If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 156 The Role of the Asian Championships
"I've wanted to come to Tianjin for a long time to have a good meal." Zhao Shuang smiled happily.

Miss Zhao Shuang has also become a professional player now, and she performed well in her first season.

Yi Jian has been in contact with her all the time, the kind that is neither salty nor insipid, occasionally chatting online, most of the time they talk about competitions.

Before the women's basketball team trained in BJ, Zhao Shuang also went as a training partner.

After the women's basketball training camp went abroad to compete, Zhao Shuang was going to come to Tianjin to watch the game.

The men's basketball team is at home again this time. During the holiday before the official game, Yi Jian called Zhao Shuang by the way.

Some people have a clear distinction between work and life, and they don't want to talk about work in their lives.

Yi Jian is different. Basketball is his favorite career, and he also likes friends who share the same language.

So compared to girls in other fields, he still likes to have more contact with girls of the same profession.

Especially Zhao Shuang, who is beautiful, this is a common feature of men.

"I'm so envious of those of you who have been selected for the national team. I can only sit down and watch the game."

"Yi Jian, your suggestion is still good. I practiced according to your method, and I feel that I have made great progress."

Sometimes Zhao Shuang is relatively quiet, but she can't stop talking when she starts talking.

Yi Jian smiled and said: "Don't be envious, you will definitely be selected for the national team if you work hard. Your talent is very good, I am optimistic about you."

"As for the training method, it's fine if you think it's okay. I went to the trainer with your side report and video, and you should give feedback in time if there is any situation."

"Actually, I want to play like you more." Zhao Bibian said while eating, his voice was a bit vague.

Yi Jian couldn't help laughing, "Our characteristics are still different. Although we are both forward players, you are more on the outside. You can imitate my teammate Xiaoshuai."

"Why is Durant handsome? He's not handsome at all."

"That's a long story."

In August, the Asian Championships started.

This year's Asian Championships national team grouping is relatively easy. The other three teams in the group are India, Qatar, and Kazakhstan. Their strengths are relatively average. Japan and South Korea are in the same group.

Yi Jian said solemnly in an interview before the game: "Our opponents are also quite strong."

"Of course, my point of view is that any group is the same. The Chinese team has only one opponent, which is the Asian champion. It's just a matter of when to play which team. There is no strength or weakness. It doesn't matter which opponent we play against."

"We will not consider the grouping situation, we will try our best to defeat the opponent."

"Asian games are played in China again, there is no other concept, it is the championship."

On August 8, the men's basketball Asian Championships group stage kicked off, and the first match of the national team was underdog India.

India is known as a big country, but sports are not good.

They are the strongest team in the group.

Yi Jian started playing very easily, and after winning a double-double, he dealt more cards at the top of the arc.

Such an opponent, the national team can play casually, and Yi Jian also got a triple-double.

The two teams also played an exaggerated point difference. It's not Yi Jian's fault. It's because the rest of the team wanted to show off too much.

"Actually, a team that starts too weakly is not good, and it is not so easy to get up."

"I think the team's shooting is still not stable enough and needs more training."

When Yi Jian sat on the bench and commented on the team, he was a bit old-fashioned, but everyone felt that what he said was more reasonable.

In fact, Yi Jian was not as foolish as he was in the Thunder in the national team.

The main reason is that the members of the national team spend less time with each other, and they don't play enough games.

Yi Jian's method of leading the team is to lead by example and communicate more during the game.

It doesn't matter if there are some things outside the arena. If he fails to meet the requirements in the game, Yi Jian will not give face at all, no matter if he is a big brother or a talented boy.

He is the boss of the team, this cannot be disputed.

There is a group match every day, but the intensity is not particularly strong for the national team.

After all, in Asia, they almost have the strength of the US team.

Even if it's a little short, it's not particularly much.

The one that poses some threat to them is Iran.

But it is different now, Yi Jian's style is more versatile, and it will be easier to lead the team to victory.

Because he is not afraid of misplacement and can defend, it is not so easy for opponents to go crazy from the outside.

The next day, the Chinese team played against Kazakhstan relatively easily.

But now this team, except for Yi Jian, the others are indeed a little bit worse, and the offensive end is not strong enough.

After Yao Ming was injured, the national team is actually in a stage of alternation between the old and the new. Those who can play in the previous generation are all old, and those who can take over have not yet appeared.

If it weren't for Yi Jian's cheating, it would be a relatively dark era for Chinese basketball.

Now, Yi Jian can still get assists.

It is quite good to use the Asian Championships to familiarize yourself with new skills.

It's just that when Yi Jian rests, the team's offense will have problems, and the team's veteran Wang Zhizhi will need to stand up.

Sun Yue, who also mixed in the NBA and won a championship with the team, is disappointing.

Sun Yue didn't listen to the advice, and his shooting didn't improve at all after a season.

Originally, he was given up by the Lakers and Yi Jian considered letting the team open the back door, and now he fully has the face.

But think about it or forget it. Some players are probably going to suffer setbacks, and they will be responsible for not seizing the opportunity.

"Defend! Follow the opponent's footsteps!"

"Shoot more decisively! Our offense needs to be more aggressive."

Yi Jian shouted loudly on the field, feeling like a member of the coaching staff.

The head coach Jonas is very kind to him, and he doesn't blame him for stealing the limelight.

The head coach has always been more tolerant of players who can help the team win games.

Some players on the field felt that he was pretending, and some were encouraged to fight high.

Yi Jian doesn't care what the previous players are, now that the national team has entered his era, the newcomers in the future must set the rules, and he must let everyone know what it means to go all out to win.

Follow him, everyone must work hard to make progress.

Otherwise, there is only one end to offending the team boss.

Although the national team is not a club, when the strength of the team reaches a certain level, many things are actually similar.

In competitive sports, food is the original sin, and the strong are gods.

The national team won the game naturally, and it was the same against Qatar.

The men's basketball team is still several grades better than the men's football team, so there is no need to worry about the group stage.

And when it's time for training, Yi Jian will ask everyone to practice shooting with him.

"Shooting is the most basic skill. No matter how basketball develops, shooting must be practiced well. In the future, basketball tactics will be more abundant, and three-pointers will be a powerful weapon."

If someone is unwilling to practice, or is lazy, Yi Jian will not say much, but he will remember.

Don't blame him if you lose the national team in the future.

He wants everyone in the circle to know what kind of teammates he needs.
