.

Heading to Nike's three training camps this year.

That's actually true.

If you understand the process involved.

Then you'll understand what it means.

The goal is to give Yao Ming...

Enter the NBA.

It's time to offer a door opener.

A 17-year-old international player?

……

if you can.

That's quite a gimmick.

After all, these past two years.

A genius high school student.

This is already a trending topic that naturally attracts attention.

But these are all gifted high school students in the United States.

What if we introduce an internationally gifted high school student?

It's sure to be eye-catching.

Yao.

Little Nelson looked at the youthful photo of Yao Ming on the newspaper page.

He said softly:

Could this person be you?
