If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 5
Yi Jian's image is different from Yao Ming's, he is more confident.

Many merchants like Yi Jian's sudden small changes, and hope to cooperate.

But Yi Jian has already made it clear with his agent that he will not increase endorsements for the time being.

Now worth is not enough, not very cost-effective.

Moreover, Yi Jian already has several endorsements on him, he is not a poor boy, and he is not short of money.

In Dallas, the Chinese team and the Mavericks' Summer United still have a game.

The Mavericks team is led by Barea, and most of them are fringe players in the NBA.

But being able to play in the NBA, even a fringe player should not be bad in strength, and the Chinese team still pays more attention to it.

This time they sent the strongest team, Liu Wei, Wang Shipeng, Zhu Fangyu, Yi Jian and Wang Zhizhi started.

However, they soon discovered that the opponent seemed easier to deal with than the U19s.

Zhu Fangyu opened the scoring with a three-pointer, followed by Yi Jian and Wang Zhizhi's inside doubles.

The inside line of the Chinese team feels like it has some advantages.

Barea is the only one with outstanding strength of the Mavericks.

The old problem of the outside line, unable to keep up with the pace, this is the most deadly in high-level games.

When you have good physical strength, you can also rely on team defense to solve the problem.

After there is consumption, it is easy to go wrong on the defensive end.

However, in this game, the two sides could not defend each other.

The fringe guys on the Mavericks all want to perform on their own, and they don't have the teamwork of the US youth team.

Especially on the defensive end, they were unwilling to exert force. Yi Jian and Wang Zhizhi played casually.

The opponent on the outside is also very lax in defense. With the power on the inside, the Chinese team's outside three-pointers have also risen.

Except for Wang Shipeng who is still out of form, Liu Wei, Zhu Fangyu, and Wang Zhizhi are all very accurate, and Wang Lei and Moko on the bench also gained from beyond the three-point line.

The Chinese team combined internally and externally, and even played back and forth with the opponent.

The player Yi Jian is playing against is Popos Monsa Bonsu, an Englishman. This buddy was undrafted last year. He was also a dunker in college. After being injured, no one cares about him and he can only look for a job everywhere.

Facing Yi Jian, Bangsu wanted to perform well.

In the summer league, the high-ranking picks received a lot of attention, and they were also popular in front of some players who wanted to prove themselves.

As long as he can beat the No. [-] pick, it proves that he is capable of playing in the NBA.

"The NBA is different from other leagues. I won't make it easy for you." Bonsu confronted fiercely when he came up.

This buddy played in the Development League last season and was recalled by the Mavericks to play a few NBA games. He thinks he has more experience than players from the Asian League.

Yi Jian didn't underestimate him, but soon discovered that Bangsu's physical fitness was good, but his technique was really bad.

Even if Yi Jian didn't hang up, he was still stronger than the opponent.

Bangsu is the type who only knows how to rely on his body, but can't play tactics.

He was injured again, and the lateral movement was not so good.

Yi Jian went out to catch the ball, and the opponent flew away at a touch. He didn't rush in and use his skills, and he finished the finish directly in the middle distance.

After scoring, Yi Jian didn't even bother to talk trash, and only gave a "Who are you?" look.

When holding the ball, Yi Jian can almost hit casually.

It's just that I feel a little uncomfortable when there is no ball. The title of No. [-] pick is not only Bangsu, but the Mavericks' edge forwards and insiders are all greedy, and they all come to him to fight.

All kinds of confrontation without the ball, and the deliberate impact with the ball, also caused Yi Jian to commit two fouls very quickly.

He also realized that even with a system, playing in the NBA is not that easy.

The salary in the NBA is top-notch, and so is the intensity of confrontation.

If you are injured, no matter how strong your skills are, you will be blinded.

While resting on the sidelines, Yi Jian was also thinking about how to consume less energy and be more efficient on the court.

How to train yourself to be stronger and prevent injuries.

Yi Jian feels that he can't completely rely on skills, and he needs to practice skills such as outside shooting and develop more offensive skills.

When he played again, all kinds of thoughts in Yi Jian's head were swept away, leaving only the desire for victory.

"Come on, scumbags."

"You want to abuse me to increase your worth, you have found the wrong person."

Yi Jian caught the ball, made a fake throw with his signature move, and then jumped straight up.

"2+1, Yi Jian ravaged the basket again, this is the strength of the fifth pick."

"The Chinese team gradually gained the advantage, and they suppressed the Mavericks on the offensive end."

"The performance of the Chinese team is very good. Yi Jian and the general combination of insiders make the Mavericks helpless."

On the sidelines, Mavericks' coaching staff looked at Yi Jian's performance with envy.

They also want such a rookie, but unfortunately the Mavericks don't have a pick.

Now that the summer league has not officially started, there are quite a few teams that feel a pity.

Like the Bucks who are determined to choose Yi Jian, and the Warriors who have not yet been selected after a high-level pick, they are very sour.

The Sonics are too shameless, and they are not satisfied with Durant.

At this time, Presti, the general manager of the Sonics, was triumphant.

He likes Yi Jian, a big man with explosive physical fitness. Because he didn't know Yi Jian before, he almost chose other players. Fortunately, he saw Yi Jian's performance in the rookie training camp.

The new head coach of the Supersonics, Carlesimo, also paid attention to the performance of the team's two top picks immediately after signing with the team, and he was very satisfied.

Carlesimo's requirement for the Supersonics in the new season is to cultivate potential rookies. After observing the performance of the two, Carlesimo is full of confidence.

Being able to coach such a talented young man is really a blessing in disguise.

Carlesimo's most famous incident was being choked by a madman, and then left sadly from the position of head coach.

He has done well with Popovich in the Spurs for the past few years and finally got a new job.

He told reporters: "Durant and Yi Jian are both very good players. I know how to make this talented young man grow up. I have learned how to get along with players. I can't wait to take them forward in the NBA. "

On the court, after the Chinese team took the lead, they gradually took control of the situation.

Their lead has been controlled at around 10 points.

Until the last few minutes, the leading Chinese team began to feel a little confused about how to play.

The main reason is that some players are not confident enough, and some are worried about gains and losses.

Is that how you win an NBA team?impossible?

What if I miss the goal and the Mavericks catch up with the score?
While the Chinese team was hesitating, the Mavericks and those on the fringes of the NBA were still desperately fighting for the contract, and the situation suddenly changed.

When his teammates didn't know how to play, Yi Jian stood up.

"Don't panic, just give me the ball. Our team's tacit understanding is much better than theirs, and the game can definitely be won."

Yi Jian caught the ball with his back near the free throw line, and turned around to attack when he got the ball.

A direct breakthrough and then a violent attack, the opponent has to foul him to stop him.

After standing on the free throw line, Yi Jian still made a steady hit.

So reliable!

As expected of Yi Jian, no wonder he can play in the NBA.

Even the big brothers of the team felt that Yi Jian had a leadership demeanor and was worthy of trust.
