Chapter 42: After the Debut

He shot 8-of-13 from the field and 5-of-8 from the free-throw line, totaling 21 points, 5 assists and 7 rebounds! This is the final data handed over by Yi Jianlian in his NBA debut.

Ranked second on the team in scoring, second in assists and third in rebounds.

Whether it's by the standards of a Chinese player, or by the standards of a native American player, or by his ranking as the fourth pick in the first round of the draft, this answer is perfect enough.

What's more, there are many fans and experts waiting for him to hit 0 points, 2 rebounds or 3 points and 1 rebound before the game, which can be regarded as a small slap in the face.

No one could have imagined that Yi Jianlian, a guy who came out of China and fought as a dark horse in the draft but was still not favored, could continue his strong performance and hand over such gorgeous statistics in the first game of the NBA.

Although the Bucks lost, considering the gap between the two teams, this result is acceptable to both Bucks fans and Huaxia fans.

There's no way you're going to expect the current Bucks to win a championship, it's unrealistic, and the Magic were favored by most pundits before the start of this season, causing a storm in the East.

"Yi has been very good, he has already proven his ability and value in his debut, and he will play an even more important role in the next games, and I believe he will get better and better!"

At the Bucks' press conference after the game, Coach K naturally took Yi Jianlian, who had the most eye-catching performance in the game, to appear together, and in front of all the media, he solemnly promised that he would continue to improve Yi Jianlian's status in the team's tactics.

Obviously, no one will blame Yi Jianlian for tonight's loss, and fans who watched the game know that he is one of the two players for the Bucks who are the biggest headache for Van Gundy.

And then there's Michael Reed.

"Congratulations, Yi, I'm glad you were able to make such a perfect debut, this is something that Yao didn't finish back then, you were really good, it's just that in the first and second quarters of the game, you seem to have been talking to your teammate Mo Williams, I don't know if you can reveal it to us!"

A brunette reporter with dyed blonde hair stands up with a standard professional smile but gives a question with a pit.

Actually, this question is for Coach K, who was yelling at Mo Williams all the time, "Give that damn ball out!" "Do you have glue on your hands?" Mo! ”…… In these words, at the same time, Yi Jianlian's communication with Mo Williams is also very frequent, and any reporter, with a little professional sensitivity, will not let go of this phenomenon.

Compared with Coach K, Yi Jianlian, a fledgling rookie, is obviously more suitable as a question object.

Xiao K listened to this black girl's question, and a trace of uneasiness flashed on his face, and he looked towards Yi Jianlian, his eyes flashed with anxiety.

He didn't want to be told by these reporters on the first day that the Bucks would not be in agreement!

His appearance fell in the eyes of the reporter who asked the question at the bottom of the stage, which convinced her that from Yi Jianlian's mouth, a very serious problem was about to be said.

Possession issues? The generals are not compatible? OK, OK, whatever the issue is, it's enough to be big news tonight!

The professional smile of the black girl reporter is even brighter, and interviewing rookies is easy!

"I didn't say anything to Mo! I just think he's a very good teammate! ", you!

"It's a good match on the pitch too!" , you!

"And being able to focus on your own attacking rhythm, I like that kind of player!" , you!

It's a pity that Yi Jianlian's answer gradually made this black girl's smile freeze, and it was obvious that he didn't follow what this black girl expected.

Hey, hey, how can Yi Jianlian, who is a person in two lives, not understand what is called, and some problems can't be put on the surface. Since he can do a humble "rookie" role within the Bucks, he naturally knows how to "make it hard" in front of the microphone.

Whether or not he and Mo Williams had those contradictions, they could not be said, or neither could they come out of his mouth.

Playing a good game is the most important thing for rookie Yi Jianlian to do.

"I have to say, you performed very well, Yi, whether it was on the field or in front of the microphone, you helped us avoid a trouble, I am very satisfied, you can rest assured, Yi, I will definitely give you an explanation, in the name of God, you will have what you deserve! No one can stop it! ”

At the end of the press conference, on the way to the team bus, Xiao K made a promise to Yi Jianlian in a very solemn tone.

"I have complete trust in you, Mr. Manager!"

Yi Jianlian smiled, this is what he wants to hear, Mo Williams doesn't pass the ball to him, he will be in his heart for a while, he can continue to endure until this guy takes the initiative to pass the ball to him or this guy leaves the bucks.

With the current state of affairs, either of these two scenarios will not be far away, all he has to do is wait. Don't be like a thorn in the head, thinking that you can turn the world upside down if you have the ability, to tell the truth, any player who leaves the support of the team is nothing.

And when all the teams think you're a thorn in the head, the league won't be able to tolerate you.

This is the truth taught to him by Cameron Anthony in the previous life, the mistakes made when he was young, and when he is old, he must return them all.

***

The news of Yi Jianlian's perfect debut naturally spread back to China,

For the domestic media, this day is like the New Year, and Yi Jianlian, who has been blowing an offseason, finally has a very powerful proof.

In his NBA debut, he scored 20 plus 5 plus 5.

This is a direct history creation among Chinese players, and it can also be ranked among so many high-pick rookies in NBA history.

Didn't say it, blow!

"The Bucks were reversed by magic in the opening game, and Yi Jianlian's eye-catching performance may become the greatest comfort!"

"Perfect debut, Chinese big forward makes a name for himself in the NBA!"

"No. 9 of the Bucks, only the sky is his limit!"

After Yi Jianlian's debut, most Chinese fans really felt that these media were really too tired in the past, and it was exaggerated enough to read the articles they wrote before.

This time, it's good! It's only one game! directly compared Yi Jianlian with the group of seniors in the NBA, just comparing his debut, I can't wait to put him in the top 20 in the history of NBA power forwards now.

However, there is no problem at all with blowing today! Who made Yi Jianlian's NBA debut play so well? And inside footsteps, shooting, violent dunks, what do you want, from the point of view of the style of play, it is completely an NBA-level technical flow forward, but the experience of the game is still less, and in the face of the three-point line of Turkoglou, I don't know how to defend, of course, this is a rookie problem that will appear, play more games, listen more to the coach's defensive layout!

You can't be black for the sake of black, you have to praise if you perform well, and below these reports, it also really reflects everyone's psychology, more than 70% of them are messages from "Yi Jianlian Niubi" and "UAE domineering".
