Yabusele, the 120 kilos of dancer that amaze Real Madrid

There is a new idol in the Palace.

A sturdy guy who cheats at first sight and instantly falls in love, 120 kilos with dancer's feet, the run run first and then the amazement.

A Frenchman who at 25 got tired of wandering.

, but

(Dreux, France, 1995) has become "a basic player" in two months.

"We are very happy with his performance," the man from Vitoria surrendered.

The attitude of the Frenchman says it, his dedication always accompanied by smiles, his elegant movements of 'Dancing Bear', as he likes to be called. And this is brutally corroborated by the numbers of this hopeful start to the Real Madrid season. Nobody played so many minutes, nobody scored that much (13.5 points in the Euroleague, where this Thursday they host

Fenerbahçe

). Injuries to

him. Because, with the departure of

to the NBA, Yabusele is the only four in the squad along with youth squad

.

What is striking (and at the same time scary) seeing him throw the team on his back as soon as he arrives, scoring triples above 40%, almost six rebounds a night and dunks of pure physical exuberance from those who lift the stands, is how Such a pearl has arrived at Real Madrid with the impossible that the market is. With the insatiable claws of the NBA trapping every loose talent. And you have to look back to understand. Because Guerschon was already there and it was not entirely pleasant.

Despite not having turned 26, the career of the international power forward with France (he hung the silver around his neck in the past Games), is full of ineffable adventures.

He was trained in the Chorale Roanne quarry - although his first sport was boxing, due to his father's influence - and played a season in the first gala with Rouen.

By then, he was already considered one of the great international projects and the Celtics chose him in position 16 in the 2016 draft.

But before making the leap to the NBA, Guerschon, whose parents came to France from the Congo, chose the Chinese temptation, a season in the Shanghai Sharks in which he averaged more than 20 points per game.

Golden refuge of veterans and Americans with more desire to fatten their bank account than their record, the presence of the twenty-year-old in Asia attracted attention.

In March 2019 he arrived at the Celtics, where he combined his work with the Development League team (Maine Red Claws). 74 games in two seasons (very few minutes) of green and more sympathy than performance. His celebrations became famous, his music in the dressing room and when he was cut he was already the favorite of the Garden stands.

He returned to China (Nanjing Monkey Kings), where he was fined 1,500 euros for looking away from the national flag during the anthem, and in February 2020, just before the pandemic, he unknowingly took the first step towards which today is your destiny. Because then,

recruited him for the French ASVEL Villeurbanne, back to the origins. And just before everything exploded, in the last game of the Euroleague before the closure by the covid, he visited Madrid. “That day we saw the potential of what could be an interesting player for us. Damn, there's something here! ”Pablo Laso acknowledged yesterday.

"Then we followed him and saw his potential and the qualities he had to play with us."

At the end of last season, where he continued to impress with ASVEL, it was already known that The Dancing Bear would be white.
