"Yi, when will you start training?"

In the first week after the playoffs, Yi Jianlian asked Jessica, and it was better for the trainer to be an old partner, after all, the latter was more familiar with him.

Besides, Jessica still has that unexplained relationship with him, so it makes sense that he should continue to hire the latter as his offseason trainer.

"Wait! I need to think again! ”

It's just that Yi Jianlian hasn't figured out which direction to train for the time being, if he continues to be a big forward in the new season, then his main energy this offseason will inevitably be strength training plus weight gain, but if he really changes to a small forward, then the direction he needs to train more will become physical fitness and ball control, in short, the focus of these two positions is not the same, before he has completely made up his mind, in addition to daily training, it is not appropriate to make a plan.

What he was waiting for was Michael Reid's diagnosis.

He didn't have to wait too long, and two days later, he learned from Hammond the specifics of Michael Reid's knee injury - a torn ligament in the knee.

Michael Reid has agreed to surgery, and according to his attending physician's conservative estimates, it will take at least 10 months to recover, which means that he will not be able to return until March next year at the earliest, which is almost the extent of a season reimbursement.

"Easy, how's it going? Nike's rep called again, or I'm going to tell you? Dan Feigen was so anxious that he was about to hang himself, Yi Jianlian said that he would talk about the sneaker contract after the playoffs, he finally got to the end of the playoffs, but Yi Jianlian didn't give a specific time, tens of millions of contracts were almost signed, and millions of commissions were close at hand, he couldn't take it alive or dead, for a money string like him, not to mention how tormenting it was!

"Let them wait first, you remember to prepare some fruit baskets and flowers for me on the 15th, I'm going to visit Michael in the hospital!"

Yi Jianlian planned to wait until he saw Michael.

“OK！” Dan Feigen had no choice but to write the things that Yi Jianlian explained into the memorandum first, so as not to forget these things at that time.

***

During this period, Yi Jianlian received a training notice from the Chinese men's basketball team, after all, the Olympic Games will be held in Huaxia BJ in August this year, as the most mature men's national basketball team in recent years, the goal of the Chinese men's basketball team in the Olympic Games held at their own home is also very high, wanting to create history and reach the top 4.

Yi Jianlian replied in a timely manner, and he would definitely be ready to go back to participate in the training camp at that time, but that was also in mid-June, before Yi Jianlian was not in a hurry to return to China, he still felt that it was better to go back after a period of special training by himself.

His current training volume could easily scare his group of national team teammates!

This week, Yi Jianlian did not increase the amount of training except for the most routine warm-up in the training gym every day, and the reason why he chose to wait for a while to find Jessica to guide him was also because he wanted to rest for a few more days, no matter how to say that the 07~08 season has just passed, the combination of work and rest, and it is not too much to rest for a week.

However, during this time, Victoria's supervision of his diet has not stopped, it is still a scientific meal matching, in Victoria's words, Yi Jianlian's diet since childhood is not scientific, resulting in insufficient physical strength, if Yi Jianlian continues to increase the amount of training in the future training, then the scientific meal is not missing!

Otherwise, the intensity is too great, and the body is prone to problems.

In short, one sentence: chicken, beef, fish, vegetable juice and fruit juice, the daily intake must meet the standard, and other things are not eaten less, but they cannot be eaten!

“OK！”

Yi Jianlian couldn't say anything except a forced smile!

***

On the 15th, the day after Michael Reed's surgery, Dan Fagan took Yi Jianlian to his hospital, and the latter's face was not bad, and the operation was successful.

This is a blessing in misfortune for a seriously injured player.

"I heard you won the best rookie unanimously , cool! Yi, I really didn't misread you! ”

"Heh, I can only say that the media treated me a little fairly this time!"

Dan Fagan went out quickly, and by the way, he went out with Michael Reed's agent, and only Michael Reid and Yi Jianlian were left in the ward.

Yi Jianlian didn't know what to say, so he peeled an apple instead.

Michael Reid, who was silent, suddenly spoke: "The team will ask you for the new season!" ”

"Okay, I'll try to bring it into the top eight in the East, so that you can make a comeback!" Yi Jianlian raised his head and responded with a smile.

"Do what you want, new season!"

"Huh?" Yi Jianlian paused slightly, and his hand peeling the apple also stopped, and glanced at Michael Reed.

"Dan told me that the best fit for you is the small forward position, and I have seen it, your dominance!" Although Michael Reid didn't play the next 4 games, he paid attention to it, one of which declined, and he saw Yi Jianlian's dominance in the small forward position, and he also knew that the big forward's style of play had become a constraint for the current Yi Jianlian.

"If you're worried about my feelings, don't worry! I support your transformation! Sometimes I think it's nice to have a guy who is stronger than me, so that I don't have to be targeted like this in every game, and maybe I can score a little higher! ”

"This isn't like the Bucks boss I know!" Yi Jianlian made a joke, and he really didn't take it seriously in his heart, in his impression, Reed's temper is very good, but his self-esteem is also very strong, under normal circumstances, it is impossible to say that it is not bad to have a guy stronger than me, Yi Jianlian understood this as a low period after the operation, and continued to comfort, "Don't worry!" You're going to recover, you're Michael Reed! One of the best scoring guards in the league! How could such a minor injury break you? ”

"Hahahaha, okay! I admit that those words just now are really not what I wanted to say, I just told you what Dan taught me, and he was about to get angry about it! ”

Sure enough, Yi Jianlian was not surprised at all.

Michael Reed readily admitted, with a smile on his face, but soon he added, "It's just, if the Bucks have to have a boss besides me, then it has to be you, Yi, you are the one I recognize, so, I allow you to have the same ball control as me, even if sometimes more than me, well, that's serious!" ”

“…… Can you know why? ”

"Because you respect me, and of course I respect you!" Michael Reed looked at Yi Jianlian's eyes with great sincerity, Dan Fagan had already told him the whole thing about the sneakers, as long as Yi Jianlian nodded and agreed to transform into a small forward, he could sign a shoe contract of no less than 50 million, but he had been hesitating in order to take care of his relationship with himself, which Michael Reed did not expect, I am afraid there is no more stupid person than Yi Jianlian in the NBA!

You must know that with the talent that Yi Jianlian is showing now, if you really want to speak, Hammond and Xiao K may not be able to nod their heads, and it is even possible to trade him in order to concentrate on cultivating Yi Jianlian.

This guy can still take into account his feelings, which makes Michael Reed really feel respected, and it is even more impossible to say that he is not moved.

"Okay, I got it!" Yi Jianlian exhaled, the look in his eyes seemed to have made up his mind, and handed the peeled apple in his hand to Michael Reed, "I'm leaving!" ”

"Oh, by the way, also, rest assured, I'll wait for you."

"In the playoffs next year, we'll take back what we've lost!"
