Chapter 258: The Preseason Ends (Plus Update)
At the end of the game, Yi Jianlian looked at the audience who gradually began to leave, but he was not in a hurry to leave, and after looking in the crowd for a long time, he finally found Liu Yifei.
A moment of eye contact with her.
The latter covered his mouth and laughed.
She should have seen him looking for her!
Yi Jianlian saw that the audience in the front row was almost gone, so he went directly into the audience and walked in front of Liu Yifei, but he heard the latter say with a smile: "Stupid!" ”
Yi Jianlian scratched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, and suddenly reached out and hugged Liu Yifei.
The infield is step-type, and the place where Yi Jianlian stands is one step shorter than Liu Yifei's, although Liu Yifei is not wearing any high heels today, his height is also above 170cm, and his face is just against Yi Jianlian's chest.
"Wow."
The fans who hadn't left the scene couldn't help but exclaim when they saw this sudden scene of sprinkling dog food.
"You, what are you doing?"
Liu Yifei was frightened by Yi Jianlian's sudden hug, but she didn't break free, just listened to the exclamation in her ear, and her face turned red all of a sudden.
"It's nothing, just hug it!"
Yi Jianlian let go of Liu Yifei with a smile, and the flush on the latter's face slowly subsided after a while.
"Then I'm leaving." Yi Jianlian actually came to say hello, hugging Liu Yifei was really not what he wanted to do at the beginning, it was completely a subconscious act in front of the latter.
"Hey!"
Liu Yifei shouted to Yi Jianlian, who turned around and walked towards the player's tunnel.
"What?" Yi Jianlian turned around.
"To BJ, don't forget to give me a call."
"I'm afraid it's going to be past 2 o'clock in the middle of the night, right?"
"Then you have to fight, do you hear?" Liu Yifei's tone was a little more resolute.
"Okay, I got it!"
Yi Jianlian nodded, signed a few fans who took pictures with their mobile phones along the way, and then entered the players' tunnel.
***
That night, the Bucks left for BJ, where they will play the Rockets in their final game at Wukesong Arena.
Yi Jianlian arrived at BJ at 3 o'clock in the morning the next day, and when he called Liu Yifei, the other party answered in seconds.
Yi Jianlian was stunned: "Didn't you sleep?" ”
"Sleep." Liu Yifei's tone sounded a little unhappy.
"Huh?" Yi Jianlian thought that she was getting up and angry again.
"I dreamed that you didn't call me, so I woke up angry and just received a call from you."
Liu Yifei's next words made Yi Jianlian a little speechless, could this be the legendary "thinking at night and dreaming at night"?
Well? Isn't it a day?
What the?
It's nothing.
“…… I'm here at BJ, so you can sleep in peace! ”
"Good~"
***
After a day off, the next night, the last game between the Rockets and the Bucks started on time.
Originally, I thought that I was left out in Taiwan because I had never been there, so I was a little unfamiliar with the place.
But BJ, there are several players on the Rockets team who are here for the third time!
This face should be familiar too, right?
Can......
"Allian, come on, you are the best!"
"Welcome home!"
"UAE, get the regular season MVP in the new season, I'm sure you can do it!"
But the facts exceeded the expectations of the Rockets players, they really came to the "Devil's Away" here, and Yi Jianlian's every touch of the ball was exchanged for huge cheers on the sidelines.
I'm afraid that the "devil's home field" in Salt Lake City can't be compared.
With such a strong cheer, the state of the Bucks' players on the court was even more fierce than that day at the Taipei Arena, and the difference of 20 points was directly opened in less than halftime.
Yi Jianlian only rested for 4 minutes in the first half and played a total of 20 minutes, which alone exceeded the time of the entire game in the Little Dome.
Obviously, Yi Jianlian is more willing to fight a little longer when he comes back here.
In the second half, Yi Jianlian continued to play, and the difference between the two teams remained above 20 points.
30 points!
Yi Jianlian seemed to be watching the technical statistics desk play, and immediately stopped after cutting 30 points, sat back on the bench, and never played again.
In the end, the Bucks defeated the Rockets 107-81, 26 points, and won two consecutive victories in the Chinese game, which was also their second consecutive victory in the preseason, and they had to go back to the United States to play in the next preseason.
Yi Jianlian carried out some fan benefits for autographed group photos as usual.
It can also be seen from the audience who have been reluctant to leave the scene for a long time that the love of domestic fans for Yi Jianlian is now at the level of a superstar.
Compared to Yao Ming, the flag of the national team, it is not much worse.
***
The next day, Yi Jianlian followed the Bucks back to Milwaukee to continue the preseason.
The next 3 preseason games left for the Bucks team, Yi Jianlian's playing time in each game has been greatly reduced, and he only played an average of 13 minutes per game, almost a quarter, just for him to warm up and warm his hands.
The playing time of Mo Williams and Bogut has also been greatly reduced, although it is not as much as Yi Jianlian, but it has only played about 25 minutes.
The rest of the playing time was given to four newcomers, Jamal Crawford, Channingflye, Tygibson and Danny Green, allowing them to shoot without fear on the offensive end and find their groove early.
Jamal Crawford and Channingfrye are veterans who have been playing for many years, and they quickly adapted to the tactical system of the little K.
Tygibson and Danny Green are still figuring it out, and it looks like there's still a long way to go.
Anyway, the preseason record will not be credited to the regular season, there is no burden on the record, and Xiao K also let go of his hand, and let these two guys lead the offense and let them shoot.
Winning is certainly not expected to win.
Danny Green and Tygibson were also very competitive and did not disappoint Little K at all, losing the last three games of the preseason.
However, the state of these two in the game is obviously much better than before, especially Tygibson, who was full of energy on the court, he can take the ball and attack in these games, and the whole person immediately found a feeling on the offensive end, and he scored 17 points and 13 rebounds in the last game of the preseason, completely showing his underrated athleticism.
Danny Green's improvement isn't as obvious, but he's definitely more motivated, which is a good sign.
In fact, Xiao K didn't have much hope for Danny Green, he just cultivated him when Yi Jianlian admired him so much.
Otherwise, Danny Green would have been thrown by him next to the water cooler.
2 wins, 3 losses.
The Bucks ended their preseason run with a three-game losing streak after a two-game winning streak.
But this three-game losing streak is not a loss, at least it has made Gibson play in shape, and it is predictable that this guy will be an important rotation role for the Bucks in the regular season.
Then came the real war.
On October 23rd, the opening game of the NBA regular season of the 09~10 season officially kicked off!
