NBA, Yao Ming is back!

The ball landed in Wang Zhizhi's palm.

He positioned himself with his back to Yao Ming, using his fingertips to flick the ball and find his rhythm.

He glanced at Yao Ming's position out of the corner of his eye, but didn't make any further probes.

He turned by pressing his left foot to the ground, and then raised the ball with his right arm.

A slight flick of the wrist is all it takes to execute a quick hook shot.

He honed this move to perfection in the country, and his strike point was incredibly high.

Its curve is so tricky that no one in China has ever been able to cover it.

It's clear that his skill level is a level, or even several levels, higher than most of the domestic centers.

As expected of Dazhi.

Yao Ming also sincerely praised it.

pity.

This is not the version of yourself from the original timeline.

Moreover, at 16 years old, my height has already reached the familiar 2.26 meters.

Let's talk about Wang Zhizhi's playing style.

No one knows you better than yourself.

He himself is probably not as familiar with it as Yao Ming.

The basketball had just been released.

There wasn't even a chance for the sound of the network connection to be heard.

Suddenly, the shadow behind him rose up from the ground.

Yao Ming, standing at 2.26 meters tall, stretched out his long arms.

Snapped.

The fingertip precisely brushed against the side of the ball.

With a gentle flick.

The ball then lost its momentum.

It crashed onto the floor next to Wang Zhizhi.

Covered?

He actually blocked Wang Zhizhi's shot?

That's Wang Zhizhi, who just made a name for himself in Atlanta.

You should know there are even NBA scouts sitting down there watching.

They didn't come here for anyone else.

It's all for the Bayi Rockets' center.

I?

It was covered up?

Wang Zhizhi was stunned for half a second.

A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

This hook hand was his trump card, a move he had kept hidden since adulthood.

He's never lost a domestic game, but today he got beaten by a 16-year-old kid?

Fortunately, after playing basketball for so many years, I reacted instinctively.

Leaning forward to catch the ball, this time without resorting to tricks, I stabilize my lower body, push off with my left shoulder for half a step, and then perform a slight turn and jump shot.

This is a move he honed at the Atlanta Olympics, combining footwork and mid-range shooting, and it's most effective against tall inside players.

It was originally designed to counter the taller interior players on the international stage.

But... Yao Ming wasn't pushed aside at all.

His steps were extremely steady.

With another leap, his long arms blotted out the sky.

He swatted the ball solidly onto the backboard.

It bounced back into Wang Zhizhi's hands.

hum-

Wang Zhizhi, that shot was blocked?!

Even Commander Adijiang, who was present, could hardly believe it.

Few people on the international stage can handle this move.

He got blocked again.

Fortunately, the ball bounced back into Wang Zhizhi's hands.

"Number 15 did a great job, let's give him another block!"

"Well done, well done! It'll prevent the wind-chasing boy from chasing the wind!"

"Well done, big guy!"

Hearing these shouts.

Two-piece cover.

Wang Zhizhi's face darkened.

A surge of anger welled up inside him.

He was, after all, a teenager of eighteen or nineteen.

How could such a thing be allowed to happen?

If we don't give it a shot...

The prestige I've built up on the international stage will likely be reversed very soon.

That won't do.

Because there are NBA scouts watching from below.

This is also a major factor.

He had no choice but to fight.

I have to prove myself.

He gripped the ball tightly.

Completely abandoned the techniques.

Slumped shoulders and hunched back.

Use the most direct bulldozing style to crush the paint—

This move is invincible among domestic centers; no one can withstand his strength and physique.

Unfortunately.

It didn't budge.

Because taller people will naturally have a larger starting weight for the same body type.

Even if you don't exercise, if you're 2 meters tall and weigh 200 pounds, you might still look very well-proportioned.

But if you're 1.8 meters tall and weigh 200 kilograms...

Without training.

That would turn you into a very fat person.

Even if it's all training.

That way, taller people can also accommodate greater weight.

The maximum amount of meat is higher.

For example, when Yao Ming first went to the NBA, he was already close to 300 pounds, while at that time everyone remembered him as extremely thin.

But in fact, he already weighs close to 135 kilograms.

In this timeline, although he was developed and trained in an NBA-level manner from a young age.

But that doesn't stop too much nutrition from being distributed to one's height.

As a result, even though I eat very well and have scientific methods and patterns for nutrient intake, my weight has not become too extreme.

Otherwise, Wang Zhizhi might not have had any intention of using a bulldozer-like approach at all.

hum-

His shoulder bumped into Yao Ming.

It felt like hitting a solid wall, completely shattered...

Do not move.

When two people have roughly the same weight.

So what are we looking at?

Of course, it's your core strength.

And in this aspect.

I've been developed using the NBA model and methods since I was a child.

The training models, methods, and techniques used here are on a completely different level from those used in China.

Even if you, Wang Zhizhi, are working very hard.

You can't win either.

In terms of core strength, Yao Ming is now world-class.

Over the years, his primary focus has been on core strength training.

This is also the most important strength for basketball players.

It is more important than upper limb strength and lower limb strength.

Therefore, Wang Zhizhi stood his ground.

It immediately became somewhat unbalanced.

Can't push it up???

Wang Zhizhi's heart skipped a beat; he couldn't believe it.

He increased his strength, using his waist and abdomen to push again, but Yao Ming remained firmly rooted to the spot.

She even leaned forward slightly, using his strength.

This further narrowed his offensive space.

I could faintly hear Adijiang's shouts.

There was also Wang Fei's reprimand from the sidelines.

But all Wang Zhizhi could think about was competing.

With red eyes, Yao Ming once again shouldered his weight in a confrontation, but Yao Ming remained unyielding.

It seems his efforts have all vanished like mud oxen sinking into the sea.

Instead, she raised her hand and placed it against his lower back.

Lock him completely in the three-second zone.

These techniques include, for example, compressing the offensive space.

For example, in physical confrontations, slowing down the opponent's movement or even locking them in place makes it easier for them to stay within the three-second zone.

Few people in the country understand these technologies.

And he is someone with NBA experience.

It's very easy to use.

Damn it, I have no choice but to force a shot.

Just as he was about to forcefully make a move.

A sharp whistle rang out.

Three seconds of attack time.

"What are you doing?!"

Wang Fei's angry voice also became clearer.

The Bayi team doesn't tolerate such behavior; they've always been known for their harsh criticism.

Wang Zhizhi stood frozen in place, looking down at the three-second line at his feet, still clutching the ball in his hand.

His fingers gradually turned white from gripping the basketball too tightly.

Three attacks.

The hook was deflected.

His turnaround jump shot was blocked.

The bulldozer couldn't budge it.

Finally, they even stepped on the offensive three-second rule.

This young talent from Bayi Rockets, who just beat Robinson and Hill at the Atlanta Olympics, is remembered by fans across the country.

He was humiliated three times in a row by an unknown 16-year-old from Shanghai.

They failed to launch a single effective attack.

They were also caught committing a three-second violation on offense.

The Bayi substitutes' bench fell silent for a moment. Zhang Tao's mouth dropped open; no wonder he couldn't handle it...

Damn it, even Wang Zhizhi can't handle this.

Isn't it normal if you can't handle it yourself?

"Don't just stand there, roughly."

"It's time to defend."

Yao Ming's voice came through gently.

At this moment, Wang Zhizhi was somewhat dazed.

After all, the term "roughly" hasn't become popular yet.

He wasn't sure for a moment whether they were calling him.

And when he went back to defend.

An NBA scout sitting on the sidelines.

Veteran NBA fans would probably recognize him at a glance.

First row on the sidelines.

A foreigner in a dark suit with slightly curly blond hair had a notebook on his lap.

His name is Donnie Nelson.

Assistant coach for the Phoenix Suns.

One of the most senior international scouts in the NBA.

Currently in charge of scouting in the European and Asian regions.

The person who has been keeping a close eye on Wang Zhizhi since the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.

I never expected to be here to watch the first match.

But they received an unexpected surprise.
