Chapter Seventy-Eight: Advice to Da Yao
At 102:91, the Suns won the game with a comfortable victory over the Rockets on the road.
Wang Chao stood on the field and hesitated for a moment, but finally made up his mind and walked towards the little giant not far away.
At this time, Da Yao had just stood up from the bench, and the expression on his face was quite frustrated.
The Rockets' loss is directly related to his physical exhaustion, which only played 29 minutes on the court, and if he can guard the basket and provide consistent scoring in the final critical moments of the game, the Rockets will not necessarily lose this game.
Da Yao, who was still thinking about the problem during the game, was suddenly stunned, because he saw Wang Chao who took the initiative to come over.
"Brother Yao." Wang Chao thought about it for a long time, and finally chose this more appropriate title. "I have a little suggestion that I want to talk to you about."
"Uh...... Well, you say. ”
Facing Wang Chao, who took the initiative to talk, Da Yao was a little dazed for a while, and said subconsciously.
"Brother Yao, I know that it is the advice of the team coach to let you gain weight, but I think your weight should not be too heavy, after all, there is a gap between our Asian physical fitness and blacks, in the NBA, a fierce confrontation in a high-intensity game, the weight advantage can make you lethal under the basket, but the burden on your ankle will also increase."
"I think it's worth sacrificing a little bit of lethality to the basket for the sake of the long term, and you're going to save a lot more energy when you lose weight, and you won't be in the same situation as you are today...... Of course, this is just my own thoughts and suggestions, and it depends on Brother Yao's own judgment. ”
After finishing speaking, Wang Chao smiled at Da Yao and turned around and walked towards the players' tunnel.
Da Yao looked at Wang Chao's back with a stunned expression.
He really didn't expect that Wang Chao would take the initiative to talk to him.
When that incident happened, he once persuaded Wang Chao on the phone not to do it against the people above, there is no benefit, and sometimes it is necessary to compromise, but Wang Chao misunderstood that he was helping to talk over there, and hung up the phone directly.
Since then, Wang Chao has never spoken to him.
Da Yao actually understands Wang Chao quite well, after all, it was not his fault that incident, and Wang Chao, who was only in his early 20s at the time, was still a high-spirited teenager, and it was normal for him to have an impulsive personality and rather bend than bend.
Originally, Da Yao thought that Wang Chao would not be able to turn the corner until he was thirty or forty years old, but he didn't expect that after today's game, the other party actually took the initiative to release kindness to him.
"It seems that Wang Chao's personality has changed a lot after the Suns team played, in this case, is it possible for him to reconcile with the above......" Da Yao couldn't help but ponder.
Wang Chao's current strength, Da Yao saw it with his own eyes, even Battier, in order to defend Wang Chao, he also fought hard.
At that time, Da Yao sat on the field, watching Battier who returned to the bench at the timeout, his jersey was completely soaked with sweat, and he was extremely impressed.
There is no doubt that Wang Chao already has NBA-level strength, and he is quite outstanding.
If he can join the men's basketball team, the strength of the Chinese men's basketball team will definitely be able to reach a higher level, and the capital Olympics in two years will be more sure of results!
A few months ago, the '06 Men's World Basketball Championship was launched in Japan.
Da Yao led the Huaguo men's basketball team to fight hard, and finally fell in the group stage, only finishing 15th.
Da Yao, who averaged 25.3 points per game and won the World Championships scoring champion, was naturally very dissatisfied with this result.
You must know that just two years ago, in the Athens Olympic Games, the Chinese men's basketball team could still reach the quarterfinals, but two years later, it was only ranked 15th in the World Championships.
For this reason, Da Yao, as the captain of the men's basketball team, naturally wants this national team to become stronger.
In April this year, Dazhi finally returned to the national team and participated in the World Championships with the team.
Since Dazhi can return, then Wang Chao, who has the same experience as Dazhi, also has the possibility of returning.
Da Yao felt that Wang Chao took the initiative to talk to him, which was already a faint expression of goodwill and wanting to reconcile!
As for the content of what Wang Chao said, Da Yao felt that it seemed to make sense.
Not long after he gained weight last season, he began to suffer injuries one after another, playing only 57 games in the entire regular season, and the injuries that occurred were precisely in his feet.
Of course, Da Yao himself also asked the medical team and knew that his injury might have been an accident, but the burden of weight on his body was also one of the triggers.
Yao's team also discussed this, and everyone's views were the same, including Da Yao.
In their opinion, the weight gain is correct, last season was the best record of Da Yao's career, and he averaged 22+10 double-doubles per game for the first time, which are also the effects of the enhanced basket lethality after gaining weight for Da Yao.
Although excess weight may lead to injury, it is only possible, as long as you are careful on the field, take good precautions, and avoid injuries as much as possible.
Looking at the NBA, how many players are not injured? If you are really afraid of injury, you will not be able to play, and the most important thing for a player is to be able to play better in the limited peak period.
In the final analysis, Wang Chao is from the perspective of a traverser, knowing that Da Yao will retire early due to injury.
As for Wang Chao, he didn't think about it so much, and the reason why he said this to Da Yao was just thinking about what to do.
Whether his suggestions will be adopted by Da Yao, and whether Da Yao's career will be continued because of this, so as to have a better and greater career, it is all up to fate, anyway, what he can do has already been done.
Wang Chao never imagined that his initiative to talk to Da Yao was understood as another meaning, he never knew what happened to this player Wang Chao in China before he crossed over, but with his words with Da Yao, it is very likely to break the ice in the future relationship.
