NBA beast center

Located in southeastern Pennsylvania, Philadelphia is the fifth largest city in the United States, after New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Houston.

When Kotoba was at Philadelphia's Philadelphia International Airport, he had a feeling he'd be better off here than in Dallas.It's a new beginning, a new career, and I hope it goes well.

Shou Ye took a taxi according to the address and went to the apartment that Bill Duffy had rented for him. First, he went to settle down and put his luggage away.He didn't have much luggage, and he didn't bring much clothes. You can buy such things anywhere.

The apartment that Bill Duffy rented to Shou Ye is located not far from the Wachovia Center, home of the Philadelphia 76ers, and next to the subway entrance.This is a two-bedroom set, and all household appliances are available.The monthly rent is US$1500, which is more than enough for a bachelor like Shou Ye.

Shou Ye is very satisfied with Bill Duffy's arrangement.He has no money to buy a house now, so renting a house is naturally the first choice.If he has money in the future, he will definitely buy a house of his own.Always renting a house does not meet the status of an NBA star, hehe.

After Shou Ye settled down, he went to report to the 76ers.

The 76ers have started training camp, and the team is busy.Shou Ye felt like a transfer student, everyone else was in class, and he had just arrived.

Coach Doug Collins' first impression of Shou Ye was like a gangster in an American movie, unsmiling and very cool.He asked the assistant coach to show Shou Ye around for a medical examination.

The assistant coach took Shou Ye to visit the team's fitness room, locker room, physical therapy room, etc., and introduced him to part of the team's history and current personnel situation.

Shou Ye listens like a student, he is new and can't give a bad impression.

Shou Ye is already familiar with the content of the physical test. He has participated in it several times, and there are no novel items.What surprised him was that his physical data had changed since he entered the draft.

现在他的身高已经达到了208cm，比选秀时增加了2cm；体重达到了110kg，比选秀时增加了2kg；臂展目前达到了222cm，比选秀时增加了4cm；站立摸高达到了278cm，比选秀时增加了5cm。

Not only has the static physical fitness improved, but the dynamic physical fitness has also improved significantly.Shou Ye's speed and flexibility have improved a lot compared to two years ago, which made him very happy.Of course, the bouncing improvement is very small, and he knows exactly what's going on.

The 76ers are also very satisfied with Shou Ye's physical test results.Because judging from the scouting report, he is an Asian big man with very poor athletic ability. Apart from good strength, other dynamic physical statistics are very poor.But now it seems that apart from the unsatisfactory bounce data, the speed is not slow at all, and the static physical fitness is very gratifying.

With Shou Ye's height of 208cm and wingspan of 222cm, he has an obvious size advantage when playing the 4th position.Even playing at the 5th position, as long as you don't meet a super big man like Yao Ming, it's not too much.

Shou Ye went back after the physical test, and the 76ers asked him to come to the team training camp on the second day.

Shou Ye is very excited that his career in the 76ers will officially kick off.

In the 76ers, Shou Ye did not have a good friend like Beaubois, but since he went to the training camp on the second day, he felt that the atmosphere in the team was still very good.

In fact, the team currently does not have a real boss. The actual leader is Iguodala, but he has never been the kind of strict team leader, and he has no such perverted demands on his teammates.He is very kind and treats everyone with everything.

As for the old captain Elton Brand, he was not that kind of tyrant leader in the Clippers back then, but now that he is over 30, he is more Buddhist, and he seems to have become the leader of the locker room.

Vucevic is a very shy big man. He is the No. 16 rookie in the first round this year. He is an offensive big man.

"Brother Holiday" Zhu Holiday and Shou Ye are rookies in the same class, and he is the first new teammate to express friendship to Shou Ye.

Shou Ye lamented that if this lineup is at its peak, it would be very scary.Especially the perimeter defense, having top defenders like Brother Yi and Holiday is a nightmare for a strong perimeter team.

Shouye's competitors should be Vucevic, Speights, Thaddeus Young, and Hawes. As for the old captain Brand, he is basically sure to be the team's starting power forward.

Shou Ye's advantage over many competitors is also that he is a 4/5 swing. Compared with Hawes and Vucevic who can only play at the 5th position, Thaddeus Young and Speights can only play at the 4th position. At position 3, he is more versatile.In addition, he also has a stable [-]-pointer. Except for Hawes, no big man in the team can compete with him in his mid-range and long-range shooting ability.

In the training camp of the 76ers, Shou Ye showed the results of his hard training during the offseason.His shooting has become more precise, and after moving faster, he no longer becomes the biggest weakness when defending against pick-and-rolls and misplaced defenses.In addition, he let the coaching staff see that he is willing to do dirty work and share the team attributes of the ball, which makes Coach Doug Collins very satisfied.

In an interview with the media, Coach Doug Collins said that he has basically decided on the team's starting lineup, and the team's rotation lineup has not been fully finalized. These young people have opportunities, and he will perform according to the performance of the players. Decide who gets into the rotation.

Shou Ye is not afraid of competition, as long as it is fair and reasonable, he doesn't think he will lose to anyone.After so many days and nights of hard training, he has reason to believe that he can gain a foothold in the NBA.

On December 12, the 17ers visited Washington, ushering in the first of two preseason games in a shortened season.Their opponent is the Wizards.

Because the season has shrunk, in order not to affect the time of the regular season, the preseason has also been compressed to only two games.

In this game, Coach Collins ranked the starting lineup of Hawes, Brand, Iguodala, Meeks and Holiday.

Obviously, this lineup will most likely be their starting lineup for the new season.

The preseason coaching staff basically gave everyone a chance. Shou Ye played 17 minutes in this game and scored 10 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal. His performance was very stable.

After the game, team coach Doug Collins praised Shou Ye, saying that he played very well as a team, was very smart, and was extremely aggressive. He hoped to see more of his performances in the new season.

From the interview, it seems that the coach wants to give Shou Ye more roles, but Shou Ye thinks that what he said may not necessarily count. It depends on whether he can enter the rotation when the real season starts.How much playing time can you get if you enter the rotation.The others are sugar-coated shells with little nutrition.
