Basketball glory

After playing the Bayi team, the Shandong men's basketball team flew to Fujian the next day to play another away game. The reason why they went there early was because of flight problems.

This situation often happens when all teams are engaged in civil aviation. The team leader Wang Baorui also looked apologetic and said he had no choice but to go ahead of time.

After seeing off Tao Hanlin who was reluctant to leave, An Ran felt that taking a vacation was not a good feeling. After all, his teammates had gone to work hard, but he could not accompany them to fight together.

If Yao Ming hadn't come, An Ran felt that he would have gone with the team to the away game without hesitation, but now, he has more important things to do.

Since learning about Yao Ming, An Ran has consciously collected relevant content.

Although it was so old that many of the news could no longer be found, Enron still found some clues from the only content.

He found that except for some basketball commentators and players, almost all the media were blindly optimistic about Yao Ming. The Chinese giant gained full exposure. In the second year, he even surpassed O'Neal to become the All-Star starting center.

You must know that Yao Ming's statistics at that time were only 13.5 points + 8.2 rebounds + 1.8 blocks. And his shooting percentage of more than half was only unsatisfactory for an inside player.

So even Yao Ming admitted that the United States did attract the attention of the Chinese people to the NBA at that time, which brought a lot of benefits.

If the league hadn't valued the Chinese market and resolutely refrained from making small moves, it would have been very difficult for Yao Ming to take the lead.

When we rushed to the Municipal Gymnasium, we found that the huge venue was empty and felt quite lonely. Last night, An Ran witnessed the battle with the Bayi Team here.

The bustling crowd in the venue was still vivid in my mind, but now it was so quiet that it was scary. If the venue hadn't been brightly lit, An Ran would have even felt as if he had entered a haunted house.

In normal times, some professional players or members of the youth training team would come here from time to time to train, but looking at today's situation, An Ran was afraid that Yao Ming had already said hello and booked the place.

"Hey, are you An Ran?" A sudden cry startled An Ran, and he couldn't react for a moment.

"Hello, I am your nutritionist, my name is Winnie. From today on, I will be responsible for your diet. I will formulate a diet suitable for you and combine the nutrition appropriately. You can tell me about it at your convenience.

What do you usually eat now?"

An Ran was quite surprised by Winnie's fluent Chinese. It was a bit unbelievable that a foreigner could speak to such an extent.

In fact, it's no wonder An Ran thinks too much, because Winnie looks very different from Chinese people. Her fair skin color shows that she is a white person, but her delicate skin does not look like a foreigner at all, but has a Chinese feel.

The skin texture of a classic beauty.

Her golden hair and dark brown pupils gave her a touch of exotic beauty.

"Haha, in fact, I am Chinese, you don't have to doubt it. My grandfather is Chinese, my father is of mixed Chinese and English descent, and my mother is of mixed Chinese and American descent. Although I grew up in the United States, I am an authentic Chinese.

." After that, Winnie showed off her identity card and showed it to An Ran.

An Ran stopped her in a hurry, felt a little sorry for her rudeness just now, and immediately changed the subject.

"I usually like to eat some egg-filled pancakes, steamed buns, pork tenderloin, etc." An Ran told Winnie in detail, while looking at her face, he wanted to test whether she was a genuine China expert.

After seeing her expression gradually becoming serious, An Ran stopped and apologized, saying that she was joking just now.

Winnie was only 1.6 meters tall, not even as stable as An Ran, but she was born with a sense of oppression. In her serious eyes, An Ran definitely did not dare to joke casually anymore.

"This is my phone number. I will contact you later. I have been living near your apartment recently. Remember, you are not allowed to eat randomly in the future. You don't have any self-control and you still want to be a good player?" Winnie looked at her with contempt.

An Ran was deeply hurt. She still didn't believe that she was just joking.

Conscience of heaven and earth, An Ran had ten thousand horses running over her at the moment. She obviously pays great attention to her diet, and generally would not eat randomly.

"Yao is here, I'll leave now, we'll see you later." Winnie left immediately without giving An Ran a chance to express her opinion. She was full of personality.

Although he doesn't know her well, An Ran still believes in Yao Ming. The nutritionist he hired must have certain abilities. In the entire Shandong team, only Beasley, who is in his prime, has a nutritionist. As a member of the entire team,

With the highest annual salary, it is reasonable to have the ability to hire some people to help you take care of yourself.

"Hey, An Ran, weren't you scared by what I said yesterday? Why did you come so early?"

An Ran saw Winnie and Yao Ming high-fiving from a distance, and then heard Yao Ming's loud voice.

Yao is obviously bigger in his jersey. After retiring, due to neglect of exercise, most players' bodies will gain weight to varying degrees, and Yao Ming is no exception. He has already put on more weight.

"I don't think it's too early, there's nothing wrong anyway." An Ran responded.

"Haha, that's fine, as long as you're not scared. Although what I said yesterday was quite serious, you can't have so much pressure. After all, the road has to be walked step by step."

An Ran nodded, indicating that he was not too troubled by this matter. Suddenly he was looking forward to the training, not knowing what Yao Ming would bring to him.

Smith made a qualitative change in himself, and after playing for such a long time, An Ran felt that it was time for another qualitative change.

"Because the positions are different, I can't teach you much. I can only discuss with you the similarities between center and point guard."

Yao Ming stood under the basket to gain position, and signaled An Ran to stand over and hit him with his back. An Ran also stood over in cooperation, wanting to feel Yao Ming's strength.

Just because of his height, Anron felt the pressure of being out of position to defend Yao Ming. This height difference could not cause him any interference at all.

Yao Ming cooperated very well and did not push with all his strength, because An Ran felt that there was nothing he could do.

Just standing tall and holding the ball high, An Ran needs to take off with all his strength, but he may not be able to block the shot. This gap cannot be made up by technology and awareness.

An Ran saw him dribbling the ball and knew that he had no way to guard it. He simply reached out and tried to break the ball.

However, the moment Enron's center of gravity shifted, Yao Ming took action.

Both hands helped the ball, and with one turn, there was half a body gap between An Ran and An Ran, and then he successfully scored with a small hook.

"Okay, this is impossible to prevent." An Ran praised.

"It's too different. I used to be able to turn around and pass you with this kind of ball. Now my reaction can't keep up. It all depends on my height and consciousness." Yao Ming said lightly. Although there was some annoyance in his words, he didn't do it.

I care too much, because after all, I know that my peak period has passed.

"Actually, what I want to teach you is the hook shot under the basket." Yao Ming picked up the basketball and hit the hook again. It felt like a sky hook to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, but it gave people a completely different feeling.

Yao Ming's hook gives people a weird feeling. It seems to be very changeable. One second he was dribbling the ball, and the next second he was shooting.

Everyone knows about Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's hook, but there is no way to prevent it.

"I feel that my finishing ability is not weak anymore, especially after the confrontation at the basket, I feel that my shooting percentage is not low." An Ran said honestly.

I originally thought that Yao Ming would give me some guidance on shooting and low post organization. After all, he was very good at these things, but he actually took the lead in teaching hook shots, and An Ran suddenly lost interest.

"There are no problems with your shooting hand and power, so you can practice shooting more now. You are a point guard, and the low-post organization doesn't need you much, so I won't teach you." Yao Ming heard An Ran's confusion.

, said immediately.

"It's completely different in the NBA and in China. You think you have strong finishing ability, but in the United States they are all physical maniacs who fly around. With your current physical fitness under the basket, you are completely abused in the NBA.

exist."

Yao Ming said tactfully, after all, An Ran had never played in the NBA and he thought his body was good enough. It was normal to have such emotions.

"I know, I will practice the hook well."

Over the course of a morning, An Ran practiced hooks countless times. From back to back hooks, he practiced the dream steps of hooks. An Ran felt that his arms were so swollen that he could not lift them up.

After hooking hands thousands of times, An Ran had already begun to get a glimpse of the secret in one morning.

"When you enter the NBA, you will find that the most indispensable thing there is talent." Yao Ming and An Ran sat on the basketball stand, back to back, chatting during the break.

"Can you tell me more about this? I'm very interested."

After hearing An Ran's words, Yao Ming became interested.

"There are only five people in the alliance who have reached that level."

Yao Ming's words made An Ran a little confused. What is that realm? Is it the same as in the game, with levels?

"No, how can people be digitized?" Yao Ming explained.

"I just mean that there are people who are fully capable of competing against a team by themselves. Under certain conditions, they can completely influence the situation of the battle." Yao Ming seemed to be recalling, speaking very slowly, but An Ran listened very hard.

serious.

"LeBron, Durant, Curry, Kobe, Anthony. But Kobe and Anthony are old, their condition has declined, and their ability to influence the game is getting weaker and weaker."

An Ran didn't know what the basis was for what he said, but since Yao Ming said so, he must have a reason.

"There are many people who can greatly affect the game, including Irving, Thompson, Westbrook, Harden, Antetokounmpo, etc. These people are infinitely close to that state, but they have not yet entered that state."

"What realm? So mysterious? It seems a bit abstract."

"Yes, this statement is very abstract and not absolute. I call it the state of trance. In the minds of these people, if their obsession reaches a certain level, their personal abilities will be greatly improved, which is what you call it.

It feels good, or in good condition."

An Ran nodded, it would make more sense after listening to his explanation. After all, no one has the time to explode yet.

"I believe you will achieve it, An Ran."

"Then did you reach this level when you were at your peak?"

"No"
