In fact, this is not the first time that Yang Jian has replaced someone with a different body shape than his own. In the 2015 Qiyong finals, he replaced Jr. Smith, who was 198cm tall.
But that time he was too busy escaping from the earthquake that he didn't play a single game, and his attention wasn't on his height at all.
In Yang Jian's world, Shaquille O'Neal is extremely unlucky. He has never won a championship and was swept in several playoffs. He has only played in two finals with the Magic and Heat in his career, and was swept both times.
Now when fans mention O'Neal, the first thing they think of is his disgraceful and swept series. Countless people think that his strength is overestimated and that he has a bad professional attitude.
In the parallel world, O'Neal is prosperous. He has won four championships as a core player in his career, and has one regular season MVP and three FMVPs.
After Yang Jian washed up, she went out wearing the Magic's training uniform.
Looking at the system introduction, tonight is the first game of the Finals, and it will be held at Amway Arena, the home of the Magic. He is now in his "own" home. Fortunately, he does not live with his parents, otherwise it would be very embarrassing to get along with strangers.
He didn't know if there was any training, and memories would not be received through time travel. But he planned to go to the gym to practice ball in the morning and experience his new body.
Having been to Orlando countless times, Yang Jian knew where the Amway Arena was and chose a Mercedes-Benz sports car in the garage. His identity was exactly the same as O'Neal in the parallel world, but his name was different and he became Chinese.
O'Neal's biggest hobby is collecting luxury cars. This habit can be seen after he received the salary of his first contract. When he got his first pot of gold as a rookie, O'Neal immediately went to the Mercedes-Benz 4S store and bought three Mercedes-Benzs.
I drive one myself and gave the remaining two to my parents, very filial piety.
Yang Jian thinks his car is very beautiful. The only problem is that he has to stuff meat into the car before driving.
It was only around 7 a.m. when he arrived at the arena, and the staff who opened the arena door for him was shocked. It was the first time he saw Shaquille Young come to the arena to train so early, and he even practiced extra.
In the past, the Magic players had to practice extra in order to play well in the finals, but Shacklebolt was as lazy as ever.
Unexpectedly, Shakur also did it today.
Yang Jian only practiced for a while and felt that this finals was not difficult. He had become taller and his arms were too thick to close together, but the system-certified shooting accuracy was still there. After he got used to the new height and strength, he quickly
Can hit jump shots.
With his shooting accuracy, even one-handed three-pointers from the outside are much more accurate than the original O'Neal. What's even more frightening is that Yang Jian's physical fitness is still at full 100, but his flexibility has decreased.
He is now 216cm tall and weighs 133 kilograms. He cannot be as flexible as when he was 193cm tall and weighed 90 kilograms. But after he gained more than 40 kilograms of weight, his strength became even more amazing, which is the top level for a person of his size.
Yang Jian, who has the body of a guard, can't handle Yao Ming and a heavy center like O'Neal. He can only pray for the opponent's shot to miss if he is misplaced in defense. Now he doubts that he can knock those two players away from the parallel world with just a single effort from his back.
What's even more terrifying is his straight-line acceleration. He runs as fast as a defender, definitely faster than the original O'Neal.
Yang Jian is completely inhuman with this body. How can his opponent defend him?
How does his physical fitness compare to that of a big shark? When he rushes, he clearly feels like a red tank. If you want to deal with him, unless the opposite center is the Hulk, Colossus will be hammered.
Not only can I beat Olajuwon, but I can also tear Hardaway apart. Hey, how could I have such an idea?
After practicing shooting for half an hour, Yang Jian has a general understanding of his current shooting level. Forget about guaranteeing a hit rate two meters from the three-point line, he is still very accurate near the three-point line. His mid-range shot will be less affected.
Occasionally, the buff of shouting twice and the iron-blooded jump shot will increase the hit rate.
He had a great time playing with his new body. He practiced for more than an hour without realizing it, and he wasn't bored at all.
After he got familiar with his body, the content of his training gradually began to change. He tried a self-throwing and self-dunking windmill dunk, a reverse 360-degree dunk, and a crotch-switching dunk.
Yang Jian can not only do tricks, but also effortlessly. If he completes a crotch dunk during a game, people on the Rockets will probably call the police and tell the police that there is an alien monster here.
Amare Stoudemire can switch from his crotch to his back for a dunk. His jumping ability is not top-notch, and his wingspan is far inferior to O'Neal.
Yang Jian practiced one-handed free throws for a while, and at 8:30, his teammates came one after another.
Everyone was surprised to see Yang Jian coming to training first, and even more stunned to see him hitting consecutive free throws with one hand and having a soft shooting touch. Many people rubbed their eyes, doubting that they had woken up.
When the group competition began, coach Brian Hill's jaw dropped and his expression was even more stupid than that of SNL's Chad.
In a parallel world, Brian Hill is at his peak when he debuts, and the early stages of his coaching career are like a "Vampire Diaries" episode.
He coached O'Neal when he debuted. His regular season winning rate in the first three seasons was never lower than 60%, reaching 73.2% in the 1995-96 season. He led the team to the finals once and became a popular candidate for the best coach.
, and then nothing happened. Once O'Neal left, his team's winning rate never reached 50% again until he was completely laid off.
Interestingly, Hill prefers Hardaway and believes that Hardaway is the future of the Magic.
During the 1996 playoffs against the Bulls, there was news that O'Neal asked the team's top management to replace Hill with Chuck Daly. O'Neal disliked Hill, but the Magic boss didn't care at all. The boss thought Hill was very good.
, after the Magic were swept by the Bulls, Hill quickly got a two-year, $3 million contract extension.
It's obvious that anyone named Hill is connected to the Magic and can make free money from the boss.
It was too easy for Yang Jian to challenge two Magic insiders, Brian Grant and Jeff Turner, today. When he got the ball, he squeezed the opponent with his back and flew away. Then he turned around and dunked.
He experienced O'Neal's joy. This violent style of play was more fulfilling than hiding and fighting, because it relied on physical fitness to bully people, leaving the opponent helpless.
After a few rounds of fighting, Grant, who was knocked to the ground, got up and said he was quitting. "Shackle, do you have any objections to me? It's just training, do you need to work so hard?"
Yang Jian smiled and said: "Sorry, I won't attack any more, I will just cover and catch the ball and shoot."
He did what he said, he really pulled out to play pick-and-roll with Hardaway, and he didn't make any cuts. His teammates let him take any shot he wanted, and as a result, he hit consecutive three-pointers and high mid-range shots in the middle.
Grant, who was opposite him, pretended to throw the ball. "It hurts my pride to leave."
He was joking, with a smile on his face. The core players were in such good shape, and the only ones who would be unlucky would be their opponents.
After training, Hardaway said excitedly in the locker room: "Shaquille, keep this up, I think you can win even if you face Elliott Richards tonight."
Grant nodded and patted Yang Jian on the back: "It's up to you. I will try my best to guard Olajuwon tonight. As long as the inside doesn't suffer, we will definitely have hope of winning the championship."
Yang Jian directly gave them a giant Erlang Shen question mark face. He could understand every word they said, so how could he not understand them when they were connected together?
Who is Elliott? Why should I play against him? Isn’t the Rockets’ star center Olajuwon a big dream?
Yang Jian remained calm on the surface. During lunch, she asked her teammates for the latest basketball magazine, and asked a younger brother on the team to buy a copy of today's sports newspaper.
He didn't know it until he saw it, but he was shocked when he saw it.
The Rockets actually have a monster center named Elliott who broke Chamberlain's 100-point record! His height and weight are about the same as Yang Jian now, with comprehensive skills and invincible quality. The only drawback is that he sweats a lot when playing, like turning on a faucet.
Still can't stop.
Yang Jian found a photo of this guy. It was the face of O'Connor, the hero of "The Mummy Returns", a large version of Brendan Fraser.
He immediately remembered the comedy movie "Wish". The male protagonist is an ordinary person who has failed in life. He made a deal with the devil and obtained 7 wishes, one of which was to become the strongest NBA star.
Damn it, the guy on the other side seems to be even more powerful.
