If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 110 Joint Launch
At the end of the game between the Thunder and the Heat, the Heat scored another three-pointer, but the defeat was irreversible.

After Yi Jian made two free throws, the Thunder narrowly beat the Heat by 4 points.

Thunder coach Brooks said with a confident smile after the game: "There are no complicated tactics. I believe in the players at the critical moment of the game. They have the strength to bring the team victory."

"We've grown so much this season, we've been at a different level."

Three days later, the Thunder played an away game against the Warriors with an uneven lineup.

Yi Jian showed his might and broke the scoring record again, scoring 51 points.

The next few opponents are weak chickens, and the Thunder beat the Clippers, Nets and Grizzlies.

At this time, the new All-Star starter has been confirmed. Durant surpassed Duncan at the last moment, and Yi Jian and Durant joined hands to become the Western All-Star starter.

At the same time, it is also the NBA that has Chinese players appearing in the NBA All-Star Game and even starting.

There is no doubt that Yao Ming is also an All-Star starter.

The other two positions are Paul and Kobe. The Western All-Star starting lineup can be described as very luxurious.

No other player in the Thunder has a chance to make the All-Star Game, so the starting position is also an indication of the number of people the Thunder can make the All-Star Game.

There is also a special surprise, that is, Yi Jian became the second NBA vote champion in China.

And maybe because of the huge popularity, Yi Jian set a new record for the all-star vote leader.

As the league's temporary scoring leader and double-double little prince, Yi Jian received more than 320 million votes.

After the news was announced, Yi Jian said in an interview, "Thank you for the support of the fans. I will tell them with my performance that it is a very correct choice for them to support me."

"I'm very happy to start with Kevin. This is the recognition of our strength by the fans, and they will not feel that we are not worthy of this position."

[Professional record, selected as an All-Star for the first time, rewards all attributes +1. 】

After becoming an All-Star starter, it will not affect the regular season.

This time, the Thunder only won ten consecutive victories.

They lost to Deron's outburst Jazz at the end of January.

Now the Jazz have encountered some difficulties, but after Millsap played better and better, they still stabilized.

[Performance in the game is better than Jazz potential All-Star player Paul Millsap, reward +1 for steals, +1 for layups, +1 for passing. 】

At the end of January, Yi Jian also spent Chinese New Year with his family.

He invited Durant together, and the relationship between the two is getting better and better.

And entering February, the team's second position suffered another injury.

The more people there are, the more problems there are, and Dragic also got the chance to start.

Dragic can't be said to be a bad starter. After all, the Thunder's second position has been unable to keep up, but it can't be said to be good either. His characteristics don't quite meet the Thunder's current requirements.

Therefore, the Thunder will make a deal no matter what.

In the first game in February, the Thunder played away against the Kings.

After the King sent Artest away in the summer, it can be said that his hips became more and more stretched.

The strongest member of their team is the quasi-All-Star Martin, and the rookies selected are not strong, and the road to reconstruction is estimated to be very long.

Facing such a weak opponent, the defense was extremely poor, Yi Jian naturally scored 40+, Durant also scored 30+, and the two teamed up to score 80 points, which continued to make many teams with poor offense envy.

With two top attacking strikers, the Thunder couldn't be happier.

On February 2, the Thunder ushered in another competitor at home.

The Nuggets are their favorite opponents. They can score without any scruples against strong teams, that is, the Nuggets. After all, the opponent is the worst defensive team among the strong teams in the East and West.

In this game, the pressure on the Thunder was not great, because Billups had a truce.

However, Anthony's starting style of play is a bit surprising.

Without Billups, he even worked part-time in the organization.

This kind of scene is rare. Anthony has always given priority to finishing and does not have the attributes of a point forward.

It can only be said that being close to Zhu Zhechi and staying with Billups, Melon's playing is also much more reasonable.

Anthony's scoring has actually decreased this season, but the team's record has improved. This also shows that basketball is a team sport, and the statistics of stars can't explain everything.

It's a pity that Anthony's style of play has been finalized after all, and even if he changes his style of play, it is difficult to truly become more comprehensive.

No matter what Anthony's style of play is, when the Thunder and the Nuggets meet together, the scene has not changed substantially from before.

The two teams came up against each other, very fierce.

I thought this game would be easier, but I didn't expect JR-Smith to go crazy during the rotation.

This sixth man type of player is basically a nerve knife. When he is strong, he can make the head coach have a heart attack, but when he is right, he can also make the opposing head coach have a heart attack.

The current JR is at its peak, and the attack power is a bit scary when it explodes.

It just so happens that there is no one in the second position in the Thunder at this time. The combo guards like Dragic have been pulled over, and there are no substitutes.

Yi Jian also repeatedly told Dragic, "Just keep an eye on his three-pointers, don't worry about the others."

The current JR's physical fitness is amazing, and his breakthrough is also very powerful. He is known as the collection of Jordan.

But if it wasn't for consecutive three-pointers, the Thunder's Nuggets couldn't kill anyone at all.

So when doing things, we must grasp the main contradiction. As long as we don't make a three-pointer, let him rush in. Yi Jianxie can defend Wade, so why are you afraid of JR-Smith?
With the guidance of the core of the team, Dragic defended better.

The Thunder still have plenty of people on the inside. Even if Yi Jian is not there, there will be someone to help defend. It's not like there is no one on the flank. Durant's footsteps to defend the outside are also a problem.

By the second quarter, things were much better.

Because the Nuggets are also in trouble, they don't have enough insiders.

The Nuggets are now plagued by injuries, and Martin also has a truce. In order to block Yi Jian, he can only help defend more at the fifth position, and then more fouls.

Especially Anderson, who came up for a while and fouled each other.

The Nuggets still have flexibility inside, but their weight is not very good.

Don't say that Yi Jian is in the fourth position, he can still be strong when he goes to the fifth position.

Yi Jian's current style of play is completely buggy. With the height and strength of the inside line and the offensive ability of the outside line, any player who defends him is misplaced.

Durant also has a bit of this taste, but Durant is an insider with a height and an outside style of play, and his strength is not that strong. He can still limit it if he thinks of a way. Yi Jian really has no solution.

Every time they meet the Thunder, the Nuggets feel uncomfortable.

Their head coach, George Karl, is also depressed, and he is a little bit uncomfortable, and the game should be as it should be.

But as a veteran coach, George Karl only played badly for a while.

During the intermission, the Nuggets' coaching staff still decided to flank Yi Jian in the second half.
