For a yellow man, it is definitely a hard job to train his strength to the level of NBA interior confrontation, but it is definitely not impossible.

There are actually precedents before Zhang Feng.

That is, a few years ago, Yao Yao, who was also from China, was definitely a nightmare for every NBA team's insider.

Back in 2002, when the Rockets selected Dayao from China with the No. 1 pick, as the first international player to be picked No. 1, when Dayao first entered the NBA, in addition to his height and soft touch, he was really good in physical confrontation.

There is no advantage whatsoever.

Although Dayao can rely on his height advantage of being half a head taller than other center players to set up a no-fly zone in the interior to complete the defensive task of protecting the frame, he will always take a toll on his body in 1v1 confrontations with opponents in the interior.

Deficiency in confrontation, sometimes, the opponent will always use explosive power and physical confrontation to resist Yao and complete a strong attack.

Especially in his rookie season, the two direct confrontations between Yao Ming and the Sharks at his peak were more convincing.

In the first Yao-Shark game, Yao Ming had 10 points, 10 rebounds and 6 blocks. He also gave the Sharks three big hits in a row right from the start. This made O'Neal, who underestimated Yao Ming at the beginning and went straight to the strong fight, humiliated.

But O'Neal, who began to pay attention to Dayao's defense, then used his body to open the way, using his huge body and excellent body resistance to push away Dayao first and create enough space before taking action and using his body to fight.

To make up for the lack of height caused by the 10cm height difference.

After O'Neal began to play physical confrontation in the paint, Dayao had no way to defend. In that game, even though O'Neal had three big hits at the beginning, he still scored 31 points at the end of the game, 13

rebounds, beating Yao in personal statistics.

Two months later, in another head-to-head confrontation, Dayao continued to be brutally beaten by O'Neal in the paint even though his physical confrontation had not improved significantly.

O'Neal scored 39 points in the game, accounting for more than 40% of the Lakers' scoring.

As for Yao, with 6 points and 10 rebounds, he didn't even get a double-double this time.

This is the gap caused by physical strength. Facing NBA history-level center O'Neal, Dayao's physical confrontation limited his performance on both offense and defense.

But everyone knows the story that followed. As Dayao's body gradually gained weight, the Yao-shark duel gradually became a fierce hand-to-hand battle between the two best centers of the era. O'Neal also gradually recognized Dayao, the man from

The rising star of the East.

As O'Neal has gradually aged and lost his former courage, Dayao has gradually become one of the strongest centers in the league.

At his peak, Dayao left behind a legend of "eating, sleeping, and fighting World of Warcraft".

The man who could "single-replace James", when he met Dayao, his strength advantage could not be used at all, and he was crushed by Dayao in all aspects.

Although Dayao's peak period in the NBA was short-lived and he was tortured by various injuries and retired early, but during his peak period in those years, he also achieved the best level in NBA history at the center position.

And all successes are not due to Yao Yao's continuous strength training since his rookie season.

The so-called weight gain is definitely not about eating and sleeping. After sleeping and eating, you can just maintain your weight. It is about increasing the player's muscle content.

In this process, although a large amount of food needs to be consumed, things must also be specially classified and supplemented to convert them into muscles instead of eating junk food and accumulating fat to form fat.

When Yao first went to the NBA in 2002, he weighed 125 kilograms. His upper limbs, shoulders and back were very thin, and his neck was also thin. From the back of his head to his shoulders and back, it was a flat surface. He could only bench press 100 kilograms.

Two years later, Dayao truly became a dominant center in the NBA. He weighed more than 140 kilograms and his bench press reached 150 kilograms! Dayao gained 15 kilograms of weight, but his fat content dropped from 8% to 5%.

It’s all muscle! Is this the result of eating and sleeping? This is the result of Dayao playing hard with barbells every day!

Dayao really eats strength training. Every day when the Rockets train at 11 a.m., Dayao arrives at the training hall at least an hour and a half in advance. He practices strength training with the trainer for an hour first. After the strength training is consumed, Dayao goes

Practice technique.

In the era when Yao dominated the NBA, there was a consensus among strength trainers that the three athletes in the league had the hardest training: Kobe Bryant, Yao Ming, and Garnett.

Qian Chenghai said at the beginning that if Yao Ming can develop a physique like Yao Ming, there is no reason why other Chinese athletes cannot develop it!

For Zhang Feng, can Chinese people, the yellow race, develop a strong physique and strong physical resistance? The precedent of Dayao has already answered this question.

The rest is a matter of Zhang Feng's own training attitude.

It took two years of non-stop training for Yao to achieve his weight gain goal and become one of the league's top centers. As for Zhang Feng, this weight gain process will not be short at present.

It may take a season to see results, and 2 or 3 seasons to achieve your best.

After all, races are still different. In terms of pure strength training, black players still have an obvious advantage.

However, it doesn't matter to Zhang Feng whether the time is fast or slow. As long as he can practice it, Zhang Feng can persevere no matter how hard or tiring it is!

After all, Zhang Feng only started to train strength systematically when he entered the NBA. It's not that Zhang Feng didn't train strength when he was in college, but that without the guidance of a professional strength trainer, a player cannot achieve his best performance by training on his own.

training effect.

For players at the NBA level, if you want to be the best athlete, you must develop the potential of every part of your body and practice strength. You must also maximize strength training within the range that your bones and ligaments can withstand.

.

But this process is destined to be hard work. Maybe your hard training for a day can be ruined by a bottle of beer or a bite of fried chicken. Therefore, self-discipline, hard work, and scientific training methods are indispensable.

Zhang Feng can complete some daily exercises in the weight room or in his apartment alone. However, for strength training of certain parts, Zhang Feng has to make an appointment with the team's strength trainer in advance and work under his supervision and guidance.

Next, complete the most standard and scientific strength training method.

It is precisely because Zhang Feng has been training hard, working harder than others, and being strict with himself, that through the team's strength trainer's report and the growth of Zhang Feng's muscle mass test in a short period of time, Stotts,

Only then did Zhang Feng be chosen as the substitute center that the team focused on cultivating among the two new players Leonard and Zhang Feng.

Despite being able to maintain his flexibility and shooting touch despite heavy strength training every day, Stotts knows that the effort and sweat Zhang Feng puts in every day definitely far exceeds that of others.

Especially Leonard, who competed with him for position.

Everything is most afraid of persistence, hardship, and perseverance.

Leonard can train a lot, and the normal training volume for an NBA player has definitely increased. However, compared with Zhang Feng, his self-discipline off the court is too poor, and his training is not as good as Zhang Feng's.

Feng, maybe this is the hard-working spirit of the Chinese people.
