Chapter 187 The Invitation of the UAE
Su Yi scored an astonishing 63 points in the last game against the Nets. Today, he felt very hot in the beginning.
Facing the Nets' hip-stretching defense, Su Yi showed his true qualities as an excellent shooter. He hit two consecutive three-pointers at the beginning of the game.
Rose was also very excited when facing Devin Harris, easily distinguishing between left and right shots.
With Hinrich's rare one-third of the net, the Nets requested a timeout.
16: 3!
Obviously New Jersey fans are used to their team being brutally slaughtered.
The Bulls scored 16 of their first 13 points.
Su Yi scored 9 of them, and he still chopped melons and vegetables like the last game.
The UAE is obviously trying its best to help the team score, but its own touch is not good.
The dull past of the first quarter, the score was fixed at 34:16, the game has lost its suspense ahead of time.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Bulls made personnel adjustments.
Because the overall strength of the Nets is weak, Denagro made an interesting arrangement today, which is to let Su Yi move to the forward position to defend Yi Jianlian.
Yi Jianlian's height has an advantage over Su Yi, but facing Su Yi's death entanglement, he lost all sense of touch today.
After playing for 5 minutes in the second quarter, the point difference came to more than 20 points.
Rose and Su Yi clapped their hands together and happily returned to the bench.
Su Yi has efficiently scored 15 points and can clock out of get off work early.
Obviously, there is no suspense about the outcome of today's game.
So, Su Yi, who was drinking water happily, set his sights on Yi Jianlian.
The Nets have never replaced their main players, and Yi Jianlian has been doing his job conscientiously on the court from beginning to end.
Su Yi discovered two problems with the UAE. One is that his ability to use the pick-and-roll and run without the ball is a bit weak, and it is difficult to catch the basketball comfortably.
Another point is that Ah Lian's shot was too indecisive.
Usually, a qualified spatial power forward not only has to maintain a high shooting percentage, but also has to catch and shoot the ball.
After the ball, Ah Lian always pauses habitually, and the movement of lifting the ball seems to be playing back in slow motion.
Therefore, Su Yi can always make up defense in front of Ah Lian in time, and Ah Lian's shots are not confident, so all three shots in the opening game are all hard-hitting.
Under the defense of this group of beasts in the NBA, the weaknesses of the UAE will be infinitely magnified.
The advantage of UAE is comprehensiveness, strength, jumping, and shooting, but the disadvantage is that in a league full of masters like the NBA, every skill of UAE is not outstanding.
Because the UAE has professional basketball experience, the Bucks' training plan for the UAE was to enhance the physical fitness of the UAE.
But in the process of fighting Ah Lian, Su Yi discovered that the core problem of Ah Lian was not that his physical fitness was not strong enough.
But from the perspective of a qualified NBA starting power forward, there is still a lot of room for improvement in his skills and tactics.
The problem in defense is especially big. Su Yi can face the UAE with a light three-threat with the ball, because his defensive pace is too unsteady, and he is not sure about the rotation of the auxiliary defense. Not quite right.
After all, the Bulls are a defense-centric team. If they want to convince the uniform team to recruit the United Arab Emirates, the first thing is to let them see the continuous improvement of the United Arab Emirates.
Su Yi took a closer look. Ah Lian's defensive pace is actually not slow. It's just that he has developed a lot of bad habits in the CBA and hasn't changed it yet. It can be said that there is still a lot of room for improvement.
If you learn the defensive steps of the "puppy steps" you have mastered together with the Arab League, and cooperate with the Bulls' proficient defensive system, it is estimated that Yi Jianlian will also become a defensive killer
On the offensive end, many of the UAE's skills have not been developed, such as face-to-basket fake moves, fake shots and real bursts, etc., are basically absent.
Because of the deceitful Bucks and this year's poor Nets, the Arab League has not been maturely trained, and it is simply a blank sheet of paper.
And the most important point is that Yi Jianlian is a low-key and hardworking player.
If Ah Lian can really meet Bole and be taken seriously, his current problems will not be a problem after reasonable training in the future.
Su Yi became more convinced of his own ideas. If the United Arab Emirates was integrated into the Bulls' system, he would probably get it soon.
After the start of the fourth quarter, the Bulls still maintained a lead of more than 20 points.
There was no suspense in the game, but Denagro saw that Ross and Su Yi were about to catch a cold, so he asked them to go up and find a feel.
In the end, the Bulls easily defeated the Nets 125:102. Su Yi scored 18 points in just 25 minutes.
The Arab League didn't feel good in this game. They played 28 minutes and only scored 7 points, which is obviously out of shape.
After the game, Su Yi and Ah Lian shook hands warmly and punched each other.
This much-anticipated Huaguo Derby finally ended with Su Yi's absolute suppression, which was also expected by everyone.
The moment Su Yi walked to the media interview area, countless microphones were handed in front of him, while Yi Jianlian was rather lonely, walking out of the team tunnel silently by himself.
According to the agreement before the game, Su Yi will have dinner with Yi Jianlian after the game.
After accepting the interview, Su Yi immediately came to the garage of the arena and found Ah Lian who had been waiting for a long time.
"Let's go eat something first, Asu."
Yi Jianlian, who lost the game, was not happy, but now he was relieved, and greeted Su Yi with a smile.
"Then I'll give you a good meal, brother Lian!" Su Yi joked.
"Don't look outside, in fact, there is not much to eat in New Jersey."
Ah Lian smiled heartily, and the two set off.
Su Yi originally thought that Ah Lian would just find a restaurant, have something to eat with himself, and catch up with the past, but the car first drove on the road for half an hour, and then passed a winding path.
According to my own experience, this place is already an urban-rural fringe.
Finally arrived at the agreed location, Ah Lian got out of the car first and walked in. Su Yi also took the co-pilot's door and followed Ah Lian's footsteps.
"Boss, book a private room on the second floor." Yi Jianlian greeted his brother, obviously he was very familiar with this store.
Su Yi took a closer look at the overall menu of the restaurant. It was a typical Cantonese restaurant.
The boss and the proprietress in the restaurant are also faces of the East.
Su Yi naturally felt friendly in this environment, and the food was served slowly.
There weren't too many guests in the restaurant, Ah Lian poured a cup of hot water for himself and Su Yi first, and the two began talking and laughing.
Time passed quickly, and before we knew it, several distinctive Cantonese dishes had already been served.
Roast suckling pig, roast goose
Su Yi was not polite, and moved his chopsticks first, a strong fragrance entered his mouth, and then nodded repeatedly.
"It's said that a good meal doesn't worry about being late, Brother Lian also took the trouble to find a good restaurant." Su Yi laughed.
"I'm not afraid of your jokes, Asu, in fact, I usually eat here often, and it's probably only here that I can taste the familiar taste." Ah Lian explained.
"It's better at home. In the United States, there are very few people to talk to. It would be great if our brother could come to a city. Then I will cook for you every day." Su Yi said from the bottom of his heart.
In fact, this is not just about Amway Yijianlian, because he really feels that in a foreign country, if he can have someone to talk to, he will relax a lot.
Ah Lian took a piece of pork knuckle, ate it first, and was silent for a while, as if he wanted to say something.
"Actually, it's not easy. Sometimes I feel a little homesick. I have been in the United States for more than two years, and now I don't play as well as when I first came here." Ah Lian is still a little melancholy.
"We are still young, what are you talking about?" Su Yi laughed, and ate a piece of goose himself.
Ah Lian also nodded slowly, and the two talked and laughed again.
Fellow villagers meet fellow villagers. In the normal environment of their hometown, the two of them can talk about everything, and they both share their own experiences. The more they talk, the happier they are.
"I just don't know why, but eating in the United States still doesn't feel like home." Ah Lian sighed.
Su Yi understood what Ah Lian meant, because the boss was from Chaoshan, and his taste was different from that of Ah Lian.
As a warm-hearted man who is proficient in cooking, Su Yi quickly got this point and asked the boss to adjust his taste
I went to the counter by myself and brought two jugs of the plum wine that Ah Lian loves most in China.
"Try this one, Brother Lian." Su Yi said happily.
Yi Jianlian took a mouthful of the adjusted dish and put it in his mouth. At that moment, he seemed to recall something and was stunned for a while.
Then the two drank a glass of plum wine together.
To Su Yi's surprise, Yi Jianlian, a [-]-meter-tall man, burst into tears at this moment, lying on the table and sobbing.
Finally, when Ah Lian got up, he said: "If you really can't play in the NBA, how can you face those folks when you return to the CBA! I still remember the expectant faces when they sent me here. "
Su Yi stretched out his big hand: "At least there are still brothers, we Hua people traveled across the ocean and came here to do something."
The eyes of the two became firm.
Ah Lian was happy to be able to talk freely with a brother like Su Yi, while Su Yi was very excited to get Ah Lian, an assistant with unlimited potential.
With 213cm, Ah Lian has the physical talent to become a center forward.
Good jumping ability, far surpassing the flexibility and maneuverability of most inside players, all made Su Yi drool.
In Su Yi's view, the fully developed Alian is basically a little Duncan.
If you don't have low-level skills, you can ask a coach to teach you.
With Ah Lian's savvy, natural physical condition, and willingness to endure hardships, what low-level skills can't be learned?
In addition, there is Brother Yao.
Yao's dreamy footwork at the basket is definitely an SSS-level top low-post skill in the league.
Moreover, with Dayao's character, I'm afraid he won't hide his secrets at all.
UAE's low-level skills are not what he is good at, and these are still to be developed.
Moreover, the harmonious team atmosphere of the Bulls is also compatible with the restrained personality of the UAE.
Su Yi has already figured out how the team should train the UAE well.
If it doesn't work, Su Yi has no problem paying for it himself.
The UAE is the hope of the Chinese men's basketball team in the future, and it is also their right-hand man in the future. It is definitely worthy of Su Yi's heavy investment.
Therefore, Su Yi also intends to use this opportunity of contacting the UAE to deepen their relationship and lay down a persistent friendship and foundation for their future championship career.
……
Looking at the familiar decoration of the restaurant, both of them felt a sense of returning to their homeland, which made them feel relaxed and at ease.
Steak and sausage, and milk and Coca-Cola, they are really tired of drinking.
This is not their eating habits since childhood.
After leaving aside the novelty of just arriving in the beautiful country, what remains is the longing for Chinese food and the nostalgia for the side dishes of my hometown.
Su Yi wanted to pay for the treat himself, but Ah Lian refused again and again, because the two chatted so happily today.
Although he said just now that he wanted to kill Ah Lian, the straightforward Su Yi obviously didn't want his big brother to spend money.
"Asu, don't compete with me here. I am really happy to have you talking with me." Ah Lian's tone was more serious.
"Then we have to eat better next time in Chicago." Su Yi no longer declined.
The two continued to chat.
"Asu, your suggestion is correct. I really should adjust my training method, and I shouldn't give up easily." Ah Lian looked at Su Yi who was sitting in front of him, and said casually.
Hearing Ah Lian's words, Su Yi returned to reality from distracting thoughts, took a sip of the plum wine that the store gave them for free and said, "Yes, although we have adapted to life in the United States and can live comfortably in the United States, but we In their bones, they will always be Chinese with yellow skin, black eyes and black hair. This will only be a ladder for us to improve ourselves, and our goal is definitely not here.”
Ah Lian tentatively touched the warm teacup with his right hand, hesitated for a moment and said: "To tell you the truth, I was very unhappy in the Bucks and Nets. There is a natural conflict of values between me and my teammates. Of course I I can’t be complacent, so no matter where I am, I have become an alternative and fringe figure in the locker room. Even if there is a good opportunity in my position on the court, it may be impossible for my teammates to give me the ball.”
Su Yi showed a stunned expression. Through today's game, he has seen it clearly.The Nets just want to make the United Arab Emirates a commercial mascot that attracts investment.
As for the wasted super talent of the United Arab Emirates, they ignored it.
Geniuses, they have seen too much. Every year, there are many basketball geniuses rushing to enter the league, so how can they look at the UAE differently?
Su Yi was thinking a lot.
The voice in my head suddenly rang.
"Ding!"
"The task [Wake Up Emperor Yi] has progressed!"
"Yijianlian Confidence Index +5"
