I just want to play healthy basketball

Chapter 305 Personal advice, warm-up match
"First-class talent, low-level technology.

Ah Lian, you have to practice and still have a lot to learn, but this does not prevent you from being really good.

Come practice with me in the next few days, don't worry about the rest, let me help you improve your strength. "

Before Yi Jianlian's physical test, He Li knew how good Yi Jianlian's talent was.

Sure enough, after seeing Yi Jianlian's talent, He Li was also quite moved.

He Li blessed the templates one by one to have the physical talent he has today.

And Yi Jianlian is original, relying on his own blind practice, he is almost [-]% to [-]% of He Li's strength when he participated in the draft.

In fact, this is already outrageous.

"Ah Lian is lucky, He Li is willing to end the game himself and teach him by hand."

"Among other things, He Li has brought out several NBA All-Stars. He Li not only has a high level of training, but also teaches others! Now it seems that the United Arab Emirates is not far from becoming a star."

"Although Ah Lian is the younger brother, he looks a little taller than He Li, but he is too thin. Standing next to He Li, he is just a follower. But Ah Lian's talent is really outstanding, no wonder He Li will take a fancy to him."

When the other players of the men's basketball team heard that He Li wanted to give advice to Yi Jianlian and lead Yi Jianlian to train, they were indescribably envious and jealous. As for whether there was any hatred, it is unknown.

At this time, Wang Fei, the team leader of the men's basketball team, heard what He Li said, and immediately stood up and said: "In this case, Yi Jianlian, you can train with He Li. The rest will be arranged by He Li. You can let the training match and so on first."

Yi Jianlian wanted to express something, but it was the first time he saw a legendary figure like He Li, and he was frightened by He Li's aura, and because he was still a stuffy character, he didn't say anything, just looked at He Li, and kept nodding.

When He Li took Yi Jianlian to find Harris, the head coach of the men's basketball team, to explain the current situation a little bit, Yi Jianlian followed He Li before chatting with He Li.

"Brother Li, I didn't expect you to find me as soon as you came.

Well, I was still in the youth training team before, brother Li, how did you know about me.

I... Before I came, I thought I was just making up the numbers.

I'm really flattered that Brother Li attaches so much importance to me today. "

He Li smiled when he heard this, then slowed down his walking speed, retreated to Yi Jianlian's side, and patted Yi Jianlian's shoulder.

"Don't be nervous, relax, I don't eat people.

Let me tell you clearly, when I led the team to the World Championships last year, I observed the domestic youth teams.

I observe the situation of the youth training, mainly because there are no helpers besides Yao Ming.

You may be surprised, Battelle is my former teammate, and I helped solve Wang Zhizhi's problem.

Can't these two be my helpers?I'll tell you the truth, they're not good enough, really. "

"So, with no one available, I favored other players who were younger than them.

Then, I found you.

I found that you, like me, are playing the power forward position, and you are also suitable for playing power forward.

You're talented like me, but you don't have the experience I have playing in America.

When you were growing up, you didn't have access to good education and training. I just mean basketball.

So, I want to help fill this one up so that you can help me someday. "

In front of Yi Jianlian, He Li explained his reasons clearly.

But Yi Jianlian still can't believe it. In his opinion, Battelle and Wang Zhizhi are already the top players in China, and such players are also among the top players in the international league.

"I can't do it? Brother Li, do you think too highly of me?
Brother Ba and Da Da are so strong, you feel unqualified, then me, can I really do it?
It would be a great honor if I could help Brother Li. "

Yi Jianlian said so.

He Li smiled when he heard this: "Do you know the God of War Liu Yudong? And do you know his performance in international competitions?"

"He is a god of war domestically, but nothing internationally.

Injury or something can't be used as an excuse. In the final analysis, he is still not strong enough.

The real reason for his lack of strength is that he is a power forward less than 2 meters.

In international competitions, the inside is king, and the inside players are basically 2 meters tall.

Liu Yudong is very powerful in the country, and he is excellent in sudden investment.

But in the international competition, due to the great height disadvantage and the intensified physical confrontation, the original elite shooting became very unstable, and the result was a mess. "

"Basketball is a big man's game, there's no denying that.

It is also a fact that the closer to the basket, the higher the shooting percentage.

In international competitions, zone defense is available, and there is no three-second zone. With zone defense, outside breakthroughs are difficult to work.

Then the rest, the fight is the ability to attack inside and the ability to shoot outside.

However, there is a class of people who can have both inside offensive ability and outside shooting ability.

That is, people like me! "

Yi Jianlian was listening carefully, wondering why Liu Yudong was an expert in civil wars but an outsider in foreign wars, but He Li suddenly boasted.

"Of course you are the same. We have the height of the inside, and we can have the strength of the inside through training.

Our height advantage allows us to have more opportunities to attack inside and guard more rebounds.

However, we have the speed and quickness of a small forward and the shooting ability of a guard.

At the same time, our height will also have a great advantage on the perimeter.

We shoot jumpers from the outside and can ignore the defense of small guards.

As long as we are accurate enough, we are a huge threat on the perimeter.

When we have a lot of shooting threats, we can create opportunities for teammates.

At that time, when we add two and two together, the advantage will be great.

When there is a big center like Yao Ming under the basket, our advantage will be infinite. "

He Li quickly added, including Yi Jianlian.

Only then did Yi Jianlian understand why He Li had chosen him out of so many people.

Liu Yudong is limited in size. In international competitions, he is not very competitive. Even his good shooting is unstable due to zone defense and physical confrontation.

However, Yi Jianlian does not have this problem.

Yi Jianlian has a standard inside body, but also has the speed and agility of a small forward.

Now Yi Jianlian has not gained much muscle or weight, and he has an advantage in speed.

Once Yi Jianlian has improved his strength and practiced shooting, he can quickly transform it into immediate combat power and help He Li effectively open up space.

"Train with me first, you need to practice your strength, first develop your upper body strength.

In the afternoon, I will ask my trainer to teach you Pilates and help you practice your core strength.

After you get used to these two exercises, I will personally teach you how to pick and roll in actual combat.

I like your talent, besides your height and speed, you also have your jumping ability.

When the two of us are on the pick-and-roll, you can do what Karl Malone did, and you can roll right off the screen for me.

Once the opponent double-teams me, I will pass the ball to you. At this time, you will jump directly to the basket and get 2 points easily!
This is exactly what Yao Ming, Battelle, and Wang Zhizhi cannot do, but you can do. "

He Li pointed out a clear way for Yi Jianlian. Even if his basic skills are not good enough and he is not very good at shooting, as long as he develops his strength, he can make his body stronger.

Yi Jianlian can rely on his excellent running and jumping talents, cooperate with He Li in pick-and-rolls, and rely on He Li's shooting threat to eat cakes.

Don't think that it is easy to eat cakes along the pick-and-roll.

In the NBA, it happens from time to time for wing players to cut and eat cakes, and to eat cakes along the way.

But that's because of the existence of the three-second zone, and defensive players usually don't stand in the three-second zone.

Once the wing player cuts to the basket and the defensive player reacts slower or walks slower, he will be unable to defend.

However, there is no three-second zone in international competitions, and the zone defense is legal. In addition, inside players are good at squatting defense, and the basket is usually crowded with people. It is difficult for general wing players to get the opportunity to go down and eat cakes, so they usually do not have this ability.

However, if the team's lineup is reasonable and the threat of outside shooting is quite large, then the defense of the inside will be self-defeating.

The Chinese men's basketball team does not have any outstanding defenders, but this does not mean that the outside shooting ability is insufficient.

When He Li stands on the outside, other teams must pay attention to it. Once Yao Ming comes out from the inside, the outside shooting power of the Chinese men's basketball team will become very fierce.

To be honest, with Battelle and Wang Zhizhi present, the Chinese men's basketball team does not lack Yao Ming as a big center.

And once Yao Ming's outside shooting firepower complements that of He Li, and Yi Jianlian plays a pick-and-roll with He Li at this time to find loopholes in the opponent's defense, then Yi Jianlian's air cut will quickly break through the opponent's defense.

Of course, the current Chinese men's basketball team, even without Yi Jianlian, has no problem on the offensive end.

The Chinese men's basketball team has always had problems in defense in international competitions.

Due to the low competitive intensity and confrontation intensity of the CBA, domestic players' internal and external defense levels are not high.

Even though Yao Ming, Battelle, and Wang Zhizhi have played in the NBA for a period of time, they still cannot be changed. They are all players with strong offense and weak defense.

And the dream team can call the wind and rain in international competitions, relying on their tough and iron-blooded defense.

As for why the dream team can score high points, the main reason is to defend and counterattack, with more fast breaks.

Once the defense of the dream team is gone, it will be bullied by a large group of NBA substitutes and bench players from other national teams.

On the contrary, a group of star-studded NBA stars will be humiliated by others just because of their gorgeous offense.

If the Chinese men's basketball team wants to achieve something in this Olympic Games, they must work hard on the defensive end.

But improving defense does not happen overnight, nor can it be done by one person.

The establishment and formation of a defensive system often takes more time than the offensive system.

However, He Li doesn't have this patience, and the Olympics are just over a month away, so the defense can be emphasized, but there is no need to hold on to it.

Then, the thing that can sharpen the gun before the battle is the offense.

Before coming here, He Li had carefully considered how to improve the strength of the Chinese men's basketball team.

After much deliberation, it is better to treat the dead horse as a living horse doctor, to see if he can bring Ah Lian out.

Regardless of any game, the shooting percentage at the basket is always higher than the mid-range and long-range shots.

The Chinese men's basketball team has the ability to stably output at the basket, except for He Li, Yao Ming is the only one.

However, He Li can help Yi Jianlian possess such abilities.

Yi Jianlian can't dribble now, and his footwork and offensive methods at the basket are not rich enough.

But it's not a big problem. With Yi Jianlian's physical talent, as long as his upper body strength and core strength are improved, the problem of eating cakes under the basket is still not a big problem.

In this way, issues such as breakthrough with the ball and autonomous offense at the basket can be ignored.

And as Yi Jianlian continues to practice, four years later, with Yi Jianlian's perseverance and self-discipline, he should have developed basic skills such as dribbling, footwork around the basket, and low-post singles.

At that time, He Li may really be able to bring the prosperous Chinese men's basketball team to fight against the dream team for real.

Of course, while cultivating Yi Jianlian, it is also necessary to persuade Yao Ming not to gain weight so quickly.

Closer to home.

Time soon came to July 7. The Chinese men's basketball team and the two summer league teams from Dallas finally had a warm-up match.

In the first game, neither He Li nor Yao Ming played, and Yi Jianlian played for a while, but because he was a junior, he didn't get many chances to play.

Yi Jianlian played 7 minutes, 2 of 1 shots, 1 rebound, and 1 foul, which is quite satisfactory.

The Chinese men's basketball team is led by two veteran players, Battelle and Wang Zhizhi.

As a result, a summer league team composed of Mavericks bench players and rookies was beaten by 16 points.The game ended 74-90.

The defeat in the first game was actually expected.

In the warm-up match before coming to the United States, the Chinese men's basketball team failed to win the warm-up match without the four players. If there were two more NBA substitutes, Battelle and Wang Zhizhi, it would be understandable for them not to win the warm-up match.

Only He Li and Yao Ming can really help the Chinese men's basketball team to be reborn.

As for the disastrous loss to the summer league team, there is nothing bad about it.

From the perspective of domestic players and basketball practitioners, the level of the United States is indeed higher than that of China.

Now that the game is lost, you should accept it with humility, and then redouble your efforts to train, so that the stupid bird will fly first and catch up.

It is said that after the defeat in the first game, the Chinese men's basketball team held a collective meeting, and He Li and Yao Ming also participated.

Because in the United States, everything is kept simple and Harris leads the team, so there was not much official language at the meeting, and no players were named and criticized.

With the help of a translator, Harris emphasized the importance of defense to the men's basketball players, and then tried to help the Chinese men's basketball team establish an effective defensive system, but judging from the results of the subsequent training and warm-up games, it was not good.

It wasn't until the third warm-up match, when Yao Ming was off, that the Chinese men's basketball team really experienced a qualitative change in the warm-up match.

Yao Ming didn't talk about his football ethics in the warm-up match. The All-Star center bullied the Mavericks' rookies and substitute players. In 31 minutes of the game, he scored 24 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks, leading the team to a narrow victory by 2 points.

emmm, a little speechless.

Anyway, He Li was a little speechless, it was just a warm-up match, and it was originally used for training and grinding the lineup.

Yao Ming played in all four quarters, but rookies like Yi Jianlian, Sun Yue, Zhu Fangyu sat on the sidelines.

What kind of military training is this.

However, within a few days of He Li complaining, he soon had to be ordered to lead the team to play.

"Let Ah Lian play with me, and let you see the effect of our training."

With the help of He Li, Yi Jianlian gained 4 catties in less than two weeks, although the real muscle may only have gained more than a catty.

But the muscles of Yi Jianlian's arms and waist are more obvious than before.

Moreover, Yi Jianlian's bench press has been strenuous since the beginning of 60 kg, and now he can push 85 bench presses of 3 kg.

Presumably, if he continues to train persistently, Yi Jianlian's upper body strength will be very advantageous in China.

After Yi Jianlian has made his name in the CBA earlier, He Li can also operate Yi Jianlian earlier to help him enter the NBA to play early, so as not to waste time and talent.
