Hayes chatted with Gao Tongxuan for a while, ate a few slices of bread, and went out to the Toyota Center.

Although he was on vacation today, he still wanted to practice basketball for a while, and the tight schedule made him not practice alone for a long time.

When he arrived at the driving range, it happened to be his friend fat security guard Kevin on duty.

"Hey! Kevin, I'm coming. Hayes greeted with a smile.

Kevin was his first friend in the United States. After the start of the new season, they didn't have much time to see each other, only during the pre-season, they had dinner together.

Kevin was very excited to see Hayes, greeted him and gave him a hug, and said with a smile: "Chuck, it's rare that you still come to practice now." Don't have to accompany Taylor Swift or Chinese babes? ”

People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, Hayes is really hot now, and he can't hide from the scandal, so he has to explain: "That Chinese beauty is my economic person, and Yao Ming introduced it to me." ”

"Oh, nice Oriental Economist, nice. She was in the magazine with Taylor Swift, and the two seem to be on good terms, hehe, does she have anything to do with Yao Ming? Kevin gossiped.

"It's okay, Yao Ming has a girlfriend. This is the one he met at a Chinese gathering, and I happened to be an economist, so he introduced it to me. Hayes laughed.

"Chuck, you're so good, you can actually write songs, and you can become the number one single, my friends adore you. How are Taylor Swift and you? I heard she moved away, are you all right? ”

"She moved away because she was too famous, she was beautiful, it was not safe to live in an apartment, and after a while, she was afraid that she would have to hire a bodyguard. She went to a concert in other places, and it is estimated that she will release new songs, which I also wrote for her...... Hehe, we're a golden partner now, there's no problem, don't listen to the media nonsense, Hilton or anything is fake. Hayes laughed, "Why are people so concerned about me off the field now?" ”

"Because you've been acting so well lately. You can actually score 49 points, Yao Ming's career high is only 41 points, and Maddie's highest score in the Rockets is only 48 points, and you have broken all their records. I see if you keep playing like this, you're likely to be in the best team this season. I wonder if I can become an MVP. ”

"Haha, thank you for your auspicious words, I also hope that I can get the MVP. I'm getting better and better, and today I'd like to test the speed or something. I don't know why, but I feel a lot more physical. Hayes said smugly.

"Then I'll help. I also feel like you're fast, you can keep up with Gordon...... It's strange that quality is hard to change. Kevin said. He took out his stopwatch from the communication room and excitedly entered the training ground with Hayes.

Hayes first ran a few laps with the ball to warm up, although his body was still relatively stiff, but he was very skilled with the ball, and immediately after the warm-up exercise, he ran a 50-meter run.

Kevin stared intently at the stopwatch, trying not to make a single mistake. As Hayes strode through the 50 meters, Kevin exclaimed like a child, "Oh, my God! O my God! How is this possible? Man, you ran 6.7 seconds! You're only 7 seconds fast in training camp! How is this possible? You're turning into Dwight Howard! ”

Howard was born with a good body, and his physical fitness reached an inhuman level. That's why it's nicknamed Warcraft.

How strong is this guy's body? He not only jumps high, can kiss the hoop, but also can run like those spring people of about 2 meters, it is said that the fastest speed in 100 meters is 12.2 seconds, and Kobe Bryant's fastest is only 11.9 seconds.

Now Hayes runs 6.7 seconds in the 50 meters and an estimated 12.5-13 seconds in the 100 meters, which is not far from a superman like Howard, so it's no wonder he can keep up with Gordon.

If it's a skinny defender running this score, it's nothing. But Hayes, a strong man weighing 110 kilograms, can only be described as incredible when he reaches this speed.

What's even more terrifying is that Howard's bench press is only 160 kilograms, Hayes's usual bench press is 180 kilograms, and he can even challenge 190 kilograms if he is in good shape. Against the Warcraft, he still has a strength advantage.

Hayes was calm on the surface, and his already excited soul flew over the Toyota Center to shout.

It's so much faster, and it's not just because of the small steps I can keep up with the defenders, but because I'm getting faster.

I've gotten used to this body and I'm getting stronger. That's great! I am God!

Hayes couldn't help but smile and said to Kevin, "It's a little faster, but I still have a lot of shortcomings that need to be strengthened." ”

Kevin smiled: "Brother, don't pretend to be modest, the average data per game can be close to 20 plus 10 plus 6, and there are only three people in the league, you, James, and Garnett." And you're shooting higher than them, ranking fifth in the league on 55 percent from the field and 44 percent from three-point range, which is as accurate as Nash. You're definitely the monster stats of the league's first-tier stars. ”

Hayes sighed and said with a smile: "That's because every team has to wrap Yao Ming, if they come to trap me, my hit rate will definitely drop by 10%." ”

"Maybe you're benefiting from Yao Ming and Maddie to attract defense, but the stats are here, who would dare to look down on you? You're already a star. Kevin said firmly.

"Do you really think so?"

"All Houstonians think so, no, all Americans think so. There are very few experts on the news who find fault with you, at most they say that you are not good enough and not tall enough. You're the savior of Team Rocket now, and you'll have to sign me a few names in a moment, and I've got a lot of friends asking me to sign for you. Kevin said excitedly: "With you and Sean Battier this year, the Rockets are going to win the championship." ”

Hayes smiled: "Yes, Sean's defense is very good, his statistics are not pretty, but the Rockets can play this record, he is indispensable." I learned a lot of tricks from him, otherwise the defense would not be as strong as it is now. ”

"Houston fans are waiting to see the Rockets win the championship. Alas, now it's just the fear that you'll go to another team next year. Chuck, you're going to stay next year, right? Kevin asked solemnly, knowing very well that the Rocket boss was an old man who slammed the door like Grande.

"Don't worry. I just bought a house in Houston and as long as they give me a decent contract and a little less than other teams I'm going to stay, and I love it. You have to keep this a secret, otherwise it won't be good for the Rocket's top management to use this to press my salary again. Hayes laughed.

"If you keep up this kind of performance and they don't pay the maximum salary, I would advise you to leave, and the fans will support you. If the rocket lets you go, I think Alexander can die. His IQ is definitely negative. Kevin said indignantly.

Hayes was delighted and went in again to try his hand at jumping.

His dunk is also a little easier than before, mainly reflected in the speed of the rebound, and he can dunk with both hands after receiving the ball under the basket with a slight adjustment.

He rarely dunks in the game, because he is afraid of injury, although the dunk under the basket is much higher than the shooting percentage, his strength is very strong and not easy to be blocked, but the NBA's interior defense is too fierce, the last time he was hit by O'Neal, he has been afraid, if he falls into a serious injury for a dunk, it is not worth it.

The result of the test is that Hayes's bounce is really a little better than two months ago, although he still can't dunk any tricks, the one-handed backdunk under the basket and the two-handed back dunk are the limit, and he is already very satisfied.

If he wants to buckle the more difficult tomahawks and windmills, he may have to lose weight to less than 100 kilograms, and the bounce will increase significantly.

However, if he really loses weight, the inside line will not be easy to mix.

Physical fitness, including height, speed, bounce, strength, body coordination, flexibility. Most of the physical fitness is innate, and it is barely possible. But after Hayes was reborn, through training, in addition to his height, he had some improvement in other aspects.

After Hayes dunked, Kevin watched from the sidelines dumbfounded and said, "Man, I don't know how to describe you anymore." ”

"Then use whatever words come to mind." Hayes smirked.

Kevin looked at Hayes and said, "You're such a freak. A lot of players are more physical than you, but that's natural. A few months ago, you were a guy who could only rely on secondary offense, scoring on the rebound, doing dirty work and having a hard time dunking. But now...... You're the only person I've ever seen in my life who can make a qualitative change in physical fitness in a matter of months...... It's fitting that they call you Shrek. ”

Kevin's words in front of Hayes were very useful, and the back was a little depressed. "Dude, please! Why do you all think that nickname is a good fit for me? What the hell is the resemblance between me and that green guy out of the swamp? I don't have long horn ears. The American people should give me a handsome nickname, nicknames like The Flash, Peter Pan, and the Wolf King...... The Chinese fans are very affectionate, they call me Haiye! Black Whirlwind! ”

"Really? I think Shrek is a better fit for you, you're both awesome and have a princess girlfriend. Kevin insisted.

Hayes was helpless, and he vowed to find a way to make Americans forget the nickname Shrek as soon as possible, or remember other nice nicknames.

He's even more ambitious now, hoping to keep himself in good shape until he retires and aims to be in the Hall of Fame.

If he enters the Hall of Fame with the name of "Shrek", when he is old, he will be invited to participate in NBA activities, the All-Star Game or something, the host introduced: "Welcome to this guest, the legendary superstar, Rocket No. 44, 'Shrek' - Chuck Hayes!" ”

At this time, the audience applauded and shouted: "Shrek!" Shrek! ”

It's a great honor to be in the Hall of Fame, but if you really go in, you have to wave your hand and appear in hilarity, which is definitely a cup of the Hall of Fame!

Hayes was depressed at the thought of it, and he decided to start with the signature. In the future, the signatures given to fans should be written larger and clearer in Chinese. When people see his signature, they think of "Whirlwind", not "Shrek". (To be honest, the name Whirlwind is a bit cheesy, not as good as Shrek...... ）

After practicing for a while, Hayes was ready to go.

He's busy. In addition to Adidas's commercial, Gao Tongxuan also took on an event on TV, which Hayes found very interesting and decided to participate, although the show was only for dinner and was not paid.

When he arrived at the security room, Kevin took out more than a dozen things from the cabinet, including notebooks, sympathies, and even underwear with a female surname...... Let Hayes sign them one by one.

After Hayes signed it carefully, Kevin handed Hayes a beautifully packaged box and said, "You don't need to sign this, this is a gift from my niece and his classmates for you." ”

"Wow. I don't know what to say. Hehe, what is it? Hayes laughed that this was the first time he had received a gift from a fan.

Kevin looked embarrassed and said, "Take it apart and you'll know." ”

Hayes opened the box and found a plain crewneck t-shirt in the color of ......

"How?"

"Wow. I don't know what to say. ”

Kevin smiled bitterly, "Say whatever you want." ”

"I don't know! This t-shirt is simply handsome. Hayes smiled wryly with a bright "green" shirt.

I'm afraid I can't get rid of Shrek's nickname.
