The schedule of the shortened season is very intensive.

In order to catch up, each team's schedule is rushed.

Like the 76ers, they started with five games a week, two of which were back-to-back, so you can imagine how the team has to run.

It's no wonder that some people would say that this season's schedule is good for younger teams, and older teams really can't adapt to this intensity of fixtures right away.

Even if a team with a lot of young people like the 76ers faced two back-to-backs in the first week, there were many people who had weak legs.

With four wins and one loss, it's off to a good start.

The 76ers only lost their last game to the all-young Nuggets.

No way, Denver Plateau, the Nuggets are all young people, when the 76ers came to Denver, the whole was already at the end of the crossbow, and the Nuggets just focused on one day, and in the case of one another, it was normal for the 76ers to lose.

Yao Ming didn't play in the fifth game, Stevens was afraid that he would be injured again, so he directly gave Yao Ming a holiday in the fifth game.

However, Yao Ming's average of 30 minutes per game in four games, with 22 points and 10.5 rebounds, is good enough.

Also 20+10 is Han Miao, with an average of 24 points and 12 assists per game, Han Miao is still strong, it can be seen that he is constantly improving and cooperating with Yao Ming, and when the cooperation is completed, Han Miao's data will definitely rise.

The biggest surprise in these five games came from Faried, the first game was 22+10, the second game was 16+11, the third game was 18+9, the fourth game was 12+14, and the fifth game was 10+10.

In an average of 33 minutes per game, Faried can score 15.6 points and 10.8 rebounds!

That's great stats for a rookie!

"He's really just a rookie at No. 22?"

"Damn, 76 people are low-ranking Taobao!"

"That's it, 15+10, this is definitely a qualified inside line."

Because of Faried's outstanding performance, more and more media began to pay attention to him, a low-ranked basketball teenager worked hard to pursue his dream and played enough shocking results, no matter how you look at this script, it is the life of the wild protagonist!

People were proud of Faried, and by the way, they laughed at the teams that didn't choose him.

Actually, if it weren't for Han Miao, Faried wouldn't have gone so well, in a sense, Faried would also be open!

Some people are happy, then of course some people are unhappy.

On the 76ers' side, the unhappy one is naturally Thompson.

In 5 games, Thompson also averaged 30 minutes per game, but looking at his stats, it will be a bit disappointing, especially with Faried in front, Thompson's stats are even more disappointing.

9 points in the first game, 7 points in the second, 8 points in the third, 6 points in the fourth, and 11 points in the fifth......

Thompson, how are we going to save you by doing this? The top shooter from the perimeter averaging 8.2 points per game? How can people reassure you like this?

In fact, as a rookie, it is not bad to have 8.2 points at the beginning of the first season, but I didn't see that Paul George was similar to this statistic at the beginning of last season.

However, if there is a rookie in the same grade on the same team, and this person's statistics are far superior to their own, then it will be very troublesome.

To be compared, yes.

Last year, there were 76 people, there were Han Miao, and there was also Hayward, both of them were high picks in the lotto, Han Miao was a super rookie with an average of 20+10 per game, although Hayward was not as strong as Han Miao, but he also averaged 15+ per game, among all the rookies in the same year, except for Han Miao and Wall, that is, Hayward.

So even if he is pulled out for comparison, Hayward is not afraid, because his data is not bad! Han Miao is the best rookie for a while, and so is Hayward!

But Thompson is different, Faried's data is very strong, if he averages 15+10 per game, it will definitely be no problem to keep it up for a while.

But what about Thompson? Averaged less than 9 points per game, and still want to go for a while? Come on, it's good to be in the second formation.

And the worst thing is that Thompson is the No. 6 rookie, and his performance is far inferior to the No. 22 rookie Faried, what do you think?

No, when the media praised Faried, they naturally pulled Thompson over and lashed out:

"Tsk, the performance of the No. 6 show is so bad."

"Really, the two of them have the opposite draft order, right?"

"I feel sorry for Kenneth, I was cheated during the draft."

Listen, what are these words, how can you make a conclusion after five fights?

Stevens made a strong statement in front of the media, saying that he was very happy with the team's two rookies and hoped that the media would not put so much pressure on the players.

Well, after a year as head coach, Stevens is becoming more and more protective of his calves, and he has faith in Thompson and will definitely not let outside factors affect him now.

76-person training hall.

Today is a rare day off, because I just played five games in seven days, so the whole team has a day off today.

However, when you walk into the training hall, you can naturally hear the sound of "swish" and dribbling.

Well, don't get me wrong, the 76ers didn't practice collectively, there was only one person here.

No. 7 Training Vest, Klay Thompson.

He's sweating out three-pointers, two corners, two 45-degrees, one arc top, and it's those five points, and Thompson seems to be tireless, shooting again and again.

He shot just over 30 percent from three-point range in five games, which wasn't enough for the 3-and-D player the coach gave him at the start of the season.

Coupled with his classmate Faried, who played very well, and the outside media kept making all kinds of excitement, even if Thompson was still so plain as water on the surface, there were still waves in his heart.

No one wants to be a weak person who is judged by others, and they also don't want to be far surpassed by those who were inferior to themselves in the past.

That's why Thompson took advantage of his rest day to come over and practice.

"Let's stop for a moment, you've been throwing for an hour, and if you don't stop, your arm won't be able to stand it."

Just as Thompson was about to continue his throw, a voice suddenly came from the door of the training gym.

The voice Thompson was familiar, for he had been in contact with this man for the longest time.

"Senior, why are you here?"

Hayward is the person in charge of bringing Thompson, just like Han Miao is in charge of bringing Faried, but unlike Faried, who directly calls Han Miao "boss", Thompson, who has a more introverted personality, calls Hayward "senior." ”

"Anyway, just call me by my name, you're not my fellow student, it's too polite."

Of course, it was Hayward, because Thompson was a rookie brought by himself, so he needed to know about Thompson's situation.

"Okay, Senior Hayward."

"Alas, whatever you want, how is it, have you been feeling very uncomfortable lately?"

Hayward motioned for Thompson to sit down on the side, and then prepared to talk to him.

"Alas, seeing your current situation, I think of me last year."

Thompson didn't say much, but Hayward was the first to open the conversation, he knew that it was difficult to get Thompson, the stuffy gourd, to take the initiative to speak, and it was better to come first.

"You know, Han and I entered the league in the same year, and we are also on the same team......"
