Rebirth of Yidi Legend

Chapter 119 Excited Dan Fagan (addition of 8000 recommended votes)

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the first No. 75 pick in the history of the Bucks, has played for the Bucks for six years. In the second season of his career, he brought Milwaukee the only A championship trophy, transferred to the Bucks in 1, but this does not prevent him from becoming the No. [-] in the history of the Bucks. After all, the few glorious moments in Milwaukee are related to him.

Whether it is Ray Allen or the current Michael Reid, it is difficult to be qualified to compare with him-it can be seen from the fact that the Bucks management has not retired the jerseys of the two.

Respect is mutual. Moreover, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and the Bucks broke up peacefully back then. It is also because of this relationship that Hardmon was able to invite Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to guide Yi Jianlian to practice skyhooks so smoothly.

A die-hard Bucks fan left a message under Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's video about Yi Jianlian's training: "Mr. MVP, do you think Yi can bring Milwaukee a championship?"

"I really can't say, but he is really talented!" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar taught Yi Jianlian for less than a month, and the latter was able to use the hook skillfully on the court at the end of January and almost February. The talent to learn skills is truly terrifying.

Especially after comparing with the learning speed of the Lakers' young Shark who claims to have unlimited potential, Abdul-Jabbar feels that Yi Jianlian's talent is extraordinary.

"However, the Bucks did usher in the best chance to win the championship since 74!"

These were the last words of Kareem's reply.

Yi Jianlian, who performed so well in the first year, coupled with Michael Reid and Mo Williams who are at their peak, this core trio is worth looking forward to.

"Hey, Yi? OMG, boy, you really, you really surprised me, why didn't you tell me you can play small forward!"

The day after the game, Yi Jianlian got a call from Dan Fagan, and his tone was very excited. Well, it seems that this guy has never been calm since he came back to him after the All-Star Game.

"Can you talk to Larry, and I will let you play small forward in the future!"

Yi Jianlian frowned slightly: "What do you want to say?"

"Sneakers! Nike is looking for me and wants to sign you, as well as Adidas, Reebok's representative, they're all on the phone, they're about to explode!" Dan Feigen's voice subconsciously lowered, as if he was afraid that no one would hear him , "As long as you can continue to play small forward, I can help you sign a contract that is not lower than LeBron's. What's wrong? If you can't open your mouth, then I will help you contact negotiations. God, we are prosperous this time. Already!"

LeBron signed with Nike for 7 years and 9000 million.

"Let's talk about it, let's not discuss this for now, I have to concentrate on preparing for the playoffs!" Yi Jianlian refused Dan Fagan's request without any trace.

Just kidding, let you talk about it just like you are in a hurry now?You have to kill the Bucks management, so let's stop!I managed to get along fairly well with the management in this life, and I absolutely can't let you mix it up again!

Dan Feigen heard the meaning of Yi Jianlian's words, but he was still worried, and reminded again: "Okay, let's talk about it after you finish the playoffs! However, you must strive for more opportunities to play small forward! "

It's no wonder he reminded Yi Jianlian so loudly to play small forward, there's no way!The big environment is here!It is also Yi Jianlian, if he plays a power forward, those sneaker dealers will earn 5 million in 3000 years at most, which is considered good!It was almost impossible to get 5 million in 2500 years.

Think about Karl Malone back then, a pair of iron elbows made him the number one player in the league, and the result?I only got 20 yuan in a few years, let's add some more money, and terminate the contract immediately, that's unpopular!
Although there are big sharks in the front and Howard in the back, and they all have their own endorsement shoes, the law of "big men don't sell shoes" has always existed.

If you don’t believe me, look back. In 18, there are so many beast insiders, but the one who owns the signature shoes is still "Warcraft" Howard!

This is why Dan Fagan was ecstatic after seeing Yi Jianlian's performance at the small forward position. Although he is still a forward, the small forward is an outside player. The sales of standard sneakers are guaranteed. Look at LeBron and Anthony , Look at Josh Smith, it's a big deal to get a sneaker contract.

Yi Jianlian did not lose to these three guys at all in his rookie season. The history he created along the way and the popularity he attracted made him the next league superstar.

Not to mention that there is a huge Chinese market behind him!
When these aspects are added together, what is there to say about the influence, otherwise Dan Fagan can so confidently guarantee to help Yi Jianlian sign a contract endorsement that is no less than LeBron?

However, no matter what Dan Fegan thinks, Yi Jianlian still wants to wait a little longer. He really wants to talk to Little K again about his style of play. There will be changes. Can Little K arrange his style of play and establish a new offensive and defensive system? In addition, can Michael Reid accept that he has more ball possessions on the outside, or even surpasses his possessions? This is one aspect. , if the time comes to break up with Michael Reid, Yi Jianlian will feel a little bit unbearable. After all, when he first joined the team, Michael Reid took care of and helped him a lot. It's a bit too ugly to end up scattered.

More importantly, it is also the root cause of his reluctance to change his style of play now: he has a fatal weakness at the small forward position...

***
It’s just that Yi Jianlian hesitated, but God made a joke on him. In the second game of the playoffs, Michael Reid was pushed too hard by Morris Evans, so he chose to break through for a layup. The knee was seriously injured, and he couldn't stand up at that time, and was carried off the field. Although Yi Jianlian returned to the small forward position in the second half of the third quarter and helped the Bucks win the second game, he also exposed The fatal problem he is worried about-his current physical fitness is not enough to support his style of play at the small forward position!

In response to this point, Van Gundy used wheel battles to consume Yi Jianlian's physical energy from the third game. With a huge scoring hole, the Bucks lost four games in a row with a big 2-0 lead, and regrettably fell in the first round of the playoffs.

It's just that Milwaukee fans don't feel much regret, because Milwaukee's future is bright.

After Yi Jianlian scored a 30-plus quasi-triple-double in the first game, he also scored 26 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists in the second game.

而在迈克尔里德受伤后易建联独自带队的四场比赛里，他的发挥也没有下滑，场均27.75分8个篮板7.5个助攻1.5个盖帽以及1.25个抢断。

Performance is still perfect!

But from some small data, we can also see the impact of Michael Reid's absence on him. The average number of turnovers per game has increased from 3.5 in the previous two games to 5.5!
However, even so, Yi Jianlian's playoff debut is perfect enough.

Two days after the end of the first round of the series, Yi Jianlian won the best rookie award in the 07~08 season as he wished, and as some experts predicted before the game, 118 famous journalists and authoritative experts who participated in the voting voted the first Voted for Yi Jianlian.

This is an affirmation of Yi Jianlian's explosive performance in the first six games of the playoffs!

Yi Jianlian fulfilled his wish and became another rookie who was unanimously elected the best rookie after David Robinson. At the same time, he also made Milwaukee's embarrassing record of not having the best rookie in 38 years passed away.

"In any case, from this moment on, the name Yi Jianlian has been associated with the history of Milwaukee and the Bucks!"

　Thank you for the 1000 coins rewarded by the black who doesn't understand the night during the day.

　　The third update, at this point, Yi Jianlian's first season is over, he won the best rookie, and his legend has officially begun, let us wait and see, the next story.

　　Keep asking for referrals.
