My superstar background board

Chapter 37
On November 11, under the leadership of Iverson, Ze Yang came to the Philadelphia 17ers and met with the management of the Philadelphia 76ers.

Owner Ed Snyder, president Billy King, and head coach Maurice Cheeks were all there.

There are actually quite a few people on the back line of the 76ers. Shooting guards Allen Iverson, Kyle Korver, and Lu Wei on the bench. The only point guard seems to be Willie Green.

But in the game, Allen Iverson can also serve as a point guard, and another Andre Iguodala is also a small forward who can pass the ball.

"Alan introduced you to us and said that your abilities in all aspects are quite balanced. We are willing to give you this opportunity and hope that you will work hard. If you fail to meet expectations, then I am sorry. The ugly words are ahead. If this is the case, Alan's We won't give face either," said 76ers president Billy King.

"Thank you Philadelphia 76ers for this opportunity."

The 76ers are very straightforward. They will give the 11-day contract, and the signing will be completed on the same day, and in the game against the Clippers on November 18, Ze Yang will appear on the 76ers roster.

Phew, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Yang Ze looked at Iverson gratefully.

For the game between the 76ers and the Suns, Ze Yang couldn't go to the scene because he wasn't on the roster.

Yang Ze didn't waste time either, practicing alone in the team's training hall.

In the evening, Ze Yang went to the hospital again and watched the game between the 76ers and the Suns with Colin.

In the game between the 76ers and the Suns, Steve Nash did not play, and the back line composed of Leonard Barbosa and Raja Bell did not lose to the 76ers Iverson and Willie Green. combination.

When the strength of the outside line is almost the same, the inside line becomes the key point of victory or defeat.

Although there is a former All-Star inside the 76ers, Chris Webber, the No. 1993 pick in 2003, but in the Western Conference Finals in May [-], the scarf and knee were injured, and the peak was gone forever.

Now that he is getting older, no matter how he is the opponent of Stoudemire in the Suns, Weber was also completely suppressed in this game. He only scored 8 points in the game, while Stoudemire had 23 points and 10 rebounds.

"Yang, if, I mean, if, you are a member of the 76ers, how do you think this kind of game should be played?"

Colin did not forget to test Yang Ze on the hospital bed.

"First of all, the 76ers struggled defensively, couldn't beat the Suns, and couldn't beat many teams. This may be one of the reasons why they ranked last in the Eastern Conference."

"Second, when the inside is weak, try to shoot from the outside. Three-pointers are a good choice."

Colin asked again: "If the three-pointer has been missed, in this way, Stoudemire is strong inside, which is equivalent to giving him rebounds and giving the Suns the right to the ball."

"Pass, run, draw the defense, create opportunities for teammates."

Colin nodded in satisfaction.

"Coach Blair, I have good news for you."

Colin stared at the boss, looking at Yang Ze.

"The 76ers promised to give me a chance to play, and I will definitely seize this opportunity and get their approval."

"Hahaha, Yang, it's really good news. Entering the 76ers is also your wish. Of course, as a member of Philadelphia, this is our local team. I am proud of you."

Yang Ze nodded and continued: "Tomorrow I will go to Los Angeles with the team, and I will come to see you when I am free."

Colin smiled happily. If Yang Ze could play, Colin believed that his promise would not be false.

"Go, don't worry about me, play with peace of mind, I can hold on."

-

Let go of all your worries and devote yourself to the life of the Philadelphia 76ers.

On November 11, Ze Yang appeared on the Philadelphia 18ers' roster for the first time and flew to Los Angeles with the team.

The first game is the away game, or the city of fantasy, Los Angeles, the city of angels.

The Los Angeles Staples Center is the home of the Lakers, and they share a stadium with Los Angeles's eternal second, the Clippers.

"Everyone, let's get to know each other. This is our new teammate. He is a defender from China." On the plane, Iverson greeted his teammates and Yang Ze to get to know each other.

"Yang, I know you. Allen has often mentioned you recently." Willie Green took off his earphones and said to Ze Yang.

The teammates are still very friendly to Ze Yang, Chris Webber, Iguodala, Korver and others waved to Ze Yang one after another.

Afterwards, Iverson sat next to Ze Yang and said to him: "I have communicated with Morris, and he said that if the team is sure to win or falls behind by a big score, he will give you a chance."

Yang Ze smiled back and asked, "But?"

"That's right, but" Iverson said with a smile, "But, you know that the team's record is not good at the beginning, with 4 wins and 5 losses, ranking third from the bottom in the Eastern Conference."

经过9-10场比赛，76人倒数第三，雄鹿3胜6负东部倒数第二。

The worst team in the East, no one would have guessed that even Yang Ze was surprised.

The Celtics have 2 wins and 8 losses. Is this still the Celtics team that claims to recast the glory of Boston?
"I know, I still have some patience."

After arriving in Los Angeles, the 76ers applied to the home team for a training venue, and all members devoted themselves to training.

The training in the afternoon is very simple, the main purpose is to run the team, and at the same time let the teammates see what level Yang Ze is at.

In the shooting training, Yang Ze played steadily, basically maintaining an undefended shooting rate of 80.00%.

This is the most common situation in the NBA, as long as a player who is slightly good at shooting can do it.

Kyle Korver even hit 90.00% of the threes in training, which is worthy of being a pitcher.

In training, Ze Yang also had a few strokes with the team's starting guard Willie Green.

Willie Green, with a height of 1 meters, is stronger than Yang Ze. His impact is very fierce, which makes Yang Ze feel uncomfortable.

"Don't worry, Yang, this is what every rookie has to go through. No matter where you have played before, I don't think the confrontation is as intense as in the NBA. As a rookie, you need to adapt to this kind of confrontation as soon as possible."

After watching Ze Yang and Willie's fight, head coach Maurice Cheeks patted Ze Yang on the shoulder and said patiently.

With just one sentence, Ze Yang could feel the importance that the 76ers attached to him. Compared with the Celtics, no matter how much Ze Yang trained, no one came to say a word to him.

"In addition to the physical confrontation, there is also the rhythm of the game and the concentration on the game. I think you can feel it after you play."

The game started at 07:30 p.m., and the 76ers sent Willie Green, Allen Iverson, Iguodala, Webber, Dalembert's regular starters.

How to evaluate this starting lineup? The perimeter defense, except for Iverson, is so-so. Except for Iverson, everyone else on the offensive end can only be said to be average.

The two teams played back and forth in the first quarter, and the Clippers also relied more on Elton Brand's performance.

In the second quarter, Iverson continued to play and started scoring mode.

According to the past, Iverson would not play so hard at the beginning of the second quarter. Yang Ze knew that Iverson wanted to rely on his personal ability to widen the point difference in exchange for Yang Ze's chance to play.

In the team, Iverson can't say publicly that let the head coach play Yang Ze, which will cause dissatisfaction with other substitute players, and it is not good for Yang Ze to get along with his teammates.

So Iverson used actions to tell the coach, because they had communicated before the game.

But how could the Clippers let Iverson get what he wanted, and the score was tightly bitten.

In the middle of the second quarter, Iverson used his signature to go beyond others, flying veteran Sam Cassell, hitting the penalty area and scoring, then completed a steal, and scored again with a one-stop layup.

Iverson scored four points in a row, and the Philadelphia 76ers led the Clippers by 38 points 32-6.

The Clippers called a timeout, and after this wave of timeouts, coach Maurice Cheeks patted Ze Yang on the shoulder and said, "You go up, Yang. Your job is to control the ball and look for opportunities. teammates and help them finish the score."

"Okay, coach." Yang Ze took off his coat excitedly, clenched his fists, and looked at Iverson gratefully.

If you have friends like this, what else can you ask for.
