NBA: Two hands can’t carry championship rings

The Jazz sent out all the main players, while the Warriors still had a full lineup of substitutes.

Ellis, who was sitting off the court, did not look very good. When his teammates came on the court, he did not cheer them up, but sat on the bench and watched coldly.

He had just won the league's"Most Improved Player Award" last season, and played an important role in the"Black Eight Miracle" with the team. This season, the team sent away All-Star Richardson for him.

This should have been his own stage, but a small undrafted player stole the limelight.

After the Jazz's main players came on the court, Boozer successfully scored a goal and overtook the score.

Yue Yi attracted defensive firepower outside the three-point line. Watson passed the ball to him, and he made a response point and passed the ball out.

The Warriors got a relatively easy scoring opportunity in the interior, and the scores of the two teams rose alternately.

There were still 6 minutes and 23 seconds left before the end of the game, and the score between the two teams was 91:92, and the Warriors had the ball.

Yue Yi had not shot for several rounds, but Kirilenko still did not relax his defense against Yue Yi and stared at him.

Everyone thought that Kirilenko's staring at Yue Yi had worked.

After receiving the ball outside the three-point line, Yue Yi only had the basket in his eyes. He bent his knees and chose to shoot.

Kirilenko thought to himself: Little guy, you still dare to shoot?

Rich defensive experience and countless accumulated blocking experiences told Kirilenko that at this distance and angle, he was simply looking for a block.

Kirilenko jumped high, raised his palms to the sky, waiting for the moment to fan the basketball away.

However, after flying up, the experienced Kirilenko found that he was fooled by a little rookie.

Damn!

The little guy just stood on tiptoe and didn't jump at all.

A body directly hit him in the air, and then threw the ball crookedly.

Kirilenko was furious, and with his long arms, he slapped the basketball to the ground.

The little boy still wanted 3+1, but he didn't even think about it.

When Yue Yi saw that he had successfully ignited Kirilenko, he had three free throws in his hands.

This is the scene Yue Yi often saw on TV before, lighting up the opponent to cheat free throws.

When the whistle sounded, Yue Yi walked to the free throw line, and smiled faintly at AK47.

This smile was undoubtedly a provocation.

Kirilenko quietly stood on both sides of the free throw line, ready to grab the rebound.

When Yue Yi was shooting free throws, the statistics showed that he had made 8 of 9 shots and 5 of 5 three-pointers, and had already scored 21 points.

If all the free throws were made, the score would reach 24 points.

Looking at the score alone, this is already an All-Star level data.

Sure enough, Yue Yi, who has a very high mid-range shooting rate, is also quite stable in free throws, making 3 of 3 free throws.

The score on the field is 94:92.

It was another three rounds back and forth, and Yue Yi was very uncomfortable being defended by Kirilenko.

Without Yue Yi shooting again, as time passed, the Warriors' morale was consumed little by little, and the strength gap between the Warriors' substitutes and the Jazz's starting lineup was fully reflected.

Seeing that the situation was not good, old Nelson immediately replaced all the substitutes.

Old Nelson has a lot of coaching experience. He can certainly see that Yue Yi has been in great form for a while, but after that period, it is too much to expect him to lead the team to win.

His performance today has given everyone enough surprises.

Let the main players compete with them next.

Yue Yi smiled and left the court. He high-fived his teammates one by one. When he got to Ellis, Yue Yi was ignored.

Yue Yi smiled and didn't care. He said in his native language:

""Little brat."

After leaving the court, Yue Yi sat on the bench until the end of the game.

108:111, the Warriors lost the first game of the new season.

The two teams were still tied at the end, and the Jazz only maintained a slight advantage.

But the Jazz always stood firm and blocked the Warriors' attack waves again and again.

Losing is losing. For Yue Yi now, his personal performance on the court is far more important than the team's victory or defeat, although this cannot be said.

After all, he is just a temporary worker with only a ten-day short contract.

He must first be able to play in the NBA.

In his NBA debut, Yue Yi scored 24 points, stunning everyone.

It made headlines in China and also had a small place in American basketball news.

The key to this performance was the three-point rain experience card.

This thing is really easy to use, as long as the shot is not too outrageous, the hit rate is almost 100%.

It’s a pity that the three-point rain experience card only has five shooting opportunities, which is why Yue Yi no longer chose to shoot but pass the ball when the Warriors were in high spirits.

However, after he attracted the firepower, the ball he passed created a lot of opportunities for his teammates. This is one of the roles of star players on the court.

Strong containment.

Without Yue Yi’s three-point rain, the Warriors would not have been able to close the score At one point, the score was even surpassed, and the game might even enter garbage time early.

In this game, Yue Yi scored 24 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 turnover, with a terrifyingly high hit rate. For a rookie, this debut was perfect. No. 1 pick Audi and No. 2 pick Durant all performed better.

But Yue Yi knew in his heart that it was impossible to maintain it. There was only one three-point rain experience card.

In this game broadcast live across the United States and China, this was also used on the cutting edge.

A guaranteed contract, there was no way to escape.

At the press conference after the game, Yue Yi was surrounded by reporters who wanted to interview him.

A reporter asked:"Yue, your shooting is so accurate, do you have any tricks?"

Yue Yi:"Train hard and stay focused, I think this is my trick."

Reporter:"Do you think you can keep this state?"

Yue Yi:"I will complete the tasks given to me by Tang, play hard, and shoot when I have the opportunity."

Chinese reporter:"Yue Yi, first of all, on behalf of the national fans, I would like to congratulate you. You scored 20+ points in your NBA debut, which is really amazing."

Yue Yi smiled and said,"I remember you. You interviewed me at the draft in New York. If I remember correctly, your wife had just given birth at that time. Your child should be a few months old now, haha."

The reporter smiled awkwardly. When Yue Yi threatened to win the best rookie of the season, he laughed out loud on the spot. Looking at his performance now, what's the point of winning the best rookie? He is fully capable of winning it.

""Pa" The reporter slapped himself directly,"I slapped him in the face."

The reporter wanted to hit him a few more times, but Yue Yi quickly stopped him.

They are all family members, and it was just a joke. Media people should not be easily offended.

"Brother, don't be like this, we are from the same place, we are working on the other side of the ocean, we should take care of each other in the future."

Yue Yi asked:"What's your name, let's leave contact information?"

""Good."

Yue Yi took the initiative to leave his contact information, which was a great thing for the reporter. He was one of the reporters sent by CTV to the United States, and his main task was to report on Yue Yi's games.

Among the three Chinese players, Yue Yi was the least impressive. He was just an undrafted player with a short contract of ten days. It was not certain whether he could play in the NBA.

The reporter was still regretting his bad luck, but after seeing Yue Yi's performance today, he had a promising future.

"My name is Fang Ming, and I will cause trouble to you in the future. Yue Yi smiled and said,"

It's easy to say. I will definitely cooperate with Reporter Fang in your interview. If I don't perform well in the future, I ask Reporter Fang to be merciful in both his words and in his writing."

Fang Min also smiled,"Easy to say, easy to say.""
