The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

Yi Jianlian's choice is very surprising, because Yi Jianlian's situation last season was seen by everyone, and he was not valued by the Nets management at all. His playing time and opportunities were reduced to the lowest in history. No other team is interested in Yi Jianlian.

According to normal thinking, Yi Jianlian has to leave a way out for himself. Taking advantage of the NBA suspension, he first returns to the CBA to adapt.

But Yi Jianlian chose to stay in the United States to continue training because he was the top iron. It seems that he never thought about the possibility of returning to the CBA.

They naturally didn't know that Wang Xiao and Yi Jianlian had an implicit agreement. If Yi Jianlian's three-point ability met Wang Xiao's expectations, then Wang Xiao would offer Yi Jianlian an offer contract.

In the CBA, is it possible for Yi Jianlian to practice three-pointers all day long? Impossible. It is impossible for any team coach to let Yi Jianlian, who is like a big insider in the CBA, run outside to shoot three-pointers, and the three-point line in the CBA is also closer than the NBA. to his practice.

Wang Xiao can see his determination from Yi Jianlian's refusal to play in the CBA, and he is also looking forward to Yi Jianlian's changes in a few months.

If Yi Jianlian can really make the expected improvement beyond the three-point line, Wang Xiao will definitely keep him, and even give Yi Jianlian a lot of playing time.

Antawn Jamison will be 36 years old after this year. Although his style of play is biased towards pitchers, his physical fitness and confrontation are still inevitably beginning to degenerate.

Yi Jianlian has height and his speed is not too bad. If he can develop a three-pointer, he can just take over Jamison's position.

The Wizards currently hoard a large number of swingmen. George, Leonard and Parsons are all capable of serving as small forwards and power forwards, while Klay Thompson and Jimmy Butler are capable of serving as both small forwards and power forwards. The shooting guard position.

Among these swingmen, there is no player who can directly reach the center position like Jamison, but Yi Jianlian can just do it.

Although it is difficult for Yi Jianlian to compete with NBA players in terms of physical confrontation ability, centers with small ball tactics often do not compete with opponents in the interior. Positions such as bottom corners pull space.

Of course, the premise is that Yi Jianlian must develop enough three-point shooting skills to pose a threat on the field, otherwise there is no such thing as the premise of pulling space.

Whether Yi Jianlian can shoot a steady three-pointer in a row, Wang Xiao has no idea, but in the training camp, Wang Xiao finally found another seedling who looked pretty good after Cheng Jie.

Wang Meng, this is a popular and common name, and it happens to have the same surname as Wang Xiao.

With a height of 1.93 meters and a weight of 90 kilograms, Wang Meng looks fair and clean, and even looks a little handsome.

Unlike Cheng Jie, who is a bit withdrawn, Wang Meng is a self-acquaintance, with a very cheerful personality, and can get along well with most people. Moreover, Wang Meng is far ahead of Cheng Jie in basketball skills, and he is also among the best among the 100 trainees By.

But when it comes to physical fitness, Cheng Jie can beat Wang Meng by dozens of blocks.

Because of his physical fitness, although Wang Meng's skills are very good, he can only be ranked at the bottom in terms of ratings, which is similar to Cheng Jie.

If there is any similarity between the two, it may be the heart that refuses to admit defeat.

Although his physical fitness is a bit poor, Wang Meng is very serious in training, and even his defense, which he is not good at, is quite desperate.

As time entered November, Wang Xiao's basketball training camp had been held for nearly three months without knowing it.

During these three months, every half month the training camp will count a group of trainees with the lowest scores to leave early, but Cheng Jie and Wang Meng have always been hanging at the back, precarious, looking like they will be out at any time, but they have been Neither was out.

But that's where they ended up.

With the further escalation of the training difficulty, the two inevitably fell to the bottom few, and then were eliminated during the scoring.

This is normal. If they can counterattack all the way to become the final winner, then in the future in the CBA arena, Wang Xiao must have heard of their names. If not, it means that the two of them are either limited to talent, or Due to other reasons such as injuries, he was unable to go too far on the road of basketball in the end.

But no matter what the reason is, it doesn't matter to Wang Xiao.

After they were officially announced to be eliminated from the competition, both of them seemed very depressed, but when they were about to leave here, they received a private phone invitation from Wang Xiao.

Both of them seemed very surprised, and when they saw each other on the way to Wang Xiao's room, they both seemed even more surprised.

"What are you doing here?"

It was Cheng Jie who spoke first. He looked at Wang Meng with an unfriendly tone.

With the deepening of training and the elimination of trainees one after another, the two people who did not belong to the same training ground still met together. The enthusiastic Wang Meng took the initiative to communicate with Cheng Jie. Most of the trainees have a hostile attitude, and Wang Meng's initiative has a feeling in his eyes that a weasel pays a chicken a New Year's greeting.

Although Wang Meng is enthusiastic and cheerful, it does not mean that he is a fool without a brain. When he found Cheng Jie's obvious hostility, although he didn't want to understand why, he didn't continue to put his face on his face. Of course, he didn't turn against each other because of it. The relationship between people also stops here, good or bad.

"Coach Wang Xiao invited me here and said he wanted to talk to me, how about you?" Wang Meng asked.

"What? You were also called by coach Wang Xiao?" Cheng Jie looked at Wang Meng in surprise.

"What do you mean I was called by head coach Wang Xiao, could it be that you are too?" Wang Meng also looked at Cheng Jie.

When the two received Wang Xiao's call, they were a little puzzled, and at the same time they had some small expectations in their hearts, because they knew very well that the trainees who had been eliminated before had left the training camp directly, and had never been alone with Wang Xiao at all.

But they are all players who have been eliminated, and there are many trainees who are better than them, so there should be no reason.

Wang Meng and Cheng Jie looked at each other, neither of them spoke, but walked towards Wang Xiao's room together by coincidence.

"Boom boom boom..."

"Please come in."

As the two knocked on the door, Wang Xiao's voice came from the room.

The two pushed the door open and entered, and were shocked by the luxurious decoration inside the house.

The housing that Li-Ning Sports arranged for Wang Xiao was the highest-standard one in the Li-Ning Center. The layout was no less than that of a five-star hotel's high-end suites, and it was very different from the residences of Wang Mengcheng Jie and other trainees.

In the spacious room, Wang Xiao sat on the luxurious leather sofa, looking at the two people who entered the room at the same time.

"Welcome, come in and sit down."
