Deng Fang really wants Yao Ming to come back and join the Warriors!
Yao Ming's career was not smooth. He only reached the second round at most and suffered many injuries.
If Yao Ming was not injured, or did not have so many injuries, he should have achieved higher results.
He died before he left the army, which made the hero burst into tears!
For athletes, injuries are the most frustrating thing!
So Deng Fang wanted to cure Yao Ming's illness.
Secondly, many people say that Yao Ming is not suitable for modern basketball and fast-paced offense and defense.
Deng Fang also had different views on this.
Due to height restrictions, Yao Ming is not fast, and coupled with his subsequent weight gain, Yao Ming's speed is relatively slow among big centers, but this does not mean that Yao Ming is not suitable for modern basketball!
Why?
Because Yao Ming has a very soft touch!
As long as you feel good and can shoot, you are suitable for modern basketball!
Modern basketball is not only fast, but also very important, that is accuracy!
Yao Ming's shooting ability is very strong!
Old Rockets fans all remember that whenever the Rockets had a technical free throw during a game, it was basically Yao Ming who took it!
Yao Ming's career free throw shooting rate is as high as 83.3%, which is better than many outside players!
Yao Ming's mid-range shooting is also at the top level in the league. Data shows that Yao Ming's mid-range shooting is not inferior to Kobe's at all.
Even if it's a three-pointer, Yao Ming shouldn't have much of a problem!
If you are good at free throws and accurate in mid-range shots, as long as you practice hard and give enough shot rights, your three-pointers will not be too bad!
Although Yao Ming has only made 11 three-pointers in the NBA and only scored 2 three-pointers, Deng Fang believes that Yao Ming's three-pointers will not be bad!
Yao Ming has averaged 32.5 minutes per game in his career, 19.0 points, 9.25 rebounds, 1.9 blocks, and a shooting percentage of 52.4%.
Yao Ming's two three-pointers in his NBA career were against the Warriors and Bobcats respectively.
On March 21, 2003, Beijing time, in the Rockets' 117-107 away game against the Warriors, Yao Ming scored 23 points, 14 rebounds and 4 blocks. With 43 seconds left in the game, Yao Ming hit a three-pointer to face the Rockets.
The first three-pointer in his NBA career came.
It was not until 6 years later, on March 14, 2009, that Yao Ming hit his second career three-pointer in the Rockets' 91-86 away game against the Bobcats. In that game, Yao Ming scored 23 points, 8 rebounds and 3 blocks.
Yao Ming rarely shoots three-pointers in the NBA. That's because head coaches Van Gundy Jr. and Adelman didn't give Yao Ming this authority!
The big center has to go inside to score!
Even if you sacrifice flexibility, you still have to gain weight to reach the basket!
You throw a three-pointer from the outside, what do the defenders do?
These concepts are actually very old and do not conform to the trend of modern basketball at all.
If the center throws a three-pointer from the outside, the defender will have more room to break through!
Compared to a slow center, with enough space, a flexible defender has a better chance of scoring!
It is conceivable that if Yao Ming's career had been born in an era where small balls are prevalent, it is not impossible for this little giant to develop outstanding three-point skills with his good mid-range shooting feel and hard-working mental quality.
.
In fact, Yao Ming only rarely shoots three-pointers in the NBA. In the international arena, Yao Ming's three-pointers are still very threatening.
In the 2008 Beijing Olympics men's basketball match between China and the United States, Yao Ming hit a 3-pointer in the opening game. Many Chinese fans still remember that shot.
As long as you have enough shooting rights? Yao Ming's three-pointers will not be bad!
Lopez in history is the same as Yao Ming. He never shot a three-pointer in his early career. It was only later that he caught up with the small ball trend and was forced to transform. Only then did he develop a three-pointer!
Lopez's career free throw shooting percentage is 79.2%? Not as high as Yao Ming!
Even if it's a CIC? Lopez can't compare to Yao Ming!
Can even Lopez practice three-pointers? Not to mention Yao Ming!
What Yao Ming missed was just one chance!
In addition to three-pointers? Yao Ming's low post singles are also very powerful!
Yao Ming in his peak period was a big killer at the basket. Except for O'Neal, no one could defend him alone. Howard was even more explosive every time he saw it!
The 2009 Western Conference semifinals between the Lakers and Rockets? Even if the Lakers had insiders like Bynum and Gasol, they had to adopt double-teaming and forward defense tactics against Yao Ming!
That is the luxurious inside line composed of Little Shark and Gasol, who are proud of the league!
If Yao Ming is not injured, the winner of that round of playoffs is likely to be the Rockets!
Although the Warriors mainly focus on shooting from the outside, it is always a good thing to have one more killer inside!
Is Yao Ming's low post offense better than Lopez's? Not worse!
Lopez can get a lot of low-post singles opportunities in the Warriors? What if Yao Ming comes? With Curry and a group of outside shooters with both offense and defense? Yao Ming can get everything he wants in the low post!
Who dares to flank Yao Ming?
Yao Ming rarely enjoys this kind of treatment!
In addition, Yao Ming's pick-and-roll is also great.
With Yao Ming's size, he is like a wall during the pick-and-roll, can directly separate opponents and create greater offensive space for his teammates!
Yao Ming himself can either hit the basket or pull to the outside to shoot. With him around, the Warriors will have more offensive options.
Imagine how powerful Kuyao's pick-and-roll would be!
If Curry and Yao Ming pick and roll, what should the opponent do?
One is a big killer on the inside, and the other is a sniper on the outside. Which one should the opponent guard against?
Each one is terrifying!
Don’t dare to let any of them go!
A healthy Yao Ming is the player that all teams want!
Even Kobe once publicly expressed his sympathy to Yao Ming, hoping that he would join the Lakers and join forces with Kobe to compete for the championship.
But Yao Ming was loyal to Houston, and he ultimately chose to stay with the Rockets, which Kobe also regretted.
In short, if Yao Ming can join, the Warriors' lineup will be even more terrifying!
So Deng Fang always wanted Yao Ming to join.
But this idea never worked before.
Although Yao Ming was sidelined for a long time due to injuries last season and the season before last, Yao Ming is under contract. He is a Rockets player and the Rockets' top player!
Although the Rockets have not made it to the playoffs in the past two years, the boss of a weak team cannot be traded!
This is a system requirement!
In addition, Yao Ming would not agree.
Yao Ming is a very traditional Chinese. Although he has a cheerful personality, he has the fine traditions of traditional Chinese people.
One of the greatest advantages is loyalty!
Yao Ming has been with the Rockets since he entered the NBA. He has very deep feelings for the Rockets and has never thought about leaving the Rockets.
Even if he didn't make it to the playoffs, even if his team's record was terrible, Yao Ming never complained to the management.
It is unthinkable for such a player to leave the team during the contract period.
After all, not everyone is LeBron...
Another problem is that Yao Ming’s contract is too big!
Yao Ming's annual salary last season was US$17.69 million, which is a sky-high price, higher than James!
James' annual salary last season was only $14.5 million!
The NBA's salary cap last season was US$58 million. Although the Warriors did not exceed the cap, they were almost there.
If Yao Ming is traded, the Warriors will exceed the salary cap by too much and will have to pay a large amount of luxury tax!
This is unacceptable to the boss.
Deng Fang was not willing either.
Deng Fang is now the second-in-command of the Warriors and owns the second-largest number of shares in the Warriors. He definitely doesn’t want to pay a lot of luxury tax!
Therefore, after considering various factors, Deng Fang gave up the idea of trading Yao Ming last season.
But things are different now!
Because Yao Ming retired!
Retired players are equivalent to complete free agents and can sign with any team!
And the salary can be raised at will!
As long as Yao Ming agrees and as long as the Warriors want it, there will be no obstacles!
Of course, this must be agreed by the system.
Deng Fang asked the system, but the system had no objection.
Regarding the joining of retired players, the system does not provide clear instructions.
Since other players can join, retired players should have no problem!
The vast majority of retired players are old, weak, sick and disabled, and do not have much fighting ability!
Players like Yao Ming are special cases!
If the system does not object, of course Deng Fang will not let go of such a good opportunity!
The draft was over, the transaction was completed, and after hearing the news of Yao Ming's retirement, Deng Fang returned to China immediately.
With Deng Fang's current identity and status, it is not a problem to meet Yao Ming.
Yao Ming was very surprised by Deng Fang's visit.
Yao Ming had approached Deng Fang before and wanted Deng Fang to treat him, but Deng Fang rejected Yao Ming's request.
Although the two had communicated in private, Yao Ming did not force Deng Fang to treat him.
Everyone has their own difficulties. If someone doesn't want to, there's no need to force it.
Yao Ming's emotional intelligence is very high!
Moreover, Yao Ming also heard about Deng Fang’s temper and character.
Although he keeps talking big and looks arrogant, Deng Fang is very easy-going in his dealings with others in private!
Such people must have specific reasons for not treating themselves!
Originally, he refused to ask Deng Fang for treatment, but now Deng Fang actually came to him!
Yao Ming was very surprised!
Deng Fang didn't waste any time and told Yao Ming directly about his intention and offered to treat Yao Ming for free, but he wanted Yao Ming to come back and join the Warriors!
Yao Ming was even more surprised!
Free medical treatment?
Comeback?
Join the Warriors?
No matter which one of these three things is what Yao Ming wants most!
Even if they don’t come back or play basketball, no one doesn’t want their disease to be completely cured!
Although Yao Ming's left foot seems to be fine now, he knows in his heart that it is a time bomb. If he exercises vigorously again, his left foot is likely to relapse!
Yao Ming is very familiar with Deng Fang’s name!
As long as Deng Fang has treated any disease, not one of them has been cured!
Not only was it cured, there were no sequelae!
This is the result all patients want!
As for making a comeback, Yao Ming is even more willing.
Retiring is a helpless choice, it is done only when there is no other choice!
If possible, who would choose to retire?
Even if it's not for money, no basketball player wants to retire!
The vast majority of basketball players have a passion for this sport!
Although he just announced his retirement, it’s nothing!
Jordan came back twice. What does Yao Ming mean by doing this?
Yao Ming was even more surprised to join the Warriors!
Yao Ming was very loyal and loved the Rockets deeply, but that was before he retired!
Now that he has retired, his relationship with the Rockets is over!
If you can choose a team to join, almost no one will refuse the Warriors' choice!
It has won the regular season championship for two consecutive years and the championship for two consecutive years. The team's style is chic and elegant, and there is also a primary school student Ku Ritian as the boss. The team has many hidden benefits. Who wouldn't want to join such a team?
Just joining the Warriors is equivalent to booking a championship ring!
For NBA stars, who doesn’t want a championship?
The money is almost made, and the rest is the championship!
So Yao Ming was very surprised!
Or rather a surprise!
Happiness comes too suddenly!
Without much thought, Yao Ming agreed to Deng Fang's request immediately!
Deng Fang didn't waste any words. He took Yao Ming to a small room and cured Yao Ming's illness in just a few minutes!
Not only the injury to his left foot, but also all the minor injuries and ailments on Yao Ming’s body were cured!
Yao Ming suddenly felt extremely relaxed, as if he was ten years younger!
After truly appreciating Deng Fang's power, Yao Ming understood why the Warriors players were so convinced of Deng Fang!
He is really capable!
Deng Fang cured Yao Ming and didn’t receive a penny!
Yao Ming kept his word and immediately agreed to Deng Fang to join the Warriors!
As for annual salary, Deng Fang has the final say!
My career was extended by Deng Fang, and most of the money I earned later was due to Deng Fang!
And Yao Ming also believes in Deng Fang, he will not let himself suffer!
Deng Fang was very satisfied with the result, but he was not in a hurry to let Yao Ming come back.
Yao Ming has just announced his retirement. His comeback so soon is so eye-catching!
And it's not necessary.
The NBA is still on lockdown. Even if Yao Ming announces his comeback, he will not be able to play!
Not even if you go to Oracle players to train!
In this case, why worry?
Deng Fang told Yao Ming that he would announce his comeback in a few months.
Deng Fang will tell Yao Ming the specific time, don't rush!
Although he was not in a hurry to announce his comeback, Deng Fang did not just let Yao Ming go.
Deng Fang assigned Yao Ming two tasks: one is to lose weight, and the other is to practice three-pointers!
Yao Ming weighs a lot and is relatively busy, especially after his injury!
The female signs, the sun and the moon, are not something you just talk about casually!
The Warriors play at a fast pace. If Yao Ming does not lose weight, he may not adapt and increase the risk of injury!
It is impossible for the Warriors to deliberately slow down the pace of the game just for Yao Ming.
Other than that, just practice three-pointers!
Yao Ming can make three-pointers!
The Warriors attach great importance to outside shooting. Almost the entire team has three-pointers, and Yao Ming is certainly no exception!
The only exceptions before were DeAndre Jordan and Livingston. Now that DeAndre Jordan has been traded away, of course Yao Ming will join the three-point army!
If Yao Ming can practice three-pointers, the Warriors' offense will be richer, and Lowry and others' second team will have more offensive options.
In addition, if Yao Ming can throw more three-pointers from the outside, he will not have to play so tired, which can reduce the risk of injury.
Whether it's against the Warriors or against Yao Ming himself, practicing three-pointers is the best choice!
