I'm really not a superstar

Chapter 123 Encountering a Bottleneck
The Olympic journey of the Chinese men's basketball team has reached its dream peak.

Afterwards, although they lost to the runner-up of the World Championships Greece in the last game of the group stage, and lost to the European powerhouse Lithuania in the quarter-finals, and failed to achieve a historic breakthrough, the Chinese team, with their toughness, Unity, fighting spirit, and the wonderful moments of scenes will always be engraved in the hearts of fans and become one of the best memories of Chinese basketball.

And the big brother Yao Ming who took the lead also realized his dream. He led the team to play the best game in the Olympic Games at their doorstep, and won a result not inferior to his predecessors!
After the Olympics, Yao Ming came to the dormitory of the men's basketball training team located in the Temple of Heaven Apartment on the South Second Ring Road of Beijing.

In the dead of night, he was lying on the bed in the dormitory with mixed feelings in his heart.

I finally realized my dream. I played in the Olympic Games at my doorstep. Facing the siege of European and American powers, I successfully broke through and tied the best record in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team.

For this dream, I paid too much and sacrificed too much.

For so many years, I have not had a good rest during the offseason. I have frequently shuttled between the eastern and western hemispheres, and I have been exhausted physically and mentally. It can be said that the frequent injuries in recent years have a direct relationship with it.

What should I do in the future?Is it to continue to be a trapeze, running back and forth?Or should we concentrate on achieving breakthroughs in another arena?
He couldn't help thinking of what old man Frank Billingbury once said to himself:
"Yao, for Chinese basketball, you are like a big crutch. But sooner or later, the crutch will have to be put down. Chinese basketball needs to adapt to the life without Yao Ming."

For the national team, I have done my best, and I have a clear conscience!As for the days to come, young people have to take over their own guns and learn to fight by themselves!
And myself, I want to go against the sky and change my fate on another battlefield, break through the curse, and realize my dream!

The next day, when Yao Ming left the men's basketball dormitory, he also took all his luggage, including a woolen blanket that had been pressed under the bed.

This wool blanket was distributed to every athlete by the organizing committee when Yao Ming participated in the Sydney Olympic Games for the first time.Since then, Yao Ming has been spreading it under the bed in the Chinese men's basketball dormitory.

Thinking about the Sydney Olympics, how young I am, beside my big brother Liu Yudong, Sun Jun, Zheng Wu, Battelle and others, I am still a carefree young man who rushes and grabs on the court.

Now time flies, time flies, I am 28 years old, and I have become a seasoned veteran in the national team!

It's time to leave, I have to concentrate on the NBA, where my dream is also there!
Yao Ming put away the woolen blanket and put it in his bag, together with the memories of his time in the national team.

Yao Ming strode out of the men's basketball dormitory in the Temple of Heaven apartment. At this moment, his national team journey came to a successful conclusion.

Next, in the new season, he will launch an impact on his NBA championship dream!

******
During the Olympics, Dorsey revisited those classic games.

Although the result of the game was not bad, roughly the same as in memory, the blood and passion still made Dorsey feel excited and shocked.

But what makes him uncomfortable is that in his previous life, he had to stay up late to watch the World Cup and Olympic Games held in Europe and the United States; now that he has traveled through time, he still has to stay up late to watch the Olympic Games held in his motherland.

However, after staying up all night and staying up all night, the daily training did not fall behind.

Although the Rockets are still on vacation, a small number of players have already started training at the Toyota Center Gymnasium.

Dorsey is very familiar with the players who trained in advance, and they are basically his comrades who fought side by side in the summer league.

Since it was still in the offseason, the coaching staff of the Rockets did not participate in the training. Everyone hired personal trainers, and they also practiced personal items such as physical fitness and technology.

Dorsey's trainer is old man Wang Weide, and the Rockets' administrative staff handled the access cards for them to enter and exit the training hall.

Under the careful training of Mr. Wang, Dorsey has made remarkable progress over the past year.

The improvement is mainly reflected in the basic skills. Whether it is shooting, dribbling or low-post offense, Dorsey has already looked good and has made great progress in technology. Progress has been improved even more.

The basic skills are like laying a foundation. Although it is usually not visible when buried deep in the ground, after a long time, there is a fundamental difference between reinforced concrete and adobe wooden strips.

Many streetball players look fancy, but their basic skills are not solid, and their skills will be deformed when encountering high-intensity games. This is also a big difference between amateur players and professional players.

Dorsey is well aware of the truth that "the ground is shaken by a weak foundation", and he has a far higher understanding of the importance of basic skills than ordinary black players, and he is willing to work hard to practice, which makes Mr. Wang very satisfied.

Once the old man drank too much and said, "Joy, sometimes I think you are a Chinese. This kind of down-to-earth and hard-working attitude is really rare among black players!"

Dorsey laughed, "Your old man has only met a few black people. Let others hear this, and be careful to sue you for racial discrimination! Besides, I have 1/8 Chinese blood!"

Dorsey's basic skills became more and more solid under the polishing of Mr. Wang, which also laid a solid foundation for his rapid progress.

However, as the training deepened, Dorsey found that he was about to touch the ceiling of Mr. Wang's training.

Mr. Wang Weide's training method adheres to the Eastern European basketball training system, combined with the long-term experience of Chinese basketball, born out of "three obediences and one big", emphasizing basic skills, these are undoubtedly the right medicine for a rough guy like Dorsey. .

However, after this year's special training, Dorsey's foundation has been firmly established, but it is a bit difficult to go further.

Mr. Wang's training method is mainly based on the accumulation of experience, not advanced theory, which means that the bottom line of his training method is not low, but the ceiling is not too high.

This is also a common problem of excellent domestic coaches.

As for technical training, due to Dorsey's weak foundation, there is still room for improvement. The old man can further adjust it based on experience and intuition.

But in terms of physical fitness and fitness, the old man is a little helpless.

Dorsey's physical fitness far exceeds that of Chinese players, and even his muscle types are different. Those traditional physical training methods have no obvious effect on his improvement.

Just like a college student, no matter how many elementary school application problems you ask him to do, it is impossible for him to improve his calculus.

Coupled with physical fitness and confrontation, it has long been a shortcoming of Chinese basketball, and old-school coaches generally do not pay enough attention to it.As the former national team coach Jiang Xingquan instructed, he even discouraged the practice of strength.

Therefore, the domestic basketball world has not been able to sum up particularly effective strength and physical training experience.

Regarding this point, the old man himself is also very distressed. He looks up books when he has time, and has been working hard to study advanced physical resistance training methods, but with little success.

Dorsey has seen several times that the old man in his 70s is wearing reading glasses, trying his best to gnaw on English training books, and he feels a little bit sorry.

I advised the old man not to work so hard, and read books by himself, but the old man looked like he was enjoying himself, and Dorsey could only shake his head with a wry smile, saying with emotion in his heart:
What a ball idiot!
Although Dorsey has a system, there are too many areas that he needs to improve. The sp value seems to be earning a lot, but it is obviously not enough when it is distributed on average.

Besides, advanced and scientific training methods can also allow Dorsey to improve his ability faster without consuming sp value.

Just when Dorsey was worrying about how to further improve himself, a powerful guy suddenly appeared and solved his urgent need!
