Chapter 457 The semi-final begins
According to Yi Jianlian's explanation, Iguodala is about to be sold, and I don't know which team to be sold to at present. How could he have the intention to help the team recruit Yi Dun?
And Iguodala is not the kind of player who can be on the list in the historical rankings, and the championship is not a necessary thing for him.
Therefore, there was no Iguodala in this tide of recruiting Yi Dun.
Apart from Iguodala, James also did not appear. It was normal for him not to appear. If he appeared, it would be very abnormal.
Now the salary of the Heat's Big Three Big Heat has almost completely squeezed out the Heat's salary cap. Not to mention Yi Dun's maximum salary, it is quite difficult for them to even get a middle-class contract.
Of course, they can also break up the team and find a way to sign Yi Dun.
But as a team that has just won the championship, it is a taboo to destroy the team, and no team will directly replace the team in the first year after winning the championship.
If you don’t have a super-major blood change, you can’t sign Yi Dun at all.
So it is impossible for James to appear before he appears.
As the referee whistle sounded, the starting players from both sides began to appear.
On the bench of the Chinese men's basketball team, Zhang Zhaoxu and others cheered loudly at the starter who appeared. Although they did not appear, they were honored to be with the team to this point today.
"come on!"
"Come on Dun, come up with a data that shocked them tonight."
"Let them see that in addition to Yao Ming, we also have superstars."
The players cheered one after another, Yi Dun smiled at the sidelines, and then followed Dazhi with big strides and walked onto the stadium.
This game tonight can be said to be the highest-standard game since Yi Dun entered the basketball circle, and it is also the strongest game for his opponent.
The starting lineup of the US men's basketball team is center Tyson Chandler, forward Durant and James, defenders Kobe and Paul.
Looking at the lineup of the American men's basketball team, it is actually easy to find that the NBA has indeed entered the era of the decline of the inside.
Of course, boxing champion Chandler's strength cannot be said to be poor, but in this starting lineup, it seems that there is no general Liao Hua in Shu to be a pioneer.
The other four players are all superstars of the history level, all of them are among the top 50 superstars in history. What about Chandler? He doesn't even have the qualification to enter the rankings.
What's even more embarrassing is that the starting lineup of the US men's basketball team does not have power forwards, and Durant and James are both small forwards.
From this we can understand why the teams are pursuing Yi Dun so crazy. In the years when the inside is withering, an inside overlord like Yi Dun suddenly appears. Who wouldn't be moved?
As the saying goes, those who win the inside will win the world. Even if the NBA has gradually shown signs of a small ball style, once the draft is in the draft, as long as there are outstanding big players, the pick will definitely not be low.
It is not a secret that there is a big election in the draft. In the past twenty years, there were a total of twenty top picks. As a result, only six of them were outside players, and the remaining fourteen top picks were all inside players.
The six outside picks are Glen Robinson, the Big Dog in 1994, Iverson in 1996, James in 2003, Derek Rose in 2008, John Wall in 2010 and Kyrie Irving in 2011.
If you really can't find any good players among the big guys, you can only choose the best players in the same class.
Not to mention that Yi Dun has such strong fighting power, so as long as Yi Dun participates in the draft, no matter which team has the No. 1 pick, he will definitely win Yi Dun without hesitation. There is no doubt about this.
Now Yi Dun thinks it is unlikely to participate in the draft, which makes all teams even more crazy because they have a greater chance of getting Yi Dun. After all, if Yi Dun participates in the draft, only the team with the No. 1 pick will have the chance to get Yi Dun.
After the starters of both sides appeared, the opponent's players greeted Yi Dun one after another, and Yi Dun nodded and returned. It seemed that the atmosphere of this game should not be too intense.
...
During the jump ball stage, Chandler won the first offensive leg for the US men's basketball team.
Yi Dun smacked his lips. His most headache moment came. Who should he defend?
Look at the opponent's four outside players, Durant, James, Kobe and Paul, Yi Dun feels that he can definitely defend one of them, but what about the remaining three?
Even though Yi Dun is very confident in his teammates, he is also very clear that with the defensive strength of Sun Yue and others, it is obviously impossible to have a good restrictive effect on these super stars.
According to Dazhi's pre-match arrangement, Yi Dun adapted to the situation in this game and would defend whoever has better offense efficiency.
...
Chris Paul slowly controlled the ball, and Liu Wei lowered his center of gravity and stared at Paul with all his attention.
The two had a physical contact outside the three-point line, and just an ordinary physical confrontation. Liu Wei was directly pushed back by Paul.
The power gap between the two is clear at a glance.
Yi Dun knew more about the lack of strength to fight against domestic and foreign players, but he didn't expect that the baby-faced man on the opposite side would be so much stronger than Liu Wei.
Although Paul has a baby face, his strength is actually extremely amazing. Among the active guards, Deron Williams is the only one who can surpass Paul in terms of strength.
Paul's 84kg bench press can be pushed ten times in a row, which is not his limit bench press!
As for domestic outside players, it is not an exaggeration to say that there are many people who can't even push 84 kilograms at a time.
As for De Xiaopang, he is even more exaggerated. He can push it fifteen times in a row. No wonder there is a saying that De Xiaopang eats, sleeps and beats Paul.
...
After pushing Liu Wei away, Paul did not force a three-pointer to make a move. Maybe he felt that there was no need to take action so hasty. Giving the ball to his teammates would have a better shooting percentage.
The ball was passed to Kobe who was waiting on his side, so Kobe would not think so much. After receiving the ball, he directly faced his old teammate Sun Yue's defense.
With a "swish", Kobe hit the opening mid-range shot.
Yi Dun could only smile helplessly. If Sun Yue missed the defense and was scored by Kobe, it must be Sun Yue's fault, but now Sun Yue's defense can't be faulted at all.
The ball rights change, and it was the Chinese men's basketball team's turn to attack the offensive round.
Yi Dun and others knew very well that if they wanted to win the US men's basketball team, they had to play every offensive round on their side!
Because you can't defend your opponent, you can only improve your shooting rate as much as possible. Offense is the best defense. As long as the shooting rate can be higher than the opponent, it is the best defense.
Yi Dun has actively run to the basket and fallen position. Since he wants to play shooting percentage and positional battles, he naturally has to become the end point of his own offense.
...
Liu Wei did not dare to be arrogant. Facing Chris Paul's defense, he was very cautious in passing, for fear of being stolen.
Paul's stealing ability is so powerful. It took five years from 2007 to now. As a result, Paul won the NBA season stealing king in four seasons...
Faced with such a player, the experienced Liu Wei wished he could hand the ball to Yi Dun.
Liu Wei originally wanted to break through to the near-inside line and then passed the ball to Yi Dun from close range. As a result, several attempts ended in failure. Although he was taller than Paul, his strength was one level lower. In the end, he could only use Sun Yue's transmission to pass the ball to Yi Dun with difficulty.
Yi Dun breathed a sigh of relief, pushed away Chandler behind him, and turned over and dunked directly.
The generals of the Dream Team were not surprised to see this scene. They must have been quite clear about Yi Dun's strength, otherwise they would not have been lined up to recruit Yi Dun.
If Yi Dun can't even solve the problem of players of Chandler's level, then it would be completely unnecessary for them to recruit Yi Dun.
