Basketball: Dayao Reopened

Although in the Western Conference Finals, the Trail Blazers were eliminated 1-4 in the end.

But Portland's media and fans weren't disappointed too much.

It was beyond their expectation that they could reach the Western Conference finals this season.

You know, at the end of the regular season, they were only ranked sixth in the Western Conference. It is not easy for this position to reach the Western Conference Finals. It's really not that any team can perform miracles like the Rockets back then. Yes, otherwise, the NBA will not have only one Rocket team that won the final championship as the sixth in the Western Conference for so many years!

They are the team with the worst record among the teams that have won championships in NBA history...

In addition, it is worth mentioning that Yao Ming once again shocked the entire league in this round of the series. After five games, he averaged 41.2 points, 11.4 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 2.6 blocks per game.

This is the first time since Michael Jordan, someone averaged 40 points per game in a series!

Even in the entire history of the NBA, only five people have done such a thing, even Chamberlain and O'Neal have not been able to complete such a feat!

"From this round of the series, we can see what kind of power this guy can explode when he becomes the only core of the team!"

"Averaging 40 points, this is Yao. When the whole team can only rely on him to advance, his performance can make everyone look at him!"

"Yao, omg, this is Yao! Really, I can hardly find other words to describe this guy. I can only say that although the Suns eliminated the Trail Blazers in this round of the series, Yao did not lose!"

From the outside discussion, we can see how shocked everyone is about Yao Ming's performance in this round of the series!

However, in Yao Ming's opinion, this data is a bit "inflated". The Suns' own defensive strength on the inside is not strong for him. If he is replaced by any other team, he may not be able to cut the field. Average 40 points!

Of course, this is the result of adjusting his play style after reopening. There are more three-pointers and the increase in points is naturally faster...

Many media have referred to Yao Ming's performance in this round of the series as "Fighting the Gods"!

Barkley is even more blunt: "In the future, if anyone dares to question Yao's scoring ability, I will definitely take him to watch this round of the series, and then ask him how he feels!"

Well, this is purely Barkley's own thinking too much, after winning the "scoring champion" this season, Yao Ming's scoring ability has been proven!

Of course, this round of the series has indeed allowed more people to see the upper limit of Yao Ming's scoring end!

This article of report made Yao Ming couldn't help but say: I don't know if anyone will use this round of the series to say that I have beaten Amare!

Although Stoudemire really can't defend Yao Ming, in this round of the series, the Suns are more complementary to each other. Yao Ming will hold the ball as soon as they will attack. There is no question of who will defend Yao Ming alone.

What I really want to say... Yao Ming is not Stoudemire, but the defense of the entire Suns!

The Suns really have no defense!

It’s just a pity that the Trail Blazers only have Yao Ming, while the Suns are a group of people. Yao Ming has been playing "brothers" basketball since he reopened. What he didn't expect is that he was once again caught up by himself today. Help people to encircle and suppress!

Is it possible that in my fate, I cannot escape the word "lone hero"?

Of course, having such a round of series here is definitely good for Yao Ming's future development. It is said that Michael Jordan was done like that in the first 7 years of his career, but his strength has become more and more recognized. , What does it rely on? Doesn’t it depend on his famous scenes when he was a lone hero?

Yao Ming's average of 40 points per game in this round of the series and a three-pointer in the third game of the series have also allowed him to get more recognition after this round of the series!

Otherwise, some people say that although Yao Ming is the core identity in winning the Rockets championship, there are so many helpers around him, and there is nothing remarkable!

Now, the single-core Yao Ming's 40-point average has stopped their dissatisfaction...

"Guys, then we'll see you next season!"

This is the last word Yao Ming said at the post-game press conference. Like the Portland media and fans, he has no regrets about this season.

Before the start of this year's playoffs, his idea was to beat the Spurs!

Now the goal has been achieved.

Although he still failed to cross the Suns in the end, it feels good to think that he had defeated the final championship of the season.

Even if this is something only he knows...

And the Suns really can't do it, they need to do a good job of outside defense!

In addition, even if you get past the Suns, the two remaining teams in the Eastern Conference: the Pistons and the Pacers are not easy to deal with...

In short, it is really difficult to win a championship this season.

Being able to enter the Western Conference Finals is already a good result.

It’s quite exciting to say that it is the first time since the reopening that Yao Ming ended his season journey in late May. In addition, he has made up his mind not to play in the Asian Cup this summer, that is to say, starting from 6 From September to September 18th, Yao Ming has three and a half months at his disposal. He has never been so cool...

I have to plan well!

Hmm...Before planning, I will play two "Warcraft" first!

Although I have played "Warcraft" twice in the regular season, Yao Ming feels that playing "Warcraft" is not as fun as playing "Warcraft"!

But it’s no wonder that Dwight Howard, who has just entered the league, is still slowly leveling up. When he practices for another two or three seasons, he will almost be able to make Yao Ming frown...

Although it's still easy mode, it's better than being like no one in front of me.

Yao Ming played "Warcraft" for two days in a row. He didn't even watch this year's Eastern Conference Finals. However, when the final result came out, he still took a look. In the end, the Pacers defeated the Pistons and entered this season. finals.

It is worth mentioning that in the last game of the Pacers' victory, the two sides almost broke out. Rashid Wallace once again stopped Artest, who was a bit violent, and avoided similar to last year’s Eastern Conference finals. Of the fight.

Although Yao Ming felt that Artest bluffed after Rasheed Wallace hugged him.

But there is no doubt that "Roaring Heavenly Sovereign" once again avoided Artest from appearing above.

This is the second time he has stopped Artest this season.

Obviously last season, his impulsive push caused him to be suspended for two games, which indirectly caused the Pacers to lose in the finals and taught him enough lessons.

This makes him the "sweethearted player" of the Pacers this season...Well, this is the titanium alloy that blinds the Trailblazers fans anyway.

There is also a time to persuade this product!

With the Pacers defeating the Pistons, the two places to enter the finals this year have also been officially determined. The Eastern Pacers, Western Suns...

Before the start of this season, who would have thought that these two teams would meet on the stage of the Finals.

This is something that Yao Ming, the reopener, never thought of...

However, although he didn't expect such a duel, Yao Ming didn't plan to watch this year's finals. He didn't have time.

In the two days of playing "Warcraft", he received two calls. One was from Zhang Mingji. This summer, Peak will organize the Peak High School All-Star Game. The game is just like Nike and Adidas. Going to sign high school talented basketball high school students.

Of course, the more important reason is to create a stage with exposure, so that the basketball teenagers of "This Is Basketball" have a chance to show themselves after graduating from high school.

Because high school All-Star games like Nike and Adidas may not invite this group of high school students from China.

Only by showing more channels can they get more attention from NCAA universities...

Although there are no "This Is Basketball" basketball teenagers who graduated from high school this year, the first batch of Chinese basketball players who graduated from high school will only appear next year.

At that time, the Peak High School All-Star Game is a stage for them to show themselves!

This naturally has to be well prepared.

There is also another call from Yi Jianlian. The CBA league has ended. He also negotiated with the Guangdong team and submitted an application for the draft to the league draft office.

In the next few days, he will have to fight for his draft pick.

As someone who actively persuaded him to participate in the draft this year, Yao Ming naturally had to worry about this matter.

The good news is that Yi Jianlian finally signed a contract with Bill Duffy. Together with Yao Ming, they belong to Bill Duffy’s customers. In this way, Yao Ming doesn’t have to worry that his opinions will contradict Bill Duffy’s. NS!

If you really signed Feigen, Yao Ming would be a bit difficult to handle. As for this guy's urination, he definitely wanted to send Yi Jianlian to the big city...

But in fact, for Yi Jianlian, what really matters is not whether the city where his team is located is big or not. It doesn't even matter whether the draft picks are high or not. For him, the most important thing is to find a good match for him. The leveling team allows him to grow better. This is the most important thing!

On this point, Yao Ming believes that Bill Duffy will never disagree with him!

This means that Yao Ming can operate Yi Jianlian's draft process more freely...

Yao Ming is not afraid of being backed up. To be honest, since he persuaded Yi Jianlian to participate in the draft early, the risk has already begun. Since he has opened the "Pandora's Box", of course he has to let Yi Jianlian go the way he expected!

The first thing is obviously not busy now, at least until late June.

But the second thing is something close at hand!

In the afternoon of the next day, Yao Ming met Yi Jianlian, and Bill Duffy had just picked him up at the airport at noon.

When I saw Yi Jianlian again, Yao Ming could feel that his physique was obviously stronger. This was a sign of success.

It seems that it is useful to send a trainer to give Yi Jianlian one-on-one guidance last year.

Yao Ming murmured in his heart, and then tried to have a simple oral communication with Yi Jianlian. Yi Jianlian could answer a few sentences, although he stumbled.

But being able to basically understand other people's words is already pretty good.

The others take your time.

After all, it only took one year to study. If Yi Jianlian had mastered English in one year, his language talent would be great.

"Talk more, you will get used to it soon!"

After the oral examination, Yao Ming did not investigate Yi Jianlian. Generally speaking, he was quite satisfied. The two problems that he explained last year, one is training problem or the other is oral English, have made significant progress. It shows that Yi Jianlian is quite mindful of his suggestions.

With this attitude, Yao Ming is more confident.

Bill Duffy then handed a bunch of information to Yao Ming: “This is the data of Yi’s domestic CBA league in China last season, as well as the general report of Yi’s current situation in the United States. There are also major websites about I have sorted out his draft prospects!" Obviously he has read the book "Position" more thoroughly recently.

Yao Ming probably turned over. At the end of the CBA regular season last season, Yi Jianlian averaged 23.2 points and 11 rebounds per game. This is the data he could only play in the regular season in 2007, and the playoff data can basically maintain this. The number is that in the finals, his data declined slightly, only 19.7 points and 10.2 rebounds. Of course, this is also the quasi "20 plus 10" data.

Combined with his 18-year-old age, it still makes sense!

For this reason, the American media is also very optimistic about Yi Jianlian’s prospects. Most of them believe that he will be selected by the NBA team in the first round. In the latest draft forecasts of major websites, Yi Jianlian’s name also appears. Between 15 and 20 in the first round.

You know, Yi Jianlian is only 18 years old and belongs to a high school student who has escaped the NCAA directly in the United States. It is really okay to be able to get such a position as a high school student.

O'Neal also had the 17th overall pick in the first round.

In addition, the future "Little Shark" Bynum, a talented high school student in the United States, is only ranked 10-14 in the first round on these draft prediction lists...

Yi Jianlian, a foreign high school student, is really good to be in such a position!

In other words, this has something to do with Yao Ming. His success in the three seasons of the NBA has made the American media look at the Chinese players a little bit, and the quality evaluation of the CBA league has actually been higher!

In their opinion, if you can average 20 plus 10 per game in the CBA, then you can get an 18 plus 8 stat in the Development League or NCAA!

But in fact, this is a league where jr Smith can average 34 points per game in the regular season!

Moreover, the performance he played without trying his best and anxious to return to the NBA to play...

Of course, Yi Jianlian's own strength is definitely not watery. Even if he played an NBA substitute rotation, it is more than enough. You should know that he can get it in the last season of the NBA without counting the games he later returned to the NBA. 8 plus 5 stats, and in the season when he averaged the most minutes, he could even get 12 plus 8 stats... He did not continue to play in the NBA, according to his own positioning, the national team’s requirements for him, and various There are reasons for it, not that you can't get mixed up in the NBA at all.

There is strength.

If I really want to say, the physical talent is even higher than Yao's name. It is known as "Asia's No. 1". Although it is a bit exaggerated, it is indeed one of the best physical talents among Asian basketball players...

Otherwise, Yao Ming wouldn't be so anxious to reform him!

Even if what happened later, there is one thing that cannot be denied. After Yao Ming, the banner of the China Men's Basketball Team is indeed only Yi Jianlian who can resist!

"It's okay. The current situation is undoubtedly a better situation..."

After reading the entire report, Yao Ming glanced at Bill Duffy: "Are there any teams that have sent invitations to tryouts?"

According to the normal process, the team's trial invitations are all after the joint trial, but there are also teams that will issue trial invitations to their favorite players in advance.

What Yao Ming wants to know now is which teams are already interested in Yi Jianlian.

"At present, the Nets have sent a trial invitation. They are also the team with the highest number of picks. They have several first-round picks, including the first-round third pick, the first-round twelfth pick, and the first-round second-round pick. The 15th pick, in addition to the Clippers and the New York Knicks also sent invitations..."

Yao Ming frowned when Bill Duffy said, why are these teams!

In fact, the Nets are very good. There is Jason Kidd who "feeds the pie," a guy with good physical qualities like Uzbekistan, who can easily eat pie.

In addition, "Silver Fox" Harris is also a coach for the Nets. He has a special appreciation for Yi Jianlian. The original Yi Jianlian was traded from the Bucks to the Nets and he contributed to it.

However, the Nets have changed a lot in the next few years, and even the coaching staff has been reorganized once. Since the "Silver Fox" Harris is not able to protect himself, then Yi Jianlian is gone, it is not necessarily "wretched development."

Moreover, there are too many pie-eaters in the team, and Yi Jianlian may not be able to eat others.

Yao Ming's first choice is a team that will not change much in the next few years. It would be better if someone could cover Yi Jianlian!

This requirement...seems a bit high~

When Yao Ming thinks about it for himself, he feels a bit outrageous.

In fact, the best way is to let Steve Patterson select Yi Jianlian to the Trail Blazers, so that Yao Ming can take him slowly to level up.

The only problem is that he will definitely not be able to start with the Trail Blazers.

This leveling speed is a bit slow.

And the Trail Blazers don’t have the right chips to pick him. They can’t pick him with the second pick in the first round, right?

At that time, it will definitely cause criticism, and Yi Jianlian will also be under pressure!

So this choice was passed by himself early in the morning!

Bored to think about it, he found out the lottery status of each team in 2005 from the pile of information that Bill Duffy gave him.

Looking at it, his eyes gradually brightened.

"That's it!"

Yao Ming pointed to one of the teams and said to Bill Duffy, "If possible, give priority to this team!"

Bill Duffy looked at the team name of Yao's name finger, and a few thoughts flashed in his eyes, but he didn't ask much, just nodded and wrote it down.

Yi Jianlian tilted his head and looked at the team that Yao Ming was referring to: "Orlando...Magic?"

Yes!

This is the result of Yao Ming thinking about it for a long time!

When he went to Orlando for the first time this season, Yao Mingzai once sighed that the Magic management was really patience with Howard this time!

Continued to wait for four years!

During this period of time, the Magic did not have any big deals except signing Lewis with a contract of 100 million yuan, and that was two seasons later...

More importantly, the Magic will play "one star and four shots" in the future!

The current Yi Jianlian has good maneuverability and good projection ability. Following this path, he can definitely become the "Lewis with excellent physical fitness". Maybe, he will directly give the top position of Lewis!

What does Lewis have?

Isn't it just an "anti-aircraft gun"?

After Stan Van Gundy came to the Magic, he complained about Lewis' defensive ability!

It is precisely if Yi Jianlian does not continue to gain weight, his mobility is definitely fast in the fourth position!

Re-training the shooting ability, where does the Magic need Lewis!

Although becoming a "Lewis" is not a good choice for Yi Jianlian's position in the national team to carry the flag, the most important thing is to stay in this league. Moreover, Yi Jianlian is actually very suitable for the "small ball era" and will become a "small ball era" in the future. "Space Type 4" can also be a tactical starting point, and it can also carry the flag!

More importantly, this team has Francis!

With him covering Yi Jianlian, there will be no problem of inadequacy!

Patience is still covered. Has Yao Ming's harsh conditions been resolved?

In addition, the 15th pick in the first round owned by this team is also a pick for Yi Jianlian.

Really, the more Yao Ming looks at this team, the more he thinks it is suitable for Yi Jianlian's "wretched development"...

"what do you think?"

Of course, although Yao Ming of this team is satisfied, he still has to respect the opinions of the parties.

Yi Jianlian thought for a long time, "Listen to Brother Yao!"

"Okay, let's try to operate it!" Bill Duffy saw Yao Ming's decision and Yi Jianlian had no objection, and immediately got busy.

As the off-season approaches, apart from the general manager of each team, these agents are the busiest!

After initially finalizing the matter, Yao Ming took Yi Jianlian into the training first.

"The general manager of the NBA cares most about potential for rookies. As for potential, it is physical fitness and static talent!"

"Of course we can't change the static talent in a short period of time, but the physical fitness can still be strengthened. U.S., during the few days that Bill Duffy has been managing, you will follow my training team and try to adjust your state. Try to impress the general manager of the team during the trial training!"

This is Yao Ming's training content for Yi Jianlian. There is no substantive training content. It is mainly about adjusting the status. After all, the most important thing for Yi Jianlian right now is the draft contest!

And the next trial training will have an important impact on his final results, so it is natural to prepare well!

In addition to letting him adjust his state, Yao Ming also specially called out a few newcomers to the Trail Blazers to help Yi Jianlian sum up experience together. It was not him at Versailles. Although he had also tried out at the beginning, he only gave the Rockets a ball. After the team’s trial training, he became the NBA champion. In order to let him feel the atmosphere, David Stern even gave him a special branch venue. Although Yi Jianlian has a good prospect, he obviously missed him. This level.

His experience will certainly not help Yi Jianlian.

It is the experience of those rookies who can help Yi Jianlian even more.

In about two days, Yao Ming received good news from Bill Duffy. According to what he learned, the Magic did intend to choose a player with the fourth position this summer, and they are currently screening out candidates for trial invitations.

This news made Yao Ming more confident!

However, he did not tell Yi Jianlian the news. At this time, maintaining pressure is a good thing for Yi Jianlian!

Yao Ming's own training content is still focused on coordination and physical fitness. The former is the need for play and the latter is Yao Ming's flaws.

But again, this time he didn't gain weight as desperately as he did in the previous life. Coupled with the fact that he has attached great importance to physical fitness from the first season, his current physical fitness is better than that of the same period.

Of course, as the speed of the alliance gets faster and faster, his style of play is also shifting, making him very clear that he needs better physical fitness! So, you still have to keep practicing!

Yi Jianlian trained with him for about five days, and then followed Bill Duffy to Chicago to prepare for a joint trial, and then each team ran the trial!

Yao Ming couldn't help much during this period, all he had to rely on Yi Jianlian to work **** himself.

In the end, whether or not to enter the Magic team is all in the hands of Yi Jianlian himself!

However, he did do everything he could, to help determine the target team, help adjust the state and so on. Anyway, when Yi Jianlian left, his eyes were much firmer than the day he came.

This shows that he still played the role he should have played!

In the past few days, the NBA Finals also unknowingly finished 4 games, Yao Ming took the time to glance, a big score of 3-1! Pacers 3, Suns 1... This result is not surprising, especially after Yao Ming probably replayed the four games, it is not surprising at all.

The Pacers’ defensive tactics are the same as the original Spurs. They also blocked the other defenders of the Suns. No, no, the Pacers’ defensive strength is obviously stronger. They directly defended the Suns’ offense to death. Extremely unreasonable defensive strength... well, let’s take a look at the starting roster for the Pacers: Tinsley, Stephen Jackson, Artest, Rashid Wallace, O’Neal, it’s no exaggeration. , The defensive strength of this team has exceeded the original Spurs!

Relying on such a defensive lineup, the Pacers will abruptly limit the offense of the Suns, which no one can limit for a season!

In addition, in the face of the "inside combination" of O'Neal and Rashid Wallace, the Suns' weak internal defense is directly exposed.

Which of these two problems appeared on the stage of the Finals is fatal, but the Suns also have two problems.

This is scored 1-3, really not wronged at all!

"This is the Pacers armed to the teeth!"

Yao Ming once again sighed with the Pacers.

As long as they don't fight, their lineup is really, super fierce!

Since the big score was already 3-1, Yao Ming watched the fifth game of the finals specially. Although it was the home court of the Suns, the Pacers showed their desire for the championship trophy from the beginning. They did not return. The meaning of going to the home court to win the championship.

Well, it's no wonder that for this team that just experienced a final defeat last year, their desire for a championship is indeed stronger than ordinary players!

Of course, more importantly, the guy who leads the team hopes that this championship has been looking forward to his entire career!

How could they still have the idea of ​​releasing water!

They can't wait to destroy the Suns in one quarter!

The Suns also resisted, but like the previous few lost games, the first quarter can still be stalemate, the second quarter was almost completely guarded by the Pacers, and then set off a counterattack in the third quarter, the fourth quarter At first, he was completely locked up within a few minutes, and then lost the entire game by eight or nine points!

110 to 102...

This is the final score of the game. With an 8-point advantage, the Pacers had the last laugh and officially rewritten the big score to 4-1!

The Suns are officially eliminated!

At the same time as the final whistle sounded, the Suns had some frustration on the faces of the guys. Stoudemire wanted to take off the goggles, but he did not take them. Barbosa covered his face. As for Stie Nash... is the emptiness after madness.

Is this over?

For him, for the entire Suns, this season they have rushed all the way to the present, without stopping, excitement and excitement filled them throughout the season.

Failing to rush to the end made them feel unwilling!

The Suns fans in the audience cheered and applauded at the same time.

They want to tell the Suns this group of players that although the Suns failed to win the championship, for them, it was enough to satisfy them!

After all, this is the first season...

Our future is bright!

The empty Steve Nash also greeted his teammates in time at this time. They stood in a row, waved to the audience, and then wanted to generously congratulate the Pacers winners!

"Wow, we won the championship, Rashid!"

"It's not easy..."

"Reggie, you finally won the championship!"

It's just... looking at the howling and crying rough men of the Pacers, they finally decided to leave the field silently and hand over the stage to them.

This can be regarded as being "beaten" by us and crying!

The Suns team reporter on the sidelines thought of it!

Yao Ming looked at Reggie Miller who was crying like a ghost in front of the TV. He could actually understand why he was crying so sad. He almost cried last year.

Another person who empathizes... is Karl Malone, who is also watching the live broadcast of the game at UU reading www.uukanshu.com. Looking at the tearful appearance of Reggie Miller, he couldn't help but mutter: "Congratulations, Ray lucky!"

Another regrettable person is missing in the NBA!

Then the award ceremony officially began. The Pacers players took turns holding the championship trophy and chewed on them. The trophies were full of saliva. Every one of them was still chewing. Yao Ming was instinctively unwell when he saw this step. He recalled it. , I shouldn't kiss the trophy last year, right?

Then David Stern officially announced that the finals MVP of this round of the series, this award finally went to Jermaine O'Neal!

He averaged 21 points, 12 rebounds and 2 blocks per game. He was a great contributor to the Pacers' championship and the guy with the best data. O'Neal, who held the Finals MVP trophy, smiled happily.

The appearance of Artest standing behind him was a little unclear.

Yao Ming keenly noticed the difference in the expressions of the two people, and he couldn't help but uttered: "It seems that the Pacers will have a glorious season!"
