Chapter 353 [Ferocious gods and evil spirits, panic a group]
The Sonics are in urgent need of hiring, and the contract has been prepared in advance, but they are not sure whose name to sign.
After notifying the league to announce the contract, the two new players quickly took up their posts. NBA signings are so fast these days, so players will change teams and play 83 regular season games in a single season. Players changed to new clubs that had fewer games before.
If it's less, he can fight one more game.
Ben Wallace felt like he was in a dream and vowed to go all out and gain a foothold in the NBA as soon as possible. He had never dared to think that someone as unlucky as him could have a lucky day and become a member of the defending champion team.
.
Before going to Seattle for a tryout, Ben Wallace was really in extremely bad shape and had almost no luck.
Ben was born into Hell Difficulty. His hometown is Whitehall, Alabama. This is an unknown little place. If you don’t know it, you might think it is a street in London. He has a total of 11 brothers and sisters, who can form a team.
There are many substitutes in the football team. He is the tenth and the youngest among eight boys.
He was born in a slum and is somewhat different from ordinary black people. Not only does he have a father...
In addition to exercising, he also cut hair, and often cut the hair of his brothers and sisters. Later, he learned the art of barbering without a teacher, and he could earn $3 for a neighbor's haircut.
In 1991, Ben Wallace, a senior in high school, met his life mentor Charles Oakley at a basketball training camp. The latter discovered his talent in a bloody duel. He went to the training camp.
The fee is earned from the haircut.
This year, Ben Wallace clearly realized that he could become a professional NBA player. He could grow muscles even if he drank cold water, and he could compete with the famous NBA tough guy Oakley.
This means that he can adapt to NBA-level confrontations and even has physical advantages. His amazing strength and jumping, excellent mobility, and faster-than-average reaction speed make him very tough on the basketball court.
It's a pity that he is not good at shooting. Otherwise, with his physical condition, he may become a superstar on the basketball court.
In the draft, Ben was not selected, nor was he invited to try out by any team. He comforted himself that Yang Jian was also an undrafted rookie, and losing the draft did not mean the end of the world.
Soon, Celtics coach Miller Carr gave Ben a chance to represent the Celtics in the summer league. However, the team coach asked him to play swingman because of his lack of height.
He almost went crazy.
After the summer league, an Italian team sent an invitation, and Ben Wallace went to Italy to play. As a result, this informal club refused to pay him a salary because of the team's poor record, and he had no agent.
There was no way to ask for salary, so I had no choice but to return to the United States in despair.
In October, he participated in the preseason training camp of the Washington Bullets, but did not get many performance opportunities and did not get a contract. After leaving campus, he has been unable to find a job and no income. If this continues, he will have to find a job in a factory. He
I'm at a low point in my life and don't have much ideals. I just need to be a substitute if I can get a minimum salary contract.
Now his dream has come true, and he still hopes to win a championship in his rookie season. Ben Wallace is full of motivation and gave his best in the first team training.
He only knows one style of play, which is to constantly engage in physical confrontation with his opponents and use force to push them away from the penalty area. Then he will interfere with shooting, look for opportunities to steal, block shots, and grab rebounds.
His performance was too fierce, his defensive movements were a bit big, and a conflict almost broke out not long after the fight.
When he was on defense, he saw Kemp catching the ball from the right side and rushing to the basket for a dunk. He immediately retreated to the basket to cover, jumped up with all his strength and gave Kemp a big block. His strength was better than Kemp, not only destroying the dunk.
, and even made Kemp fall on his butt when he landed.
Everyone was shocked. A training match actually showed the intensity of the playoffs. This newcomer is simply a beast. He dared to block the stars of the team when he just joined.
Before this, veteran Buck Williams was a little angry.
He saw that Ben Wallace was about the same height as him, and wanted to teach the newcomer a lesson. As a result, he was unable to enter the penalty area due to resistance, and missed two shots, which was very embarrassing. In the last round, Ben Wallace was rushing before the rush.
He staggered when he was rebounding the ball on the court.
Kemp stepped forward and pushed Ben Wallace and shouted: "Are you mentally retarded? What good will it do you to hurt me?"
Everyone hurried forward to stop them, fearing that they would fight. Although Kemp was taller, Ben looked stronger. If they fought, no matter who wins the Sonics, it will get negative news.
Ben Wallace's expression looked like he didn't care, but he was actually quite panicked.
What should I do? I offended the team’s core insider on the first day of training. Isn’t it possible that I can’t stay any longer?
The minimum salary contract Ben Wallace signed is not guaranteed, and the team can cut him at any time before February. If he is not cut within that time limit, the contract will automatically be converted to guaranteed to finish the season. His goal is to finish the season.
He won't be laid off this season and has enough time to prove himself.
Ben frowned when he thought that he might be unlucky. What he was thinking about was apologizing to Kemp and asking for forgiveness, but his expression looked like he was ready to kill him, so ferocious!
Seeing this, Sam Perkins and Schrempf quickly grabbed Ben Wallace from left to right.
What's going on with this perverted killer-like aura? What did this newcomer do before?
Kemp felt a little scared after seeing Ben Wallace's expression, and he didn't dare to step forward for the second push.
Did I go too far? There seems to be nothing wrong with newbies training harder. Anyway, I wasn't injured, so why don't I just forget about it? But I feel very shameless.
At this time, Yang Jian, who did not participate in the group confrontation and was watching from the sidelines, came forward.
He patted Perkins on the back. "Sam, let him go, they can't fight. It's just that Ben just joined and wanted to show off too much. He went for the ball and didn't mean to hurt anyone."
"
Perkins immediately let go, and Schrempf did the same on the other side, both realizing they were overreacting.
Yang Jian continued: "Ben, go and apologize to Sean. Don't do such dangerous moves in training in the future. You performed very well, but you have to learn to hold back your strikes in training, and you won't be so fierce in the game."
Ben Wallace quickly bowed his head to Kemp and apologized. "I'm sorry, I was too excited. I wanted to behave better."
Yang Jian said to Kemp again: "Sean, forgive him this time. It is good for us that he is very tough, and it will be easier for us to successfully defend the title."
Kemp stepped down the steps and snorted. "Stop doing this."
"I promise there will never be a next time." Ben Wallace behaved like a soldier being trained, serious and serious.
George Karl breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines. He didn't want to sign a thorny head back. He had some expectations for Ben Wallace's defense. If he didn't have a good relationship with his teammates, he would have to give up.
Ben Wallace is willing to apologize, which shows that he has a good character, at least he is someone who can admit his mistakes.
Yang Jian knew that Ben had a fierce appearance and would constantly have physical confrontations with others when playing. In fact, this person's temper was not bad, but he was too fierce.
In a parallel world, Ben only had one fight in his 16-season career, and that was the famous battle at Auburn Hills. He didn't hit anyone that time, but just pushed Artest hard.
Just by his appearance, Ben Wallace can scare away a large number of NBA players. With his explosive muscles and fierce face, many people dare not approach him. Artest was immediately intimidated when facing Ben.
I didn't dare to PK at all. Then I ran into the stands and beat the fans in anger. It was really amazing.
George Karl replaced Ben, and Yang Jian ended up being the peacemaker and walked off the stage with him.
Yang Jian smiled and said: "Ben, don't do this kind of thing in the team in the future. You have proven yourself. I hope you will become a blue-collar star like Rodman in the future. Work hard during the game and be careful not to get injured."
"Really?" Ben's eyes lit up.
"Really, Seattle is a place where undrafted rookies are popular, and I am an example. Use your strengths and be bold. I guarantee you will get a contract extension after this season." Yang Jian made a promise.
Daben's previous worries suddenly disappeared. He felt that Yang Jian was really a good boss.
Yang Jian choked up at the sight of him. Good guy, laughing is uglier than crying. It looks like he wants to kill the whole family and eradicate the roots.
With this guy as my little brother, no one will want to fight in Seattle in the future.
