Chapter 68: The Impartial "Anti-Mike

Collins didn't arrange for Yu Fei to play the power forward position as a punishment.

This was because the Knicks' power forward, Kurt Thomas, belonged to the lighter category in his era, weighing just 230 pounds, which was not much more than Yu Fei's 227 pounds (103KG). However, Yu Fei did not think that his confrontational ability was on the same level just because the opponent's weight was similar to his own.

Yes, strength is related to weight, but every weight has a theoretical maximum strength.

Yu Fei's focus this summer was to gain weight, while Thomas, a veteran who had played for many years, spent most of his training keeping his weight steady and doing lots of bench presses and deadlifts to push his maximum strength and core power to their limits.

This was something that Yu Fei couldn't compare with yet, and it was also the reason why Thomas would definitely have the advantage in their confrontation.

But Yu Fei did not plan to play against Thomas like an inside player.
