NBA, Yao Ming is back!

Soon, the Bayi team learned firsthand what it was like to be without Wang Zhizhi.

Without the team's only interior pillar capable of physically stretching and matching Yao Ming's size, Bayi's interior defense collapsed.

Yao Ming moved freely around the three-second zone.

With no one able to restrain him, he moved with impunity.

This may sound exaggerated, but it reflects the current reality of the CBA league.

There is already a shortage of high-quality centers in China, and players who can match Wang Zhizhi's height, mobility, and physicality are even rarer.

The Bayi team does not bring in foreign players, and its interior rotation reserves are extremely thin.

With Wang Zhizhi fouling out, Bayi's interior defense was completely open, leaving no room for defense.

In just a few rounds, the situation on the field visibly reversed.

The Bayi team, which originally held a lead, was tied by Yao Ming's continuous strong attacks.

The scoreboard numbers are now set at 55 to 55.

draw.

On the sidelines, Bayi head coach Wang Fei looked serious, his brows furrowed with anxiety.

He has been involved in the domestic basketball scene for many years, coaching military teams and witnessing countless adversity and close games.

But the scene before me, where a single person single-handedly tore through the defenses and turned the tide of the battle...

He had never encountered it before.

He saw clearly.

The current trend is gradually beginning to shift.

Moreover, they are turning towards the Shanghai Sharks.

Once Yao Ming gets his comeback momentum going, the rest of the Shanghai players will inevitably follow suit and start attacking with more freedom.

Playing with the wind at your back has always been the rhythm that the Shanghai Sharks players excel at.

This is something Faye Wong absolutely cannot allow to happen.

Beside the bench, Faye Wong gritted her teeth and made a bold and crazy decision.

This decision is unprecedented in the entire history of the CBA league.

He raised his hand to make a substitution, and substitute center Zhang Tao came on.

At the same time, he was yelling from the sidelines, giving out coaching instructions.

Liu Yudong, Zhang Jingsong, and Zhang Tao surrounded and double-teamed Yao Ming the entire time.

His tactical instructions were just given—

Regardless of consumption!

No fouls allowed!

They'd even go to any lengths to restrict this Shanghai No. 15!

We must stop him!!!

Three top domestic players were deployed simultaneously to defend against a single player.

What kind of treatment is this?

Looking back at the past few years in the CBA, even the exceptionally talented and physically imposing Battier has never enjoyed this level of defense where three players specifically surround him.

But ironically, the person enjoying this exceptionally high level of defensive treatment at this moment is Yao Ming.

Unfortunately……

This unprecedented three-person encirclement tactic was doomed to fail from the start.

Are they going to gang up on each other?

Ha ha.

Yao Ming's gaze remained largely unchanged as he glanced at the three defensive players standing in front of him, whose faces were grave.

Instead, he smiled.

His smile, instead of making him nervous, made the three defenders nervous.

Three people were defending him, and it was three of our Bayi team players defending him, yet he could still laugh.

Damn it, I have to increase the intensity of this!

But as their movements became more aggressive, Yao Ming not only didn't panic, but instead raised his hand to signal his teammates to pass the ball in a high-profile manner.

If it were any other big man in the league, being double-teamed by three players, their first instinct would be to avoid contact and quickly pass the ball.

The pressure from multiple players surrounding a player is enough to disrupt the mindset and actions of most players.

This is a common problem among players in the league, and it is also a recognized Achilles' heel for interior players.

Within the confined penalty area, multiple players are entangled, making it significantly more difficult to receive the ball and increasing the risk of mistakes.

But that was in the past, and it was just an ordinary league.

In the CBA, if someone's physical talent reaches the level of a behemoth like Yao Ming, all conventional defensive strategies will fail.

His lower body is rock-solid, and his core strength surpasses that of all domestic players in the same position.

You can securely hold any position you want.

Even with two people blocking his way, he was still able to use his terrifying back strength to force his way through the space and secure a comfortable spot to receive the ball.

Moreover, from the very beginning of the match, the referees for both teams were extremely lenient in their officiating.

Physical contact, close pulling, and subtle resistance were all basically tacitly approved.

Since the Bayi team took the initiative to raise the level of competition from the beginning, Yao Ming naturally wouldn't hold back.

He did not back down in the slightest when facing three defenders.

A high-flying pass came through the air, the basketball hovering high in the sky.

Zhang Tao jumped up with all his might, trying to interfere with the receiving of the ball.

Unfortunately, the height difference was like an insurmountable chasm.

Yao Ming raised his hand and gently plucked the ball, his super long arms firmly locking the basketball in his grasp. The ball remained firmly in his hand and could not be easily knocked away by the defender.

Because he never let go.

The simplest, yet most unsolvable, approach is to launch a high-profile attack.

To be honest, substitute center Zhang Tao is just over two meters tall, while the other two defensive players are probably only around two meters tall with shoes on.

They are nearly 30 centimeters shorter than Yao Ming.

A 30-centimeter height gap is an insurmountable difference in the physical battles of basketball's interior.

Not only is he shorter, but he also lacks physical strength, core strength, and positioning ability; none of these three aspects can compare to Yao Ming.

Given such a disparity, any attempt to shake it even slightly is pure wishful thinking.

boom!

One forced meal.

Yao Ming backed down against Zhang Tao, simply lowered his shoulder and exerted force, pushing the opponent back half a step, then turned and scored with a layup.

boom!

He forced himself to eat it twice.

This time, Liu Yudong stepped forward to help defend, and Yao Ming used his agile footwork to drive laterally into the paint, squeeze past the defender, and make a close-range layup.

boom!

The third time he forced himself to eat it.

Zhang Jinsong grabbed and blocked Yao Ming, his arm tightly gripping Yao Ming's waist. The referee blew his whistle, and it was a defensive foul.

Two plus one, effective!

In three consecutive rounds, Yao Ming scored seven points single-handedly.

Meanwhile, the Bayi team experienced a brief period of slump in their shooting touch.

Previously unleashed mid-range and long-range shooting, the team has been hitting shots incessantly and has repeatedly failed to finish at the basket, resulting in a complete standstill on both offense and defense.

The scoreboard jumped again, and the score was completely reversed.

62:55.

A seven-point difference.

Even worse news followed, making things even worse for the Bayi team.

Zhang Jinsong, who played with great determination and tenacity on defense, committed another foul while repeatedly harassing Yao Ming.

This marks the fourth personal foul.

At this moment, there is only one minute left in the second quarter.

Wang Zhizhi committed four fouls, and Zhang Jinsong committed four fouls.

Both key defensive players were burdened with numerous fouls, so they dared not reach out recklessly or engage in full-force confrontations.

In just a few short minutes.

The Bayi team's impregnable and proud defense was completely destroyed by Yao Ming alone.

The rhythm of the game completely reversed, and the situation between the two sides gradually turned around.

At this time.

Yao Ming standing at the free throw line.

Yao Ming slowly straightened up, revealing clear and glaring red ridges on his bare forearms.

He turned his head to the side, his gaze calm as he looked at the Bayi team's bench and at Wang Fei, whose face was ashen.

The boy had a cold look in his eyes, a flat tone, and a low voice, but just loud enough for the defenders in front of him and the coach on the sidelines to hear clearly.

"Coach, three people aren't enough to stop me."

He finished the free throw.

brush----

He brought up the entire Great White Shark's imposing aura.

Such a powerful performance.

If they keep fighting, they'll take down the opponent's key players.

The boss is so powerful.

How could I not feel my blood pumping?

Three people are definitely not enough.

Wang Fei's disadvantage was that he wasn't a time traveler; otherwise, he would have known that even Yao Ming, who hadn't yet played in the NBA, faced a Bayi team without Wang Zhizhi in his last season...

Even a three-man attack is useless.

Not to mention the current him.

Increase the intensity?

Then you've chosen the wrong person from the start.

Throughout the entire CBA league, he is the player least afraid of high-intensity physical combat and least afraid of physical confrontation.

Since you've taken the lead in escalating the conflict, it's my turn next.

This is what I'm giving you, pure NBA-level intensity.

August 1st.

How are you all feeling?

Do you like this intensity?

The players on the field continued their fierce battle, while two foreign scouts on the sidelines kept their eyes on the statistics tables in their hands.

It's as if they've discovered something?

Little Nelson lightly brushed his fingertips across the paper, his expression shifted, and his body subconsciously leaned forward.

He wanted to say something, but when he saw Don Casey beside him, he noticed that the other man's expression had also changed. His originally indifferent and composed face suddenly showed a contraction in his pupils.

He knew that the other man must have discovered the same thing as him.

That is……
