NBA, Yao Ming is back!

The other trajectories remained largely unchanged.

He entered a sports school very early on.

First, his parents initially disagreed, but were persuaded to agree. At this point, Yao Ming was different from his previous self; he proactively stood up to fight for his own interests.

There is only one condition—

Make sure you get enough protein.

Of course, he wouldn't say that; he would only provide a specific list of food items.

In those days, eggs were still the main food source.

Because there wasn't much food available to eat in that era.

Deep-sea fish oil and similar products are not easy to obtain. However, at Yao Ming's request, we will try our best to get them for him if possible.

It was just a little food.

Moreover, eggs are the main food source.

Although it was unclear why he ate so many, he simply stated that he had loved eggs since childhood. There was nothing more to say; it was impossible to reject this promising talent just because of a few eggs.

And so, by the age of 13, his height had already exceeded two meters.

This already surprised Yao Ming.

Very simple.

Because in his original timeline, he was only about 1.9 meters tall at this point.

It's less than two meters.

At the age of 15, he officially joined the Shanghai Sharks youth team.

The CBA was established that year.

That's not the key point. The key point is that his height has already reached 2.20 meters.

Omg.

Yao Ming himself remembers his height at that time, which was only 2.10 meters.

How did it get so much taller?

Although through diligent training since childhood, he has developed his physical coordination and strength to near perfection.

After all, he has had the NBA training model and methods in his mind since he was a child.

Unlike others, you don't need to grow wildly in the early stages.

In addition, there's an energy bar that surpasses even peak Chamberlain's.

The recovery is simply amazing, and the quality of the training is incredible.

This makes him a terrifying figure in this era.

The scariest thing is that, because of the conscious training, the conscious eating, and the conscious recovery from a young age...

I also planned my own NBA training program along the way.

Adjust your condition according to the intensity of each age group.

Ultimately, no one in the country understands training better than him.

And at this time, Yao Ming's wingspan...

It has reached 2.25 meters.

He has already reached the arm span of his previous life.

Moreover, he is only 15 years old now, and based on his arm span, he can generally develop until around 18 years old.

Heavens above!

He believed he was finally able to have a wingspan greater than his own height.

At this time, Li Qiuping had been promoted to head coach of the Eastern Sharks.

It was Coach Li who personally selected him for the youth team.

Just like the trajectory of history.

In 1996.

Yao Ming is 2.26 meters tall.

I received the transfer order.

Li Qiuping.

It is recommended that he be added to the official CBA roster of the Shanghai Sharks.

It's impossible for it not to fall off.

It is said that the athletes from the youth team pleaded with Li Qiuping to transfer Yao Ming away as soon as possible.

Who can handle him?

Tall and strong.

He is much stronger than his peers in this era.

Moreover, this is to enhance coordination and increase their presence on the field.

From a young age, Yao Ming asked his father to deliberately teach him Sanda, boxing, and other fighting techniques.

Because he knew very well that once you entered a sports school, you were likely to be bullied, but if you could fight...

Soon, this place will no longer be hell.

It is heaven.

You are God.

I don't need to be able to beat professional athletes, just be able to beat those basketball players.

Therefore, we need to deal with these untrained youth team members.

It's easy to clean up any mess.

They beat him until he cried for his parents.

Around this time, an anime called Slam Dunk also became popular.

Yao Ming is incredibly skilled in this game.

Furthermore, due to his extremely protective nature, he gave a severe beating to any youth team members who came to provoke him.

His prestige exploded.

He's known as the "Little Iron Man" of the Big Sharks Youth Team.

So it's not just because Yao Ming has already defeated the other youth team players both on and off the basketball court.

Furthermore, his strength far surpasses that of these people.

Staying here is a complete waste.

There's not much else for him to practice.

The decision was made immediately.

He was recruited directly from the youth team to the official CBA team.

Originally, it would have been a year later, just to be put on the list, but this time, once it's on the list, we can get started.

There's no need to wait at all.

Liu Wei, who was his closest friend before leaving and had been transferred to the youth team at the same time, said with a smile:

"Hurry up and come here, Wei. If you're a year late, I'll be the team leader by then. What will we do then?"

"Don't give me that nonsense! I'll be joining the official team soon!"

"You'll miss me terribly when I don't pass the ball to you!"

In this timeline, Liu Wei, due to his close relationship with Yao Ming, naturally received additional development resources, training methods, and technology.

Judging from this, let's not talk about anything else.

First, his height.

It will definitely be higher than the original timeline.

"Okay, okay, come on over there."

"When you come, I'll protect you like an older brother."

"What do you mean, 'big brother'? I'm actually half a year older than you!"

The two young people had a little argument.

They watched as Yao Ming joined the first team.

I originally thought that joining the team would mean sitting on the bench for at least half a year.

Because that's how it has always been.

Almost all young athletes who join the first team spend a relatively long time on the bench.

You should study hard in your first year.

Watch the game carefully.

But sometimes opportunities come just like that.

Yao Ming didn't even need to think about it before taking the initiative to play.

The opportunity has arrived.

On November 27, 1996, the opening game of the second season of the CBA officially kicked off, with the Shanghai Sharks playing at home.

They were facing the defending champion Bayi Rockets, whose strength overwhelmed the entire league.

Back then, the Shanghai Sharks were an absolute underdog in the league, with a green roster and a lack of experience. Facing the Bayi Rockets, who had a host of national team players and a tough playing style, they were completely on the back foot from the start of the game.

They were completely suppressed by their opponent on both offense and defense.

The point difference gradually widened, and by halftime, it had already increased to over 20 points.

By the middle of the second half, the point difference had widened significantly, with the team trailing by 30 points.

The Sharks' key players were demoralized, their offensive and defensive rhythms were completely lost, and the outcome of the game was no longer in doubt.

It was a situation where they were completely outmatched by the Bayi team.

On the sidelines, Sharks head coach Li Qiuping frowned, looking at the players' dejected state on the court, feeling helpless and at a loss for what to do.

The disparity in strength was already significant, and even with their main players giving their all, they couldn't withstand Bayi's offensive, resulting in a huge point difference.

Keeping the key players on the field not only makes a comeback impossible, but also increases the risk of injury.

Moreover, the main players themselves don't want to play anymore.

Low morale.

At the far end of the Shanghai Sharks' bench, 16-year-old Yao Ming sat quietly, a stark contrast to the somber atmosphere around him.

That year, he had already broken his original growth trajectory. Thanks to the blessing of rebirth, his height had soared to 2.26 meters, and his wingspan had reached an astonishing 2.33 meters.

Far beyond the average person.

From a young age, he had the top NBA training methods and models etched in his mind. Relying on this unique understanding, he honed his skills and honed his body day after day in a scientific and extreme way. Coupled with the incredible physical talent that he fully realized after his rebirth, his physical reserves even surpassed those of Wilt Chamberlain at his peak.

His physique, technique, and physical fitness have long surpassed those of players of the same age.

This also far exceeds the average level of the CBA league this season.

Although he is only 16 years old.

But he had already made preparations.

Taking advantage of a timeout during a dead ball situation, Yao Ming suddenly stood up, walked straight to Li Qiuping's side, and spoke with a firm and steady tone, without the slightest fear:

"Coach Li, let me play."

Li Qiuping was stunned for a moment, looking at the young man in front of her whose figure already stood out from the crowd.

He knew Yao Ming's talent, and he was also aware of the boy's hard work and exceptional training methods, but after all, he was only 16 years old...

They should still be honing their skills in the youth team.

He has never played a single official professional league match.

They were facing the formidable defending champions, the Bayi team.

No coach would dare to make this decision lightly.

They were afraid the blow would be too great and ruin their child.

Create shadows.

But looking back at the field, the key players had lost all fighting spirit, the game had long since become garbage time, the point difference was far ahead, and the outcome was already decided.

Li Qiuping sighed, her gaze sweeping over the dejected players on the field, then looking at the determined look in Yao Ming's eyes, and finally nodded: "Alright, it's like this now anyway, you go up and give it a try, just play freely."

Upon receiving permission, Yao Ming's eyes lit up instantly. He quickly walked to the sidelines and made simple preparations to go on the court.

His eyes were fixed on the familiar home court floor before him.

This was his first official professional match.

It was the starting point of his rebirth in basketball.

It was also his first step towards a higher arena.

Finally, the referee signaled for a substitution.

Yao Ming strode onto the field he had longed for.

The spotlight fell on his tall figure, and all eyes in the room instantly focused on this 16-year-old boy.

His professional basketball journey.

finally come.

See it.

Me in this lifetime.

inevitable.

We can do better.

We can definitely do better.
