"You've learned too much, haven't you?"

Yang Di took a sip of water and said: "Passing or something is not a very important skill, you should practice in training, three-point shooting and defense are the most important." ”

"Well, yes, passing is just practice now, and the main thing is three-pointers and defense, and rebounding." Yi Jianlian said with a smile, he knew in his heart what Yang Di was worried about him, and couldn't help but be a little moved, "We are now almost in the rebounding competition, and my card position skills still need to be practiced, which requires stronger strength support." ”

"If you are stuck in a position, the key is awareness, every attack, every defense, in fact, contains the opportunity to get in position."

"Sometimes when you get stuck in the main position, you will be robbed of the rebound, I am now okay in the front court, but the backcourt rebounding protection is very weak, which is what the coach is more worried about, and the Hornets also want to strengthen the interior line, and want to find a more pure defensive interior line, so in fact, my starting position is not stable at all."

Yang Di nodded to show understanding, Yi Jianlian is actually still very embarrassed, and David West's position basically overlaps, if he can't shoot three-pointers, he will definitely not be able to enter the Hornets' starter, the Hornets now see that he is young, has a high rank, and is also a potential talent, so he is still in the starter, in fact, he is still looking for a defensive center who is more suitable for Paul.

"yes, I know that, so it's still very stressful."

"Don't be pressured, just be yourself." Yang Di said with a smile: "You have made a lot of progress, what is your goal for this year, have you set it?" ”

Yi Jianlian said with a smile: "If you want to score more than 15 points, you must also have more than 7 rebounds, and then the three-point shooting rate cannot be less than 35 percent, and the team's goal is to help our Hornets enter the playoffs, we have the strength." ”

"Reasonable." Yang Di gave a thumbs up.

Yang Di suddenly talked about Sun Yue again, "Sun Yue is also good in the Spurs, Popovich has cultivated him as an outside defensive substitute, constantly honing back and forth before developing the league and the home team, that is, it will take some time to enter the rotation lineup." ”

"It's always good to train in the NBA, and when I return to China, I will be much better than others."

"That's right, Sun Yue mainly practices defense and three-pointers, which is similar to your development direction, but he practices outside blocking defense, his height and arm span are not bad, he mainly attacks in this direction, and the Spurs are still very confident in him, and occasionally let him play."

"Popovich is a good coach." Yi Jianlian also realized that Sun Yue had entered a good team, and under the super aura of Yang Di and Yao Ming, they received much less attention relatively speaking, and Sun Yue was more suitable for Spurs' style and lewd development.

The two chatted until nearly three o'clock, and then went to the stadium together.

Inside the arena, the Hornets and Warriors have been working out in their respective training halls for pre-game training, waiting together for the evening's game.

In the evening, the Warriors narrowly defeated the Hornets 109-104, and the Hornets launched a comeback in the final quarter and almost reversed the Warriors on the road.

Paul had 31 points, 14 assists and 5 steals, with only one turnover, while Yang Di scored a game-high 37 points, and David West and Yi Jianlian couldn't stop him together.

Yi Jianlian performed well, scoring 19 points in this Chinese derby, but only 5 rebounds, which is too little for an insider.

After the game, Yang Di still expressed his recognition of Yi Jianlian.

"He's very good, he's very athletic, he's a spatial four, I think he's the kind of interior player that a lot of teams need right now, and he's able to shoot threes, he's all-rounded, and he's really a great interior player."

Yi Jianlian expressed his gratitude to Yang Di, "He has helped me a lot, and what I want now is to do better in the next game." ”

Yi Jianlian gradually began to emerge in the league.

……

In mid-November, the Warriors embarked on a wave of road trips to the East, starting with a trip to Toronto to challenge the Raptors.

The Raptors relied on TJ Ford's super play and fought with the Warriors in four quarters, and finally Yang Di assisted Ray Allen to hit a key three-pointer to take away the game.

The Warriors went 106-104 to make it a three-game winning streak.

At the same time, the Lakers also lost, an unexpected loss to the Atlanta Hawks, and the Warriors returned to the top spot in the West with a 5-1 record.

In the East, the Celtics are still undefeated at the top of the table, and the Big Three who have passed the trade are extraordinary, and Anji's wave of operations can only convince the giants' strong appeal and rebirth.

In New York, the Warriors beat the Knicks 105-82.

The Knicks have completely failed, Isaiah Thomas's years with the Knicks have proved that he has an extraordinary draft vision, but it has also proved that he has probably the worst management ability in the league, so far, the Knicks not only do not have a core that can be handled, the locker room culture is terrible, even the draft picks are overdrawn, and the whole situation has become a mess, not something that can be recovered in a year or two.

The day after the win over the Knicks, the Warriors traveled to Boston, where the Warriors will take on the new Celtics.

Previously, the Celtics not only tasted no defeat, but also had a 9-0 record, creating the team's best start in nearly two decades.

The Warriors are the defending champions, having won the title last two years, and the two teams have met and have immediately become the focus of attention.

……

Boston, TD North Shore Gardens.

This season's new atmosphere has shaken the entire North Shore Garden Arena, with Boston fans supporting the Celtics like never before, and the number of fans coming to watch is clearly on the rise.

The Green Shirts have risen strong and dominated the Atlantic Division.

When Yang Di and the others entered the inside of the stadium, they also obviously felt the different atmosphere of the North Shore Garden.

As far as the eye can see, there is a large group of Boston fans in green jerseys.

So far this season, the two teams with the fastest jersey increment are the Lakers and the Celtics, and the rise of the two giants has become the most talkative topic at the beginning of the 07-08 season.

Yang Di was amazed, looking at the Celtics' home court, although he knew that it was just an ordinary regular season, he also became a little enthusiastic.

It didn't take long for the Celtic players to be introduced.

Both starters stayed on the pitch.

Warriors: Byron Davis, Ray Allen, Danny Granger, Jandy, Tyson Chandler.

And the Celtics starters are: Rajon Rondo, Michael Petrus, Paul Pearce, Pau Gasol and Ben Wallace.
