After enduring the intense battles of the Eastern Conference Finals, Yao Ming is nearly burnt out. It's said that after the sixth game of the Eastern Conference Finals, he cried from exhaustion in the locker room.
For a rookie, reaching this stage of the season, the body truly can't handle it anymore.
Even for the legendary endurance monster Gan Guoyang, his rookie season ended in the Western Conference Finals due to exhaustion.
Before the finals, Yao Ming had substantial rest, but some fatigue can't be recovered in just one or two weeks.
It's not just physical; more importantly, it's mental. The tension in his mind simply can't unwind.
With his mental state unable to relax, his body only grows more weary. Thinking about the finals, Yao Ming felt very repressed and hadn't made enough adjustments.
But he didn't dare to say anything. This is an important big match. He couldn't just tell the coach or Ah Gan, "I can't do it, I'm too spent."
