All-Around Forward Swingman

However, Yi Jianlian's performance was not so good. He only scored 1 2 points in 10 shots, scored 4 points with free throws, and scored a total of 6 points. Fortunately, he got the team's highest 7 rebounds. Just can't explain it.

"It seems that Yi Jianlian has not yet integrated into the team. It is obvious that there are some communication problems between him and his teammates. Many times he catches the ball at the last moment and makes a forced shot, which is what everyone calls blame." Yu Jia was a little worried Said.

"It's normal. The Bucks themselves have the No. 1 pick in 2005, and they need to be trained. In addition, he just joined the NBA. The Bucks don't pay as much attention to Yao Ming as the Rockets did. He doesn't understand the language, and his personality is too introverted. This is not a good thing." Director Zhang also said.

"This is Yang Shan's advantage. He has lived in the United States for so many years and has almost integrated into this society. Coupled with Yao Ming's care, he is like a fish in water in the Rockets." Yu Jia talked about Yang Shan again.

"Yang Shan can only be said to be an example. The example I am talking about does not refer to his experience in the United States, but his strength. Even if he is not in the Rockets, he will soon (abed) become the core of the team with his strength. In the final analysis, on the basketball court, strength is the most important thing." Director Zhang shook his head and said.

After hearing this, Yu Jia didn't know what to do next. Normally, in games with players from the Celestial Dynasty, everyone would focus on this team. This is the first time Director Zhang said that the player's ability is not good enough.

"Of course, I'm not saying that the UAE's strength is not good, but that the team's use of him is wrong. In addition, the team's defender Moe Wilhelms is a player who is better at attacking than defending. The opportunities for the UAE are limited." Director Zhang also agreed Feeling wrong, quickly added.

After playing back-to-back road games, the Rockets headed to frigid Minnesota the next day against the Timberwolves.

Yao Ming was somewhat restricted in this game, allowing Jefferson to score 33 points on 14 of 26 shots and grab 16 rebounds. Fortunately, Yang Shan played strongly in this game. Facing Sebastian Telfair, who is 16 cm shorter than him, he made 12 of 15 three-pointers, scored 56 points, and sent 9 assists.

McGrady made 11 of 21 shots and scored 26 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists.

"This game is a bit interesting. Yang Shan's three-point shooting is very accurate. Both at home and abroad, there have been analysis on Yang Shan's three-point shooting theory, and there are mixed reviews. But I think Yang Shan's tactic is very good. That’s right, but if you want to make three-pointers a regular tactic, it can’t be done in a day or two. Ashuai needs to make a lot of tactical adjustments, including how the players use them.” After the game, Director Zhang analyzed.

"I don't think this tactic can be played by ordinary teams. Although the league's three-point line has been set for more than 20 years, the three-pointer has always been there as a icing on the cake. There has never been a team that uses the three-pointer as its main tactic. Even The Mavericks, the jump-shooting team we jokingly call, also focus on the mid-range shot.” ​​Yu Jia was not very interested in this three-point shooting tactic, so he could only say so.

"I still think there is Yang Shan who is good at shooting three-pointers. The Rockets should make good use of them. Not to mention that Yang Shan's three-point shooting rate is more than 50%, even if 40% is converted into two-pointers, he still has 60% Shooting percentage. With such a high shooting percentage, not to mention outsiders, it is rare for inside players to have such a high shooting percentage." Director Zhang said with a smile. .
