Wen Hao quickly came to the training hall, only to see No. 11 already doing strength exercises there. The empty training hall only had the sound of training equipment "clicking" and No. 11's heavy breathing. Wen Hao was stunned at first, and then
I was relieved. A few years ago, when No. 11 was still in full swing, there were three people who trained the hardest in the NBA: Kobe, No. 11 and Garnett. Now that No. 11 has returned to the Rockets, he is still working so hard.
.One cannot help but admire his determination and perseverance.
At this time, No. 11 also saw Wen Hao, smiled, and said: "When McGrady and I played together a few years ago, his personal trainer said that after the game, do some corresponding strength training to strengthen the muscles.
It helps a lot with recovery and strength improvements.”
Wen Hao nodded, he had indeed heard about this. As he walked towards the center of the venue, he said to No. 11: "So I'm here to work hard with you."
No. 11 stopped to wipe his sweat and continued training. While practicing, he said: "Wen Hao, there are only two of us playing in the NBA in the whole of China. The burden we carry is very heavy, the hope of 1.3 billion people. Although this
It may not be our choice, but we are Chinese. From the day we chose the NBA, this burden has fallen on our shoulders involuntarily. We cannot escape, we can only provoke it or be crushed. I need you
Start it with me."
Wen Hao stopped for a step and turned to look at No. 11. He did not expect No. 11 to have such high hopes for him. After a moment of silence, he smiled slightly and said, "Let's pick it up together."
"Hmm." The word "No. 11" was not spoken with emphasis, but the firmness in the voice could be truly felt.
Wen Hao didn't speak anymore. He walked to the center of the venue and checked today's tasks in his mind. The information in his mind was: 50 kg bench press 10 times, push-ups 100 times, frog jumps 100 times, sit-ups
100 times, 10 sets of meter return runs.
After reading this information, Wen Hao's eyes widened. Although the amount of training is not very large, it is not small either. And it is already twelve o'clock in the evening. When these trainings are completed, won't it be just two or three
Clicked?
Wen Hao shook his head and glanced at No. 11 who was training next to him. Wen Hao finally made up his mind to do it! In order to improve his physique, to gain a foothold in the NBA, and to shoulder the so-called burden with No. 11, he must do it.
Although I don’t even know if I can still stay with the Rockets tomorrow.
While Wen Hao and No. 11 were sweating profusely in the training hall, the Rockets' post-game press conference was being held. Head coach McHale walked into the venue. He didn't look too good after losing the game and sat down silently.
Only two words were said: "Start."
The reporters off the court raised their hands to ask questions. The questions they asked were all about how McHale deployed his tactics during the game. They also asked many questions about the Sparks, Big Beard and Jeremy Lin. One person even asked
McHale's question about No. 11: "I would like to ask the head coach, No. 11 played fifteen minutes today and scored 11 points, 6 rebounds and three blocks. He has shown that he is a threat on both ends of the offense and defense. Have you considered changing him?"
Playing as the main force? If No. 11 plays as the main force, how will his and Howard's playing time be allocated? Or play directly in the Twin Towers?"
After hearing the reporter's question, McHale shook his head and said: "Everyone knows that the Rockets play at a fast pace. No. 11 may return to the top, but he is not suitable for the Rockets' system. I don't want to talk about this issue.
Talk more, do you have any other questions?"
The reporters were silent for a moment. They had finished asking all the questions they wanted to ask. They had all asked about the Rockets' big-name players and there was nothing left to ask. McHale nodded, stood up and left.
At this time, a reporter with black-rimmed eyes who looked like an intern suddenly raised his hand and said: "Please wait a moment, Mr. Kevin."
McHale paused, frowned, and sat back down.
The intern stood up and looked at the reporters around him timidly. Seeing that the reporters around him were looking at him, he quickly looked away and did not dare to look again. Instead, he looked down at his notebook and read:
"I would like to ask Coach Kevin. In the second half of the third quarter and the first three minutes of the fourth quarter, the Rockets used the Chinese's continuous assists to close the score to 2 points. But when the Rockets' main players came on the court, they were unable to close the score to 2 points.
These two points were recovered. Have you ever thought that if Wen had been left on the court at that time, the result would have been different?"
Having said this, the intern glanced at McHale anxiously. His question was equivalent to questioning McHale's employment, and maybe McHale would get angry because of this.
The reporters around were stunned for a moment. They did not expect that this reporter would ask such a question, which was actually about an unpopular character.
"Humph, you look like a stupid student to ask such a question." A reporter next to him whispered.
"This is what a kid who has never seen the world is like. He deserves to care about low-class characters." Another reporter also said with a smile.
The intern became even more uneasy when he heard what the two men said. It seemed that he should not ask this question. But after a moment, he raised his head again. Yes, he might not be a good reporter and would not follow others like others.
He followed the footsteps of those big names, but he dared to express his true thoughts.
McHale cleared his throat at this time. He had long expected that there would be reporters who would not open their eyes to ask this kind of question. Glancing at the venue, he said slowly: "Are you questioning my employer? My employer does not have any questions."
Question, I believe that any head coach would have let the main players play in that situation. Wen was right to pass good balls continuously in the third and fourth quarters, but when the opponent's main players are on the field, defense and offense
If we strengthen, can Wen still pass the ball like that? Which coach dares to take such a risk? Moreover, Wen made four turnovers in seven minutes of playing. Can such a person be used? "
These few words made the intern lower his head. After McHale finished speaking, he turned around and left the venue without looking at the intern. After the reporters around him glanced at the intern with a playful look, they also said
Joking and laughing, he left the venue, leaving the intern alone. He looked down at the data about Wen Hao in his notebook, feeling aggrieved. But after a moment, he raised his head, thinking about Wen Hao's performance tonight, and he closed the
He opened the book and said, "Wen Hao, I believe you will surprise everyone."
At 2:30 in the middle of the night, Wen Hao finished his last set of meter runs and sat down on the floor, leaning back with his hands on the ground. Big beads of sweat glistened under the light, and his chest heaved violently.
