NBA, Yao Ming is back!

Let's leave aside the other data, what kind of terrifying data is this?

The difference in height and wingspan isn't that scary, but he is tall.

That's an absolute difference of almost 2.4 meters in wingspan.

And he's only 16 years old, so this is probably still quite long; his wingspan might actually reach 2.4 meters.

By then, who will care if it's short or not?

After all, you need to grow this tall first.

And look at his standing reach.

He is about 10 centimeters taller than Pau Gasol, whose wingspan is close to 2.30 meters.

Gasol's standing reach of over 2.90 meters was already excellent.

The result was a 3.05-meter tall structure.

What does this mean? It means that as long as he extends his arm, he can achieve the desired result.

You don't even need to tiptoe to cover the rim; a slight tiptoe is all it takes to complete a dunk and protect the rim.

You don't even need to jump.

Yes, Gasol's wingspan is indeed better than his, but you're not as tall, and your standing reach is definitely not high enough.

Ultimately, we still need to look at the absolute data.

It's like you're in a strength contest.

While being lighter may have a numerical advantage, in terms of absolute weight, it's not on the same level as the visual impact of being heavier.

Yao Ming is now winning by sheer absolute value.

After restarting myself, I used the most scientific methods, the most scientific papers, and the most advanced theories to guide myself to increase height and arm span, and supplemented myself with the most comprehensive nutritional values.

His wingspan is now much longer than it used to be, which was the same as his height.

That's enough.

He knew that no matter how much scientific development he undertook, he could never have a wingspan like Gasol or Kirilenko, who could easily exceed their height by more than 20 centimeters.

But it's fine now.

He was already very satisfied.

As for jumping ability, it's much better than my previous terrible jumping ability. This is good because I'm still growing rapidly and my strength coefficient hasn't fully improved yet, which makes it difficult for me to gain weight and for my strength to increase significantly.

There is actually a misunderstanding about Yao Ming's jumping ability being as high as a matchbox. According to Yao Ming's autobiography, he frequently sprained his knees and ankles when he was sixteen or seventeen years old.

He was injured twice in almost the same place, and after the second injury...

Yao Ming wrote in his autobiography that he felt he could never jump again.

His jumping height was significantly reduced. (According to his autobiography, before the injury, he once dunked so high that he felt the rim was right next to his head. If this is true, then it's a pity we never saw Yao Ming with his athletic ability.)

However, this time such a problem will not occur.

He has avoided these problems, and by improving his physical fitness, his body has been able to maintain a better state of rigidity, making him less prone to injury.

In addition, the NBA-level training system and physical flexibility, strength, competitiveness, and cushioning ability have been greatly improved.

While it might be comparable to someone like Wenban Yama, who can sprint over a meter during the run-up, it's probably not as impressive.

However, he also possesses the ability to switch between traditional inside play styles that VanBan Yama could not.

Moreover, regarding one's original athletic ability.

How can someone have such athletic ability?

He was already quite satisfied.

"Holy crap, no way, that kid just now, he could reach 3.05 meters high while standing!"

"Paul, his is even more powerful than yours."

Navarro, a fellow Spaniard who came with Galsovi, was quite shocked when he saw this data, because he had always thought that Gasol, who was by his side, was already the strongest fighter with the highest reach, and he had never seen anyone with a higher reach than him.

And then one came along.

Gasol watched silently.

He was a genius who was selected by Nike scouts to participate in the training camp. He was very proud. Indeed, just as Navarro said, he had never seen anyone with a longer wingspan or a higher standing reach than himself.

This person's wingspan is indeed shorter than mine, but...

He was much taller than me.

This caused his standing height to be so high that it was difficult for me to reach it.

It's as if the most talented people in the world have been selected; it truly is a gathering of international football geniuses.

Nowitzki looked at the static data of these people.

Let's take a look at our own.

I have some inferiority complex.

These are all way too exaggerated.

They often perform standing vertical jumps of over 2.8 meters.

2.9 meters is not enough now.

Let's go straight for one that's over 3 meters tall...

Yourself.

Did we come to the wrong place?

Am I not strong enough?

"Wow, this kid's static data is that good?"

Even Rhodes, Nike's head of China operations, couldn't sit still anymore; this standing height was simply too outstanding.

His wingspan is so outstanding that it's almost negligible.

After all, the most useful ability for an inside player is rim protection, at least in this era.

These frame guards are simply amazing.

"That's amazing! These static stats, especially the standing reach, are absolutely incredible. It's a historic standing reach!" Don Casey wasn't surprised even when he saw Yao Ming's various face-up isolation plays. After all, he believed that this was just a lower league game, and no matter how well you played, it didn't mean you could score many points in the NBA.

but?

If you have such outstanding static data in a certain aspect?

That's a different matter.

Because static data can be directly compared horizontally.

It's a pity, though. China isn't without people with long arms, like Zhou Qi, who has an incredibly long arm span and standing reach. But even the best static data can only be used as a reference.

"Considering his height, his athleticism is already quite good. Let's see how his fundamentals perform. Among international players, let's see how he can fare."

We were talking about that.

Little Nelson said, "It seems that this year's batch of international players are all of good quality. I wonder how many of them will make it into the NBA in the next year or two."

"Alright, let's not talk about anything else. Let's just guess and bet a steak dinner."

"What number do you think he'll get in the final rankings?"

The ranking mentioned here is directly related to your estimated combat power in the training camp.

Otherwise, Yao Ming wouldn't have been so bothered by his 85th place finish in history.

"I think we should aim for the top 10, that should be fine," Rhodes said first.

"Then I'll bet on him to be in the top five," Don Casey chimed in, also interested.

After all, as a scout, you have to find some fun for yourself from time to time. Predicting the growth curve of these young players is one of the fun things to do, and it also fits your profession.

"Then I'll... bet on him finishing in the top three."

"Top three? You really dare to dream. No matter how good the static data is, it doesn't mean it can be directly converted into combat power. We know that many people with explosive static talent can't even play basketball properly. They can't handle intense games."

Don Casey doesn't really believe that Asian players can achieve good results no matter how good their static statistics are, since there are no precedents to follow.

"If he doesn't get into the top three, how will he get into the green room?"

"To get into the Green Room, especially for an international player, you have to be one of the best, or even the best, here."

"Otherwise, it would be even more frustrating to run into those five-star high school students at Nike training camps in the US."

"The Green Room?" Tang Kaixi was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "I have to say, you really dare to dream. It's already a record for an Asian player to make it to the first round, and you actually went straight to the Green Room."

"Okay, let's start a game then."

"Look at Yao Ming."

"In this international talent training camp."

"What place can we get?"
