Beijing time on December 24, 2022, in the just-concluded CBA regular season, Guangdong defeated Beijing Enterprises 109-90. After this campaign, they extended their winning streak to 8 games and continued to rank third in the league. At the same time, they also stepped up their pace to catch up with Zhejiang and Liaoning.
Of course, as far as this game is concerned, it may not be much interesting. The current situation of the two sides is very different. Due to the "influenza" attack, many CBA teams suffered from manpower shortages, and Guangdong may be the one least affected. All their main players are available for this game. However, there is no doubt that everyone's eyes in this game will be focused on 's "big brother" Yi Jianlian .
Prior to this, the total number of rebounds in Yi Jianlian's CBA career has reached 5996, and he has long occupied the top 1 position in history (second is Battelle, with 4978 total rebounds). For Arab League , as long as he grabs 4 more rebounds in this game, he will complete another historical milestone. This will be a difficult goal for the CBA's junior pursuers.
Everyone was waiting for the moment when the UAE broke the record, but he first used offense to open up the situation for the team. Since Zou Yuchen failed to make the 12-man roster, Marbury used Yu Changdong as the starting center. Compared with him, Arab League has an absolute advantage in terms of height, jumping and foot movement speed. tml2's back pass hit a three-pointer. Regardless of whether he was standing in front of him was Yu Changdong, Wang Shaoji, or the 2.18-meter foreign aid Haas who was replaced by Marbury later, Yi Jianlian was unstoppable. He hit three consecutive three-pointers at one point, and scored 2+1 under the basket before the end of the first quarter, helping Guangdong take a 24-point lead 42-18. The 42 points also set a single-quarter scoring record for Guangdong this season.
html made 6 of 18 shots, including 4 of 5 three-pointers, 1 of 1 free throw, and scored 17 points. This was Yi Jianlian's score in the first quarter. At the same time, during this 8-minute appearance, he also grabbed 4 rebounds, successfully completing the "6000 rebounds" career feat! Pay tribute to Yi Jianlian. But that's not all he accomplished in this game.
In the third quarter of the game, after Yi Jianlian scored his 21st point of the game, he accumulated his total CBA regular season score to the 10,000th point, becoming the second local player after Zhu Fangyu to complete this record. Before this game, Yi Jianlian's CBA career total score was 12530 (regular season + playoffs ) , ranking second in history, second only to Lester Hudson (total 13076 points), but I believe that as long as the UAE continues to play, these records will belong to him sooner or later.
In the end, the game ended. The Guangdong team won Beijing Control with 19 points without a fight. Yi Jianlian played 17 minutes, shooting 9 of 13, 4 of 7 three-pointers, and 3 of 3 free throws. He efficiently scored 25 points, the highest of both teams, in addition to 9 rebounds. , and completed two consecutive career milestone breakthroughs, dreaming of returning to the top in one battle. This also made fans strongly call on the new men's basketball coach Djordjevic to seriously consider this veteran and take him to the World Cup!
After the Chinese men's basketball team lost to Wukesong in 2019 and missed the Tokyo Olympics, although Yi Jianlian did not officially announce his withdrawal from the national team, he did not play for the country again in the next three years. On the one hand, due to previous major injuries, the UAE has been in a state of recovery for a long time. On the other hand, it is also considering that he is getting older and it is time to give way to young people.
But the World Cup is coming again in a blink of an eye. He will decide whether the men's basketball team has a chance to go to Paris. The situation is urgent and there is no room for carelessness! To this end, the Chinese men's basketball team specially invited the legendary Serbian coach Djordjevic to replace Du Feng as the head coach. In previous games in Zhuji, we have seen Qiao Shuai inspecting the players many times.
In the competition for the 4th and 5th positions of the national team, Yi Jianlian has his unique advantage:
No. 1. Although his athletic ability is far inferior to before, in the past offseason, UAE improved his shooting posture and focused on training outside shooting. So far this season, the UAE's three-point shooting percentage is as high as 51.3%, and its free throw percentage is 85%. After suffering a serious injury, Yi Jianlian has completed the transformation from a "violent inside line" to a "spatial No. 4 position." Whether they played against the 19-year-old Yu Jiahao in the last game, or tonight against the 27-year-old foreign aid Haas, or the 35-year-old Alian, they can attract their defense. If you hesitate, you will get a three-pointer if you raise your hand here.
second. In the past, the system that Du Feng often played in the national team was "one big, four and three small guards" , but everyone knows that this is simply not feasible for the Chinese men's basketball team to achieve results on the world stage. At least two centers are needed to guarantee rebounding and basket defense.
Third, it is rich experience in international competitions. Among the remaining insiders in the country, whether they are Hu Jinqiu, Liu Zeyi, Shen Zijie, Wang Zhelin, or Fan Ziming, who can go through three games in front of Gasol, Nowitzki, and Jokic? The more you are on the big stage, the more you need a big heart. Yi Jianlian has experienced too much and has seen everything. And often when you need to complete a fatal blow, confidence is the most important link. Yi Jianlian, he still has gas!
