Tang Tian was thinking about whether to find Morey to make some transactions to strengthen, and he was stunned for a moment when he heard the news.

Yi Jianlian's strength is in the first gear in the development league, but it is still surprising to score 40 points, you must know that his previous scoring record in the CBA was only 43 points.

The intensity of the development league is definitely higher than the intensity of the CBA at that time, and Yi Jianlian is not the kind of outside line with explosive scoring.

When Cole spoke, he also gave the statistics to Tang Tian.

He was 14-of-32 shooting, 3-of-11 from three-point range and 9-of-11 from the free-throw line, and in addition to 40 points, he had 17 rebounds, seven offensive rebounds, three assists, three blocks, two steals and five turnovers.

He shot 43.8 overall and 27.2 from three-point range, and although he scored 40 points, it wasn't high for an interior lineman, or even a little low.

However, after Tang Tian finished reading it, he nodded.

It doesn't really matter how many points you score, in the development league, outside players often get 50 or even 60 points on the outside, and they don't get an NBA contract.

But more important than how many points are the number of shots, Yi Jianlian looks like he finally dares to shoot.

Turning his head to look at the schedule again, Tang Tian temporarily put aside the idea of going to Morey.

Always give his B plan some time to grow.

The regular season came to an end in November.

The standout performance was undoubtedly the Lakers, who went 19-2 and went 13-1 in 14 games in November.

Phil Jackson became the coach of the month, Kobe Bryant became the player of the month, and the Lakers also jumped to the top of the power rankings on major websites.

In contrast, the Rockets don't seem to have much to gain other than once again exposing the problems at the No. 4 position.

The regular season kicked off in December, and the Rockets started with back-to-back home games.

Thunder first, then magic.

The SuperSonics both left Ray Allen and Lewis last season, and the new season will focus on the "three-less combination" of Durant, Westbrook and Jeff Green.

In the face of young opponents, the Rockets were bloodless and bloodied their opponents 108-87.

Against Green, Landry raised his eyebrows and scored 17 points and 7 rebounds, tying the season's highest score.

The style of the Magic team is a bit similar to the Rockets two years ago, with Howard having a strong point on the inside, four three-point shooters on the outside, and Tecoglu who can be organized.

The two teams played very anxiously after the opening, and Yao Ming took advantage of Howard's confrontation at the critical moment and succeeded in consecutive singles.

It was with this wave of performance that the Rockets narrowly defeated their opponents 113-111.

Landry played steadily, continuing to contribute 13 points and 6 rebounds.

After two days of rest, the Rockets faced the Raptors and won 104-91, with Landry recording a double-double of 11 points and 10 rebounds.

With a wave of three consecutive wins, Landry's performance is getting better again.

During this period when Landry played a stable role, Yi Jianlian also killed in the development league.

32 points and 9 boards, 37 points and 11 boards, 29 points and 19 boards......

Yi Jianlian: This is like a "development alliance monster".

And judging from the close care from Finch, Yi Jianlian's muscle lines are more obvious, and it can be seen that there is no less hard work in the field.

On Dec. 5, exactly 20 days before Christmas, the Rockets flew to Washington for back-to-back games against the Wizards.

The Wizards have had a rocky run off this season, with Arenas, who just signed a contract extension in the summer, having to undergo a third knee surgery after playing two games and being reimbursed for the season again.

Coupled with Brandheywood's right wrist surgery, the season has been played for a month before two major players were injured, and the team is currently only relying on Jamison and Caron Butler to support them.

Landry had a big explosion in this game, and he was everywhere in the first half, scoring 14 points on 7-of-7 shooting, just three points away from a career high.

At halftime, all of the Rockets teammates were pushing and shouting at Landry, and the atmosphere in the team was quite good.

At the start of the second half, Landry grabbed another offensive rebound and scored a rebound, which also caused Jamison's foul.

However, just as the ball landed, Landry accidentally stepped on Blatche's foot and fell to the ground in pain.

Tang Tian "chuckled" in his heart.

Landry was helped off the field by the team doctor and Moreau, and after a period of examination, he was helped back to the locker room, and it seemed that the injury was not light.

The Wizards were limited, and Landry's departure did not change the difference in strength between the two teams, and the Rockets still won 101-87 to win four in a row.

After the game, Tang Tian returned to the locker room as soon as possible and got the examination report from the team doctor.

Grade 2 ankle sprain, expected to miss 1,520 days.

Looking at the diagnosis, Tang Tian's brows furrowed unconsciously.

The first two seasons of the Rockets were smooth sailing, and together this is bringing all the bad luck to this season!

"It's not good for a bad year." Cole said with a wry smile.

Tang Tian took the report and fell into deep thought.

Scola's start didn't work well, and now that Landry is injured, he can only recall Yi Jianlian from the Development League early.

This accident is equivalent to disrupting all his plans A and B.

Now he's faced with another multiple-choice question.

Do you use the only 2 honor points to exchange for an iron ankle for Landry, or directly exchange the confrontation ability for Yi Jianlian and let the latter go directly to the top?

"Steve, come with me to Hidalgo again." Tang Tian put down the report and turned his head to say.

Judging from the feedback given by Cole before, Yi Jianlian has made significant progress.

But after all, data is just data, and whether there is real progress or not, you still have to look at it to know.

The plane roared and landed in Hidalgo County, the second time Tang Tian had visited the town.

Unlike last time, they didn't go to the Vipers' locker room before the game, but went straight to the sidelines.

Coincidentally, the Vipers will face the Austin Spurs tonight.

Although they were sitting on the sidelines, there were only about 40 people at the scene, and they were recognizable at a glance when they sat in the back seats.

After the last time I came, the news reported that they went to the Development League to inspect Yi Jianlian, and then I saw that those fans came directly to Tang Tian to ask for an autograph.

The 24-year-old two-time champion coach is more precious than many basketball stars.

The fans saw it, and so did the players off the field.

When Yi Jianlian turned his head to see Tang Tian and Cole, he just paused, and then slapped his chest with his right fist, which seemed to have changed a little compared to the last time.

The starters from both sides came on, Yi Jianlian jumped high and pulled the ball back into the half from the hands of old rival Prested, and the Vipers got the opportunity to attack first.
