shooting guard era

Chapter 161 191. Formal Joining
The first game day after the All-Star Weekend is coming soon. Ye Han is the same as usual, no matter whether there is a game or a team practice, he will arrive at the arena at [-]:[-] in the morning. practice.

Ye Han walked into the training ground and unexpectedly found that there were already people there.

Normally, Ye Han only had staff members in the arena at this time, and the assembly time was nine o'clock, and those guys came early at 08:30, so they would usually come early.

But there are already people today, and veteran Jahidi White has come to the arena.

"Hey, Jia Xidi, it's so early?" Ye Han took the initiative to say hello.

Jahidi White is a role player who has a good relationship with Ye Han. He has been in the league for six or seven years and has always been very optimistic. After coming to the Bobcats, although he didn't play much and often couldn't play, he was a Bobcats substitute. He is the most active and energetic member of the team. Even during an eight-game losing streak, as long as his teammates hit a good shot, he will immediately jump up and cheer.

But today he seems very lost.

"Here you come, Ace, it's so early every day, no wonder you will become the best player in the world." White forced a smile, and the sadness in his eyes could be seen at a glance.

"Why Jia Xidi, why are you so depressed today?" Ye Han frowned and asked, what happened?
White sighed and said: "I like this team very much, all of them are young players, we are improving day by day, and the team record is getting better and better, but I am afraid that one day I will be traded like Jamal Go, or be cut by the team..."

Sampson gone?Ye Han was stunned for a moment. Sampson, like White, was the team's most passionate substitute. The inside mascot combination formed by the two is a very characteristic feature of the Bobcats. Often the cameras will send good shots on the Bobcats side. Afterwards, it was given to two people, and they often performed strange dance steps to celebrate.

By the way, Ye Han remembered, it seemed that Sampson was the bargaining chip for Hill!Before, his attention was only on joining Hill, and he completely forgot about it!

Ye Han has mixed feelings in his heart now. He hopes that the team will trade for stronger players, but now that the Bobcats lineup is saturated, someone will come and someone will leave!
He smiled wryly in his heart, is this the NBA?It seems so.

Ye Han felt the silent cruelty of the NBA, and just like that, Sampson, who had played in the NBA for nearly three years and played less than 100 times, was always full of fighting spirit, and left like this.

Now most of the team members are Ye Han's first teammates, and these people have a very different status in Ye Han's mind.

Suddenly, Ye Han made up his mind that he couldn't control anything else, but he still dared to fight for such a trivial matter.

Ye Han looked into White's eyes and said, "Jaxidi, I promise you, as long as I'm on this team for a day, you will be my teammate!"

"Ace..." White was stunned, he didn't expect that usually cold Ye Han would say such a thing.

White thought about it carefully, yes, although Ye Han is usually cold and sometimes serious, he has never done anything excessive, and he has no so-called arrogance, just very cold.Although it can't be said how much care is given to his teammates, there has never been any behavior of those young players who look down on marginal substitutes.

Ye Han has the same requirements for everyone, you have to show your strongest strength when you go on stage.

Sometimes for some fringe players, the core people regard them as teammates, don't dislike them, and don't treat them differently because of their strength, which is a kind of goodwill!

Feeling the warmth that Ye Han never showed, White finally revealed his previous happiness again. Speaking of which, every NBA player is the pride of their respective cities. There are so many people in the world, so many cities, who can play in the NBA. There are only 450 people, and these people are heroes in their respective cities.

After they came to the NBA, their previous status was gone. If they should be substitutes, they would be substitutes.

Seeing that White was back to normal, Ye Han returned to "normal" very quickly, went back to the locker room coldly to change into his training clothes, and started shooting practice.

Seeing that Ye Han stopped talking to others, White shrugged helplessly and started strength training. At the age of 29, he had no potential to tap, so he needed to train his body a bit thicker to help Okafor resist the opponent's tonnage-type insider, help him It is his task to get other people to grab rebounds.

When it was nearly nine o'clock, Bickerstaff finally came, and with him came the team's new aid, Grant Hill, who passed the physical examination and successfully joined the Bobcats yesterday.

After introducing the team's teammates to Hill, Bickerstaff returned to the office. As the team's general manager, his job is not as simple as coaching.

The joining of Hill will undoubtedly greatly improve the team's strength, but it will also make someone who has never been an easy starter become a substitute.

Kapono can think about it: "Of course I have to play as a substitute when Grant is here! I am too tired from playing for so long every game. If I play as a substitute, I may be able to take more shots."

Ye Hanhan, this...seems quite reasonable.

"Me too," Blake agrees. "Grant came and was able to organize the offense, and it was easier for me and Ace."

To be honest, Blake's organizational skills are average. He is characterized by strong tactical execution, daring to fight at critical moments, and not afraid of trouble.Of course he wants to start and have enough playing time, but now it is indeed a bit too much for him to play 38 minutes per game. In the half month before the All-Star weekend, he played 38 minutes per game, and he felt that it was a bit too much.

He is not a greedy person, he knows where his abilities are, and he can maintain his best state for more than 20 minutes in each game, more really more.

Now that the team has one more star, the playing time of the three perimeter players will inevitably be reduced, but they are all happy.

"With Grant coming, our rebounding pressure will be much better. I don't have to worry about going to the outside to defend and delay the rebound." Even Gerald Wallace, who switched to power forward this season, is very happy.

"I have no chance to play when Grant comes. God, I hope the coach will let me play! I want to play!" This is Milicic who is already hungry.

"Train hard, there is always a chance to play, if you are not ready when you play, you will wait for a longer bench time." Coleman patted Milicic on the head.

Coleman is in charge of training Milicic and Okafor in this team. Compared with Okafor who keeps focusing on defense, Coleman actually prefers Milicic as a disciple.It's not that Coleman doesn't like Okafor or has any dissatisfaction with Okafor, but that he spends much more time teaching Milicic, and the relationship will naturally become better after a long time.

"Yes!" Milicic replied immediately.

Milicic is actually a very obedient kid, who was lazy in the Pistons but was beaten badly by Larry Brown.

"I think the biggest improvement is our forward defense." Ye Leng said abruptly.

Obviously, this sentence is aimed at Kapono.

But Kapono didn't blush at all: "That's right, I can finally use it as a cash machine without being touched by James and Anthony."

"It seems that you don't usually guard against them. When they meet you, they still treat you as a cash machine." Okafor also popped up.

"Damn!" Kapono didn't expect, did not expect, when Okafor with such thick eyebrows and big eyes would learn Ye Han's poisonous tongue!

Seeing that the new teammates are on good terms, Hill's last doubts are dispelled.

But Hill felt very strange. Isn't it widely rumored that this team has internal conflicts?But it looks very harmonious!Even Ye Han can tell cold jokes.

After joking for a while, Ye Han's expression suddenly changed, and he said coldly: "Tonight our opponent is the Supersonics. They have two All-Star players this year. Although we beat them last time, we can't relax this time. , we must do our best to win, and use this victory to welcome Grant to join us!"

"That's right, this game must be won! The first game after the All-Star Game must set the tone of victory!" Okafor also put away his usual simple and honest image and became very serious.

"Ah, ah, Mr. Kapono, I will let the other side see what the first three-way breakup in history is."
