Practice exercises at 4:30 in the morning and eats vegetarian food. The giant 2.26 was in seclusion for 10 days. The training of the monk is exhausted.

The big NBA star Wenban Yama recently did something new. She went to Shaolin Temple in Songshan, Henan, China, and practiced in seclusion for ten days. Finally, she got back from a Shaolin exam. This young man, who is 2.26 meters tall, gets up at 4:30 in the morning to practice martial arts every day, eats vegetarian food every meal. The training intensity is so high that even the monks in the temple say that they are more ruthless than we usually practice.

This matter is quite interesting. Wenban Yama originally had an injury to his right shoulder. The season ended early and came to China to recover after relaxing. He first climbed the Great Wall in Beijing, visited the Temple of Heaven, and met the fans. The NBA official website reported it. No one expected that he turned around and went to Shaolin Temple, shaved his hair and put on a gray monk's robe. The photos were posted online. Everyone was happy when they saw it, calling him the No. 1 monk in Shaolin.

The Spurs followed his reporter and said that he sent all his accompanying team away, leaving a physical coach with him. The original travel plan was cancelled, and he was determined to practice in the temple. Netizens said they couldn't understand. Is the Spurs going to train a sweeping monk in the basketball world? Shaolin Temple quickly came out to explain that formal monks and ordination must be made, and there are strict procedures, and foreigners cannot go through formal monk procedures. Wenban Yama is an experience. Don’t get me wrong. People in the temple who know the inside story are helpless. They say that the photos were accidentally transmitted. Wenban Yama wanted to practice quietly for a few days, but the whole world knew about it.

His days in the temple were really harder than the NBA training camp. Every day, he had to get up before dawn. He practiced basic skills with the monks, stood in a stance and stabilized the plate, practiced leg legs and foot skills, practiced balance on the plum blossom stance, and practiced reaction speed with the simplified version of the Eighteen Bronze Man Formation. The official Shaolin Temple later confirmed personally that this French guy practiced more intensely than the daily life of the monks in the temple, and he was not idle in the afternoon. He had a special training program, slapped the ancient cypress trunks in the temple three hundred times, saying that he was learning from the method of Shaolin Diamond Finger to practice wrist strength. This trick specifically targeted his three-point shooting percentage last season with only 34.2%. After practicing the ball, sometimes he would play wild balls with tourists or monks in the temple bare hands. Some netizens took a video of him running with the ball. A bald man played ball in an ancient temple. The scene did feel like traveling through time and space. The details of life are also quite interesting. He is 2.26 meters tall, sleeping on the hard bed of a low Zen room in the temple. Netizens joked that the ceiling of the Zen room was probably going to be stitched out by him. All three meals a day were vegetarian food, and they ate with the monks in the vegetarian hall. During his practice, tourists also met him by chance. On June 10, someone ran into him in a blue top and gray pants in the scenic area. He was so excited that his hands were shaking. The videos he took were all blurred until June 17. On the last day of his practice, he ushered in the graduation exam and participated in the evaluation of the Shaolin Section Class Category System. He passed the results successfully and obtained the Shaolin Section Certificate. Although this is only the primary among the nine levels of Shaolin Martial Arts, Wenban Yama is the first player in NBA history to get the official Shaolin Martial Arts rank. He got the certificate, badge, special belt and clothing. Before leaving, he gestured enthusiastically a few times, rubbing the footsteps of Shaolin Luohan Fist into the fake shooting movements. The Spurs coaching staff watched the video and cheered. If he suddenly used a Shaolin block in the field next season, wouldn't his opponent be shocked?

His Shaolin practice received a great response. The professional ESPN sports station monitored that his physical stability and control when he jumped increased by 7.2 degrees/second, and his sense of balance became particularly good. NBA legendary coach Phil Jackson publicly expressed his appreciation, believing that this way of practicing together in body and mind is very valuable. Some people also mentioned old stories. O'Neal came to Shaolin Temple in 2009, and Wade came to burn incense and pray for blessings in 2016. Now the Wenban Yama took the exam directly. It seems that NBA stars are becoming more and more serious in their studies in Shaolin Temple.

Now, the French No. 1 pick with the title of Shaolin lay disciple has returned to the United States and is preparing to participate in the NBA Summer League in July. Fans are curious that when the new season starts, this former blocking king, who has integrated Shaolin's kung fu foundation, can he develop more powerful abilities or will he get messed up because of the different ways of exerting force. Let's wait and see.
