Chapter 146 Yi Jianlian's troubles
The North Carolina Tar Heels are the number one seed this year. They have strong players such as Tyler Hansbrough and Ty Lawson. The media generally believe that UCLA does not have an advantage when facing North Carolina.

But the process of the game was unexpected. The Bruins almost completely suppressed the famous North Carolina team.

Tyler Hansbrough was completely at a disadvantage in the direct confrontation with Yi Jianlian. The confrontation ability he relied on for his livelihood in the NCAA did not have an obvious advantage when facing Yi Jianlian. On the contrary, his skills at the basket greatly highlighted Yi Jianlian. Comprehensive and solid basic skills.

After all, it is Yi Jianlian who has undergone late reform and training. Compared with him in the original history, Yi Jianlian, who has been struggling in the NCAA for half a year, is even more powerful, and his physical fitness has also undergone professional targeted training.

How big is the gap between NBA training and NCAA training?

The great Embiid was as thin as a bamboo pole in the NCAA era. After entering the NBA, in just two months, his arms have obviously grown a lot.

In terms of physical confrontation alone, the NCAA is not at the same level as the NBA at all, the difference is too far.

Yi Jianlian went through special muscle-building training in the summer of 06, and when he stood with Hansbrough, he was obviously thicker.

Maybe he has some minor problems in terms of personality, but at least in terms of training attitude, there is really nothing to say, and he is really strict with himself.

This is why he is only a freshman at UCLA, but he has become the most important inside core in the team, because he does have that strength.

Before the start of this game, the media gave Yi Jianlian a 4-star rating, and it is not a big problem to enter the league.

For the Bruins, Darren Collison was sidelined due to injury, and backup defender Russell Westbrook played, but the result was unexpectedly good.

He is very capable on the defensive end and is not afraid of confrontation. With a height of 190cm, Ty Lawson, who is only 180cm tall, is miserable.

In the game, Westbrook staged a good show of forcibly breaking through Ty Lawson many times, reaching the basket to complete a layup, and also had a wonderful performance of assisting his teammates, which is very versatile.

Ty Lawson was stunned, where am I?who I am?Why can't I beat an unknown guy?
NCAA rules are closer to FIBA ​​rules, and the pace of both sides is not fast.

最终UCLA棕熊队以76:68赢得了比赛胜利，维斯布鲁克当选为本场比赛最佳球员，他砍下了21分7篮板5助攻的豪华数据。

Yi Jianlian's performance was not inferior to Westbrook's. He suppressed Hansbrook, who was valued by scouts, on both offense and defense, scoring 16 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists.

If there is no accident, his draft price will inevitably rise, and he should enter the top ten sequence of the lottery from the end of the lottery.

If Yi Jianlian is "black and tough", it is estimated that his current draft pick should be in the top three. After all, he still has the identity of an inside big man.

However, being a yellow race still puts him at a greater disadvantage in the draft. Even though Yao Ming and Late have already played at the NBA level, the league's scouts still generally think that yellow races are not good enough.

Yao Ming, who watched Yi Jianlian's performance with Wanlai, was very happy. After the game, he and Wanlai went to the Bruins to visit Yi Jianlian. He said to Wanlai: "Ah Lian has made great progress this year. With you and Dazhi, next year There are great hopes for the Olympic Games."

Late glanced at Yao Ming strangely, and joked, "Brother Yao can do it, so confident now? It's not easy to play against the US team."

Yao Ming was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood the meaning of being late: "You are more confident than I am. I just thought that with our current lineup, we should have a chance to make it to the quarterfinals. If we are lucky, it would be nice to get a medal. See You mean, it seems that you still want to win the championship?"

Yao Ming is a sensible person, pondered for a while and said: "You are right. If you don't want to win the championship, what is the difference with salted fish? However, the poor record of the US team in recent years has caused great dissatisfaction in the US media. I believe that next year They will send the top lineup to re-establish the dominance of American basketball in the world. You and I are not afraid of any American player, but our teammates..."

Having said that, he also sighed slightly.

It's really a pity for Wang Zhizhi.

If you really want to talk about talent, he may even be higher than Yao Ming.

It was just because he was born in a military team. Under the environment at that time, it was not easy to play in the NBA. After two years of delay, he wandered in the NBA for several years and completely missed the best period of growth. Becoming a qualified starter is already the reason why his talent potential is so strong.

As for Yi Jianlian, even if he participates in the draft this year and is reused by his home team and directly establishes him as the core of the team, he still needs a certain amount of time to grow.

After all, it is rare to see a genius like Late in this world in a hundred years.

As for other domestic players, it's not that Yao Ming doesn't give face, but now Yi Jianlian can easily beat them when he goes back.

I have never been to the United States to play before, so I really don't know how high the level is here.

Now that Yao Ming has achieved great success in the NBA, his greatest wish is to lead the national team to set new records. He leaned over to late and said, "So small, according to what you mean, are you sure you can win against the United States?"

Shaking his head late: "I guess Kobe, James, and Wade will all choose to play next year. Their strength is unprecedentedly strong, especially now that James and Wade have developed the ability to shoot three-pointers, which gives them more tactical options. I don't know much about the strength of those domestic players, so it is unlikely to win."

It can be said that he trained with James and Wade late in the summer, taught them the skills of shooting three-pointers, and also cultivated his biggest competitors.

The two were talking and soon arrived at the Bruins locker room.

There was a scene of joy inside at this time, and the young players sang and danced, venting their excitement and joy.

The head coach of the Bruins, Ben Holland, immediately greeted him warmly when he saw late: "Chi, thank you for introducing Yi to us. He is an amazing big man with excellent physical fitness and shooting touch. Without him, we might have been eliminated this year."

It was late to notice that the one who made the most noise in the crowd was Russell Westbrook, who got the best player today.

He danced in the crowd, in a rather lewd way, in a tumultuous manner.

But he quickly noticed the visitors in the locker room, and immediately pushed away the crowd excitedly: "Hey, Chi, I'm your fan, super fan, can I train with you this summer? Your three points The ball is so accurate, God, I never thought there would be a player like you in this world, you are my idol."

He was enthusiastic and cheerful, chatting about his basketball experience.

Westbrook is a young man with insufficient talent (this is not a joke). He was only 173cm tall when he was a sophomore in high school, and his athletic ability was not outstanding.

But he has a strong competitive spirit, and he is meticulous about training. In the third year of high school, his height soared by 13 centimeters, and finally he has a height suitable for basketball.

And his parents and brothers are all average in height, and the tallest is less than 180cm, so Westbrook has proved with facts that the potential of human beings is really great, and there are many places that can be tapped.

However, the current Westbrook is still a little thin. Ben Holland's evaluation of him is that he is very hardworking, but the talent is not particularly outstanding.

Compared with Westbrook's familiarity, Yi Jianlian, who has been dealing with Late for a long time, still seems a little shy and introverted.

He wiped the sweat off his forehead with a towel, walked to late and said hello: "Brother Yao, brother Dao."

And then it's gone...

After defeating the NCAA giants North Carolina Tar Heels, Yi Jianlian had nothing to say to Wan Lai and Yao Ming.

Fortunately, the two knew his character, and Yao Ming took the initiative to pat him on the shoulder: "A Lian, you did a good job, you have made great progress this year."

Yi Jianlian is introverted, but it's not like he can't speak.

He was silent for a while, and then said: "When I was playing in the CBA, I thought I was much better than the people around me, and everyone praised me as a real genius. When I came to the NCAA, I realized that I am proud of myself. Physical talent is really mediocre here, many people are faster than me, jump higher than me, and train harder than me."

It was rare for him to say so many words lately, so he couldn't help wondering: "Is there something embarrassing for you? If it's about the team, I'm afraid I'll wait for you to solve it yourself. After all, we are outsiders."

Yi Jianlian smiled wryly and said: "No, I actually want to play in the NCAA for one more year. I think the improvement brought me here is much better than that in China, and the training is more professional, and you two big brothers can take care of me. "

"Huh? Do you want to withdraw from this year's draft?" Yao Ming guessed Yi Jianlian's thoughts, "There are advantages and disadvantages for you to do so. We can't help you make a decision."

Yi Jianlian said: "The main reason is that the domestic side contacted me and asked me to participate in the draft this year. But I have carefully discussed with my agent. With my current draft pick, if I am picked by a strong team, my playing time will be very limited. , I won’t get much exercise. If I get drafted by a weak team, I may not be able to adapt to NBA-level confrontation.”

After speaking, he laughed at himself: "I don't have much advantage in playing inside in the NCAA now. If I go to the NBA, I'm afraid I will be considered a parallel importer soon, so I want to play in the NCAA for one more year."

After listening to his words, I immediately understood the delay.

For next year's Olympic Games, the domestic pressure is not small.

People all over the country are looking forward to the success of the Olympic Games. The men's basketball team has three NBA stars, plus Yi Jianlian who plays in the NCAA.

This pressure naturally affected Yi Jianlian in a disguised form.
