From the day Yi Jianlian stepped foot in the Dallas Mavericks' locker room, the 7-footer had his own Chinese media contingent following him at every home game and some road games, too. That's right, a small crew consisting of a couple of reporters and a videographer, all quite polite, courteous and friendly, were there to get Yi's perspective, and that was mostly from his spot on the bench. 從易建聯踏入小牛休息室的那一天，就有中國媒體在每場主場比 賽與一些客場比賽後跟著他，沒錯，這個小組包括了幾個記者跟 攝影師，都蠻有禮貌的，謙虛並且友善。他們是為了採訪易建聯 而來，不過他大部分時間都在板凳上。 It can't be an easy job to do day after day. After all, after Yi signed with the Mavs on Jan. 6, he played in just 30 games and averaged 6.8 minutes in those games. You try coming up with questions after every game when a guy doesn't take off his sweat suit. 每天都要做採訪可不容易，畢竟在他與小牛在1月6號簽約之後， 他只出賽了30場，平均上場6.8分鐘，而你得想問題來問這位常 常連練習衣都沒脫掉的球員。 The problem with Yi is that he doesn't play the game to his size. He's a perimeter shooter who doesn't shoot all that great (37.8 percent this season, 40.4 percent for his career) and he doesn't get dirty much defensively or on the boards. There's just not going to be many minutes for a guy like that behind Dirk Nowitzki, or really with most teams. It's obviously one of the reasons why Yi has played for four teams in five seasons. 最大的問題就是他浪費了高大身材的優勢，他是個外線射手但 沒那麼準，本季命中率37.8%，生涯命中率是40.4%，而且他在 防守或搶籃板時不夠兇狠。作為Dirk Nowitzki的替補，或甚至 到其他隊去，他都不會有太多時間，這就是為什麼他在五個球 季中流浪了四隊。 And why he's probably headed for a fifth in six. 明年他可能會在第六個球季中前往第五隊。 And so we roll on with the Countdown at No. 13 ... YI JIANLIAN Pos: PF Ht/Wt: 7-0, 250 Experience: 5 years Age: 24 (Oct. 27, 1987) 2011-12 stats: 2.6 ppg (37.8 FG%), 1.6 rpg Contract status: Free agent 2011-12 salary: $771,706 2012-13 salary: TBD His story: The benchmark for Yi is the 2009-10 season when he averaged 12.0 points and 7.2 rebounds in 31.8 minutes a game for the New Jersey Nets. That was his last of two seasons with the Nets. He spent the next season with the Washington Wizards, averaging 5.6 points and 3.9 rebounds in 17.7 minutes over 63 games. The Wizards then said no thanks. A knee injury while playing in China over the summer kept Yi on the market into January when the Mavs signed him to a one-year deal. He might have helped himself if he could have played center on this team, but at this point in his career he is purely a perimeter player. 他職業生涯中最亮眼的球季就是在09-10年於籃網平均上場31.8 分鐘，攻下12.0分7.2籃板的成績，這是他待在籃網的兩年當中 的第二年。隔年他轉到巫師，在63場比賽中平均上場17.7分鐘， 攻下5.6分3.9籃板。巫師於是放棄了他，同時他又在暑假在中國 時傷了膝蓋，讓他直到一月才有球隊找他。小牛跟他簽下一年合 約，他如果能打中鋒會對球隊有所幫助，但現在他只是個外線射 手。 His outlook: The Mavs seem to like Yi's potential so there's always a chance he could be back. He'll come cheap, which is important in this summer of roster upheaval and superstar pursuit, and Yi also has another thing going for him -- he doesn't turn 25 until October. Dallas could view him as a developmental player because 7-footers just don't fall off trees. It's just difficult to get excited about the prospect of Yi having much impact on a re-tooled roster next season. 小牛似乎蠻喜歡他的潛力，所以他留隊的機會還是有的，但價碼 會很低，畢竟小牛的重點是放在今年FA的大魚。另外易建聯要到 十月才滿25歲，小牛可以把他當作七呎的潛力球員，但還是很難 讓人期待他會對明年小牛的重建陣容帶來什麼影響。 --
