I am Really an Insider

Wayne officially signed a contract with the Trail Blazers, which made the following 15-16 season highly anticipated.

It can be expected that once the Trail Blazers' tickets for next season start pre-sale, they will definitely be sold out in seconds, and they are even harder to buy than May Day tickets.

While the whole world is looking forward to the start of next season, Wayne is sweating in the training gym all day long.

In order to regain his condition, Wayne also returned to the national team as a sparring partner for a period of time.

Because there is the Changsha Asian Championship this summer, the Chinese team started training very early.

After hearing the news about Wayne's comeback, Director Gong was so excited. Last time I invited Wayne to be the coach, this time I directly invited Wayne to be the player!

But Wayne didn't agree this time. It's not that Wayne is setting a new trend. Although he has retired for two years, if he comes back to play in the Asian Championships, it will be so easy for the Chinese team to win!

Wayne can still easily handle a competition of this level in the Asian Championships.

And this kind of ease does not do any good for the growth of others.

So, Wayne did not rejoin the game as a player. Anyway, this year, if nothing else happens, the UAE team can also win.

A Lian is still playing in the NBA in this history, but he has bounced around several teams from the Nets and joined the Lakers this summer.

That's right, Lakers.

In the original history, the Arab League also signed with the Lakers, but the two sides broke up after the warm-up match.

First, the Lakers were unwilling to guarantee the contract to Arab League. Secondly, it may be difficult for Ah Lian to get stable playing time with the Lakers.

For the Arab League, which is the core of both the CBA and the national team, even if there is no starting position in the NBA, at least it cannot be guarded by the water cooler.

So, he voluntarily chose to quit and returned to the CBA to play.

That was also Arab League's last NBA trip.

Now, because Arab League has been playing well in the NBA, the Lakers can guarantee Arab League playing time.

Ever since, Los Angeles has another No. 11 Chinese big man.

Initially, Allen wanted to wear No. 11, but the Lakers refused.

Because they have plans to retire Yao Ming's jersey at Staples.

Although Yao Ming is not the greatest player in the glorious history of the Lakers.

But after all, this is where Chairman Yao’s specialness lies and where his influence lies.

In addition, Naochi once said personally that Yao Ming's jersey must be next to him in the future.

Even if it's just to save face, this jersey must be returned.

Therefore, the Lakers have also put the matter of retiring Yao Ming's jersey on the agenda.

Besides, Chairman Yao is about to enter the Hall of Fame, so why not retire your jersey at Staples?

Just when the Arab League was almost ready to change its number, Yao Ming personally communicated with the Lakers management and finally gave the No. 11 jersey to the Arab League to wear first.

Chairman Yao even joked: "I'm borrowing this jersey for you to wear temporarily."

Because UAE has been playing in the NBA, its strength is still slightly higher than in the original history.

It's totally fine for him to lead the team to the Asian Championships. It's completely redundant for Wayne to go.

It's better to save playing time and let Qiqi practice the sideline ball.

After all, this is a worldwide problem.

Therefore, Wayne did not participate in the game, but was willing to return to the training camp as a player to be a big devil.

Wayne's current condition is probably back to his sixties or seventies.

All data have improved, but have not yet reached expectations.

But don't worry, the offseason is still long anyway.

When I came back to participate in training, I mainly wanted to participate in actual combat training and get a feel for it.

After all, Wayne really hadn't played basketball for two years. During these two years, he didn't play much basketball, but he did play a serious fighting game.

I thought that the training match was just a casual fight, but Wayne never expected that he would be cheated by the Arab League twice in a row in a training match!

In a training match at the end of July, after Guo Zi shot from outside the three-point line, Wayne grabbed the defensive rebound and then jumped directly under the basket to prepare for a second attack.

Little did he know that A Lian would take advantage of Wayne. Wayne was a fool in the air at that time.

Wayne admitted that UAE's physical fitness is considered a ceiling for Chinese players.

But Wayne is a super monster born in the NBA, a house of monsters. He defeated Howard in the dunk contest back then.

But just now in the air, Wayne clearly felt

Ah Lian's bullet speed is much faster than his own?

Fortunately, after the ball was blocked, Wayne easily picked it up.

Wayne didn't hesitate. After getting the basketball, he pushed for a layup again.

The results of it?

"Snapped!"

This time, the ball was slapped directly out of bounds.

The whole audience was silent, and they were all a little dumbfounded.

Although Wayne hasn't played for more than two years, in everyone's minds, he is still the insurmountable ceiling.

In the past, Wayne could definitely put this kind of ball in with the first hit.

But now?

The former number one player in the league was blocked twice by the Arab League.

What's the level of Arab League?

Well, of course the UAE level is not bad.

But compared to the number one player in the league, he is completely out of reach.

But now, he and Wayne were fighting back and forth.

Everyone knew that Wayne's condition might decline, but they really didn't expect it to slip to this point.

Wayne himself was a little stunned. To be honest, after all these years, who could help Wayne like this?

Except for his first two years in the league, Wayne has never been so overshadowed.

Howard, who was said to be the most effective in defending Wayne alone at the time, would not be able to cover Wayne in this way.

Wayne is a little stimulated. If he plays in the NBA in his current state, let alone the championship, whether the Blazers can make it out of the Western Conference is a question.

Wayne just looked at his attribute panel yesterday. His jumping height and continuous jumping ability were only in the early 70s for the former and just over 60 for the latter.

Moreover, Wayne found that it was difficult to improve these two attributes no matter how much he practiced or recovered.

this seems to mean

Wayne's jumping ability is now close to the limit. This is not a problem of recovery, but a problem of the upper limit being so high!

I thought it would be possible to rely on badge bonuses, but it turns out that if the basic attributes are too low, not even badges can save it.

There's no way around it, Wayne may just be that kind of player whose athletic ability drops off very quickly.

It seems that Wayne cannot improve his physical attributes by just practicing, and must make up for it by adding points.

Wayne took a deep breath, then picked up the basketball out of bounds and signaled the game to continue.

To be honest, this training match made Wayne very frustrated.

But it is better to be taken advantage of now than to be taken advantage of again during the game.

In the days that followed, Wayne became the oldest member of the team, but he was the first to come and the last to leave, just so that he could earn more growth points through training and improve his condition through training.

Coach Gong also reminded Wayne more than once to pay attention to rest: "Now that you are injured, how will you fight next season?"

Fortunately, Wayne has the magical skill of "Man of Steel". Otherwise, this is really an issue he needs to consider.

After finishing the Chinese team's training camp, Wayne once again held his own training camp in Los Angeles in early September.

But now, it's not so easy for Wayne to invite high-level stars to join him.

I heard that Wayne was coming to Los Angeles to hold a training camp, so I naturally actively participated.

Ever since, Wayne and Najia started playing Sunset Red singles in the training ground every day, and the entire basketball senior group singles match was at the scene.

17 years ago, in the 1998 All-Star Game, Kobe became an All-Star player for the first time.

At that time, in the locker room of the Eastern All-Star Team, Jordan, Reggie Miller, Tim Hardaway and many other big guys were talking about the frizzy kid from the Lakers.

That little guy from the Los Angeles Lakers, looking for people to fight everywhere.

No matter who you are or what position you are in, he will work hard to defeat you.

He does not wait passively, but always takes the initiative.

Jordan also joked at the time that the kid missed his first four shots. If I were his teammate, I would not pass the ball to him. Want a ball? Grab it yourself.

Many big guys in the locker room laughed, thinking that Kobe was just the tougher one among the many stupid young people.

17 years later, Kobe is still the same, looking for someone to challenge him everywhere.

"Wei, you are too slow now. When I was 32 years old, I was still a two-team defender. If you are like this now, I am afraid that no one will want you in the third team."

"Stop talking nonsense. With your level of trash talk, you still have the nerve to talk to me? I'll just say one thing, my son is going to grow up."

"That's my son too! Take the move, Thief Wei!"

Naochi failed miserably at trash talk and decided to get it back on the basketball court.

So, he turned around, leaned back, and shot a picturesque jump shot.

Then

"Bang!"

Basketball and iron!

"Wipe it, it feels bad this time."

"My brother, you've got five irons in a row. If you can't score, you can't score. What's the point of feeling." Wayne was also convinced. He didn't know what level he was at now?

Last season, although Naochi averaged 22.3 points per game, his shooting percentage was only 37.3%.

To put it bluntly, the whole team was messing around with Kobe.

If the Lakers hadn't been bad in the past two years and had the conditions to lose, Kobe could have done whatever he wanted.

Just talking about his current efficiency, if he wants to play, he can only bring fruit to the head coach's house to visit.

Therefore, in the face of Wayne's tight defense, it is naturally difficult for Naochi to score goals. The five consecutive irons are a routine operation.

Then, Wayne responded with his own way and easily scored the ball with a back-up jumper.

Wayne's technical attribute values ​​have basically returned to their peak state.

Facts have proved that technical things are indeed the least affected by age.

If you look at James, as he gets older, his impact and finishing rate at the basket have declined visibly.

But Tu Shi Lengjian’s skills are getting better and better~

I'm so angry, I've improved by even one goal in a duel with Wayne.

Simply exaggerated.

"Hey, it seems that I am not suitable to continue playing. I think I will retire after next season."

Naochi smiled bitterly, it wasn't that he didn't want to fight, it was that he really couldn't fight anymore.

Because Naochi had not announced his retirement yet, he thought Wayne would be shocked.

Unexpectedly, Wayne just said "oh".

After all, Wayne had known for a long time that Kobe would retire, so he certainly wasn't surprised.

Kobe Bryant:.

"You don't have anything to say to me? I'm retiring, you bastard!"

"It's normal. I said I came back to play the last season with you. Do you believe it?"

"Ah, this." Laojiao's face turned red, and he felt that the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"I won't say anything else. I just want to remind you one thing. You lost the bet back then. Don't touch helicopters in this life, remember?"

"Am I the kind of person who can't afford to lose? Didn't you see that I turned the tarmac of my house into a basketball court? Oh, you are heartless. This is all you say to me when someone is about to retire."

"Also, after I retire, I will teach my son how to play basketball. He is a young brat and very smart.

I taught him, but he said I didn't look good at playing and insisted that you teach me. Damn it, if you say he is less than three years old, he knows nothing. "

Hearing this, Nao Zai's eyes suddenly lit up: "Is this true?"

"It's true."

"Hahahahahaha, Wayne, Wayne, you will have this day too! Don't worry, I will take your son here to live directly after I retire!"

Nagging, who was frowning just now, showed a winner's smile.

If you abduct my daughter, I will abduct your son!

Let's repay each other repaying each other, no one owes the other!

"Then when I play basketball, it must be picturesque. Hehe, my godson has a good eye!" As he said that, he took the basketball, rushed to the basket, and did an extreme pull-up.

To be honest, Wayne felt as if he was in another world when he saw Nao Nai's body twisting in the air.

This action is very similar to No. 8 Kobe Bryant's super pull when he was surrounded by four opponents when he was playing against the Spurs.

This guy is still so beautiful despite his age~

However, reality is always harsh.

After filling up the image of Nachai's handsome pull-up rod in his mind, in reality, Nacai couldn't jump very well, and his waist and abdomen were not that strong, so he directly hit the ball to the underside of the basket.

Then the ball rebounded hard and hit Kobe on the head again.

"boom!"

Naochi spread his hands directly and made a word "big" on the ground.

Wayne: Haha, I thought of you so well!

Two Sunset Red players made a fool of themselves in the stadium and hurt each other.

As time goes by, the pre-season training camp for the new season is about to begin.

After several months of hard work, Wayne has almost regained his competitive status.

He probably looked at his current attribute panel and found that it was almost all gone.

Through training, Wayne's three-point, mid-range shooting and other attributes have declined very little, so small that it is almost negligible.

For example, compared with before, the three-point shooting has only dropped by two points, and the mid-range shooting has only dropped by two points.

The main decline is in physical attributes.

Such as lateral speed, physical fitness and jumping.

Fortunately, Wayne has a chance to add points.

Wayne first added 5 points of bounce height, increasing it to 80.

With a jumping height of 80 and a bunch of badges, it is completely enough.

Later, Wayne also increased the continuous bounce to 80.

Finally, a few more points were added to the lateral speed, reaching a peak of 85.

In these few times, Wayne used 17 extra point opportunities.

In the past, more than a dozen opportunities to add points were enough for Wayne to complete a major upgrade.

But now that 17 opportunities have passed, there will be no splash at all.

Wayne just made his jumping and lateral speed the same as when he was at his peak.

This is the price of getting older.

Wayne mainly only added these three items. What did he think?

On the offensive end, I can still make up for it with my skills. But on the defensive end, physical functions must be supplemented.

To put it bluntly, the offense can still rely on primary school students. But relying on defense, only if Wayne does a good job can the upper limit of the entire team be raised!

There is currently no one on the team who can take over his defensive position, so Wayne can only rely on himself in this area of ​​defense.

After a short operation, Wayne's jumping height, continuous jumping and lateral speed have all returned to the level of his peak period.

But again, Wayne quickly dropped three points, leaving only 77.

Acceleration dropped by four points to only 76.

Physical fitness dropped directly by 8 points, only 89, and Wayne could no longer afford to add these points, so he had no choice but to accept it.

But overall, this decline is still acceptable to Wayne.

Players like Wayne, who can perform three or four in his peak period, will lose agility as he gets older, and his playing style will become more focused on the fourth position. This is normal operation.

They are tough and experienced, but they were all very elegant when they were young.

But as I get older, I still have to develop in the traditional way of the fourth position.

Compared to them, Wayne's agility attributes were already relatively small.

It's pretty much what Wayne expected. After these months of hard work, Wayne's attributes are not much different from those at his peak.

If he were to face A Lian again now, Wayne believed that he would never be pressed to the ground and rubbed again!

Wayne is now waiting for the new season training camp to start and see how much he weighs now!

As Naochi said, when he was 32 years old, he was still a double-team defender.

When James was 31 or 2, his overall strength was still the strongest in the league.

Let's not talk about the old gangster. After his first comeback, he was about the same age as Wayne now, and he was still the king of the league.

And Wayne, as the former number one player in the league, cannot completely collapse at this age!

Wayne knew that he was now able to fight again, but the outside world didn't know that.

Many media are worried about Wayne's decline in strength.

After all, most Chinese players decline very quickly after they reach the age of 30.

The media's exaggeration gave people the illusion that "Wayne is no longer invincible."

On the Internet, there is even a saying that "Wayne is successful if he can make it to the third team."

Wayne just smiled and said nothing.

Don't push me on the Internet, we will soon be able to touch each other in reality
