Kevin McHale’s work efficiency is still very powerful.
Soon he got in touch with Ben Wallace, who was going overseas to make a living.
Wallace was also ecstatic when he was invited by McHale.
Participated in the Timberwolves trial training for the first time.
finally.
The Timberwolves kept Ben Wallace.
The latter also knew the power of Lin Yan’s referral.
Ben Wallace feels like an untamed beast.
But this kind of person also has a characteristic, which is very affectionate and righteous.
Growing up in a difficult environment from a young age, he understands the meaning of the word gratitude very well.
Although he has not had 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 re-signed Alonzo Mourning.
The two sides signed a seven-year contract worth $105 million.
This is also the NBA’s first billion-dollar contract to date.
soon.
The Washington Bullets also agreed to a seven-year, $105 million contract with Juwan Howard.
Such news is just the tip of the iceberg among the many news in the offseason.
soon.
More exciting news came out.
Shaq O’Neal left the Magic.
Finally signed a seven-year, 120 million-meter contract with the Los Angeles Lakers.
Since then.
The pattern of the entire league has also undergone brand 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 big dream Olajuwon and glider Drexler makes him still have certain expectations for the championship.
Especially after O’Neal came to the West.
Things will be even tougher for teams in the West.
Choosing to join the Rockets is his most ideal choice so far.
Looking at the top super giants, they have all won enviable contracts.
Michael Jordan couldn’t sit still.
Since he led the Chicago Bulls back to the championship, he once again proved to everyone that he is still the best basketball player in the world.
The best players naturally match the best contracts.
The Bulls are currently offering him a contract with an annual salary of 25 million.
To be honest, this amount is not low.
But Jordan wasn’t satisfied.
Seeing that the negotiation with the Bulls failed, Jordan decisively chose to test the waters of the free market!
His news directly caused a sensation in the league.
Zhengchou didn’t know what kind of player to introduce to comfort Ewing’s James Dolan. With a big wave, he made a bad check for Michael Jordan.
Fill in the amount at will, as long as you dare to fill in, I will dare to give it!
Dolan people are famous for their stupid money.
The management of the Bulls saw that the situation was not good and could only choose to compromise.
After all, with Jordan and without Jordan, the team is completely two concepts.
The Bulls used a contract with an annual salary of 30.14 million yuan to successfully retain Jordan.
It is worth mentioning that.
Jordan’s personal annual salary has exceeded the team 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 kind of treatment!
In addition to these sensational news, other teams have also made certain signings and transactions.
After Michael Jordan returned to the basketball arena, there was a consensus in everyone’s heart.
If you want to win, you have to cross the mountain of Jordan.
In this case, reinforcement is what every player who wants to go further has to do.
After a long offseason, teams have also begun to assemble for the new season.
in this summer.
Michael Jordan led the Bulls to the championship again, and Shaq O’Neal swam west to join the Lakers.
Mourning, Zhu Wan sky-high contract…
Countless shocking news, people are full of expectations for the new season.
in.
The most anticipated is the joining of rookie players.
This year’s draft conference has high expectations by many media. Everyone believes that this will be another draft year after 1984!
Whether or not 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 a process of training and training.
Let everyone strive to adjust to the best state before the regular season starts.
In this kind of game, the teams basically don’t take it too seriously, and they mainly focus on honing their lineups.
The same is true for the Timberwolves where Lin Yan is located.
In the few preseason games before the opener, the Timberwolves also focused on honing their lineup.
Even Lin Yan and Garnett don’t get a lot of playing time.
On the contrary, it was Ben Wallace who became the focus of the Timberwolves at this stage.
Surprisingly.
Wallace, an inside player who was ignored in the draft, did not lose too much in the pull with the NBA’s top insider.
Although there are still some differences.
But Daben’s drive and unwillingness to admit defeat left a deep impression on everyone.
Everyone in this meeting believes that over time, Ben Wallace will become a good inside player.
And at the moment, the Celtics head coach Miller Carr has regrets.
You know he was the first player to give Ben Wallace a chance.
Just affected by the height of Big Ben, he is not optimistic about Big Ben’s performance in the interior.
In fact.
Big Ben’s performance in the summer league can only be regarded as average.
But don’t know why.
After he joined the Minnesota Timberwolves, in just two months, he ushered in a reborn change.
If Ben Wallace had such an inside strength, Carl would definitely not let him go~
Speaking of which.
I have to mention the big changes.
He can improve so much in such a short period of time, and Lin Yan’s guidance is crucial.
Lin Yan, who has the eyes of the emperor, can clearly see the potential in everyone.
Big Ben’s body is not dominant in the interior, but his momentum and his efforts on the court are something that many interior players have never had.
The advice Lin Yan gave him was very clear.
Defend first!
Just be defensive!
Ben Wallace is a very hard worker.
When he focuses on one thing, progress is naturally very gratifying.
Plus Kevin Garnett is also a great defensive player.
The two of them did not communicate much on weekdays, which made Daben’s defensive skills to a higher level.
At this stage.
No matter who it is, it is simply unrealistic to want to easily get rid of the entanglement of Big Ben.
He will be the villain Rodman in people’s eyes!
Even compared to Big Bug, Big Ben is younger and more energetic!
Unknowingly.
Big Ben has become a defender that many teams must take seriously!
October 25th, US time.
NBA wars are rekindled!
I don’t know if the league is taking special care of the Timberwolves, their first game will not be ushered until November 1st.
This invisibly gave the team a lot of opportunities to adjust and learn.
The time came to US local time on November 1st, Friday.
The Minnesota Timberwolves visit San Antonio to challenge the San Antonio Spurs.
this match.
It also attracted a lot of attention.
in the previous game.
Many rookies have already played.
Allen Iverson had 18 points and 4 assists in his opener.
Although the team unfortunately lost to the Heat in the end, people still saw the infinite possibilities in him.
After that, Steve Marbury also scored 16 points and 3 steals in the game played on behalf of the Celtics, and also handed over a satisfactory answer to his debut.
As the three point guards in the same period, only Lin Yan has not played yet.
Now.
Everyone wants to see if Lin Yan really deserves the treatment of the champion.
Also want to see, Kevin McHale’s almost crazy operation in the summer, is it right or wrong!
“Now the whole world is talking about Lin, he won the status of the champion in the summer, but how well he is the champion still needs to be tested by the game!”
“The Spurs are a very old-fashioned team, and Popovich is notoriously wily. Although Bob Hill is in charge now, Popovich is obviously not going to sit idly by. Lin’s debut is against Spurs, I think this is more painful than playing against other stronger opponents! 99
・・・ Flowers・・
The Spurs’ home arena at the ATT Center.
The two commentators at the scene were introducing the topic of Lin Yan’s debut.
The No. 1 pick in the 1996 draft is finally about to usher in his first NBA game, which is definitely something worth paying attention to.
Especially when other players in the same period have performed well, Lin Yan’s appearance is even more worth looking forward to!
at the same time.
In the China CCTV studio.
Sun Zhengping and Su Qiu were also waiting in front of the screen early.
“It’s finally here, our China player Lin Yan’s first game is about to start. We can wait and see how much surprise he can bring to everyone! 35
“I think Lin Yan has a lot of room to play in this game. First of all, the Timberwolves’ backline is basically traded away, and secondly, there is no real boss in this team!
“Tom Gugliotta’s ability is not bad, but he is better at off-the-ball, and Garnett is not a player who mainly attacks with the ball, and the final possession of the ball will basically be controlled by Lin Yan. In his hands, from this point of view, he still has a lot of room to play!”
Su Qi gave her very professional understanding.
In this era, people don’t pay much attention to NBA players, and they don’t know much about them.
000
Su’s professional explanation also made many fans who were worried about Lin Yan’s debut performance relieved!
“How about Lin, are you afraid that your debut performance is not good enough? 35
During the preparation stage, Kevin Garnett looked at Lin Yan who was absent-minded and asked with a smile.
During this time, his and Lin Yan’s attention has progressed very quickly, and their friendship is also exceptionally strong.
Garnett this time, but also ridiculed without scruples.
“I think I’m nervous, nothing Lin, if anyone dares to bully you on the court, I’ll be the first to refuse! 35
Ben Wallace on the side heard the words and said very seriously.
Than Garnett’s occasional little humor.
Big Ben is a very honest player.
Whatever you do, you have to say one, and two say two.
He didn’t hear the ridicule in Garnett’s words, but he felt worried.
Lin Yan did not respond to the words of the two.
His eyes were still swaying, always floating above the auditorium.
“Hey man, are you looking for beautiful women?”
“You can ask me about this, I have a lot of experience in this area!
James Robinson blinked at Lin Yan, and said something meaningful.
“I knew he would definitely come!
Sudden.
With a smile on Lin Yan’s face, he quickly ran to the auditorium.
The gazes of the three also changed as Lin Yan moved.
Immediately after.
They saw a tall figure.
“It’s Tim Duncan!”
Big Ben 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 treats everyone very well. Tim was his best friend in college and has always been in touch. When Tim came to the scene, he naturally wanted to come over to receive him!”
Big Ben didn’t hear Garnett’s mood changes at all, and explained seriously.
Garnett smiled and shook his head.
I don’t know why, after Big Ben appeared, he found that his character didn’t seem to be so straightforward…
“Tim, I knew you would come! 99
“Of course, I didn’t go to the draft, and I definitely can’t miss your debut!”
Lin Yan and Duncan smiled at each other and hugged tightly.
Lin Yan never asked why Duncan didn’t accompany him to the draft.
But he himself can more or less guess the answer.
It was just this matter that he kept in his heart all the time, and it became a tacit secret of the two of them.
to him.
It’s enough for Duncan to make his NBA debut!
“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 presence in person! 35 workers.
