Chapter 46 The worst of times, the best of Yi Jianlian!
"Brother A Lian! Approximately!"
Wang Zelin looked up and saw that the people coming were none other than Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhizhi.
"What's the matter? Do you feel a little out of place?"
After Wang Zhizhi sat down, he raised the chicken breast in his hand.
Huh!
Wang Zelin suddenly discovered that what was on the plates of Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhizhi was not the big fish and meat that Sun Yue and others were enjoying, but a nutritious meal that was almost the same as his own.
"Just get used to it. That's how they are. That guy Dayao couldn't change anything back then. We just have to try our best to be ourselves."
Wang Zhizhi shook his head and smiled helplessly.
Yi Jianlian lowered his head and remained silent, focusing on the vegetable salad in front of him.
Just like Wang Zhizhi said, he has long been accustomed to this situation.
"Um!"
Looking at Wang Zhizhi and Yi Jianlian in front of him, Wang Zelin finally knew that "I am not alone in my path."
Fortunately, there are still you who can make my persistence seem meaningful.
…
On July 21st, the Chinese men's basketball team will play its first game against Poland. Wang Zelin, who returned from the United States, naturally took the starting center position without hesitation.
The strongest member of the Polish men's basketball team is undoubtedly the white center Maxine Gortat, who averaged 15 points, 10 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game for the Phoenix Suns last season.
It's the Polish Hammer that the fan calls it!
As the 27th pick in the second round of the NBA, Gobot can achieve his current status. One can imagine the hard work he has put in behind the scenes.
But there is a saying that goes well: "The enemy's hero is my enemy!"
Putting aside everything else, the different positions of the two countries alone are enough for Wang Zelin to use all his strength to win this victory.
"With a rating of 77, he is really a good opponent."
Through the system space, Wang Zelin quickly learned about Gortat's strength and technical characteristics.
The advantage is that he has excellent movement, is good at pick-and-roll cuts, has mid-range shooting ability, and has good offensive ability.
The shortcomings are also obvious. His physical fitness is a flaw, otherwise he would not have been drafted in the middle of the second round.
This is a big man who relies on his skills, and his focus is on offense rather than defense. Wang Zelin is fully confident that he can defeat his opponent with his body.
The starting lineup of the Tianchao men's basketball team in this game: Wang Zelin, Yi Jianlian, Zhu Fangyu, Wang Shipeng, Chen Jianghua.
This lineup can already be regarded as the strongest five-man group in the current Tianchao men's basketball team.
Among them, Liu Wei and Zhu Fangyu have been veterans of the national team for nearly ten years, and this trip to London will also be their last time competing for their country in the Olympics.
As for Chen Jianghua, this trip to the London Olympics can be called his peak performance, and it is also his last afterglow.
Fortunately, Wang Zelin also discovered something unexpected.
"The host starts his national team career. Due to different FIBA rules, his ability will be re-rated..."
International competition ratings are as follows:
Name: Wang Zelin
Team: Tianchao National Men’s Basketball Team/NBA Portland Trail Blazers
Age:18
Position: Center
Height:216cm
Weight:130kg
...
Overall score: 84
Wang Zelin really didn't expect that the rating in the international arena was 9 points higher than that under NBA rules, ranging from 75 to 84, which was almost two levels higher.
Many abilities have been improved:
The long shot went from 62 to 68!
Internal defense changed from 68 to 80!
My blocks went from 58 to 70!
The rebounding ability has risen most exaggeratedly, directly from 65 to 85.
The sudden surge in strength gave him more confidence to face his opponents in the next Olympic Games.
After seeing his new rating under FIBA rules, Wang Zelin looked at his other teammates on the national team.
Wang Zhizhi: Rating 75…
Wang Shipeng: Rating 69…
Chen Jianghua: Rating 68…
Zhu Fangyu: Rating 67…
Liu Wei: Rating 66…
Ding Jinhui: Rating 65…
…
Sun Yue, rating 62
All the players of the Tianchao Men's Basketball Team were rated over 60 in international competitions, and those with the highest ratings were the best players in the London Olympics.
The one with the lowest rating is the former proud son Sun Yue.
But recalling Sun Yue's performance in the 2012 Olympics, Wang Zelin felt relieved.
Injuries and lack of self-discipline have made this once proud man gone forever.
What surprised him the most was Yi Jianlian's overall score.
Name: Yi Jianlian
Team: Tianchao Men’s Basketball National Team
Age:28
Position: Power Forward/Center
Height:213cm
Weight:114kg
…
Relying: 75 Layups: 90
Mid-range shot: 80 Long-range shot: 67
Dunks: 82
…
External defense: 45 Internal defense: 62
Rebounds: 90 Blocks: 64
…
Overall score:88
Talent skills (can only be awakened in international competitions)
①Terminator (Silver)
The movements are less likely to deform when performing layups or dunks, and can offset 10% of the hit rate interference caused by physical contact with opposing players.
②Marksman (Silver)
After receiving a pass from a teammate, the difficulty of shooting the shot will be reduced by 5% within 3 seconds.
…
Just kidding!
When he saw this, Wang Zelin couldn't believe what he was seeing. Yi Jianlian's ability under international rules was as high as 88, and he also had two innate skills, even though he was at the lowest Silver level.
Especially the first terminator skill, it is simply an inside skill, how nice it is for me...
But when he thought about it carefully, he felt inexplicably that the score of 88 might be too low.
When Yi Jianlian played in the CBA, he averaged 20+10 per game all year round, but it looked like this.
But when playing in international competitions, Yi Jianlian still often averages 20+10 per game~~~ Damn awesome!
In the final analysis, a player's ability can best be tested in the international arena.
There is a saying, Yi Jianlian's statistics in the international arena are definitely superstar level. Even if Yao Ming comes, he may not dare to say that he can beat him in terms of statistics.
In the World Championships two years ago, Yi Jianlian averaged 20 points and 10 rebounds per game. Not only did he win the rebounding title, he was also selected to the All-NBA Team. He was also the first player to average such data per game in the World Series.
Chinese players.
In this year's London Olympics, in the match against Spain, Yi Jianlian played his strongest game in the international arena.
30 points + 12 rebounds!
It was cut off on the heads of the Gasol brothers and Ibaka, the league's top interior defensive player.
In the post-Yao Ming era, Yi Jianlian is the most stable three-pointer, the most stable defensive gate, the most stable mid-range shooter, and the most stable inside attack point of the Chinese men's basketball team in the international arena. He is the starting point of all tactics.
It is also the end point.
I remember someone in later generations once said this: Fortunately we still have Yi Jianlian, but unfortunately we only have Yi Jianlian!
For Wang Zelin: He unfortunately came to the worst era of men's basketball, but he was lucky enough to meet the best Yi Jianlian!
