NBA: The strongest physical talent, the inside is king

"Wow wow wow wow!"

"Bernie!"

"Have you seen Wang Ke's data in the summer league?"

At the Charlotte Sports Arena, Bobcats general manager Petty Tom walked into the head coach's office with an exaggerated expression.

"I saw it!"

"It's a bit...unbelievable!"

Bernie Bickerstaff said with a smile.

"Now I feel that our boss knows more about basketball than us!"

"We almost missed a real genius!"

Petty Tom smiled and shook his head.

He and Bernie Bickerstaff were somewhat [forced] to select Wang Ke with the second pick!

In this summer league, both of them paid close attention to Wang Ke's performance!

They also gave many greetings to assistant coach Stoe Crowder, and they must show Wang Ke's ability as much as possible!

They were really worried that Wang Ke would lose his ability!

After discussing it, Petty Tom and Bernie Bickerstaff thought that as long as Wang Ke scored 10+7 in the summer league, he would not be considered a failure, and they could slowly cultivate him later!

However, Wang Ke gave them a big surprise!

In 6 summer league games, Wang Ke averaged 31.6 points, 24.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 6.7 blocks, 0.3 steals, and a shooting percentage of 64.5%!

When he saw this data for the first time, Petty Tom thought he was dazzled!

Scored 30? Rebounded 20? Blocked 5? Hit rate 60%?

Are you serious?

Although the level of the summer league is indeed not high!

There is no cooperation between the players, and the teammates may be changed in every game!

But being able to play such data already shows a problem, that is, Wang Ke is unique!

"Petit!"

"If you see the data of the other two, you will feel happier!"

Bernie Bickerstaff said with a smile.

"Oh?"

"Let me see!"

Petit Tom took the information from Bernie Bickerstaff.

Dwight Howard: Played 7 games in the summer league, averaging 15.8 points, 10.0 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 2.0 blocks, and a shooting percentage of 46.1%!

Emeka Okafor: Played 6 games in the summer league, averaging 14.5 points, 9.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and a shooting percentage of 33.3%!

In the data duel, Wang Ke once again pressed the No. 1 and No. 3 picks to the ground!

Because the Bobcats intercepted Wang Ke, the Bulls were forced to choose Emeka Okafor!

Bulls General Manager Gar Foreman was really complicated at this time!

The old scout Peter Brandon is really good at judging people!

But they were [intercepted]!

Damn it!

"Although the data of the summer league can be inflated, it is not that meaningful for reference!"

"But Wang Ke started well, which is always a good thing!"

Bernie Bickerstaff said with a smile, he was in a good mood!

"No!"

"Data like Wang is really not something you can get just by wanting to inflate!"

"I'm a little curious, let alone rebounds, his offensive ability should be very average, how can he score more than 30 points per game?"

Petit Tom was very confused.

"Look here, he averages 11.2 offensive rebounds per game!"

"Relying on offensive rebounds and second-chance points, he can score more than 20!"

Bernie Bickerstaff pointed to Wang Ke's technical statistics and couldn't help laughing again!

Rebounding ability comparable to Rodman!

Height, weight, and wingspan, these three factors make it impossible for Wang Ke to lower his finishing rate at the basket as long as he occupies a favorable position in the interior!

The advantage in physical talent is too obvious!

This reminds Bernie Bickerstaff of [Shaq] O'Neal!

"Awesome!"

Petty Tom gave Wang Ke a thumbs up!

"Petty!"

"There is something I just want to talk to you about!"

"In the new season, how should we set our goals?"

Bernie Bickerstaff restrained his smile and his expression became serious!

Before seeing Wang Ke's performance in the summer league, although the two of them had not discussed this issue, the answer was actually obvious!

Every team that has just joined the league will inevitably encounter 3 to 4 seasons, or even more, of underdog periods!

Normally, the Bobcats' goal for the new season is to play badly, and there will be no other choice!

But now, after seeing Wang Ke's data in the summer league, Bernie Bickerstaff has a little more ambition in his heart!

Petty Tom also stopped smiling and started to think seriously!

…

"Awesome!"

""Hey——!"

In the capital of Longguo, Yao Ming also received Wang Ke's summer league data.

The more amazing Wang Ke's data is, the more regretful and unhappy Yao Ming feels at this moment!

Yao Ming knows that the people above have very high expectations of him!

But he needs help!

This morning, the Longguo delegation to the Athens Olympics was officially established!

The men's basketball national team will end the training camp and start the warm-up match training!

In the afternoon, when interviewed by the media, Yao Ming shouted out the slogan domineeringly!

[No shaving until you reach the quarterfinals!]

It's easy to shout slogans, but it's not that easy to do things!

In private, Yao Ming just felt that the pressure on him became greater!

...

Charlotte, the United States.

"Run! Run!"

"Pay attention to the use of your body! Be more refined!"

"You have a big frame and broad shoulders, you must learn to use them!"

"It's a very good habit to try not to jump on the defensive end! But sometimes blood caps and steals are also very good for morale! How to balance the two, you can understand it yourself in the game! "

"Don't be disturbed, no one can block you when you jump! What you need to overcome is the psychological [interference]! Why are Michael and Kobe's mid-range jump shots so unsolvable? It's because they firmly believe that the opponent can't block them! So they just need to keep their hands steady and shoot steadily! "

In the private training hall owned by Dell Curry, various on-field training is being carried out at a high intensity!

After the summer league, Wang Ke did not choose to rest, but continued to train!

Oakley, Dell Curry, Ewing and Rod Strickland formed Wang Ke's luxurious coaching team during the offseason!

Oakley and Dell Curry need no further explanation!

Rod Strickland is here to continue to cash in on his bet. Ball-handling skills are obviously not something that can be taught in a few days!

And Ewing was amazed by Wang Ke's performance in the summer league!

As the gatekeeper of the [Four Centers], Ewing has always been very concerned about the next outstanding center in the league!

So last season he joined the Rockets coaching staff and became Yao Ming's inside coach!

In his previous life, Ewing also accepted the invitation of the Magic and became Howard's personal coach!

In fact, after retiring, Ewing has been seeking the opportunity to become a [head coach], which is another goal of his life!

It's just that the road to becoming a head coach is a bit bumpy, and there are still many barriers. Ewing has no chance to achieve it at present!

Now that I have a good relationship with Wang Ke, who is in the novice period, it may not be useless in the future!

"You are worthy of being my good brother. You really fight hard in training!"

On one side of the training ground, there are three more burdens.

The Curry brothers and Kyrie Irving!

"What's the use of fighting?"

"Look at his dribbling, it's too clumsy!"

Kyrie Irving obviously still regards Wang Ke and the Curry brothers as [enemies]!

"Compare dribbling?"

"Why don't you compete with me in three-pointers? ”

Curry couldn’t stand what Kyrie Irving said!

You can argue with me, but you can’t argue with my brother!

“Let’s compete!”

The three kids started to compete!

This was just an episode on the sidelines of the training ground.

“You’re back!”

“Aren’t you asleep yet? You can go to sleep first!”

“I’ll wait for you to come back!”

Claudia naturally took the training backpack from Wang Ke.

“I learned another Chinese recipe today, tomato and egg soup!”

“Come and try it!”

Claudia opened the lid of the pot, and the soup was still hot, just right.

“Good!”

“Yeah! It tastes good!”

Wang Ke raised his eyebrows, it wasn’t a polite remark, it really tasted good!

This is a talent!

Chinese food is not easy to make for foreigners!

“That’s good! "

Claudia smiled and massaged Wang Ke's shoulders.

She paid special attention to the bullet hole on his right shoulder.

She knew it would hurt!

It was late at night and it would rain tonight.

...

On August 14, Wang Ke chose to rest for a day.

In Athens on that day, the Longguo men's basketball team ushered in the first game of the group stage against the Spanish team!

"Do the coach's deployment!"

"Let's go all out!"

Before the game started, Yao Ming gathered his teammates together and shouted loudly!

However, the story did not start well!

After barely holding on in the first quarter, the Longguo team quickly collapsed!

The Spanish team decisively attacked the inside line at the beginning of the game, quickly putting Yao Ming in foul trouble!

Bartel, who came off the bench, performed mediocrely. His slower pace on the defensive end than Yao Ming made it impossible for him to defend!

And the defensive effect of squatting in the inside was far worse than Yao Ming!

Mo Ke's performance was abnormal, or in other words,This is the normal level!

The young Yi Jianlian was aggressive, but soon lost himself on the court!

Shortly after the start of the fourth quarter, Yao Ming fouled out!

At this time, Yao Ming's data was 4 of 11 shots, 4 of 4 free throws, and 12 points!

"Fuck me!"

"Fuck!"

After walking back to the bench, Yao Ming suddenly ran away!

Seeing the towel handed over by Liu Wei, Yao Ming grabbed it and threw it to the ground angrily!

The bench of the Longguo team was silent for a while!

The atmosphere was extremely depressing!

Yao Ming looked up at the scoreboard and saw that the Longguo team was already 30 points behind!

A complete defeat!

Not only in terms of score, but also in spirit!

The bold words before the game became a deep irony at this time!

Yao Ming clenched his fists!

If Wang Ke could stand on the court at this time and guard the inside line of the Longguo team...

Why!

Why are there so many annoying things!

Why can't everyone work together!

Yao Ming remembered that Bartel took a few players to wander around Athens yesterday!

We are not here to travel!

Furious!

58:83!

The Dragon National Team finally suffered a 25-point defeat!

When interviewed by the media after the game, Yao Ming directly fired at his teammates!

"We just changed a layer of skin!"

"The heart has not changed!"

"We are no different from the black 30 seconds in the Asian Games final two years ago!"

"I don't feel hope! I have lost confidence in the national team!"

"If we don't fight hard, how can we win! How can we win!"

"I really envy those teams that can't be killed!"

"I really hope we can have such players!"

"Some people are bosses in the national team, I ask them to go back to the local team! Don't lead the national team astray!"

Yao Ming was obsessed and got too excited!

Such public bombardment put the Dragon National Team into a huge crisis!

It is true that Yao Ming is the only core of the Dragon National Team at this time!

But bombarding teammates like this is too inconsiderate of their teammates' feelings!

It is hard not to have a thorn in the hearts of other players!

Yao Ming was not completely without [selfishness]. He took the opportunity to vent his emotions to the Basketball Association, and anyone with a discerning eye could see it!

That night, Li Wei, the director in charge of the Basketball Association, came to the hotel where the team was staying and found Yao Ming.

"Da Yao!"

"It's a bit too public to be so public!"

Li Wei knocked on the table in front of him with a very serious expression!

"Director!"

"This time I will do everything I can to lead the team to qualify and make it to the top eight!"

"But I want to ask, is our goal always to win one or two games in the group stage by luck, and then qualify in a thrilling way?"

"Is that the end?!"

"We did it eight years ago!"

"I don't want to keep marking time!"

"I need help!"

"Four years later, at the Olympics at home, I ask Dazhi to return to the team!"

"Also, let him appear in our team!"

"I did it, I led the team to the top four!"

Yao Ming handed Li Wei a document!

A more detailed document than before!

Li Wei frowned and turned to the first page, which read, [Naturalized Wang Ke]!
