Chapter 613 Yao Saint_2

Objectively speaking, for a veteran experiencing a decline, embracing a substitute role is indeed the best choice.

He can maximize his output while sitting on the bench.

The opportunity for staggered playing time is not available to everyone. Yao Ming has already savored this benefit in the finals.

Once he becomes a substitute, his playing time will be strictly controlled, which will greatly reduce the probability of injury due to over-exertion.

As for the damage caused by being a substitute... for a player who does not pursue historical status, playing as a substitute in his later years won't cause any harm to his historical position.

To this day, Yao Ming's historical status is unquestionable.

He will undoubtedly become one of the future NBA top 75 superstars. Not only because he is a bridge between the NBA and Asia, especially China, he is also considered the last dominant traditional center and the top center of the NBA for the first half of the 2010s.
