NBA: Yao Ming at his peak returns to his rookie season

Ewing is known as a prodigy in the NBA.

He was a star player who came through an era when training was the most chaotic.

Compared to today's training, which still needs to shout slogans like "science," "nutrition," and "health," their training back then was much simpler and more direct.

You either train until you drop, or you train until you drop!

But even in the era when Ewing and his teammates were so reckless, Yao Ming's approach was still very unscientific, the kind that would make Jordan shake his head in disbelief!

But Yao Ming insisted that the camera had to continue working.

Ewing was well-prepared for this training session.

After all, he was once a powerful figure in the region.

Besides the photographer and director, he also brought in two masseuses who are E-cup hunks. As for what kind of massages they give, we can talk about that later.

They also arranged for emergency medical personnel and medical staff.

Looking back now, Ewing can only think he was incredibly clever; otherwise, if he had actually practiced something, he would have been useless.

David Stern could kill him.

Since his rebirth, Yao Ming has never neglected physical training.

Compared to the original timeline, even without the attribute points provided by cheats, Yao Ming's average stats should have increased by about 5 points.

Don't underestimate this small increase.

That might be a level that others can't reach even after one or two years of hard work.

After all, you have to consider the impact on weight, muscle mass, and even the effects on explosiveness, speed, and jumping ability. Every training session has a multifaceted impact.

The Rockets have not released Yao Ming's stats for three months.

If they publish it.

The reaction from the outside world will be even more exaggerated!

The first training exercise was the stability ball push-up, which was already being done in Ewyn's time and is similar to a yoga pose that can improve core strength.

After setting up the exercise ball and blanket, Yao Ming applied the lightweight muscle tape and started working.

The standard training method is 12 repetitions per set.

Yao Ming needs to do 30 sets.

After the first round, Yao Ming was drenched in sweat, but recovered quickly and immediately went on to play the second round!

Ewing, who was standing nearby, was terrified.

After this, he planned to go and have a chat with that bastard Barkley.

What kind of training fanatic is this?

Training with this unfortunate kid must be a real ordeal for your heart.

After completing 5 sets, Yao Ming's muscles began to twitch uncontrollably, specifically indicating a deviation in core strength, making it impossible for him to stabilize himself on the ball.

"You need to rest; you'll get injured if you keep going like this!"

Ewing had never undergone similar training, but as a professional athlete, he was very aware of the limits of human muscle.

Yao Ming's current muscle condition is definitely a red flag for training.

"I'll be fine. I used to be really good at push-ups; I could easily do 300!"

"I don't believe you're bragging. I could only manage 200 on flat ground."

After chatting for a few minutes, the massage therapist immediately helped Yao Ming relax his muscles, and then Yao Ming stubbornly continued training.

The one-hour training session has ended.

The 30/30 notification flashed across the screen, indicating that Yao Ming's core strength had increased by 0.5!

Instantly, a warm current flowed through my tired muscles.

"Let's begin the second item!"

Ewing glanced at his watch, which had only been open for ten minutes, and felt even more strongly that Yao Ming was a ruthless person, especially ruthless towards himself.

The accompanying staff opened the parachute pack.

Three of them were worn by Yao Ming.

People who have never tried this can never imagine how tiring running can be, or how exaggerated the resistance can be. Even though he had tried it before, he almost collapsed after running less than 200 meters.

Yao Ming's goal is five times that of him.

Only Karl Malone at his peak has achieved this feat in the NBA.

Ewing had no idea where this madman got his confidence to challenge him.

After running 160 meters, Yao Ming rested, drank water, and was covered in sweat. Just as Eunice was about to happily announce the next photo opportunity, Yao Ming got up and continued running.

Wow, that's a really fast recovery! You were able to run again after less than 3 minutes of rest?

Running and stopping intermittently.

Yao Ming's second training session nearly caused his thigh muscles to explode.

However, the training results were also quite amazing.

In the later stages of the race, Yao Ming didn't accelerate; instead, he slowed down to maintain the stability of his core strength.

This time, it took me about 30 minutes to run the 1000 meters.

Ewing was already drenched in sweat. He realized that the big guy wasn't posing for a photo or doing this for a gimmick; this bastard was serious!

By the time the hard plastic flooring was laid and the fixing stakes were driven in, Yu Yin was already numb.

And they haven't noticed yet.

On the other side of the hillside, two young people who had come to camp had just slipped their hands inside their girlfriend's jeans when the boy turned her around to face away, only to hear her exclaim, "There's someone over there!"

"They can't see! This is more exciting, come on, baby... Holy crap, is that Yao Ming?!"

The two young men, who had just been planning to do something, excitedly picked up the video camera they were carrying.

As for why I brought this thing... it's not important!

Anyway, once the resistance band was tied, Yao Ming put his arms around his head and started doing cross-step training, which made people feel numb in their backs.

"You're a lunatic, you're a complete lunatic!"

Ewing was so startled he almost made a sound, as were the two trainers beside him.

This is not the level of training that a normal human being should receive.

Yao Ming not only wanted to complete it, but he wanted to complete it perfectly!

In the latter half of the 20 sets, Yao Ming was lying down, which was his limit. If it weren't for the extra help that helped him recover from muscle fatigue after each training session, Yao Ming would probably have been ruined long ago.

However, mental fatigue can also accumulate.

It took Yao Ming half a day to barely get up and continue training, and the muscles in his entire leg were trembling unnaturally.

"You, you bastard, never contact me during training again! I never want to watch you train again, damn it, I'll have nightmares!"

Yao Ming, that monster, has been training for the past three hours.

After the crossover step comes the abdominal exercise.

He even wore dumbbells.

His massive body rose from the specially made horizontal bar, a moment that would later serve as a candle for those who would face Yao Ming in the paint.

For Ewing, the force Yao Ming could generate was already terrifying.

The core of a battle under the basket is footwork and agility. These are fundamental; without them, no matter how strong you are, you can't score.

As a professional, Ewing is certain that Yao Ming is at an excellent level in this regard.

Especially the agility of footsteps and dynamic vision.

That's ridiculously powerful.

If footwork and agility are indicators, then strength comes next. This is Yao Ming's weakness. He is too tall, and his natural center of gravity is also higher than others when he exerts force with his buttocks.

It doesn't matter if you're beating a noob; you can hit them with your butt.

However, to compete in the highest level of battles, one needs not only skill but also a much larger core strength.

With time, Ewing felt that Yao Ming wouldn't be too bad either.

But as Yao Ming began to do sit-ups and crunches, Ewing knew that it wouldn't be long before the league's top centers would also learn to fear this monster.

He is glad that he has retired now, so he doesn't have to share the stage with monsters like Yao Ming and Shaquille O'Neal.

However, there is also a slight regret.

If Yao Ming possessed the core strength of players like Karl Malone and Tim Duncan, his resilience would be much higher, and he would be able to make more moves.

Normally, Yao Ming would generate 900-1200 pounds of force when he hits a ball.

Yao Ming has such terrifying core strength.

It should increase to at least 1200-1500 pounds!

Even at his peak, Ewing only had this many stats.

Yao Ming is only in first grade, just starting to eat meat, and just beginning to adapt to this strange and cruel world.
