The preseason training camp for the 2004-05 season seemed no different from the previous years.
When Yu Fei arrived, he saw Haslem hard at work practicing his jump shots.
Not practicing threes was Haslem's final stand, but he believed that there was still a need to develop his mid-range game.
After watching for a while, Yu Fei went to greet the two rookies selected by the team this year.
Kevin Martin and Trevor Ariza were among the earliest to arrive at the camp, and one glance was enough to understand their styles.
Martin's quirky shooting motion and the silky smoothness of his touch, along with Ariza's explosive athletic talents, were immediately apparent.
Even though the Bucks' two draft picks were widely criticized after the draft, and many within the team also had their doubts, Yu Fei believed they would vindicate themselves sooner or later.
However, growing too slowly wasn't good either; they needed some friendly advice.
