The regular season is officially over, and the Bucks finally returned to the playoff stage after a year with the sixth place in the regular season.

And their opponent in the first round of the playoffs is still quite fateful to them, it is the Orlando Magic, the dark horse at the beginning of the season finally entered the playoffs with the third place in the East, ahead of them is the absolute king of this season, the Boston Celtics, and the top powerhouse Detroit Pistons, who have reached the Eastern Conference finals for five consecutive years.

Orlando is behind their two teams, and they also squeezed the Cavaliers with the "little emperor" LeBron under them, and I have to say that the strength of this Magic team is absolutely first-class.

What's more, in terms of style, the Bucks are not significantly better than the Magic, well, Yi Jianlian may be one, but as a rookie, he is playing in a more competitive playoff for the first time, and it is easy to be uncomfortable, and it is uncertain how much the performance of the regular season will be discounted at that time.

"Maybe, you won't even get 10 points!"

This is a hot comment from American netizens in the comments below after the playoff matchup table came out, as always, I am not optimistic about Yi Jianlian first.

Anyway, since this season, I've been slapped in the face so many times, even if I get slapped in the face again, I'm used to it!

What if it succeeds once?

I'll be able to add when the time comes: Look, I'll have said it a long time ago!

So Yi Jianlian chose to ignore it and take practical actions to break these doubts.

It's just that it's useless for him to ignore it, ESPN seems to be interested in this topic and has launched a roundtable specifically for this purpose, and not long ago, they just discussed topics such as "whether it is unsportsmanlike for the Bucks not to make substitutions when they are leading by a large score", "Yi Jianlian or Durant, who is more qualified for the best rookie" and so on.

If you want to say that these experts are really idle, everything can be discussed as if it were real!

Yi Jianlian believes that if they are given a piece of, they can still judge the physical health, temperament and character of the person who poops based on the shape and taste of the.

Anyway, it's just blowing! If you can't blow it, then what kind of expert are you!

And Yi Jianlian is like ordering a VIP with them, but if there is a little trouble, it will inevitably make this group of experts start a wave of discussion.

This time, the theme is naturally "Can Yi Jianlian play in the playoffs in the regular season!" ”

I think so, balabalabala......

I don't think so, poof, puff......

Yi Jianlian watched the replay, and he didn't watch the opinions of these experts in the middle, he directly pulled to the end to see the number of votes, okay! This group of guys is really ruthless, there are five people in total, and only one of them believes him.

This person was none other than Max Peirce.

As an easy blow, and an unswerving easy blow, he has always been full of confidence in Yi Jianlian.

If you think about it carefully, it is actually enough to have such a person who understands you and supports you! The rest of the group of people who were waiting to be slapped in the face, Yi Jianlian became more and more motivated.

Anyway, it's themselves who will be embarrassed when the time comes, and I don't care!

Saying this, Yi Jianlian did not despise the playoffs in his heart, even if he was just an ordinary fan in his last life, it can be seen that the regular season is at least one to one and a half levels worse than the playoffs, and he can be regarded as a real star if he can play a brilliant performance on that stage!

That's why some players who make their mark in the playoffs, even if they play a small role in the regular season, will immediately become the focus of the team's management for next season.

For example, JB in a few years, and Randolph who is about to become a "black bear......

For a team, the championship is the ultimate goal, the playoffs are the main stage, and those who can stand on it and perform are really worth cultivating.

Therefore, although the regular season is over in the past few days, the training volume of Ke Yi Jianlian has also increased, ensuring that he can reach the amount of activity on the usual game days, and strive to keep his condition in the best condition!

He didn't want to be treated like a "regular season star."

I haven't looked at my own numerical panel for a long time, and once again facing the mirror, Yi Jianlian sighed a lot, after a season, in addition to the three-point shooting ability, he has made great progress in all aspects, of course, there is a sentence, in this period of the league, few big forwards will pull to the outside to shoot three-pointers, not only the result of the characteristics of the big forward position, but also the coach can not pass that level.

The only special two may be Chris Bosh and Dek Nowitzki, but that is also determined by the style of play of the Raptors and Mavericks, these two guys are the absolute core of the court, and naturally they can catch the ball wherever they want, and shoot wherever they want.

Yi Jianlian can't do it, if he robs the outside shooting point, then Michael Reed and Mo Williams' backcourt pair will basically be useless, they are not a style that is good at breaking through.

And in the era of "traditional center", all the ball has to be played inside, and the status of three-point shots is not so high.

A very simple list, the all-time three-point king Ray Allen's career three-point shooting average reached 5.6 times per game, which is already very high in this period, but if this is not unexpectedly compared with the future NBA three-point king Curry, who will definitely break the historical record, the average number of shots per game is nearly half, which is a very terrifying three-point shooting gap, and it also shows that the two eras are completely two ways of playing.

Therefore, Yi Jianlian does not need to spend too much effort on three-point now, even if he really has strong three-point ability, but in the current system of the Bucks, he still can't play it.

Rather than that, he might as well focus on his other weak areas first.

After all, even if he knew that the "small-ball era" would come, he couldn't just play the reverse version now, right? If he does, it's not certain that he will be able to complete his rookie contract.

Didn't you see that Thomas of the Bulls? At the beginning of the season, he was still the main player of the iron fight, and now he has become a substitute among the substitutes, and it has to be garbage time to get a little playing time.

But looking at his scouting reports, his explosive physicality, positive defensive attitude, and good air cutting ability, dunks are commonplace...... After reading these, who comes to mind? Isn't this little Jordan!

The result? Jordan Jr.'s highest contract was nearly $100 million, but Thomas left the league early.

This is the end of being born in the wrong era and not catering to the times.
