Idle time is also idle, the two of them are warming up first.

After they entered, Yao Ming stopped warming up and introduced them to each other.

This is also the first time Lin Ying meets McGrady.

The term "superstar statue" is very abstract, but Lin Ying feels that the Tracy McGrady in front of him is the most vivid interpretation of this term.

The person in front of me looks like a fierce golfer.

Although his relationship with Yao Ming may not be as good as rumored, McGrady's character is still quite good.

He smiled and shook hands with Lin Ying and said some polite words.

Then, he looked at Durant.

The bigger reason why McGrady is willing to come is Durant.

Soon, he took Durant to play one-on-one.

Now the media is crazy about the fact that the NCAA has appointed his successor, and he needs to check it carefully.

Yao Ming and Lin Ying sat down in Changzhi and started chatting.

"Bang!"

After they sat down and chatted for a while, a loud noise came from the field.

McGrady easily passed Durant and scored with a split dunk.

The first step is really fast and the movements are really elegant.

They looked up for a moment.

Durant held the ball and wanted to attack, but McGrady interrupted his move...

"The strength gap between the NBA and the NCAA is wider than you think."

Yao Ming looked back and spoke.

Lin Ying nodded after a while.

To be honest, the scene in front of him of Durant and McGrady's one-on-one battle really shocked him.

He thought Durant had a chance, but he really didn't.

Especially after the transition between offense and defense, Durant can do almost nothing except pull-up.

Who said McGrady is bad at defense?

"You played against Oden before, you should be able to feel the difference in matchup, right?"

Yao Ming then asked.

Lin Ying nodded.

"In the NCAA you may only have to play once, but in the NBA, everyone you meet is Oden."

Yao Ming made an analogy, although it was a bit exaggerated.

"So you have to improve your confrontation first."

Yao Ming finally said.

Lin Ying suddenly knew why Yao Ming wanted to bring McGrady here.

I brought him in as a tool to give him a live demonstration!

"You said before that you wanted to play power forward, right? I think you can position yourself in a hurry."

Lin Ying was not surprised by Yao Ming's first words, but what he said later was a bit unexpected.

"You are different from me. I can only play center, but with your height and body shape, you can play both small forward and power forward. But the specific type of playing depends on which team you go to and the position the team gives you.

.

The biggest difference in the NBA is that you don’t have as many choices as before, so you have to learn to adapt and survive of the fittest.”

Yao Ming, this is true from experience!

Lin Ying nodded. What he thought before was still a bit idealistic.

"Gaining weight is the most effective way to increase resistance, but it is not the only one. Lowering body fat rate and increasing core strength are all methods."

Yao Ming then gave advice.

Regarding strength, the three most critical ones are: upper body, lower body and core strength.

Like Yao Ming himself, his upper body strength is typically average, but his lower body strength is at a historical level;

Howard, on the other hand, has a typical upper body strength that is at a historical level, but his lower body strength is average;

As for Lin Ying, Yao Ming also observed during the last training that his upper and lower body strength was pretty good, but his core strength still had room for improvement.

Therefore, if you add confrontation, training in this area will be the fastest effective.

Then the same goes for body fat percentage. A suitable body fat percentage can also improve resistance.

Lin Ying, took note of it.

These are the key points to take the test!

"Also, I see that you are a bit introverted, which will be a disadvantage in the NBA. You have to learn to take the initiative."

Yao Ming then made the second point.

"This is different from what you are in the NCAA. You know this is a professional league, also called a business league, and the coach's authority is not absolute. Everyone wants to perform. If you can't handle the relationship off the court well, you may lose the ball.

I can’t even touch it.”

What Yao Ming said is very realistic.

"But you are better than the United Arab Emirates. After all, you have played in the United States for two years, so the language is much more convenient."

He went on to say.

After speaking, he also shared a story with Lin Ying about when he entered the league to let Lin Ying know the difference of the NBA.

It was Yao Ming's first day with the Rockets, and Mobley handed him a basketball.

"Very small, right?"

At that time, he thought Mobley was talking about the basketball being very small, so he took it with a smile and nodded, saying it was very small.

Then a group of people in the locker room burst into laughter.

It turned out that they were teasing him on purpose, saying that his place was very small.

This can be understood as a form of discrimination, but this is the atmosphere of the NBA.

Because after saying that, Mobley specifically explained to him that this was how they usually chatted.

Including rookie pranks, Yao Ming was forced to carry other people's bags and even tie their shoelaces before.

This is also the survival of the fittest he mentioned before.

You can only learn to adapt until you are strong enough to change the environment.

Lin Ying nodded.

After one year of NCAA experience, he has actually changed a lot.

It may be difficult to be like Yao Ming, but at least he no longer resists communication.

"Oh, by the way, there is another personal matter. I wonder if you are interested."

After Yao Ming finished giving his suggestions, he talked about another thing.

And at this time, his interest seemed even more intense than before.

"Are you interested in playing in the Asian Championships?"

"Asian Championships?"

Lin Ying was stunned by the question.

Which one is this from?

"Is there a conflict between the Asian Championships and the Summer League?"

He thought for a while and said.

If he remembered correctly, Wang Zhizhi finally fell out with the Basketball Association because of this conflict.

"I know, but it depends on your personal wishes. You can work hard on everything else."

What Yao Ming said... was so domineering!

Do you still remember that Battelle did not appear in the national team again because of the conflict with Yao Ming, and what Yao Ming said to Sun Yue, "If you dare to walk out of this door, I will not allow you to enter the national team"?

This is Yao Ming's right to speak in the national team now.

So he really has an idea. It is not difficult for Lin Ying to join the national team.

As for the NBA, it depends on which team.
