NBA, Yao Ming is back!

clap clap-

Not a buddy.

or.

Should we take it easy?

Cover it again.

Yao Ming was afraid of turning this place into a driving range.

All I could hear was the sound of slapping.

After blocking four, five, or six times in a row, this guy finally calmed down, inwardly cursing as he looked at Yao Ming.

you.

Why are you playing basketball when you're so tall?

Let's go play volleyball!

As for defense, it's even worse. He's 2.06 meters tall, right? Well, he's only a head shorter.

That's like someone who's 1.8 meters tall looking at someone who's 1.58 meters tall.

The instant Yao Ming turned around.

Look around.

I didn't see anyone at all.

Make a move with ease.

Who do you think you are? I'm the number one jumper in NCAA!

If you can't win on offense, you can win on defense, that's not bad either!

After all, I used to be on the volleyball team!

Here's a volleyball block for you!

Unfortunately, ideals are beautiful, but reality is harsh.

Although Yao Ming is currently at a disadvantage in terms of weight and strength, suffering from the effects of age and development, but...

He can also turn around and lean back.

This was his unique skill from his previous life.

What are you going to use to cover him?

In this lifetime, I have a longer wingspan, a taller stature, a better jumping ability, and a faster turning speed.

What kind of volleyball big block?

This is a basketball court.

Brother, what are you talking about?

brush--

brush--

brush--

Yao Ming completely dominated him in this game.

Through the previous game, Yao Ming won the trust of his fringe teammates.

They fed a lot of balls during this match.

See that? This is the power of uniting the masses; basketball is a team sport.

Your individual brilliance is nothing special.

You need the whole team to help you be awesome.

This is what true brotherhood basketball looks like.

There's too much possession of the ball.

Without further ado, Yao Ming went straight for the kill, taking them down one by one.

Who can blame them when the tallest player on the team is the tough guy, Crozier?

Hit someone who is about 1.5 meters tall.

It's just relaxing and enjoyable.

No...you, you're cheating!

Crosher suddenly remembered his memories of when he was only 1.5 meters tall!

You're so tall, who can block you? It takes me time to jump.

I had just squatted down when you made your move. After jumping a few times, Crosier felt like he was about to turn into a frog prince.

Aside from wasting energy, it's just putting on a show for the audience where the prince turns into a frog.

Throughout the game, Yao Ming completely dominated him.

This perfectly demonstrates why he was the No. 2 pick.

He's only at position 12.

The key point is this guy, who, as a 2-meter center, has a shooting percentage of only a shocking 06-something percent this season!

2 meters tall, inside player, with a season field goal percentage of over 06%.

These words are combined together.

It possesses an unfamiliar power that comes with it.

He had three-pointers later in his career, but he didn't have them at all in the first two seasons.

If an inside player has a shooting percentage of over 30%, it means you might only have a shooting percentage of slightly over 5% when you're near the basket.

He's not even as good as a defender.

I'm not kidding, Boykins is under 1.7 meters tall, and other people's finishing percentage under the basket is one or two percentage points higher than his.

What kind of person is this "Hamburger Guy"?

I really shouldn't have come to play basketball.

The volleyball court is on the other side.

Having seen through him, Yao Ming simply retreated to the basket and squatted there.

With such a poor shooting percentage, his mid-range shooting percentage almost dropped below 30% throughout his career...

That is to say, most of the time it is just over 20%.

What's there to defend against?

It's more meaningful to defend against a chicken than to defend against him.

Remaining time.

It's almost the same as Sam Gold's performance in the last game.

Yao Ming stood under the basket, back in an era before the three-second rule.

It's a nightmare for these hopping men without baskets.

We're just waiting for him to dunk and lay up.

Shoot?

Do as you please.

Hurry up and shoot, I need to grab the rebound in time.

Seeing Yao Ming's arrogant attitude at the end...

Burger Guy couldn't handle the young man's temper flaring up again.

A straight shot to both ends.

After receiving the ball at mid-range.

He took the shot decisively.

when--

A pleasant sound.

Another blunder.

Check it out.

Yao Ming easily caught the rebound.

This is made of iron.

It made him truly feel that his Ai Tiantian was no longer just a little blacksmith.

It's actually quite accurate.

See, people are afraid of comparison.

Compared to him, Iverson seems pretty appealing too.

Throughout the game, this 12th overall pick almost ruined his market value.

Fortunately, they are still tolerant of rookies, and you could say they haven't adapted yet, otherwise... they would have really lost everything.

I can only wear skirts now.

The final score was 99-80.

This was still the last time Philadelphia was essentially letting the water out.

Various borderline acts of mutual trust and fraudulent transactions.

The largest point difference was once nearly 30 points.

Comparing the stats of these two guys, Crosher, who is known as a tough guy, made only 2 of 22 shots, for a shooting percentage of 9.1%.

The key issue was rebounding. Under Yao Ming's terrifying dominance, their mentality collapsed, and they only managed to grab a pitiful 1 rebound.

Of course, he only averaged 4 per game in his career, so getting 1 is pretty good.

Not bad.

Adding to that guy from the last game, Yao Ming actually managed to defend the rookies of both opposing teams...

Their average field goal percentage never exceeded 20%.

This one is even more outrageous.

It was actually a single digit.

Of course, this doesn't mean he actually has such terrifying abilities now; it just means that these people are being selectively targeted by him, and he's using these targeted attacks to amplify his defensive capabilities.

Watching from the coach's side.

Maurice Cheeks felt that...

Doesn't that just show that he's good at targeting, has a good head, and knows how to maximize his defense when facing his opponent?

There are quite a few physically strong defenders.

There are quite a few experienced defenders.

There are actually quite a few defenders who have brains.

But what if you have the body, experience, and brain?

That's the Trisolarans.

You couldn't find it even with a lantern.

Super blue-collar worker... How many times in the NBA have a few people like this?

Did our team only manage to find one?

You said it would be after Larry Brown left.

Would I also have the opportunity to coach him?

I'm talking about the NBA, not this damn Summer League.

Just as this guy was having a fantasy...

In this game, Yao Ming easily scored 30 points, along with 20 rebounds, 12 blocks, and 7 assists, shooting 12-for-14 from the field and including free throws.

It's almost time for a four-double again.

Although the opposing team is so stubborn, and neither of these teams' key players have a basket, they can only drive to the basket, which is exactly why they are countered.

But these two consecutive games with fast and accurate quadruple-doubles are really...

That's amazing.

Even the most worthless data becomes valuable if you play it so exaggeratedly.

It still has some reference value.

Crosier said in tears after the match—

Playing against this Eastern giant is torture.

I'd rather play against Tim Duncan.

I don't want to fight this Asian anymore.

Nobody came over to defend me, letting me shoot. Is this how a professional player should behave?

That's not professional at all!

Yes, he originally thought that since he was so much shorter than number 11, he could use his athleticism to shift the opponent's center of gravity and then attack the basket, but... the opponent didn't give him a single chance.

He stood firmly under the basket, as if his feet were rooted to the ground.

Whether you shoot a basket or a three-pointer.

I won't go.

Seeing his shooting percentage like that, one wonders if Crosier will be traumatized.

Isn't that a coincidence?

The next opponent is the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The team leader was still a close friend.

Or perhaps we're talking about the Iron Man Legion of this era.

That's all.

The guy who came off the field is called Blevin Knight.

He is 1.78 meters tall and is particularly good at mid-range shots.

How can someone who excels at mid-range shooting be considered a "loser"?

He's good at mid-range shots, but not close-range shots.

Tell me, he's shooting over 4% from mid-range and over 4% from the basket, how do you counter that?

Honestly, Yao Ming has rarely seen many players in his life who can achieve a 40% field goal percentage when finishing near the basket. Even players who are over 1.6 meters tall have a 50% field goal percentage.

Look at the iron.

It cannot be defined.

Who says only COSCO Investment Iron & Steel can be called iron?

Doesn't my close-range shooting and layup not count as a bad shot?

Yao Ming said that his values ​​and understanding have been greatly refreshed.

Then, Cheeks saw Yao Ming's adjustments.

This time you can't just crouch under the basket, can you? You crouch down, but the other person's mid-range shot is very accurate.

Ok.

He definitely didn't crouch under the basket.

The slender Yao Ming stood near the long two-point line.

They kept harassing me.

You said you wanted to play in the paint.

Then go ahead and hit me.

Your field goal percentage under the basket is only slightly over 4%.

Only slightly more than 30% of his shots were close-range shots.

Your accuracy is only about two points higher.

Three-pointer? Sorry, no.

You're asking someone with a career three-point shooting percentage of only 13% to shoot threes?

That's really too cruel.

Therefore, your attack area is actually quite narrow.

Then I'll just interfere with your side.

Yao Ming transforms into Spider-Man here.

A frenzied sweep.

Moreover, he deliberately only interfered with this position.

It's about letting Knight drive to the basket.

Once you're in, do you think you can make it easy for others to advance?

First of all, your finishing percentage at the rim is shockingly low.

Secondly, once you're in jail, Yao Ming will be following you like a shadow.

It doesn't need to stick completely to you.

Do you know what the advantages are for giants and people with long arms spans?

That means there are still several meters between you and me.

As a result, he reached out and covered you.

It's just taking advantage of the fact that your space is more extensible.

Who told you to have such poor finishing skills?

If not you, then who?

Poor Knight, he got a taste of the terror that would haunt defenders decades later when they were dominated by Wabanjama.

There was a ball, and he felt he had already pushed his butt back as far as possible to create space.

The body is stretched to its limit before the attack is made.

But then, with a snap...

It was still covered.

With that snap.

He felt like he was living his basketball dream.

Similar to Croshill before it.

A crack that cannot be ignored has appeared.

He had never seen anyone defend like that in his entire life.

That's because there haven't been many defenders like that in history.

It's perfectly normal that you haven't seen it.

Because no one else has seen it either.

The entire match.

The beating almost made Bryn Vennette vomit blood.

These summer league teams usually have only one strong point.

They were both first-year students leading a group of outsiders.

If the newbie point is pressed.

You think you can win by relying on those marginalized people?

Let's stop dreaming.

really.

Yao Ming sighed inwardly.

Not everyone is Ai Tiantian.

Actually, he wasn't that loyal.

This was another resounding victory.

Yao Ming led his team to an easy sweep.

Because he was sweeping around in the middle of the court during this game, he had fewer rebounds, but still managed to get 18. In the absence of strong competition, it is relatively easy for someone with long arms and legs to grab rebounds.

But once you enter the NBA regular season, the competition becomes more intense, and there are people specifically tasked with stopping you.

They even employ specific tactics to target them.

At this point, strength and tonnage become more important.

After all, we are not in the space age yet.

There was still more physical contact in the paint.

But at this time...

No need to consider it.

Because there aren't people like that in summer leagues.

It was a complete rookie harvesting spree for Yao Ming.

25 points, 18 rebounds, 6 blocks, and 5 assists. He also had 3 steals in this game because he was sweeping the field from the center.

It practically filled up the entire data column.

And the scariest thing is...

Anyway, Maurice Cheeks is the scariest part.

This is not a data sheet from a lower-level league.

Yao Ming made targeted adjustments to his defense!

This is what caught his attention the most.

Now he's certain that he's playing defense with his head in the bag.

It has an extremely fast adaptability.

Moreover, the adjustment options can be quickly targeted.

It smells good.

It smells so good!

If I were to succeed Larry Brown in the future, I would definitely need to maintain a good relationship with him.

After all, he's been a Philadelphia native since the draft.

Larry Brown will leave, but I won't.

Build a good relationship with this kind of person beforehand.

That's his first thought right now.

Ultimately, the 76ers participated in the Summer League.

They won all four preliminary matches.

this means.

In the semifinals, they will face Boston.

They also have a perfect record of 4 wins and 0 losses.

It's the same as chopping melons and cutting vegetables.

Therefore, the next match will be the real test.

After all, he was the number one high school student in the United States.

It's right over there.

Bird Jr. is also over there.

The opposing team may have two high draft picks in the NBA.

Yao Ming looked at the screen and realized the next game was against Boston.

Yeah.

This is finally getting a bit challenging.

Constantly bullying others can easily lead to a decline in one's skills.

Trish, let me see you wearing the green hat of a wealthy family.

There must be some changes.

P.S.: Thank you all so much for your support!!! Your support made me feel like I had to stay seated while writing!

As I said before, thank you everyone for the release date and the extra updates! Thank you so much, everyone!
