Chapter 371: Stronger Half-Orcs
Faried, the 22nd pick in the first round this year, was taken by the Philadelphia 76ers.
At the time of the draft, he was 203 cm tall and weighed 104 kg, he could run and jump, and his best style of play was face frame impact, secondary attack, and of course, he could occasionally shoot a shot.
After four years of college, Faried is definitely an instant force, and it is said that his vertical bounce power is also up to 90 centimeters!
However, because of the height problem, many people feel that Faried has to kneel when he enters the NBA.
In particular, Faried is still the kind of player who has a bit of a problem defensively, so Philadelphia fans are a little uneasy.
After the exchange for Yao Ming, the 76ers' internal reserve resources are in an emergency, and fans know that when Yao Ming was in the Rockets, there was no good power forward partner, and almost every starting power forward who partnered with him was short......
Even a person with a standard height of 208 cm has it, no wonder Yao Ming is exhausted.
And now that Brand and Whiteside are gone, does Yao Ming want to partner with the 203-centimeter Faried?
Oh, there's also a 211-centimeter Hawes, but Hawes is a bench, and if Hawes is mentioned as a starter, it really makes the 76ers bench a lot shorter......
This is also a headache for all trainers.
They didn't want to get Yao Ming tired because they didn't find a suitable partner for him.
However, because Faried was personally picked by Han Miao and Stevens, everyone can only look forward to it a little.
But who would have thought that it had only been a few months since I saw Faried, he, he, had grown 5 centimeters!
208 cm! Standard power forward height!
And the weight has also become 108 kg! The muscles in the arms in two days are much more obvious than in the draft!
It can be seen that the half-orc Faried, how cruel he is to himself this summer!
"Kenneth, you go test the bounce."
The strength of the muscles must have gone up, but for fear of sacrificing his advantage for the sake of strength, Faried's strongest thing is bouncing!
The result was surprising again, Faried's bounce was still around 90 centimeters, and it was still getting closer to 95 centimeters!
"This ......"
All the trainers on the team were scared, this guy Faried was going against the sky! This data is not lost to the champion Griffin in 09! Even better than Griffin in some ways!
For example, the length of the hair, the length of the arms......
That's right, this is the reason why Han Miao chose Faried in the first place, he wants to create a "white monster" that only belongs to the Philadelphia 76ers!
I've grown taller and stronger, but I'm still so able to jump so flexibly, and now I've picked up a treasure!
Yao Ming looked at his new partner, and he was also quite satisfied, this height and ability are very good for a rookie.
"Do you have any more consistent offensive methods?"
Yao Ming asked Faried, Yao Ming knew that he would definitely be the team's main center next season, so his partner, he had to understand.
"Face-frame impact, dunk."
Yao Ming is now the most offensive interior in the league, which is no problem, so Faried really can't say that he can attack in front of him, he can only say that he can dunk.
"Your bounce is very strong, so when you attack the second time, if you have the opportunity, I can block you and you can make up for it directly."
Yao Ming is a big brother with a lot of generosity, and it is no problem for him to directly play a secondary offense after grabbing the rebound himself.
However, since Faried is a kid who likes to dunk and can jump, he doesn't mind blocking for Faried.
"Really, really?"
Although Faried played in college for four years, he was still a rookie in the NBA, and Yao Ming actually said that he was willing to block people for rookies?
"Well, if you can play your own role, I don't have a problem."
Yao Ming is still very friendly, Boss Fu was willing to cover him back then, and now he is also willing to cover his little brother.
"Come on, let's see if we can get points from me."
At present, Yao Ming is also recovering from his injury, and in order to check how he is recovering, he sent a heads-up invitation to Faried.
"Okay!"
Faried is also very simple in doing things, Big Brother has said so, and it is hypocritical to refuse again!
But it really had to be one-on-one with Yao Ming, and Faried knew why he was now the No. 1 center.
It's too high, it's too big!
Yao Ming stopped under the basket, basically blocked the route of the frontal breakthrough, and then straightened his arm (although Yao Ming's arm length is not long), it was basically no different from the net of heaven and earth, and it was really difficult to break through.
Even though he was 5 centimeters taller now, Faried couldn't look Yao Ming in the eye.
"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! ”
After being slammed three times in a row, Faried was hit by Waterloo at the beginning.
However, he is also looking for death by himself, and he actually plays the routine of back-to-back singles in front of Yao Ming, and it is strange that he is not risked to die.
"Where's your punching frame? You can't score goals with this kind of play. ”
Obviously a frame-punching player, he has to play back-to-back singles, isn't it that he can't get along with himself!
Faried was speechless, in fact, what he wanted to say was, how could he succeed in the frame one-on-one? Yao Ming, who has lost weight to 135 kilograms, has not lost much strength, his speed has been greatly accelerated, and the inside line is one-on-one, and there are not many people in the current alliance who are faster than him.
The most important thing is that Yao Ming has long legs, and he takes several steps to top others in one step, how else do you say this can be played?
If Han Miao was there at this time, then relying on Han Miao's cake feeding skills, Faried could still try to punch the frame a few times.
After a few missed attacks, Faried's face frame was not easy to use in front of Yao Ming, there was no advantage in strength, and the speed could not be fully rushed, how could he fight in the face frame? You can't even make a foul!
"You have to learn to attack on your own. You can't just rely on Han Miao. ”
Yao Ming signaled that it was okay, and then said to Faried in a serious voice.
Why is Griffin so good now, not only because his physical fitness is better than others, but also because he can attack independently, a power forward is so slippery with the ball, and he can easily push a dragon after getting a rebound in the backcourt, how many interior lines can do it now?
Yao Ming withdrew first, and after he admonished him, he did not continue the trial. It is obvious that Faried now needs to eat bread to play to his best ability, once this kind of person has bread to eat, it is flying and omnipotent, but once they let them create their own offensive opportunities, well, this is what it is difficult for strongmen.
Faried has recently made Xiao Si his idol, and he has nothing to do except build his muscles and body every day. For example, if you don't fully practice this thing in four years of college, it is impossible to practice it in this short period of time.
So before Han Miao came back, Faried could only continue to temper his body, which was his strongest weapon.
However, judging from the current situation, Faried is stronger than him in the same period of the original history, and he is more worthy of the title of half-orc!
