雄鹿队痴心一片 “要定”阿联
Bucks request meeting with Chinese draft pick Yi
Chinese power forward,Yi Jianlian
The owner of the Milwaukee Bucks has written to first-round draft pick Yi Jianlian requesting a meeting with the Chinese power forward , according to a newspaper report.Yi, taken by Milwaukee with the sixth selection last Thursday despite indications he preferred playing in a city with a larger Asian population, has not met team officials since being picked.
"We're going to try to establish personal contact with him and his family," Bucks owner Herb Kohl told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Web site ().
"I wrote him a letter (on Friday). I requested a meeting with him and his family. Our BAsketball people, our general manager and coach, we're all in the process of reaching out to try to establish a constructive dialogue with him."
Rather than meet Bucks officials after the draft in New York, the 7-foot (2.13-metre) Yi traveled to Dallas where he joined the Chinese national team for an exhibition game on Sunday.
Bucks coach Larry Krystkowiak said he would do whatever he could to make Yi feel more comfortable in Milwaukee.
Yi Jianlian's agent is trying to pull together trade offers in hopes the Milwaukee Bucks will deal away the Chinese star.
"Our agent team had meetings to study this case immediately after the draft. We feel that the Bucks are not the best fit for Yi Jianlian," Yi's agent Zhao Gang said.
"Our team will make contact with other teams who have watched Yi's training and games to see if there is any possibility of a trade."
Yi could return to the Guangdong Tigers of the Chinese Basketball Association if he decides to shun Milwaukee although the Bucks would retain his NBA rights.
据一家报纸报道，密尔沃基雄鹿队的老板近日致信在第一轮选秀中被选中的中国大前锋易建联，请求与其会面。
上周四，易建联在第六顺位被雄鹿队选中，但至今还没有与球队的官员会面。此前，阿联表示更想在亚洲人口多的城市效力。
雄鹿队老板赫伯·科尔在接受《密尔沃基新闻卫报》网站的采访时说，"我们将试图与他和他的家庭建立私人联系。"
"我（周五）给他写了封信，表示想与他和他的家人会面。我们的队员、总经理和教练都在做着准备，想与他建立一个建设性的对话。"
身高2.13米易建联在纽约被雄鹿队选中后并没有与雄鹿队官员会面，而是前往达拉斯与中国国家队会合，准备参加周日的热身赛。
雄鹿队教练拉里·克里斯特科维亚克说，他会尽一切所能让阿联在雄鹿队过得开心。
目前，阿联的经纪人正忙着联系交易球队，希望能够促成雄鹿队与其它队的交易。
阿联的经纪人赵刚说："我们的经纪人团队在选秀结束后立刻开会研究了这个问题。我们觉得雄鹿队并不是最适合阿联的球队。"
"我们将与其它看过易建联训练和比赛的球队联系，看看能否进行交易。"
如果易建联决定不去密尔沃基，他将回到中国篮协广东宏远宝马仕队继续效力，但雄鹿队会保留他在NBA的权益。
