I'm not a basketball bully

"An inside player with a height of 1 meters, Xiao Su, are you sure you are not kidding me?"

United States, Philadelphia, Wachovia Center Arena, general manager Billy King looked at the list of players recommended by Su Ye.Some doubts.

Now the time has come to late August, the annual summer league has begun, and as the core player of the 8ers next season, Su Ye doesn't have a lot of playing time in the summer league.

As we all know, the summer league games are not important, winning or losing does not matter, it is nothing more than to test the quality of rookie players, and at the same time, the 30 NBA teams are also looking for marginal players as substitutes.

Therefore, Su Ye provided a candidate to the management: Chuck Hayes.

Speaking of Hayes, after he failed in the draft, he successively had trial training contacts with several NBA teams.

Hayes' first trial team was the Orlando Magic.

The Magic's team management staff saw Hayes' height of 1 meters and arranged for him to go to shooting practice first.

But the result is good.

One out of ten out of three cents, the paint on the basket was smashed.

The managers of the Magic team couldn't stand it anymore, and stopped Hayes when he made the 11th three-pointer: "Stop, stop, stop shooting, if you shoot any more, you will hit the basket here Crooked."

Hayes looked apologetic: "I'm not good at shooting, I can do..."

"You can't shoot at your height. It's hard to do. Let's do it. There will be a 5v5 match in a while. You will play guard and test your dribbling and passing."

Hayes bit the bullet and went up, but was blocked by the opposing point guard and couldn't even pass halftime.

Not to mention passing the ball, Hayes couldn't make it through halftime, and there was no chance to show the pass at all.

The management of the Magic team got angry on the spot: "You can't shoot, you can't dribble, what on earth do you know?"

Hayes: "I'm actually a center..."

"The 1 meter center forward, are you here to amuse me?"

The Magic let Hayes go on the spot.

After that, Hayes had contact with the Eagles, Knicks, and Celtics one after another, but they were all in the same situation.

No one believes that a player who is 1 meters tall and can't shoot or dribble can survive in the NBA.

Now Hayes still has the last chance of life, he served as the team's power forward in the Houston Rockets' summer league.After the summer league, if no NBA team can give him a basic salary contract to allow him to survive in the NBA, then he will consider playing in overseas leagues.

or……

Find a class.

"Except for rebounding and defense, this player's report has no advantages at all. And his height is too short, 1 meters. Are you sure he can beat those players over 98 meters in the restricted area of ​​the NBA?"

Billie King looked at the player report.

To say that this Hayes is also a real person.

The height written on the player's report card is really 1 meters.

You will not write yourself 2 meters 04 ah.

In terms of fooling people, Hayes is far behind Su Ye.

"Trust my vision, Mr. Billy. I played against him in college. He is a difficult opponent. His rebounding ability and defensive ability are definitely worthy of the regular rotation of the NBA."

Billy King nodded. Since Su Ye recommended it so much, let's give Hayes a tryout.

If it is really what Su Ye said.

Then this Hayes is very suitable as Su Ye's substitute.

They are all short and stocky insiders.

The outside shooting ability is not strong, and the defensive attitude and awareness are positive.

The most important thing is that both of them have a pair of big buttocks that are enough to attract attention.

A few days later, the summer league ended smoothly.

Out of safety considerations, Su Ye averaged only ten minutes per game and didn't have many opportunities to perform. Su Ye didn't care, and the team finally won the third place in the summer league.

. . . . . . . .

On the day after the summer league ended, Su Ye signed a rookie contract with the 76ers.

Under the guidance of agent Marlon Barkley, the contract was signed smoothly.

这是一份nba标准的2＋2首轮新秀合同，总工资为2450万美刀。第一年650万美刀，第二年750万美刀，第三年和第三年都是800万美刀。

The first two years are team options, and the next two years are player options.

In 2005, the rookie contract can reach an average of 800 million dollars per year, which is considered an extremely high standard, and this contract also reflects the sincerity of the 76ers.

The signing process was also very pleasant. The moment the pen was written, Su Ye became an official NBA player!

After Su Ye signed the contract, the 76ers dealt with some marginal players.

Hayes was invited to Philadelphia for a workout, and then in the general manager's office, Billy King wrote out a contract.

"I heard that no team has offered you a guaranteed contract. Consider joining Philadelphia."

Hayes looked at the salary numbers on the contract.

116 million dollars for two years, with an average of 58 dollars a year.

In fact, Billy King still had doubts about Hayes' ability, but Su Ye strongly recommended it, and Billy King did not refuse.

Of course, the biggest reason for this is that it is cheap!

The number 58 felt familiar to Hayes.

That's right, the jersey number of the man who shattered his dream of winning a championship in his fourth year of college.

Su Ye!

Back to this contract, Hayes is very excited.

Let alone a cheap contract of 58 a year, he is willing to give him 10 dollars.

Hayes didn't even read the contents of the contract, and directly picked up a ballpoint pen and signed his name on the lower right side of the contract.

"You don't even look at it?"

Billy King looked at Hayes in surprise.

"There's no need to look at it, just take care of the food, let alone guarantee my salary."

Hayes said with a silly smile: "Thank you, Mr. Billy. In the new season, I will definitely play with style and toughness. As long as you give me a chance to play, I will definitely not let you think that the money is wasted!"

Billy King thought to himself, looking at Hayes with a grateful expression on his face.

Damn, it seems to be too much.

But 58 US dollars a year, which is already a proper cabbage price for the NBA.

"Let me tell you the truth, it was actually Su Ye who recommended you to us. Remember to treat him to a meal after your salary arrives," Billy King said.

"Su Ye..."

A look of surprise flashed in Hayes' eyes.

Hayes just remembered that Su Ye is a player of the 76ers.

The man who shattered his dream in March Madness actually helped him survive in the NBA a few months later.

In an instant, Hayes' hatred for Su Ye disappeared, replaced by endless gratitude.

Hayes is a very real person, with a clear distinction between likes and dislikes, and he knows how to reciprocate.

After signing the contract, Hayes came to the 76ers training arena and saw Su Ye.

Hayes was waiting by the side with his bag on his back. When Su Ye was resting on the bench and drinking water during the training interval, Hayes walked over.

"Brother Su, long time no see!"

"It's quite early, the signing of the team has been settled?"

Su Ye knew about Hayes signing with the 76ers.

Hayes nodded: "Brother Su, are you free? I'll treat you to dinner tonight...How about McDonald's?"

Originally, Hayes wanted to invite Su Ye to a big meal.

However, he changed the big meal to McDonald's when the words came to his lips. The main reason is that the salary has not yet arrived. If he wants to buy a big meal, he is worried that he will not have enough money in his pocket.

No money but no pretense.

I have to say that Hayes is indeed a real person.

"Did Billy King tell you that I recommended you to him?" Su Ye asked.

"Yeah." Hayes nodded: "Brother Su, I'm a real person, don't worry, I'll be your substitute in the new season, if you want to hit anyone, just tell me, I don't need to trouble you to do it."

Su Ye rolled his eyes at Hayes: "I'm a fucking ball player, don't I look like the kind of person who likes to fight?"

Hayes said with a silly smile: "It's not like that, Brother Su is a lot like a person who likes to fight."

Well, in the quarter-final match in March Crazy, our old Su was there to fight, nothing wrong!

"Chuck, do you know why you tried out so many teams and it didn't work?"

"Maybe I'm too short, many teams refuse to give me a chance..."

Su Ye shook his head: "How tall are you now?"

"1 meters."

"Too honest, it's very difficult for you to survive in the dangerous NBA. You have to be like me, you can cheat and fool. If anyone asks how tall you are in the future, you will say that you are 2 meters 02. As for why you say 2 meters 02, this is a length that can be long or short." Su Ye said old-fashionedly.

"Ah this..."

Still a little shocked: "2 meters 02, this is a full 4 centimeters difference, Brother Su, I will not lie."

"Big Ben, you have heard of it. If you don't know, you may think he is 2 meters, but in fact, minus his explosive head, 08 meters is considered high!"

Su Ye said: "Brother Xin, in the future you will keep an afro head. If anyone asks how tall you are, you can raise your neck and say 2 meters 02. What's the matter? Hair is also a part of your body, 2 meters 02 is fine Bar."

"This……"

The height is not enough, so the explosive head can make it up.

This is the first time Hayes has heard of such an operation!

But this trick sounds like it really does.

"Brother Su is smart, then I will grow my hair long from tomorrow."

The two best power forwards of the 76ers.

One is 2 meters tall, but advertises that he is 02 meters.

One is 1 meters tall, but has to leave an explosive head to blow himself 98 meters.

It's outrageous!

. . . . . . .

After entering September.

The various teams in the nba have also launched in-team training.

It is worth mentioning that the 76ers laid off the team's head coach before the arrival of the training camp.

And poached Portland Trail Blazers head coach Maurice Cheeks.

For Cheeks, the coach, the 76ers are no strangers.As early as when Larry Brown coached the 76ers to reach the finals in 01, Zekes was the assistant coach of the 76ers, and it can be said that he is very familiar with the 76ers.

The 76ers' lineup for the new season has also been determined.

Starters: Allen Iverson, Kyle Korver, Andre Iguodala, Su Ye, Samuel Dalembert.

Key players on the bench include:

Lou Williams, John Salmons, Willie Green, Kevin Ollie, Matt Barnes, Chuck Hayes.

It is worth mentioning that.

Iverson will serve as the team's starting point guard in the new season.

This is actually relatively rare.

For most of the time after entering the NBA, Iverson existed as a shooting guard.

The reason why the team has this arrangement is also very simple.

The previous 76ers team was seriously lacking in offensive ability.

But it is different now.

Iverson has shooter Korver by his side, Iguodala with good offensive ability, and Su Ye.

The team's offense is no longer what it was a few years ago, and it can only point to Iverson alone.

Of course, it is impossible for Iverson to completely become a traditional point guard. The team will not waste Iverson's top offensive ability in the league.Iverson doesn't spend a lot of time playing point guard, and most of the time he is still shooting guard.

Kyle Korver doesn't have the ability to dribble, though.

Then, Iguodala and Su Ye have to perform the task of the team dribbling across the half court in many cases.

Su Ye was very excited when he got the news.

Although a power forward.

But there will be many chances for him to dribble across the half court in the new season.

Transforming from a power forward to a shooting guard is definitely not a dream!

. . . . . . . . . .

Time flies by.

The new season is about to start.

Two weeks before the arrival of the preseason, the nba officially announced the regular season schedule of their respective teams for the new season.

Su Ye couldn't wait to pick up the schedule, wanting to see who his opponent was in the first game of his career.

But after seeing the opponent in the opening match, Su Ye's expression froze instantly.

Miami Heat!

"No, I'll do it!"

"Boss Si, I'm afraid you're not doing something on purpose..."

Su Ye was convinced.

This David Stern is worthy of being the helm of the business alliance, and he is too good at making things happen.

This opening match was definitely not arranged casually!

David Stern deliberately played O'Neal in the opener.

Su Ye also doubted that the small-bellied guy like Shark would take revenge on him?

Our old Su doesn't want to fight his opponent in the opening match of his career!

. . . . . .

After the opening game of the new season was announced.

Sure enough, fans all over the world are boiling.

"Damn it! Su Ye vs. Shark, let's make a big move as soon as we come up!"

"Nba really understands me so well, I have been waiting for this one for a year!"

"The Sharks revenge Su Ye at home, trace back to the elbow of Wake Forest!"

"Su Ye vs. O'Neal, this game must be watched!"

"..."

Look at the reaction of fans on the Internet.

In the president's office of the nba building, David Stern showed a satisfied smile.

The nba is like a Hollywood series. What the fans watch is not only the game, but also the grievances between the players.

It was David Stern's deliberate arrangement for Su Ye and the Sharks to play against each other in the opening game.

Fans on the Internet are getting louder and louder, but the rhythm seems to be getting more and more out of line...

"In what quarter do you think Su Ye and Shaq will clash?"

"Who is stronger between Su Ye and Shark?"

"Su Ye is a professional boxer. Sharks are free wherever they are."

"At Miami's home court, Su Ye shouldn't dare to make a mistake..."

"..."

David Stern looked at the fans' messages in the forum and always felt a bad premonition.

The heat is fired up.

But why does it seem that everyone's focus is not on the game, but on the fight?
