NBA beast center

Chapter 174

Before the opening match, Shou Ye spent all the points he had accumulated during this period, and he increased his speed to 60.

On November 11, a pre-match tactical analysis class was held during the day.Because Love did not play this game, coach Adelman hopes that Shou Ye will take on more tasks on the offensive end.

This is of course good news for Shou Ye.He was in the 76ers last season. On the offensive end, he basically played the role of opening up space and eating cakes. He rarely had the opportunity to play the role of secondary attacker or even the main attacker.

This is indeed the role he has been looking forward to. It doesn't have to be the main offense, but it is not just an end point in the offense, which helps him play better.And his advantage is on the offensive end, no one really naively thinks he has DPOY potential, right?

In the locker room of the home team, Shou Ye seemed a little excited, breathing a little short of breath.He knew that this was not his first NBA regular season game, but he still couldn't restrain the excitement in his heart, because this would be the first time he appeared in the opening game as a starter.

JJ Barea is a former teammate of Shou Ye. He saw his excitement, stepped forward and patted his arm and said with a smile, "Tom, you are half a veteran, take it easy!"

Shou Ye let out a long breath, smiled and said to Barea: "JJ, you don't know, this is my first start in the opening game, and it's a new team. This start is really something I've been looking forward to for a long time."

Barea suddenly understood Shou Ye very well.He also came from a small person, and he has experienced sitting on the bench, and also experienced playing for the first time in the starting lineup.Small people can better understand the difficulty of small people, and can better understand each other's mood.

When Shou Ye was in the Mavericks, he was indeed disliked by coach Carlisle, which made him lose many opportunities he could have had.

On this point, Barea, as a former teammate, is very clear.He just didn't expect Shou Ye to play so well in the Philadelphia 76ers and even make it to the Eastern Conference Finals.

In this game, the Minnesota Timberwolves' home stadium, the Target Center, had a good attendance rate.After all, this is the opening game. Even though the home team had a poor record last season, this season is a new start. The team has popular new players such as Shou Ye, and the long wait for the offseason allows fans to watch the game live. desire is extremely strong.

The Timberwolves' opponents in this game, the Kings, are also underdogs.The two teams still have a relationship. The current Timberwolves coach Rick Adelman was once the coach of the extremely gorgeous Kings.

It's just that time flies, and the Kings are no longer the Kings.The last time they entered the playoffs, it dates back to the 2005-06 season, and it has been 7 years since then.

Last season, the Kings ranked second to last in the Western Conference with a record of 22 wins and 44 losses. The record was worse than that of the Timberwolves.

This competition, which was called "Pecking with Chicken" by the outside world, has become a topic of discussion because of the existence of Shou Ye.

"Can Shou Ye withstand the impact of Kao Shen?" "Does Shou Ye really have the ability to become the starter of an NBA team?" "Can Shou Ye really play in line with his worth?"

There is no former teammate of Shou Ye in the Kings, but there is an acquaintance-Terreke Evans.

Both Evans and Shou Ye are players under Bill Duffy's banner. When they participated in the Chicago United trial training together, they were considered acquainted.It's just that he has always been quite cold, so even if the two met on the court later, they didn't have much communication.

Evans played 20+5+5 in his rookie season and won the rookie of the season, which can be said to be in the limelight.But since then, he has a feeling that "the debut is the peak", and he has never hit such a data again.

Shou Ye felt that Evans' failure to get better was not entirely his fault. The team's management and coaching staff were extremely stupid and would not let him play point guard for a while and let him play wing.It was planned to build a team with him as the core before, but now it has given up the position of the cornerstone to Cousins.Originally, the growth cycle of this kind of ball-holding core is relatively long, so it will naturally be greatly affected by such tossing.

The two still don't have any hugs from old friends. They are not good friends with each other, and they have little contact after the draft.

The starting lineups of the two sides were announced. For the Timberwolves at home, the starting lineups are Shouba, Derek Williams, AK47, Roy and Ridnour.

For the Kings, the starting lineup is Kaoshen, Jason Thompson, James Johnson, Tyreke Evans and Thomas Jr.

The game was broadcast on the largest sports channel in China, and the host Yu Jia and guest commentator Yang Yi were responsible for the commentary.

Since Yao Ming retired from the NBA and Shou Ye joined the Timberwolves, the attention of the Timberwolves fans in China has risen rapidly.

Although Shou Ye is not a Chinese citizen, he still has Chinese blood flowing through him.There are rumors that he wants to change his nationality and return to the embrace of his motherland, which further increases his popularity in China.

Yu Jia adjusted his glasses and explained in standard Mandarin: "Hello, audience friends, everyone is welcome to watch the sports channel. Today, an NBA game will be broadcast. The game between the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Sacramento Kings at home. This game Let me and Yang Yi explain."

"Yang Yi, what do you think of this game?"

Yang Yi babbled, and then said: "This game is the first game of the season for the Timberwolves. As far as I know, their core guard Rubio will continue to recover from his injury, and power forward Love can't play, so we can't play. In this game, I saw a wonderful cooperation between Rubio and Shouba."

Yu Jia said, "What prediction do you have for Shou Ye's performance this season?"

Yang Yi took the pen, continued to babble, and then replied: "I think if Love's injury is long enough, then Shouye should have good statistics. The pity is that Rubio is expected to come back around the All-Star break. If he Now, with him passing the ball to Shou Ye, Shou Ye will play very comfortably."

Amidst the cheers of the fans at the scene, the team mascot Kulangqi waved the team flag to mobilize the atmosphere of the scene.The atmosphere in the Target Center arena reached its climax today, and the ability of the on-site DJ to mobilize the atmosphere of the fans really lived up to the high appearance fee that the team gave him.

The appearance ceremony officially began. The first player to play was point guard Ridnour, followed by shooting guard Roy.The third player is power forward Derek Williams, and the fourth player is small forward AK3!

The finale is Shou Ye!

When the DJ on the scene shouted passionately: "The last one to appear is God Shou from *** High School!"

The cheers and applause from the scene hit like a tide, which made Shou Ye very excited.Who would have thought that he would also be lucky enough to make his final appearance amidst the applause of more than 1 fans.This feeling is indeed wonderful.
