Chapter 118: True Disciple
In the summer, Yao Ming's younger brother "Xu Yong" was found to have hidden injuries, and it was a major injury that threatened his career, and he was later treated in the United States until the start of the new NBA season, and he gradually recovered.
Seeing that he couldn't catch up with the CBA, Wang Ming waved his hand and left Xu Yong and his team.
"Follow me to train, and by the way, make up for what you didn't practice in the summer."
Xu Yong's physical fitness is excellent, and he is the best among the yellow races, similar to the flying devil like Yi Jianlian.
Xu Yong dared to fight in the game, and often staged a dragon violent buckle, but after Wang Ming saw his body, he decided to make an appointment with him for three chapters.
"From now on, until you get into the pro game, you can't dunk."
Wang Mingming's first sentence was to restrict Xu Yong's dunk.
"Why?"
Xu Yong cried with a sad face, he had an obsession with dunks, he liked the feeling of flying in the sky, but Wang Mingming's words, he didn't dare not listen, and he could even say that he was extremely convinced.
"Your body hasn't grown yet, the impractical skill of dunking, you can not use it or try not to use it, during this time you are training in the United States, there will be a major leap in strength, speed, and bounce, if you are injured at this time, it will be difficult to tap the potential."
Wang Tomorrow has always disliked the strong dunking of players, and he can score on the board and layup obscenely, why do he have to dunk and hurt his knee?
"The second is that you have to change some of your small problems in playing in China, and you have to quickly learn to triple threaten to attack with the ball, in the NBA, every good wing player should learn to triple threat, in the real game, there are not so many opportunities to dribble, and those who can score within three strokes are the real masters."
Xu Yong was stunned when he heard this.
Yao's team also grasped this rare opportunity, knowing that Wang Ming was willing to teach Xu Yong, and happily stationed in Philadelphia.
For a period of three months, it will pay Wang tomorrow $100,000 in training expenses.
By February of next year, Xu Yong will be able to go back to the CBA and even make the playoffs — if the Big Sharks can make the playoffs.
But Xu Yong's salary this season is not much, and he even owes Zhang Mingji's team some money because of the treatment of injuries.
In addition to the fact that Wang Mingming can't take Xu Yong to the NBA arena, Wang Mingming can help Xu Yong arrange NBA-level training in the past, and at the same time, Wang Mingming also transmitted a lot of basketball knowledge to him, and Xu Yong's vision has also risen.
Unlike named disciples like Antoine White and Paul Millsap, after such a long period of training, Xu Yong can be regarded as the first disciple that Wang Mingming really devotes himself to teaching, and he has a deep inheritance.
.......
After the 76ers defeated the Bucks, they defeated the Jazz and the Wizards at home, respectively, and the overall record of 13-2 ranked second in the East and second in the league.
The first place in the league is still the Celtics, but the records of the two teams are exactly the same, both 13-2.
The 76ers instantly became a super team comparable to the "Big Three" like the Celtics, and the situation in the East has become more and more talked-about.
Unfortunately, in the final game against the Wizards, Gasol hit a finger and missed a week or two.
Gasol's injury has created a particularly difficult opportunity for the strong 76ers.
The outside world's evaluation of the 76ers has declined, believing that the 76ers may fall out of the first-series competition with the Celtics, and even usher in some failures in the future.
As a result, at the beginning of December, in a row at the end of November, the 76ers actually played a wave of ten consecutive wins.
Gasol's injury has given Paul Millsap a chance.
Paul Millsap is very strong, and he may not be as functional as Gasol today, but his rebounding, propulsion ability, and personal offense with the ball are not weak at all, as a starter, and after the playing time increased to 35 minutes, Paul Millsap handed over an average of 17.1 points, 8.8 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.1 steals per game, which is very strong.
Iverson, meanwhile, defeated Dwight Howard in the inaugural Eastern Conference Player of the Year award to lift the Eastern Conference Player of the Year trophy.
In his first month, Iverson averaged 25.7 points, 3.5 rebounds, 6.8 assists and 2.5 steals per game, shooting a career-high 48.7 percent from the field and 32 percent from three-point range, ranking among the top five players in the league in terms of efficiency.
Although Howard also has epic stats of 23.8 points, 15 rebounds and 2.7 blocks, the team's record is slightly worse, with a 14-4 record and third in the East.
In comparison, there is not much suspense in the Western Conference competition, with Carlos Boozer averaging 25.4 points and 11.2 rebounds per game to lead the Jazz to second place in the West.
After 10 consecutive wins, the 76ers have surpassed the Celtics to become the No. 1 in the league.
Gasol returned to the team and players such as Louis Williams and Willie Green took turns suffering some minor injuries and were on and off.
Iverson and Iguodala, two key players, are like the Iron Man, who have been largely unaffected by injuries.
.......
On December 10, the 76ers hosted the Rockets.
The Rockets had a good record at the beginning, with a wave of three consecutive wins, but then, they suffered various defeats, and now after more than a month of schedule, the record is very unsatisfactory, and they are currently 10-11, ranking tenth in the West.
At the beginning of the season, Maddie was particularly ferocious, averaging more than 30 points per game, but now, Maddie has played a series of poor performances, and the shooting rate is even less than 4%.
When Wang saw Yao Ming tomorrow, Yao Ming's face was very unsightly.
"How? You okay? ”
Yao Ming smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Coach, I'm really helpless, I feel like this season is going to be bad again." ”
"It's okay, it'll be better in the later schedule!" Wang tomorrow persuaded.
A hint of disappointment flashed in Yao Ming's eyes, "In the summer, I invited Tracy to your training camp as well, but he refused on the grounds of rest. ”
Yao Ming said half of what he said, but when Wang Ming heard it, there was a huge wave in his heart.
Yao Ming asked again: "Coach, will you renew your contract with the 76ers after you finish coaching?" ”
Wang Ming was stunned for a moment, he really didn't think about it, the top priority for the 76ers is to win the championship, which is also his only goal now.
Wang Mingming's momentary hesitation was seen by Yao Ming, compared to the players, the coach looks more like a job, in the future, if there is better treatment and conditions, then no one can say the coach's movements.
"I want you to think about Houston, I feel like I need your help very much." Yao Ming held Wang Mingming's hand, full of affection.
Wang Ming laughed, "No one can say for sure what will happen in the future, maybe I'm still in Philadelphia, maybe I'm not in Philadelphia, can you be sure that you will definitely stay in the Rockets in the future?" ”
Yao Ming was speechless by Wang Mingming's rhetorical question, but his heart moved slightly.
