NBA, Yao Ming is back!

Chapter 107 The Little Alarm Clock Returns! The Philadelphia Triangle Reassembles (Second Update)

Media open day.

"Ah, Yao, I'm very satisfied with his training performance. I think his talent is second only to Tim. I have no regrets about picking him."

"How good? I can only say it's extremely good. I've never seen many things this good in my entire life."

"Starting point? Starting point isn't his limit. As for where it is, everyone will know by watching the games this season."

"Allen, his defensive instincts are just too good. Oh, you mean Allen? I suggest he work on his three-point shooting. As a ball-handler who relies on explosive shots, you can't do without a reliable long-range shot."

I don't know how other media outlets hear it, but the Chinese sports channel certainly enjoys it.

Larry Brown and the coaching staff all said that Yao Ming performed very well.

I am very satisfied with the training performance.

Zhang Heli is actually afraid of strict coaches like Larry Brown. When talking about rookies like Yao Ming, he certainly won't offer much praise.

He had a general understanding of Larry Brown's characteristics.

Apart from David Robinson.

Apart from Tim Duncan.

He hasn't really praised many of the rookie players over the years. You're saying Iverson is already a sophomore, but he wasn't the coach last year.

"Coach Zhang, even the Philadelphia coach said that, so Yao Ming must have performed very well."

"Will we be able to get the core right from the start?"

97

Zhang Weiping: ————

No, that's way too much.

Even the top draft pick has to go through a few tests at the beginning, right?

He's never even played a single game of college basketball in the US.

This is a renowned coach with an NCAA background.

They won't easily give Yao Ming too much playing time.

"It would be great if I could become a core player in the future. My main goal this season is to consistently get playing time and earn the coach's trust."

"If I can gain the coach's trust, I might have a chance to get more playing time in the middle of the season."

"After all, he's just a high school student. The growth curve of high school players in the NBA is relatively slow in the early stages. For example, that kid from Los Angeles, didn't he just keep throwing air balls in the playoffs last season?"

"This shows that high school students still need more practice and more time to grow."

Zhang Heli said there was no problem, but he didn't know.

His theoretical reasoning was actually less accurate than Sun Zhengping's insightful observation.

How to gain the head coach's trust?

The entire 76ers team now.

Besides Iverson, who is the core selling point.

The entire team already knows.

Yes, number 11.

It's Larry Brown's favorite.

They're together every day, he personally guides her, and he cares for her in every way—even a fool could see it.

If you could infiltrate the 76ers' organization, you'd find that there's even a rumor circulating in their pre-game training camp that Yao Ming might be a distant relative of Larry Brown.

Yao Ming may be Larry Brown's distant illegitimate son.

Yao Ming may be Larry Brown's ex-girlfriend's child.

Anyway, there are all sorts of outrageous things.

However, Stackhouse is no longer causing trouble, and Iverson is now showing favoritism towards Yao Ming.

And the coach is protecting him.

That's true.

Yao Ming wants to fulfill the duties of a rookie.

There wasn't even that opportunity.

"Yao, Larry Brown said you've earned his trust, what do you think?"

"Yao, Larry Brown said your talent is second only to Duncan, what do you think?"

"Yao, Larry Brown said you have the talent to be a starter, what do you think?"

-

"Yao, Larry Brown said you have the talent to become an All-Star, what do you think?"

Yao Ming was completely bewildered when he heard this.

No, can't you just let me develop quietly and easily rack up some stats?

If you say that...

I'm sure I'll be the one getting special attention.

With my current abilities and level of competence.

If we are targeted with special attention, we will definitely lose a lot of data.

Why are you doing this to me, you old geezer?

Am I usually not good at performing?

Next time, I'll intentionally make a few tactical mistakes just to annoy you.

Yao Ming didn't know that even if he deliberately made a few mistakes, it was still much better than most of the 76ers players not understanding the run after running for a long time.

Even going the wrong way would be seen as a mistake by Larry Brown.

The tactics were wrong.

It should be changed to run like Yao Ming.

outrageous.

Sometimes, you get the love of a coach with a thousand wins.

It's that easy.

When it was his turn to be interviewed, Sun Zhengping uttered a series of memorable quotes—

"Yao Ming, how long do you think it will take you to become an All-Star?"

"How likely do you think your former opponent, Tim Duncan, has to challenge your Rookie of the Year status this time?"

"Is there a chance to make the All-Star team this year?"

"Does he have a chance at MVP?"

Yao Ming: ————

Coach Sun.

Stop using your supernatural powers.

Even poisonous milk isn't this toxic.

Let's give young people some room to grow.

It was Wei Ping, the black-braised egg, who stepped in to save the day, saying, "Jerry Stackhouse, in your recent interview you said you're from the Oakley of Philadelphia. What do you think about that?"

Yao Ming: ————

That damn Stackhouse.

Is your heart really that small?

I already told you you're a skate master.

You actually called me Oakley.

It seems we haven't had enough conversation yet.

The moon is quite full tonight, let's ask each other out again.

Stackhouse, who was being interviewed, felt a slight chill on his backside.

I thought I had brought some small toys.

I startled myself.

Just at this time.

Philadelphia's management used this media day to announce some new information—

Philadelphia has just completed a new trade.

They traded a second-round draft pick and a cash trade exception to acquire a benchwarmer for the Wizards.

Upon hearing this news, Wei Ping, the Black Lu Dan, frowned slightly.

Looking at this person's stats, he actually had 1+1 last season.

What kind of ball can you play with this?

Switching back would be a waste of space.

"Yao, we just heard that your team announced a new trade, using a second-round draft pick plus a cash trade exception to acquire a player who averaged only 1.1 points and 1.7 rebounds per game last season. What do you think of this trade?"

Upon hearing the news, Yao Ming recalled the little alarm clock that had kept turning back to look at him at the end of that summer vacation, and couldn't help but smile: "I have no objections. Management matters are handled by professionals, and I trust the wisdom of the management team."

Hearing this, Zhang Heli was taken aback.

But when he saw Yao Ming's expression, he felt that this 17-year-old boy really understood "human relationships and social customs".

Since the deal is already done, there's no point in saying anything, so I might as well speak from the existing perspective.

A rising star who strongly supports the management team is naturally favored by them.

"I heard that Allen Iverson strongly recommended it and single-handedly facilitated this trade. Do you think that's interference with management?"

Sun Zhengping is such a simpleton.

They don't understand, yet they dare to say anything.

But this is no challenge for Yao Ming now.

"Allen is the core of the team, and he must have his reasons for doing whatever he does. I support him."

Great!

Having lived in the United States for so many years, Zhang Weiping is well aware of the ins and outs of the NBA. Seeing how eloquent Yao Ming is, he instantly stopped worrying about Yao Ming's situation on the team.

Of course, he didn't know that Yao Ming was using the core of the team.

He is not the boss.

However, when these words reached the ears of the management, they thought that this kid was really sensible and that they could increase resources to promote him.

If you were in management, you wouldn't genuinely like troublemakers either.

Unless he can help you make money.

And if you can't make money, they'll kick you out immediately.

When this reached Iverson's ears, it pleased him immensely.

Look at her, she truly is my capable assistant, she's so good with words.

Support yourself unconditionally.

That's what good brothers are like.

"Yes, Yao is the most talented player I have ever seen."

"I think he's no worse than Tim Duncan. I wouldn't even want to trade him for Tim."

That's for sure. If Duncan came over, you'd be relegated immediately.

If that were the case, you definitely wouldn't be happy.

However, when it comes to praising Yao Ming...

Iverson absolutely gave it his all.

"He definitely has All-Star caliber talent, and I hope he can realize that talent as soon as possible and help me and the team get back to the playoffs."

Just as the media open day was ending.

Suddenly, a powerful black figure stood outside the gate.

When I saw the giant spoon with Witherspoon, I was almost startled.

That fierce look in his eyes.

That face full of fierce expressions.

Those prominent pectoral muscles and arms.

This slightly protruding mushroom-shaped hairstyle.

It's obvious at a glance —

This is not someone to be trifled with.

Just as Witherspoon was feeling that the team had hired another big shot and wondered if he should be more low-key in the future.

This guy put his bag down, scanned the inside, and then—

Suddenly, he broke into a smile and ran towards Yao Ming and Iverson.

With a grin, he said, "Brother Lun, little boss, I'm in charge."

"You must take me with you, don't abandon me!"

"If you're going to cause trouble for anyone, please let me know."

"I don't know if I'm good at playing ball, but I'm definitely good at fighting."

Iverson was obviously pleased, staring at Stackhouse next to him as if to show off, "Look, my bodyguard squad has grown by another member."

What do you have to play with me?

Stackhouse glanced at Ben Wallace, whose muscles looked like they were about to explode.

I feel like I'm about to get punched.

I estimate that I can apply to play for the Disabled Persons' Federation.

The key point is that he's a real heartthrob at first glance.

They even had contact with these two people—

His face was full of fawning.

It’s over.

This palace intrigue—it's better not to fight at all.

Philadelphia.

There's no place left for my junior, Jordan.
