Chapter 9 Summer League
One thing to say, Yi Jianlian in the previous life was not very happy in the Bucks, because of the monstrous scolding battle between Dan Fagan and the Bucks management, Yi Jianlian has been subjected to strange eyes since he entered the Bucks.
You don't like us? We don't like you yet!
All Dan Fagan's inappropriate words to the Bucks were counted on Yi Jianlian's head, coupled with the fact that his subsequent performance has been unstable, and in the end, after only one season with the Bucks, Yi Jianlian was swept away and went to the Nets in disgrace.
Thinking of this, Yi Jianlian in this life was very happy, it can be said that he was lucky, he didn't want to become the "second generation of chair men", and he took risks to show his weakness of insufficient confrontation in front of Anji, causing his draft market to drop again and again, so that Dan Fagan had to lower his face and beg the Bucks for a chance to try.
A farce in the previous life was so invisibly resolved.
In addition, Yi Jianlian also entered the Bucks with a higher draft pick, and Milwaukee fans also expressed their welcome to the potential he showed in the tryout.
This is the attitude that a city should have towards the newcomers it chooses.
Let's not talk about what the road ahead is, in short, Yi Jianlian feels that this start should be regarded as the best start!
***
After the draft, as is customary, it is time to prepare for summer league, which is an arrangement that all newcomers, even the champions, cannot escape.
Every newcomer has to go through the Summer League.
Of course, there are many benefits to going through the summer league to get used to the pace of the NBA game more quickly and the referee's penalty scale.
Yi Jianlian is naturally no exception, but he is still a little special, his summer league is not with the Bucks, but with the Chinese national team.
In order to achieve good results in the Olympic Games at the door of BJ next year, the Chinese men's basketball team began to practice early, although the NBA's summer league is not as good as the real NBA in terms of game quality, but this is also an NBA-level league, which is full of a large number of NBA role players and water cooler players, and the combined strength of these players is already stronger than 90% of the world's basketball teams.
With such a powerful sparring partner, where would Huaxia Lan Xie miss such an opportunity, under Yao Ming's matchmaking, the Huaxia men's basketball team successfully became a team in this summer league.
is reasonable, Yi Jianlian has to go back to the national team to practice together.
I have to be glad that the relationship with the Bucks management has been handled well in this life, Dan Fagan went to say hello, and Hammond gave the green light very happily.
On July 5, the Chinese men's basketball team came to Las Vegas, and Yi Jianlian packed up his things and joined the team smoothly.
In all fairness, the Chinese men's basketball team formed for the 08 Olympic Games is still considered to be international quasi-first-class in terms of hard power, Sun Dasheng, who has just returned to China and has just been selected like Yi Jianlian, plus Zhu Fangyu, the "No. 1 small forward in Asia", even if Yao Ming will not play in this summer league, but with Yi Jianlian, this combination alone will already be able to beat Asia!
I thought that with this intensity, I should be able to go sideways in the summer league!
But no one thought that the Chinese men's basketball team in the previous generation finally relied on Yi Jianlian's quasi-lore to win a victory.
This shows the strength and standard of the summer league.
However, they are strong, Yi Jianlian thinks that in this life, this Chinese men's basketball team should not only win one, at least, at least it must win more than two games!
"Well, that's the difference I made!" is also the male protagonist, this confidence should still be there!
***
Yi Jianlian is preparing for the summer league with this mentality, well, if time has been stuck at this beginning.
"Allian, run! What kind of circle are you going around on the outside, going to the inside! ”
"Change the guard, change the guard, the people over there have nothing to do with you, didn't you already say it just now?"
"Stop, stop, UAE, you're off track again!"
After a training match, Yi Jianlian's eyes were confused, and in the past forty minutes, he felt like he was sleepwalking, and he didn't know what his next move should be.
It turned out that where he had played in a professional league, he relied on his enthusiasm on the field, and after equating it with tactics at this time, his whole head was blank.
"Alright, let's practice here today! Tomorrow to continue! ”
With the order of assistant coach Li Chunjiang, the first joint training of the Chinese men's basketball team is over, and in terms of effect alone, Yi Jianlian should be the worst one in the whole game.
"Allian, relax your mind, find a feeling, it's okay!"
Fortunately, the big guys didn't blame him much, they all thought that he was tired for the draft some time ago, and his spirit was not very good, so they all said comfort.
Only Yi Jianlian himself knows that things are big!
“4,48?” Through the mirror, Yi Jianlian saw that the ability value of his tactical use did not even reach 50, which was a complete amateur level.
This, what to do!
Yi Jianlian didn't care about resting or not resting, so he took tactical information from the staff and prepared to assault overnight to see if it could have any effect.
Doesn't it mean that the potential is maximized?
Maybe after watching one night, 48 will immediately become 84!
Well, believe in the power of optimism!
There was nothing to say all night, Yi Jianlian pounced on the tactical data and the hungry people pounced on the bread, and the next morning, he excitedly checked the ability value of his tactical use, well, the change is still obvious! It's all 51!
Depend on! I'm finished! Yi Jianlian is crazy in his heart, let alone winning more than two games with the Chinese men's basketball team, it's good not to add to the chaos!
"It's okay, there's still two days! I continue to look at tactics, it should be too late, right? ”
And, right?
And, right?
Just in time for a few!
In two days, Yi Jianlian risked his life and threw himself into tactical analysis, but the result was that his tactical ability changed from 51 to 55.
Still failing.
But there was no time left for Yi Jianlian.
On July 9, the Chinese men's basketball team officially ushered in the first game of the Las Vegas Summer League, and the first opponent was quite fate with Yi Jianlian.
The Memphis Grizzlies who drafted him with the No. 4 pick in this year's draft!
Of course, the Grizzlies' selection of him at this pick was just a trade, and what they really wanted was Mike Conley, whom the Bucks helped them take with the sixth pick, and used it as a bargaining chip in exchange for Yi Jianlian.
This kind of pick swapping is actually common in the NBA.
For example, last year's Trail Blazers and Timberwolves were also traded through mutual selection of Roy and Randy Foye.
It's just that it's okay to trade like this, but the two players who are traded can't avoid being compared, Roy and Foye, and the same is true between Conley and Yi Jianlian, even if they are not in the same position, they are still compared together.
