Bird avoided Guoyang's defense and couldn't help but marvel at how well this guy has recovered.
Still remember this guy starving himself in Naples for a comeback and eating bananas to recharge potassium.
Immediately after the press conference, he dove into recovery training; in just two months, his body was strong again like a stud.
This is a kind of talent; the longer you work in the NBA, the more you realize that what you end up competing with is physical fitness.
Tactics and techniques exhausted, the long and painful season ultimately comes down to whose stamina is fullest, whose body is healthiest, whose injury count is lowest, and who can stay clear-headed in critical moments, with steady hands when shooting, error-free in passing and no low-level mistakes due to fatigue and pain.
In fact, many failures stem from distorted technical moves after a loss of stamina, scattered consciousness and willpower, and a series of inexplicable errors triggered by this.
