Speaking of which, the vast majority of players who qualify for the NBA can actually play well as long as they are given enough playing time and tactical position.

Being selected by the team in the draft is in itself an affirmation of his talent and potential.

Now Yi Dun is thinking about letting Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue play as much as possible on the court, Yi Jianlian is easy to say, after all, he has also played as a starter, and Sun Yue's NBA career is actually completely playing soy sauce.

stayed with the Lakers for one season, but only played ten games, and what is even more embarrassing is that Sun Yue played a total of 28 minutes in these ten games combined......

On average, a game lasts two or three minutes, which can have a tempering effect.

Now after going to the Timberwolves, Yi Dun thinks about how Sun Yue has to increase his average playing time to ten minutes per game, and if Sun Yue is competitive enough, then he can continue to raise it.

Sun Yue's physical hardware is actually quite good, in addition to the basket is not accurate, there is nothing wrong with other aspects, if he can really play in the No. 1 position, he will definitely become Yi Dun's powerful right-hand man in the future.

"Okay, when we get home, we will pack up, and let's leave Minnesota together." Yi Dun smiled at the two of them.

……

With the end of the men's basketball schedule, Eden's journey to the Olympic Games is completely over.

If you want to talk about a bumper harvest, it is undoubtedly a super bumper harvest Olympics, Yi Dun has won countless gold medals, but in Yi Dun's heart, the most precious thing is the bronze medal of the men's basketball team.

The significance of this bronze medal is too great, not only to make the Chinese men's basketball team stand among the strongest, but also to allow Yi Dun to continue to improve his attributes.

In the previous Asian Games, Yidun followed the Chinese men's basketball team to win the championship and got a chance to continue to improve his attributes, but that time Yidun used this opportunity to improve his strength and increased his strength to 99.1 points.

This time, Eden is not going to improve his strength, nor is he going to use it for stamina, but he is going to use it to improve his jumping ability.

Judging from the last few games, the outstanding jumping ability can really come in handy in the game, especially the improvement of the jumping ability can also slightly improve your speed attribute by the way.

Eden is simply too short, which means he has to bounce hard enough to make up for his height disadvantage.

After improving the bounce attribute to 99.1, Yi Dun is full of confidence in the next NBA competition.

……

On the day of the U.S. men's basketball team's match against the Spanish men's basketball team, Eden received a strange phone call, which was from O'Neal.

Yi Dun naturally knew the purpose of O'Neill's call, and he agreed to come down without saying a word, and meet O'Neill at Phoenix Stadium at four o'clock tomorrow afternoon.

Phoenix Stadium is a fairly well-known field court in London, and basketball is certainly far less influential in the UK than football, but there are still a lot of basketball fans, and this Phoenix Stadium is the mecca of these London fans, roughly similar to Madison Garden in the United States.

There is no need to go to Eden to announce it, after all the media learned the news, they all made the news that Eden was about to go head-to-head with O'Neill at Phoenix Stadium.

As for why O'Neill spread the news with such fanfare, it is not known to Yi Dun.

……

Four o'clock in the afternoon, Phoenix Stadium.

Yi Dun finally met this well-known NBA insider Shaq O'Neal in China, and if he looked at the block, he would really be several laps bigger than himself.

It's not that Yi Dun hasn't seen the Yao shark duel between O'Neill and Yao Ming before, although Yao Ming's size is taller than O'Neal's, but in terms of size, it can obviously be felt that O'Neal's size is bigger than Yao Ming.

Even Yao Ming's size is not as good as O'Neal, and now Yi Dun's size is definitely far inferior to O'Neal, but the size is not as good as the other party, but Yi Dun doesn't care, because he knows very well that he can definitely abuse O'Neill in this heads-up.

At the end of the day, O'Neill is just a player who has been retired for several years, and even if he has been working hard for the past two years, he is certainly not his opponent.

"Yi, I finally met your real person." When O'Neill saw Eden, he came up directly to give Eden a hug.

Yi Dun felt a little sick to his stomach, such a big fat man with rough skin and thick flesh hugged him, it was really not a pleasant experience.

What's more, O'Neill is not a good stubble, this is a fat man with a black belly, and he can't tell how to scold himself in his heart.

Yi Dun's face was calm, and he said to O'Neill: "My time is very tight, and there is a flight back home at seven o'clock in the evening, so let's save that nonsense and get started." ”

Yi Dun really didn't want to talk nonsense with O'Neill, this heads-up was O'Neill's initiative to ask, and now he just wanted to hurry up and torture O'Neal, and then go back to pack his luggage and board the plane back home.

"Don't say so much, Shaq, let's get started." Yi Dun urged.

O'Neal was stunned, he originally thought about how a newcomer like Yi Dun who was about to land in the NBA had to greet him, such as boasting about his historical status and flattering himself as the most dominant center in history, but Yi Dun didn't mean to flatter himself at all, and directly urged him to start heads-up.

O'Neill's face was pale, he knew very well that he would definitely be abused, if Yi Dun gave him down the stairs, for example, Yi Dun directly gave up this bounce, he would definitely raise his hands in favor.

I didn't expect Yi Dun to be so open-minded, and when he came up, he directly urged the heads-up to start quickly.

"Okay, what are the rules?" O'Neill asked, sneeringly.

Yi Dun shook his head, "There are no rules, fight until you admit defeat." ”

These words directly stimulated O'Neill to faint, you must know that there are a lot of media around the two of them now, if this word spreads, there will be no place for his O'Neal's face.

"Okay, then there are no rules, until one side admits defeat." O'Neill said with a frown.

Although there are no rules, it is certainly impossible to fight, and the two still have a tacit understanding in accordance with the international heads-up convention and played this game.

The rules of the 1v1 basketball bullfighting game should be familiar to fans who often play basketball.

For example, the attacker only has one chance to attack, and if there is a missed shot, foul or error, the ball must be transferred to the opponent.

Although the two did not agree on specific rules, they both tacitly understood it.

Bullfights require referees, and a sports journalist volunteered to referee the match.

The referee tossed a coin to decide possession of the ball, and O'Neal got the ball in the first offensive round.

Eden easily waited for O'Neal's offense inside the three-point line, and defending O'Neal couldn't be easier for Eden.

Because of the bullfight, O'Neal couldn't pass the ball to his outside teammates, so he could only control the ball himself and start playing alone from outside the three-point line.

O'Neal actually has some ball control ability, but this is only limited to his active role, and now that he has been retired for so long, even if he has a little ball control, it is quite limited.

O'Neal's main scoring method at his peak is to attack under the basket, Yi Dun doesn't think that O'Neal will suddenly develop any three-point means after retirement, the only thing he needs to do now is to wait for O'Neal to play the basket.

As Eden expected, O'Neal began to act, and directly outside the three-point line, he began to move his huge ass and began to hit Eden with his back.

High back hit!

Yi Dun was happy, he had been on the basketball court for so long, and if he wanted to say which offensive method he was best at defending, it was undoubtedly high back play.

Relying on his strong strength attributes, no player can play comfortably in a high position in front of him, let alone O'Neal, a player who has been retired for a long time.

Yi Dun went straight up, and the scene still looked a little funny, after all, Yi Dun was too much smaller than O'Neill.

O'Neill is big enough in the active service, and now his weight has soared again after retiring, so he looks bigger, and Yi Dun, who is only 190 tall, is naturally big compared to ordinary people, but behind O'Neal is indeed like a dwarf.

Unfortunately, O'Neill, the giant, used all his strength to resist the dwarf.

Until his face turned red, O'Neill estimated that he had used all the strength to breastfeed, but Yi Dun still didn't move.

At the moment, O'Neill had imagined this kind of scene, but he didn't expect it to be so serious, and his own strength would not be able to make Yi Dun move a centimeter distance.

If you can push Yi Dun, even if the distance is small, because there are no rules for their bullfighting, O'Neal can go to the basket little by little, as long as he gets to the basket, then he has a chance to score.

But now there is no chance to get to the basket, unless O'Neal is now skyrocketing and has the skill of Iverson at a height of seven feet, so that he can make it to the basket.

There are at least hundreds of people on the sidelines, most of them media, who have long received rumors that they are here to take the best position.

Now these media are very clear about the outcome of this heads-up game, and after only ten seconds of play, they know that O'Neill is finished, and if he is unlucky, he may not get a single point in this game, and he will definitely be abused by Yi Dun.

O'Neill pushed it for ten seconds, Yi Dun didn't move, and now Yi Dun was a little impatient, continue to top like this, when will it be a head.

Easyen also began to push back, pushing his chest against O'Neill's back.

There was a strange scene on the field, O'Neill's huge body was retreated again and again by the short Yi Dunding, and this saw that it was almost up to the midfield line.

O'Neill is about to cry, how can this game be played?!

Seeing that he was getting farther and farther away from the basket, O'Neal knew that he couldn't sit still anymore, and he had to give it a go.

Thankfully, O'Neal has trained a lot of three-pointers in the past two years, and it can come in handy right now.

When Eden was exerting his strength, O'Neal dodged Eden, and then rushed forward and threw the basketball in his hand on tiptoe.

The audience couldn't help but be speechless, is this player on the field really O'Neal? In the case of heads-up with others, he was forced to shoot only three points?

Yi Dun was also stunned, he didn't expect O'Neal to come to such a move, who knew that O'Neal didn't have a basket and no three points.

Some fans may take O'Neal's shooting highlights as an example to prove that O'Neal has a basket, but the highlights are really empty.

In the highlights, a pure blue-collar player like Big Ben can also become a super scorer and stage various breakthroughs......

Players like Rodman are even more incarnated as super pitchers, one shot at a time.

Even Yi Jianlian, who is not very happy in the NBA, when you go to watch his NBA game highlights, it is also quite a superstar.

At present, O'Neal's shooting point is still one step away from the three-point line, and if this kind of three-point point can be scored, Yi Dun feels that O'Neal may be able to return to the NBA for two years......

Everyone stared at O'Neal's shot, and then couldn't help laughing, the ball didn't touch anything at all, let alone the basket, not even the rebound, an air balloon.

Because it was a heads-up reason, the shot was not hit and the ball was automatically converted, so Yi Dun didn't need to run to grab the rebound.

……

When it was Yi Dun's turn to attack, O'Neill was waiting for him, he knew very well that he would definitely be abused by Yi Dun on the offensive end, but if he could prevent Yi Dun's attack, then he would not be too ashamed today.

As a result, this idea was quickly dissipated by Yi Dun's brute force, and Yi Dun also used a high back play and directly began to beat O'Neal outside the three-point line.

O'Neal was pushed back again and again, and was soon pushed to the basket.

After arriving at the basket, Yi Dun exerted his strength again, and after pushing O'Neal away, he flew directly and dunked, O'Neal wanted to get up and block, but his body that had been indulged for so long did not allow him to make a blocking action in a short time.

By the time O'Neill stood on tiptoe, Eden had already completed the dunk.

With an easy score, Eden turned his head and asked O'Neill with a smile, "Is that a point or two?" ”

O'Neill replied angrily: "Two points!" ”

Turning his head, it was O'Neal's offensive round, which was roughly the same as his first offensive round, and he wanted to hit his back high, but was repeatedly pushed back by Yi Dunding.

The only difference is that this time Eden didn't even give O'Neal a chance to shoot, and the moment O'Neal made a three-point shot outside the three-point line, Eden jumped high and directly fanned O'Neal's shot out of bounds.

It was O'Neal's mistake and the ball needed to be transferred to Eden's hands.

The onlookers on the sidelines applauded loudly, although O'Neill had retired, and even if Yi Dun could win, it would be considered a victory, but seeing this kind of volleyball hat with their own eyes still made their blood boil.

In the next game time, it was a replica of the offensive and defensive round that had just ended, Yi Dun hit O'Neal with his back at the high post, and then hit the basket with a forced dunk, O'Neal hit Yi Dun with his back at the high level, and was capped by Yi Dun volleyball......

Playing O'Neill was directly beaten and desperate, he now has only one obsession in his heart, he must score a goal, no matter what.

Now it's definitely a loss, and it's a bad loss, and even so, O'Neill wants to take a fig leaf for himself and hit a goal.

But it is obviously impossible for Eyton to give O'Neill such a chance, and it can be said that O'Neill is completely killed.

……

Yi Dun is too lazy to remember how many points and blocks he has scored, he only knows that O'Neal doesn't want to score even a point in front of him before he concedes defeat.

Of course, O'Neill will definitely not get any points after conceding defeat.

The media of the scene remembered it very clearly, and every time Yi Dun scored or successfully blocked, these people would shout.

"28 points and 12 blocks!"

"30 points and 13 blocks!"

"38 points and 17 blocks!"

"40 points and 19 blocks!"

"Smack!" On the field, Eden completed the block on O'Neill again, and this time O'Neill completely didn't want to continue.

40 points and 20 blocks, Eden scored 40 points and 20 blocks on his head, and what about himself? Now the score is still zero, and if you really want to talk about the data, there are only 20 turnovers.

Now O'Neill regrets more and more why he said that kind of thing in the first place, if he didn't say it, he would definitely stay at home comfortably now, and he would not be able to be humiliated like this.

"I throw in the towel." O'Neal said helplessly, if he didn't admit defeat, he felt that Yi Dun would definitely be able to beat himself with a 100 points and 50 blocks today.

What's even more terrifying is that his physical strength can't keep up with it now, and Yi Dun is still alive and well, and the more he fights, the more he suffers, and the more he can't beat Yi Dun.

Hearing that O'Neill admitted defeat, Yi Dun showed a smile on his face, "It's good to admit defeat, if you still want to find someone to fight alone next time, welcome to contact me." ”

"By the way, I'm going to the Minnesota Timberwolves soon, and we might have a lot of opportunities to meet in the future."

When O'Neill heard that he would have to see Eden more often in the future, O'Neal had a strange expression, and if possible, he would never want to see Eden again in his life.

However, O'Neal was extremely curious about how Eden would choose a garbage team like the Timberwolves.

In his opinion, Yi Dun obviously has a better choice, such as the Los Angeles Lakers, Kobe Bryant is now in the late stage of his career, and Yi Dun joins the Lakers, it is the best choice.

However, O'Neal is not in the mood to ask this kind of question now, he only knows that his life will not be easy in the future, especially Barkley, a fat man, will definitely tease himself with today's single-header every time he commentates on the Timberwolves' game.

……

The media saw that Eden and O'Neill had both left, and they were also satisfied.

Today's game is quite satisfying for them, and it will definitely attract the interest of countless fans this NBA offseason.

……

That night, Yi Dun followed some Chinese Olympic athletes to board the plane back to China.

agreed with Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue to leave for Minnesota at the end of September, and Yi Dun had to start preparations in the next period.

Because the child is too young, Yi Dun definitely can't take the mother and daughter to a ghost place like Minnesota, so he simply let the mother and daughter stay in the country and wait for him to settle down there before picking up the mother and daughter.

Originally, Yi Dun wanted to give himself a period of vacation, but there was an endless stream of people who came to the door to interview, and even some interview programs, such as Lu Yu You's appointment, were all invited to Yi Dun to participate.

Yi Dun naturally refused, he was not interested in this opportunity to appear on TV at all, and he might as well spend more time with his daughter-in-law and children.

Li Zhigang was busy during this time, and received countless requests every day, wanting him to write an interview with Yi Dun, exerting the spirit of making things up, Li Zhigang didn't even need to contact Yi Dun, he could write an interview by himself, anyway, he knew that Yi Dun didn't care about these things, as long as he didn't write too much, there would definitely be no problem.

In this way, it is getting closer and closer to the end of September, and the appointment time between Yi Dun and Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue has come.

At Beijing International Airport, the three of them met, looking at the expressions of Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue, the two must be in a very uneasy mood now.

These two are different from Yi Dun, both of them have worked hard in the NBA, even if Sun Yue's hard work time is very short, only 28 minutes......

This time the two of them returned to the NBA, it was an extremely rare opportunity for them, and if it weren't for Yi Dun, they didn't know if they would have a chance to return to the NBA in this life.

So they are now excited in their hearts, but they are also a little hesitant and worried, afraid that if they still fail to play a decent performance this time, then they may never have the opportunity to play in the NBA in the future.

Eden certainly doesn't have these worries, he just knows that he went to the NBA to conquer the NBA this time.

Interestingly, the NBA championship is not actually called a league champion, but a world champion, regardless of whether it is arrogant or not, anyway, that's what they do call the NBA champion.

And now Eden is going to the NBA just to win this world championship, and he has to win it more than once.

"Brothers, are you ready? Our new journey is about to begin! Yi Dun said to the two with a smile.

The two nodded solemnly, they are ready to go, and they must desperately play well to play well when they return to the NBA, only in this way can they live up to the precious opportunity that EDUN has given them.

"Alright, then let's go!" Yi Dun waved his hand and took Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian to start boarding.

After a long flight, Yi Dun had already fallen asleep, while Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue were obviously not sleepy, and they didn't know what they were thinking when they opened their eyes wide.

After the plane arrived in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA, Yi Dun was shouted by Sun Yue.

"Brother Dun, we're here." Sun Yue couldn't hide his excitement on his face, but he still tried to keep his voice low.

After the three got off the plane, the Timberwolves crew was already waiting for the three at the exit gate.

"Hello three gentlemen, just call me Barnes, and then I'll take you to the accommodation first, by the way, Mr. Eden, Coach Adelman is already waiting for you in the team, and he wants to have a good chat with you alone." The staff member said very politely to the three of Yi Dun.

Yi Dun nodded, "Okay, then let's go to the accommodation first, and after settling in, I'll go see Coach Adelman." ”

Glenn Taylor's hand is still very large, and he directly got a single-family villa with a garden for the three of them, as for whether it was rented or Taylor's own property, it is unknown, anyway, the three of them are quite satisfied with this accommodation condition.

Once everything was settled, Eden followed Barnes to the arena to meet with Coach Adelman.
