After lunch, Zhang Yang took a plane to send Yi Jianlian off to Salt Lake City.
The Rockets' Summer League team was participating in the Salt Lake City Summer League. Since they had dropped out of the Chicago Bulls' Summer League team, it was naturally urgent to join the Rockets' Summer League team. Competing in games served as practice, and teaming up with "Little Black Bean," Yi could learn how to space the floor for shooting and cutting in for finishes.
This was something Zhang Yang had discussed and agreed upon with Tellem during a phone call over lunch. Yi Jianlian had no objections, knowing that playing in the Summer League and getting used to the NBA format was important for him. The subsequent training would largely be decided based on his experience in the Summer League.
