Chapter 35 Rookie Yi Jianlian
"Yi has a great advantage, his strength has improved more significantly, 85kg bench press has been able to complete 16, 5 more than during the trial, this result is the best in the big forward group, and it is much better!"
Needless to say, Ilyasova has obvious deficiencies in projection interior forces from overseas, which is enough to explain the problem by Baryani, the champion of '06.
And Villanueva, who was just traded last season, only has 13 bench presses, 3 fewer than Yi Jianlian. This guy has been in the league for the third year, and all aspects of his body can be said to have been polished, and as for the unfulfilled potential, I am afraid that he really can't realize it.
"I think I already know what to do!" After reading the data, Xiao K was more sure of his thoughts.
***
“OK。 Guys, today we're going to have a group confrontation! ”
It has been two days since the entire physical test data has been analyzed, and the main training of the Bucks team in the past two days is still individual-oriented, not all players have been practicing hard in the offseason, and it is not for nothing that they have not touched basketball for two or three months, and these two days are used to restore the feel of these old people.
As soon as the third day arrived, Coach K began the next step of the plan, which was to fight in groups.
When almost all the players heard these four words, some inexplicable meaning flashed in their eyes. What the group training proposed by Little K means to them is self-evident - it's time to confirm the starters.
Only when the starting five is determined, some specific tactics can be practiced, which will make the training arrangement more focused for the coach, and for the players, it is possible to establish a tacit understanding early by identifying their partners early.
The roster for the first group match was then arranged: the whites Mo Williams, Michael Reed, Mason, Villanueva and Boggart.
With the exception of Mason, the other four were all starters for the Bucks last season.
Avi Storey, Charlie Bell, Bobby Simmons and Yi Jianlian, plus Jack Worth Curle, were deployed as members of their opponent Grey team.
"Ready? Rookies, let's have a wonderful counterattack! Bobby Simmons is the oldest and most famous player on the Gray team, and he won the "Most Improved Player of the Season" award that year, so he naturally became the one who called the shots on the Gray team.
"Wow, Bobby, you're so motivated!" Reed, who was arranging his shoelaces on the other side, heard this and shouted at Bobby Simmons with a smile.
"Beware of being knocked off, Bobby! Bite your braces tightly. Mason added.
The game hasn't even started, and trash talk has already started.
Yi Jianlian, as a rookie, sat silently with his head bowed, but he also scolded in his heart: kill them!
His heart is aggrieved, he has had a really bleak life in the rookie "military training career" in the past two days, he can't even mention it, it's a sad story when he says it, and he may be able to cry a large number of innocent girls on the emotional radio.
These guys even asked him to wash their stinky socks, especially Mason, a bastard, I don't know if it's New York feet or Siberian feet, that's called a stinky one!
***
After a short warm-up, the training match officially began.
The two sides did not play directly with the ball, but threw a few at each other first, and after running two laps, they felt that their bodies were almost hot, and the confrontation between the two sides gradually rose to a higher level.
"Let's go first!"
Mason faced Yi Jianlian who was pulled out through the exchange after blocking and dismantling, and this guy wanted to knock Yi Jianlian when he got the opportunity.
"Rookie, be careful!"
It can be seen that Mason didn't take Yi Jianlian in his eyes at all, and went straight to the right side of Yi Jianlian to kill him, without any confusion and defensive action, the intention is obvious, Lao Tzu just wants to give you over with pure speed! As the winner of the '01 Slam Dunk Contest, the physically strong Mason believes he can do it with ease.
It's a pity that he thinks too highly of himself!
Yi Jianlian began to show the results of his offseason training, with the help of the power belt to train for a month of lateral speed is not covered, easily blocked in front of Mason, forcing Mason to stop the ball, turn around to protect the ball, quite embarrassed a low-waisted hit the ball to pass to Mo Williams, the latter missed the free throw line jumper, the rebound was accepted by Jack, as a white center, the frame is his only strength.
"The first goal seems to have failed!"
Yi Jianlian showed his white teeth towards Mason, Mason was bored with himself, so he didn't squeak, but in his heart he thought that next time you had to look good.
Hey, Yi Jianlian turned around towards Mason's back and pouted, I can't prevent you and me!
"That's a lot of traverse speed!"
Off the field, the first assistant coach Cosby saw Yi Jianlian's lateral movement, and glanced at Coach Xiao K with some surprise, Xiao K didn't expect that Yi Jianlian's lateral movement speed could catch up with the physical fitness of Mason, and smiled with some relief: "It seems that Yi has put a lot of effort into this summer!" ”
In this way, it is not in vain that I made a special arrangement this time.
"Huh?"
Switching the ball and it was the Grey team's turn to attack, Cosby snorted suspiciously, "This lineup is so strange!" Larry, we seem to have forgotten to give the Greys a player with the ball! This might be a bit bad for their offense! ”
"No, that's right, that's how I arranged it!" Little K looked at the gray team players on the court with anticipation, Storey and Bell are both guards known for their defense, and they do not have the ability to break through and organize with the ball, while Bobby Simmons in the third position is more of a pitcher, and Jack in the fifth position is just a blue-collar center who is good at defense.
Maybe Bobby Simmons is a little more likely, but it's only occasional, and everything is expected to be a shooter who is no longer in the same state, which is a bit too strong.
The only chance...... It's the rookie Yi Jianlian!
Little K's arrangement speaks for itself.
The ball was handed over to Yi Jianlian as he wished.
Yi Jianlian, who held the ball in the high position, leaned his back against Villanueva, felt the strength of the defense slightly, and turned directly with the ball, leaving Villanueva behind him easily.
"Beautiful!" The turn was very clean, and from Villanueva's expression, he didn't expect this to get rid of the defense, and Ilyasova, who was sitting on the sidelines, couldn't help but shout.
Yi Jianlian's dribbling ability has improved greatly in the summer, but such a turn and starting speed make him only dribble twice, so he has to hold the ball with both hands, otherwise the ball will be too easy to get out of his hands.
This is a difficult point for big players to dribble, the center of gravity is too high, the ball is high off the ground, and the strength of the rebound is naturally much greater, which is why the league's famous big player Leonard also has dribble slips.
Fortunately, there was only one Boggart left in front of him, and Yi Jianlian judged the latter's defensive posture very calmly, and suddenly raised his hand, which seemed to be a high throw on the move.
Seeing this, Boggart hurriedly jumped up to interfere, this is equivalent to one by one, and Yi Jianlian has made shooting moves, if he can't prevent it, it will be too embarrassing!
The anxious Boggart wants to drink porridge~
But the moment he jumped up, the basketball in front of him gradually lowered, Yi Jianlian's second step directly made a large diagonal step, dodging him flying in the air, exerting force with one foot, and then with that hand, he pulled the ball up and split it into the unguarded basket with one hand.
"Wow!"
The wonderful goal caused an exclamation from the audience, especially Ilyasova, who waved his two long arms like a seaweed dance.
Yi Jianlian, who completed the one-handed split, raised his one-handed high and pulled into an "O" shape in response to his support, and the muscles on his arms also swelled into "8".
"I'm sorry, the rookie is a little hard!"
