NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers

Cleveland, inside the Cavaliers' practice facility.

Long Rui is doing strength training, which is what he pays most attention to now.

As a defender, he needs to use his breakthrough to create damage inside from time to time.

Therefore, strength is absolutely indispensable to him.

And Xiao Mo and others are also doing their own training, each of them chooses a different training method according to their needs.

At this moment, a tall figure walked up to the gate of the venue, it was Yi Jianlian.

His arrival caught the attention of Cavaliers players.

"Who is this?"

Jamison asked, frowning.

Because Yi Jianlian is not the main force of the team, he is naturally not well-known, so it is normal that many players do not know him.

Even if they met a few times in the game, they would not be particularly impressed.

"It looks like a Chinese player."

Varejao also echoed.

Xiao Mo on the side looked up, and even recognized Yi Jianlian. After all, they had played for the Bucks together.

"Yi? Why are you here?"

Xiao Mo was slightly surprised.

"Do you know?"

Jamison asked.

Xiao Mo nodded immediately: "When I was in the Bucks, Yi was my teammate."

"Hello everyone!"

Yi Jianlian also greeted them very politely.

Then he looked into the arena, as if looking for something.

When he saw a figure who was practicing hard, he was overjoyed.

"Long Rui! Here I come!"

Originally, Long Rui was devoting himself to training his core strength, but when he heard this voice, he immediately raised his head.

"Alian!"

Long Rui put down the equipment in his hand and walked towards him.

"Welcome to Knights!"

Then Long Rui called all his teammates over and introduced, "Everyone, Yi will be our teammate from now on!"

As soon as this remark came out, a hint of surprise appeared in the eyes of some players. Many of them did not know Yi Jianlian.

There are only two situations like this, one is a rookie who has just entered the league, and the other is a marginal figure in the league.

Yi Jianlian doesn't look like a rookie, so obviously, he belongs to the latter.

This is why many people don't quite understand that even if the team doesn't want to be strong, they will not choose such marginal players.

The only possibility is that this is Long Rui's decision. After all, Yi Jianlian is also a Chinese player, so there is no need to talk about the relationship.

Many people know it in their hearts, and they won't say it out loud, at most discussing it in private.

After everyone greeted each other, they dispersed and continued to complete their own training.

Long Rui brought Ah Lian to Byron Scott.

"Coach, this is Yi, he will become an important member of the team in the future!"

Long Rui said with certainty.

Yi Jianlian on the side was slightly taken aback when he heard these words.

An important member?Does Long Rui still want him to start?
Byron Scott also looked at Yi Jianlian, but he really couldn't think of such a person in the league.

"What will he order?"

Byron Scott couldn't help asking.

He spoke very bluntly. Since Long Rui had said these words, Yi Jianlian had to show his abilities.

Yi Jianlian looked at Long Rui, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

What will you order?He actually knows a lot, but he has not been able to show it on the NBA battlefield.

Long Rui smiled slightly and said to Scott, "He is the most versatile big man in this league."

"Coach, if you notice the way Nowitzki plays, you'll know how good Yi is!"

When Long Rui compared Yi Jianlian to Nowitzki, Byron Scott was also taken aback.

What are you kidding?What kind of character is Nowitzki?That can be regarded as the best foreign player.

In terms of the comprehensiveness of technology, few people in the league can compare with it.

"you sure?"

Scott expressed doubts.

If it was as Long Rui said, it was impossible for him not to have heard of Yi Jianlian's name. This was obviously an exaggeration of Long Rui's words, and it was an exaggeration too much!
Long Rui nodded seriously: "As long as you give him a chance, I believe he can perform well on the court."

As a time traveler, Long Rui is well aware of Yi Jianlian's abilities. His playing style fits perfectly with the future small ball era, but he was born at the wrong time.

Scott nodded suspiciously: "No matter how much you say, it's better to show it first."

As he said that, Scott took a basketball and stuffed it into Yi Jianlian's hand: "Big man, since Long Rui praises you so much, you should show off your skills."

At this moment, Yi Jianlian was actually a little flustered.

Since he entered the league in 07, he has not played his own strength.

Now that Long Rui said that, he would inevitably feel a little nervous.

"Long Rui patted him on the back, relax, don't be nervous, let's start with the three-pointer!"

Long Rui knew that Yi Jianlian had a good three-point shooting ability, which was the most important reason why he asked the general manager of the team to exchange for Yi Jianlian.

Because he wants to lead the league into the small ball era ahead of schedule!
