Starting with 2006

Chapter 514 Power forward's duel!

Everyone probably has someone they want to beat, and Yi Jianlian is naturally not surprised. The man standing in front of everyone like a mountain is his goal. He wants to beat the strongest offensive player in the league. power forward.

Although the best power forward recognized by the league is Tim Duncan of the Spurs, in his opinion, the one who is most similar to him may be Nowitzki, and the one he wants to beat most is Nowitzki.

Duncan is strong in his comprehensiveness, no matter what Duncan can do, and he will do his best to do his best, while Nowitzki is offensive, and his unsolvable offense is what a white insider can do. The main reason for the league's brutal inside center, his movement, his shooting, his footwork, this is the most important factor for Nowitzki to be considered by everyone as one of the best offensive power forwards in history .

Offense can win the love of fans. Everyone likes gorgeous style of play and offense, but can offense win the game alone?

This is everyone's doubts about Nowitzki. This is also one of the reasons why everyone generally believes that Garnett is a better player than Nowitzki when Duncan was independent, although their general honor gap Not big, but many people think that the ability to lead the team is the main reason why Nowitzki is not as good as Garnett.

Everyone thinks that Yi Jianlian is more like Dirk Nowitzki than Duncan or Garnett because Yi Jianlian's offense is better, and his defense is also very good, but it is only a single defense. It can become the core of the team's defensive system like Garnett or Duncan, and one person can support a team.

And it is too difficult for an inside player to carry a team through offense. Any inside player who wants to grow into an NBA superstar or even gain a foothold in the NBA must start with defense, but now There is a player who breaks this rule. He is a much stronger offensive player than defensive player from the beginning.

Even he was able to use his offense to establish an offensive system for the team and lead the team to the finals. This is something that all expert coaches have called incredible in the past few years.

The new generation of players in the league now has Dirk Nowitzki. Perhaps Yi Jianlian is not exactly the same as Dirk Nowitzki, but their essence or evolutionary path is completely the same. Using offense to drive the team's offense, as a big player Forwards, they cannot use defense to bring huge changes to the team like their predecessors and most of their peers, but they can use stable offense to keep the team aggressive forever!
"So, wouldn't it be interesting to see Ah Lian and Dirk meet again?"

Although Gao Tian didn't smile when he said this, Sun Yue clearly saw the smile flashing in Gao Tian's eyes. At this time, Gao Tian was like a weasel who just stole a chicken in his eyes, and he was very happy.

In other words, it is very similar to those melon-eating people on the Internet, and it looks like watching the excitement is not a big deal, which is really depressing.

After all, their head coach Stotts, who has not slept well for two days, specifically emphasized before the game that they need to win this game, and they need to use this victory to make a mark for their record this month. Guaranteed, no one wants to see the team lose consecutive games. Although it is the regular season, they still need to win the game.

They are all well aware of the pressure Stotts is under now, so when Gao Tian is about to hand over the initiative on the court to Yi Jianlian, Sun Yue really panicked.

When something goes wrong in the game, he doesn't need to think about what Stotts will look like. Of course Gao Tian will be fine at that time, but they will inevitably bear part of Stotts' anger, so at this time he and Zhan En, who came over at the same time, looked at each other and understood the meaning of the place.

Although usually they are not very consistent, but at this time they chose to walk on the same front. This game is not a joke. If Stotts loses, no matter how good his temper is, they will be sprayed. Bloody head.

"Don't you trust your teammates?"

Gao Tian looked at these two guys who were originally at odds flirting in front of him, wondering what they were thinking, he asked a casual rhetorical question, which stunned the two point guards who had already made plans. They didn't know how to answer.

Don't believe Yi Jianlian?

That must not work, is Yi Jianlian's strength bad?

Of course not bad, he is definitely one of the best inside players in the league in the hearts of all Bobcats players, but the main opponent Yi Jianlian has to face is Dirk Nowitzki!
Even if they are facing Duncan or Garnett, they will not worry about Yi Jianlian. After all, these two guys can fight Yi Jianlian no matter how strong they are, but they are really worried when facing Nowitzki. Maybe he will really be beaten without confidence.

Only players in the same position can understand the strength of the opponent, especially when a supernova meets his own potential template, the feeling and pressure are probably only he himself can understand.

So can Yi Jianlian really break Dirk Nowitzki's monopoly performance in this position?

It's hard.

But they are Yi Jianlian's teammates!
The outside world was not optimistic about Yi Jianlian's performance against Nowitzki in this game. If they don't even believe in Yi Jianlian now, who else can believe in him?
Especially Sun Yue, as the person who has the best relationship with Yi Jianlian, he knows best what his friend is thinking and what his wish is, so when Gao Tian put this question in front of him, he was silent, One side is the coach's victory, and the other side is the wish of a friend.

"Come on!"

Gao Tian's words broke the atmosphere of silence. They began to change their clothes and play. This game was meaningful to each other. Use a victory to crush them in the recent downturn, and they don't want to lose this game after three consecutive losses!
Glancing at Yi Jianlian, who was also hovering between longing and hesitation, Sun Yue secretly clenched his fists. This match was very important to the Bobcats, and it was also very important to his friend Ah Lian!

So he hopes that he can help his good friend, even if he will be reprimanded by the coach!

Is this really necessary?
Stotts saw the resolute and consistent expressions of the players. Of course he knew what these little guys were thinking. Who didn't come from that age?

What made him angry and funny was that he could clearly feel that the players had grown up. They were no longer the players who obeyed him in everything. They began to have their own ideas and actions. Make him a little sad.

But what is this?

One day it will be like this, and now this day is just ahead of time.

Stotts is very open-minded, and he doesn't intend to care about the execution on the field with the players. After all, the tactics arranged before the game are one thing, and how the players perform on the field is another.

As for how he thinks about the performance of the players in the end, it depends on whether they can win the game. If he even finds a good reason for them, they haven't won the game yet , then Stotts will definitely feel a little disappointed.

As soon as Dirk Nowitzki came on the court, he felt the pressure brought by the young Chinese big man on the opposite side. He glanced at the young guy in front of him who had been taught a lot by him last season. After a summer, he was so full of fighting spirit?
This is very interesting.

The NBA is such a league. Everyone has to compete with their seniors in the same position at the beginning, so those who can stand out from it are definitely geniuses among geniuses, not to mention Yi Jianlian, who has gained fame in the United States in just his second year. Player, his talent is definitely visible to the naked eye.

Of course, Nowitzki also knows that every time he plays a game, he can feel the progress of this young man. Perhaps for others, such progress is enough, but facing him, it is still far away. Not enough!

Yi Jianlian brought him some surprises, of course, only surprises.

So now he is confident to challenge himself again?

Nowitzki shook his head lightly. He didn't take this matter to heart. The whole Shanmao only cared about Gao Tian. It has potential.

As for how much strength their potential can be transformed into, and how long it will take to complete the transformation, this is an unknown thing. Potential is always an elusive thing. Only the strength that is now on the surface will win all Superstar Respect!

Because of this, he decided to teach this young man a small lesson. Although he has been unable to carry the Mavericks and let the Mavericks re-enter the ranks of the championship, he is still one of the top stars in the world. !

Isn't it easy to teach a mere second-year player a lesson?

Gao Tian hit a mid-range shot to start the game. At the beginning, the Bobcats' strategy was a bit conservative. They still like to hand all the balls to Gao Tian. This kind of play makes the game a little slower, not quite like the Bobcats. The usual offensive style.

And their defensive attention was particularly focused at the beginning of the game. The cooperation between Nowitzki and Jason Terry failed several times. Those monsters with long arms and legs outside the Bobcats used their talents The Mavericks' classic tactics were forced to nowhere. Seeing that there was not much time left in the attack, the Mavericks' offense still didn't hit the ball and never scored. They wanted to score inside.

Nowitzki did not rush, and directly reached for the ball from the high waist position. Obviously, under the circumstances of the game, he had to play alone. This is also a tactic of the Mavericks. When their tactics cannot be opened , Just give the ball to Nowitzki, and rely on Nowitzki's personal ability to complete this attack!

And the defender in front of Nowitzki at this time is Yi Jianlian!

From the very beginning, the two faced each other directly!

This is their time. Although it is a better choice to double-team Nowitzki at this time, it is not a good thing for Yi Jianlian. He hopes to have a one-on-one opportunity.

Bobcats players can understand Yi Jianlian's thoughts, so they chose to pull away very empathetically, pretending not to see the darkened face of the head coach on the sidelines, and giving Yi Jianlian a chance to defend Nowitzki one-on-one .

"So, they really want you to guard me?"

Yi Jianlian just heard this sentence and before he could think about what was going on, he saw Nowitzki choose a tentative step. The moment he saw this action, Yi Jianlian put everything just behind his mind. All the attention was on Nowitzki, and he chose to move his footsteps slightly. He guessed that Nowitzki would choose a mid-range shot after an emergency stop.

So now he is doing fake moves!

All these changes in footsteps and the movement of the center of gravity are to find space for him to shoot. What Yi Jianlian is doing now is to tentatively give Nowitzki a breakthrough space, and at the same time, he has been trying his best to block his next shot. The plate made Nowitzki's dribbling unstable and he had to lower his center of gravity.

Yi Jianlian’s choice was not wrong. Nowitzki was indeed disrupted by Yi Jianlian from his original plan. Yi Jianlian’s strong body and long arms brought him a lot of interference. He really did not expect Yi Jianlian’s progress to be so great. Not only Yi Jianlian's defensive judgment, but also his body!
This is what surprised him the most. He thought that all the players who just entered the NBA are more or less not suitable for NBA-level confrontation. Their bodies are too thin compared to the NBA, so they all need to grow up. Weight, but many people subconsciously resist gaining weight because it is not within their control.

Gaining weight means increasing the risk of injury, and sometimes they even need to change their style of play.

Nowitzki, who felt the strength of Yi Jianlian's body, was really surprised. Even in the second grade, he didn't have the courage and persistence to gain weight to this point. Now Yi Jianlian's body has truly reached the level of the NBA. Level inside confrontation!
He is great!
But that's it.

Before Yi Jianlian was delighted, he pushed Nowitzki to a desperate situation. In less than two seconds of attack time, he forced Nowitzki to stop the ball. This was already an extremely successful defense for him, but he just Watching Nowitzki twist his body like that, just adjust a shooting space in the air when he was about to cut the ball, and then watch the ball fly off his fingertips.

Landing, the ball goes in!
