Slap in the face
"Don't be nervous and relax. It doesn't matter. Just remember to take action whenever you have a chance. Do you understand?" At this time, Da Zhuang patted Yi Jianlian's shoulder beside the Timberwolves bench and said.
"clear!"
When the timeout time was up, the game restarted. Da Zhuang looked at the time and clicked on the BUFF left in the system. Although it was only three minutes, the BUFF that Da Zhuang felt could still build up Yi Jianlian's confidence.
At the beginning of the game, Rubio dribbled the ball forward slowly. Carter was not on the court. Rubio did not hand the ball over, but stood outside the top of the arc. Yi Jianlian also resolutely carried out Chen Dazhuang's instructions. This
The pick-and-roll was very fast, and the position selection was also very good.
As Rubio moved, he quickly passed by Yi Jianlian. He appeared to be breaking through from the right side of Yi Jianlian, and a dislocation was formed in an instant. Rubio also quickly passed Yi Jianlian during the breakthrough process.
Completed a hand-to-hand pass.
After receiving the ball, Yi Jian took two consecutive shots and then stepped back outside the three-point line. The defensive target in front of him also changed to Luo Teng. At this time, there was a strange feeling that seemed to tell him that this was the time to take action.
The best chance.
In addition, Chen Dazhuang, who had just been suspended, kept telling him that he must be decisive when taking action.
Yi Jianlian immediately shot a three-pointer.
Whoa! The basketball drew a wonderful arc in the air, and then passed straight through the frame.
Three points! The referee's high three-point gesture was accompanied by wild cheers from the home fans.
This was Yi Jianlian's first shot after joining the Timberwolves.
"This is good, Chen, how are you sure he can do it?" Smith was also very satisfied with this offense. What he was satisfied with was not that the ball went in, but that Yi Jianlian played the tactical requirements that the team needed him to do.
"I know him well. He has his advantages and of course his shortcomings. I have asked Ogmon and Benoit to spend more time on him recently."
"OK!"
"How's it going, Charles? Did you see anything from the attack just now?" Smith on the commentary table looked at Barkley triumphantly and said.
"Hey, Kenny, it's just a lucky ball. What's there to say? I don't think there is anything?"
Coincidentally, just when Barkley and Smith were arguing, in the box of the stands, when Yi Jian made the shot, Milt also turned his head and glanced at Sanders, but he did not use it.
Use words to provoke the opponent. After all, Sanders is the team's CEO and a small shareholder of the team.
This identity is not something Milt can compare to.
Sanders, who was sitting next to him, naturally saw Milt's actions, just when Sanders was about to retaliate against Milt with the same statement as Barkley.
With the Philadelphia 76ers' offense on the court, the basketball came to Hawes.
Hawes tried to beat Dion in a single position. According to Hawes, I can't beat that guy Oden, so why can't I beat you? After a few times, Dion was indeed limited in strength.
If you can't defeat the opponent, you will be pushed back by the opponent.
At this time, Hawes was completely immersed in the joy of posting up, as if he wanted to vent his frustration at being bullied by Oden in the first half of the first quarter. He did not notice Yi Jianlian at all when he started to post up.
When he was alone, he had quietly moved a few steps in his direction.
Sure enough, Hawes just took the last shot and then collected the ball with both hands. According to common sense, the next step is to move his feet and then shoot. This was Hawes' plan.
But unfortunately, he had just finished collecting the ball. Yi Jianlian quickly moved a few steps in his direction, and then moved his big hand directly, and the basketball that he had not yet held firmly was cut off.
Then Yi Jianlian took a step forward, hugged the basketball, and then bent down to protect it.
This action made Hawes, who had reacted, stop the next movement of reaching out.
With 3 points and 1 steal, Yi Jianlian's performance after the timeout also made the Timberwolves fans in the stands cheer and applaud him.
It is worth mentioning that Hawes, Yi Jianlian, and Oden who was resting were all rookies in 2007, and all three of them were top ten draft picks. Oden was the No. 1 pick in 2007, and Yi Jianlian was the top pick in 2007.
was ranked sixth, while Hawes was ranked tenth in 2007, when the Kings chose Hawes.
After playing for the Kings for three seasons, he came to the 76ers. Last season, he averaged 11 points, 7.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game.
After seeing the steal, the 76ers were not slow to return to defense. Coupled with Hawes's entanglement, after Yi Jianlian handed the ball to Rubio who was receiving the ball, the Timberwolves had no chance for a fast break.
.
As for the Timberwolves, who fell into a positional battle, their offensive routine this time was simply a replica of the previous round.
It's still a pick-and-roll. The only difference is that this time it's a double pick-and-roll routine. After completing the pick-and-roll, Yi Jianlian ran back to the bottom corner. Then Bennett, who attracted attention, also sent the ball to the ball and was released.
Yi Jianlian.
A standard corner three-point shot.
The sound of friction between the basketball and the net and the referee's three-point gesture marked Yi Jianlian's second three-pointer.
These two three-pointers were like two slaps in the face of all the doubters.
Barkley on the commentary table no longer wanted to speak. He knew that according to his partner's temper, the clothes given to him would definitely be too hot to be seen.
Of course, he would do the same thing if Barkley won. In the past few days, whenever he had nothing to do, Barkley had been thinking about what Smith should wear to dance. To be honest, thinking about it made his head hurt. Now that he is fine, he doesn’t need to hurt anymore.
When Yi Jian hit the three-pointer in a row, Chen Dazhuang stood up and high-fived Smith in rare excitement. He also knew that even if he scored three consecutive points, most of them were estimated to be the attribute blessing of BUFF, but Dazhuang knew
As long as this continues for a long time, it will definitely be of great help to Yi Jianlian.
What is the most important thing for such a metaphysical thing as hit rate? In addition to the muscle memory developed through long-term training, Da Zhuang believes that the most important thing is self-confidence. What is hit rate? You only have a hit rate if you make a damn good shot.
This statement.
So don't think that chicken soup is not important, sometimes this thing is quite useful.
"BOOS, actually there is something I just wanted to tell you. Just after Yi signed the contract with us, sponsors from China have already contacted us."
"Really? Great, Milt, you will be solely responsible for this!"
Speaking of understanding, Milt also knows very well what his boss likes most.
"Milt, one of the things I'm most fortunate about is letting you serve as the general manager of the team, and the most right thing you did was to find Chen. I feel that with you in the Timberwolves, the revival is just around the corner."
Fortunately, Da Zhuang didn't hear this, otherwise he would have probably vomited.
Chapter completed!
