Yi's role in Guangdong Hongyuan

Allian can be said to be the core of Guangdong, Yi Jianlian is a subtle and combative player, with a high basketball IQ, receptive ability and good at team basketball; he knows how to adjust himself and seldom falls into more than a two-game slump; and he tends to respond to his opponents' challenges and injuries with furious glares and dunks.

Yi played more than 160 official games in a year and a half, the vast majority of them as a starter for 30 minutes or more. Although roughly a quarter of them or even more due to the weak inside of the opponent and exercise value is not high, but such a dense high-intensity schedule, such a large number of inside the competition test, the accumulated game experience, physical reserves, in the world of the same age group of players is almost unparalleled.

In addition to simple dunks, in-place jumpers and second-chance offense, Yi is also developing more offense in the new 06-07 season: turnaround jumpers, backward jumpers, hook shots and so on, while his under-the-basket footwork and skills in challenging the defense and cheating for fouls are also gradually increasing. In many games, he can indeed rely on agile footwork and good shooting touch, enough to make the opponents of the earth and ocean interior (often age, experience, weight far above him) a flounder, have been stormed. But when faced with tough, veteran defensive specialists, or a targeted pack defense, these new offensive tactics often end in turnovers. But it is clear that his diverse offensive talents are evolving at a rapid pace, and in the 05-06 CBA Finals, facing the toughest defense in the CBA league, the Bayi team, he showed an unprecedented variety of skillful and highly successful offense: frontal dribble breakthroughs to catch dunks; Duncan-style hooks and rubbers; varied footwork and Fake moves shake the opponent after the soft pick and roll ......

Bucks general manager Larry Harris has always emphasized that before the draft has been on the "Yi's team" warned, after the selection of Yi Jianlian, Harris hopes that he will be able to play for the Bucks in the next game of the dead, but Yi's agent Dan Fagan has been very reticent, and he has so far not responded to Harris' comments in public.

"I reminded Yi's team between very early on that it's not to scare them because the team will pick the best player. It was Yi himself who was not mentally prepared and that's why he was surprised." Harris said.

In contrast to the reluctance on Yi's side, the Bucks clearly have very long-term plans for him. Yi is expected to be paired in the starting lineup with Bogut, the former first-round pick, who will at least be able to come alongside third-year senior Villanueva and share playing time. "I think it's perfect for Yi to team up with Bogut." Bob Coker, the Bucks' director of personal affairs, said, "He's able to play defense, grab rebounds and run the fast break. He and Bogut complement each other well and are a great combination."

Yi will next travel with the Chinese national team to Dallas and Las Vegas, where Harris hopes to meet with him, though the exact schedule hasn't been set. The Chinese men's basketball team will first play the U.S. Under-19 youth team, and then the Mavericks Summer League team.

While the Bucks have picked up Yi, they're not afraid to play it safe, as the "Yi Team" could also let him stay in China for another year. Yi Jianlian's current contract still belongs to the Guangdong team, and owner Chen Haitao has the right to not release Yi Jianlian. If this happens, then it will be a heavy blow to the Bucks. But Harris appeared confident that Yi wants to play in the NBA and will eventually like Milwaukee.

Yi is considered the leader of China's new generation of players, and age is his biggest advantage. Yao Ming couldn't match Yi's performance at age 19, so many have fairly high expectations for him. "Yao Ming used to face a lot of difficulties when he first just entered the NBA, and he didn't speak English at that time." Bob Corker said, "Yi Jianlian had spent some time in the United States in the past, and he was exposed to a lot of things in advance and was able to adapt to the NBA very quickly."

Harris had a very strong reaction to the criticism that he never went to China to see Yi play, claiming that he had been sending scouts Howard and Castillo to to track Yi Jianlian. "We scouted Yi specifically at the Doha Asian Games last year, watching three of his games in five days, and such on-site evaluations are valuable." Howard said. "From my personal point of view, the Bucks were lucky to be able to draft him."
