If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 79 The Determination of the New Season
In the training camp, everyone also learned that the arrival of several young people in the team had something to do with Yi Jian.

Lowry was requested by Yi Jian by name. Several rookies on the team are also players that Yi Jian is extremely optimistic about.

Durant said triumphantly: "Let me tell you, there is absolutely nothing to say about Yi's vision."

Yi Jian didn't care too much, he had already looked at several people and had a lot of exchanges with them.

For a popular insider like Lopez, he directly said to the opponent: "Brook, I am optimistic about your strength, let's make the playoffs together."

"Haha, I like this kind of team full of energy." Lopez laughed.

Lopez works hard in a low-key manner and has relatively strong adaptability. Except for his lack of athletic ability, he is very good.

This kind of player doesn't need to say much, others need to give some advice.

On Xiao Qiaodan's side, Yi Jian said with some emotion: "We have played against each other before, and I know your strength. You are definitely at the lottery level. Because you are not in good condition for a while, no one picks you in the first round."

"We have to work together to make those teams that underestimate you regret it."

"Of course, you need to improve your basic skills, which is very important in the NBA."

When Jordan knew that it was not because of Yi Jian that his pick might be even lower, he was actually very embarrassed.

But now, he really hopes to make other teams regret.

"I insisted on training in the summer, and I have made up my mind to improve myself." Jordan said.

"You can do it. You have to have confidence in yourself. Free throws can definitely be practiced. Confidence is very important."

Facing Dragic, Yi Jian said, "You definitely have the strength of the first round, but the league doesn't know you yet. What you have to do is to adapt to the NBA. In fact, the NBA is not fundamentally different from other leagues."

"I can fit in here, and you can too."

"Yi, thank you. I also hope that I can stay in the NBA. I like more challenges." Dragic looked forward to it.

As for Lowry, the two have had several exchanges before.

After he came to the team, Yi Jian often chatted with him.

Lowry's current strength is actually good, he just needs to continue to make progress in the right direction.

"Kyle, you are very good. You are the kind of guard who can help the team win. Now you only need to improve your shooting, and you can perfectly become the leader of the league's guard line."

"Especially three-pointers, this will be the future trend of the league, believe me."

Lowry is also very determined after coming to the Thunder. He has missed the opportunity in the Grizzlies, and he does not want to fail this time.

He nodded and said: "I can do it very well. I hope I can help the team and become an important part of the team."

Yi Jian also took everyone to practice shooting, including free throws and three-pointers.

He said to everyone: "No matter how basketball develops, shooting will be fundamental."

"After I came to the team, I found that Kevin is very comprehensive, and his shooting allows him to score easily."

"Of course I didn't want to fall, so I kept practicing, and my shooting improved very quickly, and then it was easier to score in the game."

"The key to things like shooting is confidence and determination. We can enter the NBA because we are all talented basketball players. If none of us can do it, no one can do it."

"I used to think that I might not be able to shoot like an outside player. After entering the league, I saw so many talented players, and I realized that I was wrong."

"If there is a strong reference object around us, the effect of our practice will be better. Don't you think so, reference object Kevin, haha..."

Durant couldn't help but swear, but felt very proud.

He is so strong, everyone should learn from him and help him well.

"There are still three points, now I can easily hit it, everyone see..."

"I didn't shoot three-pointers before, and DeAndre knew that when we played against each other in summer league, I didn't shoot three-pointers at all."

"Right now, I'd bet on post-practice snacks with everyone on the team."

"As long as you have determination and confidence, you can do it. I have always improved my three-pointers during the season, but the biggest improvement is the training before the Olympics. It is more difficult for international basketball to hit the inside, so I need more means."

"I want to help the national team win. I can't lose face at home, so I force myself to practice, practice constantly, and then I hit a lot of three-pointers in the Olympics."

"Kevin knows my earliest shooting percentage. I can train an inside player. It's hard to say if you can't practice outside."

"Ambitious players will force themselves to become better, and then get a big contract."

"Inside players should also practice shooting more, including three-pointers, so that they can have more weapons and have a better chance of getting a big contract in the future."

"Professional athletes, there's nothing shy about chasing big contracts. As long as we keep winning, we'll all have the opportunity to make a lot of money."

"Everyone knows that if you can't work together to win, sometimes even the boss of the team can't get the maximum salary, that's not okay."

"And everyone will try their best to improve their strength and win together. Even if the team cannot offer so many big contracts in the future, many teams will come with big contracts. Maybe you can go to big cities in the future to enjoy yourself, Ha ha……"

Yi Jian's performance is indeed very convincing, and the atmosphere of the team has been very good since the beginning of this season.

He takes everyone to practice shooting every day, and the young people are full of energy.

Moreover, the youngsters of the team, Lopez, who is relatively high in the draft, are easy to speak, and the status of others is much worse. The team will not appear to be fighting for power for the time being.

If there is a high-ranking thorn, the situation may not be so harmonious.

The Thunder's advantage is that they have confirmed the status of Yi Jian and Durant, there are no veterans who can't see clearly, and there are no young people who are bluffing.

If they go on step by step, they will become stronger and stronger.

The time has come to October, and the preseason is about to start again.

Except for Yi Jian and Durant, Thunder's other positions are not completely determined.

It is estimated that Lopez will have no problem starting, but it is hard to say that it is better to exercise some time from the beginning.

Lowry will also look at the status first, and the same is true for the second position.

So the preseason is still important to them. The new coach and the new players have to go through running-in.

Yi Jian now has a three-pointer, and his tactics will be somewhat different from last season.

They have a lot of talented players this season, but Yi Jian actually doesn't know when they can really integrate into combat power.

The only thing he can guarantee is that he will continue to improve his strength and then lead the team forward.

In the new season, the team must become a playoff contender, which is Yi Jian's determination.
