Facing Kevin Garnett, very few rookies can muster the right attitude, and Yi Jianlian's performance caught the attention of the Atlanta Hawks' head coach.
With the team's tough attitude, the Atlanta Hawks even dragged the series to a seventh game, ultimately facing a regrettable defeat.
But for this team made up mostly of rookies, such a result was enough to end the season with their heads held high.
The domestic media asked Yi Jianlian to rate his rookie season.
Alian's resonant bass voice was very distinctive, "60 points, just passing. There are many areas to improve over the summer, and I hope to perform better next season!"
It was clear from his demeanor while answering the question that he was a pragmatic kid.
This characteristic also made him very diligent and focused on training.
