Chapter 456: Just the Timberwolves
In addition, Yi Jianlian feels that Yi Dun joins the Timberwolves is a good choice, and the main reason is actually Love.
Love is a rare good guy in the league. He has never been on the court for so many years, nor has he heard of any conflicts with his teammates. You should know that there are good people like Beasley in his team, so he can get along with the other party in a friendly manner.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this gentle personality that his popularity is not high. Fans must still prefer players with distinct personalities, especially fans who like insiders. Many of them may prefer hard-core insiders.
In Yi Jianlian's opinion, Love cannot be considered a good candidate for being the boss of the team, but if you are the second in command, you are definitely one of the best candidates. Yi Dun must be the boss of any team. With Love like him, he is actually quite good.
After seeing off Love, Yi Jianlian told Yi Dun about the Timberwolves' situation and Love's personality, with a full tone of praise.
Yi Dun nodded, "It's really good. He said nothing wrong. Only by joining these garbage teams and leading the team to win the championship can you feel accomplished."
"Entering a team like the Thunder that can enter the finals by itself will not have any sense of accomplishment even if it wins the championship, let alone the Thunder may not have a place for you and Sun Yue."
Yi Jianlian was stunned and gave himself and Sun Yue a place? How did you say this?
He was about to ask in detail, but the knock on the door rang again. Yi Jianlian smiled bitterly. It seemed that there was nothing else to do this morning. I guess the twelve players of the Dream Team would definitely visit one by one.
After spending several years in the NBA, Yi Jianlian should be considered the player in China who knows the most about the NBA, besides Yao Ming. He is very clear about the significance of a championship trophy to the team and the players.
The team won the championship and made a lot of money, it can also make the fans feel stronger and more willing to spend money on the team.
And the player has an extra championship trophy, which is also extraordinary. Players with championship rings and players without rings are definitely not the same in the historical rankings.
Take Barkley, who is known as Yi Dun's template for example. He doesn't need to be too much. Even if he led the team to win a championship ring at his peak, his historical ranking will definitely be able to improve by five places!
Nowadays, according to the historical player rankings of the United States, Barkley is generally around 20. If he has a peak ring, he will definitely be in the top fifteen.
Even if there are three championship rings, it would be absolutely not difficult for Barkley to enter the top ten.
Of course, the ring mentioned here must refer to the championship ring that led the team to win at its peak. The ring that you get with your thighs in the late career will definitely not have much value.
From this we can see the importance of the championship ring to a player. Those who are determined to be the top players in history must be extremely eager to join Yi Dun.
Yi Jianlian went to put the door, and it was Kobe Bryant, who stood at the door, who was the huge number of domestic fans.
Yi Dun was naturally familiar with Kobe. He didn't expect Kobe to appear in front of him.
You should know that the Lakers nowadays seem to be not short of inside players. The inside player composed of Sharks Bynum and Gasol can almost be said to be the best inside player combination in the league.
However, this is not without flaws for the inside combination, that is, Bynum's IQ seems to be not very online, and he will do some incredible things from time to time on the court.
After some conversation, Yi Dun understood that the Lakers had already sold Bynum, no wonder Kobe came to recruit him.
Of course, the Lakers sold Bynum, who averaged nearly 19 points and 12 rebounds last season, and that was definitely not because of Yi Dun.
Kobe only sat for a while, didn't talk much, nor did he promise Yi Dun the boss position like other teams, which was not beyond Yi Jianlian's expectations.
The boss of any team in the league may make such a promise. Even James in the Heat is now, he probably can make such promises. After all, when he joined the Heat, he said more than once that the Heat was Wade's team.
But Kobe alone could not say such words.
After Kobe left, Yi Jianlian didn't say much because he knew very well that Yi Dun could not have the idea of playing in the Lakers.
As Yi Jianlian expected, several Dream Team players came next, such as Deron Williams, who had just transferred from the Jazz to the Nets, also appeared in Yi Dun's room.
Some of these teams actually do not lack inside players at all, such as Chris Paul of the Clippers. They have an inside combination of Griffin and Jordan Jr., and they do not lack inside players at all, but Paul is still here.
It was not until noon that no other players finally arrived.
"All of them are here. Except for the Heat players and Iguodala who is about to transfer, everyone else has come." Yi Jianlian said with a smile.
The Dream Team had a total of twelve players, but ten of them came, all of whom extended an olive branch to Yi Dun.
"Yidun, what are you thinking and which teams are more interested in?" Yi Jianlian asked curiously.
"Timberwolves, this team is quite suitable for me. I will get you and Sun Yue together at that time." Yi Dun said with a smile.
This sentence made Yi Jianlian stunned. Yi Dun actually wanted to bring himself and Sun Yue back to NBA?
"Don't be surprised, I do think so, and I'm very sure to do it."
"You also know that there are not many people who can play in our Chinese men's basketball team. You and Sun Yue are not old now. When training in NBA, the effect is better than playing in the bachelor's."
"Everyone is really strong. My goal is to one day kill the American Dream Team. I will definitely not be able to rely on myself alone." Yi Dun said solemnly.
Yi Jianlian was shocked. He didn't expect Yi Dun to have such ambitions, and he actually wanted to kill the Dream Team!
If the American men's basketball team did not send out the strongest lineup, it would not be very scary. With the current strength of the Chinese men's basketball team, there is a chance to compete with it.
But if you send a lineup like this year's Dream Team and want to kill the Dream Team, it will undoubtedly be as difficult as climbing the sky.
Now Yi Dun actually had the idea of killing the Dream Team, and Yi Jianlian was naturally shocked.
However, he also knew that with Yi Dun's ability, if he could have two or three NBA-level helpers and perform well, he would really be able to defeat Meng Ten Team.
However, the premise is that the Chinese men's basketball team can really provide Yi Dun with such help.
"Okay, if I can go back, I won't refuse."
"I don't think Sun Yue will refuse!" Yi Jianlian nodded and said.
If you can go back to the NBA to play, Yi Jianlian will definitely not refuse. Whether it is public or private, this is a good thing.
Playing in NBA will definitely not be the same as ba. NBA has the best players in the world, and they can learn something from these players.
Yu Gong said that as his strength improves, the overall strength of the Chinese men's basketball team will be improved.
In private, whether it is income or attention to playing in NBA, it is much higher than that of Ba.
Yi Jianlian is sure that if Sun Yue knew the news, he would definitely not refuse.
"Okay, then let's go to the Timberwolves, but I have to chat with Dongshan Men's Basketball Team, after all, there is a contract in it." Yi Dun said with a frown.
The contract matter is actually quite tricky, and Yi Dun can't guarantee that Dongshan Men's Basketball Team can really let him go.
...
With the arrival of the Sino-US war, many Chinese fans were so excited that they couldn't sleep at night, and were extremely looking forward to the arrival of this game.
China and the United States have also fought on the basketball court before, but at that time, not many fans had too much expectations for the Chinese men's basketball team to win the United States.
But now it's different. Although the possibility is still slim, at least I hope there is.
If you really win the Dream Team in surprise, it will definitely be an unforgettable event for Chinese fans in their lives.
Domestic media have already spread the word about this game. Because of Yi Dun, even those who were not very interested in basketball have become interested in watching this game.
...
"Dear audience, there is only the last half hour left before the quarterfinals of the Chinese men's basketball team."
"Guide Zhang, take advantage of the pre-match time, why not help us analyze the situation." CCTV commentary room started warming up the game half an hour in advance.
Zhang Weiping took a deep breath and could tell that he was also quite excited.
"It's a pity that we didn't belong to the same group with the US men's basketball team this time, so we met in the semi-finals. If we were in the same group as the US, then our semi-finals opponents may be teams like Spain or Argentina, so the winning side will definitely be much more."
"If that happens, you really don't want to say that we can really get a silver medal." Zhang Weiping said with a deep desire.
The host smiled and said, "It's actually not bad now. We have already obtained the top four guaranteed rankings, which has already broken through history."
"That's right, it's true. Judging from the current situation, it is still very promising that our Chinese men's basketball team will win a medal." Computer terminal::/
"Okay, let's wait and see. Looking forward to the performance of Yi Dun and the Chinese men's basketball players in this game!"
...
In the locker room, the Chinese men's basketball players sat on the bench with a solemn expression and listened to Dazhi's speech.
"Brothers, I don't say anything big, such as killing Team USA tonight."
"We just need to do our best to ensure that after playing this game, there is no regret in our hearts."
"We fully support Yidun on the court. Yidun is the key to whether we can win tonight!"
"Do a good defense, do a good job of shooting, and actively run and find opportunities to take action at open positions."
"I hope this game can become the most classic game in our career!" Dazhi said to the generals excitedly.
As a veteran who has been fighting in the field for countless years, it is really not easy to make Dazhi so excited.
...
Yi Dun was in a calm mood and was quietly waiting for the start of the game.
Not long after, it was time to play, Dazhi and the generals began to appear, and Yi Dun walked with Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue.
"Yidun, I heard Ah Lian say yesterday..." Sun Yue whispered a question and answer.
Yi Dun nodded, "Yes, be prepared. It turns out that Nessoda is quite cold, bring more thick clothes."
Sun Yue was overjoyed. Yi Jianlian did not lie to him. Yi Dun really wanted to take him to NBA.
He never doubted that Yi Dun had such ability and was not a very expensive player. Any team had to be bench players. Who would not sign?
A team generally has 15 places on the roster, and only half of them can get more playing time, that is, seven or eight.
What about those quotas left? That is naturally the so-called water dispenser guardian. Their existence actually has a slim impact on the overall strength of the team.
Sun Yue knew very well that as long as Yi Dun added himself to the signing conditions, the Timberwolves would never refuse.
And if you go to the NBA this time, because of Yi Dun's care, Sun Yue feels that he may get more playing time, and it is definitely not the same as playing soy sauce with the Lakers before.
If Sun Yue could really seize the opportunity to make a comeback, he would feel so excited that he would tremble when he thought about it.
"Okay, Yi Dun, don't worry, I will never let you down." Sun Yue said happily.
Yi Dun waved his hand, "Don't think so far, let's play tonight's game first, you have to fight for the opportunity yourself."
These words made Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue very energetic. It was extremely precious for them to have the opportunity to return to the NBA. They would definitely not want to miss such an opportunity.
Especially tonight, all the NBA stars were matched, and the two urgently needed to prove themselves on the court.
...
After arriving at the stadium, Yi Dun looked at the US men's basketball team.
American players now all look relaxed, and they certainly don’t have the tense expressions of Chinese players as if they are facing a big enemy.
It's normal to think about it. Although the Chinese men's basketball team is in the limelight now, I believe these American superstars don't think the Chinese men's basketball team will threaten them.
Several American players were talking and laughing, and after seeing Yi Dun, they waved to Yi Dun.
