Time passed in Xue Ding's day-by-day training.

In the offseason of his rookie season, Xue Ding paid great attention to the run-in with the team and the exercise of personal ability!

Because there is no need to play at this stage, offseason training can be insane.

By the time the regular season really starts, Xue Ding's training intensity will drop sharply.

NBA training is indeed very professional, and Xue Ding's abilities are rising rapidly.

Pre-season starts tomorrow.

In the first game, the Trail Blazers hosted the Nets!!

This is a derby, and the domestic attention is very high, and the domestic media are already ready to go!

The UAE is a guest, coming from afar.

Xue Ding entertained the UAE at a Chinese restaurant in Portland!

Xue Ding is also a native of Guangdong, and grew up watching Hongyuan's games.

After he was selected by the NBA team, Xue Ding also found a phone number from the United Arab Emirates, who gave Xue Ding a lot of experience in the NBA.

The character of the United Arab Emirates is very dull, he is really "stuffy", not the kind of stuffy stuffiness, and it is very appropriate to use "cold" to describe his character.

On the contrary, Xue Ding is a person who always has a smiling face and is very sunny and confident, although he is very lonely in his heart.....

The very different personalities of the two have also been presented differently in the NBA.

The UAE team has few friends and seems lonely, while Xue Ding is often at the center of the dressing room conversation.....

There is no absolute good or bad character.

Xue Ding's emotional intelligence is good, and as soon as he met the United Arab Emirates, he was very enthusiastic.... It doesn't look rusty.

The two chatted about Dongguan and talked about Guan-style service....

Before the crackdown, Dongguan's economy was really good.

Then the two talked about the Hongyuan Dynasty and domestic basketball....

The two were also very cordial during the meal, they both spoke Cantonese, chatted and chatted, and naturally talked about the NBA.

The new season is the third year that the UAE has been in the league, and his form has been up and down in the previous two seasons, and he has occasionally revealed frustration in his emotions.

Although Xue Ding could see that he was depressed, he couldn't see that he had a feeling of holding back his strength.

Xue Ding felt that the UAE might not want to stay in the NBA either.

"Xiaoding, what do you think my position should be?" Yi Jianlian asked.

The people around him and the fans in China are demanding him to be a superstar, which puts a lot of pressure on him.

The new season is the third season of the UAE, but he is getting more and more confused.

Before coming to the United States, the UAE also thought that he could become a superstar, but the experience of the past two years made him feel that he might not be able to meet his expectations.

He is also a very hard worker, but this gap cannot be bridged by hard work.

Xue Ding heard Yi Jianlian's question, thought for a while, and replied: "Space type big forward!" ”

The most suitable role positioning template for Yi Jianlian in Xue Ding's heart is Speights or Ilyasova or something, not Nowitzki....

The UAE's skills are relatively simple, the left hand is weak, the back body skills are not pure enough, and the overall view of the court is not very good, but his explosiveness, physical fitness, and shooting skills can ensure that he has a place in the league.

But only at the table!!

There are many prerequisites for this.

When Xue Ding chatted, he also found that the biggest reason why the UAE could not gain a firm foothold in the NBA should be that the mentality could not be integrated into the NBA.

He doesn't fit into the NBA culture, so he can't communicate well with his teammates, which directly affects whether he can get support from his teammates on the court.

Then there's his injuries and skills.

The starting point is too high, the hope is too great, and it also puts a lot of pressure on the UAE!

His ability to be a rotation player isn't a big problem! It can be seen from the Olympic Games in later generations that against the United States team, the UAE is the only star in China who can do it!

Mindset is important, but it's precisely mindset that's the hardest to change.

The UAE went from being reluctant to go to the Bucks at the beginning to forcing the Bucks to let him start.

It's all about sprouting!

His agent, Fagan, seems to have positioned the UAE as an All-Star from the beginning, so he thought he should start in the league, but the UAE's ability really can't get here.

The UAE should have practiced his skills steadily from the beginning of his time with the Bucks and slowly grew up from the bench.

But the consequence of Fagan's messing around like this is that the UAE's skills and mentality have not been polished enough.

Xue Ding thought about Yi Jianlian's favorite style of play, and also understood the reason why he communicated with himself!

To be honest, all the people in China who can study the NBA playing style with him are Yao Ming and Xue Ding!

It is difficult for others to agree with the UAE for what they say.

Are you weaker than me in my major?

And then come and point me out?

Isn't that?

What Xue Ding has to do now is to give the UAE confidence.

"Space power forward?"

The UAE was overjoyed when he heard it, in the NBA, he didn't like inside confrontation, but the people around him let him go inside!

Everyone kept telling him to practice his back, go to the inside card position, grab the board or something.

But he really doesn't like that, he likes to shoot outside!

Yi Jianlian didn't expect Xue Ding, who advocated physical confrontation, to tell him that he wanted to stick to his own ideas.

"yes, you shoot a lot, especially three-pointers! If you can practice your three-point shot, it's worth a lot! At least averaging more than 15 points per game is not a big problem, and there is no need to pay attention to too many people's opinions. Xue Ding said with certainty.

Yi Jianlian's three-point shooting rate in his NBA career is as high as 34%, which is much better than Wei Shao's 22% three-point shooting rate in his rookie season, and if he is increased to 38% or even 40% three-point shooting rate.

Hey, hey, hey.

The future is the era of small balls.

In his third season with the Nets, he did follow this path, and he also averaged 12+7 per game in his career.

It's a pity that he was just unlucky, and he was honestly injured at a critical moment...

This in turn led to the gradual abandonment of him by the coach's tactics.

Then his confidence was gone, and he didn't practice three points again...

He was originally on the right track, but he took a fork in the road....

"Xiao Ding, I thought you were going to let me do the dirty work! Unexpected! Yi Jianlian rarely showed a relaxed look.

Xue Ding's words are more useful than many people's words, just because the two of them are at the same level, Yi Jianlian is almost tired of listening to Xue Ding's news during this time.... It is rare for the United Arab Emirates to see the American media praise a Chinese player so much, and Xue Ding's strength is no worse than him.

"Haha, Brother Lian, now your tennis team's playing style is Calipari's DDM routine, basically everyone stands up, the defender breaks through, you just need to shoot at the fixed point and touch a frontcourt board when attacking, the simpler the task, the more suitable for you."

Xue Ding's words gave him a lot of confidence, and Yi Jianlian nodded frequently!

"Xiao Ding, then it is estimated that a bunch of people will say that I am soft in the future."

"Hey, Nowitzki is also soft, Gasol is also soft, Brother Lian, when the data scores are out, the ones who should shut up will shut up."

Yi Jianlian listened to Xue Ding's words, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt right.

"Hmm."

The two then talked a lot .......

.... To the end!

"Xiaoding, I really hope to join forces with you in the national team, if you are in the Asian Championships this year, we should not lose."

Many of Xue Ding's views are novel, gradually catering to the current trend of the NBA, and Yi Jianlian is also very convinced of Xue Ding.

"I'm looking forward to teaming up with you, too."

Xue Ding did not answer the UAE about the Asian Championships.

Losing may be good for later.
