Chapter 234: Competition

Hadmund was quick to like Yi Jianlian's Twitter.

seems to agree with Yi Jianlian's words.

But in fact......

He wants to sell Michael Reed, and with Yi Jianlian's phenomenal performance this season, he can become one of the top superstars in the league in the future.

Such players can definitely be developed as the cornerstone of the team.

Michael Reid has long been a dispensable burden in his eyes.

If it weren't for Yi Jianlian to protect him, he would have wanted to sell Michael Reid at the beginning of the season.

It's a pity that because of Yi Jianlian's attitude and the fear that the attitude of the management will chill Yi Jianlian, Michael Reed has not been moved.

Can ...... now

"Damn it!" Hadmund regretted it and wanted to punch himself.

Take a look at the form of Michael Reid, who just made a comeback.

What good things can he trade now?

So, it's not that he doesn't want to trade Michael Reed, it's that Michael Reed can't get anything good now, and he doesn't want to sell it cheaply, so he can only let it go.

Helpless!

***

Yi Jianlian really wants to protect Michael Reed!

The latter helped him a lot in his rookie season, which he always remembers.

You can't forget your roots.

Moreover, during the team's training match, Yi Jianlian found that Michael Reed's state was fine, not much different from the state he was in before he was injured, but when he returned to the court, his performance immediately fell behind.

In Yi Jianlian's view, Michael Reed's problem is by no means technical, a veteran like him who has been in the league for 8 years, shooting is already an instinct, and it is impossible to last so many games and not be able to get back in shape.

Yi Jianlian guessed that his problem was more psychological. It may be that his performance so far this season has been too strong, and the Bucks' record is the best in the last five or six years, which has made the returning Michael Reed have thoughts, such as "should this offensive option be conceded", or, "will my running position overlap with him".

Of course, these are Yi Jianlian's speculations, but from the Bucks' game against Bobcats, which is the last game of a four-game losing streak, Yi Jianlian's observations, Michael Reed is a little hesitant in some shooting options.

For a pitcher, self-hesitation before shooting is actually worse than opposing defense!

"Michael, do you want to compare with me to see the shot!"

During the period of Michael Reed's return, because of the sluggish state, he has been practicing with Yi Jianlian after the joint training.

Michael Reid didn't know what Yi Jianlian's idea was, but he was indeed a little distracted by shooting alone, so he nodded in agreement.

"How do you compare?"

"So be it! Everyone throws 100 mid-range, plus 100 three-pointers, whoever hits the most wins, bet, whoever loses will bring each other a breakfast tomorrow, how? ”

"Yes!" Michael Reid happily agreed, his strength is shooting, and he is really not afraid of Yi Jianlian in this field.

"Who's coming first?" Yi Jianlian saw Michael Reed take the bait, picked up a basketball and asked.

"I'll do it first!"

Yi Jianlian nodded and gave the ball to Reed.

In the end, he lives by shooting, and Michael Reed has a very impressive shooting percentage in two rounds, hitting 94 of 100 shots and 86 of 100 three-pointers.

"Not bad, it's your turn!" Michael Reid was obviously also satisfied with his condition, panting to feed Yi Jianlian.

It's still a bit tiring to throw two hundred balls in a row.

Yi Jianlian didn't say anything more, and went directly into the shooting, his shooting ability has reached 88, and his three-point shooting ability has also made a new breakthrough, reaching 78, and he has warmed up for a long time, so this kind of vacant shooting is basically equal to giving it in vain.

In the end, Yi Jianlian hit 97 of his 100 shots and 85 of his 100 three-pointers.

The total number of hits added up to 2 more than Michael Reed.

Michael Reed obviously didn't expect Yi Jianlian's shooting ability to be so powerful, oh no, it should be said that Michael Reed knew Yi Jianlian's mid-range shooting ability, but what he didn't expect was that Yi Jianlian's current three-point projection has improved so fast, and his ability to shoot three-point shots in this vacancy is about to catch up with him.

For a while, Michael Reid was also stunned.

"Well, Michael, I'm 2 more than you!" Yi Jianlian proudly picked up the last ball and patted it slowly.

"Say it! Whatever you want to eat tomorrow, I'll bring it to you! Michael Reid replied angrily, of course, looking at it like this, he also knew that it was deliberately pretended.

He wanted to hide his surprise in this way.

"It doesn't matter what you eat, I'll eat whatever you eat!" Yi Jianlian patted and threw the ball in his hand, and "Huh" hit again.

"It's just Michael, seeing that I don't have my current shooting strength, I can shoot from any position on the court, so, Michael, don't think about me, you still play your own way, I'm stronger than you! Besides, you've just returned from injury, so I should take care of you! ”

Yi Jianlian waved his hand at Michael Reed, "I'm almost done practicing, let's go first!" ”

"Get out!"

Michael Reed listened to Yi Jianlian's words, first stunned, and then scolded, looking at Yi Jianlian's back when he left, he suddenly laughed.

He is not stupid, and now he naturally understands why Yi Jianlian is competing with him to shoot, not for breakfast at all, but to enlighten him through the game.

This guy, this year has really changed a lot!

February 24th.

The Bucks, who have lost four in a row, host a challenge from the Chicago Bulls.

The addition of the champion Lang Rose to the team is obvious, they were at the bottom of the East last season, and this season they have become a playoff powerhouse in the East, and they have climbed to sixth in the East with three consecutive wins, and they are not a few games away from the 76ers who are fifth in the East.

Because of their strong momentum, many pundits were also very optimistic before the game that the Bulls could win against the Bucks, who have not had a good momentum recently.

Derrick Rose came with anger, and he will never forget what Yi Jianlian said to him after the first game of his career.

Otherwise, you might be called a parallel import!

"Now I'll show you how much you think parallel goods have grown!"

The champion who is full of resentment.

Results......

120 to 98!

The Bucks ended the Bulls' three-game winning streak with a 22-point run, while also ending their own four-game losing streak.

"Derek will be a good player, I'm sure, but unfortunately not now!"

Yi Jianlian, who had 27 points, 11 assists and 6 rebounds, continued to play with Derrick Rose, the champion with 18 points, 9 assists and 4 rebounds.

Derek Ross could only continue to give Yi Jianlian a stinky foot: "Well, I learned a lot from Yi again!" ”

Woo woo woo ~ There's a reason for the Bucks' sudden victory.

In addition to Yi Jianlian, who is still playing steadily, Michael Reed, who scored 23 points tonight, deserves the first credit!

He was 8-of-15 from the field, 3-of-4 from three-point range and 4-of-4 from the free-throw line.

Either stat says one thing – last year's League God pitcher Michael Reed is back!
