When the Lakers defeated the Mavericks in an away game, the duel between Yi Jianlian and Driver caused a great shock in the entire NBA.
This season, the UAE scored 40 points in a single game, and they also scored 30+ points in the last game against the Thunder.
But these performances are all points scored by Arab League as a supporting role. Just like in the NBA, there will always be role players who come out to score 40 or 50 points from time to time. These players have a good touch in this game, and if the opponent's defense does not pay enough attention, they can score very high points.
It doesn't mean that if you score 40+ or 50+ in the NBA, you are a star player. The key to identifying a star player is to watch the game.
It needs to be seen during the game whether this player has the ability to hold the ball, control the ball, digest the ball, and take shots, and whether he can shoulder the offensive responsibility of a team.
In this game against the Mavericks, Yi Jianlian performed perfectly. In this game against the Mavericks, Yi Jianlian fully displayed his offensive weapons and physical talents.
As a result, many Bucks fans, Nets fans, Wizards fans and Mavericks fans on the Internet broke the defense.
"I absolutely like Yi Jianlian's performance on the court. I think he still has a lot of room for improvement. He is fearless when playing and is also a good rebounder. If you let him play in the post, he can also do it. Such a player on the court A big man who can stretch the opponent's defense. His value is immeasurable and he is a player that the team must consider retaining. Mr. John Hardmon, all your evaluations of Yi have now been realized. Coach D Under the guidance of coach D, he has developed all his potential. Since you have seen Yi's future, why don't you keep him and focus on training? Why send him to the Nets?" This is a Bucks fan. .
"If kiki was still with the Nets, he would never have given Yi away. Yi would definitely grow up. After Prokhorov acquired the Nets, Kiki was forced to leave. In order to make room, he actually traded Yi for air. This This is the most shameful transaction in the history of the Nets!"
"I hate Prokhorov, I hate it very much. This Russian doesn't understand basketball at all!" This is a Nets fan.
The fans of the Wizards and Mavericks were also very defensive, but at that time, the UAE was already three-handed and four-handed. Anyone who knows the NBA knows that it is basically impossible for young players who have been given up by two teams in a row to obtain training resources.
Therefore, although Wizards and Mavericks fans break the defense, they can also understand the team's operations. The fans of the Bucks and Nets were really angry.
Bucks general manager John Hardmon was confused in the face of angry Bucks fans. It really feels like a pot came from the sky.
"John, do you really want to respond?" John Hardemon, who was inspecting the young Greek player Antetokounmpo, sighed.
After being fooled by the blame, John Hardmon actually had some regrets. Yi Jianlian was his favorite player back then.
Otherwise, he would not have taken a fancy to Yi Jianlian after missing out on Al Horford. However, the Bucks were in urgent need of results and immediate combat power.
At that time, the Bucks had two players with great potential in Villanueva and Yi Jianlian at the power forward position.
In addition, the Nets wanted Arab League by name at that time, so he actually had no choice at the time. For immediate combat effectiveness, Richard Jefferson can only send Yi Jianlian.
After all, Richard Jefferson was a star player in his prime and had proven himself in the playoffs.
A young rookie was exchanged for a 28-year-old star player who averaged 20+ per game in the playoffs and played in the finals.
Although it turned out that the deal was a failure, and the arrival of Richard Jefferson failed to achieve results for the Bucks.
That's why Bucks fans are so angry. For a failed trade, a potential rookie who could truly become Nowitzki was lost.
If he were asked to do it again, he would make this choice under the circumstances.
"Forget it, let them scold us. Our operations in the Bucks over the years have been too failed."
"Then, will it succeed this time?" John Hardmon was silent this time.
"It will definitely succeed!" Hardmon said firmly, looking at the young player who was as thin as a bamboo pole.
"This time, I will definitely not give up halfway!" Yi's tragedy must not happen again because of quick success and instant gain!
Faced with the anger of Bucks fans, Hardmon did not respond and scolded casually. Kiki Vandeweghe, the general manager of the Nets at the time and now the league's vice president, responded to him.
Nets fans know what happened that year, and it has nothing to do with Vandeweghe. It should be said that under Vandeweghe, Alian has always been reused and played the best season of his previous career.
If the Russian boss hadn't bought the Nets, maybe Yi Jianlian would have thrived in the Nets.
"I am very happy to see Yi grow up again with the Los Angeles Lakers. This not only proves that international players can continue to succeed in the NBA, but also proves that international coaches can achieve higher achievements in the NBA. Coach D is a Great coach, he showed me that Yi can reach higher heights. Maybe many people have made mistakes in Yi's case, but the fans should put aside all their unwillingness at this time and support Yi again in the setbacks. Stand up and applaud, and also applaud the greatness of Coach D. They have allowed us to witness an inspirational legend of the NBA." Kiki Vandeweghe's words were quite coherent.
In fact, needless to say, Vandeweghe said that at this time, public opinion across the United States was crazily praising Du Kang's ability to develop players.
Yi Jianlian, who once had great potential, once again realized his potential under Coach D. Iverson, McGrady, Kobe, these veterans can actually improve and move up under Coach D.
This is really amazing. Therefore, for a time, players, coaches, trainers and other professionals across the NBA were discussing this matter crazily.
On Twitter and in various basketball forums, various professionals are analyzing why Coach D is so capable of developing players.
In the end, everyone came to an almost common conclusion.
"Trust, Coach D has 100% trust in his players!"
"It's easy to say, but very difficult to do. Can you be like Coach D and rest Kobe, McGrady and Carter when facing the Mavericks for 100% trust? This is a key game for 20 consecutive wins. !”
"Can you use that method to break the world's prejudice against blacksmithing for Kobe's illusory possibility of improvement, and use that method to antagonize the world's public opinion for Kobe's sake?"
"Those who learn D will live, and those who imitate D will die. We can learn from Coach D, but we must not try to be like Coach D or do the same things as Coach D!" To put it simply, only Coach D in the world can do such a miracle. things.
Others can learn it, but cannot do it. This game between the Lakers and the Mavericks greatly improved Du Kang's reputation among the players.
Especially among young players. Previously, Du Kang liked to use 49-year-old mature men in the Lakers, which gave Du Kang the impression that he was the kind of head coach who had become too old.
No normal head coach would have so many veterans on the team. In the NBA, there is no such success story.
Even Popovich, who likes to use mature men the most, does not get to know the Spurs players right away. Duncan, Parker and Ginobili all became mature men after being used.
Therefore, Popovich still likes Shota. In short, thanks to the traffic brought by the four major guards, the duel between Yi Jianlian and Nowitzki was well known to audiences across the United States.
It also made UAE's growth in the Lakers well known throughout the league. In previous games with the Lakers, UAE was just a role player under the halo of superstar players such as Kobe, Nash, and Howard.
It's different now. He took on the Lakers' offense and defeated Nowitzki head-on. This is a truly star-level player!
If the value shown by the UAE in the past was at the 800 annual salary level, then the value shown in this game is at the maximum salary level.
Well, why is the gap so big? Why didn't the United Arab Emirates show the strength of the top salary level next to those stars?
Why does Du Kang want to win over Kobe, Carter, Tracy McGrady and others so that the United Arab Emirates can fully unleash their potential? This is mainly related to Arab League himself.
It's not Kobe and McGrady or Carter suppressing the United Arab Emirates. UAE's football intelligence is too low. Tactics don’t run.
Can't cooperate with teammates. Playing pick-and-rolls with Nash is the only cooperation that the UAE can do well.
Even when playing a pick-and-roll with Nash, Ah Lian felt completely confused, and sometimes the effect was not good. Either he couldn't block people, or Ah Lian's movement was in the wrong direction.
If Du Kang hadn't forcibly enhanced the offensive attributes of Arab League, his pick-and-roll cooperation with Nash would not have been successful.
Arab's offensive ability in the pick-and-roll is A+, but the power shown by him and Nash is actually only A-.
It requires constant simulation to develop A-level or A+-level strength. To fight an old Garnett, you need to simulate three games before you can kill Garnett. Garnett will kill him in the other two games. This should not be done at all.
If Alian is still the player whose pick-and-roll offensive ability is only A- or even B+, and he and Nash play pick-and-roll, the power they can display may be only B, or even B-.
In a team like the Lakers that is aiming for a championship, any offensive tactic that is less powerful than a- is not allowed to exist.
Therefore, if it were not for raising the UAE's pick-and-roll offense to A+, Du Kang would not dare to let the UAE play at all.
Nowitzki is the template for the UAE. Nowitzki's tactical literacy, his ability to pick and roll for his teammates on the court, cover, pass, cooperate, pass and run, the United Arab Emirates can't even see the tail lights.
This is how Nowitzki perfectly combines his personal abilities with the strength of the team. So does Duncan.
Therefore, the teams of Duncan and Nowitzki have always had a very good record when they were at their peak. This is also the reason why Nowitzki was able to perform a miracle in 2011.
Did Nowitzki have a high personal offensive shooting percentage in 2011? Not that high, but his offensive threat is very high. He has completely transformed his offensive threat into the team's power, which is amazing.
After all, Nowitzki was taught by Nelson step by step, and the UAE does not have this condition. Du Kang has been thinking about how to improve the Arab League's football intelligence and tactical literacy.
But Ah Lian is not young now. Furthermore, his own tactical literacy is not that high. Even Nelson can not cultivate Arab Lian's tactical literacy in a year or two.
Therefore, through cooperation, Ah Lian gives the impression that he is a high-quality role player with strong personal abilities.
Only when he plays as a star core like he did with the Mavericks can he unleash his full strength. This is definitely a waste of the power of the United Arab Emirates.
"What a pity." This is really a pity. When the Arab League was young, they would play domestically. Hongyuan was already considered the best team in the country, but the coach's technical and tactical standards were still not high.
When he came to the NBA, he couldn't understand tactics in the first place, so he was always wandering around, and his own personality was not lively enough.
In addition, most of the head coaches who followed him were young and ordinary coaches like Frank, and they did not encounter a master coach like Nelson.
No matter how hard Ah Lian trains himself, it is of no use. So Du Kang has been really having a headache before.
He doesn't have much mp this season, and the top priority to save mp is to unlock Mai Zi's seal and restore Carter's knee.
This season, Du Kang is not sure whether Maizi's seal can be unlocked or whether Carter's knee can recover.
Therefore, as one of the youngest players on the team, Yi Jianlian's role is very important. Du Kang definitely doesn’t want Arab League to be just a sideshow.
Du Kang definitely hopes that the Arab League can cooperate with Nash, Kobe, Howard, and Iverson.
In this way, the Lakers will have more guarantees in the playoffs. It can't be that Kobe plays for half a court, Allen plays for one quarter, and Yi Jianlian plays for another quarter.
As for the rebounding style, it works well against young teams like Ibaka and the Thunder, but is it still useful against Duncan and the Spurs?
Therefore, you have to use all the strength of your thighs, and hugging your thighs will give you the most sense of security. If you want to bring out the full strength of UAE and Nash, you need to improve UAE's golf intelligence and tactical literacy.
Led the Lakers to victory in four consecutive away games. After coaching the Lakers, he led the team to a 20-game winning streak.
The Lakers, who were originally ranked 13th in the Western Conference with 17 wins and 25 losses, jumped to sixth place in the Western Conference with 37 wins and 25 losses after 20 consecutive victories.
When Du Kang returned to Los Angeles from Dallas with the Lakers, he received the warmest welcome. Not only Jim Shu, but even Aunt Jenny came to the airport to welcome Du Kang and the Lakers back.
Aunt Jenny hopes that Du Kang will fail to win the championship this season. But, Aunt Jenny doesn’t want Du Kang to get out now.
From the beginning, I wanted to have Du Kang. After arriving, I wanted Du Kang and Jim Shu to get out. Now I want to have Du Kang again.
Aunt Jenny's mentality towards Du Kang has been changing. Well, I can only say that women are so fickle.
"Coach D, regarding Mayfair, I can only say I'm sorry. I didn't know about his columns on ESPN and the Los Angeles Times." As a female Aquaman, it is difficult to determine what Aunt Jenny's feelings for Mayfair Jackson are. of.
Anyone who knows Aunt Jenny knows that she is a woman who has even played with male idols like Rodman. Well, Rodman is really that kind of very popular male idol in the United States.
If we were in a harem at a certain point, Rodman would be the kind of hot-tempered middle-aged girl, and her ex-husband would be a top male god like Madonna. This was the case at a certain point 10 years ago. The character is very popular.
Aunt Jenny only played with such a dazzling male god Rodman for a short period of time before getting tired of it.
It’s as if after collecting the illustrations, that’s it. But for Mayfair... If Mayfair corresponds to a certain point, it is a super 'lady' who is in charge of a wealthy family. Although she is older, she is still very beautiful. This person was very beautiful at a certain point before 2007. Hot, what kind of agent, what kind of young man, etc.
Aunt Jenny is a Neptune who wanders around in the grass and does whatever it takes. Aunt Jenny must have love for a 'lady' like Mayfair, but with Jenny's character, she may have long been tired of her love for Mayfair.
Now it's more of a combination of interests. Love is this kind of union. Before the death of old Bass, the two got married in January 2013, which was also a union.
Now that Mayfair has suffered such a setback, she has completely lost the value of joining forces with the Lakers. Aunt Jenny's choice to jump and cut is actually in line with her personality.
Du Kang even secretly speculated in his heart. Maybe it won't be long before Aunt Jenny is divorcing Mayfair Jackson.
So, poor Faile, not only was she prostituted by Jerry Buss for nothing, but she was also prostituted by Aunt Jenny for so many years?
Thinking about it, I feel really sorry for Mayfair. All I can say is that Mr. Jerry Buss is really awesome. His merits were passed on to Aunt Jenny and Jim Mouse respectively, and Aunt Jenny and Jim Mouse inherited all of them except Neptune, and only half of the other merits.
Aunt Jenny inherited an ingenuity and unscrupulousness. And Jimmie... well, let's not talk about Jimmie. Talking too much would be disrespectful to Jimmie and make Jimmie unintelligent.
Look at the way Aunt Jenny looked at her at this time. Du Kang is now very doubtful, in the eyes of Aunt Jenny, is he the kind of little lolita who has a beautiful appearance, a sweet heart, and a top-notch intelligence?
Has Aunt Jenny never collected illustrated books like his? Okay, just kidding.
He has no interest in Aunt Jenny.
"Jenny, Jim asked me to come over, excuse me." Du Kang came to Jim Shumao after declining a bunch of invitations from Aunt Jenny.
Compared with the aggressive Aunt Jenny, Jim is much more at ease around him. When Du Kang is by Aunt Jenny's side, he can really be described as a man with a ray of light on his back.
"Du, I can't help you with the game. You handle the internal matters of the team yourself. As for the external matters, I won't let those people affect you and your team."
"Thank you." As expected, Jim was still reassuring. Moreover, if Aunt Jenny takes over, there will probably be a king named Kurt Rambis on top of him, the godfather of the Lakers.
In short, during the away week, Du Kang was away from home and rarely had peace and quiet. As soon as he returned to Los Angeles, he and the Lakers players had to face one after another interference from Aunt Jenny.
Not to mention him, Ah Lian, who became the protagonist of the team for the first time when playing against the Mavericks, was also invited to his home by Aunt Jenny.
As the vice president of the team, it is an honor to invite players to your home. But……
“Jenny, these guys are so ignorant of current affairs!”
"It's all the other way around! Do you really think Coach D can lead them to the championship this season?!"
"None of them can stay in the future!" Linda Rambis, the Lakers' executive director of special projects next to Aunt Jenny, looked angry.
After Coach D became the head coach of the Lakers, the people on Aunt Jenny's side felt so aggrieved, and everyone had a lot of resentment in their hearts.
They invited those guys in a humble way just now. Except for Howard who paused and hesitated to reject Aunt Jenny, everyone else almost avoided her.
Within the Lakers, they have a lot of power. But within the Lakers, the young coach D has made them monolithic.
"Did Mayfair ever do this with the Lakers? It's a pity that such a person is not of use to me."
"..." Linda knew that Aunt Jenny's addiction to collecting illustrated books had returned. After such a long and difficult away schedule, Du Kang directly gave the Lakers a day and a half off.
Everyone needs to rest now and go home to receive praise and vanity. Look at the praise they are getting from the national media right now.
"Ah Lian, take this." Ah Lian, who was originally taken to Happy by Howard, was directly stopped by Du Kang.
When Du Kang handed the cyan wristband to Ah Lian, Ah Lian was shocked.
"Coach, this, I, I have it too?!" Ah Lian looked at the cyan wristband on his hand. There was a line of English words written in gold on the wristband.
Translated is 'spirituality! '
"Coach, where's mine? Where's mine?!" Before Ah Lian could recover from the surprise, Howard next to him really couldn't stand it anymore.
Now he even has a little brother, when will his come? Du Kang didn't answer, just smiled and took out a green wristband from his pocket.
This time, Du Kang did not put it on, but showed it to Howard in front of him, then took it back and put it in his pocket.
"Dwight, yours is ready." Du Kang patted Ah Lian on the shoulder.
"You guys have fun." After saying that, Du Kang turned and left. The excited Arab Lian and the equally excited Howard were left behind.
"Yi, I saw it!"
"What?"
"I saw the wristband the coach prepared for me, and it said 'honesty' on it!"
"……"honest? A Lian was dumbfounded.
"Yi, don't you think I am a loyal and honest person? Sure enough, only the coach in this world knows me best!"
"..." Loyal and honest? Ah Lian looked at the text on the wristband on his hand. Spirituality? Ah Lian seemed to understand something.
Give it to Nash, Kobe, Carter, Tracy McGrady, and Iverson. Humility, sacrifice, heroism, piety, pride...the words above are all tributes to them.
For young players like him and Howard. It is the expectation for the two of them. His basketball lacks spirituality, so the coach hopes he can become more spiritual.
Howard lacks honesty, so hopefully Howard will be more honest in the future. Coach, you really have good intentions.
"Yi, let's go to Happy now. I feel full of strength now!"... After returning from Happy with Howard, it was already early in the morning.
Although the aesthetics are a bit strange. But if you accept that setting. It's still fun. With the lights off, it's actually the same.
As long as your imagination is good enough, you can also think that she is a fairy sister. After returning to the hotel, after washing up, Ah Lian fell into a deep sleep.
In the dream, he felt that when he dreamed back to the 2007 draft tonight, he would definitely be selected by the Warriors.
"Ding, do you want to understand the meaning of basketball?"
"..."
"Do you want to know the meaning of life?"
"..."
"Do you want to truly live?"
"..." Ah Lian was a little dumbfounded. Of course I want to live. Do you want to die? What’s wrong with tonight’s dream?
The scene turned and it was indeed the draft. But it's not the 2007 draft, it's the 1999 draft!
"With the seventh pick in the second round, the Dallas Mavericks selected a player from China, Wang Zhizhi." Arab League looked up.
Is Brother Wang here? Was Brother Wang present at the 1999 draft? Then, he realized that all the spectators in the stands were looking at him.
Ah Lian looked at his hands. Weak, not much muscle. Could it be?
"I dreamed that I turned into Brother Wang?!"......
"Wang, you are so powerful, but I will not admit defeat. Next season, I will become the team's starting power forward!" Looking at the young Nowitzki in front of him, Yi Jianlian was silent.
"Dirk, Wang, don't talk, the coach is going to talk about tactics." Nash secretly patted the two of them on the back.
At this time, a middle-aged handsome Chinese guy walked into the training ground.
"Coach..." Seeing this middle-aged version of Du Kang, Yi Jianlian didn't know how to complain. In his dream, he became Brother Wang and came to the Mavericks in 1999. He got all of Brother Wang's basketball memories. At the same time, he also lost his super-talented body and became weak.
And his coach in the Lakers, Du Kang. But became the head coach of the Mavericks in 1999. And it’s the middle-aged version.
Am I dreaming? I seem to be really dreaming......
"Ding, make sure to use the Wang Zhizhi player dream card. Your player Yi Jianlian's ability will be adjusted to 88, and his potential will be adjusted to 94." 8 hours later.
"Ding, your player Yi Jianlian's ability has been adjusted to 89, please check it carefully."......The next day.
Ah Lian opened his eyes. What a long dream, what a real dream. What a pity. In the first season of his career, he reached the playoffs with Nowitzki, Nash and the others, but fell to the OK Lakers in the first round.
Was that really a dream? Thinking about the tactics the coach, Nash, and Nowitzki talked about in the dream.
Thinking about the cooperation between myself, Nowitzki and Nash in the dream. Everything seemed to be happening before my eyes.
Is this really a dream? .........The Lakers training ground on the afternoon of March 8th. Nash frowned.
"Yi, has our tacit understanding gotten better?"
"Steve, you are mature."
"..." Nash was dumbfounded. …………
"Is this the power of gold-level rewards?" Du Kang had a smile on his face. The thighs are indeed thicker!
.........The first update of today.
