If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 232 Shooting must be traditional

"You have to improve your physical fitness and play more aggressively..."

"However, you are still young, and there will definitely be opportunities in the future. I am optimistic about you."

"However, you were selected for the national team at my age."

"It's okay, keep working hard. How about I treat you to dinner, plus game souvenirs?"

"Yeah!"

Athletes still communicate relatively directly, and Yi Jian has become a habit of chatting with Zhao Shuang now.

As a striker, Zhao Shuang's physical talent is not outstanding enough, which limits him.

But if you can improve a little bit, and then go outside to experience a higher level of basketball, maybe you can be more successful.

In terms of domestic women's basketball, the competitiveness is still too small.

In fact, the same is true at the world level. The height of a sport with low commercial value depends mainly on the level of genius that emerges.

Yi Jian's first-generation sneakers were sold well, and he took advantage of the popularity of the championship to get a good endorsement.

But he didn't spend his energy on these things. The worth of an athlete lies in his own strength and performance. With performance, there are other things.

With him watching, the training results of the national team are very good.

Especially those young players, with Yi Jian as the second place, all of them have substantially improved.

The fault of the national team is actually due to the lack of so many training opportunities.

Yi Jian hopes to bring a group of domestic players to fight against more powerful opponents, exercise their self-confidence, polish their strength, and let the national team as a whole go further.

He communicated a lot with the coaching staff. Now that the NBA tactics have been reformed, there are new requirements for players. He hopes that the national team can keep up.

In the past, Yao Ming's internal and external combination was actually not very efficient, but now some superstitious defenders use extreme tactics. Yi Jian still hopes that the national team can use kingly tactics.

With him, the team can have both offense and defense and adopt a more efficient offense.

During a series of warm-up matches, Yi Jian did not use his full firepower, but let the other players show off to the fullest, and then upgraded the details to form a suitable lineup.

Before going to Türkiye, Yi Jian accepted an interview.

He said frankly: "Without Dayao, the strength of the national team must have been affected. But we went to the World Championships to strive for victory."

"First set a small goal, qualify first in the group, and then move forward step by step."

"I hope that more domestic basketball players can go out to see a wider world, so that our basketball field can be improved as a whole, instead of just relying on one or two talented players."

The Chinese team is in the same group as the host Turkey this time. In fact, Yi Jian hopes to be in the same group with the US team, so that they will not meet so quickly in the knockout round.

Even if the U.S. team is no longer a dream team that never loses in the international arena, their strength is still the first, even if many stars have not come.

The lineup of the World Championships is not as strong as that of the Olympic Games, and some countries are not the strongest lineup.

It is a pity that the Chinese team lost an All-Star and no home court advantage.

Home court advantage is still more important. Turkey can finally win the championship with the United States in this World Championships, which is impossible without the bonus of host status.

"Okay, we can show the demeanor of a world-class team." After getting off the plane, Yi Jian half-jokingly said.

The current world ranking of the national team is actually quite high, the top few in the world, but in the perception of the outside world, even with the addition of Yi Jian, a superstar, the Chinese team is still third-rate.

There is no way, many points of the national team are obtained in Asia, and Asian teams in basketball are relatively weak, even weaker than football, so the outside world is not very optimistic about them this time.

Without Yao Ming, many experts believe that Yi Jian will be alone.

It's not clear if Yi Jian will be alone, but he is still quite confident in the group stage.

His ability to lead the team is unique in the history of the national team, and he is actually quite suitable for the cup.

It would be nice for the team to have more powerful shooters, so maybe they can be black to the end.

With the current lineup, it is still relatively difficult to meet ruthless characters.

The World Championships will start at the end of August, and the Chinese team will face Greece in the first match.

This year's Greek inside line is a bit weak, and their starting lineup is a bit like one big and four small, focusing on the outside line.

For the Chinese team, the starting lineup is almost the same as before, except that Yao Ming can't play, and the fifth position has become the veteran Wang Zhizhi.

Their style of play has also become more of an outside offense.

Yi Jian and Wang Zhizhi are two insiders, and the low post will not be the main means, unless the opponent's low post defense is not good, otherwise, they will receive the ball from the outside to attack.

The Chinese team has five starters, and all of them can shoot three-pointers.

In this case, it is actually more suitable for Yi Jian, because there is enough room for him to break through inside.

If the opponent doesn't have enough understanding of his strength, the game may not be able to come back by the time they find out.

Such is the nature of cup games, that chances of revenge may not be given.

Of course, the members of the group stage still have a chance to fight again, if they are really strong.

The national team's double guards, plus the pitcher's striker and the pitcher's fifth position are perfect for Yi Jian, except for his minor weaknesses such as not being strong enough in personal ability and not good enough in defense.

However, Wang Zhizhi's physical strength is not good, so Yi Jian still needs to go to the fifth position in many cases. The team plays a junior and a junior, and his partner Ding Jinghui or Zhou Peng is a tool striker.

Of course, even if the national team doesn't have many insiders, it's still enough.

The old problem of the national team has always been that the perimeter defense cannot keep up, and the ability to attack independently is not good.

Now Yi Jian's defense is a few levels stronger than in 2008, but it can make up for it a lot.

So now, how far this national team can go depends on outside shooting.

Anyway, players in every position can shoot. When Yi Jian is there, he directly attracts the defense to help the team gain space.

When Yi Jian was not around, he was still in the high pick-and-roll, relying on the passing ability of the two guards to find opportunities.

This set is still good, but except for Yi Jian, the scoring ability of others is really unstable.

If you encounter a strong enemy, no one can seize the opportunity for a few rounds, and it may be over.

After all, the ability to defend against outside lines is not strong, and it is very likely that someone will eat a few at the critical moment, and Yi Jian cannot recover.

The reason for all this is that his physical fitness and confrontation ability can't keep up. What Yi Jian can do is to make the team's shooting as stable as possible.

He remembered that the physical fitness of the future national team has actually improved somewhat overall, but the shooting ability has degraded a lot, resulting in the loss of many opportunities.

So from now on, he will establish the national team's tradition of valuing shooting, which is the foundation of basketball.

With good enough shooting ability, many tactics can be played.

Moreover, it will be more suitable for Yi Jian's card dealer skills.
