Rebirth of Yidi Legend

Chapter 253 Danny Green Walking the Right Way
Yi Jianlian finished designing sneakers, and it was almost September, when the closed training camps of NBA teams began one after another.

Many teams have undergone major changes this year, which has also led to many teams' closed training camps being much earlier than in previous years. The number opened a closed training camp.

Hammond watched the other teams take action, discussed with Little K, and decided to start closed training earlier.

9 month 12 day.

The day the Bucks all reported.

Crawford and Channing Frye are not bound to join the team. First, they have played in this league for so many years, and their current teammates have met more or less times. Second, they followed Yi Jianlian and Mo Williams has been training for a month.Getting to know the boss is equivalent to getting to know all the teammates.

Yi Jianlian also met two rookies this year, Ty Gibson and Danny Green.

Although Mason is gone, the custom of "bullying" rookies cannot be lost. It happened to be Mo Williams' birthday, so Yi Jianlian asked the two young rookies to sing happy birthday.

Mo Williams: ? ? ?How come I don't know my birthday.

After singing the birthday song, everyone will be in harmony.

When the teams started their closed training camps one after another, they took an off-season break, and the restless sports websites also started to get busy.

First, Sports Illustrated began to update the player strength rankings.

This is the ranking that "Sports Illustrated" publishes every year. It will be updated from the bottom ten for about a month. Ten rankings will be updated every day until the last day when the league's top ten are announced.

Playing this kind of ranking like them is "ESPN".

Of course, these are the two most influential rankings, and they are also the two lists that fans are more concerned about.Other websites also conduct similar rankings, but because they are not authoritative enough, they have not attracted much attention.

Among the ten players announced on the first day, a player whom Yi Jianlian knew unexpectedly appeared—Sun Yue.

Sun Yue, who was abandoned by the Lakers this year, re-signed with the New York Knicks and stayed in the NBA, but this does not change the "Sports Illustrated" view of him.

It is worth mentioning that local newspapers in Los Angeles also called the signing of Sun Yue "the worst signing in the history of the Lakers."

Obviously, Sun Yue's growth has not reached what they hoped, not even the minimum standard.

Regarding Sun Yue, Yi Jianlian really has nothing to say. During the training camp together last summer, he and Zhu Fangyu were not serious, and they were purely playing soy sauce.

In addition to the player strength rankings, "ESPN" also announced the rankings of the 6 teams in the new season: the Bucks ranked No.[-] in the overall list, and the defending champion Lakers overwhelmed them. Here came O'Neal's Cavaliers, the Magic with the new "OK combination", and the Spurs and Nuggets.

The Celtics ranked seventh, and the one-year-old "Big Three" made the Celtics' competitiveness further decline.

The most dissatisfied with this ranking is naturally the Celtics fans. They don't think there can be six teams ahead of them.

"Just wait and see! Time will tell!"

Milwaukee fans didn't feel that the Bucks ranked higher or lower. Compared with this ranking, what they cared more about was the player strength ranking. They all wanted to see if Yi Jianlian, the future of Milwaukee, could rank No. [-] a few locations.

It's just that the list has only just begun to be announced. If they want to know Yi Jianlian's ranking, they have to wait at least 20 more days, and they may get the last day.

Based on Yi Jianlian's MVP-level performance last season, it's not too much to rank in the top ten in the league, right?

After a week of adaptive training, the Bucks have entered a formal tactical run-in period.

K continued to adjust the lineup, and finally determined the starting lineup of the Bucks: Mo Williams, Courtney Lee, Yi Jianlian, Channing Frye and Bogut.

Well, just removed Ilyasova and replaced Channing Frye.

No way, Channing Frye is the high-end version of Ilyasova. Since there is a high-end version, why use Ilyasova?

Little K's only entanglement is Tai Jibson, this newcomer impressed him too deeply, he is very energetic, and he can be cultivated.

But after all, he is still a rookie, and he should be honed in the second team first. When he matures a little bit, it is not in a hurry to let him compete with Channing Frye for the starting lineup.

Jamal's offensive ability with the ball also made Little K look very envious. His dribbling behind the back is so fast that even Courtney Lee can't stop him. He is definitely capable of becoming a starting player.

However, his requirements for the ball are too high, and Yi Jianlian has too much shot power in the starting lineup. Besides, he is paired with Mo Williams. The defense of the two is really unwatchable. I am afraid it is better than Mo Williams and Michael Reid. The backcourt of partnering is even worse.

The most suitable is the sixth man.

When Hammond traded Jamal Crawford over this matter, he told the latter that he was psychologically prepared. After K promised his right to shoot in the second team, he did not He agreed with no worries.

For Crawford, there is actually no difference between a starter and a substitute. As long as he is given a chance to attack, he will have no objection no matter what his identity is.

After the lineup was allocated, the training also started. Like last year, Little K asked them to run tactics first, and at the same time, there was also individual targeted training.

After training like this for about a week, Little K discovered a strange thing. Yi Jianlian had been communicating with the rookie Danny Green who was just selected this year, and seemed to be giving the latter some advice.

Does this young man like Yi Jianlian so much?
Little K remembers that Courtney Lee didn't have such treatment when he first joined the Bucks last year.

There's nothing outstanding about this guy, right?

Little K recalled Danny Green's side report, and felt more and more strange.

Yi Jianlian... I really didn't expect the Bucks to select Danny Green in the draft!

When did Hammond's vision change so much?

Hammond: Actually, I have nothing to choose. Who told you to play such a good team record last season, which made us so low in the lottery.

Tsundere face~
Danny Green, one of the best "3D players" in the "small ball era", is also a model of grassroots players' counterattacks.

Although Yi Jianlian is not Popovich, he knows the "backward method". Danny Green is famous in the league for his three-pointers and defense. Now as long as he is good at defense and three-pointers, he will naturally get up in the future up.

In the past two days, Yi Jianlian has been giving advice to Danny Green on defense and three-pointers. The latter also agrees with what Yi Jianlian said, and the entire training direction is gradually shifting towards three-pointers and defense.

The original Danny Green wasted a few years with the Cavaliers, and it was not until he entered the Spurs that he found his position with the help of Popovich.

This time he was lucky, he got Yi Jianlian's suggestion as soon as he came up. In Yi Jianlian's opinion, he should be able to become stronger than the original him. After all, he didn't waste his time this time. Once he entered the league, he went the most correct way. road.
