In Ye Qiu's previous life, the big book had always been covered in dust because he had too few opportunities.
In addition, Ye Qiu knew what kind of playstyle the 76ers would play this season. To put it bluntly, it would be like Xia Jiba throwing things around in the 90s.
Think about it, if Big Ben was here, he could build a good relationship with Big Ben. When Big Ben grabbed the rebound and threw it to him, wouldn't that be nice?
As a rookie who had begun to think about usurping the throne before entering the NBA, Ye Qiu knew very well that it was impossible for him to influence the team's management at this time. Therefore, if he could form cliques on the team, how could he not?
After making up his mind, Ye Qiu decided to play it by ear.
After all, he was only a rookie. If he really couldn't do it, Ye Qiu wouldn't be stupid enough to go against the coaching staff.
However, what Ye Qiu didn't expect was that he and Iverson had just walked into the coach's office.
Jason and Rick looked at them as if they were looking for their saviors and asked,""Alan, Ye, do you know any free agents who are close to you? Our summer league roster is still short of two players. We all agree that if there are players who have a good relationship with you, the team's tacit understanding will be higher when you work together."
Ye Qiu was shocked! This was not because he wanted to interfere with the coaching staff and manipulate the management. This was what the coaching staff wanted him to recommend.
After Iverson shook his head, Ye Qiu looked at Jason and Rick and smiled."Mr. Coach, I have a friend who is very good at defense. He also participated in the draft this year, but unfortunately, he was not selected. But please believe me, he definitely has the ability. He is not tall, but he is very good at rebounding and blocking.”
After listening to Ye Qiu's introduction, Jason and Rick were overjoyed. They really wanted to get to know Ye Qiu's friend.
To put it bluntly, the main point of the introduction move had to be picked.
In Ye Qiu's introduction, he had mainly highlighted this player's defensive rebounding and blocking skills. To Jason and Rick, wasn't this the "head of defense" they had been looking for?
"What's the name of your friend?”Jason and Rick asked curiously.
"Ben Wallace, from the United University of Texas.”Ye Qiu said according to his memories.
"United University of Texas? NCAA Division Two?" Jason asked.
Yes, although he is from the second division, sir, he often practices with me during the holidays. Oh right, Kobe is often blocked by him.”Ye Qiuke said.
On the side, after hearing that Ye Qiu's friend often blocked Kobe, Iverson also became curious about Ye Qiu's friend.
"Wait, Ben Wallace, why does this name sound so familiar?”Jason suddenly scratched his head.
"The young man who has been standing outside the building for the past two days seems to be called Ben Wallace," Rick reminded him.”
Jason was shocked, thinking that it couldn't be such a coincidence.
" Ye, I want to confirm that the Ben Wallace you mentioned is not," Jason asked.
Ye Qiu nodded." Yes, I was the one who suggested that he come to Philadelphia and give it a try.”
"I see."
In fact, Jason and Rick had seen Ben Wallace's information, but they thought he was too short.
But since this guy was Ye Qiu's friend, what did it matter if he was shorter?
In order to keep their jobs and complete the mission Klaus gave them, Jason and Rick were so realistic.
Shortly after, Wallace, who had been standing outside in the cold wind, was called in by Rick.
Originally, Wallace thought that his sincerity had moved the 76ers. However, just as he was about to introduce himself…
"We plan to sign a contract with you for the summer league. We'll just take care of food and accommodation. Are you willing?”Jason asked.
Ben Wallace was stunned! What was going on?
Looking at the confused Ben Wallace, in order to prevent him from spilling the beans, Ye Qiu walked in front of him in time and hooked his elbow around his neck. He whispered in his ear,"If you want to play in the Summer League and NBA, shut up and follow my lead.”
Ben Wallace nodded. His IQ was not high. It was because of his poor results that he did not make it to the NCAA Division One.
But he wasn't stupid. Although he didn't know why the 76ers were willing to sign with him, in Ben Wallace's opinion, wasn't this the opportunity he had been longing for?
"You're really something. When you came to submit your resume, why didn't you say that you were Ye's friend?”Jason asked with a puzzled look.
Friends?
Ben Wallace could swear on his conscience that this was definitely his first meeting with Ye Qiu.
"Sir, please forgive Ben. He didn't hide it on purpose. He just wanted his strength to be recognized.”Ye Qiu gave Ben Wallace a look as he explained.
Looking at Ye Qiu's fiery eyes, Ben Wallace hurriedly nodded.”
"Well, that's it. Let your agent look at the agreement. If there's no problem, we'll sign the contract. After signing, you'll be a member of the 76ers Summer League.”Jason threw a document on the table and looked at Ben Wallace.
It had to be said that whether it was in China or abroad, there was a huge difference.
Jason's attitude when talking to Big Ben, when talking to Iverson, and when talking to Ye Qiu, it was obvious that they were two different people.
Thus, Ben Wallace signed with the Philadelphia 76ers with a dumbfounded look on his face. Although it was only a summer league contract, it included food and accommodation. Who cared!
