Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

Throwing Yao Ming to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Li Shengli and Li Qiuping sat down on the sidelines.

Apart from anything else, they must at least know the possibility of Yao Ming being able to play in the NBA. Although Li Shengli has not registered as an athlete in China, he also knows that the pressure on Chinese people to go out and play... is extremely high, and the resistance does not lie with the players themselves.

"Lao Li, Dayao has recently..."

"Damn, I know you're not holding back your nice words!" Li Qiuping glanced at Li Shengli helplessly and said: "If you want him to play in the NBA, you have to ask him if he agrees with it. Damn it... The kid must be thinking, I shouldn’t have let you see him last year.”

"Come on, as a head coach, don't you want to have two talented people who can reach the NBA?"

"Then think about what good this will do to me. I was kidnapped by the NBA right after I finished training, and I didn't even get the benefit of my ass." Li Qiuping said angrily, but when he turned around, his expression was the same. Changed a bit.

"Okay, okay, I admit that I'm very conflicted right now. I can't bear to let Yao go, but I can't bear if he doesn't make a breakthrough."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. I have to say something to you...you know that you can't hire a few more big shots in the backcourt to help me with my training because of my big name Yao?"

"Holy shit, who do you think I am? I invite people here without asking for favors!" Li Shengli complained, "Let's wait until next time. The NBA is in a lot of chaos right now, so I'm not in the mood anymore."

"I heard some news, is there a strike over there?"

"Yeah, but it's not a strike yet. The regular season won't start until November. Then...it'll be hard to say." Li Shengli was still very annoyed thinking about this bad thing, and continued: "Let's not talk about that for now. I should be staying in Shanghai for a while recently, please give Dayao some training for us!"

"You... I think you are just evil-minded!" Li Qiuping scolded with a smile: "But you have to think clearly, he is different from you. In China, we want to go out to play, and there is a lot of pressure. Didn't Ma* go play for a while? Time, isn't he back now? I won't say whether he can play or not, but have you ever asked him how much pressure he felt at the beginning?"

"I really can't help it. Although I have been in the Utah Jazz and I know the head coach and the core of the team, Larry Miller... is the owner of the Jazz. Their management does not retain anyone, and this You have to rely more on yourself for things.”

"I know you can't help it, but you also have to know how difficult it is."

"You can't make a name for yourself when you go out, but when you come back, someone can stop you from playing. It's so strange. We are all eating this bowl of rice. If you want to go out and see, you have to bear the responsibility. When you come back, the bowl has been smashed. The fact is, then there won’t be anything to eat in the days to come.”

Li Qiuping didn't say too many sensitive things, and Li Shengli didn't know about it. He had a headache. He knew he could fight, but he still had to be hesitant and take inexplicable risks.

"Shengli, what I'm worried about is that Dayao is also in the same situation. As long as the beginning is not smooth, nothing will go smoothly in the future."

"Don't worry about this. Dayao will definitely have a smooth start. I have thought about it. It just so happens that the NBA now has an expansion plan. If Dayao wants to participate in the draft, I can go and talk to Stern first... There will definitely be publicity resources. It can affect the draft. A high draft is a good start, and there will be much less pressure later on. He also has this ability."

…

WTF...WTF?

Can you still talk to CEO Stern while riding a horse?

Li Qiuping felt so crazy now, because Li Shengli was talking about draft publicity resources with a big guy like Stern, instead of... just chatting?

"Don't scare me. Can the NBA president still talk to you about this?"

"Nonsense, we are all the meat and potatoes of the NBA expansion plan. The official does not provide resources. I can find them myself when the time comes, not to mention...those people are smart. Dayao will be worth more than anyone else, Stern. People can see it more clearly than anyone else.”

"Can it be worth more than you?"

"I'm just the beginning. The best time will be two years later when Yao Yao comes."

"That's... well, it's an eye-opener for me to ride a horse today!" Li Qiuping said with a long sigh: "It's still early, I will use Dayao for a while, maybe there will be someone in our country who is more advanced than Dayao. Earlier, please help if you can."

"Anyone else?"

"Yes, many people want to give it a try, but... everyone is under a lot of pressure. My news may not be accurate, so I won't tell them, so as not to cause trouble for others."

…

After chatting for a while, Li Shengli walked to the sidelines to watch the first contact between Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Yao Yao. Old Turner's poor translation was simply useless. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Yao Yao could not communicate at all and could only play one-on-one. A confrontation.

Just one-on-one exploration?

Li Shengli looked on without saying a word... Just how abnormal Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was at his peak can only be felt by his contemporaries. His historical status is transcendent.

To be honest, although it is difficult to compare different historical eras, compared with the current super centers that overlap, the No. 1 pick in the 1984 draft, the number one center in the early 1990s, and Olajuwon in the 1984-85 season For example...

This season, Olajuwon is a rookie and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is at the end of his career.

The former averaged 20.6 points, 11.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 2.7 blocks per game this season; the latter's Kareem Abdul-Jabbar averaged 22 points, 7.9 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.1 blocks per game.

With Kareem Abdul-Jabbar averaging 2.2 minutes less per game than Olajuwon.

It's damned that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who is playing in his 16th season, can still maintain such statistics. He can't compete with the younger Olajuwon in rebounding, but he can steadily surpass him in assists, let alone...

His field goals were 59.9%, 6.1 percentage points higher than Olajuwon's, and his free throws were 11.9 percentage points higher. His average fouls per game were 1.2 fewer than Olajuwon's, and his turnovers were 0.4 fewer.

Of course, it is inappropriate to compare with Olajuwump, who was not yet in his prime as a rookie, but the key is that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has also reached the end of his career. This shows how cruel this trick was at the beginning, and what is even more cruel is that he played football A full 20 years.

But this is not to disparage Olajuwon.

The real question now is...if Olajuwon were to teach Dayao, he couldn't teach him better than Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar may be the ace trainer most suitable for Dayao so far.

Not to mention that Li Shengli is here.

Behind Li Shengli there are active trainers such as O'Neal, Mourning and even Ben. As long as Li Shengli pulls him off, Dayao's offseason will definitely be full, and he can enjoy the resources and resources unrivaled in the league. treatment.

…

Li Shengli had just taken a break, which attracted all the players of the Shanghai team to stop and watch on the training ground. On the field... Although Kareem Abdul-Jabbar had a sullen face, he was also muttering in his heart that he would not play after ten minutes of practice. , Li Shengli took advantage of the situation and pulled Dayao and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to the sidelines.

"How do you feel? You're not at a disadvantage this time, are you?" Li Shengli asked Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

"Ahem..." Kareem Abdul-Jabbar coughed dryly and said, "I don't know how to praise people, but I still want to say that Yao is very good. I can't evaluate other aspects at the moment, but he has a good feeling for shooting, but the strength of his lower limbs needs to be strengthened. We still need to gain weight and improve confrontation, after all, this is the foundation of the inside line, and I can’t ask for more from an 18-year-old Yao. Now I can only coach his skills at the basket.”

"In addition... gaining weight may put a great burden on his body. I am worried that if he encounters a coach like Del Harris who refuses to change his main center, this will shorten his career life."

"Then it's up to you." Li Shengli laughed.

"Damn, you... I now have reason to suspect that you have known this for a long time and deliberately found me as a trainer." Kareem looked at Li Shengli and cursed with a bad smile, while Li Shengli touched his head...

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is notoriously tough.

After working in the NBA for 20 years, no one would believe that he has no ability or awareness to stay healthy. And what Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said is right... Li Shengli just wanted him to help with training and consciously pass on a copy of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's 20 "A guide to endurance training", I don't want Dayao's peak period to be only a few years.

Thinking about it this way, in the 50-year history of the league, there has never been a more suitable trainer than Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

"We are going to stay here for a while, so you can be a coach. When I go back, I will honor you, hehe."

"You little bastard plotting against me? You...forget it, I'm only responsible for Yao."

"That's for sure. Think about it, when Yao grows up, you will be so proud. You have six rings, and I have four. Yao will do three or five more, and we, old and young, will work hard to get 20 rings each." Ring, when the time comes...you'll have to use it on all your toes, don't mind it hurting your feet, Russell will be confused when he looks at you, after all, he only used one toe."

"Uh...is that so?"

"Sure, there is definitely a way!"
