Chapter 440: A New Generation of Mass Killers
Prior to this, Yao Ming vaguely learned from his teammates that Chang Wei had a reputation in the NCAA, although he was basically hidden behind the scenes, but the Villanova troika led by Maddie thanked the same person in the draft, and he was not the head coach of the team, which is not a treatment that can be had by a casual person.
But when he experienced it for himself, he knew what kind of hellish training those geniuses had undergone. That's right, Chang Wei's training is absolutely hellish for the first-time players, three practices a day are put aside, and the most important thing is that he can only rest for a maximum of ten minutes during the training process, and players who are completely unfamiliar with his style will feel like death nine times out of ten.
Yao Ming felt very sick on the first day, although Tomjanovic had arranged a lot of training for him in the past season, hoping to help him quickly improve his strength, but he did not practice as hard as Chang Wei. Originally, Yao Ming thought that he had gradually adapted to the training intensity of the NBA, but when he met Chang Wei, he realized that he was still too naΓ―ve.
Physical training plus strength training in the morning, shooting training in the afternoon, and analyzing the videos of famous NBA centers in the evening are the compulsory lessons of Yao Ming's day. Chang Wei also took into account Yao Ming's progress in adapting, and he decisively took out a magic drink to help the young little giant recover his strength, which surprised Yao Ming, and he asked eagerly: "Old Chang, is this drink of yours safe?" I feel like I'm feeling energetic very quickly after drinking it, and it's not a banned drug in the NBA, right? β
Chang Wei smiled dumbly: "How can there be so many contraband?" Besides, I'm not going to fool you with these things! If you think I'm going to rely on banned drugs to keep you energized, you're underestimating me. From today until the end of the session, I will be serving three drinks a day, which will get you back to normal before the next training session starts. β
Yao Ming will be skeptical, but the drink Chang Wei gave him is indeed very effective, and the speed of recovering his physical strength is at least ten times that of usual, which makes him surprised, if he can also drink a sip or two in the competition, wouldn't it be invincible in the world?
However, when he told Chang Wei about this idea, the latter just smiled helplessly: "For some reason, this drink cannot be used during the competition, and if you insist on using it, the effect will be close to nothing." β
This explanation made Yao Ming stunned, looking at Chang Wei's serious expression, he didn't know if it was true or not, if he could, he would like to try it, but thinking about it, even if it is effective in the game, it will not win, so forget it......
The fundamental reason why Chang Wei is not stingy with the magic drink is that he hopes that Yao Ming can reach his peak earlier, but unlike the Rockets coaching staff, he intends to develop Yao Ming into another type of more forward-looking center. This is directly reflected in his shooting training program, and Yao Ming is already familiar with it, as he did in his previous life with the help of Tomjanovic and Olajuwon.
In Chang Wei's view, what Yao Ming needs most is to train long-range shots, and after being familiar with the large two-point shot, he can start the training of three-point shots. For this reason, he even took out the irregular shooting machine when he was training Reed in Philadelphia, it can be said that in order to make Yao Ming stronger than in his previous life, Chang Wei almost spent a lot of money, but this is also because this special training time is not long.
Yao Ming's shooting skills are actually quite good, but in the face of the shooting machine exchanged from the human potential development and repair system, he is still a little scrambling. Chang Wei also knew that he looked a little like this, but for the sake of Yao Ming's future, he had already let it go, and if he could improve his strength, it would be a good way.
After a few days of hellish training, Yao Ming's mid-range shooting skills have improved greatly, and Chang Wei has to admit that the greatest star in Chinese basketball history is still very talented, and he relies on more than just his height and weight. What's more, he has adapted to the irregular shooting machine, although it is much slower than when Reed used it before, but the latter is a professional outside shooter, and Yao Ming's ability to achieve such a degree is enough to surprise Chang Wei.
But Chang Wei didn't immediately let Yao Ming continue to expand his shooting range, muscle memory is very important for a player, and what Yao Ming needs now is this kind of muscle memory. After more than half a month, Chang Wei determined that Yao Ming's shooting in the high post had reached the level of threat, so he adjusted the content of the daily shooting training to three-point shooting.
When Chang Wei told Yao Ming that he was going to start practicing three-point shooting the next day, his whole face turned green, and he asked worriedly, "Are you sure you really want to practice three-point shooting?" I'm a center after all, what does it look like to shoot from the outside? β
Chang Wei smiled and asked rhetorically, "Do you know the 76ers' backup center Memet Oku?" β
Yao Ming nodded, and without waiting for him to answer, Chang Wei continued to himself: "Of course, I don't want you to be a center like Oku, after all, you are also a huge threat under the basket. But if you've watched him play, you'll know he's important in the 76ers' system, and one more way to score is a good idea, right? β
Yao Ming wanted to say something, Chang Wei patted his arm and said with a smile: "Da Yao, I think you can completely believe my words, and Rudy should not refuse his future interior core to have three-point shooting skills." And now that you're pretty much done shooting from other positions, can you think of any other direction than to go beyond the three-point line? β
Yao Ming was obviously confused by Chang Wei, and he accepted the arrangement of practicing three-point shooting in a daze. In fact, Chang Wei can exchange Olajuwon's player card for Chang Wei in the Miracle Mall, but unfortunately Yao Ming is not the player he is responsible for now, even if he takes out Olajuwon's player card, he can't use it, so let Tomjanovic worry about it.
If Yao Ming can successfully increase his three-point shooting rate to more than 35%, Chang Wei believes that he can become a new generation of big killers in the NBA, even if O'Neal and the like can blow him up under the basket, but can they pull to the outside to defend? Chang Wei believes that the development path he has specified for Yao Ming is the most correct, and although it also means creating a strong opponent for the Pistons, it is good for Chinese basketball. Chang Wei has been mixed in the American basketball circle before, but he really loves Chinese basketball, and he believes that it is his unshirkable responsibility to let Yao Ming go further.
