Kevin McHale's work efficiency is still very impressive.
Soon he contacted Ben Wallace who was preparing to make a living overseas.
Wallace was also ecstatic after getting McHale's invitation.
Participated in the Timberwolves' trial training for the first time. finally.
The Timberwolves retained Ben Wallace.
The latter also knew about Lin Yan's introduction.
Ben Wallace gives people the impression that he is a beast that is difficult to tame.
But this kind of person also has a characteristic, which is that he attaches great importance to love and justice.
Having grown up in a difficult environment, he understands the meaning of the word gratitude very well.
Although he has not had any contact with Lin Yan yet, in his heart, he has already recognized Lin Yan as the boss!
The NBA offseason is still very lively.
The Heat have completed a contract extension with Alonzo Mourning.
The two parties signed a seven-year contract worth US$105 million.
This is also the NBA's first billion-dollar contract so far. soon.
The Washington Bullets also reached a seven-year, $105 million contract with Juwan Howard.
This kind of news is just the tip of the iceberg among the many news during the offseason. soon.
Even more exciting news came out.
Shaquille O'Neal left the Magic.
Finally signed a 7-year, 120 million yuan contract with the Los Angeles Lakers.
Since then.
The entire league's structure has also undergone completely new changes because of his choice.
Charles Barkley eventually left the Suns.
After careful consideration.
His last stop was the Houston Rockets.
The combination of the dream Olajuwon and the glider Drexler gave him certain expectations for the championship.
Especially after O'Neal came to the West.
The situation for the teams in the Western Conference will be even more difficult.
Choosing to join the Rockets is his most ideal choice so far.
Watching all the top super giants get enviable contracts.
Michael Jordan was also a little unable to sit still.
Since he led the Chicago Bulls to win the championship again, he once again proved to everyone that he is still the best basketball player in the world.
The best players naturally have to match the best contracts.
The Bulls currently offer him a contract with an annual salary of 25 million.
To be honest, this amount is not low.
But Jordan was not satisfied.
Seeing that negotiations with the Bulls were fruitless, Jordan decisively chose to test the free market!
His news directly caused a sensation in the league.
James Dolan, who was worried about what kind of players to bring in to comfort Ewing, waved his hand and wrote a blank check for Michael Jordan.
Fill in the amount as you like, as long as you dare to fill it in, I dare to give it!
Dolan people are notorious for being stupid and rich in money.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the Bulls management had no choice but to compromise.
After all, the team with Jordan and without Jordan are completely different concepts.
The Bulls used a contract with an annual salary of 3,014 meters to successfully retain Jordan.
It is worth mentioning that.
Jordan's personal annual salary has exceeded the team's salary cap.
This is also the only case where an individual player's annual salary is higher than the salary cap! have to say.
Michael Jordan is still awesome ~ but everyone knows it.
He definitely deserves this treatment!
In addition to these huge sensational news, other teams have also made certain signings and transactions.
After Michael Jordan returned to the basketball stage, everyone had a consensus.
If you want to win, you must cross the Jordan mountain.
In this case, reinforcement is what every player who wants to go further must do
………………
After a long offseason, teams have begun to assemble for the new season. during this summer.
Michael Jordan once again led the Bulls to a championship, and Shaquille O'Neal traveled west to join the Lakers.
Mourning and Zhu Wan’s sky-high contracts…………
Numerous shocking news has made people full of expectations for the new season. in.
The most anticipated thing is the joining of rookie players.
This year's draft has high hopes from many media. Everyone believes that this will be another big draft year after 1984!
Whether this group of rookies can fulfill their talents, the upcoming preseason has become the best litmus test.
The role of the preseason is to give some new players and teams that have been traded a run-in and training process.
Let everyone strive to adjust to the best condition before the start of the regular season.
In this kind of game, the teams basically don't take it too seriously, and they mainly focus on honing their lineup.
The same is true for the Timberwolves where Lin Yan is located.
In the several preseason games before the opening game, the Timberwolves also focused on honing their lineup.
Even Lin Yan and Garnett didn't have much playing time.
On the contrary, Ben Wallace has become the focus of training for the Timberwolves at this stage.
Surprisingly.
Wallace, an inside player who was ignored in the draft, did not lose much in the competition with NBA-level inside players.
Although some differences can still be seen.
But Daben's drive and unwillingness to admit defeat left a deep impression on everyone.
Everyone here believes that as time goes by, Ben Wallace will become an excellent inside player.
At this moment, Celtics head coach Miller Carr was filled with regret.
You must know that he was the first player to provide Ben Wallace with a chance.
However, due to Big Ben's height, he was not optimistic about Big Ben's performance in the paint.
In fact.
Ben's inside performance in the summer league can only be considered average.
But I don't know why.
After he joined the Minnesota Timberwolves, he ushered in a radical change in just two months.
If Ben Wallace had such inside strength back then, Karl would definitely not have let him go~
Speaking of which.
I have to mention the changes in the book.
He was able to improve so much in such a short period of time, and Lin Yan's guidance was crucial.
Lin Yan, who has the Eye of the Emperor, can clearly see the potential in everyone.
Big Ben's body is not dominant in the paint, but his drive and effort on the court are something that many inside players don't have.
Lin Yan's advice to him was very clear.
Be defensive first!
Just play defense! (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Ben Wallace is a very hard-working player.
When he focuses on one thing, progress is naturally very gratifying.
Plus Kevin Garnett is also a defensive master.
The two often communicated with each other on weekdays, which made Ben's defensive skills even better. at this stage.
No matter who it is, it is simply unrealistic to easily get rid of Big Ben's entanglement.
Now he is the evil Rodman in people's eyes!
Even compared to Da Chong, Da Ben is younger and more energetic!
Unknowingly.
Big Ben has become a defender that many teams must take seriously!
October 25th, US time.
NBA is on fire again!
I wonder if the league is taking special care of the Timberwolves. Their first game is not until November 1st.
This is invisible and gives the team a lot of opportunities to adjust and learn.
The time comes to Friday, November 1, local time in the United States.
The entire Minnesota Timberwolves visited San Antonio to challenge the San Antonio Spurs. this match.
It also attracted countless attention. in previous games.
Many rookies have already appeared.
Allen Iverson scored 18 points and 4 assists in his opening game.
Although the team unfortunately lost to the Heat in the end, people still saw the infinite possibilities in him.
Later, Steve Marbury also scored 16 points and 3 steals in the game on behalf of the Celtics, and also gave a satisfactory answer to his debut.
Among the three major point guards at the same time, only Lin Yan has not yet played.
Now.
Everyone wants to see if Lin Yan is really worthy of the top pick.
I also want to see whether Kevin McHale's almost crazy operation in the summer was right or wrong!
"Now the whole world is discussing Lin. He won the No. 1 pick status in the summer, but the quality of his No. 1 pick still needs to be tested in games!"
"The Spurs are a very experienced team, and Popovich is famous for his scheming. Although Bob Hill is now in charge of the coach, Popovich obviously will not stand idly by. Lin's first show against the Spurs, I think this is more painful than facing other more powerful opponents!"
0 flowers requested. In the ATT Center Arena, the home court of the Spurs.
The two commentators on the scene were introducing the topic of Lin Yan's debut.
The No. 1 pick in the 1996 draft will finally usher in his first NBA game. , this is definitely something worthy of attention.
Especially when other players in the same period have performed well, Lin Yan's appearance is even more worth looking forward to!.
Sun Zhengping and Su Qun were also waiting in front of the screen early.
"It’s finally here. Our Chinese player Lin Yan’s first game is about to begin. You can wait and see how many surprises he can bring to you!"
"I think Lin Yan still has a lot of room to play in this game. First of all, most of the Timberwolves' defenders who can play have been traded away. Secondly, there is no real boss in this team!"
"Tom Gugliotta's ability is pretty good, but he is better at off the ball. Garnett is not a player who mainly attacks with the ball. The final possession of the ball will basically be in Lin Yan's hands. , from this point of view, there is still a lot of room for him to play!"
Su Qun gave her very professional understanding.
In this era, people don't pay much attention to NBA players and know very little about them.
Su Qun's professional explanation also relieved many fans who were worried about Lin Yan's debut performance. Take a breath!
"How about Lin, not afraid that his performance in his debut is not good enough?"
During the preparation stage, Kevin Garnett looked at the somewhat absent-minded Lin Yan and asked with a smile.
During this period, his and Lin Yan's attention developed very quickly, and their friendship was also extremely strong.
Garnett's Yes, he joked without any scruples.
"I think you must be nervous. It's okay. Lin, if anyone dares to bully you on the court, I will be the first one not to agree!"
Ben Wallace on the side heard this and said very seriously.
Compared with Garnett's occasional humor,
Ben is a very honest player. He always says one thing and two things about everything he does.
Garnett He didn't hear the ridicule in the words, but he felt the worry.
Lin Yan didn't give any response to their words
, his eyes still wavering above the audience.
"Hey man, are you looking for hotties?"
"You can ask me about this, I have a lot of experience in this area!"
James Robinson blinked at Lin Yan and said with a deeper meaning.
"I knew he would definitely come!"
Suddenly.
Lin Yan showed a smile on his face and ran quickly towards the audience.
The eyes of the three people also changed as Lin Yan moved.
Then, they saw a tall figure.
"It's Tim Duncan!"
Daben was the first to speak.
"Sure enough, Lin still cares more about his friendship with that guy Tim!"
Garnett was inexplicably unhappy and said sourly.
"I don’t think so. Lin is very nice to everyone. Tim is his best friend in college and they have always been in contact. When Tim came to the scene, he naturally wanted to go over and receive him!"
Ben didn't hear Garnett's emotional changes at all, and explained seriously.
Garnett smiled and shook his head.
For some reason, after Ben showed up, he found that his character didn't seem so straightforward.……
"Tim, I knew you were coming!"
"Of course, I didn’t go to the draft. I definitely can’t miss your debut again!"
Lin Yan and Duncan smiled at each other and hugged each other tightly.
Lin Yan never asked why Duncan didn't accompany him to participate in the draft.
But he could more or less guess the answer.
It's just that He has always kept this matter in his heart, and it has become a tacit secret between the two of them.
For him, it is enough for Duncan to appear at his NBA show!
"Come on, Lin!"
Duncan and Lin Yan bumped their fists and then sat in the audience.
"Don’t worry, Tim, even if it’s not for myself, I will definitely live up to your personal presence on site!".
