This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 276 Inspection Yi Jianlian

The All-Star Game is over, and the new journey has started again. As one of the important signings of the Charlotte Bobcats, Yi Jianlian is finally about to usher in the Charlotte Bobcats' debut. In fact, Yi Jianlian is now The Charlotte Bobcats have absolutely no less opportunities than the Atlanta Hawks because of functionality.

In addition to Yi Jianlian, the Charlotte Bobcats introduced three big players over seven feet this season, the drafted Roy Hibbert and the missed Patrick O'Bryant.

Roy Hibbert, who is currently performing well, will occupy a fifth position, and may even appear in the starting position. Patrick has fallen out of the rotation and is in the abandonment stage. Now comes Yi Jianlian, unless there is a big Area of ​​injury, otherwise he will hardly have any playing time.

compared to the former two.

Yi Jianlian's shooting attributes are unique. Zhou Lin, who has traveled from the small ball era, knows very well how popular a space-type inside line will be in the future. The position of the center will gradually become blurred, and a center player who can shoot outside is almost It is a must-have for every team, and it is entirely possible for Yi Jianlian to become such a high-quality space-based insider.

Gain weight, improve defense, and shoot from the outside!

Based on the NBA, or even become a team's starter is no problem at all.

And Yi Jianlian's training is also hard and hard enough. With Zhou Linneng's help, Yi Jianlian's NBA career may not end in a hurry.

Although Larry Brown is also optimistic about Yi Jianlian, the player's off-court training and on-court performance may not necessarily be equated. After all, the completion of technical movements and the adaptation of psychological quality in the case of confrontation are also unknown.

In the first game after the All-Star Game, the Charlotte Bobcats ushered in a team that mainly focused on the inside -- the Orlando Magic.

It's time for Yi Jianlian's inspection.

Although Yi Jianlian will come off the bench in this game, Larry Brown has made it clear that Yi Jianlian will play at least 20 minutes in this game.

With no injuries in the team's rotation and a stable structure, this is already a very good time for a new player.

In the face of the Orlando Magic, Okafor's fifth position has been repeatedly proved that it is not enough. In the semi-finals of the playoffs last season, he was completely blown away. Larry Brown's side Okafor was not allowed to play five, but Roy Hibbert took on the important responsibility of defending Yi Jianlian.

Zhou Lin, Brandon Roy, Mike Dunleavy, Emeka Okafor, and Roy Hibbert are the starting lineup for the Charlotte Bobcats.

And now the Orlando Magic have also encountered a wave of injuries this season, especially Jamal Nelson, who was selected as an All-Star this year, will miss many games, which also caused the Orlando Magic guard line to be slightly weaker. Some are in short supply, but in history, Jamal Nelson's role in this team is actually not that great. Even when he came back from the line of fire in the playoffs, he didn't achieve very good results. In a team with three big men as the core In the lineup, there is a small player like Jamal Nelson, which is a little bit inconsistent.

The real organization core of the Magic is in the hands of Turkoglu, so when Anthony Johnson, a 34-year-old veteran guard, entered this lineup as a point guard, he didn't have a strong sense of disobedience, because his The function is only to bring the ball across the half court to Warcraft or Turkoglu. The attack and organization of positional warfare basically do not use this old guard.

This season, Dwight Howard is also in the limelight. He was elected as the All-Star vote leader with the highest number of votes in history, defended his title in the dunk contest, and is also the rebound leader this season. It can be said that he is completely supporting the defense of the Magic team. system.

At the beginning of the game, Dwight Howard showed a very strong competitive state. In the first offensive round, the French player Pietrus, who was the shooting guard, shot out of the frame. Roy Hibbert, who was more than an inch, howard used the super fast bounce to grab the rebound and jumped up on the spot for the second time. He directly smashed the dunk and caused Roy Hibbert's defensive foul. Unfortunately, the extra penalty did not hit.

"Physical fitness is too perverted!"

Zhou Lin sighed from the bottom of his heart, no matter how many times he faced each other, Zhou Lin must admit that Warcraft's physical fitness is also at the historical level, although compared with those famous traditional centers in history, Howard, who is barely 2.1 meters tall, seems a bit small Only, but his bouncing speed in this position is definitely at the historical level.

On the Bobcats side, Brandon Roy singled out Anthony Johnson in the bottom corner and succeeded, helping the team to a 2-2 tie.

Brandon Roy is also in really good condition. If he hadn't come to the Charlotte Bobcats, this season would have been the same as in history, he should have been an All-Star player in the West, and he has been in college for four years The current Roy is three years older than Zhou Lin. Brandon Roy, who is now 24 years old, has also entered the first peak period of a player in terms of technology and physical condition, so there is such a It shows that Zhou Lin will not be too surprised, and Zhou Lin even feels that the current Brandon Roy, if he is in the East, can completely overwhelm him, and there is only Dwyane Wade alone.

The Orlando Magic's style of play is very rogue, that is, the big man directly covers. If there is a chance to play singles under the basket after the pick-and-roll, Warcraft will definitely eat the Bobcats inside. It’s the pass to the outside or a small part of the cut-in to get the ball, outside shooting, anyway, if you don’t hit it, just grab it. There is a reason why Warcraft can be crowned the rebounding leader. After all, Warcraft Howard takes most of the rebounds .

So for the Magic, basically the shooting distribution points are concentrated near the three-point line and under the basket. Less than 40% of the mid-range shots are the kind with relatively low output in this era, especially in this game when Sharard Lewis and Tate Koglu, on the premise that there is no clear advantage in the matchup, their opponents are Emeka Okafor and Zhou Lin respectively. Their height, tonnage and speed are not inferior to them. Lewis' post-up singles and fadeaway jumpers are also Basically gone.

As long as Warcraft Howard is inside, don’t be too cheerful when shooting outside. The two high forts this season have hit rates of 35.6% and 39.7% respectively. Among players who have taken more than two shots, they are all high hits. The rate, together, the two of them will make nearly five three-pointers from beyond the three-point line. Of course, it cannot be compared with the later Ku Ritian and the increasingly flooded pitchers, but in this era, they are also fierce. , plus their heights are placed there.

In the first quarter, the two brothers scored a three-pointer alone!

The Charlotte Bobcats originally wanted to speed up, but Roy Hibbert completely slowed down the tempo. Fortunately, Zhou Lin and Brandon Roy are both masters in attacking positions, even if they failed to defend The Orlando Magic's rogue style of play, but still can use offense to compete with the Orlando Magic.

Yi Jianlian's opportunity came a little earlier than expected. In the third and a half minutes of the game, Roy Hibbert was facing Howard's inside attack. A blocking foul directly made him need to go down early to calm down.

The appearance of Yi Jianlian, wearing the No. 9 jersey, attracted a lot of cheers. Although there are not many Chinese in Florida, where the Magic is located, there are still two Chinese faces on a team, which is still attractive. Many Chinese fans came to watch, and there were even Chinese supporters who drove for more than ten hours from other states.

"easy!"

Emeka Okafor called Yi Jianlian here, and he signaled Yi Jianlian to mark Lewis. He would defend Howard alone, and at the same time take necessary assistance.

"A Lian, pay attention to defending!"

Zhou Lin also reminded Yi Jianlian that under Larry Brown, if the defense is not good, the inside players are easy to abandon, just like Radmanovich, even if he has playing time in today's game It won't be long.

Whether it is in the international arena or in the NBA, Yi Jianlian has fought against Warcraft before, even if it is a head-to-head fight, he will not feel panicked.

The World of Warcraft has the feeling that it is completely going to kill the Quartet inside. After seeing the black meat shield Roy Hibbert, he has been beaten by himself, as if he is bullying his second place in the same class, Turkoglu The ball was given to Howard again, and Howard squeezed inside. While Okafor was retreating steadily, Yi Jianlian saw the right time, and when the latter turned over and hooked, he directly gave Howard a slap A big hat that covers the head and face, and it was Howard who touched it in the end.

"Hey!" Okafor yelled loudly, "Good job."

And Yi Jianlian's first statistic in the Bobcats was to give Warcraft Howard a big hat!
Looking back, Zhou Lin "rewarded" Yi Jianlian. After Yi Jianlian was about to reach his position, Zhou Lin would not ignore Yi Jianlian. He would give it to him immediately, and switch to Pietrus to top Yi Jianlian. This is a misplacement, Yi Jianlian's signature style After the shaking, he rushed in with the ball on the left side. Howard had just covered Yi Jianlian. He wanted to get back the field, so he jumped up and wanted to slap Yi Jianlian, but Yi Jianlian knew the power of Warcraft very well. First, we found a confrontation. Warcraft was fouled, Yi Jianlian was thrown to the ground, and four players from the Charlotte Bobcats went up to help him up. This also proved the team’s recognition of Yi Jianlian from one aspect. Of course This is also because the relationship between team boss Zhou Lin and fellow Yi Jianlian plays a role.

Made two free throws!

Yi Jianlian made a good start.

In the first quarter, Warcraft, who received his second foul too early, was also substituted.

The Charlotte Bobcats took a seven-point lead late in the first quarter and early in the second.

Yi Jianlian played 9 minutes in a row. Although he still only scored 2 points, he also had 3 rebounds and 1 block. In addition, the plus-minus value is currently the highest in the Charlotte Bobcats +11.

"Yi, well done!" Larry Brown came over and gave Yi Jianlian a high-five.

Although Yi Jianlian is not as talented as Zhou Lin, who can do almost everything, but Yi Jianliangui was the best candidate last year, and his attitude and efficiency on the field are obvious to all.

However, today's World of Warcraft does feel unstoppable. Although it was blocked by Yi Jianlian, after the second quarter, it scored consecutively on the heads of Yi Jianlian and Okafor.

At the end of the half, Howard had already scored 19 points and 6 rebounds. If it weren't for the two fouls in the first quarter, Howard would have given you a 20+10 double-double in the first half!

At the end of the second quarter, 51-49, the Charlotte Bobcats trailed by 2 points.

"Yi, you have to try to attack more, you have an advantage in your position, your shooting, your offensive footsteps, your athletic ability, you have to release them all to your heart's content!"

It is rare for Larry Brown, who likes setback education, to give such encouragement to a new player.

Larry Brown is an angry coach, a bit dogmatic, and a bit egotistical. He doesn't like the kind of face that is aggressive or looks dumb, and Yi Jianlian, who is restrained by nature but not low in golf IQ, is a bit of a load puller. Lee Brown's Appetite.

Sure enough, after the opening of the second half, Roy Hibbert only played for less than 4 minutes, because he received a third foul. Of course, this foul can be allowed, after all, half of the time has passed, and The Bobcats have enough rotation inside, but Larry Brown believes that Roy Hibbert should not make the same mistakes in a row and be replaced by Yi Jianlian directly.

"Seize the opportunity, Ah Lian!"

Zhou Lin didn't expect Larry Brown to be so generous and replace Yi Jianlian so early. It seems that he intends to put a burden on Yi Jianlian. Yi Jianlian has played for nearly 12 minutes in the first half. , only 2 minutes less than the starter Hibbert, and he was replaced so early in the second half. In this game, I am afraid that Yi Jianlian may be able to play more than the expected 20 minutes, and may reach about 25 minutes.

The substitute can play 25 minutes, which can basically be said to be the real sixth man role in the team.

And Zhou Lin also believes that in many cases, Yi Jianlian should be able to replace Roy Hibbert. Of course, Roy Hibbert is also very good, but the shooting area is slightly short and there is little room for development.

In the third quarter, Yi Jianlian finally demonstrated a skill that several other insiders cannot possess-high jumper.

With Zhou Lin and Roy here, in fact, the Magic must compress the defensive line, and the big men who can shoot from the outside are easy to get a chance. Often no one shoots this kind of ball in the first place, Oka There are not many Futou, let alone the other two insiders.

And Yi Jianlian even hit two high jumpers in this quarter.

"Trees move to death, people move to live. No one in the Eagles passes the ball to Ah Lian like this. It seems that Yi Jianlian came to the Bobcats at the right time!"

Domestic commentators were also happy for Yi Jianlian when they saw these pictures.
