Rebirth of Yidi Legend

Chapter 76 The old enemy
"The first choice turned out to be him?"

Terry Stotts didn't expect it, and neither did the other Eagles players. Josh Smith subconsciously rushed over, but when he was almost in front of Mo Williams, Terry Stotts' voice rang in the back of his head Get up, still impatient: "No, it's Michael, quickly, post him!"

"call!"

With the sound of the wind breaking through the air, Josh Smith only saw Mo Williams, who was already in a shooting posture, turn around, and the ball flew towards the direction he was rushing over.

There, it was Michael Reid.

Completely wide open, Michael Reed, who caught the ball steadily, shot directly without hesitation.

it's over!
All the fans in the Bradley Arena auditorium saw Michael Reed throw this ball, and the thought in their hearts was that they won!
This is the trust that "Golden Left Hand" Michael Reid has brought to them with his performance in the past 7 seasons.

This moment, this home court, this angle of the three-pointer!

Michael Reid, definitely in!
"Snapped!"

but……

"It's not over yet!" Horford's magical soldier descended from the sky. No one knew when he ran out, but he just arrived, jumped high, and knocked down Michael Reed's almost winning three-pointer.

"Counterattack!"

Josh Smith grabbed the ball, and amid Horford's shouts, he rushed towards the Bucks' basket without looking back.

"Oh, no!"

The sudden change also made the Bucks fans feel the gap in their hearts. With 5.6 seconds left in the game, Josh Smith's speed can completely complete this fast break.

"This time it's really over!" Josh Smith, who took the lead, had rushed into the Bucks penalty area and jumped high. He wanted to end the game with a powerful dunk.

It also fits his character.

Fast breaks will dunk.

only……

"Ho!"

A roar, a flushed face, following the shout, the veins on the forehead almost popped out, and there was an arm that was already on the basketball.

Yi Jianlian broke out midway: "I'm sorry, I don't accept the same way of death!"

During the stalemate, the ball slipped from Josh Smith's hand, landed on the ground, and bounced to the sidelines. When "Gulu Gulu" rolled out of bounds, the buzzer sounded to represent the end of the game.

"Wow ~ wow wow wow!"

If you ask Bucks fans what kind of mood they are in now, most of them will definitely answer: I seem to have been on a roller coaster.

In the future, I will have to watch the games with Suxiao Jiuxin Pills!

Stimulate, stimulate!

I have to say, the final offense and defense was really exciting!
"Win, win, I, win!"

Yi Jianlian listened to the cheers of the audience, but he seemed to be silent in the tension of the last attack just now. After a long time, he confirmed that the Bucks were indeed leading in the final score, and the time of the game had indeed run out. Then he finally yelled out loud.

He finally avenged the Summer League revenge!
But he was suffocated!
And this time... almost got killed again. Fortunately, he noticed Horford's movements. He didn't know why he rushed out early, but he always felt that this game would not end so easily. The opponent's respect, the current result also shows that no opponent should be underestimated.

almost~
"Yeah~"

Ilyasova and the others ran over from the bench, surrounded Yi Jianlian, and gave the biggest cheers to the Bucks' biggest contributor to tonight's victory.

Horford stood outside the circle and looked at Yi Jianlian, who was held up by his teammates, with a cloudy expression on his face. He did lose this time, and he was convinced by the loss-judging from the performance of the audience, Yi Jianlian has improved a lot. With the help of his teammates, the potential stock that fought against him has transformed into the second leader of the Bucks who can play his own role.

This summer, he really practiced a lot!

Of course Horford also practiced, but judging from today's results, his practice is obviously not enough.

"Come on, Al!"

Josh Smith, who was blocked by Yi Jianlian, had a slightly unhappy expression on his face, but his tone was not to the point of brooding.A professional player like him has long been used to everything on the field, so he won't feel so upset about losing a regular season.

"Next time, win back!"

Of course, it is impossible to be completely indifferent!
"it is good!"

Al Horford responded. After playing so many games in the NBA, he also gradually understood the difference between the NCAA and the NBA. Here, a game does not determine the winner or loser, and there are opportunities for revenge.

Therefore, the accumulated grievances have formed a pair of old enemies in the alliance.

Although he doesn't know how long it will take, he knows very well that within the next two years he will be firmly tied to the name Yi Jianlian.

The battle for the No. 07 and No. 3 picks in the 4 draft has obviously just begun!
Just wait for me, Huaxia boy!

***
The pre-match battle between the Bucks and the Eagles ended with a narrow victory for the Bucks.

Yi Jianlian scored 23 points and 8 rebounds, and scored back behind Michael Reed. The latter quietly scored 25 points in this game and became the team's scoring leader again.

This makes Yi Jianlian a little admired. He can get some easy shots, and his current statistics are inseparable from Michael Reid's ability to attract defense on the offensive end.

If Michael Reid rests in any game, Yi Jianlian believes that his final score or shooting percentage will definitely drop significantly.

This is also the root cause of Yi Jianlian's admiration for Michael Reid. He is one of those players who are often talked about by experts and fans and cannot be stopped by pure defense.

Yi Jianlian's current goal is to become such a player first.

Horford's offensive and defensive performance tonight can be said to be very eye-catching, but the statistics after the game: 14 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists.

Typical Al Horford-esque stats.

Not explosive but well rounded.

The reason why Al Horford was later called the "Ball Blind Detector" is because of this. He has never been a player who relies on statistics to reflect his value.

"Congratulations, Yi, it was a wonderful game. How do you feel about facing Al Horford for the first time in the NBA?"

……

"Oh, Al, you performed really well tonight. It's just a pity that you almost won. I don't know how you feel when you face the most eye-catching rookie Yi for the first time?"

At the press conferences on both sides after the game, everyone unanimously raised similar questions, and they all wanted to see Horford and Yi Jianlian's evaluation of each other after the game.

"This is a very good opponent. It is also the first guy I have lost since I entered the NBA draft. I am very happy that I won tonight. The next time I meet him, the game will definitely become more difficult. But I believe that the winning side must still be the Bucks!"

"Haha, did he really say that? OMG, Huaxia boy is really more and more confident now, but next time, I will definitely win back, just wait, Yi!"

The two newcomers evaluated each other with respect as always, faintly, they became more and more like a pair of old enemies!
