Super all-around point guard

Chapter 703 Help Ah Lian break the scoring record!

After being away from the NBA for four years, Yi Jianlian finally scored again in the NBA!
And the first score after the return immediately ignited the scene and all the Chinese fans. Yi Jianlian first completed a domineering cap grab on the defensive end, and then staged a showtime dunk with Xie Chen at the Staples Center!
This ball can be included in today's top ten goals. Whether it is the wonderfulness of the action itself or Yi Jianlian's personal significance, there is no pickiness. The only suspense is whether it will be ranked first by the official or other positions. You must know that after Wang Zhizhi joined the NBA Mavericks, he was selected as the top ten shots of the day for just a very ordinary mid-range shot. The reason is simple. It was Wang Zhizhi's first score in the NBA.

"A Lian! We owe you an apology!"

On the Internet and in front of the TV, many Chinese fans have tears in their eyes. Before the United Arab Emirates did not reach the height of Yao Ming, many fans ruthlessly criticized and satirized Yi Jianlian. They did not regret it until the NBA completely lost Chinese players. Now it is a kind of pride to see Chinese players shine in the NBA.

For Yi Jianlian, after scoring for the first time, the psychological pressure was much less, and the whole person looked lighter and relaxed, which was more conducive to Yi Jianlian to play his normal level.

However, Yi Jianlian suddenly replaced Mozgov. One of the problems he had to face was how to defend Anthony Davis, the hottest insider in the league. The year Davis was selected as the No.

Since entering the NBA, Davis has been pulled to play power forward to avoid too much physical confrontation at the center position. Soon, four years later, he is still playing power forward.

Anthony Davis has a very terrifying wingspan, as long as [-] meters. Whether it is offense or defense, he poses a great threat to opponents. It is not easy for Yi Jianlian to defend against Davis.

Soon, Davis was on the line to pick and roll his teammates, then immediately rolled down, received the pass and took off directly, dunking into the frame with both hands!
Yi Jianlian also tried to block the shot, but Davis had already charged up. Coupled with Davis's bounce and wingspan, it was not so easy to block the block, so it was unsuccessful.

Davis's alley-oop dunks can always ignite the morale of the Pelicans, and the Pelicans' bench is also boiling.

Not long after, Anthony Davis hit Yi Jianlian again after catching the ball inside. The two fought almost hand-to-hand, and the physical confrontation was very fierce. Davis may have been confident in facing the yellow player, just like Luol Deng's fast break.

However, it was obvious that Davis was more offensive, and Yi Jianlian was somewhat affected by two fouls. This time, Brother Nongmei won again and scored another one-handed dunk on Yi Jianlian.

Many netizens sighed: "Yi Jianlian hasn't played an NBA game for so long, and it's a bit unlucky to face a monster like Anthony Davis in the first game."

No one thinks that Yi Jianlian is weak, but everyone thinks that Anthony Davis is too strong. Before Xie Chen appeared, everyone thought that Anthony Davis was the future NBA No. 1. However, given that Xie Chen and Anthony Davis are about the same age, Anthony Davis can only compete for second place in many years.

Anthony Davis didn’t really start using his body in the paint mode until this season, because when he entered the NBA, he was still very young and his body was still developing. He was afraid of being injured by the bad guys in the league. Unlike O’Neal, he directly turned on the body in the paint mode in the first year of entering the league.

Davis has to miss more than a dozen games every season, and even missed 21 games last season. I hope that after more confrontation in the interior this season, he will not be injured.

Anthony Davis hit Yi Jianlian twice in a row, which made Xie Chen a little bit uncomfortable. Due to the different positions of the two, Xie Chen could not directly respond to the thick eyebrows, so this time, he passed the ball to Yi Jianlian again.

Yi Jianlian was holding the ball in a low position on the right side of the basket, and Anthony Davis also defended him. He felt that the most likely way for Yi Jianlian to score was a jump shot, but before Yi Jianlian could make a move, Xie Chen immediately got rid of the defender and went straight to the basket.

"Oops!" Anthony Davis immediately realized that this attack was not made by Yi Jianlian, but by Xie Chen. Sure enough, when Yi Jianlian saw that Xie Chen wanted the ball, he immediately passed the ball.

"Don't even think about completing the lob!" Anthony Davis hurriedly turned around and rushed to the basket to block the shot.

At this time, Xie Chen had just received the ball in the air. With his speed and bounce, Xie Chen could complete the attack before Anthony Davis blocked the shot, but after getting the ball, Xie Chen quickly threw it to the right rear.

"Pass the ball from behind! This is the direction of the UAE!" Yu Jia was very excited.

I saw Yi Jianlian descending from the sky, jumped up with the greatest strength, and then received the pass in the air with one hand, and poured the ball hard to the basket!

Across Anthony Davis' body!
boom!
"Double! Ah Lian dunked Anthony Davis!!" Yu Jia exclaimed.

Zhang Weiping also laughed and said, "Good shot! Another dunk and another alley-oop. This time, it was a dunk through Anthony Davis. It was really not easy. In just a few minutes, these two goals, I think, are more beautiful than any previous goal in the NBA. Xie Chen is really good. The pass is really good. Fortunately, the UAE reacted quickly and knew that the ball was for him. I don't know why, but the Lakers' ball this year feels particularly good!"

"Hahaha, I knew that Xie Chen would take Ah Lian to pretend to fly together! If the Lakers didn't have Xie Chen, who would have imagined that Ah Lian would have a day with Big Eyebrow?"

Anthony Davis looked embarrassed after being dunked. He was cheated by Xie Chen for the ball, and he didn't expect Yi Jianlian's physical talent to be so powerful. He really underestimated him.

Anthony Davis really wanted to save face and buckled Yi Jianlian again, but his body was not as domineering as O'Neal's, and he couldn't destroy Yi Jianlian's defense at all. Although he had a pair of long arms, Yi Jianlian was rewarded with a hat for this attack!

Two blocks, two dunks!Yi Jianlian's comeback debut performance is gratifying!

But this was just the beginning. Xie Chen then passed a pass to Yi Jianlian who had just arrived at the three-point line. Yi Jianlian didn't hesitate, just like Xie Chen told him before, to attack boldly, so he pulled up and shot.

Three-pointer!

"Damn it! Yi has the ability to shoot three-pointers!" Pelicans coach Gentry lamented. He knew a little about Yi Jianlian and watched Yi Jianlian's performance in the Olympic Games.

Yu Jia said excitedly: "Yi Jianlian has seven points! There are two blocks! This is really beyond our expectations. Now the first quarter is not over. Director Zhang, we still don't know about Mozgov's injury. If the UAE can continue to perform like this, can he replace Mozgov as the Lakers' starter?"

Zhang Weiping said: "He may be the starter, but he does not overlap with Mozgov, and his role in the team is also different. Yi Jianlian is more flexible and has three-pointers. Mozgov is slow and does not have three-pointers, but he has good physical skills and can hit the basket. Yi Jianlian can become one of the five small lineups of the Lakers, just like the five small players of the Warriors back then."

Yu Jia nodded: "If Wharton really wants to copy the Warriors' five-minor lineup, Yi Jianlian is definitely the most suitable one. But among the Warriors' five minors, Dream Chaser Green is very important. I think it is very difficult for Alian to become a player like Green. Green can pass, move, shoot, defend, and rebound. The players should be barely able, but compared with the Warriors' five minors, there is not only a gap in the Arab League, but also a gap in other shooters. The Warriors have three unsolvable shooters and a defensive champion, while the Lakers have only one unsolvable shooter. Similarly, Ingram also needs to grow."

"That's right, there is still a big gap compared with the Warriors, but don't forget that the Lakers have Xie Chen, he can make a mediocre team play an extraordinary game, as long as the UAE continues to improve, I think there will be a place for him in the playoffs." Zhang Weiping said.

The contract between Yi Jianlian and the Lakers is a bit special. The bonus he can receive with the Lakers depends on the number of games he plays. When he plays 20 games, 40 games, and 59 games, he can trigger the bonus clause in the contract. If he plays more than 59 games, he can receive the full bonus of 686 million. The initiative of this contract is entirely in the hands of the Lakers. In the eyes of many players, this is even an unacceptable contract. people.

The Lakers have been in contact with Yi Jianlian for two consecutive years, and they are absolutely sincere, so they will not deliberately control the number of games Yi Jianlian plays in order to give Yi Jianlian less money.

In fact, whether it is Yi Jianlian or the Lakers, they don't care about this clause. Yi Jianlian cares most about whether he can play in the NBA, and the Lakers care about this too.

So even though the UAE has missed so many games due to injury, he doesn't worry about money at all. If he can't achieve the results he wants in the NBA, even if he receives all the bonuses, he will not be happy.

The most important thing for Yi Jianlian is to gain a firm foothold in the Lakers and find his own position. Judging from his current performance, Wharton actually has high hopes for Yi Jianlian.

Many people worry that Yi Jianlian's performance will be anticlimactic, but with Xie Chen as his teammate, there is no need to have this concern at all. Xie Chen is the best point guard in the league. Apart from scoring himself, he is best at helping his teammates score. Last season, he even helped Porzingis score 50+ points in a single game, which even Karl Downs of the Timberwolves can't match.

With the help of Xie Chen, Yi Jianlian scored 17 points in halftime!And his opponent Anthony Davis only had 15 points, not as good as Yi Jianlian.

During the half-time break, everyone looked at Mozgov. His injury was not serious, and he would recover after a few days of recuperation. However, Coach Wharton seemed to let Mozgov rest for a few more days on purpose, and did not intend to make Mozgov come back in a hurry.

Since the Lakers have always led the score, winning this game will be a high probability event, and everyone is also very relaxed and chatting.

Xie Chen suddenly asked, "Yi, what's your highest score in the NBA?"

Yi Jianlian was stunned for a moment, and replied: "It seems to be 31 points."

"It's only 31 points? Now it's only 14 points away. How about we help you break your record for the highest score in a single game today?" Xie Chen suddenly wanted to help Yi Jianlian break his personal scoring record in the NBA.

Yi Jianlian was as humble and shy as ever: "Oh, no, my score is not important, as long as I can help the team."

Xie Chen said: "You have already helped the team, aren't we already leading by a big score?"

Ingram also said: "Yeah, Yi, don't be embarrassed. Xie and other teammates have also achieved me on the court. We are a team and we always achieve each other, aren't we? Today is the big day for you to return to the NBA after four years. Let us make a big news and let the opponents in the league know that although we injured an insider, we have a new and more terrifying insider!"

Coach Wharton knew that Yi Jianlian was a very disciplined player. If this seemingly selfish behavior was not allowed by the team coach, he would never dare to let it go. Wharton has always supported Xie Chen's proposition [-]%, so Wharton also said: "That's right, Yi, do it boldly and let them know that our Lakers have become stronger again. You will be a very important role in the Lakers lineup. Perform well and don't let us down."

Yi Jianlian looked at Xie Chen, the coach and his teammates excitedly. In his previous NBA career, he had never experienced such a touching moment. Yi Jianlian nodded and replied: "Thank you, I will definitely not let everyone down!"
