Las Vegas, Summer League.

Wei Zhiming did not go to the summer league because Reeves kept him.

The alliance was surging, Reeves brought Josh in a big way, and shamelessly blocked Jordan Jr. at home, successfully renewing Jordan Jr.'s contract.

None of this has anything to do with Wei Zhiming, he is just a rookie who has been undrafted, how to play and play at his own level is what he cares about.

PlayaVista Training Gym.

At this moment, after the Clippers signed Jordan Jr., those main players chose to go on vacation, of course, there is no Wei Zhiming in this group, he is an undrafted pick, and he is honestly training himself in the stadium at this moment.

After doing strength training, Wei Zhiming wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his eyes suddenly froze, and he saw Reeves who left him behind.

"Head coach?" Wei Zhiming called out in a proper manner, Reeves nodded, and he beckoned to Wei Zhiming.

Wei Zhiming followed Reeves, he was confused, here Fus didn't let him go to the summer league, but left him behind, I don't know what the hell to do.

"This guy has a son, so he shouldn't come out." Wei Zhiming's eyes were erratic, he hadn't heard that Pig-headed Reeves liked men.

Reeves knew Wei Zhiming's thoughts behind him, he took Wei Zhiming to a separate court, and then turned around with a smile on his face: "Wei? ”

"The height of the bare feet is 208CM, the height of the shoes is 211CM, I asked you to go to the center position, can you be competent?"

Wei Zhiming was stunned, he reported a big forward, although he can also play center, but because of height and strength, he can't play center.

But Reeves, who has the power to kill him at the moment, asked, even if he can't fight, he can fight.

"I can do it!" Wei Zhiming spoke loudly, and his confidence satisfied Reeves.

"From today until the start of the season, you're coming here every day to train and I'm going to supervise you personally and make you an interior defensive gatekeeper. Makes you the main center forward during the bench period. Reeves assured that he had a tactic in mind that could take on the Warriors.

Wei Zhiming nodded immediately, as long as he can play, let alone play center, even if he plays point guard, he can do it.

Reeves had a smile on his face, he walked up to Wei Zhiming and patted him on the shoulder: "I will find you a defensive expert, you follow him to study hard." As long as you do well, I'll get you on the pitch for the new season. Look at your predecessor DeAndre Jordan, who was the 35th pick in the second round, but now he has become an indispensable interior gate for our Clippers and has been awarded a max contract. You're an undrafted pick, oh, we Clippers don't have draft picks, otherwise we wouldn't let you lose the draft. ”

"You know, you're a draft loser, and you have to show the teams that didn't pick you and the managers who let them know that they're blind. As long as you work hard and work hard, you will also get a contract with the highest salary. Reeves said earnestly, and he patted Wei Zhiming's shoulder again: "Believe me, if I can bring out DeAndrew, I can bring you out." Now tell me out loud, do you believe in yourself? ”

After Wei Zhiming listened to Reeves's words, he only felt tears in his eyes, and his whole body was full of motivation: so he yelled: "I believe in myself, I will definitely become a superstar!" ”

Reeves saw that his chicken soup had an effect, and his heart was satisfied: "Come on, young man, the future is yours." ”

Your sister, the future is Wiggins's.

Wei Zhiming's burning blood suddenly coagulated, he didn't want this future, he just wanted the present.

Reaves turned around and left the arena, Wei Zhiming waved his fist, and the head coach who covered the sky with the Clippers personally promised to ensure that he played, and he only felt that his future was bright.

After training strength, Wei Zhiming went to train endurance again, he had to build himself into a defensive warrior first, and then step by step towards the superstar position.

Sweat is dripping, breathing is wheezing. Wei Zhiming is constantly insisting, endurance is very important, if the endurance is enough, Yao Ming may be the first center in the NBA.

That NBA superstar is not patient, Kobe Bryant, Iverson are iron men who can play the whole court.

Although he has not yet been on the battlefield at the moment, he is still ready for the future.

Time moved slowly, and Wei Zhiming was not seen in the summer league, which disappointed many Chinese people, who wanted to see who Wei Zhiming was, and joined a Western powerhouse like the Clippers without saying a word.

But soon, Wei Zhiming was forgotten, and Zhou Qi, a local player in China, the big demon king of Xinxiang, ran to the Pelicans for a tryout, and he is expected to participate in the NBA draft with Wang Zhelin next year. For a while, everyone paid attention to Zhou Qi's dynamics, looking forward to Zhou Qi joining the NBA and adding Chinese power to the NBA.

Compared with Wei Zhiming, who ran to the United States in advance, the players who played step by step from China are of course more concerned. However, Wei Zhiming didn't care about any of this, he was in control of the ball at the moment, facing the basket, and his mind was extremely concentrated.

Mark Eaton!

Not to mention others, even Wei Zhiming didn't know who this person was before he was abused. This tall 220CM center, who is already fifty or sixty years old, easily defended Wei Zhiming to tears, his low-post singles were blocked several times, and the mid-range shooting was forcibly interfered with, with his offensive means at the moment, it was a success to put the basketball into the basket.

Mark Eaton, nicknamed "Mammoth", is an American professional men's basketball player who played for the Utah Jazz as a center on the court.

Mark Eaton is a four-time NBA block champion and two-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year. Currently, Eaton still holds the NBA's record for the highest average blocks per game at 5.56 per game, and is also the fourth-highest owner of total blocks, and his No. 53 jersey number is also one of the Jazz's retired numbers.

Take a look at his list of accolades.

In 1985 and 1989, he won the title of NBA Defensive Player of the Year.

In the 1984~85 season, he set an NBA single-season block record with 456 blocks.

In the 1984~85 season, Eaton's 5.56 blocks became the only player in NBA history to average more than 5 blocks per game in a single season.

He was the king of blocks four times in 1984, 1985, 1987 and 1988.

He was named to the NBA All-Defensive Team three times in 1985, 1986 and 1989.

He was named to the NBA's All-NBA Second Team twice in 1987 and 1988.

He was named an NBA All-Star in 1989.

He has a total of 3,064 blocks in his career, which ranks fourth in NBA history after Olajuwon, Mutombo and Abdul-Jabbar.

Hearing the series of glories introduced by Reeves, Wei Zhiming was completely stunned, Mark Eaton's era was not the current time when center forwards were scarce, that era was the era of center forwards.

Mark Eaton was active in the 80s and early 90s, and the center of that era was arguably the strongest one outside of the ancient beasts.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Ewing the Gorilla, Moses Malone, Carl Malone the Postman, Olajuwon the Big Dream, Admiral Robinson, and O'Neal, the big shark who joined the NBA in the early 90s, the Kidney fighter Mourning, Uncle Mu of Africa, Yao Ming's idol Sabonis, etc.

Listen to the name, and you will know how terrible it was to get these glories in those days.
