Chapter 705: The United Arab Emirates has taken off!
In the long regular season, injuries are inevitable for any professional player, and the more the main player, the more the team's trump card, the easier it is to be taken care of by the opponent, and the more likely it is to be injured. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Similarly, age and past injuries, as well as playing style and playing time, also affect the health of a player, Mozgov is not young, he has been injured before, shoulder injuries and knee injuries, after joining the Lakers, he has been diligent and hard working on the court, the task of rebounding, the responsibility of defending the restricted area are his, and he is Xie Chen's right-hand man, but he didn't expect that after only a month in the new season, Mozgov was injured.
'It doesn't look like he's seriously injured, but he should have taken the opportunity to rest for a few days and I don't want him to have that problem repeatedly.' As the coach of the team, Luke Wharton looked at Mozgov and was also worried, but Mozgov should not be seriously injured, but Wharton did not want Mozgov to play as soon as possible, he wanted to take this opportunity to let Mozgov rest, in fact, in Wharton's view, there is no need.
Coach Wharton glanced at Yi Jianlian: "Yi, it's up to you next." ”
"No problem, Coach." After more than four years, Yi Jianlian's English has improved, and he has communicated more with his teammates and the staff around him, he believes that this NBA journey will be very different.
"Yi Jianlian is on the field!" Yu Jia watched Yi Jianlian, who was wearing the No. 11 jersey, walk onto the court and said excitedly.
Yi Jianlian played in the NBA again and chose the No. 11 jersey, which is also a very popular number in the history of the Lakers, McAdoo and Karl Malone have all worn this number, and Yao Ming was also No. 11 in the Rockets.
Seeing Yi Jianlian on the field, the Chinese fans on the Internet were all boiling, almost all the posts were positive posts of cheering and encouragement, of course, when cheering for Yi Jianlian, some people did not forget to sarcastically mock Zhou Qi, this is just like the fans praised Yao Ming and belittled Yi Jianlian, maybe this group of people is still the same group of people.
"Come on! We've got your back! Zhou Qi can't do it, I can only look at you! ”
"Take out the strength of the national team! The boss of the team is our own people, you can play with confidence! ”
"Picture: I've waited so many years, not to prove how great I am, but to prove that what I have lost will be regained!"
"When the UAE was in the Olympics, it was a diamond player who took a group of black iron to challenge diamonds and masters, and now it's okay, there are master-level leaders around me, so I don't have to work so hard. But I don't know if if the UAE can play at their level and regain confidence in the NBA if they don't play enough time. ”
For Yi Jianlian, in addition to expectations, everyone is more worried about whether Yi Jianlian can play in the NBA, everyone knows that Yi Jianlian is powerful, and he was not weak before, but even so, he still left the NBA back then, many people say that it is the reason for his personality and emotional intelligence, and the reason for not being confident enough, so, now that more than four years have passed, how much has Yi Jianlian matured? Can it fully adapt to the NBA?
You must know that Durant, who is in the same class as Yi Jianlian, led the team to the finals a few years ago and honored MVP, becoming the second person in the league after James, and Horford in the same class also proved himself, with a big contract of 110 million in four years to the Celtics, and Mike Conley in the same class got the largest contract in NBA history.
In contrast, Yi Jianlian is too bumpy, in the NBA five years, he was forced to change four teams, and he had no choice but to return to China in the uncertain days, and after four years, he re-stepped on the NBA stage.
Yu Jiadao: "Due to Mozgov's sudden injury, Yi Jianlian played a little earlier than we expected, I don't know if the UAE is ready, after so long to fight in the NBA, Director Zhang, what do you think the UAE needs to pay attention to on the court?" ”
Coach Zhang also said quickly: "Although the UAE has been maintaining the same high-intensity training as NBA players, and the offseason is also training in Los Angeles, he must also pay attention to NBA games, but he knows the NBA again, after all, he has not played NBA games for so many years, I think this must require a process of adaptation, first of all, we must pay attention to not mistakes and fouls, I think that after Mozgov's injury, Yi Jianlian will play for a long time, but there may be a lot of fouls, If you can't get it, you will be punished for six fouls in the first game, as for the rest, I believe that with Xie Chen on the field, he will help Yi Jianlian do better. ”
Yu Jia also said: "Well, we are looking forward to the moment when Xie Chen and Yi Jianlian connect in the air!" ”
After Yi Jianlian appeared on the stage, the fans at the scene also gave the warmest applause, and his teammates, including Xie Chen and Luo Er Deng, also high-fived Yi Jianlian, after all, this is Yi Jianlian's first NBA game after so long, and this game is very important to him.
Xie Chen said to Yi Jianlian: "Don't be nervous, play with confidence, I will give you the ball." ”
"Okay." Yi Jianlian's eyes looked firm, and he seemed to be really different from the Yi Jianlian in the past.
After going on the court, he defended one, and it was the Lakers' turn to attack again, Xie Chen immediately handed the ball to Yi Jianlian, and everyone pulled away and let Yi Jianlian play alone.
"Oh? As soon as Xie Chen came up, he gave Yi Jianlian the ball and let him play alone, it seems that Xie Chen is really good to Yi Jianlian. Yu Jia said.
Yi Jianlian is the core of the national team, but when he arrives at the NBA team, he has no status, and if he usually has a bad relationship with his teammates, his teammates may not be willing to pass the ball to him, so that even if he has the strength, it is impossible to play in a short period of time, but after Yi Jianlian came on the court, Xie Chen was willing to hand over the first ball to Yi Jianlian to play, obviously to let Yi Jianlian find a feeling.
Yi Jianlian knew Xie Chen's intentions, and he didn't hesitate, after a tentative step, he directly broke through and went straight to the basket!
It can be seen that Yi Jianlian's speed is still very fast, and the protrusion is also very fierce, but after the breakthrough, Yi Jianlian directly knocked Anthony Davis to the ground, and the referee immediately blew the whistle and blew Yi Jianlian's offensive foul.
"Oh, look at what I just said, you must pay attention to fouls, the UAE hasn't played in the NBA for too long, this is a performance of too much force, he wants to show himself too much, but it backfires." Zhang Weiping also sighed.
Many netizens didn't score Yi Jianlian's first goal as soon as they saw it, and it became their own foul, and they posted a few posts to count Yi Jianlian's ball skills.
"Still can't do it, just come back."
"He's forgotten how to play in the NBA."
“……”
On the field, Xie Chen said to Yi Jianlian with a smile: "I have long seen that kid is not pleasing to the eye, and he hit it well." ”
"......" Yi Jianlian couldn't cry or laugh, he knew that this was Xie Chen comforting himself, but Yi Jianlian was no longer the immature guy who played NBA at the beginning, even if the first ball was not successful, he would not doubt himself or what, he began to believe that as long as he persisted, good things would happen on the court.
Xie Chen saw that Yi Jianlian was still a little nervous, and the second ball was not handed to him for a single, and giving him the ball all the time would only make him more pressure, or let him slowly grab rebounds, defend, and participate in offense on the court, so as to get back the feeling of the game.
played for two minutes in a row, Yi Jianlian still didn't score a point, and domestic fans were also anxious, everyone was waiting to see the first score of the UAE's return to the NBA, and some people even began to scold Xie Chen.
"Xie Chen is too rubbish, isn't he the assist king of the league? Doesn't it make your teammates great? The UAE has been on the court for so long, Xie Chen didn't help the UAE score, the fast break just now actually dunked by himself, it's too uninteresting, can't wait for the UAE to send him an empty catch? ”
"Hmph, he's Chinese-American, do you really think he's Chinese?" Despise Xie Chen, and never watch the Lakers' ball again! ”
And not long after, Anthony Davis beat Yi Jianlian under the basket, causing Yi Jianlian's second personal foul!
"Oh, what did you just say? Fouled for the second time so soon, I don't know if Wharton will replace the United Arab Emirates, I'm afraid the first game of the United Arab Emirates will not have any good performance, I can only expect him to slowly find the feeling in the future games, the Lakers are a very competitive team, it is very likely to reach the Western Conference finals, the United Arab Emirates must prove itself before the playoffs, otherwise, when the playoffs are so critical, the coach will not bet on an uncertain person. Zhang Weiping said again and again.
Coach Wharton saw it in his eyes, and did not show a disappointed look at Yi Jianlian, nor did he mean to replace him, Wharton wanted to let the UAE continue to play on the court and find a feeling.
And netizens are so anxious.
"It's over, at this rate, I will be sent off if I can't finish the half, I'll watch Yi Di's game in a month."
At this time, even Yi Jianlian himself has to doubt himself a little, especially now that he has carried two fouls so early, is his attack and his defense too hard? Is it going to be less tough?
Just when Yi Jianlian was shaken, Xie Chen took advantage of Brother Thick Mei's free throws and said to Yi Jianlian: "I like your tough defensive style very much, Mozgov doesn't know how to recuperate for a few days, without him, you and Randle's defense on the inside must be so tough to deter the opponent, otherwise they will think we are easy to bully and play under the basket, I know you have already committed two fouls, but compared to the needs of the team, it is nothing at all, isn't it?" ”
Yi Jianlian nodded, Xie Chen's words made Yi Jianlian continue to insist on his so-called "overpowered" style of play, he himself thought clearly, six fouls were six fouls, and he returned to the NBA after more than four years, he just wanted to use this tough way to vent and prove his strength!
Even if you fail, you must fail in a way that is acceptable to you!
Pelicans point guard Zhu Holiday found that Yi Jianlian hadn't played in the NBA for more than four years, and judging from his performance after playing the court, he obviously couldn't find the feeling of the NBA, so Holiday had the idea of playing Yi Jianlian in his heart: "He doesn't seem to be able to find the state of the game at all, and now he must be starting to doubt himself, I can play him at this time." ”
Holiday is a very good point guard, averaging 17 points and 6 assists per game last season, and some people even ranked him as the tenth point guard in the league.
Holiday was born in 1990, speaking of which, there are many excellent point guards born in this year, in just six months of this year, Reggie Jackson, Kemba Walker, Holiday , Lillard, John Wall and Rubio were born, it can be said that 1990 is a year of abundant point guards.
Xie Chen didn't know that Holiday had already started Yi Jianlian's idea, and then, if he didn't pay attention, he was got rid of by Holiday and let him go straight to the basket!
Holiday seemed to completely ignore Yi Jianlian's defense, and threw a shot directly, without the slightest hesitation, he may think that Yi Jianlian reacted slowly, or he may feel that Yi Jianlian fouled twice, and he should not dare to jump easily.
However, he was completely wrong!
I saw that in the face of Holladay, Yi Jianlian jumped quickly, stretched out his long arm and immediately implemented the cover!
Yi Jianlian's hand quickly touched the basketball, however, this was not a big hat that everyone expected, but a one-handed cap!
Yi Jianlian actually grabbed the ball directly!
"What?" The host Yu Jia was taken aback.
"Grab your hat! The UAE has completed a cap catch! It's tough! Yu Jia was excited.
Holiday also widened his eyes, he couldn't believe that at this moment, he still underestimated Yi Jianlian's strength too much.
After Yi Jianlian got the ball, he immediately passed it to Xie Chen, Xie Chen also quickly launched a fast attack, at the same time, after Yi Jianlian passed the ball, he also rushed to the front court, because Xie Chen had attracted the Pelicans' defense for the first time, the ball was obtained by Yi Jianlian, according to the NBA tradition, it should be handed over to Yi Jianlian, plus Xie Chen was going to help Yi Jianlian score this time, so when he saw Yi Jianlian running to the basket, he immediately sent out a precise air relay!
Bang!
Yi Jianlian rushed to the basket fiercely, and after receiving the ball, he dunked the ball into the basket with one hand!
The ball was very powerful, and after the ball entered the frame, it hit the floor hard, and this time the dunk seemed to have vented all the anger of the United Arab Emirates for more than four years on this dunk!
"Ahh The UAE scored! Grab a hat and dunk! ”
"Long time gone! After waiting for more than four years, I finally scored again in the NBA! ”
Yu Jia couldn't help but sigh: "This dunk is too tough!" The UAE has been in this particularly tough state from the beginning, you may not understand, for him, how sad it was to leave the NBA before, and now that he is back again, I believe there must be a good start, this is the first time that Xie Chen and the UAE have been connected in the air, and in the future, there will be more and more!
