"See, after Chris received the ball in this position, he didn't give the ball away, but chose a quick turn, this turn is very similar to the turn you shook Lewis that time, but if you really want to compare, your feet are better than him, and the position you have to go to after turning is deeper, Chris's feet are too small, limiting his power on his feet, so that you can get rid of the defense more efficiently than Chris in the same situation!"

"Since you can play like Chris, we're going to increase the amount of dribbling you do in the next practice, what do you think? Easy! ”

After the battle with the Raptors, Chris Bosh's ability on the offensive end left a deep impression on Xiao K, and Yi Jianlian, who is similar in size to Chris Bosh and has a similar style of play to Chris Bosh, is very likely to become the next Little KG in his opinion - when Bosh's nickname was not the Dragon King, he was called Little KG.

The ability to break through with the ball, to pick up baskets like a defender, to shoot from mid-to-long distance, and even to respond to offense is the new definition that Garnett has given to power forwards, and Bosh is the best inheritor of this genre.

Perhaps a new term would be more appropriate to describe a power forward like them: a spatial power forward!

is the big forward who is most adapted to the small-ball style of play.

However, now no one would have expected that the NBA's era of "inside line is king" would one day come to an end, and Chris Bosh and Kevin Garnett were used as templates as the training direction of Yi Jianlian, entirely because Yi Jianlian had the potential in this area.

“OK！”

Yi Jianlian has no objection to the team cultivating him in this way, but for a long time in the future, he should still stick to his current style of play.

The reason is also very simple, he is not Chris Bosh or Kevin Garnett, he is a Chinese player, and the defense he encounters every night is fundamentally different from these two guys.

For Chris Bosh or Garnett, shooting is a means they use to intimidate the opposition's defense, so that the opponent does not put them too far away so that they can break through better.

And for Yi Jianlian, he will shoot in the eyes of most opposing players, that is, this guy can only float on the outside to shoot, I want to entangle him and not let him have any shooting space, then he will be wasted! This is intuitively reflected in the game, in the first four games, most of the defenses encountered by Yi Jianlian were entangled defenses, and as soon as he got the ball, he immediately pasted it, and would rather you play inside than give you a chance to shoot.

It is this differential treatment that allows Yi Jianlian to follow the current style of play, and he will be the hard side, not to say that there is no other way to live without shooting.

Of course, Yi Jianlian believes that this is only for a period of time, and after most of the interior players have learned his ability to fight the inside, I believe they will not be so extreme.

Even if they wanted to, the manager probably wouldn't say yes!

Another point, which is Yi Jianlian's concern, in the previous life, Yi Jianlian insisted on the same style of play as Garnett and Bosh, with breakthrough and projection, combining flexible footwork and soft feel quite well, and once occupied a very important position in the Bucks, but because of this, he was often injured, and several key injuries led him to gradually become a role player, and even left the NBA with regret in the end.

This also became a hot topic among fans at the time - perhaps Yi Jianlian's physical strength could not withstand such a way of playing.

So in this life, Yi Jianlian plans to wait for his physical strength to completely improve, and then change his style of play, anyway, he has the maximum potential, even if he puts in a little more effort at that time, this is better than changing his style of play rashly now, and then getting injured at every turn!

Now, although he is also carrying and fighting every night, combined with his dream steps, he can often control his body well in the last blow and will not have too many unexpected situations.

It's just that he will still obey the dribbling training arranged for him by Xiao K, as a traverser, no one knows better than him how important the dribbling ability will become in the next few years, whether it is an outside player or an inside player, having the ability to dribble and hold the ball is equivalent to gaining a foothold in the league.

Originally, Yi Jianlian was also ready to strengthen his practice in this area recently, but now it is better, the team is willing to spend time with him, which is better than his boring training alone.

Moreover, with a trainer watching, he can be quickly corrected if anything goes wrong during his dribbling drills.

When it comes to arrangement, it is arranged, and the work efficiency of Xiao K is still very high.

After the daily training that afternoon, Yi Jianlian was left behind and began special dribbling and ball control training.

Hammond passed by the stadium and saw Yi Jianlianjia sweating like rain, and he was quite relieved, it is very rare for a newcomer to maintain such a diligent attitude after playing famous.

"Hope for the future of the Bucks, maybe it really happened!"

***

A day later, Yi Jianlian and the Bucks embarked on an away trip again, and the next team he faced had a lot to do with him!

The Houston Rockets are their next opponent.

Yi Jianlian's first encounter with Yao Ming after entering the alliance has finally arrived! This day is a day that many Chinese fans have specially checked on the NBA schedule and are looking forward to.

Once upon a time, there was also a "Chinese derby" on the field! But because the status of the team of Battle and Wang Zhizhi is really embarrassing, they have repeatedly failed to make the trip!

But this time it's really different!

Yao Ming, needless to say, is the core of the Rockets, even Maddie, can't shake his position!

And Yi Jianlian, originally everyone was still a little worried about whether this introverted rookie could get playing time in his rookie season, but as a result, he won the rookie of the week in the first week with an unusually strong performance, proving his ability, breaking everyone's doubts, and being recognized by the team - he is now the core player of the Bucks second only to Michael Reed.

This time, it is a "Chinese derby" in the true sense!

For this day, the league also attaches great importance to it, in addition to the arrangement of the live broadcast in the United States, it also specially prepared the best front-line commentary position for the broadcast platform of Huaxia.

These official cares, which are not usually available, vividly reflect the importance that the league attaches to this game.

Outside the Toyota Center Arena, there was also a big change today, and some UAE fans gathered early in the parking lot where the Bucks bus stopped, waiting for the arrival of the Chinese boys, almost all of them holding the gifts they had prepared.

When Yi Jianlian got out of the car, he was obviously also frightened by the enthusiasm of this group of fans, this was the first time he received a gift in person, and soon he couldn't hold it with both hands, so he had to ask the staff to find a box to load it all.

"Come on! UAE, play a little better tonight! ”

A large part of these fans are local residents of Houston, but they are very pure about Yi Jianlian's arrival, and they are not regarded as enemies at all, but as a friendly game, cheering for Yi Jianlian in various ways.

Yi Jianlian said that it was fake not to be moved, but because this place was not a place dedicated to receiving fans, Yi Jianlian couldn't stay longer, and after taking a photo with a few fans, he entered the away team locker room of the Toyota Center Arena under the arrangement of the staff.
