If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 111 Anthony Can't Help
Flanking Yi Jian still had some effect, because Thunder's outside three-pointer was not very good.

The team's best three-pointers are Yi Jian and Durant. It seems that they have everything on the offensive end, and the others are too soy sauce.

But even so, the main force of the Nuggets is Anthony, who is still alone.

Anthony really covered everything this time. After all, Yi Jian and the two didn't participate in the organization very much, but Anthony managed to score points in the organization.

In fact, Anthony is in very good form today, shooting and passing are very good.

It was only because the overall defense of the Nuggets was not good, and Yi Jian and Durant could score, that Anthony could not lead the team to the lead.

"Both of us are more determined and contact more." Yi Jian took the initiative to communicate with Durant.

In fact, the two of them can also play pick and roll, but there is no need.

It will be easier to pass the ball directly after attracting the defense in singles. Yi Jian also began to catch the ball more frequently outside the three-point line, making it more difficult for the Nuggets to defend.

After all, the Nuggets are not a good defensive team. If they pull a few times, they will have problems themselves.

At that time, Yi Jian and Durant can seize the opportunity to score, and it will still be Lopez inside.

It's not nonsense that the closer you are to the basket, the easier it is to score. Lowry may have a chance to hit the iron from the outside, but Lopez is still a little sure when he gets a chance in the penalty area.

"Steady the rhythm, don't give the opponent a chance to counterattack quickly." Yi Jian said to Lowry again.

Now that the Thunder are ahead, they must become the dominant player in the game.

And when the rotation came on the field, Yi Jian kept telling the outside players to defend well.

Moreover, Yi Jian and Durant didn't take much rest in the second half, basically playing less time than Anthony.

If the Thunder maintain enough offensive power, the Nuggets' bench advantage will be nothing.

JR is considered a strong substitute player, but compared to the All-Star players, he can only be regarded as a younger brother.

In many cases, the second half is the real strength of each team.

When the game is tense, the team will keep the main players on the court longer in the second half, which will be a bit of a playoff taste. At this time, some weaknesses are not weaknesses.

For example, in the playoffs, if the substitute is too poor, the main players will play on the field.

The regular season is definitely not good, after all, the consumption of players must be considered to play so many games.

If the team consumes too much and suffers injuries, it will not be worth the candle.

The playoffs are different. The best time is for the team to produce results and for the players to increase their value.

There will be a summer rest period next, plus there is no back-to-back, the players have the conditions to fight mentally and physically.

For competing teams like the Nuggets and the Thunder, the score gap is not that big, and they will definitely have to fight in the second half.

"The Nuggets don't have much to do now, and Anthony's consumption is not small. Continue to limit him and pay attention to their three-pointers. We can definitely win."

"Just treat it as a rehearsal before the playoffs. We can kill them like this in the playoffs." Yi Jian laughed.

"Other teams that may meet in the playoffs, we can all treat them as rehearsals in advance."

Yi Jian's words were a little casual, but many people in the team were excited.

No matter how you think about it, it's cool to win against a playoff contender.

Yi Jian thinks that in everyone's usual communication, the three views are more positive.

Players get together and they talk about women, they talk about women, but they all have the same attitude towards winning.

It's not that they don't care, and they don't feel that hard work is useless.

They love winning and are willing to fight for it.

"Come on! Kill them!"

Playing after the break, Yi Jian and his teammates fist-bumped with a murderous look on their faces.

Unlike others, Yi Jian pays more attention to teams that may become a threat to the Thunder in the playoffs.

His goals are clearer and more targeted.

For a team like the Nuggets that is hopeful to kill, he must figure out the opponent's routines.

At the beginning of the last quarter, Anthony was still making the ball for his teammates.

He did a good job in this aspect today, but there are still some problems in the situation. Yi Jian and Durant can always find opportunities,

Anthony's patience dwindled and he added some star style.

It's just that at this time, his singles efficiency is not that high.

As for the Nuggets' second point, JR is a typical sixth-man style of play, attacking when he has the ball.

Yi Jian still reminded his teammates to defend the three-pointer, because he had no way to directly interfere with it.

He has blocked shots twice this time, and the Nuggets will definitely think more about hitting the basket.

In order to deal with Yi Jian, the Nuggets let Anderson and Nene play at the same time, and Nene defended Yi Jian.

The effect cannot be said to be useless, two authentic insiders must be better, and Birdman Anderson also has the ability to assist in defense.

You are still not enough, Yi Jian's offense in the fourth quarter is flexible and changeable.

Or just launch an attack directly from outside the three-point line and break through Nei Nei.

Or just come to the low position to catch the ball and activate the skill.

Nene's reaction was still a bit slow, often unable to keep up with Yi Jian's footsteps.

At this time, it's up to Anderson. Now is indeed the moment when this buddy's body is at its peak.

It's a pity that Yi Jian's explosive power is too strong, like a truck rushing past.

Anderson was knocked open and dunked continuously.

Soon, he fouled three times, and with the previous three fouls, six fouls ended.

The Nuggets have no choice but to use Kleiza to defend.

However, Kleiza has already proved that he can't defend against Yi Jian, and Nene's help defense is not very good.

By this time, it is almost purely based on the personal abilities of the stars.

Anthony played with the ball, but he didn't expect to hit Durant twice without success.

Instead, Durant held the ball and made Anthony's foul.

It's not that Anthony is weaker now, it's just that the mentality of the two sides is different.

The Thunder took the lead, and Yi Jian was watching, putting pressure on Anthony.

In the last 3 minutes, Yi Jian hit and the Thunder led by 8 points.

The Nuggets requested a timeout and began to try three-pointers after returning to the court again.

However, both Anthony and Anthony Carter missed a three-pointer, and only JR made a forced one.

But at this time the game time was running out, Yi Jian made a mid-range shot in 17 seconds, which directly ended the suspense of the game.

114:123, the victory belongs to the Thunder.

Yi Jian had another double-double with 32 points and 12 rebounds, and Durant was also very good with 31 points and 8 rebounds.

Anthony had a rare double-double of 32 points and 11 assists, but it didn't bring the team a victory.

The Thunder started another winning streak in February.

Because of the All-Star Weekend this month, there will not be many games, and the team also hopes to seize the opportunity to continue to improve their record.

After the All-Star weekend, the Thunder probably will have to consider the playoffs more carefully.

As their record gets better and better, it is estimated that they will also be targeted by other strong teams.

It will not be so easy for the Thunder to keep their current record and player health.

But that's competitive sports, and that's what it takes to make a lot of money.

On February 2, the Thunder ushered in another challenge from the Trail Blazers at home.

This is also a playoff competitor that needs to try its depth.
