If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 112 The Fallen Emperor

The Blazers didn't work hard in the free market in the summer, but their record this season is much better than last season. Like the Thunder, they rely on young people to win the world.

Their internal and external core Roy and Aldridge continued to grow, and the rest relied on rookies, and a few rookies directly became the main players, including Batum sent by the Rockets and Fernandez sent by the Suns.

If you say that the Blazers are not good in the draft, they are good, and if they are good, they are always unlucky and miss big fish.

There is another point to watch in this game, that is, the man of the hour before last year's draft, the No. [-] pick Oden will finally meet the No. [-] Durant.

Oden took a season off due to injury.

Before the start of the season, many expected that the Blazers would usher in a super center, but the reality is cruel.

Oden has shown a certain defensive quality, but it is not amazing, and the offensive end is too ordinary, and the impact of injuries has not ended, which is disappointing.

However, Oden has not been completely denied, and no one thinks that he still has great potential.

Not enough, the first collision of the last high-ranking show was also a hot spot.

Although Yi Jian seems to be stronger than both of them now, and Yi Jian and Durant are already at the All-Star level.

Durant actually still has some ideas, and he performed in various ways after the game started.

Then he realized that he seemed to be thinking too much.

Oden's current state is really not very good, he is completely locked by Lopez.

It doesn't feel like a blue-collar insider, just a trick.

It may be that the Blazers didn't design tactics for him. The current Blazers are Roy and Aldridge's team, and Oden can only play as a support.

Moreover, Oden did not recover from the injury.

It is also related to the style of play. Yi Jian has seen this buddy's physical test, and he has nothing to say about his physical talent and athletic talent.

With such a powerful talent, Oden is naturally invincible in high school and college.

But when he couldn't rely on his physical fitness due to injury, his technical shortcomings were fully exposed.

In fact, with modern medical technology, Oden will not be ruined all at once because of injuries.

Yi Jian felt that it was likely that his professional team did not correctly assess his injury.

Then he was hit again on the field, with more injuries, and finally he could only leave sadly.

After all, the champion who didn't play in the first season, like Griffin's comeback, is still eye-catching.

Embiid in the back, after more than two years of rest, is still the emperor.

There are probably many reasons why Oden, a player who also has the title of Great Emperor, fell so completely.

In any case, Oden can't perform in this game anyway.

And he doesn't have the domineering spirit of a great emperor, and he doesn't seem to have the idea of ​​competing with Durant and Yi Jian at all.

On the court, his performance was mediocre, and he didn't even dare to make a shot, let alone ask for the ball.

The 76ers didn't seem to take care of him, nor did they let him play for long, and soon chose to play a small lineup and attack the Thunder.

Durant felt like he had punched the cotton with a punch, and he was very upset.

Yi Jian sighed: "Injuries are really the biggest enemy of athletes... But to reach the highest peak, we must overcome even injuries. Perhaps, he was too smooth before."

"Let's beat this team for good."

"Of course, I won't give them any chance!" Durant gritted his teeth.

The bench lineup is actually better for the Blazers, and their sixth-man striker Outlaw is in good condition.

However, Yi Jian and Durant continued to crush them after playing.

The Blazers also have an All-Star, and Roy was selected last season.

In the fiercely competitive West, this is undoubtedly an affirmation of the player's strength.

However, in front of Yi Jian and Durant, Roy looked mediocre.

Durant scored 22 points in the first half, and Yi Jian scored 21 points and 10 rebounds. It seems that they are the statistics of the whole game. The two of them are dimension reduction blows.

The Thunder's lead naturally came to double digits.

In this game, there was no suspense after the first half.

In fact, the gap between the two teams is not that big, it's just that the Blazers don't understand the mentality of the players enough.

Their head coach McMillan is not bad, but he has not been able to go further, and it is the same, he is still missing something.

In the second half, Roy broke out with a strong fighting spirit, but he still couldn't restore the team's disadvantage.

Durant, who played casually, only scored 31 points in the end, but Oden only had 4 points and 2 rebounds.

After winning the victory, Durant said, "For me, this is just an ordinary regular season. I just try to keep my passion and energy to play, and I always hope to do my best."

But he didn't belittle Oden, Durant said: "His NBA career didn't really start."

And Yi Jian, who scored 40+20 data, just smiled to hide his achievements and fame.

Now Aldridge is really easy to handle.

[Leading the team to win, the performance completely crushed the All-Star potential player Lamarcus Aldridge, and the reward was +2. 】

Two days later, Thunder abused the king again.

After the game, the media was surprised that Yi Jian only scored 29 points, and the outside world would think it was a little abnormal if he didn't score 30+ points.

This season, Yi Jian's personal performance is really too explosive.

Therefore, many fans feel that his All-Star vote is well-deserved.

The data exploded, and the style of play also exploded, giving people the feeling that there is no weakness.

The Lakers are the strongest in the West, and their wins are much higher than the second in the West.

The team has both offense and defense, both inside and outside, and the main substitutes are relatively good.

The only problem may be the weakness of the first position. Fisher, a tool guard, can still play in the league for a long time, but he is old now.

A good tool guard, in addition to dribbling across the half court, needs to have a basket and defense. It feels like the 3D of the first position.

As for organization, tool man guards are not good at all.

Now Fisher has a problem with his defense, and the basket is not as stable, so it is considered a weak link.

Of course, the biggest problem for the Lakers now is not the No. [-] position, but injuries. Their center Bynum is injured and truce.

Therefore, the Thunder still have the opportunity to try the depth of the Lakers.

The current Thunder is no longer the kind of weak chicken who would kneel when encountering a top team last season.

But it is not a complete lineup, and it will still be less valuable as a reference for the playoffs.

Without Bynum, Yi Jian's opponent is not the familiar Gasol, but the left-handed magician Lamar Odom.

For Odom who doesn't like physical confrontation so much, Yi Jian won't be too troublesome to crush.

On the contrary, Gasol's defense is what needs attention, after all, the two sides are still familiar.

After the start of the game, the two teams had a tendency to confront each other, but they were not completely confrontational, and they both had defenses.

The main reason is that they can't defend against each other. The Thunder are too weak at the second position. It is completely unrealistic to restrict Kobe, and the defense against Gasol is not so neat.

It is impossible for the Lakers to restrict Yi Jian, and Walton is much worse in defending against Durant, but the Lakers have a stronger striker on the bench. The young Ariza can consume Adu in turn, but the lock It is impossible to die, and Ariza is still a little tender now.

As a result, the Thunder's Lakers game also had the feeling of a real strong team.
