After another round, when Yi Jianlian ran to the top of the arc without the ball and hit a three-pointer, the game almost lost its suspense.
Now the Trail Blazers' morale has greatly increased, while the Denverites have already lost their morale.
Seven and a half minutes later, the Trail Blazers bench was filled with cheers and everyone was applauding him. Yi Jianlian, who scored 21 points, enjoyed this atmosphere very much.
After three quarters, it was 69:48, and the score difference was fixed at 21 points.
Facing the Denver Nuggets, who are ranked lower, although Aldridge is missing, the Trail Blazers are unstoppable on the road. Someone can always stand up and defeat the counterattack of the Nuggets players.
"There are no more miracles, we have already lost this game!"
The home commentator shook his head sadly. He didn't know how the Nuggets, who were still in the middle of the top eight in the Western Conference last year, would be like this in the new season.
In the last quarter, the main players of both sides did not play much, and it was changed to a competition between substitute players. In terms of the thickness of the bench in the quarter, how could the Nuggets compare to the Trail Blazers, not to mention Yi Jianlian, who was in good condition.
In the final quarter, Yi Jianlian made 3 of 4 shots and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 8 points and finished with 29 points and 8 rebounds, second only to the night when the Nets scored 31 points on 12 of 16 shots and helped the Pistons defeat the Pistons 118:110.
This is a milestone night in Yi Jianlian's career!
107 to 85, the Trail Blazers beat their opponents by 22 points.
At the end of the game, Wang Zelin stood up from the bench, completely ignoring the murderous stares from the audience in the Denver Plateau Devils home stands, ran to the field, and hugged Yi Jianlian.
In this situation, Nuggets fans could only watch silently as their opponents pretended to be 13 on the court, unable to do anything. The same goes for the Nuggets players, who disappeared silently into the tunnel with their heads lowered. They didn't want to see their home court turn into a stage for a new group of people.
However, this is the eternal theme of the NBA.
Even the brilliant 1996 golden generation has been gradually replaced by the 03 platinum generation headed by Zhan, Wei and Bo.
Players of the new era are rising in the league. How long can the glory of players of the old era last?
Ty Lawson was a little unwilling. His performance today was really not bad. He made 7 of 16 three-pointers and 2 of 5 three-pointers. He also scored 3 of 8 free throws. He scored 21 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal.
Who dares to say that a player with 20+5+5 in a single game performed poorly?
But at this time, he can only sincerely envy the Blazers players who are crazy and clear.
There were once countless black defenders who regarded Allen Iverson as their idol in life. When they were young and impoverished, they could only place their hope of changing their destiny in basketball.
Through basketball, they got closer to their idols step by step. When they arrived in the NBA, they all thought they would become the next Allen Iverson...
It wasn't until later that I discovered that there is only one Iverson in NBA history, and there is only one who is the strongest 183!
He hates it, why did God give him outstanding basketball talent, but only gave him a height of 180cm? Why can't I grow 10 centimeters taller?
There is no way, who makes reality always so cruel.
Soon, there were no Nuggets players in the venue, and the audience in the stands gradually dispersed. The only ones left on the court were the reveling Blazers players and the media eager to prepare interviews.
"Mr. Stotts, your players are very good!" Brian Shaw came to shake hands with Terry Stotts after the game and complimented him again. The latter smelled a strong sour smell.
Terry Stotts smiled and replied: "Thanks for the affirmation, man! I think these boys will be very happy if they know that you praise them so much."
"Don't be so proud. Next time we meet, you won't expect to win so easily."
Brian Xiao waved his hand, turned and left.
Although tonight's game was held in the Denver Plateau, other Trail Blazers players still prepared some "unexpected surprises" for Yi Jianlian. When Yi Jianlian returned to the locker room after accepting all interviews, several large buckets of ice water were poured on him. On him.
Considering Yi Jianlian's height, they even asked the staff for a ladder. He is definitely a good teammate!
After being poured with several buckets of water, the heat in Yi Jianlian's body dissipated instantly. When he saw Wang Zelin and Batum on the ladder, his expression management broke his defense on the spot and he burst out laughing.
After confirming that the ice water had been used up, Terry Stotts slowly came over and informed: "Go back to the original hotel and rest. Once you have rested, we will return to Portland immediately. I don't want to find anyone sneaking out tonight, can you do it?"
Every time the Nuggets play away from home, they will experience altitude sickness. Most of the players are not in the mood to go out.
Back at the hotel, Wang Zelin and Yi Jianlian were in a private room.
"Brother A Lian..."
"Zelin..."
The two spoke at the same time, and the atmosphere became awkward.
Wang Zelin took the lead and said, "You go ahead and say it."
"Well," Yi Jianlian paused, and then said seriously: "Thank you very much for today!"
"Hi! It's nothing," Wang Zhilin waved his hand: "If you really want to thank me, just train with me next."
Yi Jianlian looked surprised: "You said Portland at 4 o'clock in the morning, weren't you kidding?"
"Otherwise?" Wang Zelin asked back.
"Actually, it's because training alone is too boring, so I want to find someone to accompany me."
"What about the rest of the team?"
"Forget it, how many of them do you think are the right ones? If you don't mind, I'll go back to Portland to rest for a day tomorrow, and we'll officially start the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, eh, wait, when did I agree?" Yi Jianlian was slightly startled.
"Huh! Huh! Huh..."
There was already a snoring sound coming from the bed on the left.
"...Scoundrel!"
With a snort, Yi Jianlian fell on the bed and fell asleep quickly, but the smile at the corner of his mouth seemed to tell him that he was having a sweet dream.
at the same time.
The news that Yi Jianlian scored 29 points in the game between the Trail Blazers and the Nuggets gradually became known to more people.
Philadelphia.
John Wall, who scored 26 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals on 10 of 19 shots from the field, looked at the reporters in front of him in surprise.
"29 points? Tianchaoyi? Are you sure you read that correctly?"
He repeatedly emphasized, and reporters also affirmed repeatedly. Now, Wall's depression due to the team's defeat in Philadelphia completely turned into surprise.
"This guy is so fierce now!"
It's no wonder Wall has such thoughts.
He had worked with Yi Jianlian when he was a rookie. In his opinion, the latter was just a boring gourd. Apart from training, training, and training again in private, he did not know how to play with his teammates, which made him curious about the Chinese players. Became senseless.
That year, Yi Jianlian averaged only 5.6 points and 3.9 rebounds per game. He was just a role player. However, wherever he went, he was surrounded by countless flashes of light, which made John Wall, the proud man of heaven, quite dissatisfied.
In 2011, Yi Jianlian joined the Mavericks and played for one year before leaving the NBA. After that, Wall never paid attention to his former teammate until he joined the Portland Trail Blazers where Wang Zelin worked some time ago.
At that time, Wall's reaction was probably "Oh, it's him...forget it, he's just like that anyway". Now he is really shocked by Yi Jianlian.
On November 2nd, the league arranged 13 games, and most of the players in the league were playing.
Energy Arena, home of the Thunder.
Durant led the team against the Timberwolves with a single core, but the ending was shocking.
Durant made 4 of 11 shots from the field, 1 of 6 three-pointers, and 4 of 5 free throws to score 13 points, barely scoring in double figures.
Ibaka made 3 of 13 shots and scored 9 points. The biggest helper around him was undercover throughout the game.
As for the second brother Westbrook, don’t mention it.
Durant, who lost the game, soon learned the news. Like John Wal-Mart, he was also stunned and showed the same shocked expression.
After all, the rookies debuted in the same class. The young Du Xiaoshuai was quite concerned about Yi Jianlian, and Yi Jianlian played really well for a while. Until the latter got worse and worse, the business slowly disappeared in the NBA...
Then there is no more.
However, Durant has grown a lot after all, and the loss did not affect his mood during the interview: "Chinese Yi, right? I know him. Yi and I are rookies in the same class. It will be a good thing for Yi night, congratulations to him!”
Anyway, a few nice words won't kill anyone.
Miami.
James played like he was being knocked down tonight.
The first three quarters were generally stateless, and they forgot to execute the first quarter. In the last quarter of the third quarter, almost eight seconds were left unguarded. Although they scored 13 points in the final quarter and led the team to a 14:3 climax, Still lost to the Nets by one point.
James knew the news: "Cool! Man, Tianchaoyi is a very good big man. I very much look forward to playing with him one day..."
reporter:"……"
Los Angeles.
The Spurs face the Lakers at home.
This game is different from the previous three guys. Kobe's decline in strength, which did not suffer from a ruptured Achilles tendon, is still within control.
35-year-old Kobe + 33-year-old Gasol + 39-year-old Nash vs. 37-year-old Duncan + 36-year-old Yaodao + 31-year-old Ginobili...
For many older fans, this kind of game is one less game to watch, which makes it no less popular than the game of the defending champion Heat and the game of the Portland Trail Blazers, which has two Chinese players.
In the end, Kobe made 16 of 31 shots, 3 of 7 three-pointers, 8 of 11 free throws, and scored 43 points, once again explaining what it means to be a Spurs killer.
101:95, Black Mamba led the Purple and Gold Army to win this focus game at the Spurs' home court!
Kobe, who had won the hard-fought victory, showed a rare smile when he saw the Lakers ranked fifth in the Western Conference with 4 wins and 2 losses:
"Oh, Yi is great. He will only be 31 years old in two years. If there is a chance, I am very willing to work with him in Los Angeles! I just hope he will not dislike me as a 37-year-old man, hahahaha... "
Although he won today, Kobe still saw problems within the team - the core lineup was too old.
The starting point guard is approaching 40, and the youngest Pau Gasol is already 33. He still has fighting ability, but he knows that the decline in his competitive status is inevitable.
The Black Mamba doesn't want to spend his time on the court in a haze, he also wants to win the sixth championship in his career!
Therefore, whenever there are young people showing great potential recently, Kobe will be the first to express his goodwill.
Different paths, same journey!
Although Kobe's strength in this time and space has not declined as seriously as a result of the rupture of his Achilles tendon, once a person reaches a certain age, his morale will inevitably decline, and his standards for looking at people and things will naturally not be as high as when he was young.
…
…
…
Early the next morning, after a night of preparation and a lot of reports from major media, the news that Yi Jianlian scored 29 points in the Denver Nuggets game in his first start had spread throughout the United States, and the popularity was as high as At the age of 35, Kobe Bryant scored 43 points to tie the game.
Sometimes, the energy burst out by role players is also immeasurable.
For a whole morning, all the news was related to these two things.
At this moment, everyone in Washington, Oklahoma, and Miami breathed a tacit sigh of relief: It seems that they don’t have to be severely criticized by the unscrupulous media...
+3!
The news later spread back to China.
There is no doubt that this is something that all fans and all basketball people will be excited about.
Zhang Lianda said: "After two years of wasted time, Arab League once again proved himself in the NBA. He fully has the strength to gain a foothold in the NBA, but... Kobe is 35 years old and facing the league's top defensive team, the Spurs can score 43 It’s really touching!”
Su Wei, editor-in-chief of "Basketball Pioneer News": "You can always think about the United Arab Emirates. There is no doubt that Chinese basketball will have another terrifying guy in the international arena!"
Deputy Editor Yang Yi: "As everyone hoped, Arab League seized the opportunity to start this time. I don't know what he went through, but I know that with him and the king here, the rise of Tianchao Basketball is just around the corner!"
It's no wonder that these basketball people are so excited. It's really that the hopes that Yi Jianlian was given were too high.
Once, he was regarded as the only player who could carry the banner of China's men's basketball team after Yao Ming retired, although now this historical task has been taken over by Wang Zelin who came out of nowhere. But they also know that Wang Zelin can't be the only one who has a long life, but there must be more people.
The firepower of the Tianchao men’s basketball team is passed down from generation to generation. From the 1994 golden generation to the 2008 golden generation, both generations have completed the tasks assigned to them by history and led Tianchao basketball to the world of basketball again and again. Attack at the top.
The only regret is that neither generation has achieved the breakthrough of ranking among the top eight in the world and winning a medal, whether it is the World Championships or the Olympics.
When it comes to Yi Jianlian and Wang Zelin, the firepower of the Chinese men's basketball team has been passed on to them, and the ardent hope that each generation will become stronger than the previous generation is also pinned on them.
Is it okay to just rely on one Wang Zelin?
Domestic basketball players and fans generally have the highest expectations for him, but he is just another Yao Ming, at most a slightly enhanced version.
The reason why I think so is because the pinnacle of personal strength of Chinese players in the NBA and the world arena is where Yao Ming is, which limits their horizons.
Therefore, what they can think of is the peak period of this generation of Chinese men's basketball team, which is just a repetition of the glory of the 1994 generation and the 2008 generation...until Yi Jianlian returned to the NBA and until this 29 points against the Nuggets.
Of course, they all know that "one argument" is not necessary, but they can regard now... as a new beginning.
Is there a possibility that this generation of men's basketball team will usher in two leadership-level players, thus completing the dream of winning medals that countless seniors have dreamed of!
People always have to have dreams, otherwise what is the difference between them and salted fish?
Abroad, Yi Jianlian's fame has skyrocketed.
Domestically, fans and basketball people's expectations for Yi Jianlian have been rekindled again!
And these are enough to make Yi Jianlian's worth skyrocket again.
The most intuitive feeling is that Nike officials have sent people to discuss the sneaker contract renewal with Yi Jianlian, and the endorsement fee has been directly increased from 5 million per year to 1.5 million...
This time it’s rice dollars!
In the latest round of quotations, Nike's price is 6 million yuan for four years. It can be expected that Yi Jianlian, whose contract is about to expire, will definitely stimulate other brands to compete with Nike.
However, Yi Jianlian didn't know these things yet. Yi Jianlian, who had returned to Portland for a day, was sleeping with his wife in his arms!
until……
"Didi! Didi! Didi..."
The doorman heard a piercing sound of a car horn.
"Who is it? It's so noisy, let's go check it out, husband."
Jin Ling was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, so she could only let her husband go out, then turned over and continued to sleep.
"Dunei Laomu! Hey Bingguo rushes into the street and shovels!"
Wearing a pair of big pants and a big coat, Yi Jianlian opened the door and cursed.
"Hey, Brother A Lian! You just got up, don't forget that we still have business to do."
The car window opened and a head popped out. It was Wang Zelin who came.
"I lost it!" Yi Jianlian was dumbfounded on the spot, crying in his heart: What a sin!
