Chapter 56: Frustration
"No one can ignore the existence of Yi Jianlian, as a super genius in Huaxia, as the No. 4 pick in the first round of 07, Yi Jianlian has become the core of the Bucks team since his debut, and has repeatedly made his own contributions at critical moments in the game, or grabbing rebounds, or making fouls, or his single footsteps, oh damn, I didn't want to talk about this topic, Yi Jianlian's footsteps are more mature than many veterans I have seen who have played in the league for n years, I have to say, this is a talent!"
Max Pierce, ESPN's chief writer, ranked Yi Jianlian first among all rookies in the class of '07 when he summed up the NBA's past week.
In his opinion, Durant, who has a lack of shooting percentage and scores that rely entirely on shots, and Horford, who has still been tepid so far, cannot suppress the amazing performance that Huaxia Yi has shown in the past week.
The quasi-double-double data of 23 points and 9.7 rebounds per game, as well as the Bucks' record of winning 2 games in 3 games in the past week, fully shows that Yi Jianlian is a player who can cut points and lead the team to victory.
"So far, Yi Jianlian has averaged 9.3 points per game at critical moments, ranking first among all players on the Bucks, and more and more data proves that Xiao K is willing to believe in this newcomer at critical moments, and many key balls will be handed over to him!"
"In short, Huaxia Yi is becoming a phenomenon, we can't ignore it, in the league, a storm brought by Huaxia players is condensing!"
This article, which gave Yi Jianlian a very high evaluation, quickly spread back to China, and also caused a lot of movement among Chinese fans:
"To tell you the truth, the UAE has been really amazing this week, and has repeatedly responded at key moments, and when I grabbed the rebound in the last minute of the game against the Bobcats, I was so excited that I almost broke the remote control!"
"There must be an effort! Look at the current figure of the United Arab Emirates, it is obviously much better when he followed the CBA, and his footsteps, it can be seen that he has not rested for an offseason, I remember that there is an unscrupulous editor who also said that the United Arab Emirates went to a nightclub, and now it seems that this editor must have worked at uc! ”
"Agree with the statement upstairs, Yi Jianlian must have put in his own efforts, in fact, it can be seen from Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming that Chinese players should indeed play with the goal of going to the NBA, even if it is to feel the atmosphere and broaden their horizons!"
"Ahem, don't deviate from the topic, the content of the comment still has to be based on the United Arab Emirates!"

The things that really excited the Chinese fans are behind.
On Nov. 6, the league officially announced its first week's Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year. Among them, the Eastern Weekly Championship went to LeBron, and the Western Weekly Championship went to Kobe Bryant.
Is this the beginning of the league's planned "Finals 23vs24"?
The Western Conference's Rookie of the Week was given to Kevin Durant, who averaged 20.4 points per game and ranked first among all rookies in the West, so despite the Thunder's three losses, Durant still became the Western Rookie of the Week.
The rookie of the week in the East was given to Yi Jianlian, who has better data than Durant, coupled with a better team record, and there is no suspense in winning the best of the week in the East.
Although many Chinese fans have realized that Yi Jianlian may win the "Rookie of the Week" in the first week, when the league officially announced, the big guys are still very excited.
At least the "Rookie of the Week" in the first week of the regular season is an achievement that Yao Ming has not achieved. Moreover, the league officially recognized Yi Jianlian's performance in the first week, which is obviously higher quality than the two reports written by ESPN reporters!
It's a pity that everyone laughed, and Ah Lian cried. The Bucks' next game is at home to the Toronto Raptors, where he will meet Chris Posh, a two-time All-Star who was named to the NBA's All-Star Second Team at the end of last season.
03 The first boss of the golden generation is out!
Yi Jianlian stayed at Bradley Arena for two extra nights.
After such a long time, Yi Jianlian gradually found that he had unconsciously developed a habit of staying in the stadium to relieve pressure through training whenever he was nervous.
He didn't know if it was a good thing!
***
Due to the Bucks' record in the first week, coupled with ESPN and the league's official recognition of Yi Jianlian, who am i's fame is getting louder and louder, more and more fans began to enter the arena, after the last live spectator was almost full, today's Raptors away game made the Bradley Arena audience full half an hour before the start of the game, and there was no empty seat.
Yi Jianlian's appearance has also become louder!
In the mouth of the live DJ, he now has another name - NBA Rookie of the Week! It's just that Yi Jianlian listens to this name today, how does it sound like he is poisoning him!
***
Yi Jianlian's feeling is quite accurate!
Throughout the game, he was unilaterally educated by Chris Posh, whether it was his offensive performance or his ability to read the game, he was somewhat different in front of Bosh, especially in terms of rhythm, which was far behind.
Chris Bosh scored 25 points and 9 rebounds in the whole game, and Yi Jianlian was comprehensively suppressed by him, only getting 15 points and 5 rebounds, and the overall data was almost halved.
In terms of shooting percentage, Chris Bosh also beat Yi Jianlian's 49% with a 60 percent shooting rate.
Fortunately, the Bucks have a greater advantage in other positions, whether it is the offensive ability on the guard line or the suppressive power of the center position, the Bucks are better than the Raptors, so the final winner of this game is the Bucks.
This can be regarded as a hint of comfort for Yi Jianlian's unsatisfactory night!
After the game, although Yi Jianlian did not go to the main venue with Xiao K to attend the post-game press conference, many reporters still found the locker room.
"Yi, congratulations on winning the league's announcement of the first week Rookie of the Week, you've been really good in the past week, but you didn't play too well tonight, Chris Bosh was in control of the game for a while, I wonder how you felt after the first time you played against one of the best power forwards in the league?"
A boba female reporter who squeezed to the front said what everyone wanted to bless and what they wanted to ask.
"He's great, better than me in many ways! Hmm......" Yi Jianlian readily admitted the gap between himself and Chris Bosh, and then he joked again, "However, I finally know why the league gave me Rookie of the Week, maybe they also know that I will be taught a lesson by Chris, so give me a comfort in advance!" ”
"Poof!" And in the mood to joke, it seems that the guy was not hit by Chris Bosh at all. Many reporters were amused by Yi Jianlian's serious appearance.
"I have to admit that Yi still has a lot of shortcomings when playing against the league's top power forwards, tonight, his performance is completely a rookie, but one thing is incredible is that he is indeed a rookie, and there is no doubt that his future is still worth looking forward to!"
On Twitter, Max Pierce, who had previously written an article praising Yi Jianlian, also summarized Yi Jianlian's performance tonight, in a few simple words, but it can be seen that he continues to have confidence in Yi Jianlian's future.
"When an eagle grows into an eagle, it is essential to go through hardships!"
