Chapter 74 Yes and the Mad Scientist

Monday, September 18, 2006, Seattle SuperSonics practice facility.

The Seattle SuperSonics' new head assistant coach Scott Brooks is taking a physical test for Yeth, who is the team's latest return.

In the NBA, every player returning from vacation will have such a test.

Teams need to use this data to make recovery plans for players.

Yees is the most important player in the Sonics right now, and his physical test will naturally attract a lot of attention.

The team's general manager Sam Presti and the team's second assistant coach Ralph Reeves are accompanying the team's new head coach Nelson Sr. to watch Yees' test.

And other Sonics players are now full of curiosity about Yass.

PJ Tucker, Paul Millsap, Jose Juan Barea, these Sonic players who have participated in the summer league, are already familiar with Yeth.

But Sonics veterans like Nick Collison, Luke Ridnour, and Chris Wilcox are not so familiar with Yass.

Every time Jess finished testing an item, player training assistants Mark Bryant and Volker Rock would send the data to Nelson and them in time.

Name: Yes

Height: 1.93 meters

Armspan: 2 meters 01

Weight: 85 kg

Bounce in place: 76cm

Approach bounce: 91 cm

100-meter speed: 10 seconds 30

Bottom line switchback run: 10 seconds 75

3/4 sprint run: 3.10 seconds

84kg bench press: 10 reps

"Yes's physical condition is very good, just like his scouting report said, extremely disciplined!"

Presti is very satisfied with Yeth's current physical condition, such a talented and self-disciplined player is his favorite.

"I wish Yes' body could be a little bloated"

The weight of 85 kg made Ralph Reeves very worried.

Such a weight is nothing in the NCAA, but it will definitely be targeted in the NBA.

Most of the NCAA players are attacking from the front, and Roy, who has the best post-up skills, is still Yes' teammate.

But in the NBA, it's a completely different story.

The first phase of the physical test was over, and Ye Si was very satisfied with his current physical condition.

He stayed with his parents in Shanghai for two months, and he insisted on running for 2 hours every day.

Generally speaking, the physical test of an NBA team is divided into two stages. The first stage is the basic test stage like Ye Si.

And the second stage is to do some alternative tests according to the requirements of the coach or the team.

For example, dribbling obstacle course, or one-legged circling, etc., which test other talents and abilities.

Every coach or every team has different requirements.

Ye Si was not that familiar with Old Nelson, so he didn't know what his request was.

"Yes, the next test, the fast break three-pointer test!"

Fast break three-point shot test?

Another fast-break three-point test!

The expressions of the other supersonic outside players on the sidelines of the training field became ugly in an instant.

Hearing the instruction from Scott Brooks, Ye Si also froze for a moment. Has this mad scientist admitted his choice of shooting three-pointers during the fast break?

Not only agreed, but also promoted?

At the University of Washington, he is the only player who can throw a three-pointer on a fast break.

Coach Romar will not be generalized to other people.

Coach Romar's heart is not that tough, it is enough to have Yes to test his heart.

Ye Si is the latest Sonic player to return to the team. Before Ye Si, the other perimeter players of the Sonics have actually been asked by the old Nelson.

Old Nelson's fast-break three-pointer test is very abnormal. In the current basketball world,

Except for Yes, no one shoots 3s on regular fast breaks.

Nelson used to lead the Mavericks and the Warriors before, and he never asked his players to throw three-pointers during the fast break.

NBA players have never done things, let them do it, and the test results will of course be horrible.

Fast-break three-pointers, all open shots, their shooting percentage is not even 30%!

During the fast break, you can score two points steadily by hitting the basket, and you can shoot three-pointers outside, and you will finish if you miss it. This will put a lot of pressure on the players.

However, that's the other Sonics perimeter players, not Yass.

66...44...72...56...65...

Feeling okay today.

Fast-break shooting three-pointers, this is his trademark, and it is also the origin of his nickname Garfield Hurricane!

"So fast! No, so accurate!"

Ye Si quickly dribbled the ball across the frontcourt, and when he reached the top of the three-point line, he pulled it up directly.

With a swipe, the sound of the basketball hitting the net left the supersonic players on the scene stunned.

Yeth's fast-break three-pointer is too determined, completely different from the timidity of other Sonics players!

Old Nelson, who had been standing on the sidelines without saying anything, nodded after Ye Si hit.

This is why he rejected the Warriors and was willing to coach Yes!

Yes's hurricane performance in the NCAA opened a new door to his basketball world!

He's a mad scientist, and the phenomenon of Hurricane Garfield is definitely the most interesting subject of study!

Yeth's fast-break three-point test continued.

At the top of the arc, 45 degrees to the left and 45 degrees to the right, the three shooting points are constantly changing, and the Supersonic players on the sidelines are dazzled.

"The test is over, 24 of 30 shots, 80% hit rate!"

Scott Brooks could hear the gasps from the sidelines when he called out the stat.

80% hit rate!

Converted into a score, it is 2.4 points. Others have a maximum of 2 points for a fast break, and Yes has 2.4 points for a fast break!

This is scary!

And Scott Brooks found that the expression on Ye Si's face was still a little dissatisfied.

Jess is really not very satisfied. He used to shoot 90% of fast-break three-pointers in NCAA training!

"The three-point line in the NBA is far away, and my three-point attributes are not high enough"

With his current attributes, it is indeed the limit to do this.

"In the next test, someone defends the ball and advances to a three-pointer!"

Dribbling for a three-pointer?

Even Ye Si didn't dare to play this project before!

Fast-break three-pointers, no one is defending, he can see the touch, so he has a lot of confidence.

Advance three points, this is defended!

Although the defender will be caught off guard, he still shoots against the opponent!

This mad scientist is even crazier than Ye Si imagined!

"How does Mr. Nelson feel?"

“Better than I expected”

Yeth's fast-break three-point shooting percentage is extremely high, but his three-point shooting percentage is very ordinary.

"I admire Yes' attitude when he shoots the ball. He is determined, decisive, and brave. Yes is the player I have always dreamed of!"

Right now Yes's three-point push isn't at a level that could set off a storm in the NBA, but Yes has the potential.

Because he didn't see any hesitation on Yes' face!

This kind of spiritual power of Yes is what he wants most!

Nelson Sr. was happy with Yees, and the Sonics players in the training facility could tell.

The Seattle media and fans who came here to watch Yess' first supersonic practice were also very happy.

It is a happy thing that the team's new boss and the team's new head coach are in harmony.

However, since there are those who are satisfied, there are also those who are not satisfied.

"Basketball is not a three-point contest. Those who get inside win the world. No matter how good the three-point shot is, can they win the championship? Maybe the NCAA can. The NBA and NCAA are two completely different worlds!"

If such a brand new team can be harmonious, then there is really a problem.

The supersonic speed has never been short of thorns.

Regardless of whether Wilcox said this sentence intentionally or unintentionally, everyone on and off the court looked at Yes at this time.

"Mr. Nelson, I'm applying for a team practice match!"

Obviously, Wilcox may have been preparing for a long time, waiting for Ye Si to return to the team and challenge Ye Si.

"Yes, what do you think?"

"I have no opinion"

It's just a practice match, it doesn't matter.

"Okay, Yes, let's choose someone first."

Nelson Sr. and Presti are also looking forward to what kind of performance Yeth can perform in an NBA-intensive practice game.

Yes's talent is outstanding, but no matter how talented a player is, he needs a whetstone to grow.

Wilcox is a good whetstone.

Jess looked around at the veteran players of the Sonics, and some of the veteran players' eyes were not friendly.

In the end, Ye Si still set his sights on those rookie players.

Center Milicic, power forward Paul Millsap, small forward PJ Tucker, shooting guard Yeth, point guard JJ Barea, these are the players Yeth picked.

"Aren't these people selected by Yes too weak? They are all rookies, and no one has NBA experience except Milicic"

Although everyone discussed in private that they would give Yes a bad name, when Yes chose them, they refused, embarrassing Yes.

But Yes directly skipped them and chose those rubbish newcomers, which still made Wilcox and the others feel severely humiliated.

"Yes, you haven't played an NBA game yet, let us introduce you to each other"

"Take me to know about NBA games?"

Those familiar Pistons players suddenly appeared in Ye Si's mind.

"Yes, are we okay? It doesn't matter if we lose, but if it hurts you..."

Tucker was very worried, this is the boss he just recognized!

Millsap and Barea are worried, too. The more Yes trusts them, the weaker they become.

Milicic, on the other hand, was expressionless and looked numb.

"Don't worry, winning should be fine"

Should it be okay to win?

Yes, are you a little too confident?

It's hard to be reassured!

Most of us are rookies who haven't played a single NBA game!

Yes, you have never played an NBA game, have you? !

"The gap between us and Yes is too great!"

This confidence is really unacceptable.

"So what about the chosen one, I don't know what will happen in the future, next season, Yes will be selected by the Supersonics to assist me!"

Wilcox is confident, Nick Collison is speechless.

Coach, can I quit?

I don't want to team up with this guy!

However, the Supersonics currently have ten players who can play, and Collison can't quit even if he wants to...
