Yi Jianlian was so frightened that he dropped the controller on the ground, picked it up again and asked.
"The Denver Nuggets are a team that can be slaughtered by others this year. I thought that I have nothing to do, so why don't we play a small game."
"what game?"
Thinking of some games that two people can play, Yi Jianlian immediately became vigilant.
"Ahem, I just want to pay tribute to Dayao and simply take a gamble with you."
Wang Zelin coughed tactically and expressed his thoughts.
The bet is as follows:
In this game, he asked Coach Terry to move Yi Jianlian to the fourth position. If Yi Jianlian could score 19 points, he would make a small offer to him within his ability.
vice versa.
After thinking about it, Yi Jianlian understood that no matter whether he lost or won, he would naturally be the one taking advantage of this bet.
A championship seed level team!
Even if it's just one game, it's still a huge opportunity.
If you play well, it is possible to become famous in one battle.
So, he expressed the last question in his heart: "I will accept the bet, but I have to agree in advance what the conditions are."
Yi Jianlian was always a little worried if he didn't figure things out.
After all, the guy in front of me is famous for being able to cause trouble.
If he lost, he would let himself run naked... Yi Jianlian quickly took back this bold idea.
"Well……"
This time, Wang Zelin was stunned. He really didn't think of any conditions.
After being silent for a while, Wang Zelin's heart changed and he came up with a bold idea.
"Let's do this, Brother A Lian, if you lose, until January 1, 2014, which is more than a month in the future, I want you to accompany me to experience Portland at 4 o'clock in the morning."
"speak English!"
"Literally, you drive to my house at four o'clock every morning, and we go to train together. I will decide the location."
"that's it?"
Yi Jianlian still couldn't believe it.
"that's it!"
Wang Zelin rolled his eyes and replied.
In fact, it was mainly due to the inability of Andre Drummond to face the Pistons in the last game that made him start to worry about his condition.
Of course it was because he was too wild before the game, but Andre Drummond's rapid progress made him be more vigilant.
Zhuang Shen in the future is nothing to worry about.
The problem is that Andre Drummond is still young. He was the No. 1 high school student in America in high school. He has only played in the NBA for two years and his talent has not yet been fully utilized by the Pistons.
This means that Andre Drummond's future development direction is undecided, and he is very likely to develop into a brand new Drummond.
Wang Zelin thought about the driving force for Andre Drummond for a whole night and roughly understood what it was.
Just himself.
About 2,000 years ago during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, people already knew the principle of "live in sorrow and die in happiness".
The human body is the most precise instrument.
Whenever there is pressure from the outside world, people will subconsciously resist it, then adapt, and then finally resist.
Turning pressure into motivation is everyone's natural instinct.
The difference is that some people lie in their comfort zone and don't want to come out, or even dare to come out; but there are always some warriors who dare to use strong confidence and high morale to meet all challenges and turn pressure into motivation.
Andre Drummond is such a person.
Due to the huge competitive pressure that he brought to him, he evolved ahead of schedule, and it is very likely that he has embarked on a correct path of constantly becoming stronger.
This made Wang Zelin feel a little pressure.
More importantly, as a player with a score of 13, in the last game against the Pistons, he was once forced into a somewhat embarrassing situation by Andre Drummond, to the point where he felt powerless and powerless.
It not only fully illustrates the extraordinary talent of Andre Drummond, but also fully illustrates that Wang Zelin has indeed been too self-indulgent in recent times.
Never doubt the self-confidence and pride of travelers!
Especially a time traveler with its own system.
Fortunately, Andre Drummond used his performance in the last game to make Wang Zelin feel the pressure brought by a true genius.
He knew that it was time to bid farewell to temptation for the time being and devote himself to becoming stronger. With an overall score of 87, he had stayed too long.
In the new season, he found that his strength was not growing as fast as in his rookie season.
The higher the ability value, the slower the progress will be.
Wang Zelin must know this truth.
What he knows better than anything else is that he has indeed been a little lazy recently.
However, laziness is also one of human instincts. Few people can refuse the comfort zone of ease, but instead foolishly look for suffering and sin.
Ask yourself, as a very vulgar person, Wang Zelin is also the same.
Therefore, this type of person often needs not only motivation from the outside world, but also someone to supervise, accompany, and become stronger together with him.
Who is the best candidate?
Wang Zelin ever thought of Lillard.
But when I thought about this guy's recent state, I couldn't help but shake my head.
After all, the starting point is too high!
Can't you?
Looking at NBA history, there can be a few rookies like him and Lillard who reached the Western Conference Finals in their first year...
Except for a few rare greats in ancient and modern times who were completely complete as soon as they entered the league, the vast majority of rookies have survived year after year.
As a result, the two of them reached the Western Conference Finals in their first year!
Impetuous, complacent, proud and a series of not-so-nice words are all reflected in Wang Zelin and Lillard.
Wang Zelin is busy looking for new comrades, while Lillard is busy pursuing a singing career.
The basketball skills of the two are not as pure as they were in their rookie seasons.
After looking around the players in the team for a week, Wang Zelin found the most suitable candidate:
Big brother~Yi Jianlian!
Yi Jianlian was selected for the China National Men's Basketball Team in 2004 and played for 16 years. After Yao and many other big brothers retired, during the darkest period, only Yi Jianlian carried the banner of men's basketball.
Even as the younger generation gradually grew up, the fans were shocked and angry to discover that the only one who is really reliable and can score points in the international arena is the eldest brother!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Who can withstand this situation?
However, Yi Jianlian withstood it!
Leaving aside talent and strength for now, at least in terms of willpower and self-discipline, Yi Jianlian is definitely one of the rarest people in the basketball world.
As a fan, Wang Zelin has only seen this kind of ability in Ji players.
The representative on the NBA court is none other than LeBron James.
The international representatives are Yi Jianlian and "Diamond" Luis Scola.
Another former Mosaic player, currently playing for the Pacers.
There may be many other players who have such will and self-discipline, but the ones Wang Zelin has really witnessed with his own eyes, and who have been doing it for more than ten or even twenty years, are the above three.
While training with Yi Jianlian, Wang Zelin couldn't help but think of all the bad things that would happen to the Tianchao men's basketball team in the future, as well as this man's persistence for more than ten years.
With such a "rigid" guy accompanying and supervising him, Wang Zelin is determined to find what he lost and regain the hot and sexy boy he once was!
As for why it's not a year, but just a month... isn't it because she's afraid that her sister-in-law will stay at home alone, and Ah Lian gets up so early every day, and won't be able to feed her enough?
He set the time simply for the sake of the harmony of the Arab family.
After all, a woman during pregnancy…
…
…
…
Some are happy and some are sad!
The Portland Trail Blazers and the Denver Nuggets, two teams that had a lot of grievances last season, were warming up for the first time in the new season. The Big Three of the Heat had just been shot by Jeff Green in 0.6 seconds and hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer.
Killer...
A good three-game winning streak, eh, gone!
James, who played through injuries, made 9 of 13 shots from the field and contributed a near triple-double - 25 points, 8 rebounds and 10 assists...
What came instead was a QR code invitation from the empty hacking group.
According to unknown gossip reports: After James retired from the game, he almost followed the example of Wei Wei, who was defeated by the old blacksmith in Los Angeles, and almost smashed the home locker room.
Later, Wade stepped forward to dissuade him: "Brother, I'm familiar with this. Don't take it too seriously. It will make us look smaller. Come on, let's wipe the tears from the corners of our eyes and shake hands with our opponents!"
Back to business.
This season, the running and jumping team lost to the Kings at the beginning, and then lost to the Bulls and Spurs, kneeling three times in a row.
It was hard to find warmth from the Eagles. Ty Lawson led the team with 23-8, and 6 players in the team were in double figures. They shot down the Eagles at 109:107 and ushered in their first victory of the season!
In the next game, I was overwhelmed by the Suns' crazy offensive. I lost to the Suns 103:114 and lost to the Phoenix City.
Today we face another challenge from the Portland Trail Blazers, who have the best record in the league. People in Denver are ready to die.
Denver fans said:
Look, everyone is in the Northwest District. They are first in the Trail Blazers League, but our league is last...
Thinking back to last year, although the Trail Blazers were one or two games ahead, overall everyone was still on the same starting line...
It's all the fault of the management who grew up eating shit. Old George is doing well. Why do you think you're replacing him?
Don't talk about it. After 9 years of coaching, the team has not broken through the first round once...
Now, let's get Brian Shaw to lead the players towards the No. 1 pick with an unswerving and steady pace.
Recently, Denver's management has repeatedly stated that the team will soon get back on track, but the poor record cannot stop Denver fans from talking.
Look at the Portland Trail Blazers.
Look what they have done in the new season.
Someone broke out one after another, carrying everyone, beating the opponent.
In the last game, LaMarcus Aldridge scored 55 points, the highest in team history. Even in the history of the NBA, it is an unclear number.
result……
Before the game, the Trail Blazers officially announced: Due to an accidental twisting of his calf while getting on the plane, main power forward LaMarcus Aldridge will miss tonight's game against the Denver Nuggets. The team's new candidate is still under discussion.
While Denver fans were reveling, they began to complain about their own management: Look, the only good news recently was released by the opponent.
But no matter what, one of Portland's Big Three is missing tonight, allowing the Knicks to vaguely see that the door to victory is slowly opening towards them.
…
At 18:00 in the afternoon, Wang Chengjun came to the hotel conference room and participated in the pre-war meeting.
At the meeting, he overcame all opinions and successfully brought Yi Jianlian to the lineup.
Sure enough, people will gradually become the people they hate the most.
He used to hate privileges so much, but now he finds:
So delicious!
However, the premise is that the coaching staff saw that the strength of the two sides is not at the same level, and Yi Jianlian's recent performance is indeed impressive, so they reluctantly agreed.
Definitely not because of a surprise call from general manager Nel Orsi:
It can be said that playing two players at the same time will help strengthen the influence of the Chinese elements on the team, and can further stimulate the number of tourists from China to Portland in the future and a series of other benefits.
…
In the afternoon, Wang Zelin’s teammates came together to play at the plateau devil’s home court.
At 19:15 in the evening, the pre-match warm-up was over, and Wang Zelin entered the court with his teammates.
Ty Lawson, who has a rating of 82, is the absolute boss of the Nuggets this season. He is a quasi-All-Star. If it weren't for the messy off-court incidents, he would have never had any hope of being selected as an All-Star substitute.
If you don't do it, you won't die, which is fully reflected in Ty Lawson.
Orc Fadri, Wilson Chandler, Randy Foye, "My boy" McGee, etc., the composition of the Nuggets' main lineup has not changed much from last season.
It's a pity that a key link is missing. Iguodala, the wing defender, has already been educated to the Golden State Warriors when the NBA opens the summer transfer and signing window.
Curry is able to play so comfortably this year, and the Warriors are currently ranked fourth in the Western Conference. In addition to the growth of Buddha Clay Thompson, it is also inseparable from the team management's recruitment of Iguodala, a top wing in the league, and the team's outside line.
The defense has been greatly strengthened.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! A series of operations by the management during this offseason are tantamount to announcing that the Nuggets have entered a period of reconstruction.
For such a team, Wang Zelin shouldn't have too much focus.
Apart from……
"My brother, you have been playing well recently!"
"Hahahaha, I can't compare to you, Damien, and LaMarcus. You are the true pride of heaven."
In the arena, Wang Zelin and JJ Hixon, who had just been traded to the Nuggets by the Bobcats, hugged each other.
At the beginning of his career, this veteran taught him a lot.
JJ Hickson looked at Wang Zelin, who was becoming more and more like a superstar, and then looked at some of his former teammates and the Trail Blazers, who were getting stronger and stronger, and felt sad in his heart.
Before the game, the mascots and cheerleaders performed one after another. After the players from both sides briefly communicated and took some necessary photos, the 15-minute pre-game preparation time was almost over.
At 19:30, the referee signaled that both sides could play, and the rest of the players rolled out of the court.
We came to the technical stage, applied magnesium powder, jumped twice on the spot, and then we went to the middle circle to jump the ball.
"Snapped!"
Not surprisingly, the league's new jump ball king once again won easily.
After advancing to the frontcourt, he saw his teammates opening up the space and passing the ball to Wang Zelin. Lillard ran away without the ball.
Wang Zelin was playing ball and just took a shot...
"Damn it! You haven't won, have you? Can't you afford it?"
Without a head iron, Wang Zelin flicked in and assisted Yi Jianlian to lick the basket.
Won the first ball.
"I said, man, are you crazy? If you come up, double-team!"
When returning to defense, Wang Zelin approached McGee and was confused.
"..."
McGee was not stupid enough to reveal the team's arrangements to his opponents. He gave Wang Zelin a look as if he was a fool looking at a fool, and ran to the other half of the court to enjoy himself.
Damn, I was actually despised.
At the top of the arc, Ty Lawson holds the ball and uses his hand gesture to call for a pick-and-roll.
He is confident that he can overpower Lillard, but there is no need. That would be too tiring. Now he is the leader of the team and must allocate his physical strength.
Everyone said that the Nuggets couldn't win tonight, and Ty Lawson had to show them.
After the pick-and-roll, he immediately made a fake move and took two steps forward. Yi Jianlian came out to cover the defense and passed the ball in.
Fadri received the ball, took off, and blasted the basket!
"Bang!"
2:2 flat.
"Oh ho ho ho!!! Kenneth Fadri!!!"
The Devil's home DJ exploded on the spot and roared again and again.
Outside the court, Terry Stotts and assistant coach David Vanderpool looked at each other, and both could see the other's dissatisfaction.
This defense is seriously substandard.
"Don't be too nervous. Just pay attention to No. 35. Let the little guy on the opposite side come in and see if I kill him."
Wang Zelin shook his head and patted Yi Jianlian's butt to signal the latter to relax.
"OK, all right."
Yi Jianlian replied.
He knew that this game was never easy, but the more he tried to grasp it, the more likely he was to make mistakes.
He was so anxious just now that his defender was completely missed.
"Pay attention to your movement. I have a hunch that my opponent will take targeted measures against me in this game."
After saying that, Wang Zelin picked up the ball and sent it to Lillard.
Yi Jianlian understood what Wang Zelin meant. He might have a lot of chances to take action tonight.
Whether he can grasp it depends on his strength.
Trail Blazers offense.
Wang Zelin ran towards the basket and the Nuggets began to panic.
All five members of the Trail Blazers can shoot from the outside. If they choose to double-team, there will be open opportunities on the outside; but without double-teaming Wang Zelin, can McGee defend Wang Zelin alone?"
"Double team!"
Soon, Brian Xiao made up his mind. It was more reliable to put a position in the inside than to defend Wang Zelin alone.
The worst case scenario is to just let that Chinese power forward shoot hard, and really think he is LaMarcus Aldridge.
With Aldridge's absence giving the Nuggets a chance to win, Brian Shaw thoroughly studied the Blazers' lineup, especially at the power forward position.
There are only two possibilities for the next inside combination. One is to put in a blue-collar power forward, allowing Wang Zelin to free up his hands and feet to attack; the other is to put in a shooting power forward. It doesn't matter if there is no defense, as long as he can shoot the ball.
It seems that the opponent's head coach chose the latter option.
However, what puzzles Brian Shaw is why he would replace Yi Jianlian in the lineup.
He has some familiarity with this No. 6 pick in the first round of 2007.
The advantages are the peak running and jumping ability of yellow people, the soft touch commonly possessed by Eastern insiders, and the restrained personality.
His shortcomings are even more fatal. His shooting speed is relatively slow, he is easy to be interfered with, his mental quality is average, and his endurance is average. He only needs to be a rotation player all day long. I think I think too highly of him.
Brian Shaw believes that even if Yi Jianlian can score a few goals at the beginning, his efficiency will decrease over time. His goal is to open up the entire No. 36, and this guy is the real danger.
As we all know, once a player does not take a shot for a long time and frequently performs back-and-forth runs on the court, his touch will always reach freezing point.
At that point, it will be a critical moment for the Nuggets.
As for the Trail Blazers who just scored 35 points not long ago, hit 9 three-pointers in a single game, and their scoring average has reached 20 points per game... Brian Shaw has selectively ignored it.
The Nuggets currently have limited strength and can only focus on their strongest points, but do not have the strength to take into account other points.
How Lillard performs depends on God's arrangement.
Therefore, McGee entangled Wang Zelin closely, and the half-orc Fadri cut off his passing route in front.
At this time, Wang Zelin directly pulled to the short corner of the left wing, received the ball and shot in an open position.
"Whoosh!"
A long two-pointer and a field goal.
4:2.
Lillard was puzzled: Why were the assists so easy to get today?
The Chinese spectators who came to watch the game saw that Yi Jianlian actually scored the team's first 4 points and shouted loudly:
"Ah Lian, awesome!"
When retreating, Yi Jianlian stretched out four fingers toward Wang Zelin, and his intention was self-evident.
I already have 4 points, I will definitely win this bet!
"hey-hey."
Wang Zelin just smiled and said nothing.
In fact, he had already won from the moment the bet was agreed. If Yi Jianlian really won, would he not have to train at 4 a.m.?
Naive, the worst he can do is go to Yi Jianlian’s house to pick someone up...
