Chapter 1038 Appointment with "UA United" (Part [-])
After three consecutive trips, the Clippers returned to Los Angeles to face the Eastern Conference Washington Wizards.

Because Yi Jianlian is in the Wizards, this game is full of many Chinese elements.

Coupled with the Basketball Association officials who came to watch the game, Yi Jianlian is the "focus person" in this game.

"Nice to meet you today, Yi Jianlian~!"

During the warm-up period before the game, Lan Shengli took the initiative to find Yi Jianlian and say hello.

"Hi~, hello~"

Yi Jianlian responded somewhat implicitly.

"How is the recovery from the wrist injury~?!"

Lan Shengli asked with concern.

"It's okay~, I can definitely play the game~"

Yi Jianlian responded.

"I heard that officials from the Basketball Association came to Los Angeles to look for you, saying that they hope to let you be the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team~"

Yi Jianlian asked.

"Yeah, the officials of the Basketball Association should have told you that we got together after the game~?!"

Lan Shengli asked back.

"Well~, I heard, because we will continue to play the Lakers in Los Angeles, so we will not leave Los Angeles in a hurry~"

Yi Jianlian said.

"Okay~, come on~, I hope to see your wonderful performance today, as long as it doesn't affect the Clippers' victory, haha~!!"

Lan Shengli said with a smile.

"Haha~"

Yi Jianlian shook his head helplessly with a smile, and left.

The speaking competition has already started here.

Because Lan Shengli guessed Wizards coach Saunders' defense strategy in advance, he let Hill attack and achieved good results. Coupled with the excitement of returning to the home court, the Clippers played very well. initiative.

Before the first mandatory timeout, the Clippers had an 8-point lead.

Here, because Blatche's condition is not very good, Saunders decisively made personnel adjustments, and Yi Jianlian replaced Blatche.

"Come, come, come~!!!"

Seeing this, the Basketball Association officials spoke with great anticipation.

"Yi Jianlian has a certain accuracy in the middle distance, and when he catches the ball, he will always make a fake shot, so pay attention to these two points, give him space to break through, but pay attention to the defensive position~!!"

Here Lan Shengli reminds Love who is defending Yi Jianlian.

Although they are compatriots with Yi Jianlian, they have only opponents on the court.

In addition to replacing Yi Jianlian, the Wizards here also replaced Nick Young, who is "you can do what you want".

Sanders' purpose is very clear, to strengthen the offense.

The Clippers did not make any personnel adjustments, after all, the leading side is always standing still.

After returning from a timeout here, Yi Jianlian took the initiative to start a pick-and-roll tactic with Wall.

After the pick-and-roll, Wall gave Yi Jianlian the point. Faced with Love's defense, Yi Jianlian did directly make a fake shot, but Love, who had already "anticipated" it, did not hesitate at all and kept his defensive position.

Seeing this, Yi Jianlian directly chose a forced breakthrough with a dribble with his right hand.

Perhaps because he wanted to express himself too much, Yi Jianlian was obviously too anxious to play. During the process of dribbling, the ball hit Yi Jianlian's shoes and went out of the baseline, and it was a mistake as soon as it came up.

"Yi Jianlian's physical fitness and hardware conditions are absolutely fine, and his basic shooting skills are also good, but he still needs to refine some inside skills~"

Lan Shengli watched and sighed.

"However, with Yi Jianlian's ability, it should be more than enough in the Asian arena~"

Lan Shengli continued to think.

Although he has not officially accepted the position of head coach of the men's basketball team, Lan Shengli has already planned it unconsciously.

The game continues~

"Swipe~!!"

After Love came off the field and Bass defended, Yi Jianlian used his height advantage to hit a mid-range shot, which finally opened, but the Clippers were still in the lead.

Several key figures on the Wizards team did not play their due role. Wall's speed was restricted by Hill, Arenas was also in a state of "inexpensive and old, and he can still eat". Lewis and Nick Young Tried a few outside shots, but none of them hit.

This makes it difficult for the Wizards to overtake the score.

The Clippers played steadily and slowly expanded the score.

In the end, the Clippers beat the Wizards at home, once again avoiding a losing streak.

Harden scored 16 points, 3 rebounds and 9 assists, while Wall only contributed 8 points, 2 assists, and 3 turnovers. In the "No. [-] Showdown", Harden obviously won the victory.

And Yi Jianlian played fairly well in this game. Although he made a mistake at the beginning, he found his shooting touch and scored 12 points and 5 rebounds. However, in the offensive and defensive system of the Wizards, or in tactics, Yi Jianlian's The status is clearly marginalized.

In order to gain a real foothold in the NBA, Yi Jianlian still has a lot to do.

Perhaps after the rookie contract ends, Yi Jianlian can try to join the Clippers. Under Lan Shengli, Yi Jianlian may be able to play a greater advantage.

Or perhaps, the cooperation between the two will come early next summer.

After attending the post-match press conference, Lan Shengli quickly left the Staples Center and went to a Chinese restaurant that he had made an appointment with officials of the Basketball Association and Yi Jianlian.

"Actually, I've always wanted to find a chance to come down to eat and chat~ After all, in today's NBA, we are the only two Chinese left~"

Lan Shengli looked at Yi Jianlian and said.

"Yeah~, I heard a lot of stories about you from Yao Ming and others, I think you are really inspirational and legendary~!"

Yi Jianlian was still expressionless and stopped by.

"Haha~, how could there be~, actually it's nothing~, sometimes it is God who takes care of me, and I have met so many noble people along the way. Without their help, there would be no Lan Shengli today~"

Lan Shengli sighed with a smile.

"In addition to luck, I think it's more because of your ability. The kind of leadership you show can infect the people around you~!!"

Yi Jianlian said.

"That's why Yao Ming recommended you to be the head coach of the men's basketball team~!"

Yi Jianlian quickly introduced the topic.

"That's right~, now not only Dayao supports you, Ah Lian also supports you very much~!!"

Upon seeing this, the officials of the Basketball Association immediately interjected.

"Yes, I support you as the head coach of the men's basketball team, and I hope you can seriously consider it. As Chinese basketball players, we should all be proud and proud of being able to play for our country~!!"

Yi Jianlian immediately persuaded him.

"Ah Lian, since you said that, I want to ask you, after all, you are now considered the first brother of the men's basketball team, what do you think is the future development direction of the men's basketball team~?!"

Lan Shengli asked immediately.
