The Rockets' preseason training camp has begun, with physical and tactical training being the focus.

Qiao Hai's office is on the second floor of the training hall, and another small window is facing the training hall, even if Qiao Hai doesn't go out, he can learn everything that happened on the training ground through this small window.

Observation is one thing, on the other hand, Qiao Hai is very concerned about Yao Ming.

One thing that Qiao Hai can't deny is that he chose the rocket as the next stop, Yao Ming occupies a certain factor, and Qiao Hai also has his own ideas about Yao Ming's future development direction.

This has to mention the past life.

In his previous life, Yao Ming's development direction was that kind of heavy center forward, with Jeff Van Gundy as the head coach and Patrick Ewing to guide Yao Ming.

To that end, Yao Ming began to gain weight and adapt to the confrontation inside and in the penalty area, and Jeff Van Gundy's idea was self-evident, and he wanted to develop Yao Ming into another Shaquille O'Neal, or at least another Patrick Ewing.

This kind of training direction cannot be said to be a failure, after all, Yao Ming still played beautiful data, but the final result must be a failure, because Yao Ming has been injured after gaining weight.

It is difficult to say that Yao Ming's injury, and the serious injury that led to his final retirement, was caused by a certain reason, it should be said that Yao Ming's final injury was the result of many influences.

Weight gain, numerous international friendlies, and later Rick Adelman's excessive use (Jeff Van Gundy only let Yao Ming play 34 minutes per game, and after Rick Adelman took over the Rockets, he said that a center like Yao Ming must play 39 minutes per game to play), all of which led to Yao Ming's continuous injuries and eventual retirement due to injury.

Therefore, Qiao Hai's cultivation direction for Yao Ming must be different from Jeff Van Gundy, and he doesn't want to see Yao Ming follow the old path of his previous life.

……

Rudy Tomjanovic's cultivation of Yao Ming is currently focused on the defensive end, including defensive positioning, defensive movement and so on.

On the offensive side, Tang Shuai focused on Yao Ming's shooting, and the tactic he arranged for the team was that as long as there was an empty space in front of Yao Ming, other players would pass the ball to Yao Ming and let Yao Ming shoot.

For Yao Ming's shooting, Tang Shuai is full of confidence.

As for singles and strong fighting, Tang Shuai hasn't started training yet.

However, judging from the fact that Tang Shuai did not let Yao Ming gain weight, Tang Shuai should not train Yao Ming to be a heavy center.

Moreover, from what Tang Shuai said in an interview before the season, it can also be seen that Tang Shuai actually has his own idea about Yao Ming's cultivation.

Tang Shuai believes that Yao Ming and Hakim Olajuwon are the same and belong to the same type of player.

Therefore, Tang Shuai strongly advocated not letting Yao Ming gain weight, but using Yao Ming's projection ability to open up another piece of heaven.

……

The two coaches have two different training methods, and Qiao Hai also has different ideas.

He believes that weight gain is obviously undesirable, and weight gain will only make Yao Ming a glass man, and no matter how you go, this path will be a failure.

Therefore, Yao Ming's future path can only be technical flow, relying on a soft feel to break through.

There is also a difference between the technical flow and the technical flow, Tang Shuai said that Yao Ming is like Olajuwon, but Qiao Hai feels that Yao Ming can't play like Olajuwon, because he doesn't have the outstanding footsteps of Da Meng.

If you have to find a template for Yao Ming, Qiao Hai thinks it should be the center forward whose original name is Ferdinand Lewis Ascindor.

Of course, there are still differences between the two, Yao Ming's speed is slower, his strength is a little smaller, and his skills still need to be polished, and these are the things that Yao Ming still needs to improve.

Qiao Hai has also looked at Yao Ming's current total rating and potential value, Yao Ming's current total rating is 78 points, and the potential value is 94 points, which is almost enough to enter the superstar ranks above 95 points.

……

During the training camp, Qiao Hai kept chatting with Yao Ming, and soon attracted Tang Shuai's attention.

didn't wait for Qiao Hai to find Tang Shuai, Tang Shuai came to the door by himself.

"Joe, I heard that Yao and you are compatriots?"

"Yes, we are all from the Celestial Empire." Qiao Hai replied with a smile.

"So, do you have any ideas about his cultivation?"

Tang Shuai suddenly asked such a question, Qiao Hai was also stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that Tang Shuai would actually come over to ask for his opinion on Yao Ming's cultivation.

Qiao Hai knocked on the table, thought about it, and said: "Actually, I don't have too good ideas, I think for Yao's cultivation, it's better to call Yao over and let him say it himself." ”

Tang Shuai nodded: "Good way." ”

……

In the past two days, Qiao Hai exchanged a lot of ideas with him about the future development direction.

At the beginning, Yao Ming's own thoughts were: "With my height, I should develop in the direction of Shaq, right?" Like him, become a shark in the restricted area. ”

Qiao Hai quickly shook his head: "No, Da Yao, you're not right, think about it carefully, a tall man with a height of 2.26 meters and a weight of about 150 kilograms, do you think you can still play the ball?" Even if you can hit the ball, how long can you last? ”

"Or you can add weight, become O'Neal and play at the level of a superstar over the course of a season or two, and then what? Can you guarantee that with this height, with this weight, you can fight your entire career? Can you guarantee that you won't get hurt? ”

"Look at Shaquille O'Neal, in recent seasons, he has only played 60 or so regular season games, and the other 10 or 20 games, he is resting, do you think he is lazy? No, it's because of his weight, he can't afford a whole season of high-intensity combat......"

In this way, after being instilled with such a thought by Qiao Hai, Yao Ming also changed his original mind and resolutely refused to gain weight.

……

Yao Ming soon appeared in Qiao Hai's office, and when he saw that Rudy Tomjanovich was also there, he knew what Qiao Hai had come to him for.

"In terms of future development, I want to be able to be a technical center and rely on shooting to score and reduce the ...... of confrontations"

Tang Shuai quickly waved his hand: "No, it is definitely not possible to reduce confrontation, as a center, confrontation is very important, if there is no confrontation, you are a center with a soft style, no matter how good your shooting is, you will not be able to become a star player in this league." ”

Qiao Hai also nodded with Tang Shuai: "That's right, Yao, confrontation is still very important, but you can't gain weight, I think you have to strengthen your strength by not gaining weight." ”

Yao Ming nodded quickly, and Qiao Hai also told him about this.

Yao Ming's strength must be practiced, and speed must also be practiced, and only after practicing strength and speed can Yao Ming be in the NBA muscles. Survive on the inside around the stick, otherwise there is no confrontation, then Yao Ming is at most a Spencer Hawes or Andre Bagnani, who can only float on the outside to shoot.

Soon, under the discussion between Qiao Hai and Tang Shuai, as well as Yao Ming's affirmation, Yao Ming's future development direction was quickly determined.

Strengthen your strength through personal training, but you must not gain weight, you also need to practice speed, and in terms of technique, shooting needs to be further strengthened.

Qiao Hai also added: It's best, Yao Ming can practice the range as far as the three-point line, so that Yao Ming's threat will multiply!

Tang Shuai also proposed: "Joe, I think we can invite Hakim back and let him train Qiao Hai's footsteps." ”

Regarding Tang Shuai's proposal to invite Olajuwon, Qiao Hai was noncommittal, but finally agreed. 8)
