If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 14 Expressing Attitude
On November 11, the Sonics came to Sacramento, and the away game continued.

Yi Jian was a little unhappy. The king's No. [-] pick Spencer Hawes was absent, which caused him to lose a task trigger point.

Fortunately, the Kings still have an undrafted pick, a relatively comprehensive inside player.

Not strong enough all-rounder is mediocre, maybe because he has no characteristics, this one is more difficult to mix in the NBA.

Fortunately, he showed his value in this game, allowing Yi Jian to activate the welfare task again.

However, it seems that some wool is really not enough.

Darry Watkins only came up to play for a while, without any data. Naturally, the task was completed very well, but the harvest was not ideal.

[The performance in the game beat the Kings rookie Darry Watkins, and the reward was +1. 】

Why only add one data point, whether the opponent is too weak or the pick is too low.

Yi Jian was a little dissatisfied. He might have forgotten the excitement of getting a value increase after a long time when the system was just activated. People are just so dissatisfied.

The Supersonics have a heavy task at the beginning of the season. They started back-to-back, and now they have only played a few games, and they are back-to-back again.

Yi Jian likes playing basketball very much, but he also feels a little tired.

The key is not on the court, but at home and away.

Fortunately, the Grizzlies have two rookies this year.

[Rookie season benefit task: Who is the better rookie. 】

[Task object: Mike Conley, Juan Carlos Navarro. 】

Yi Jian discovered that outside players can still trigger this task, including players like Navarro who are not rookies this year but are coming to the NBA for their first season.

Facing the inside line composed of Gasol and Milicic, Yi Jian's offense was affected a bit, but he couldn't stop the Grizzlies from giving assists. Neither Conley nor Navarro got any chances.

Forget about Navarro, isn't the No. [-] pick Conley the focus of training from the beginning?

Now the Grizzlies are the flying mouse Stoudemire starting, and Conley and Lowry are both on the bench, which is also amazing.

According to Yi Jian's analysis, it may be that the Grizzlies wanted to send Stoudemire away, so they gave them the chance.

Looking at it this way, the Grizzlies are really saving money, but it is estimated that there will be no team to take over at the age of Little Momonga, so they are futile.

[Performance in the game is better than Grizzlies rookie Mike Conley, rewarding +2 for possession, +1 for passing, and +1 for steals. 】

[Performed better than Grizzlies rookie Juan Carlos Navarro in the game, rewarded three points +1, layup +1. 】

Delicious, double the happiness.

Back in Seattle, Yi Jian found that his special interview had already been broadcast on domestic media.

There are pictures of Yi Jian talking about the future, and there are also pictures of him taking reporters to visit the home arena.

"Running and dunking abilities are my strengths. But I still have a lot of shortcomings in offensive skills at the basket. This is what I need to learn and improve after I come to the NBA."

"This is a new beginning, a new challenge, and I hope to play at a high level in the game."

"I'm going to fight for the starting spot, and I'm going to settle for it. That's how players want to win, and I'm going to expect the best from myself."

"In different games, the coach has different requirements for me. Some shoot from the outside, and some have to hit the basket. Now I mainly shoot at the basket, but when there is an opportunity from the outside, of course I have to shoot."

"We play pick-and-rolls on the outside, which is a tactic specially designed for me."

When the reporter asked about the All-Stars, Yi Jian pulled Durant over.

He said firmly: "This is Kevin, one of the players with the best potential in the league. We will grow together, become All-Stars together, and then compete for the championship."

"That is the goal. Competitive sports must have a clear goal, and then work hard step by step. I will enjoy this process."

Yi Jian finally talked about the Olympic Games, and he assured the fans, "I hope that through the first year of hard work in the NBA, I can gain and improve myself, and then I can achieve good results for our national team in the Olympic Games next year. "

"We have to at least break through the No.8 ranking, and we are ready for that."

Looking at the video, Yi Jian felt that his performance was not bad.

Reporter Yuan, who is already familiar with the show, told him that the broadcast volume of special interviews in China is not bad, and many people are paying attention to his performance.

Yi Jian suddenly felt a little excited, and talked to Durant during training the next day.

"Brother, it's time for us to win the game. I didn't have such a bad start to the game before."

"Who isn't? In fact, we are only a little bit away from winning." Durant was also very upset.

Players who can enter the NBA were all masters in their respective territories before, let alone high-ranking picks.

Yi Jian has the impression that the Sonics have lost for a long time at the beginning of this season. He doesn't want to come to the Sonics and repeat such an uncomfortable history.

His rookie season was mainly leveling, but it shouldn't be too miserable.

Whether the team wants to compete for the No. [-] pick is not something that players should care about, as long as the players work hard to win the game.

"Let's go talk to the coach together." Yi Jian suggested.

Durant is not the type of active communication, and he often doesn't speak out when he has ideas.

Now it is appropriate to have Yi Jian pulling them together.

Of course, Durant can't avoid being a tool man in this way.

The two potential stars of the team will always be more confident in bargaining with the team.

Their head coach, Carlesimo, is actually also worried. In fact, the team doesn't have much requirements for the record this season, but the team can't play his tactical arrangement, which will make him appear incompetent.

Carlesimo was a little amused when he heard the intention of Yi Jian and the two of them, he had already given them a large number of shots, okay?

He feels that this is also an aspect of tactics that cannot be fully played out. He actually wants the team to play as a team, but the management puts pressure on him. His status as a head coach is actually not as high as that of the team's outstanding young people.

Carlesimo didn't want to talk too much, so he could only coax the two of them, "You train well, the team will get used to it, and it will naturally win."

"Coach, in fact, we have a lot of time to adjust, some people are not used to it, just wait, let's win a victory first." Yi Jian said boldly.

Carlesimo couldn't hold back his face, and said: "This is not something you have to consider, you just play well."

The three of them talked for nearly an hour, and they couldn't say they reached an agreement, but they definitely had some understanding of their respective ideas.

Carlesimo is still not that good at communicating with people. He is a little deliberate in coaxing players, and his face is somewhat lacking in confidence, not as calm as those famous coaches.

However, the exchange certainly makes sense.

The attitude of the core players of the team is very important.

If Yi Jian and Durant want to win, they must let the head coach know and let the management know.

And they themselves, the next thing to do is also very simple, that is to lead the team's like-minded companions on the court to strive for victory with all their strength.
