The moon is the hometown round, and the strangers who leave home, even if they meet their fellow countrymen, will have an inexplicable cordiality, not to mention being in this country full of "aliens". Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

He had just arrived at the Houston Spurs hotel when he received a call from Yao Ming. At that time, there was no so-called "Yao Restaurant".

At that time, Yao Ming was not as strong as later generations, but his super tall figure still gave Chamberlain a great sense of oppression. Well, in fact, Chamberlain is also quite tall, but he is too thin, and there is an inexplicable feeling of weakness.

The same skin color makes the two people who meet for the first time invariably give birth to a sense of intimacy.

"Hi, Brother Yao!"

Chamberlain naturally waved his hand to Yao Ming, and the smile on Chamberlain's face was sincere.

Yao Ming also laughed, but a little subtlely: "Hello, Aaron." ”

Unconsciously, after staying in this country for a long time, I also contracted some "bad things" of the people here, such as two big men hugging cordially when they met.

However, the two people who met for the first time did not have much in common after all, and they quickly shifted the content of the conversation to basketball.

"How's it going, Allen, are you used to the pace of the NBA?"

"It's good to play in the NCAA for a year, but it's too fast-paced and it's so much tougher that it's hard for me to stay on my feet under the basket. ”

Chamberlain shook his head and said. The NBA is very different from the NCAA, and although Chamberlain was mentally prepared before entering the draft, he found that he still underestimated the difficulties when he actually stood on the court.

For example, there are some blatant little actions that will not be seen in the NCAA arena here, and there will be no such desire for flesh and flesh collision as the people here.

"It's all like this, the old horse, the old Wang, and me, I can only get used to it slowly, and I just have to find a way to increase my weight as soon as possible. I can't go up in weight, and it's really hard to really stand here. ”

Yao Ming also shook his head with a little bitterness, he understood these feelings very well, because he had also experienced them, and he was still experiencing them.

"Is there any other way, Brother Yao? I remember you got into the groove very quickly. ”

Chamberlain hurriedly asked what experience he needed, and it turned out to be a success.

Yao Ming did not participate in the Rockets' training camp, but represented China in the 2002 FIBA World Basketball Championship. Because of the lack of ties to the team, before the start of the season, several basketball commentators, including Bill Simmons and Dick Vitale, predicted that Yao Ming would lose the NBA.

Yao Ming's first NBA game was against the Indiana Pacers, where he scored without scoring with two rebounds before opening the scoring against the Denver Nuggets. In his first seven games, he averaged just 14 minutes and averaged four points per game. But against the Lakers on Nov. 17, Yao Ming was perfect, scoring 20 points on 9-of-9 shooting and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line.

This also led to the classic scene of Barkley following the bet and kissing the buttocks of the donkey brought by his partner Smith.

In just over a month, how did Yao Ming make such a transformation? In San Antonio, Chamberlain had been curious about this question, and now that he finally met the real person, he would not let go of such an opportunity no matter what. Because those experiences are also very important to him, and it will probably help him to improve the current situation where he can only get playing opportunities in garbage time.

Yao Ming was a little silent, and his tone was much lower, the past year has been happy and tormenting for Yao Ming, no one will be like him, carrying so many things and so many people's expectations in every game.

"Faith! Desire to do well in every game. You know, I'm playing here, there's a lot of domestic attention, so it's actually more of a pressure for me, which requires me to play at a high level. It may be a lie, but it's really the most important thing. It's one thing to fight against this kind of thing, in fact, not to be afraid. There is also the need to play to your strengths. You look similar to me, you can try to use your movement speed and change direction to make space for yourself, a lot of people here are actually muscular and stupid. ”

may have seen that the scene was a little dull, Yao Ming made a joke that was not salty or light, and stopped his preaching.

"Faith! Advantage!"

Chamberlain pondered Yao Ming's words carefully, and suddenly heard Yao Ming's words stop, and he hurriedly asked, "What else, Brother Yao?"

The long talk about the church has annoyed many people, but seeing Chamberlain's desire to gain his own experience, Yao Ming smiled slightly, and really taught him the experience that Olajuwon gave him at the beginning, as well as the experience he realized in the game.

"When you're on the pitch, you have to be aware of the position of your teammates at all times, and at the same time you can match the movement of your teammates, and you must be ready to receive the ball at all times, because a lot of people here pass the ball really unbelievable. Also, pay attention to the rhythm of the attack......"

The next time the two spent together became a basketball teaching lesson, and Yao Ming taught Chamberlain what he had gained for a year here to Chamberlain.

Unconsciously, more than two hours passed, Yao Ming's mouth was dry, but Chamberlain was still full of interest, and the two of them who were talking and eating did not realize that the food had already been cold.

As he spoke, Yao Ming suddenly found that he had nothing to say, and Chamberlain was still pricking up his ears.

"Okay, Allen, that's all, some of them were given to me by Olajuwon, some of them are my own game experience, and they may be of limited help to you, if you come to Houston in the summer, I will take you to meet Olajuwon, his basketball camp should be more helpful to you!"

At the end of the conversation, Yao Ming said this to Chamberlain.

At this time, Chamberlain, who was still thinking about the experience in Yao Ming's words, suddenly came back to his senses and hurriedly agreed: "Thank you, Brother Yao, I feel that I understand a lot of things at once when I hear what you just said." ”

However, it was still a little early for Chamberlain to thank Yao Ming, and when the two said goodbye and Chamberlain returned to the hotel, he realized how much Yao Ming had helped him.

"Senior's Guidance": You get the guidance of the A+ level center of the Future League, and the guidance sincerity A, rewards 4,000 experience. ”

When Chamberlain entered his own world of consciousness in the monotonous prompt sound of "Dream Space", he received such a message, and then he saw that the door of the "Basic Training Camp" was already in a state of being openable!
