The UAE responded to the retirement: nostalgic for myself who can run and jump and lamented that there are not many opportunities for old age

In an interview with Yang Yi, Yi Jianlian responded to the topic of retirement, and his words made people feel that the countdown to the UAE's farewell stadium may also have begun.

In the interview, the UAE said, "I miss the feeling that I could run and jump at that time, and that feeling of being able to run at full strength on the field. Talking about the moment he felt old, the UAE said, "The season when I injured my Achilles tendon. The UAE also said that he envied that the current young generation can run and jump, and he used to be the same, lamenting that he is old, "I can't jump as much as before, I run so fast, before you get injured, you say that no one is afraid of running and jumping." The UAE finally said, "There is no chance [to compete] now, (laughs) there are not many opportunities left for me." ”

Obviously, this interview is a side response to the topic of retirement, although he did not say that he will retire this summer, but the words make people understand that the countdown to retirement has also begun.

As the first person in the Chinese men's basketball team, Yao Ming and the player who carried the banner after Dazhi, the 36-year-old Yi Jianlian is really no longer young. Last season, Guangdong stopped in the quarterfinals, and the UAE averaged only 10.8 points and 6.5 rebounds per game, which is the worst league performance in the UAE in nearly 20 years.

The serious injury of the ruptured Achilles tendon has indeed become the biggest blow of his career in the UAE, and although he recovered and returned to the stadium, he failed to defeat the old man of time, and now the UAE has faded out of the national team, if the news of the UAE retirement this summer, I am afraid it is not surprising.
