Chapter 414: Marlon's Heart
(Ask for a commuter pass)
Rookie Wall, this is a 'joke' that has been circulating in the NBA, and most coaches in the NBA's coaching circle have given a new name to the 'Rookie Wall', a very vivid new name, 'Ordinary Player Transformation Period'. []
As the name suggests, the transformation period of an ordinary player is the day when an ordinary player transforms, for most young rookies they have never played such an intensive game as the NBA in their previous basketball careers, and they have not played such an intense game as the NBA, for these people this is a mental and physical adaptation process, especially after mental and physical fatigue adjustment process, this thing only has an impact on the average rookie, if it is O'Fat, Duncan, It is impossible for a rookie like Carter to touch the rookie wall, and then for those players who can't even play the game, they don't have the opportunity to touch the rookie wall, only those players with ordinary strength, but not low status in the team have huge physical and psychological fatigue in the face of huge pressure, and the so-called rookie wall will appear, in fact, this so-called rookie wall is untenable in the coach's circle, for most coaches don't care about this thing, Zhuang Fei naturally doesn't really care about this thing, This thing is just exaggerated by many media experts, not to mention rookie players, it is normal for any other player to have ups and downs in form, and it is also normal for psychological fluctuations, but because the mental and physical adjustment ability of rookie players has been relatively weak, so the symptoms are slightly greater.
Of course, now Yao Ming is this problem, because his status within the team has risen rapidly, his responsibilities are heavier, and the opponent's pertinence towards him has also been strengthened, and this series of changes have made this Chinese a little uncomfortable. In fact, Zhuang Fei had already prepared for Yao Ming's situation. So Yao Ming had such a thing, and Zhuang Fei didn't worry too much.
Although Zhuang Fei didn't worry too much about Yao Ming's recent performance, Yao Ming himself didn't think so, and the young center was constantly beating the drum in his heart after getting the news from Stephen Green that the coach was looking for him. It was obvious that he was wondering if his compatriot head coach was going to take a knife on him, such as letting himself play as a substitute, or reprimanding himself.
"Hey. I hope the coach won't be too angry," when Yao Ming got closer and closer to Zhuang Fei, the inside lineman also sighed a little in his heart.
He is a little in awe of his head coach from the bottom of his heart, in his opinion, his coach is the kind of coach who 'eats people and does not spit out bones', and his straight face can frighten a group of people, for Yao Ming, he really hopes to be able to be under Zhuang Fei without seeking merit but without fault, but now he thinks that his current state and situation are really wrong.
When Yao Ming came to Zhuang Fei's office with a heavy heart, the center's mood calmed down a lot, and when he saw that Zhuang Fei's office door was ajar without a lock, the center knocked a few times politely or loudly.
Although he usually doesn't come to Zhuang Fei's office, Yao Ming also knows that others don't need to knock on the door when they enter Zhuang Fei's office. It's good to push it forward, but Yao Ming obviously doesn't have such a release, and from this point of view, he is still a little uncomfortable with life in the United States. Or maybe this Chinese insider still maintains his previous habits in the subconscious of his heart and does not integrate here. []
"Come in. Da Yao"
Just as Yao Ming knocked on the first sound, Zhuang Fei looked up at the door, and the big Chinese man was already standing there. At this time, in Zhuang Fei's eyes, the big Chinese boy was a little anxious and apprehensive, and seeing Yao Ming's look, Zhuang Fei also smiled in his heart. …,
Of course, Zhuang Fei is now looking at Yao Ming with a smile, and Yao Ming is also looking at Zhuang Fei, and there is nothing unpleasant about Zhuang Fei's face. Then he also walked into Zhuang Fei's office.
"Sit down" Zhuang Fei said with a smile to the big man in front of him again, this big man stood in front of Zhuang Fei and directly covered Zhuang Fei's whole person, and his height of 2.26 meters was indeed unusual.
"You haven't been doing well lately, are you having any difficulties?" After Zhuang Fei saw Yao Ming sit down, he also asked the big man his first question.
Hearing Zhuang Fei ask, Yao Ming was also stunned, in his imagination at this time, Zhuang Fei should give him a head and face to give him a beating, if the performance of the players in the team was poor in the CBA before, or a long-term downturn would lead to such a situation, but this time Zhuang Fei's performance was a little unexpected, this is the first time Yao Ming communicated with Zhuang Fei in such a situation, so he didn't know much about Zhuang Fei's style of acting.
Although Zhuang Fei doesn't give him any sense of pressure now, Yao Ming himself is now a little unable to get around this bend, he knows that the coach is deliberately cultivating him, but he is very uncompetitive and behaves like this, this is undoubtedly a slap in the face of Zhuang Fei's trust, Yao Ming is a little bitter about his own 'embarrassing performance', and he doesn't know how to answer Zhuang Fei's question for a while.
"Da Yao, you are an important player of the team, you are also the guarantee of the team's internal line, you are very important to us, I think you are also very clear about your position in the team, right?" Zhuang Fei was not too surprised to see Yao Ming's current performance, and then asked again in Yao Ming's silence, this time Yao Ming was not silent but nodded fiercely, expressing his agreement with Zhuang Fei's statement.
"Da Yao, do you remember the scene when we first met," Zhuang Fei suddenly changed the topic again and said with a smile.
"Remember" Yao Ming nodded again, the scene of that meeting Yao Ming is still unforgettable, at that time the Chinese in front of him gave him a jersey autograph with 'future NBA No. 1 center', for this souvenir he has always treasured as a treasure at the bottom of his box, in Yao Ming's opinion, Zhuang Fei's line of words is just to encourage him, so he will not take that encouraging words seriously, naturally it is impossible for others to see that line, in that summer Yao Ming in addition to giving a piece that inspired him for his life' In addition to the word 'one line', he also found him a master who changed his life 'McHale', it can be said that that summer was the most important summer in his basketball life, and it is impossible for Yao Ming to forget that summer, and he also dare not forget.
"Actually, the first time I saw you, I always had the feeling that we were going to meet again in the NBA. In my eyes, you are one of the protagonists of the future NBA. It's a guy like O'Neill. Carter, a Duncan-like protagonist, has a bright future ahead of you. It's not even worse than Maddy, and I think you remember the inscription I put on your jersey that I used to say that you would be the No. 1 center in the NBA. That's what I think in my heart, I feel this way, I think you can be one of the best interior players in the NBA, so I've always been reassured about you."
When Zhuang Fei finished saying this, Yao Ming in front of him was already in a sluggish state, no matter which aspect of Zhuang Fei's sentence was interpreted, Yao Ming was a little overwhelmed, the first center in the NBA? One of the best interior lines in the NBA? One of the main characters in the NBA? How is this possible.
It's just that Zhuang Fei didn't seem to pay attention to Yao Ming, who was still sluggish at this time, and continued.
"But I'm a little disappointed in your current state, I'm not disappointed in your performance, but disappointed in your inability to see your own worth, you still haven't understood how powerful you are. Your current goal is too low, if you just set your own goal at the same height as Wang Zhizhi, then I can conclude that. You will never be able to surpass Wang Zhizhi"...,
Just when Yao Ming was already a little sober. Zhuang Fei's words made his mind a little dizzy again.
Is the goal too low? Don't know enough about yourself? You should make yourself more motivated, so where should your motivation and goals be? Yao Ming is not a stupid person. Some time ago, he was indeed a little confused, he was not sure if he could have the ability to complete the responsibility given to him by Zhuang Fei, and he was not sure whether he had the strength to become one of the cores of this team, his main goal in the NBA was to surpass Wang Zhizhi, as for other things, he was not sure about what he was also not sure about. To put it bluntly, I'm still not very confident in myself.
"Coach, can I ask you a question?" Yao Ming looked at Zhuang Fei's somewhat blamed eyes, secretly paid attention to it in his heart, and then said to Zhuang Fei with some caution.
"You ask," Zhuang Fei was also stunned for a moment, and then nodded lightly. Seeing Zhuang Fei like this, Yao Ming also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"Coach, what is your definition of me, what is your definition of Wang Zhizhi?" Yao Ming didn't avoid Zhuang Fei's gaze anymore at this time, but plucked up his courage, this question was very important to him, he knew that only after crossing this problem could he really let go of the shackles and burdens in his heart and move forward.
So after asking this question, Yao Ming felt that his heart was also hanged, and then he also looked at Zhuang Fei with some expectation, but at this time, his head coach was silent for a long time, and finally when Yao Ming couldn't hold on in his heart, the coach was ready to speak.
"I have just said, your goal should be the first center in the league, just like O'Neill now, and Wang Zhizhi will never be able to reach such heights, you are not destined to be a level of character, you are not a person of the world, this is my answer, are you satisfied?" Zhuang Fei glanced at Yao Ming deeply and said with a smile.
"I know, coach" Yao Ming also showed a wry smile after hearing Zhuang Fei's answer, it turned out that the goal he had been pursuing in his life was so wrong that he was even considered by the coach to be off track.
"In that case, I think you should know what you should do," Zhuang Fei also said with a smile again. And Yao Ming also nodded after pondering for a moment at this time.
"Coach, I will take the responsibility you gave me, but recently I have been feeling tired in my body, especially in the last few games, in the past when my physical fitness played 36 minutes was no problem at all, but now I find that my physical fitness is difficult to maintain competitive condition and play 30 minutes" Yao Ming said that at the end, he also showed a trace of bitterness.
In fact, Zhuang Fei also noticed this problem, the intensity of Yao Ming's games in recent games is incomparable with before, he is now the opponent's key defense object, in this case, it is good to be able to maintain a high level of 30 minutes, if it is not to say 30 minutes in the playoffs, even if it is 25 minutes, it is difficult, this is also a common problem of all big centers, and the yellow race is especially serious, not every big man can play an average of 45 minutes per game in the finals like Ao Fat, that is talented, Most people are still like Yao Ming.
"You don't have to worry about this, I will rearrange the training method for you, I believe it will slowly get better in the future" Zhuang Fei finally said to Yao Ming with a smile, and Yao Ming was also a little relieved after seeing Zhuang Fei's confident expression. For some reason, he has great trust in the coach in front of him.
After solving Yao Ming's problem, Zhuang Fei also chatted with Yao Ming about many other aspects, such as life, etc., and Zhuang Fei's understanding of this big man has also increased a lot. …,
In the end, when Yao Ming left Zhuang Fei's office, Zhuang Fei opened his dynasty system, and then clicked into the inventory, and the 'Marlon Heart', which had been shelved for a long time, appeared in front of Zhuang Fei's eyes again

Today is the 23th game of the season for the Celtics, and in the first 22 games, the Boston Celtics are in first place in the East with an 18-4 record, and they will face the Bulls, who are currently in last place in the East, and this team recently played an extremely tough game at home against the Boston Celtics, in which Chicago's Twin Towers defeated the Boston Celtics' Twin Towers.
So for this away game, the Bulls are also holding back a lot of energy, and this team is obviously ready to avenge the revenge not long ago.
But what makes the Bulls players a little depressed is that they can still blow up the opponent's interior in the last game, but this game is completely blown up by the opponent, Eddie Curry, who played super God in the last game, was only 10 points defended by Xiao Ao in this game, and Chandler, who defended Yao Ming extremely painfully in the last game, once again experienced the feeling of being blown up by Yao Ming when he was 16 years old.
The Boston Celtics finally defeated the Chicago Bulls 110-79 in this game, the Boston Celtics only took three quarters to solve the battle, Yao Ming, a big center who has been performing poorly some time ago, contributed 18 points and 7 rebounds in 28 minutes in this game, and the team's boss Maddie continued the quasi-triple-double performance, scoring 16 points, 9 assists and 7 rebounds, and the most happy thing about Zhuang Fei in this game is that the team once again had 7 people scoring double-doubles, Kirilenko and Arenas' second lineup is also getting more and more familiar.
