Chapter 462 Meet Yi Jianlian Again

Although the annual entertainment star competition is not as exciting as the individual competition and the main competition, it also gathers big names.

In addition to the stars on the field, the audience on the sidelines is also star-studded, and many big-name Hollywood stars will come to the sidelines to watch the game.

Many national leaders who love sports will also participate in the All-Star Weekend as spectators.

This year's All-Star Entertainment Game invited many popular stars to participate. Bieber, Nixon, Robert and others were all invited to participate. At the same time, the league invited some wnba players, Parker, Smith, etc., to form a mixed team of entertainment stars + basketball legends with the stars, which greatly enhanced the enjoyment of the entertainment game.

For Chinese fans, this year's All-Star Game is a feast for the eyes, because the retired former national team core Yi Jianlian was also invited to participate in this game.

As a member of the national team, Yi Jianlian has played an important role in the development of Chinese basketball. He was selected by the Milwaukee Bucks with the sixth overall pick in the first round in 2006, and has since started his NBA career.

However, Yi Jianlian in the NBA is not as good as in the CBA. After all, in a league with black players as the core, it is difficult for Yi Jianlian to be reused. Although his personal ability has been greatly reflected in the national team, most NBA teams still rely on black players and the cornerstone of the team, which makes Yi Jianlian's NBA career a little bleak and drifting.

Although his development in the NBA was not smooth, Yi Jianlian played a core role in the national team. Especially after Yao Ming retired, Yi Jianlian supported the future of Chinese basketball and led the team to achieve good results.

No matter how strong a player is, he can't stand the age after all. After experiencing a ruptured Achilles tendon, Yi Jianlian never returned to the top. Forced to helplessness, he chose to retire.

After retiring, Yi Jianlian did not leave basketball, and continued to work hard for Chinese basketball in another capacity.

The NBA even made Yi Jianlian, who had been away from the NBA for a long time, return to everyone's vision in this season's All-Star Game. The hero who carried the Chinese basketball forward is back.

In the All-Star Game, Yi Jianlian specially chose the "9" jersey. This is the jersey he wore when he first entered the NBA. Although he moved to many teams later, he almost always wore this number. This "return" wears the "9" again, which makes people dream back to the past.

Back then, Yi Jianlian was fighting on the court wearing the No. 9 jersey.

Today, there is also a Chinese player who also wears the number "9" and is aiming for the championship.

Mu Chenfeng and Yi Jianlian met.

This is not the first time the two have met. The last time was in a national competition, when Mu Chenfeng was playing on the court and Yi Jianlian was watching as a spectator.

This time, the roles of the two were switched, and Mu Chenfeng looked at his senior from the sidelines.

"You're doing well in the NBA." Yi Jianlian looked at Mu Chenfeng at this time with envy all over his face. Yi Jianlian knew exactly what this young man had done in the NBA. He was walking on the road that he hadn't finished.

"Thank you, senior." Yi Jianlian, who is nearly 50 years old, really deserves this senior, and he is already so old before he knows it.

Mu Chenfeng has never seen Yi Jianlian play, only heard that he is very good, and finally had the opportunity to see him today.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Yi Jianlian returned to the field. As the absolute height in the entertainment game, he successfully took on the important task of jumping the ball for the red team. Standing in front of him and jumping the ball with him was WNBA star Parker. The two are both professional players and have achieved outstanding results in their respective fields.

However, Parker is a female player after all, and he is obviously not Yi Jianlian's opponent in terms of bounce speed and reaction. Although Yi Jianlian is almost 50 years old, his playing movements are still sharp. He touched the basketball before Parker and gave the ball to his defender.

Yi Jianlian is really young. The height of this jump ball is admirable. Even in today's professional league, players dare not be 100% sure that they can beat him.

The feature of the All-Star Game is still entertainment. Although most of the players are amateurs, they really dare to show off. They dare to use all kinds of moves. However, due to their lack of skills, they lead to basketball out-of-bounds mistakes.

When the mistake came, the audience roared with laughter, and the player who made the mistake smiled awkwardly.

The reason why professional players and entertainment stars are used in entertainment games is to improve the communication between the two parties on the one hand, and on the other hand, professional players can make the scene of the game more beautiful.

The red team had Yi Jianlian guarding the basket, and the restricted area became a no-fly zone. The offensive players of the blue team passed the ball to Bieber after a little rusty cooperation, and Bieber broke through the restricted area with the ball. This was obviously not a wise choice.

However, Bieber insisted on challenging Yi Jianlian.

As soon as the basketball left his hands, Yi Jianlian stopped him with both hands, and he grabbed the cap with both hands cleanly. What's even more insulting is that Yi Jianlian didn't jump at all. The absolute advantage of his height helped him easily complete the block.

This goal made Bieber completely dumbfounded. Sure enough, there is still a huge gap between himself and professional players. The 50-year-old Yi Jianlian can still easily beat himself.

Yi Jianlian's speed and physical fitness have declined with age, but his awareness and vision on the court have not deteriorated too much. After seeing his teammates rushing down, Yi Jianlian sent a long pass across the court, assisting his teammates to score an easy layup.

Judging from the beginning, inviting Yi Jianlian is the most correct decision made by the NBA.

In the first 3 minutes, Yi Jianlian earned enough attention.

"Oh!" Mu Chenfeng was overwhelmed by Yi Jianlian's performance. He stood up and gave Yi Jianlian a high-five.

Yi Jianlian completely dominated both offense and defense, and the blue team had no way to restrain him. When he got excited, Yi Jianlian pulled out from the basket and made a three-pointer from beyond the three-point line.

When Yi Jianlian was young, three-pointers were one of his conventional weapons. He is also one of the most comprehensive players in Chinese history.

After hitting a three-pointer, Yi Jianlian interfered with the opponent's shooting on the defensive end, and took off the rebound again. This time, Yi Jianlian did not choose to pass the ball, but dribbled the ball through the half court by himself, completing a two-handed dunk.

"Is senior really 50 years old?" Mu Chenfeng couldn't help doubting Yi Jianlian's age. He had never seen a 50-year-old who could play in a team with two professional players.

Yi Jianlian has been away from the NBA arena for too long, and it is inevitable that he will be a little excited when he returns to this court, which is why he played an incredible performance.

After one quarter of the game, the red team led by Yi Jianlian actually beat the opponent 28:6, and the game was over in the first quarter.
