Compared to other second-round picks who have to play summer league to determine whether they have a chance to stay in the NBA, Ye Han was lucky, and the next day Bobcats manager Byrne Price invited the two siblings to the café to discuss contracts with Okafor. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Unlike those older teams that need reinforcements, the new team is not attractive, and it is important to stabilize the team's existing assets as soon as possible.

As a new army, the other Bobcats players are all selected from the eight players retained by other teams, and it is difficult to hear that except for Ye Han and Okafor, they are not people who other teams want, so signing the two of them first is the top priority of Bobcats.

After Noah's hard negotiations, the contract amount successfully increased by 100,000. 1.7 million for two years, non-guarantee in the second year, Ye Han happily signed the contract.

After the hot rookies signed their contracts, they all attended a lot of events, a lot of press conferences, Okafor, Ben Gordon and even signed endorsements with Adidas.

As for Ye Han, no one has been interested, and he came to the small town of Charlotte with Noah.

Charlotte, arguably the most backward capital in the United States, is home to more than 60 percent of its population as farmers.

As the capital of North Carolina, Charlotte is a perfect representation of the state, which is sparsely populated, with a population of less than one million as the capital.

Charlotte is a very small and pristine city, with an area of less than 10 million people in 130,000 square kilometers, and 60% of the population is farmers.

Ye Han has been in China for 16 years, and he was very unaccustomed to it when he first came to the United States, one of which is that the United States is too "rustic" compared to China.

Hartford, the capital of Connecticut, is similar to the third-tier cities in China, far less than the provincial capitals in China, such as Shanghai and Shenzhen, which can be seen in New York and Los Angeles, and is still a prosperous area.

Charlotte ...... In Ye Han's view, it is a township, and there are very few buildings with more than five floors, only four tall shopping malls in the center of the city and the building as the center of the World Bank, which is very conspicuous and simple enough.

In fact, although there are few people here, and most of them are farmers, like most of the wealthy cities in the United States, the economy here is very good, and the light industry and agricultural and sideline products are very famous in the United States.

It's not for nothing that the Bobcats chose to bring the NBA team back to the city again, at least the people here won't be stingy with money to buy tickets to watch the game, no, the first season of the Bobcats hasn't started yet, and the packages have long been sold out.

Due to its sparse population, housing prices are very cheap and rents are cheap, with a single-family villa on the outskirts of the city, less than three kilometers from Time Warner Center, the Bobcat arena, for $1,000.

It's a suburb, and it's only a twenty-minute drive from the city center.

When they came to their new home, it was no surprise that Ye Han and Noah would live here for at least a year.

Hearing the landlord say that this villa covering an area of 200 square meters, that is, covering an area of about 600 square meters, with 5 rooms, 3 living rooms, a swimming pool, a home theater, and a basketball court, is priced at 300,000 US dollars, Ye Han was stunned, the property tax of nearly three percent a year is a headache for ordinary middle-class families, but it is not a matter for Ye Han now! If 2.4 million wants to buy such a big house in China, it can probably only be in the mountains.

This landlord has long wanted to sell the house, and now it is only rented out so as not to lose money, and there is nothing left except property tax.

After settling down at home, Ye Han came to the team meeting the next day.

The first thing we did was train in the team.

The Bobcats have a really bad roster, and everyone is fringe on other teams except for Steve Smith, an old All-Star.

Gerard Wallace, the 01 first-round pick he got from the Kings, this year is the last year of his contract, he averaged 3 points per game after playing in the NBA for three years, although he had flashes from time to time, but unfortunately the Kings as a playoff regular, or even a championship contender, did not have his space, and was abandoned in the past in the contract year.

With a height of two meters and one meters, a weight of ninety-eight kilograms, a strong physical fitness, and a standard small forward figure, he is very aggressive, and he was picked up by the Bobcats.

Okafor is very tough! There is also a jumper in the restricted area, which explodes all the opposing interior lines with a crushing attitude in team training, and Jamal Thompson and Jahidi White, two centers who have started with the Magic and the Suns last season, are no match for Okafor, which makes Bickerstaff breathe a sigh of relief.

In the past few years, there have been too many high-pick big men on the inside line, Okafor has been thriving in the NCAA, and the Bobcats were able to select him thanks to the Magic who selected the high school student, but Bickerstaff and the management are still very worried, after all, the big man on the list selected by the Grizzlies two years ago was a mess, and the big man on the list of the Pistons last year was even more watery, and now I see Okafor has a bit of Duncan's shadow, so that the heart of the Bobcats management is finally relaxed.

When it comes to Summer League, Gerard Wallace and Okafor are an invincible combination, and as long as the two are on the floor, the opposing team of rookies and underdrafts and NBDL players can't stop them at all.

The call for Okafor's best rookie is getting louder and louder, and the Magic's No. 1 pick, Howard, has upset Orlando fans, and there is basically no offense with the ball, and in the summer league, where everyone is in a hurry to show themselves, completely lost.

Also unable to get the right to shoot is Ye Han, the team's point guards Eddie House and Jason Hart, the two one-meter-eighty-five point guards, are two lone wolves, in order to compete for the starter, the two shot desperately.

However, it also allowed Ye Han to show his own characteristics and grabbed a lot of offensive rebounds, which made Bickerstaff's eyes shine.

Ye Han averaged 15 minutes per game in the summer league, and he could get seven or eight rebounds per game, most of which were offensive rebounds, and the outside was too iron.

But it was just a summer league and it didn't make much of an impact.

After the summer league, the Bobcats lineup was finalized.

Point guards: Eddie House, Jason Hart, Blevin Knight, the first two are backup point guards from other teams, Knight is a free agent this year, and was favored by the Bobcats to sign a three-year, $10 million contract.

All three point guards are short, and Knight is shorter than House and Hart, at 1.75 meters.

Compared to House and Hart, Bickerstaff likes Knight for his passing, although he is short, he is a first-class passer, and he averaged 7.2 assists per game in his seven-year career, and his highest season was 10 points and 8.6 assists per game in the Cavaliers, which was his rookie year.

Knight played in the Suns last season, but unfortunately the Suns already had Marbury, Marbury is different from Kidd and needs a lot of ball possession, Knight was given up by the Suns, just cheap Bobcats, and got this 30-year-old high-quality point guard who is playing in his year.

Shooting guards: Ye Han, Temar Sly.

Well, the Bobcats only have Ye Han as a scoring guard, and Sly is a player at the end of the Nets bench, who has played for two years and scored 12 points, basically without a chance to play.

This is also the point that Noah and Ye Han are very satisfied with being selected by the Bobcats, and the Bobcats didn't even have a scoring guard when Ye Han was selected! Therefore, Ye Han must have a lot of opportunities to perform in his rookie year.

This is also the reason why the Bobcats were in a hurry to sign the contract after selecting Ye Han, and in the past year, while observing Okafor, the Bobcats management was very impressed with Ye Han.

Small forwards: Gerald Wallace, Steve Smith, Jason Capono, Theron Smith.

Wallace relied on his excellent summer performance to lock in the Bobcats' starting small forward position, and Steve Smith is still no problem playing off the bench despite his age.

Jason Capo, a rookie from the Cavaliers last year, can play both small forward and shooting guard, and his defense is extremely bad, but his three-point accuracy and nearly 50% three-point shooting rate led Bickerstaff to sign him in the summer league in hopes of filling the firepower of the bench.

Theron Smith, well, another big one.

Power forwards: Melvin Eli, Emeka Okafor.

Centre-forwards: Jahidi White, Jamal Sampson, Primoz Blazek.

In this heyday of big forwards and point guards, every team has good power forwards and point guards, except for the Bobcats, it is naturally impossible for the high-quality power forwards of other teams to be picked by the Bobcats, and among those lists that the Bobcats pick at will, the best is Eli, who averaged 5 points and 4 rebounds per game in the 11 minutes of playing time in the Clippers last season, with a good efficiency.

In this era of withering centers, the Bobcats were able to get Okafor and let Charlotte fans see the hope of the team, at least not the emergence of a permanent bad team.

Bickerstaff ultimately decided to play Okafor as a power forward and form a twin-tower lineup with Primoz Blazek, who he received from the Pacers.

Blazek's height of two meters and one six, lateral movement and single defense are eye-catching, the first three seasons in the Pacers did not get a chance to play, the Pacers have O'Neal Jr., Artest, Stephen Jackson three people gathered in the frontcourt, and they are all iron man-like existences, naturally there is no room for others to play.

It's fair to say that the Bobcats have found another good role player.

In this way, the Bobcats' lineup is actually okay, at least much better than the Hawks next door, and the Hawks are not as attractive as the Bobcats lineup except for the big-butted Anthony Walker.

In September, everyone who confirmed the lineup of the Bobcats finally took a month off and waited for the training camp in October.
