Chapter 854 (1/2)

The day before the Grizzlies and Spurs start training, the defending champion ushered in a new member.

While everyone was still warming up, a big guy with long arms and strong body came in from the gate of the training hall.

In an instant, all the people stopped their hands and looked at the strange face for a long time.

”God, look at him. He can scare people by standing under the basket and doing nothing.” Tony Allen looked at the new man at the door who was as fit as Pau Gasol and couldn't help joking.

Just then, team coach Dave Joel came out of the office and waved to the big man standing at the door. ”Hassan, come here and introduce yourself to everyone.”

Whiteside nodded and walked to the middle of the training ground. The rest of the Grizzlies gave Whiteside enough respect, kept quiet, and got together.

”Hello, my name is Hassan Whiteside, from California, North Carolina. Just signed a 10 day contract with the Grizzlies, hoping to help everyone Whiteside's attitude was very modest, which made Joel smile with satisfaction.

Because Whiteside was not what it is now. If he had this humble attitude, he might not have been unable to get along in the NBA.

”Well, Hassan, you'll train with us today. The next arrangement, you listen to the trainer. By the way, don't mess with him. Hassan scored 24 points, 16 rebounds and 4 blocks in the Development League last game. This guy is a real danger Joel ended Whiteside's simple entry ceremony with a joke.

Then they dispersed and Whiteside started training at the request of the trainer.

Link looked at the green Whiteside, thinking of tomorrow's game, still very worried.

Indeed, in the original history, Whiteside seized the opportunity of a 10 day short contract in Miami.

But Whiteside was lucky to be back in Miami. Because the heat at that time was very suitable for Whiteside.

”Birdman” Anderson injured, bosh injured, mcroberts season reimbursement, Haslem 2 m 03 height and moisture... The heat's interior line vacancy is bigger than Grizzlies, more no one can use.

As a result, Whiteside had many opportunities.

At that time, the heat relied on Whiteside inside, and everyone cheered for him. His teammates couldn't count on it, they could only rely on themselves.

As it happens, the team's main attacker is not on the inside, and Whiteside is able to do his best and just think about rebounds and defense. It can be said that no team's living environment is better than the heat at that time.

But in the Grizzlies, Pau Gasol must have been an unstoppable starter. It's not known if Whiteside can still succeed as a substitute.

Whiteside was the rookie of 2010, the same time as link. But for the past five years, when link dominated the league, Whiteside played in all kinds of low-level leagues.

In addition to the NBA Development League, Whiteside has been to Lebanon and China. Of course, Whiteside can't even play CBA in China. He plays NBL. Simple understanding, can be compared to China's second level basketball league.

This kind of player, the normal judgment is impossible to have anything to do in the NBA. Link believes that Joel and Chris Wallace just want to gamble, and they don't expect too much from Whiteside.

However, link is also curious about how a player with such a bad resume suddenly succeeded. If he really has potential, how has the past five years been ignored?

Link went to the office to find Joel, who wanted to know more about Whiteside.

Link doesn't have to help Whiteside get a foothold in the NBA. He just doesn't want to lose to the annoying spurs.
