Chapter 706: Helping the UAE Break the Scoring Record!
After four years away from the NBA, Yi Jianlian finally scored in the NBA again!
And the first score after returning immediately ignited the scene and all Chinese fans, Yi Jianlian first completed a domineering hat grab on the defensive end, and then staged a SHOWTIME with Xie Chen at the Staples Center, and dunked in the air!
This ball, properly able to enter today's top ten balls, whether it is the excitement of the action itself or for Yi Jianlian's personal significance, there is nothing to be picky, the suspense is only that it will be officially ranked first or other positions, you know, after Wang Zhizhi joined the NBA Mavericks, it was just a very ordinary mid-distance shooting, and he was selected as the top ten balls of the day, the reason is very simple, it was Wang Zhizhi's first score in the NBA, which has unusual significance for Chinese fans and even Asia.

"UAE! We owe you an apology! ”
On the Internet, in front of the TV, there have been many Chinese fans with tears in their eyes, before the United Arab Emirates did not reach the height of Yao Ming, many fans ruthlessly counted and sarcastic Yi Jianlian, until the NBA completely lost Chinese players did not regret it, and now we can see Chinese players can shine on the NBA court, everyone feels that this is a kind of pride.
For Yi Jianlian, after scoring for the first time, the psychological pressure was much less, and the whole person seemed lighter and relaxed, which was more conducive to Yi Jianlian to play his normal level.
However, Yi Jianlian suddenly replaced Mozgov on the court, and a problem he had to face was how to defend the league's hottest interior Anthony Davis, the year Davis was elected to join the NBA, it happened that Yi Jianlian left the NBA, and when the UAE played in the NBA for a few years, he had never met this guy at all, but Davis had proven his super strength, and was even predicted to be the top four player in the league the year before.
Since entering the NBA, Davis has been pulled to play power forward, so as not to be subjected to too much physical confrontation in the center position, and soon, four years have passed, he is still playing power forward, in order to protect Davis, put him in the fourth position in order to let him play a healthy season, but did not achieve the expected effect at all, but made Davis's athleticism in the three-second zone was wasted, so this season, Brother Thick Mei officially took on the responsibility of center.
Anthony Davis has a very terrifying arm span, up to two meters and three three, whether it is offensive or defensive, it is a great threat to the opponent, and it is not easy for Yi Jianlian to defend against Davis.
Soon, Davis blocked his teammates on the line, and immediately went down, received a pass and took off directly, and dunked into the frame with both hands!
Yi Jianlian also tried to block, but Davis's whole person had already rushed up, coupled with Davis's bounce and arm span, it was not so easy to block, so it was unsuccessful.
Davis' dunks always ignite the Pelicans' morale, and the Pelicans' bench boiled over with it.
Not long after, Anthony Davis hit Yi Jianlian again after receiving the ball inside, the two were almost hand-to-hand, and the physical confrontation was very fierce, Davis may be very confident in the face of yellow players, just like Luo Er Deng fast attack encountered white and yellow people without saying a word, but Yi Jianlian's physical confrontation is not bad, he has been training for NBA-level confrontation, and he comes to Los Angeles every year not only to accompany his wife and children.
However, obviously Davis was more aggressive, and Yi Jianlian was somewhat affected by two fouls, this time, Brother Thick Mei won again, and it was another one-handed dunk and scored points on Yi Jianlian's head.
Many netizens sighed: "Yi Jianlian hasn't played an NBA game for so long, and it's really a bit unlucky to face a monster like Anthony Davis in the first game." ”
No one thinks that Yi Jianlian is weak, but they all think that Anthony Davis is too strong, before Xie Chen appeared, everyone once thought that Anthony Davis was the first person in the NBA in the future, but given that Xie Chen and Anthony Davis are of similar age, Anthony Davis can only compete for second no matter how young he is.
Anthony Davis didn't really start the wild grass mode of the body on the inside until this season, because he was still very young when he entered the NBA, and his body was even developing, and he was afraid of being injured by the bad brother of the league, unlike O'Neal, who directly started the wild grass mode of the body on the inside in the first year of entering the league, and he was not afraid of being injured, and he was against him, and the only one who was injured could be someone else.
Davis misses more than a dozen games each season, including 21 last season, and hopefully he won't get injured this season after more confrontation on the inside.
Anthony Davis hit Yi Jianlian twice in a row, which made Xie Chen a little unbearable, due to the difference in the positions of the two, Xie Chen couldn't directly respond to the thick eyebrows, so this time, he passed the ball to Yi Jianlian again.
Yi Jianlian held the ball in the low post on the right side of the basket, and Anthony Davis also defended it, he felt that Yi Jianlian's most likely way to score was a jump shot, but before Yi Jianlian could make a move, Xie Chen immediately got rid of the defender and rushed to the basket.
"Oops!" Anthony Davis immediately realized that this attack was not Yi Jianlian to play, but Xie Chen to complete it, and sure enough, Yi Jianlian saw that Xie Chen wanted the ball, and immediately passed the ball over.
"Don't want to complete the empty connection!" Anthony Davis hurriedly turned and rushed to the basket for a block.
At this time, Xie Chen had just received the ball in the air, and with his speed and bounce, Xie Chen could have completed the attack before Anthony Davis' block, but Xie Chen quickly threw it to the right rear after getting the ball.
"Pass the ball from behind! This is the direction in which the UAE is located! Yu Jia was excited.
I saw Yi Jianlian fall from the sky, jumped up with all his strength, and then received this pass in the air with one hand, and poured the ball into the basket fiercely!
Through Anthony Davis's body!
Bang!
"Buckle! The UAE blocked Anthony Davis!! Yu Jia exclaimed.
Zhang Weiping also smiled: "Good ball!" Another dunk, another air relay, this time it was dunked by Anthony Davis, it's not easy, in just a few minutes, just these two goals, I think it's more beautiful than any goal in the NBA in the past, Xie Chen is really amazing, this ball passed really well, fortunately, the UAE reacted quickly, knowing that this ball was for him, I don't know why, this year's Lakers ball feels particularly good! ”
"Hahaha, I knew that Xie Chen would take the UAE to pretend to fly together! If the Lakers didn't have Xie Chen, who could have imagined that the UAE would have a day when he would have a thick eyebrow brother? ”
Anthony Davis looked embarrassed after being deducted, he was deceived by Xie Chen for this ball, and he didn't expect Yi Jianlian's physical talent to be so powerful, he really underestimated him.
Anthony Davis really wants to get back face and deduct Yi Jianlian again, but his body is not as domineering as O'Neal, and he can't destroy Yi Jianlian's defense at all.
Two blocks, two dunks! Yi Jianlian's return debut performance is gratifying!
But this was just the beginning, Xie Chen immediately passed to Yi Jianlian, who had just arrived at the three-point line, Yi Jianlian did not hesitate, just like Xie Chen said to him before, boldly attacked, so he pulled it out and shot.
Three-pointer!
"Damn! Yi has the ability to shoot three-pointers! Pelicans coach Gentry lamented, he knows a little about Yi Jianlian, and also watched Yi Jianlian's performance in the Olympic Games, and found that Yi Jianlian scored a lot of three-pointers, as such a big man, with a very standard shooting posture and soft touch, which is not very common in the NBA.
Yu Jia said excitedly: "Yi Jianlian is already seven points!" And two more caps! This is really much beyond our expectations, now the first quarter is not finished, Coach Zhang, now we don't know about Mozgov's injury, if the UAE can continue to perform like this, can he replace Mozgov as the Lakers' starter? ”
Zhang Weiping said: "He may become a starter, but he does not coincide with Mozgov, and his role in the team is also different, Yi Jianlian is more flexible and has three points, Mozgov is slow and has no three points, but his physical skills are good and he can play basketball, Yi Jianlian can become one of the Lakers' five small lineups, just like the Warriors five small lineups back then." ”
Yu Jia nodded: "If Wharton really wants to copy the Warriors' five-small lineup, Yi Jianlian is definitely the most suitable one, but among the Warriors' five small, the role of Dream Chasing Green is very large, I think it is difficult for the UAE to become a player like Green, Green can pass, dribble, shoot, defend and grab rebounds, and can defend from the second position to the fifth position, if the Lakers play five small, the UAE's three-point shot has to be improved again, compared to the previous time in the NBA, the UAE is now a lot more dribbling ability, and the defense of players in different positions should be barely possible, But compared with the Warriors' five, not only is there a gap in the UAE, but there is also a gap in other shooters, the Warriors have three no-solution shooters plus a defensive giant, while the Lakers only have one no-answer shooter, and similarly, Ingram also needs to grow. ”
"That's right, it's still a big gap compared to the Warriors, but don't forget that the Lakers have Xie Chen, he can make mediocre teams play non-mediocre games, as long as the UAE continues to improve, I think of the playoffs, there will be a place for him." Zhang Weiping said.
Yi Jianlian's contract with the Lakers is a bit special, the bonus he can receive with the Lakers depends on the number of his appearances, when his number of appearances reaches 20 games, 40 games, and 59 games respectively, he can trigger the bonus clause in the contract, and if he plays more than 59 games, he can receive the full amount of 6.86 million bonuses, the initiative of this contract is completely in the hands of the Lakers, in the eyes of many players, this is even an unacceptable contract, but the UAE came to the Lakers in order to prove that he also believes in his strength.
The Lakers have been in contact with Yi Jianlian for two consecutive years, and they are absolutely sincere, so they will not deliberately control the number of games played by Yi Jianlian in order to give Yi Jianlian less money.
In fact, whether it is Yi Jianlian or the Lakers, they don't care about this clause, what Yi Jianlian cares about most is whether he can play in the NBA, and the Lakers care about this.
So even if the UAE missed so many games due to injury, he didn't worry about money at all, if he couldn't play the results he wanted in the NBA, even if he received all the bonuses, he wouldn't be happy.
The most important thing for Yi Jianlian is to gain a firm foothold in the Lakers and find his own position, judging from the current performance, Wharton actually has high hopes for Yi Jianlian.
Many people are worried that Yi Jianlian's performance will be anticlimactic, but with Xie Chen's teammate, there is no need to have this concern, Xie Chen is the best point guard in the league, in addition to scoring himself, what he is best at is helping his teammates score, last season, he even helped Porzingis brush up on a single game 50+ high scores, even the Timberwolves' Carl Towns is out of reach.
With the help of Xie Chen, Yi Jianlian scored 17 points in the half! And his Anthony Davis only has 15 points, which is not as good as Yi Jianlian.
At halftime, everyone looked at Mozgov, his injury is not serious, and he will be fine after a few days of rest, but Coach Wharton seems to be interested in giving Mozgov a few more days of rest and does not plan to make Mozgov return in a hurry.
Since the Lakers have been leading the score, winning this game will be a high probability event, and everyone is also very relaxed and chatting.
Xie Chen suddenly asked, "Yi, what is your highest score in the NBA?" ”
Yi Jianlian was stunned for a moment and replied, "It seems to be 31 points." ”
"Is it only 31 points? Now that you're only 14 points away, how about we help you break your record for the highest score in a single game today? Xie Chen suddenly wanted to help Yi Jianlian break his personal scoring record in the NBA, today is Yi Jianlian's comeback debut, Xie Chen chose to do this in the first game of his return, which can surprise others even more.
Yi Jianlian is still as modest and shy as ever: "Oh, no, my score doesn't matter, as long as I can help the team." ”
Xie Chen said: "You have already helped the team, aren't we already leading by a big score now?" ”
Ingram also said: "Yes, Yi, don't be embarrassed, Xie and other teammates have also achieved me on the court, we are a team, we always achieve each other, right?" Today is the big day for you to return to the NBA after four years, and we will make a big news and let the opponents of the league know that although we have injured an interior line, we have a new and more terrible interior line! ”
Coach Wharton knows that Yi Jianlian is a very well-behaved player, this kind of seemingly selfish behavior, if he does not get the permission of the team's coach, he will never dare to let go, and for Xie Chen's proposition, Wharton has always supported it 100%, so Walton also said: "That's right, Yi, do it boldly, let them know that our Lakers have become stronger again, and you will be a very key role in the Lakers lineup, perform well, don't let us down." ”
Yi Jianlian looked at Xie Chen, coach and teammates excitedly, in his previous NBA career, he had never had such a touching moment, Yi Jianlian nodded and replied: "Thank you, I will not disappoint everyone!" (To be continued.) )
