Rebirth of Hayes Cyclone

Chapter 366 [Jiangnan] (Extra Part [-])

China has two stars who have made a name for themselves in the NBA.One is Yao Ming and the other is Yi Jianlian.The strength of these two may not be considered top in the NBA, but in Asia, they have almost no rivals.As long as the two of them play together, it is impossible for China to lose in Asia.

The strange thing is that they have won many championships for China, which should be the pride of the Chinese people, but the scolding has never stopped.Yao Hei and Yi Hei are mostly from China.

Especially Yi Jianlian.Yao Ming has won the championship with his strength and won the finals MVP once.However, Yi Jianlian passed by the Bobcats because of "playing big names".That idiot manager Fei Gen didn't know where to cheat him, but Yi Jianlian had to bear the consequences of transferring to the Warriors.

However, the transfer to the Warriors Yi Jianlian is also a blessing in disguise.The Warriors are weak inside, he got a lot of playing time, entered a tactical system that suits his own style, and he also got a lot of shots.As a result, Yi Jianlian played outstanding statistics. Although the Warriors have not made the playoffs in the past four years, his performance has been recognized by many people. In the summer of 2011, in order to make up for the vacancy left by Stoudemire, the Suns signed a high-paying long-term contract with Yi Jianlian.

Whether Yi Jianlian in his previous life can stay in the NBA after the Wizards contract expires is a question.His performance is much better now because he played with confidence in the Warriors.On the court, confidence is very important.Yi Jianlian's physical fitness is outstanding among Asians, and he is not much worse than Bosh in the NBA, but Bosh is stronger than him. Where is the strength?The main thing is confidence.Bosh will quickly make a choice after taking the ball, and he is very determined to shoot or break through, but Yi Jianlian will hesitate. What if he doesn't make a shot?What should I do if my breakthrough is interrupted and my teammates blame me?With such hesitation, his movements were a little stiff.

加盟了太阳的易建联状态达到了巅峰，老将纳什虽然防守烂，传球意识却是控卫中的第一。在纳什的帮助下，易建联2011-2012赛季场均拿下17.5分8.1篮板2.2助攻1.8盖帽。姚明在数据上也已经逊色易建联了。

This year, Yi Jianlian was selected as the starter for the All-Star Game, and his outstanding performance rekindled the enthusiasm of Chinese fans to vote.The Suns made it to the playoffs. Although they were eliminated by the Trail Blazers in the first round, Yi Jianlian had a successful season.

After the season, Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming prepared for the London Olympics together.

Hayes will stay at home with his wife and children, and will not represent the US team in the Olympics this time.In addition to Hayes, other old stars have also withdrawn from the national team.The U.S. team is composed of newcomers such as Derrick Rose, Kevin Durant, John Wall, and Blake Griffin.

Before Yao Ming left, Hayes sent his blessings, wishing the Chinese team a breakthrough in the Olympics.

Now Yi Jianlian's performance has long been beyond Hayes' imagination.Hayes also admitted that as long as Yi Jianlian relaxes and plays hard, he is a difficult player to deal with.He has a good mid-range and long-range shot, moves fast and is good at fast breaks.After several years of training, his body has also become much stronger. Although he is a little disadvantaged when dealing with some powerful insiders, he can play an unexpected role in defending technical power forwards such as Bosh and Garnett. They also often send out beautiful big hats during the defense.

Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming joined the Chinese national team to participate in the Olympic men's basketball training. Their opponents included France, Australia, Russia, Puerto Rico and other teams.

The goal of this year's Chinese national team is still to qualify for the group stage, which is the top 8.The strength of this national team is very strong. In addition to Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, there are also former NBA players Wang Zhizhi and Sun Yue.

If it's just these four, the Chinese men's basketball team may not be stronger than the BJ Olympic Games.The reason they're expected to be high is because of a point guard.With a height of 192cm and a weight of 87kg, Jiangnan is an 18-year-old player of the Jiangsu team.

Jiangnan was selected into the Jiangsu team from Guanyun County High School in Jiangsu last year. After trial training, he quickly entered the first team. After only playing 5 games, he became the team's starting point guard on behalf of veteran Hu Xuefeng.His passing awareness is excellent, and he is proficient in breaking through and passing the ball.His physical fitness may not be as good as Chen Jianghua's, and he can't play difficult dunks, but Chen Jianghua is a few blocks behind him when it comes to organizing offense.In the first season of the CBA league, he scored 14.2 points, 3 rebounds and 6.1 assists, becoming the assist leader in the CBA league.

After a period of training, both the players and coaches of the national team are optimistic about Jiangnan, he is much better than Liu Wei.

If a team wants to win, it must first have someone who is good at organizing offenses. The insiders of the Chinese team have advantages in every international competition.But the point guard is too bad.Liu Wei is not like a point guard at all, he has poor breakthrough, poor passing awareness, poor ball control, and will be paralyzed when encountering the opponent's frontcourt press...

In terms of organizing the offense, Liu Wei is only good at lobbing Yao Ming. Apart from this, the Chinese team's most common offense is that several people pass the ball back and forth on the outside.The young man Jiangnan is different. He dares to break through through screens, hits the inside line with his own speed, and attracts the defense of the opponent's tall players. He will quickly pass the ball out.
The way Jiangnan plays is to imitate Hayes.The basic skills of ball control are solid, the speed is not particularly fast, but very calm, master the rhythm, and do it before thinking when passing the ball.Hayes started to improve after listening to the words of "Magic" Johnson, but Jiangnan realized the truth by himself.

The head coach of the Chinese team, Deng Huade, admired Jiangnan very much and let him start from the first friendly match.

In the hotel, Jiangnan shared a room with Yao Ming, which he requested on his own initiative. The leaders of the team also hoped to cultivate a good seed, and wanted Yao Ming, the big brother of the national team, to give him some advice.

"Brother Yao, do you think I can play in the NBA now?" Jiang Jiang asked this question after 10 days of training.

"I think it's okay. You're playing the right way. It's the way the Bobcats are. Keep at this level and you'll be eligible for the NBA draft next year. I think what you should focus on now is long-range shooting and defense. Your physicality is too bad. If you can't practice confrontation, you need to be stronger on the offensive end. Like our team's Curry, his defense is poor, but his shooting is very accurate, so he can get a lot of playing time. The same is true for Nash, you can be like the two of them development direction." Yao Ming said with a smile.He thinks highly of this little brother.

"If I can improve myself, can I go to the Bobcats? I mean, don't participate in the draft, and join as a free agent?" Jiangnan asked again, his eyes revealing expectations.He wanted to know what it was like to play with a player like Hayes, and it was great just watching the Bobcats.

Not participating in the draft?Yao Ming was stunned for a moment.If Bobcats really wanted Jiangnan, this would be an opportunity.Jason Kidd has just retired, and Billups renewed his contract with the Bobcats with a basic salary, but he is old and his state is not as good as before.Bobcats point guard is currently a short board.In the draft, they took a guard with the 30th pick in the first round, but the guy named Sean Snow was not qualified at all.

"Let me discuss it with Hayes. He has something to say at the top of the club. Maybe you can join the NBA next season. If you sign up for next year's draft, it will be more guaranteed, but if you want to enter the Bobcats It's difficult, you have to think about it carefully." Yao Ming reminded kindly.If you have joined the NBA as a non-draft, you will not be able to participate in the draft in the future.Very few people do.

"I didn't want to participate in the draft because I was worried about getting into a bad team. And I was ready. My contract with the Jiangsu team was only signed for one year. They urged me to renew my contract throughout the season, saying it was a high-salary training. The core of the future actually wants to trap me. Now I have not renewed my contract on the grounds of being loaned to the national team. I am not doing it for money, but I just don’t want to waste too much time in a low-level league like the CBA. Even if I can’t reach the NBA level, I I also hope that I can play in the Development League there to improve myself! What I want to do now is go to the United States!" Jiang Jiang said to death.He is an ambitious man.Apart from representing the national team this time, the most important thing for him is to build a good relationship with Yao Ming. He hopes to get Yao Ming's help to leave the CBA and come to the United States as soon as possible.

Yao Ming likes this kind of self-confident person very much. As long as he works harder than others, he will surely become a hero in the future.He stopped talking nonsense, and immediately took out his mobile phone to make a long-distance call to Hayes, and briefly talked about the situation in Jiangnan.

After listening to Yao Ming's introduction, Hayes was also very interested. "Yao, I will tell the bosses that we will watch the Chinese team's Olympic games. If this kid is as good as you said, we will definitely sign him and train him. Sean, the 30th pick, is too bad. Xi Jin Adams and Jordan are also struggling with the point guard. Let him find an agent, get his passport ready to come to the United States, and participate in our preseason workout!"

As soon as Hayes heard about Jiangnan's situation, he thought of his past self.He also wanted to go to the NBA back then, but he had no chance. Jiang Nan was selected into the CBA in his second year of high school.The matter of Jiangnan going to the United States was settled like this.

Perhaps because the dream of NBA is about to come true, Jiangnan tried his best in the London Olympics and became a blockbuster!The pick-and-roll cooperation between him and Yi Jianlian enriched the Chinese team's offensive routines.Yao Ming's low-post singles also made it very difficult for opponents to defend.In the first game, the Chinese team upset Australia led by Bogut 86 to 84.Jiangnan had 14 points and 7 assists, Yi Jianlian had 18 points and 11 rebounds, and Yao Ming contributed a team-high 22 points and 6 rebounds.

In the second game, China lost to the powerful Spain, but Jiangnan did not fall behind in the matchup with the Spanish golden boy Rubio, contributing 12 points, 5 assists and 2 steals.

In the third game, China defeated the German team with Kaman and Nowitzki. In the fourth game, they beat the African champion Angola 104 to 81, advancing ahead of schedule with three wins and one loss.China lost to Argentina in the last game, but it doesn't matter anymore.

Knockout China VS Greece.The two teams have met in international competitions many times, and China is at a disadvantage.

Greece still used the tried-and-tested frontcourt press against China, but this time it failed. Jiangnan and Yi Jianlian cooperated in the pick-and-roll in the backcourt, leading the ball steadily across the half.

This Greek team is far from the one that was runner-up in the World Championships that year. Several stars in the team are from European leagues, they are older, and their condition has declined seriously.Jiangnan beat the veteran Diamandis, known as the "Diamond Guard" in Greece, and Yi Jianlian also scored a double-double.

The overall strength of Greece is still slightly dominant, leading by 2 points at the end of the game.

Relying on Yao Ming's screen, Jiangnan broke into the inside line and failed to make a layup, but caused a foul by the opponent and got two free throws.There was less than two seconds left.

If one miss is over, two free throws can still play overtime.At this time, the pressure on Jiangnan was too great.He is only 18 years old, but he has experienced such a big scene, holding a basketball and feeling that his vision has narrowed.

But his touch is still very good, the first free throw hit.As soon as the second free throw was shot, he knew it was broken, the ball was a little bit off, and he used more strength.This goal must not be scored, and I will become the sinner of the men's basketball team not being able to enter the top 4.

As expected, the ball hit the basket and popped out. At this time, Yi Jianlian rushed into the penalty area, leaped high, caught the basketball with both hands, and dunked it into the basket. 82 to 81, the Chinese team beat Greece!

The Chinese men's basketball team has finally achieved a breakthrough in international competitions.

When the reporter interviewed how Yi Jianlian seized this opportunity, Yi Jianlian said with a smile: "Chew the green arrow, take it easy!"

reporter:"……"

In September 2012, Jiangnan went to the United States to participate in the Bobcats' summer training camp and represented the Bobcats in the preseason.He performed well in the preseason and won a four-year, $9 million partially guaranteed contract, with the Bobcats having team options for the last two years.

Jiangnan became the third point guard for the Bobcats, and a year later he became the youngest championship player in NBA history.Known as the "Chinese Golden Boy"!
