Disadvantages: lack of upper limb strength, poor back frame ability, single attack means, poor interpretation of the game, and poor language.
I have watched Yi Jianlian's games the most, but when it comes to his future prospects in the NBA, it is the most elusive one. I keep Pau Gasol as an NBA template for Yi Jianlian, but to be honest, the possibility that Yi Jianlian can be the next Gasol is almost zero. A poor version of CIC andris biedrins might be more appropriate. The discussion about his future has been discussed in a special area, so I won't mention it here. What worries me now is Yi Jianlian's English. The last sentence: don't be too optimistic or too pessimistic. What is needed now is patience.

In the last year and a half, Yi Jianlian has played 160 official games, most of which were played as the main force for more than 30 minutes. Although more than 65,438+0/4 of them have low exercise value because of weak opponents' inside lines, the accumulated competition experience and physical reserve are almost unique among players of the same age in the world with such intensive and high-intensity schedules and so many inside tests.
Offensively, in addition to the famous attack method-dunk, Yi Jianlian has developed a stable mid-range shot in recent two years, covering the whole three-point line, with the highest hit rate near the free-throw line, above 60%, while relatively speaking, the hit rate of the two-wing zero-angle jumper is less than 50%. It is worth noting that although Yi Jianlian has a certain three-point ability-he demonstrated this as early as the 2003 World Youth Championship, and his three-point shooting skills are also considerable-he has almost never used it in actual combat. Throughout the 2005-06 season, he only made 14 threes (hitting 5 balls, mostly 24). In the 2004-05 season, CBA made 53 shots 13 times, while in the 2003-04 season, CBA 531game made three shots. This shows that as an inside player, he is more willing to score inside rather than floating around.
In addition to simple dunks, in-situ jumpers and secondary attacks, Yi Jianlian is also developing more offensive methods this season: turning jumpers, backward jumpers and hooks. At the same time, his skills of challenging defense and cheating fouls are gradually increasing. In many games, he can really rely on his agile pace and good shooting feel, which is enough to make his opponent's inside (often far above him in age, experience and weight) helpless and violently attack. But once faced with tough and experienced defense experts or targeted double-team defense, his new offensive means often end in mistakes. However, it is obvious that his diverse offensive talents are rapidly evolving. In the ongoing CBA Finals, facing Bayi Team, the strongest defender in CBA League, he showed a variety of unprecedented skillful and highly successful attacks: taking the ball head-on and dunking; Duncan hooked the board; The changeable pace and fake action get rid of the opponent's soft pick on the basket ... I believe this action will fascinate many NBA scouts who arrive at the scene.
Generally speaking, Yi Jianlian's attack is simple and alert, but he doesn't dodge and develops firmly into the inside. His attack is weak, except that some high-tech offensive means have low success rate in actual combat, and it is difficult to send the ball into the basket (including dunk) when he is fouled or physically collided, which is related to the lack of strength of his arms and wrists.
His dribbling and passing are excellent among big men above 6- 10. He is very experienced in holding the ball at a high position, and both hands can control the ball skillfully. Although his catching and dribbling are easy to make mistakes in the face of double defense, he is not a small forward or defender after all. Of course, more dribbling mistakes in the back basket attack will affect his inside attack efficiency.
Defensively, he can read the opponent's attack tactfully, so as to choose the best defensive position, or bypass the front line, or change the defense to make up the defense, which makes him get a lot of steals (2.0 times per game in 2005-06 season), and his excellent jumping ability and accurate judgment bring him 1.3 blocks per game (by the way, in CBA, due to the amateurs and statisticians, Yi Jianlian was officially counted as blocked three times in a game, but according to the reporter's on-site records, he had three times in the fourth quarter and more than seven times in the audience. In a team with a sound defense system, he will be a living chess player in interior defense, making defensive tactics flexible and changeable.
But in the face of two kinds of opponents, Yi Jianlian is prone to foul and lose points: a big man much older than him and a little man much younger than him. For the former, he was weak and unable to fight. For the latter, he was cheated and fouled because he wanted a block too much. In the past two years, Yi Jianlian's strength has grown to be able to compete with opponents who are 20 Jin heavier than himself, but he is often powerless in the face of higher and heavier opponents; Although he is an excellent shot blocker at CBA level, he is still immature in timing and rhythm, and it is common to fall into the foul trap because of too many unnecessary fouls. In this sense, he is not an excellent one-on-one defender, and his supplementary defense is better than single defense.
Yi Jianlian is a good frontcourt rebounder. His quick judgment and persistent take-off ability allowed him to get three frontcourt rebounds per game, most of which were directly converted into supplementary points. But relatively speaking, his rebounding control in the backcourt is not commensurate with his bouncing ability. He knows how to get stuck, but he is neither dead nor hard. He sometimes believes too much in his own quality, but some of them are not relaxed enough to actively predict the impact of the ball. But when he successfully took off, his competitiveness in the air was even better. If it weren't for the other two top rebounders in the league (Jason Dixon, Jason Dixon and Du Feng), his rebounding number would be considerable, and the current figure is 9.6 (6.6 after the top three).
7 feet high, 7-2 wingspan, 85CM vertical takeoff, sprint speed comparable to 6 feet defender. In terms of physical fitness, he can be said to be the top in Asia. Even compared with African-Americans, he is above average, with excellent bounce, speed and explosive power. As far as the strength that scouts often criticize is concerned, his strength has been greatly enhanced after he entered the national team and accepted the Europeanized physical training program. At present, his bench press data is 80- 100 kg, each group 10- 12 times, with 4-5 groups for each training; At the same time, his leg strength has also been greatly enhanced. As a lightweight power forward of about 240 kg, this strength is enough. Specifically, what he lacks most now is not his waist and legs, but his upper limbs, arms and wrists. Now he needs to strengthen not only his strength, but also the skills of using his physical strength. In this respect, China's basketball training is very lacking.
Yi Jianlian is a subtle and aggressive player. His basketball IQ and acceptance are high, and he is good at playing team basketball. He knows how to adjust himself and rarely falls into more than two downturns; For the challenges and injuries of his opponents, he often responds by glaring and dunking. He is a good team player in the powerful Guangdong Hongyuan Club and the China national team with Yao Ming. In other weak national youth teams, he also has a lot of arbitrariness of "I want to take over the game and I want to win my opponent by myself". In the past year, because of too many games-including many boring games caused by weak opponents-he showed signs of war-weariness and laziness in some games. In my opinion, this may be a common problem when young people lack challenges. He should come to the NBA earlier and accept more challenges, and his personality is suitable for this stage.
Have a nice day.
