"Ding Yanyuhang, 21 years old, 200 cm tall, 197 cm wingspan, 254 cm tall standing..."

Sun Ce looked at Ding Yanyuhang's physical test data and only read two of them, he almost choked him.

This arm span is aimed at the prospective chairman of the Blue Association!

However, when Sun Ce saw his ability to run and jump, he was a little surprised.

"We weigh 95 kg, vertical bounce 87 cm, running jump 96 cm, and maximum touch height 350 cm."

"The advantages are excellent in horizontal movement, strong enthusiasm, good at confrontation.

Disadvantages: explosive power, usually jumping in the confrontation."

The free throws and three-pointers in the basic test were not tested, mainly because the opponent was not used to it, the NBA's three-point line and free throw line.

Moreover, just looking at the very pertinent comments given by Tim Hardaway in the end, you know that it is difficult for Ding Yanyuhang to have the opportunity to enter the roster of development players when changing teams.

Indeed, Sun Ce knew that Ding Yanyuhang was far from the NBA level, but in the 8 games of the Basketball World Cup this summer, except for Sun, Yi Jianlian and Zhu Fangyu, the only national team who scored in double digits in a single game was Ding Yanyuhang.

From September 19 to October 8, the national team also participated in the Asian Games. Yi Jianlian did not participate this time and only won the fifth place. Ding Yanyuhang was the national team with the most scores in single games, with 7 games.

Scored in double 5 times in the match.

Originally, Sun Ce thought that Ding Yanyuhang would try to play the Development League, and he said it clearly that it was the Development League. Ding Yanyuhang might not agree. After all, Ding Yanyuhang is the core of the Shandong team in China, and his annual salary is almost 1 million US dollars.

.

But on the evening of the 2nd, the morning of the 3rd in China, asked Yao Ming to notify Ding Yanyuhang, and he arrived in Memphis on the morning of the 4th!

Now domestic basketball is very different from more than 10 years ago. If players have the opportunity to go to the NBA, the club will release people. Of course, the premise is to return to China to play basketball or play in the original club, and the contract depends on the time of the trip.

Delay it.

After yesterday's training, Sun Ce went to the hotel to see this national teammate and chatted. Today, the Grizzlies ended the training camp and held a team trial. They wanted to choose two "development players" as the team.

In reserve, Ding Yanyuhang got a chance to try out alone.

However, if you don’t have the ability of NBA, it doesn’t mean you don’t have the ability of the development league players. It’s true that Ding Yanyuhang performed well among the players in the trial training, but most of the people who come to the trial training cannot play NBA. The Grizzlies

The 15-man roster here is already full, and those veterans with certain strength will not come to them for trial training. The Lakers, Bulls, and Spurs are all similar.

Since the Grizzlies have been having rookies in the Development League in recent years, they are not too embarrassed to borrow the quota of the Falcons and Luo Feng team next door. At the end of the NBDL League last season, NBA officially held an expanded registration for the Development League team.

At that time, Grizzlies owner Robert Pera invested $4 million to establish a new team, Memphis Fighting Team, whose team name was determined by local fans' votes.

NBDL matches are usually in the afternoon, because local TV stations have live broadcasts, and occasionally NBA and NBDL will definitely overlap when schedules overlap. Not to mention live broadcast conflicts, there are so many local TV stations that they can’t even grab the ratings.

The head of the Grizzlies' NBDL team is the team's press officer Chris Kyle's younger brother Isaiah Kyle. Sun Ce asked Isaiah Kyle and asked, the undraft signed by the team this year was abandoned

There is really no player better than Ding Yanyuhang in the second round pick, overseas players, past free agents, and outside.

Since this is the case, Sun Ce first consulted Chris Wallace and received a positive response.

Players can be replaced. If the team really has an injury and needs at least two players to take over, then sign others.

Moreover, 21-year-old Ding Yanyuhang still has room for improvement.

After receiving a positive response, Sun Ce did not immediately help Ding Yanyuhang respond, but he had to agree.

...

After the trial in the morning, Sun Ce arranged for Ding Yanyuhang to have lunch at the restaurant in the square outside the stadium and told Ding Yanyuhang about the actual situation.

I didn't deliberately say nice things and gave extra hope, and just tell the truth, telling the team's true expectations for Ding Yanyuhang.

Leave it to Ding Yanyuhang himself how to choose.

Sun Ce knew that in the future, Ding Yanyuhang, who was 25 or 26 years old, would choose to play in the Development League, but now Ding Yanyuhang, Sun Ce didn't know.

After all, people will change. Now Ding Yanyuhang has just started to make a lot of money. He is reluctant to give up his high salary in China and goes to NBDL to get a salary of up to $75,000 a year.

This salary was only increased from US$35,000 last season after NBA increased its investment in NBDL.

To Sun Ce's expectations, Ding Yanyuhang agreed without thinking: "I chose to stay. If I can get a two-way contract, there will be a chance. I want to play in NBA like you, like Alian, I will

effort."

I didn't feel discouraged because I didn't get the chance to play in NBA, nor did I want to rely too much on others.

Ding Yanyuhang's reaction made Sun Ce feel that this young player is very good.

However, Sun Ce is not very optimistic about Ding Yanyuhang's ability to join the NBA in the end, but he has the ability to create opportunities for this national teammate, so he can do it a favor.

...

...

Ding Yanyuhang joined the Memphis Fighting Team and signed a development player contract with the Grizzlies for the 2014-2015 season, which caused another stir in China.

Some people, Sun Ce felt that they really had no family. No matter what they did, they would criticize them. Someone actually posted online to ask why they couldn’t help Ding Yanyuhang enter the NBA directly... Sun Ce opened a small account and replied - Are you paying?

There are always rational people, and the majority are the ones. Sun Ce's answer illuminates a lot.

For Sun Ce, this is just a small episode. After Ding Yanyuhang signed a standard contract and went to the fighting team to report, Sun Ce no longer paid attention to this matter and continued to devote himself to preparing for the new season.

During the training camp, the Grizzlies regained several sets of tactics commonly used in the past few years, and the top priority was the division of roles.

Two defensive lineups are mainly Randolph and Larry Sanders, Aldridge and Gobert, and the running and bomber lineup is mainly Paul George, Sun Ce and Yi Jianlian.

There is also a new tactic that may be used this season.

This year, the team's assistant coach Chris Irving went to NCAA to be the head coach. The Grizzlies recruited a new assistant coach - former Nuggets head coach Brian Shaw.

An alternative triangle offense with Sunce, Klay Thompson and Paul George as the core.

Unlike the Lakers and the Bulls, we have to build a tactic around the three-pointers, Sun Ce's low post and Klay Thompson's three-pointers... and other positions.

Sun Ce heard that Brian Xiao had several hairs, but he lost half of his hair as the head coach of the Nuggets last year. After being fired, he tried to find a job again, but no team was interested in the triangle offense. Xia Tian was very frustrated.

At that time, the Grizzlies extended an olive branch to him and recruited him as an assistant coach, saying that they wanted to create a triangular offensive tactic for Sun Ce.

In Brian Shaw's opinion, the first player in the league should play in triangular offense, and he also admitted that the assistant coach was not that no other team wanted him to be an assistant coach, but he just wanted to use his rich tactical library instead of triangular offense

, but he chose to accept the Grizzlies' invitation.

As a result, Brian Shaw, who came to the Grizzlies excitedly, found that this team was completely a group of evil capitalists who wanted to squeeze out his last few hairs!

But there is no way. Although there are too many requests, they have already entered the thief's nest. Brian Xiao can only watch the game video of Sun Ce, Klay Thompson and Paul George every day to observe other Grizzlies players.

Features, thinking, research, and then discuss with the team's offensive assistant David Fitzdale.

After the regular training, the team took time to try Brian Shaw...

Finally, the training camp just ended, and Brian Shaw was completely bald!

...

"Sister, don't worry, I will definitely keep an eye on my brother, um... OK, I understand... Yes..."

Sun Ce looked at Zue and Lily Collinstone’s video call and felt that this talkative sister was in vain!

In Los Angeles, Lily Collins' due date is almost here. It has been 37 weeks. He has been admitted to the senior ward early and is ready for delivery at any time.

Originally, Lily Collins wanted to play at home for two more weeks on the grounds that it was not the first time she had a baby, but Sun Ce's mother refused and moved directly to the hospital to stay and stared at it every day.

Even if I want to wear a wedding dress in summer, my mother rejected me. I was worried that the weather was too hot and the fetus would have problems, so I had to wait until next year.

Fortunately, it is normal for European and American children to get married when they are several years old.

Although it was not very suitable for British habits to stay in the hospital early, Lily Collins did not complain about it when she had a baby last time.

In general, Sun Ce felt that it was a good thing that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law wanted to accommodate each other, worried that the other party would not adapt to their customs and habits, so when it was important time points, the side that made sense always had the upper hand.

The first game day of the preseason is here, with only five preseason games this year, and the Grizzlies have only brought three informal roster players to the preseason this year.

Terrence Thomas, No. 4 pick in 2006, was selected by Russ Smith, the 22nd pick in the second round of this year by the 76ers, and Ding Yanyuhang.

Terrence Thomas hasn't played in the NBA for two years, and Russ Smith was given up by the 76ers. If it were in previous years, these two players probably wouldn't have the chance to enter the NBA. It's not that they can't, they have no chance.

However, the new development special case of NBA has given these players who should be far from NBA to show their abilities in NBA. If a team is injured, they may play, and may get the team's contract or other goals.

Team's trading quote.

I haven't watched the game on site for half a year. Zuo E is very excited today. Although Sun Ce, Yi Jianlian and Klay Thompson do not play tonight, they mainly examine the tactical core style of Paul George and Aldridge, Zuo E likes it.

Sun Ce is in the team, so for Paul George, who has made progress this summer, new players Aldridge, and two Hall of Fame-level veterans.

On the night of the 5th, the Grizzlies ushered in the preseason opening game with the Magic.

For them this season, last year's performance last year is equivalent to being in vain. The selected Tanhua Show Embiid has no other news except Twitter to give advice and Rihanna's tricks. It is said that it will be restored.

It's not that bad, there is a risk of a second surgery, and it's still under observation.

The Magic, which has no suspense, will continue to play badly this season.

But Vucevic is really amazing. In tonight's game, he faced Aldridge, Randolph, Larry Sanders and Gobert's successive defense, and scored 24 points and 10 shots with 8 of 19 shots.

2 assists on the board.

But Vucevic's defense...is about the weight strengthening. Whiteside, who has no blocking, has a good protection in the three-second area, but due to the explosive power and bounce speed, Yi Jianlian rushed in and dunked one, and could not expand.

Going out, he was hung up by Aldridge and Yi Jianlian.

The tonnage was not as strong as it was, like Aldridge, and was beaten by Randolph...
To be continued...
