Chapter 154: The Christmas War
Wang Xiao's requirements are not too much, as a professional player, Yi Jianlian has three-point ability,
In the 08-09 season, Yi Jianlian's first season with the Nets, he shot 140 three-pointers throughout the season and hit 48, with a three-point shooting rate of 34%.
This shooting percentage is not high, but as an interior player, it can barely be seen.
The Wizards' current power forward, Jamison, is only shooting in the early 30% of his career three-point range, but Jamison averages more than 200-300 shots per season.
Like last season, with the support of Wang's training system and tactics, Jamison made 436 three-pointers throughout the season, hitting 163 of them, a shooting rate of 37%, more than half of which were shot through the pick-and-roll pass and cut open shots.
Now that Jamison is 36 years old and has little career left, it would be great to find an inside line with a similar style.
Yi Jianlian's style is very similar to Jamison, and if it is cultivated, it is not impossible to replace Jamison's role in the Wizards.
Of course, compared with Jamison, Yi Jianlian is much worse.
First of all, Jamison's mobility, which is not inferior to that of a small forward, is not comparable to Yi Jianlian.
Yi Jianlian, who is 2.13 meters tall and weighs 108 kilograms, is not slow among interior players, but it is not enough to look at it in the forward position.
And although Jamison is only 2.06 meters tall, he is a pretty good rebounder, and he also has an average of 20+10 double-doubles per game at his peak, Yi Jianlian is much worse, although he is taller than Jamison, but Yi Jianlian has not done a particularly good job in the NBA in terms of protecting rebounds, otherwise Humphries would not have taken the starting position.
Of course, if Wang Xiao accepts Yi Jianlian, it will definitely not be for him to be the main force on the court as soon as he comes, Yi Jianlian can start from the bench and grow up slowly under the training of the training system.
That's why Wang Xiao will assign these two goals to Yi Jianlian.
Unguarded, the three-point shooting rate reaches 80%, which is not difficult for professional players, the game and daily training are completely different concepts, like Curry and others in the daily shooting training, the three-point shooting rate can reach more than 95%.
As a player who has developed a three-point shot, it is not difficult to achieve an 80% three-point shooting rate with hard work.
In contrast, the second point is a bit difficult, because Wang Xiao did not give Yi Jianlian a clear goal.
To what extent is it enough to lose weight and improve mobility?
In fact, this is also a hidden test that Wang Xiao gave Yi Jianlian.
As a professional footballer, the ability to read the game and think is just as important.
What kind of tactics does the Wizards play, and if he joins the Wizards, what kind of position will he have on the court, and what responsibilities should he assume?
If Yi Jianlian can give Wang Xiao an answer that satisfies him after half a year, Wang Xiao will definitely give Yi Jianlian a chance.
But if you can't do it...... Then I'm sorry.
As a Chinese, Wang Xiao is naturally inclined to help his compatriots, but there is a premise for this, that is, these people must work hard enough.
Like Jeremy Lin, it is undeniable that when he used the growth template card at that time, Jeremy Lin's future achievements and his Chinese-American identity were the main reasons, but on the other hand, in his daily training, Jeremy Lin's hard and serious attitude was recognized by Wang Xiao.
He will use the system to help his fellow citizens, but only if the person he is helping has qualities that are worth helping.
What Wang Xiao wants Yi Jianlian to do is to prove to Wang Xiao that he has the value of investment through half a year, if Yi Jianlian proves it, then Wang Xiao will definitely not be stingy with the victory value, and will use the specifications of cultivating Curry, Harden, George and others to cultivate Yi Jianlian.
"That's right!"
After talking about things, when the meal was served, Wang Xiao suddenly remembered something, and said to Jeremy Lin and Yi Jianlian: "Don't tell anyone else about this matter, as the head coach of the Wizards, I am the management of the team, and according to the rules of the league, it is forbidden to contact and solicit other players with contracts during the regular season, and once discovered, they will be punished." ”
I have to say that the alliance's control in this regard is still relatively strict, and once discovered, Wang Xiao will face a huge fine.
……
The matter with Yi Jianlian is just an episode for Wang Xiao, no matter whether Yi Jianlian can achieve his goal in the end, it will not affect Wang Xiao's own team formation plan.
After the end of the two easier home games, the next four games are two away and two home.
The two away opponents are the San Antonio Spurs and Charlotte Bobcats, while the two home opponents are the Bucks and 76ers.
In these four games, the Wizards have a 3-1 record, only losing to the Spurs on the road.
And after these four games, it will be followed by the Christmas war.
On Dec. 25, the Wizards will fly to Boston for a Christmas game at the North Shore Garden Arena, home of the Celtics.
In fact, although it was a Christmas game, the game between the Wizards and the Celtics did not receive particularly much attention in several Christmas games on the 25th.
The reason is simple, the vast majority of neutral fans are most concerned about the Christmas matchup between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Miami Heat.
On the one hand, the Lakers, who have won two consecutive championships and are attacking for three consecutive championships, and on the other hand, the Heat, who form the strongest triumvirate in history and are about to win the championship trophy, which of these two teams is stronger or weaker, who is stronger between Kobe Bryant, the first person in the league, and James, who is trying to replace his position?
This kind of topicality is far from being comparable to the Wizards and the Celtics, and the game between the Lakers and the Heat will also be broadcast live across the United States on the 25th.
But...... Although the topic is far less than that, the intensity of the game between the Wizards and the Celtics is no less than that of the Lakers vs Heat.
These two teams, after all, faced off in the Eastern Conference Finals last year, and this season, there is a high probability that they will meet in the playoffs.
Whether it's Wang Xiao's Wizards or the Celtics, no one wants to lose this game easily.
However, compared with the Celtics, Wang Xiao is more eager to win!
Because he's pressed the heavy bet in this game!
Since the system version 3.0 has been upgraded, the guessing module of the lotto system has been optimized and updated, adding random item rewards.
In the previous more than 20 games, there were no particularly high-value props, but like some one-time training bonus cards that can further improve the training effect of players, because the betting requirements are not high, so Wang Xiao has also pressed a few times, there are losses and wins, and in general, he still earns more.
I don't know if it's because of the Christmas War, before the start of the game with the Celtics, Wang Xiao's guessing prop reward was updated, and he actually swiped out a very rare prop - S-level physical recovery potion!
