Participated in the NBA draft on June 29th, 2007, and was selected by Milwaukee Bucks in the sixth place. On the afternoon of August 29th, China basketball player Yi Jianlian officially signed a contract to join the Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA. Yi Jianlian, with a height of 2m 12, became the fourth China player to enter the NBA after Wang, Bater and Yao Ming. He was also the first China player to experience the draft process on the spot.
Yi Jianlian/KLOC-entered the China Professional League (CBA) at the age of 0/8. During his five seasons in Guangdong Hongyuan, he helped the team win three CBA championships.
In the 2005-06 season, Yi Jianlian became the youngest MVP in CBA history by averaging 19.8 points and 9.7 rebounds in the finals.
1984101On October 27th, Yi Jianlian was born in the home of an ordinary postal worker in Heshan City, Guangdong Province. Father Yi is 1.9 1, and mother Mai Meiling is 1.73, both of whom are members of the handball team. My 5-year-old (1989) parents moved to Shenzhen with their work. 1in the summer of 1999, 15-year-old, 1.94-meter-long United Arab League signed up for the Shenzhen street basketball game on a whim, but was eliminated in the first round. But an amateur sports school coach who has been observing carefully on the sidelines is a treasure, because he saw a child with outstanding motor nerve and gas field. Coach Dai Yixin first persuaded his parents to let him participate in the training of Shenzhen Sports School, and then contacted the coach in charge of youth training in Guangdong Hongyuan Club, a professional league of domestic giants, and designed a systematic training plan for him. His height has increased rapidly and is out of control.
On the second day after his birthday on June 5438+00, 2000, Yi Jianlian, who was only 16 years old and 2.02 meters tall, was selected by Guangdong Hongyuan Club and became a member of the youth team. Then, he was selected into the national youth team of China and embarked on the road of basketball. He has comprehensive skills, coordinated movements and strong flexibility.

5. Technical analysis
Yi Jianlian's score mostly depends on his dunk, offensive rebound, fixed-point jumper and mid-range turn jumper. He has excellent shooting feel and explosive power, and is one of the few China players who are willing to end their attack with a dunk. At about 5 feet from the basket, he can try every chance to score, including making opponents foul. [1] Yi Jianlian is in good health, but his scoring ability in physical contact is not excellent. This is also a key for most ball critics to worry about whether he can stand in the NBA. Previous big centers such as Yao Ming and Dirk Nowitzki all had problems of poor defense and insufficient antagonism, and Yi Jianlian's shooting percentage was also low after his opponent fouled.

9. Arab League drafting process
Larry Harris, general manager of Bucks, has always stressed that Yi Team had been given an early warning before the draft. After replacing Yi Jianlian, Harris hoped that he could play for the Bucks in the next game, but dan fegan, Yi Jianlian's agent, was very silent. He never responded to Harris's remarks in public.
"I reminded Yi Jianlian's team very early. This is not to scare them, because the team will choose the best players. It was Yi Jianlian who was not mentally prepared, so he was surprised. " Harris said.
Compared with Yi Jianlian's reluctance, Bucks obviously have a very long-term plan for him. Yi Jianlian is expected to start with former No.1 scholar Bogert, and he can at least share playing time with junior Villanueva. "I think it's perfect for Yi Jianlian and Bogert to join hands." Bob Kirk, personal affairs director of Bucks, said, "He can defend, rebound and run fast. He and Bogert complement each other and are a good combination. "
Yi Jianlian will travel to Dallas and Las Vegas with the China national team. Harris hopes to meet him there, but the specific schedule has not yet been arranged. The China men's basketball team must first compete with the American youth team below 19, and then with the Mavericks summer league team.
Although Bucks chose Yi Jianlian, they didn't dare to be careless, because Yi Team may also let Yi Jianlian stay in China for another year. Yi Jianlian's current contract still belongs to Guangdong team, and owner Chen Haitao has the right not to release Yi Jianlian. If so, it will be a heavy blow to the bucks. However, Harris is confident that Yi Jianlian wants to play in the NBA and will eventually like Milwaukee.
Yi Jianlian is regarded as the leader of a new generation of players in China, and his age is his greatest advantage. Yao Ming 19 was not as good as Yi Jianlian, so many people had high expectations of Yi Jianlian. "Yao Ming faced many difficulties when he first entered the NBA. At that time, he could not speak English." Bob Cork said, "Yi Jianlian once stayed in the United States for a while. He got in touch with a lot of things in advance and can adapt to the NBA quickly. "
Harris reacted strongly to criticism that he had never been to China to watch Yi Jianlian's game. He claimed that scouts Howard and Castillo were sent to follow Yi Jianlian. "We specially visited Yi Jianlian at the Doha Asian Games last year and watched his three games in five days. This on-site evaluation is very valuable. " Howard said. "From my personal point of view, the bucks are very lucky to choose him."
10. The United Arab League is in the NBA.
[Edit this paragraph]
Yi Jianlian joined the Milwaukee Bucks in 2007.
According to NBA regulations, the first-round rookie will get a 3+ 1 contract. According to the arrangement of the sixth rookie, the salary of the United Arab League in the first year of NBA will be $2,365,438+0,000. Subsequently, this figure will increase year by year, reaching $2.4 million in the second year and $2.6 million in the third year. In the fourth year, the team that finally owns the United Arab League will have the priority to renew the contract. If the United Arab League renews its contract with the first NBA boss in the fourth year, he will get at least $2.77 million in salary according to the rookie contract.
1 1. Visit Yi Jianlian
Yi Jianlian, who is about to start running the NBA,
I've never picked up any martial arts secrets like Sunflower Collection.
There is a long chain behind him, and everyone on it,
Become his supporter.
There are bigger challenges waiting for him in the future.
And this chain is still extending.
He doesn't have the absolute height of Yao Ming, Yao Ming is 2.26 meters, and Yi Jianlian is only 2. 12 meters, so he has no advantage compared with American players. He doesn't have the solid technical and footwork foundation laid by Yao Ming when he left CBA, and his back to the basket is also quite green. He is the first non-pure center player exported from China to NBA. In the traditional basketball concept, height means value.
But on the opposite side of tradition, it is precisely the embodiment of Yi Jianlian's most concentrated advantage. Because he doesn't have the height of Yao Ming, he has the speed that Yao Ming doesn't have, and he can run fast with the little man; Because he doesn't have the height of Yao Ming, he has the high achilles tendon that Yao Ming doesn't have, and the vertical jump height far exceeds the height of Yao Ming's fingertips standing on the ground; Because he doesn't have the height of Yao Ming, he has the explosive power that Yao Ming doesn't have, and he can rise at any time.
From the traditional point of view, Yi Jianlian is an engineer or a giant at most in an era when the center wins the world, or a team that strictly executes the half-court attack. Yi Jianlian wrestled in the basket where his arm collided with his thigh and made a loud noise, and there was no room for survival. However, after the traditional basketball was completely subverted in these five years, Yi Jianlian's face suddenly became clear.
The speed of basketball, the accuracy of shooting skills and the importance in the game have far surpassed the previous era. Therefore, basketball is returning to be the sport with the first speed and the second height. The tall center gradually disappeared, not only because of its own growth, but also because of the change of basketball climate. On the defensive end, the speed of big centers often makes them the biggest loophole; On the offensive end, it is difficult for a big center to guarantee his efficiency when the opponent with the dominant speed keeps detouring, attacking and harassing. More and more teams began to run like the sun until they got rid of the crazy freak like the Warriors. Only three teams in NBA are still performing traditional half-court offense and defense: Yao Ming Rockets, shaquille O 'Neill Heat and Duncan Spurs. (At present, O 'Neal has moved to the Suns) In the second round of the playoffs, only the Spurs are still alive, because Duncan is the fastest big man.
The Rockets lost to Jazz in the first round because of their speed. It is quite difficult for jazz to fight warriors, and it is also because of speed. Yao Ming's first vow after he was eliminated was to improve his speed in summer. O 'Neill's back is drifting away, and Yao Ming is like the last dinosaur in the center field.
If you take out the basketball video of five years ago, you will find that today's basketball world is brand new. In today's world, Yi Jianlian has the most critical conditions-speed and height based on speed. This is why he is still regarded as a genius by NBA teams in this year's draft. Even though he did not perform well in two world competitions (the 2004 Athens Olympic Games and the 2006 World Championships), the overall ranking prediction is on the rise.
If Yi Jianlian can work as hard as Yao Ming in the NBA-he can take strength training as his daily routine and make the muscles of his shoulders and upper limbs swell rapidly; Eat strictly according to the recipes recommended by the team to further strengthen your muscle density; Hard training in offensive skills will enable him to open his bow left and right whether facing the basket or facing his back to the basket. He will realize his childhood ambition-he won't lurk under the projection of Yao Ming, but will reap another kind of success completely different from that of Yao Ming.
In fact, Yi Jianlian has never stood with Yao Ming. He has always stood on the opposite side of Yao Ming.
Yao Ming grew up in Shanghai, and the modern world contains traditions; Yi Jianlian grew up in Shenzhen. He is too modern to be traditional.
Yao Ming was always underestimated before he established himself in the NBA. Yi Jianlian has always been very popular, although he has not made any great achievements.
Yao Ming is thoughtful and witty; Yi Jianlian is not good at words and doesn't like to express himself.
Yao Ming is not handsome; Yi Jianlian has the face of Zhang Yingxiong …
Yi Jianlian will start running without taking the road of Yao Ming.
The man who gave him height
A player, a talented player, this is Yi Jianlian's initial impression. Because of his height and his bounce, people can see at a glance that he is a player with great development space. It was his parents who gave him such conditions.
In Shenzhen, the home of the United Arab League, Yi's parents are sitting on the sofa in front of an interview machine that has begun to turn. Because of the backlight, I can't see his parents' faces clearly at once, only knowing that this is a tall couple.
Alian's parents are both Cantonese. Father is nearly 2 meters tall, and mother 1.8 meters above. They are both handball players. After retiring, they worked in Shenzhen Post Office and usually played some basketball games on behalf of the unit. When two people go to play games, sometimes they bring the United Arab League. At that time, the United Arab League was not interested in basketball. Every time he goes with his parents, he just runs around the sideline and plays with the children. Perhaps it is because he often follows his parents to watch games, and the United Arab League has gradually learned about basketball.
Alian's parents didn't expect that their son would appear on the basketball court one day. People who have been athletes generally don't agree with their children to engage in sports again, and the parents of the United Arab League have never thought about letting him play. If the coach of the sports school hadn't come to you, they wouldn't have moved this idea.
"At that time, we didn't know what game he played, and it was only when the teacher of the sports school found us that we knew that he had participated in the three-on-three basketball match in Shenzhen," said the mother of the United Arab League. Alian is an introverted child. When he was young, his parents didn't notice his extraordinary basketball talent except for his extraordinary height.
At present, Yi Jianlian is 2. 12 meters tall, which is the tallest among all the family members. His height comes from heredity. "In our three generations, I am the shortest, and the grandfather of the United Arab League is taller than me," said the father of the United Arab League, taking out a photo. "The grandfather in the middle is the grandfather of the United Arab League, 2.02 meters. This height is particularly rare among Cantonese. "
With his extraordinary height, inherited from his parents' jumping ability, and his parents are handball players, the United Arab League has a particularly good feeling about the ball since childhood. Ah Lian also said that it was innate factors that made him master the sport quickly.
After the United Arab League became a player, his parents still took care of him as they did when they were children. Every time I visit him in Dongguan, his mother will help him clean up the room carefully, and Alian tries to find time to have dinner and chat with her parents.
The man who dug him up
Dai Yixin worked as a coach in Jiangsu Sports School in his early years and developed Hu Weidong. After being transferred to Shenzhen Sports School ten years ago, he found Yi Jianlian. Where Bole goes, there is Bole.
When he came to Shenzhen, the Shenzhen Sports Bureau had just been established and was ready to form a basketball team. Coach Dai Yixin went to the street to choose seedlings. At that time, a three-person basketball game was held in Luohu District, and Yi Jianlian secretly participated without telling his parents. Although his team was eliminated in the first round, the big man left a deep impression on the audience. Dai Yixin asked around about the whereabouts of this great man. "I remember one afternoon when we were training, a big man came over and told me politely that my name was Yi Jianlian." Dai immediately stopped training and looked at the self-reported child.
Yi Jianlian made a special trip back to Shenzhen to visit his mentor before going to the United States, and they talked about the scene of their first meeting. Yi Jianlian's first impression on the coach was that he was "very tall, about 1.90 meters, and well-proportioned. He is a rare basketball genius. " Yi Jianlian said that he still remembers that the teacher asked him to run a few steps and then do a few preparatory moves. At that time, I felt that the teacher was very gentle and authoritative.
The next day, coach Dai asked Yi Jianlian to come to the sports school again and gave him a comprehensive test. This result made him very excited. "Our selection of materials generally depends on the athlete's appearance, quality, nerve type, heredity and growth and development. When I saw Yi Jianlian, I thought he was longer, so I measured his bone age. According to my experience in leading Jiangsu Youth Team and comparing the bone age records of Hu Weidong, it is conservatively estimated that the United Arab League can grow to more than 2.08 meters. This height is very competitive in China. Other data also make me very optimistic about his development. "
It's hard for Dai to get such a good prospect, because the parents of the United Arab League don't agree with their children to engage in sports. "They have practiced sports for half their lives and think it is a chore. They don't want to let their children go this way again. I can understand them, but I can't bear to give up such a good prospect. " Coach Dai said. In the end, the two sides reached a compromise and let the United Arab League go to the sports school for training first. As for whether to formally enter the sports school, we will talk about it later.
After training under coach Dai for three months, the height of the United Arab League jumped from 1.92 meters to 1.95 meters, and its physical coordination improved rapidly. Parents also think that this child is really sports material, but at this time, Ah Lian himself hesitated, because he likes reading very much, and he doesn't quite believe that he can do anything in basketball. "He just thinks he likes basketball and can practice in his spare time. He doesn't want to go to a sports school." Dai was almost desperate.
Unexpectedly, when the sports school started, Ah Lian came to report with his luggage.
Then everything will be fine. Dai deliberately cultivated his basketball potential for the future development of the United Arab League. Before long, the head coach of Guangdong Youth Team was attracted. He also thinks that the United Arab League is a rare prospect and often exchanges training plans with coach Dai.
The man who helped him get on the horse
Among the coaches of the United Arab League, two people gave decisive support at the critical moment of his growth, namely Li Chunjiang, the former head coach of Guangdong Hongyuan, and Li Qun, the current head coach. They are the most important people in the growth of the United Arab League.
One day in the winter of 2003, Shanghai Luwan Gymnasium. Li Chunjiang called Yi Jianlian to his side, whispered a few words and patted him on the shoulder. The United Arab League adjusted the No.9 competition suit and made a substitution gesture to the record desk. Then, he took the first step in CBA. Li Chunjiang chose to show the United Arab League in Yao Ming's hometown. Obviously, he is announcing to China fans in this way: Yao Ming is gone and Yi Jianlian is here!
Li Chunjiang has been the coach of the team since the United Arab League entered CBA and won the championship for the third time. In his plan, the United Arab League will one day become the core of Hongyuan team. At that time, the United Arab League was a little green and could not compare with those experienced players. On the competition field, there are many mistakes, and physical confrontation is not dominant at all. However, Li Chunjiang still gave the United Arab League considerable time to get used to this arena and make progress slowly.
The United Arab League lived up to his hopes. Since 2004, it has become the main force of Guangdong Hongyuan. Although it is not the core of the team's attack, as long as he is on the court, the opponent can't do anything with the Guangdong team. Whether attacking or defending, the United Arab League is the most important piece in Li Chunjiang's hand. Three consecutive championships, this is the biggest reward for the United Arab League in the Li Chunjiang era.
Time flies. In the summer of 2006, Hongyuan changed the head coach. Li Qun, the old captain, sat in the position of head coach, and at this time, the United Arab League has really become the core of the team.
Li Qun took over the team, and the United Arab League immediately became the first attack point of Hongyuan. On the one hand, Li Qun changed the Guangdong team's previous outside-based style of play, focusing on inside-line attack. On the other hand, the United Arab League is quite mature and has considerable dominance in the field. Li Qun believes in the ability of the United Arab League, and the United Arab League also hopes to help Li Qun win the last championship before he leaves. In this way, he and his old teammates began to fight side by side again.
Maybe this is fate. Just when the United Arab League was full of ambition and wanted to win the fourth championship, Wang came back. He became a mountain in front of the United Arab League and Li Qun. March 28th, 2007, the day that the United Arab League may never forget. When Zhang Jinsong hit the penultimate goal from the free throw line, the United Arab League walked towards Li Qun with his head down. He failed to realize his wish, and Li Qun's face lost expression. He patted the passing United Arab League and said nothing. This is the last cooperation between two people in this field, but the result is not satisfactory to them.
From entering CBA to leaving, he only experienced two head coaches. But what the two people brought him was completely different.
The person who criticizes the most
"Easy!"
In the last two years, this voice is the most familiar name of the national team to the United Arab League. It's not so much a salute as a shout. This is from the mouth of the national team coach Junas. Sometimes it represents anger, sometimes it represents jokes, and sometimes it represents dissatisfaction. If one day Ah Lian writes a memoir, I believe he will describe this old man-Junas, the coach who criticized me the most.
Yes, Junus criticized Yi Jianlian the most. You can hear him calling the name of the United Arab League in every training match. Of course, there is only one word "Yi". Many people don't understand why the United Arab League is always criticized by Lao You. Sometimes the United Arab League doesn't understand it very well.
Since Junas came to China in 2004, the United Arab League has been one of his favorite players. Foreign coaches have a characteristic: they will give more opportunities to people they like, and this person who is favored by coaches may also be criticized the most. There is a simple reason. The coach criticizes you a lot because he values you. If he doesn't even bother to criticize, I'm afraid you'll lose your place in his mind.
In the summer of 2006, Junas led a team to travel to Europe. Thanks to Wang's return, the United Arab League can finally comfortably return to its power forward position. Junas doesn't need to say much about Dazhi. Because this is a player he doesn't need to criticize or encourage often, but the United Arab League is different. In that game, the name of the United Arab League was the loudest one called by Lao You.
The first game, played in Italy, lost. Ah Lian was very depressed when he was replaced, so he threw the towel to the ground. Junas, standing on the sidelines, saw his one eye and said nothing. Ah Lian is very unhappy. Not only did he lose the game, but he was criticized by Junas many times on the court because he could never guard against the power forward who could shoot three points. Back to the hotel, Hu Jiashi, deputy director of the basketball management center of the team, stopped the player. He told everyone: "I won't say who it is. What I want to say is that Lao You is good to you. One day he doesn't want to scold, and you are not far from home. "
This is for the United Arab League. Although the United Arab League doesn't understand why Junas always takes the initiative, he knows that he always gets the most opportunities. During Yao Ming's absence, the United Arab League played the role of center and power forward, and started every game. Junas likes the United Arab League because he sees its potential. But he can't tolerate the mistakes made by the United Arab League again and again on the court, so he will constantly criticize the United Arab League.
The United Arab League will go to the United States for training this summer and can't come back to participate in the national team training. Junasz is very supportive and often asks him about his situation in America. Lao You thinks that although the United Arab League can't train with the national team in the United States for the time being, as long as he makes progress there, it may be better for Junas than for him to practice at home.
A person who runs a small stove
I don't know when it started, and there is another person around the United Arab League. Every CBA game, this person will wear gold-rimmed glasses, sit behind the coaching staff of Hongyuan team, and keep writing on the paper with a basketball leather book in his hand. His name is Jerry O 'Connor, an American, and he used to be a scout for the NBA team. In the Guangdong team, his identity is even more special. He's here to give Ah Lian a small stove.
Jerry O 'Connor's name is no stranger to China fans. In 2002, O 'Connor first came to China. At that time, he was Faye Wong's assistant and national team consultant. At that time, he didn't know Yi Jianlian, because the United Arab League had not yet entered the CBA and the national team. Five years later, O 'Connor has become an extremely important figure around the United Arab League.
"Now practice 10 free throws, and then practice three-pointers." Every day after Hongyuan's training, O 'Connor will stay alone to practice strength and some skills for the United Arab League. It was with his help that the United Arab League performed exceptionally well in the CBA season before leaving.
O 'Connor is not an excellent NBA coach, but he knows the NBA and knows what kind of "energy" the United Arab League needs to supplement to adapt to NBA games. In the season when he coached the United Arab League, the United Arab League gained weight, the muscles on his arms were obviously stronger than before, and he also practiced three-pointers. Although the hit rate is not high, several performances in the game have made people stunned.
The United Arab League went to the United States, where he trained alone and prepared to be selected by the NBA. O 'Connor is still with him. After a year of contact, he is more familiar with the United Arab League than anyone from the NBA, and knows his characteristics better.
