Chapter 456: Just the Timberwolves
In addition, Yi Jianlian feels that Yi Dun is a good choice to join the Timberwolves, and the main reason is actually Lefou.
Love is a rare good guy in the league, he has never been on the court for so many years, and he has never heard of any conflicts with his teammates, you must know that there is a bastard like Beasley in his team, and he can get along with each other friendly.
It may be precisely because of this gentle personality that his popularity is not high, and fans definitely still prefer players with distinct personalities, especially fans who like the inside line, many of them may prefer the hardcore inside line.
In Yi Jianlian's view, Lefu is actually not a good candidate to be the boss of the team, but if he is the second leader, he is one of the absolute best candidates.
After sending Lefu away, Yi Jianlian told Yi Dun about the situation of the Timberwolves and Lefu's character, and his tone was full of admiration.
Yi Dun nodded, "It's really good, what he said is right, if you join these garbage teams and then lead the team to win the championship, you can have a sense of achievement." ”
"Joining a team like the Thunder that can enter the finals by itself, even if you win the championship, there is no sense of accomplishment, not to mention that the Thunder may not have a place for you and Sun Yue."
Yi Jianlian was directly dumbfounded, giving himself and Sun Yue's position? How do you say that?
He just wanted to ask carefully, but the knock on the door sounded again, Yi Jianlian smiled bitterly, it seems that there is nothing else to do this morning, and it is estimated that the twelve players of the dream team will definitely visit one by one.
Having been in the NBA for several years, Yi Jianlian should be regarded as the player who knows the NBA best in China except for Yao Ming, and he knows too well the significance of a championship trophy to the team and players.
When the team wins the championship and earns a lot of dollars, it can also make fans have a stronger sense of belonging and honor, and they are more willing to spend money on the team.
And the player has an extra championship trophy, which is also extraordinary, and the player with the championship ring and the player without the ring are certainly not the same thing in the historical rankings.
Take Barkley, who is known as the template of Easyen, he doesn't need much, even if he led the team to a championship ring at his peak, then his all-time ranking can definitely improve by five places!
Now, according to the ranking of old American all-time players, Barkley is generally around 20, and if he has a peak ring, then he can definitely enter the top 15.
Even if he had three championship rings, it would not be difficult for Barkley to finish in the top 10.
Of course, the ring mentioned here must refer to the championship ring that he led the team to win at his peak, and the ring he got with his thigh at the end of his career must not have much gold.
This shows how important a championship ring is to a player, and those who aspire to become the top players of all time will be desperate for Eden to join.
Yi Jianlian went to release the door, and the person standing at the door was none other than Kobe Bryant, who had an incomparably huge number of domestic fans.
Yi Dun is naturally no stranger to Kobe, he didn't expect Kobe to appear in front of him.
You must know that the Lakers today do not seem to lack an interior line, and the interior line composed of the little shark Bynum and Gasol can almost be said to be the best interior combination in the league.
However, this interior combination is not without flaws, that is, Bynum's IQ does not seem to be very online, and he will do some unbelievable things on the court from time to time.
After some conversation, Yi Dun understood that the Lakers had already sold Bynum, no wonder Kobe Bryant would come to recruit him.
Of course, the Lakers sold Bynum, who averaged nearly 19 points and 12 rebounds per game last season, and it was certainly not because of Eden.
Kobe Bryant only sat for a while, didn't talk too much, and didn't promise Yi Dun the position of boss like other teams, which was not unexpected by Yi Jianlian.
The boss of any team in the league may give such a promise, even if it is James who is now in the Heat, he can probably give such a promise, after all, when he first joined the Heat, he said more than once that the Heat was Wade's team.
But Kobe Bryant alone couldn't have said such a thing.
After Kobe Bryant left, Yi Jianlian didn't say much, because he knew very well that Yi Dun had no idea of playing with the Lakers.
As Yi Jianlian expected, several Dream Team players came next, such as Deron Williams, who had just transferred from the Jazz to the Nets, and also appeared in Eden's room.
Some of these teams actually have no shortage of interior players at all, such as Chris Paul of the Clippers, who have an interior combination of Griffin and Jordan Jr., and there is no shortage of interior players at all, but Paul still came.
It wasn't until noon that no other players arrived.
"Pretty much all of them came, except for the Heat players and Iguodala, who was about to move, everyone else came." Yi Jianlian said with a smile.
There were a total of twelve players on the Dream Team, and ten of them came, all of whom extended an olive branch to Eden.
"What do you think, Eden, which teams are you interested in?" Yi Jianlian asked curiously.
"Timberwolves, this team is still quite suitable for me, and I will get you and Sun Yue over when the time comes." Yi Dun said with a smile.
These words directly made Yi Jianlian stunned, Yi Dun actually wanted to bring himself and Sun Yue back to the NBA?
"Don't be surprised, I do, and I'm pretty sure I can do it."
"Now the situation of our Chinese men's basketball team, you also know, there are not many people who can play, you and Sun Yue are not very old now, and the effect of training in the NBA is better than playing CBA."
"Everyone is really strong, and my goal is to kill the American Dream Team one day, and I definitely can't do it on my own." Yi Dun said solemnly.
Yi Jianlian was stunned, he didn't expect Yi Dun to have such ambitions, he would actually kill the dream team!
If the U.S. men's basketball team doesn't send the strongest lineup, it's actually not so terrible, and with the current strength of the Chinese men's basketball team, there is a chance to compete with it.
But if you send a lineup like this year's Dream Ten Team and want to kill the Dream Team, it will undoubtedly be difficult to reach the sky.
Now that Yi Dun actually had the idea of killing the dream team, Yi Jianlian was naturally shocked.
However, he also knew that with Yi Dun's ability, if he could have two or three helpers above the NBA level and play well, it would really be possible to kill the Dream Ten team.
However, the premise is that the Chinese men's basketball team can really provide such a helper to Yi Dun.
"Okay, if I can go back, I won't refuse."
"I don't think Sun Yue will refuse!" Yi Jianlian nodded and said.
If he can go back to play in the NBA, Yi Jianlian will definitely not refuse, whether it is public or private, this is a good thing.
Playing in the NBA is certainly not the same thing as the CBA, which has the best players in the world, and you can always learn something from these players.
For Yu Gong, his strength has improved, and the overall strength of the Chinese men's basketball team has improved.
Privately, playing in the NBA is much higher than the CBA in terms of income and attention.
Yi Jianlian can be sure that if Sun Yue knew the news, he would definitely not refuse.
"Okay, then the Timberwolves, but I have to talk to the Dongshan men's basketball team, after all, there is still a contract." Yi Dun said with a frown.
The contract matter is actually quite tricky, and now Yi Dun can't guarantee that the Dongshan men's basketball team can really let itself go.
……
With the arrival of the Sino-US war, many Chinese fans are excited and sleepless, looking forward to the arrival of this game.
China and the United States have also played each other on the basketball court before, but at that time, not many fans had too much expectation for the Chinese men's basketball team to win the United States.
But now it's different, although the possibility is still very small, but at least there is hope.
In case of a real upset to win the Dream Team, it will definitely be an unforgettable event for Chinese fans in their lives.
The domestic media has already been overwhelmingly promoting this game, because of Yi Dun, even people who were not very interested in basketball have become interested in watching this game.
……
"Dear viewers and friends, there is only half an hour left before the quarterfinals of the Chinese men's basketball team."
"Coach Zhang, take advantage of the pre-game time, why don't you help us analyze the situation." In the CCTV commentary room, the warm-up for the game began half an hour in advance.
Zhang Weiping took a deep breath and could see that he was also quite excited.
"It's a pity that we didn't meet in the semifinals with the U.S. men's basketball team this time, so we will meet in the semifinals, if we are in the same group as the United States, then our opponents in the semifinals may be Spain or Argentina, and the chances of winning will definitely be more."
"In that case, don't really say it, we really have a chance to get a silver medal." Zhang Weiping said with longing.
The host smiled: "It's actually not bad now, we have already won the top four rankings, which is far beyond history." ”
"That's right, it's true, judging from the current situation, it is still very promising for our Chinese men's basketball team to win a medal."
"Okay, let's wait and see, looking forward to the performance of Yi Dun and the Chinese men's basketball players in this game!"
……
In the locker room, the Chinese men's basketball team sat on the bench with a solemn expression at the moment, listening to Dazhi's speech.
"Brothers, I'm not going to say those big words, like why I must kill the American team tonight."
"We just have to give it our all and make sure we don't have any regrets after this game."
"Full support on the pitch for Eden, tonight is the key to our victory!"
"Defend well, shoot well, run aggressively and look for open shots."
"I hope this fight will be the most classic of our career!" Dazhi said excitedly to the generals.
As a veteran who has been in the arena for countless years, it is really not easy to make Dazhi so excited.
……
Yi Dun was in a calm mood, quietly waiting for the start of the game.
It didn't take long for Dazhi to appear when it was time to appear, Dazhi and the generals began to appear, and Yi Dun walked with Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue.
"Yi Dun, I heard the UAE say yesterday......" Sun Yue asked in a low voice on the side.
Yi Dun nodded, "That's right, get ready, I heard that Nisouda is quite cold, bring more thick clothes." ”
Sun Yue was overjoyed, Yi Jianlian didn't lie to himself, Yi Dun really wanted to take him to the NBA.
He never doubted that Yi Dun had such ability, and he was not a particularly high-priced player, any team needs bench players, who is not signed?
A team's roster is generally 15 places, and only half of the players can actually get more playing time, that is, seven or eight.
What about the remaining slots? Naturally, they are the so-called guardians of the water cooler, and their presence actually has little impact on the overall strength of the team.
Sun Yue knows very well that as long as Yi Dun adds himself to the signing conditions, the Timberwolves will definitely not refuse.
And if he goes to the NBA this time, because of Yi Dun's care, Sun Yue feels that he may be able to get more playing time, which is definitely not the same thing as playing soy sauce with the Lakers before.
If he could really seize the opportunity to play, Sun Yue would tremble with excitement when he thought about it.
"Okay, Yi Dun, don't worry, I will never let you down." Sun Yue said happily.
Yi Dun waved his hand, "Don't think so far, let's play tonight's game first, the opportunity is all earned by yourself." ”
These words made Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue full of energy, and the opportunity to return to the NBA was precious to them, and they were absolutely unwilling to miss such an opportunity.
Especially tonight, when they were playing against NBA stars, the two desperately needed to prove themselves on the court.
……
After arriving at the court, Yi Dun looked intently at the U.S. men's basketball team.
The American players all look relaxed now, and certainly not as nervous as the Chinese players.
It's normal to think about it, although the Chinese men's basketball team is in the limelight now, but presumably these American superstars don't think that the Chinese men's basketball team will threaten them.
Several American players were talking and laughing, and when they saw Eden, they waved at Eden.
Eden nodded at them, too, and now he could recognize all the American men's basketball players, except for one James and one Iguodala.
