Legend of Yi Emperor Rebirth

Chapter 80: Milwaukee winter

   The single intelligence of Yi Jianlian’s final means of the basket has been known by more and more teams as the regular season progresses one after another.

   It may be that there were too many reports on Yi Jianlian on various basketball websites before, and the media had blown too much. After the weaknesses of Yi Jianlian were researched out, every team that played the Bucks was extremely excited.

   For Yi Jianlian's defense, he strictly followed the strategy.

   11 points.

   13 points.

  14 points.

   This is the scoring data that Yi Jianlian handed over in the last three games in November.

   Well, there is a bright red and dazzling shooting percentage of 41.3%

   The downturn seems to have become the norm for him.

  ***

   On December 1 and December 3, the Bucks challenged the Knicks in away games and played against the Clippers at home. Yi Jianlian, who was in a downturn in many games, finally broke out, scoring 21 points and 24 points.

   It's just that these two games did not change the public opinion of the outside world. Instead, Yi Jianlian has a new nickname-the weak team killer.

   The main reason is that in these two games, Yi Jianlian did not encounter the replenishment tactics arranged by the teams in the past, which made his scoring as simple as before.

   A weak team is a weak team. No matter how good the coach is, it is useless. The defensive tactics set up cannot be played at all. Some fans even clamored: "Even Yi Jianlian can't help it. The Knicks and the Clippers are really bad at home, the kind that can't be saved!"

   Of course, some fans think that Yi Jianlian's state has finally recovered.

   In the next few games, Yi Jianlian’s 42.2% shooting per game made them understand that there is a long way to go for China Yi to recover!

   In the first week of the regular season entering December, Yi Jianlian’s average scoring fell to 16.8 points per game;

   In the second week of December, in the latest official update of the rookie rankings, Yi Jianlian, who had been ranked for almost six weeks, was squeezed to second place for the first time.

   As the only rookie player to average more than 20 points per game, Durant rose to first place.

   Some experts even said that if Yi Jianlian can no longer find a way to crack, his ranking will fall, and Al Horford and Jokinoa have already approached his position infinitely.

   December 14th can be said to be a decisive battle.

   The Bucks played at home against the Orlando Magic, who had just risen to second place in the Eastern Conference.

   I still remember the opening game. "Coach Anxi" Van Gundy placed Turkoglu at the small forward position because the latter had no way to deal with Yi Jianlian's singles.

But no one thought of this helpless move, but it allowed the Magic to complete the transformation this season. The Magic with Turkoglu as the offensive core and Howard as the defensive core is like a dark horse in the East. The heroes slashed in succession.

   At that time, I watched the threatening Yi Jianlian singles, but so far, the glory is not there.

   I have to sigh for good luck!

   The Bucks finally lost, 89 to 108, with a loss of nearly 19 points.

   More importantly, after the loss of this game, the Bucks officially fell from the eighth position in the East and slipped to the tenth in the East.

   It is also worth mentioning that in this game, Yi Jianlian did not get even one singles opportunity. He completely became a blue-collar player who helped his teammates pick and rolls and had a chance to score by receiving his teammates pass.

   Yi Jianlian's more light and heat can only be placed on the defensive end.

   Milwaukee diehard fans who once thought that the Bucks were about to rise were sad after the game:

   "Hey, sure enough, a rookie can't save the Bucks!"

   "I'm so happy too soon!"

   "I can only look forward to next year. I am not greedy. I only hope that I can sign up for a newcomer who is about the same level as Hua Xia Yi.

At the same time, the Milwaukee media's exposure to the Bucks and Yi Jianlian is gradually decreasing. The original "Milwaukee Pioneer" must have a post-match interview with Yi Jianlian, and it quietly stopped from a certain day. .

   Just like Milwaukee's getting colder and colder winter, Yi Jianlian and the Bucks are getting colder.

   The media that originally bragged about Yi Jianlian on the Internet have now called Yi Jianlian "a pretty good rookie. If he can continue to improve next season, he may enter the All-Star in the future."

   That's it.

   It’s just that no one noticed that after Yi Jianlian gradually became a blue-collar power forward, his rebounds per game soared from 7.3 to 9.2, and his blocks increased from 0.6 to 1.3.

Max Pierce specifically wrote an article on Twitter, "The downturn in Yi Jianlian has new growth, and he is trying to develop in a new direction", but unfortunately, today is different from the past, Yi Jianlian has become a joke. Below this article Most of the comments are mocking:

   "Do you still blow? The hit rate is as low as that!"

   "Can you not defend? If you don't defend, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep the starting position! Can you not defend as much as you can?"

   "Just picking up a few rebounds is called growth, and Bogut has also grown! Hasn't he scored a lot more recently?"

   On December 20, the All-Star voting channel was opened.

   Yi Jianlian’s name is impressively listed, but at this time, the fans have not realized what is wrong~www.NovelMTL.com~ as usual ridiculed two sentences:

   "Eastern Bad Shot King and Western Bad Shot King are going to compete on the same stage in the rookie game. I'm really worried about whether the basket can survive a game!"

   "It's right to hit the basket at an angle, otherwise how would they score a goal!"

   "Hahahaha!"

   But, no one thought that in this atmosphere of ridicule, the 7th week's Rookie of the Week was again won by Yi Jianlian!

   With a double-double of 12.2 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game in the past week, Horford and Noah were squeezed out, and he was elected Rookie of the Week again after six weeks.

   Moreover, his shooting percentage in these games has also improved, reaching 49%.

   It’s just that the scoring is not high, averaging only 13.6 points per game.

   Of course, there is no way. Without singles tactics, Yi Jianlian's chances of attacking with the ball are greatly reduced, and at the same time, the chances of shooting are also much less.

   Just as Max Pierce wrote on Twitter not long ago, Yi Jianlian is indeed growing and moving in another direction. The latest Rookie of the Week is the official recognition of his growth and it is also a proof of his growth.

   In the eyes of the Milwaukee Bucks fans, there is still something missing!

  I am used to seeing Yi Jianlian, who hangs the Rockets’ three major power forwards on offense. Although the Bucks No. 9 is still using his way to help the team and prove his ability, it is still a bit embarrassing.

   Is it true that this is the case?

   The super rookie who can score 35 points in front of All-Star Pau Gasol really wants to become a blue-collar player?

   December 25th, the Spring Festival in the United States, should be celebrated everywhere, but the diehard fans of Milwaukee are a little uninterested.
