The Thunder face off against the Lakers tonight, and they are basically hopeless this season, because of Durant's injury reimbursement, the Thunder's record has plummeted. Coupled with the fact that Wei Shao is not here tonight, it is difficult to beat the Los Angeles Lakers, who are very strong this season, with this little person. Even if the opponent has not been in good form recently, it is not something they can beat easily.

This game, because of the Thunder's poor record, has temporarily canceled the national live broadcast and changed it to another playoff team match. So on the U.S. side, the attention isn't too good. But in China, it is completely different, and the addition of Yi Jianlian has made this team suddenly get more exaggerated attention in China.

Almost early in the morning, in front of the TV, in front of the computer, and in front of the mobile phone, there were all gathered Chinese people, because they all wanted to know whether Yi Jianlian's joining the Lakers was just a gimmick, whether he was still just playing soy sauce, or ...... It's okay to stay and finish the season seriously.

After so many years, domestic fans have slowly become more rational and sober from the Yao Ming era, at least they know that NBA stars are not something that can be done casually. In fact, in that highly mobile 400-player alliance, if you can play a fixed rotation, it is possible that a country is super strong. Yi Jianlian is like this, everyone hacked him back then, one is that the media touted it too much, and the other is to look at Yi Jianlian with the eyes of Yao Ming, which doesn't feel "unlikely" It's strange.

But after the easy linkage, so many so-called "rising stars", how many of them can go to the NBA? How many can really play in the NBA? Still averaging 12+7 per game? It's a thank god to be able to do a 5+3.

In this way, now looking at Yi Jianlian, the country will be a lot more sober, and you can also face up to his strength and status.

Especially in these international competitions, when only he can rely on and only he can harden the opponent's stars, many people have gradually begun to like this oriental inner line. is also a lot more tolerant of him.

The voice of cheering him on also began to overpower the voice that blackened him.

However, he still has a bad reputation in the United States, and everyone thinks that he is a "soft egg insider" who can't get along.

This situation is not fake, the original time and space easy to link to the Lakers for a tryout, the treatment he gets, that's it.

The official Twitter account was accompanied by a picture of Yi Lianlian's shooting, and then, the following 8 percent were hacked and mocked at him.

Yi Jianlian's psychological quality is not so strong, he is easily influenced, which is why he is a little afraid to come to the United States.

So Tang Qian patted the former on the shoulder when he entered, signaling him not to be nervous and not to mess up his rhythm.

Because it is the home field, the Staples Center usually introduces the home team players in more detail, and when the word "clothes" is introduced, there are even people in the audience who boo! It can be seen that Yi Jianlian has a really bad reputation in the United States, and the set of "selling at a price", "resisting Milwaukee" and "sitting on the ground to raise prices" that his agent helped him do back then actually made him suddenly become a stupid man who has no strength and arrogance in the hearts of American fans.

And what about his agent when he was done? There is no, and I will continue to bring other stars without any damage.

On the contrary, it is equivalent to pitting Emperor Yi.

If this had been changed back then, Yi Jianlian would have been unstable in his heart a long time ago, but this time, he took a deep breath and walked over silently. He's not good at words, he's not so strong-minded, he's a little bit prone to self-doubt, but ...... This does not prevent him from having a characteristic in him now, that is, the persistence of leading the national team to fail again and again and struggle in the dark for so many years.

Yes, it is to insist, silently insist, grit your teeth and insist, and this point, the previous easy connection, is not at all.

He is also growing, so this ability he has cultivated is the source of his ability to withstand so many negative forces now.

Of course, the main thing is that the Lakers treat him well internally, otherwise he will not be able to stand the internal and external attacks.

Seeing that Yi Jianlian was still tense, this made Tang Qian a little relieved, after all, he still hadn't played in the NBA for so many years, and the atmosphere on the court and the pressure from the fans were much greater than in China. If you can't accept this, it can only mean that you have lost your eyes and made a mistake, and he is no longer suitable for this place.

There is no point in fighting.

When you arrive at Tang Qian, it is normal, the introduction is much more detailed, for example, you introduce the rest of the players only by name, and the introduction of Tang Qian becomes height, name, country, etc., a series of words. He was also the last player to sit on the bench and get up, and this is the exclusive honor of the team boss.

However, there are exceptions, when the Heat team did face engineering, they all did it when introducing the Big Three, but if you are sharp-eyed, you will find that there is still a difference between the front and back.

A team will always have a real boss.

It can never be two.

There is always one that wants to occupy a more dominant position.

Yi Jianlian looked at all this, of course, he was a little envious in his heart, but he still has more important things to do now, that is, tonight, he must play well, and it is best to make a good start. Otherwise, those overwhelming sour words will definitely make people collapse.

The United States, for such people who have no strength, has a very low tolerance.

Far from being as patient and tolerant as it is for a star.

But there's nothing to be jealous of, it's unfair, because these "special" and "privileges" are also built up step by step with their own hands, and at the beginning, who wasn't a rookie? If you're jealous, you're a fool. Think more about how to work hard to improve, and strive to become better is the core competitiveness.

Few people would think that the Thunder could win this game, and the Lakers also pressed the Thunder all the way, but the Thunder did not mean to be passive and slack. They spent most of the first quarter defending conservatively against the enemy, defending with all their might, and waited for the Lakers' No. 29 to go down before they began to turn defense into offense, and a lot of inside baskets were rushed. It just so happened that at this time, the Lakers' outside feel was very average, so the score difference was narrowed to 2 points at one point.

This section of Yi Lian also came off the bench and played very poorly, he obviously didn't adapt to the confrontation and rhythm here, and at the same time, he was also a little, thinking too much. Playing and playing, hesitant and not decisive at all. And on the basketball court, you hesitate, and the big result is ......

"The shirt made a mistake, this is his third mistake in this game, this is too bad!"

The home commentators are also outspoken, because they have no "tolerance" for this Chinese player.

After this mistake, Yi Jianlian was replaced, he played really badly, and he couldn't go out without replacing him.

Celestial Empire Sports Station.

"Yi Jianlian hits, well, it's still a little tight, this ball still needs to get used to."

"Yes, yes, Director Zhang is right, right."

In the domestic online live broadcast room, the situation is much more straightforward, and many barrages directly began to scroll:

It's a bit too bad! It's not the same level as Emperor Tangji!!

This is the top strength in China? What a disappointment!!

Lianmei~ Can you be hard? Do you have a hand???

Let's go back to the CBA, don't go to the other side of the ocean to be embarrassed! In the future, we can only look forward to Rocket Week!

The vast majority of fans are impetuous, so it's normal to complain if it's not going well at all, even if it's Kobe James, that's the same. When you don't play well, you will be sprayed like a dog by barrage and comments.

Yi Jianlian was in a bad mood, but he also knew that it was his own reason, so he could only blame himself.

But Tang Qian sat down beside him and said: "Hold on, this is the reason why you haven't played in the NBA for a long time, your body and feeling haven't gotten used to it yet, just wait until you get used to it." Yi Jianlian nodded, his mood was also a little calmed down a little when he said this.

Alas, he lacks self-confidence, did the NBA hit him too hard? I didn't play well on the international stage.

Do you have to know, against the Dream Team, this guy can score 25 points per person, even if Dream Twelve doesn't play seriously, it's Dream Twelve, besides him, who else can do it in China? This made former NBA head coach Collins, a TV commentator who broadcast the game in the United States, say in the commentary that he believes that Yi Jianlian is fully capable of playing well in the NBA.

People don't have much to do with Yi Jianlian, and there is no need to tout the latter, but this is true, and the former said it like this. As the only player in the national team to score in double figures in that game, it was still 25 points, and he deserves this praise.

That's a few years older, and now he should be better.

It's a pity that Tang Qian didn't have the opportunity to see this paragraph in his last life, otherwise he would have more respect for Emperor Yi.

Tang Qian changed the situation as soon as he came on the court, he played very smoothly, the interior line of the Thunder team, regardless of offense and defense, could not restrain him, even if Ibaka covered him 2, that was harmless. Anyway, now Tang Qian is mainly facing the basket + hard attack under the basket + secondary attack, this style of play is a little more capped, which is not unusual.

Moses. Malone famously said that no matter how many times you are pressed in a round, and finally put the ball in the basket, it is considered a win.

How did he "rub" the league's No. 1 center "Sky Hook" Abdul-Jabbar back then? That's what it depends on.

So take a hat, don't be afraid at all, afraid of being covered, what else do you play?

But tonight, on the Lakers' side, the overall feeling fluctuated a lot, and the outside basket did not reach the usual level, so it also gave the Thunder some hope of a comeback. Covington didn't play very well today either, with Swiss inside line Enes. N'Golo Kante hit him a little dazed. Speaking of which, Covington is also relatively miserable, and the Thunder team made an interior misalignment offensive and defensive arrangement tonight. The taller N'Golo Kante played in the No.4 position, while Serge Ibaka played in the No.5 position, which was originally just a defensive set-up, but the effect was unexpected.

Defensively, Serge Ibaka is obviously better than N'Golo Kante, and it is understandable that he came to play against Tang Qian, although tonight, he did not complete the task. But Kante is no longer the Kante of the year, when he first entered the NBA, he was not confrontational enough and too young, so he basically played on offense and relied on fate on defense. But don't forget, he was a man of '92, he was only eighteen or nineteen years old when he first entered the NBA, and he had 245 pounds at that time, which was already very good among his peers.

A few years later, he began to gradually show his strength, and after arriving at the Thunder, his strength reached a stage peak.

With a tonnage of 260+ pounds, he is no longer skinny if he is not particularly strong, plus he is a European center, he has both hand work and range, and he is very efficient. In more than 20 minutes, you can get this kind of data, which is already excellent. If his physical fitness can be improved, he will be considered a killer in this alliance in the future. It's a pity that his physical fitness has not been able to go up, so there is no way, it is a hard injury. But even so, after his tonnage came up, the hand-to-hand advantage of European players began to be reflected in the low position. Since the beginning of this season, his low-post singles rate has risen dramatically, and the number of low-post singles has reached the top 11 in the league, and his low-post shooting rate is as high as 57.3%! The low-post scoring efficiency can outperform almost 84.7% of the players in the league.

Therefore, Covington suffered again, a poor tonnage like him, with a low back, is a nemesis, and the other party is smooth, he can only watch. There are very few options. However, there are few in the league that have this kind of low-post back-to-back ability, and the movement flow projection flow and space flow are the mainstream, and Covington will not be amplified in this regard.

It's just that it's more back tonight.

In addition, Covington is mainly stronger on the outside, and the inside is only temporarily topped by no one on the team, and it is not surprising that he is bullied by an interior player who can carry a tonnage on his back. The back body is not a basket, the ball can be more calm, more difficult to be trapped, and basically there will be no headlong into the inside group. Attacking nuclear weapons in the playoffs, do you think it's a joke?

Covington weighs too little, 206CM is only 210+ pounds, and he can't stop Enes, who can carry a single on his back and 260+ pounds. Kante, what's so unusual? It's almost a 50+ pound difference, and if you change to a stronger one, it's estimated that you will hit Covington to doubt your life.

At this time, it is necessary for real inside players to go to the top, such as Yi Di and Yi Jianlian.

Yi Jianlian's weight was relatively poor back then, only 238 pounds in the NBA, which didn't work at all, even if it was later increased to more than 240 pounds, it was still too little. But what about him now? In 2015, he had the latest CBA physical test data, 258 pounds. That's infinitely close to 260 pounds! And the current alliance is not what it used to be, the inside killer is basically extinct, and the entire style of play of the alliance has begun to become more sporty, so the easy link is now a tonnage that is worthwhile.

At least against N'Golo Kante, who is only a few pounds heavier than himself, his height and tonnage are absolutely sufficient.

I didn't expect that so soon, Yi Di will become a key offensive and defensive area in tonight's game, if he controls Kanter, who is in good form for the Thunder this season, then this game will end without suspense.

Against the black, hard and coarse, Yi Lianlian's core strength is actually a little insufficient, but against the inner line of Europe, he will not suffer so much. Don't forget, in international competitions, he is a big killer at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and the main confrontation is against the European interior line and European teams. After so many years, his tonnage has come up, and his strength has also come up, and the problems of the year will no longer be so deadly.

Kanter also looked down on Yi Jianlian a little bit at first, which is normal, he transferred the Thunder from the Jazz this season, and all of a sudden, it seems to have become enlightened, and he is currently averaging close to 19 points per game in the Thunder game! Although he may be at his peak in the future, this season is just the time when he is at his best.

Isn't it normal to look down on someone who has been eliminated by the NBA?

Seeing that this side was replaced by Yi Jianlian, Kanter sneered and said: "Give me the ball, my side is a defensive black hole." ”

"Give me the ball and watch me kill tonight."
