Chapter 895
Chapter 149: Jealousy!
Philadelphia 76ers starters: center: Al Jefferson, power forward: Yi Jianlian, small forward: Raja Bell, shooting guard: AI, point guard: Jameel Nelson. (Niu Wen ~ Net)
New York Knicks starters: Center: Dwight Howard, power forward: LaMarcus Aldridge, small forward: Danny Granger, shooting guard: Keller Korver, point guard: Steve Blake.
Yi Jianlian actually picked up the rebound on Howard's head, and made a rebound, smashing the ball into the basket, seeing this scene, Keller was really startled by the solidity.
In his memory, although Yi Jianlian is second to none among Asian players, but with his strength in the NBA, he is simply a big grasp, there is nothing unusual at all, although because of his own appearance, history has deviated a little, Yi Jianlian's own potential in the Philadelphia 76ers has been stimulated, and his strength has been improved, but it is not so exaggerated, if it really develops according to this trend, Yi Jianlian can not only become the second Garnett, it is simply a combined monster of Garnett and Nowitzki。
"Dwight, what the hell are you doing, are you just staring at the ceiling?
Thomas was quite dissatisfied with Howard's rebounding protection this time, and shouted angrily, looking at his posture as if Howard was going to dismantle him if he didn't correct it.
Howard was also very depressed in his heart, just now he had obviously reconnoitred the surrounding environment, and did not find any threat, who knows where the Chinese rookie came from, looked at Keller, who knew that Keller also gave him a helpless look.
"Yi Jianlian is not a rookie, he won many championships when he was in China, and he competed in international competitions. Keller could only say these words in his heart, looking at Yi Jianlian who was high-five and celebrating with his teammates, Keller could clearly feel that Yi Jianlian's momentum was up
The Knicks' offense, Howard, who gave revenge, squeezed into the three-second zone of the 76ers in a few steps, leaning on Al Jefferson to reach out for the ball, although Yi Jianlian now occupies a very important position in the 76ers, but the work of defending the opponent's ace interior player naturally still has to be handed over to teammates like Al Jefferson.
Yi Jianlian's continuous strong play just now also made Al Jefferson's heart change a little, no matter what, he is also the second person in the team, or the pillar of the team's interior, naturally unwilling to let a rookie be the only beauty, this time defending Howard, he wants to prove himself in front of head coach Cheeks and AI, to prove that he is still the team's biggest reliance on the inside.
It's only when he puts up a defensive posture and prepares to meet Howard for the first time that he knows how wrong he is, Howard's strength is too strong, even if he usually boasts of his strength, but compared to Jefferson, he is still far behind, and if he wants to go around the front defense, it is even more wishful thinking, Howard opened his arms and blocked him behind him, and it was difficult to move.
Seeing this, Keller immediately passed the ball to the inside, and Howard didn't make much adjustments after receiving the ball, and directly forced a turn, knocked Jefferson into a mess, and jumped up to dunk with one hand.
But at this time, Yi Jianlian also arrived, although he had little NBA experience, but after all, he had also worked hard in the CBA for many years, and his attention had always been on Howard, seeing that Jefferson was already declining, he hurriedly rushed over and jumped up to block.
Half of his palms were already on the basketball, but after all, the difference in strength between the two was too great, and his efforts couldn't stop Howard from scoring at all, and after a loud bang, the basketball had been stuffed into the basket by the monster.
"Toot ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
The referee's whistle also sounded at this time, and his finger pointed at Yi Jianlian, and the defense fouled
AI is naturally quite dissatisfied with this penalty, and walked to the referee to reason with him, of course, he can only be regarded as putting pressure on the referee, and cannot affect the referee's decision at all, although David Stern has implemented a zero-tolerance policy at the beginning of this season, but for a big-name star like AI, the referee can't give no face at all, just simply said to AI, Yi Jianlian did foul again.
Although Yi Jianlian's block was unsuccessful, his positive defensive attitude still won a round of applause from the audience, and the AI also patted Yi Jianlian on the shoulder to show encouragement.
Seeing Yi Jianlian becoming more and more popular in the team, Al Jefferson's heart was very uncomfortable, just at this time Yi Jianlian walked towards him, and the jealous Jefferson immediately said with a stunned face: "Rookie can take care of your own affairs, and I can deal with my own affairs."
Yi Jianlian was stunned for a moment, and then he was stunned for a while. Although the relationship between him and Jefferson is usually very average in the team, and Jefferson always lets him do this and that because of his rookie status, but after all, they are teammates in the same team, and the two of them are not blushing. But why did his attitude suddenly change so quickly, after a thought about it, he understood that Jefferson was the recognized standard-bearer after the AI in the team, and he could stand up to help himself when he was weak, but once he became strong, Jefferson, who did not allow his status to be challenged, naturally became jealous.
Jefferson ran away after speaking, although his voice was not loud, but he was heard clearly by the AI, and the AI couldn't help frowning, but he still didn't say anything, the team was in good shape at this time, and he didn't want to affect the stability of the team because of some small things, so it would be worth the loss.
Nelson took the ball, the Philadelphia 76ers offense, after three seasons of tempering, Nelson has become more and more mature, and his ability to control the rhythm has been greatly strengthened, although he is not currently a first-class control position in the NBA, but at least standing by the side of AI, he can already be regarded as a qualified assistant.
After the ball passed the half, Nelson found an opportunity to pass the ball to the AI, and as soon as the basketball reached the AI's hands, Jefferson waved his arms and shouted for the ball as if he had played hormones: "Here Allen here, here"
AI secretly cursed "idiot" in his heart, Jefferson's position was already obvious, and in such a shouting, the Knicks' formation began to shift in the direction of Jefferson, and if he wanted to pass the ball again at this time, then Jefferson was not an idiot, he was an idiot.
"It's a headache to have teammates like that, isn't it?" Keller looked at the AI with a breathless expression, and he was also amused in his heart.
The AI snorted coldly and said, "Keller is still optimistic about the people around you, my brother, I'm responsible for myself"
Looking at the appearance of AI, Keller knew that AI was also a little dissatisfied with Jefferson now, and he also heard what Jefferson said to Yi Jianlian just now. It's been three years since he entered the league, and Jefferson has not made any progress at all except for some small actions and strength under the basket, and he is still running in place, and his strength has not increased, but his temper is not small, but it is no wonder that Jefferson's type of player is more suitable for positional warfare, just like in his previous life, when Jefferson was in the Timberwolves, he never got rid of the title of the replacement of the wolf king, and he was always just a replacement, until he was traded to the Jazz, and gradually showed his strength under Sloan's tutelage.
"Aaron, let's put your hope on Yi Jianlian, count on that ugly ghost, you don't want to touch the championship again in your life"
When the AI heard this, his eyes suddenly turned cold: "Keller, do you think such a strategy is very clever?"
Keller paused, and then realized that the AI thought he was sowing discord, smiled and didn't speak, and was highly concentrated and ready to meet the AI's attack
Jefferson is still shouting on the inside, but Yi Jianlian, as his inside partner, has already pulled away, creating space for AI to play singles, although he is inexperienced, but his basketball IQ is quite high, as soon as he looks at the AI's posture, he knows that AI is ready to play singles, as a little brother, he naturally has the obligation to cooperate.
AI tried a few times, Keller's reaction was quite fast, and he blocked it in time, seeing that Keller's defense was full of holes, but he was able to eat him to death with his speed and keen reflexes, and he was also very depressed, and after several unsuccessful attempts, AI could only choose a strong burst. This time Keller has no choice, the AI has done a very good job of protecting the ball, so he has no chance to break the ball, so he can only keep retreating, watching the AI squeeze past him.
opportunity
The AI rushed forward two steps, and when he saw that Keller had already arrived behind him, he didn't hesitate and stopped to shoot the basketball.
"Reflection"
Keller shouted, and jumped up regardless of his position, raising one arm in front of the AI.
At the moment when the AI shot, his vision was blocked, and he couldn't help but panic, and the rhythm of the shot was chaotic.
The basketball slammed on the hoop and flew out.
"Rebound"
There was a sudden chaos under the basket, crowding around, Yi Jianlian actually squeezed into the best position, leaned on Aldridge and jumped up and grabbed the basketball.
But at the moment when his hand was about to touch the basketball, the other hand suddenly appeared and poked the ball, so that Yi Jianlian grabbed the air, and Aldridge behind him saw that the opportunity came, jumped up, scooped the ball in his arms, and passed the ball to Granger, who was advancing quickly, who scored easily on a layup.
"What exactly are you going to be looking at?"
A shout startled the scene
