If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 76 Best score in history

At the critical moment, Yi Jian protected the backboard.

Time is running out, the coaching staff on the sidelines reminded loudly that the Chinese team began to control the time.

After Sun Yue dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, he handed it to Yi Jian.

Yi Jian wasted time standing at the three-point line. In fact, the game time was a little longer than 24 seconds, but if the Chinese team made a shot at the last moment, it was still possible to completely consume the time.

Yi Jian is also thinking about whether he can make a big loop at the three-point line if the defensive player sticks over.

The Lithuanian players forced them over, but they didn't dare to exaggerate.

They also understood that Yi Jian will not make mistakes, and the Chinese team intends to waste time to the end.

When the time came to about ten seconds, Lithuania did not dare to wait any longer, and directly chose foul tactics.

Yi Jian stood on the free throw line, and he felt better now.

The chance of victory is in front of you, and your physical strength is almost exhausted. The sum of them is the peace of mind.

He is confident that he can make free throws.

"Yi Jian made two free throws, and the Chinese team led by 3 points. At this time, we only need to defend the opponent's [-]-pointer..."

Lithuania now has two options, quick two-pointers or three-pointers, but they probably will bet on three-pointers, after all, they have replaced five players who can shoot three-pointers.

Yi Jian thinks so anyway, the worst is to fight for free throws.

So he went directly to the three-point line to help defend, and if Lithuania went in and asked for two points, he would give them.

Bigger than free throws, Yi Jian is not afraid.

After fighting to this extent, his mentality is already very calm.

Lithuania may have arranged a three-pointer tactic, and they directly shot a three-pointer from the outside without looking at the opportunity inside.

Under the desperate interference of the Chinese team, they missed a three-pointer. The Lithuanian players were also tired at this time, and their hearts were under great pressure. They lost their previous accuracy.

After they shot, they swarmed up to grab the rebound, but Yi Jian still jumped high and took the rebound.

It is indeed the right choice to improve the rebounding ability before, and the protection of rebounds is too important when the game is critical.

The Lithuanian players reacted quickly and chose to foul again immediately.

European king Jascovicius also left with five fouls, and Yi Jian stood at the free throw line again.

He still made two free throws steadily, which may be related to the stability of his highest attribute. Yi Jian's free throws are getting better and better.

"Yi Jian hit another free throw. Now it can be said that the Chinese team has entered the Olympic men's basketball final with one foot. We want to contribute to the national team. They played very hard today and they created a miracle!"

In Lithuania's last attack, it miraculously hit a three-pointer, but unfortunately it still lost by 2 points.

In the fierce semi-finals where the two teams sent off six players, the Chinese team had the last laugh.

On the other side, the United States defeated Spain, and the Chinese team met the strongest American team in the group in the final.

Spain and Lithuania will compete for the bronze medal. As for Argentina, another strong team, it is very unfortunate that Spain will be eliminated early in the quarterfinals.

Two days later, Spain beat Lithuania in the first bronze medal match.

Group B, worthy of the name of the group of death.

"Yi Jian hit again. He has already scored 32 points. This is the third time Yi Jian has scored 30+ points in this Olympic Games. Not surprisingly, he will be the leading scorer in this Olympic Games."

"The U.S. team hit the rim continuously, and the Chinese team's defensive moves couldn't keep up at all... In fact, the difference of 10 points is not too much, and the Chinese team still has a chance... It's just that the players in the semifinals were more exhausted, and they have no energy now. It's..."

"Yi Jian defends at the basket... Hey, the referee called a foul, and Yi Jianwu committed a foul."

"Although the Chinese team lost gloriously, they got the best result in history. They won us a very important silver medal. Let us applaud the Chinese men's basketball team."

"This is the best men's basketball team ever, and we look forward to a better future."

[Professional record: Winning the Olympic silver medal for the first time, rewarding 10 free attribute points. 】

Many people think that the glory of the men's basketball team has only just begun, but Yi Jian is not so easy to say.

Before the national team disbanded, he communicated a lot with other people.

Especially Yao Ming, he repeatedly told Yao Ming to pay attention to his health.

"Now there are not many ruthless players in the low position in the league. Brother Yao, you can actually lose weight properly, which will increase your professional lifespan. Duncan is losing weight."

"You have no opponents in the low post, but the problem of flexibility will become more and more obvious, and it will lead to injuries more easily. Brother Yao, you must not get injured."

"Don't worry, I have a plan." Yao Ming smiled.

In fact, Yao Ming has already decided in his heart that he will not lose weight.

Now that the inside of the league is a bit weak, the Rockets hope that he can maintain their advantage and help the team achieve better results. Yao Ming also believes that this is the right choice.

Sun Yue will also go to the NBA next season, and Yi Jian also gave advice, that is, shooting.

Some guards can survive in the NBA without a basket, but Sun Yue is definitely not at that level.

Because of Yi Jian's super performance in the Olympics, many business cooperations were successfully negotiated, and he and his agent made a lot of money.

Next, he will participate in many commercial activities, shoot commercials for several brands, and also shoot public service advertisements.

After becoming famous, there are many trivial matters, and Yi Jian may also be free from common customs.

He asked his agent to arrange the time, and still maintained a certain amount of training every day.

Yi Jian is still very clear about what makes him make a lot of money.

So staying competitive is fundamental.

For most of the endorsements, Yi Jian and his agent have the same attitude, big brands with guarantees and lots of money.

But regarding the most fundamental sneaker endorsement of basketball players, the two still have a slight disagreement.

Yi Jian used to be the endorser of sneakers, which was a general endorsement of a well-known international brand. Now that Yi Jian has become famous, it is natural to renegotiate the contract, and other brands have also participated in his battle.

In fact, sneakers have already started, but most merchants are unwilling to pay high prices.

The signature shoes that Yi Jian requested, the major brands are also hesitant.

After all, no matter how good Yi Jian performed, he was still an inside player. According to the merchant's experience, no matter how strong the inside player was, he still couldn't sell so many shoes.

Therefore, those big international brands competing for him look positive, but they will not give him the treatment of a first-line star.

Yi Jian asked Dan Feigen to communicate to see if he could sign a short contract, first for about two years.

He is very confident that his status in the league will be further improved. When he is selected as an All-Star and has an excellent performance in the playoffs, his worth will definitely increase further. At that time, the sneaker contract is not as good as some rookies. Wouldn't it be embarrassing.

Some American players can get super contracts when they are rookies. He doesn't want to be on an ordinary star contract a few years later. Who is he going to spend millions of dollars every year?
As a result, those internationally renowned brands are unwilling to sign short-term contracts.

"Yi, I think those big brands will help you. The most critical endorsement for a basketball player is the sneaker contract. There is a reason why those bastards are not easy to deal with." Dan - Fagan said.

Yi Jian laughed, "I was a little entangled before, but now I don't need it."

"My strength is not because of the sneakers, and...you may have misunderstood my commercial value. Insiders can't sell shoes, haha."
