If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 113 Finding out about the Lakers
"This ball is handsome! Kobe's singles efficiency is getting higher and higher."

"Kobe's current singles efficiency is a little higher than Durant's, but haven't you seen Yi Jian's singles efficiency? If you have bad eyes, don't watch the game."

"Kobe's elegance is the real basketball!"

"Yi Jian's violent aesthetics is the romance of men's competitive sports!"

"Yi Jian also hit a three-pointer, mighty!"

"If Yi Jian has a lineup as good as the Lakers, the Thunder will be No. [-] in the Western Conference."

"Kobe is a superstar, but Yi Jian is still a little tender."

"Hehe, Kobe is old, and now Yi Jian is the strongest in the league."

"Look at the scoring list. Yi Jian is already unstoppable. This is his second season."

Kobe and the Lakers have a lot of fans, and only in this way can they and Yi Jian's fans quarrel.

However, Kobe's fans are slightly stronger than the fans of other stars. Compared with the countless iron fans that Yi Jian, who is now in full swing, his combat effectiveness is still a little bit worse.

Fans must be a little irrational, but mutual spraying can actually increase the heat.

Whether it is the alliance management or the domestic operators, they are actually happy to see the results.

If the fans don't make noise, the media and some interested parties will provoke them in various ways, or send out vests to do it in person. Yi Jian has seen too much in his previous life.

After all, you can only make money if you are popular, which is the truth in the information age.

It's easy for Yi Jian to beat Odom. In fact, Odom's defense isn't too bad. It's average.

Instead, Durant encountered trouble in the second quarter, mainly because he had to readjust after meeting Trevor Ariza.

It is also because the Lakers' bench lineup is more powerful. The Thunder, who were leading when the main lineup fought each other, became the lagging side in the second quarter.

Yi Jian and Durant's playing time also continued, but as long as one of them goes down, they will not be able to withstand a strong team like the Lakers.

"Actually, what we have to do is to limit Kobe as much as possible." Yi Jian muttered.

"There is nothing to say, just pinch directly."

To limit Kobe, the Lakers must also take care of other points, especially Gasol.

Lopez has actually worked very hard, but Gasol has much more experience.

Yi Jian encouraged him to continue to fight the opponent physically. When Gasol's physical strength declined and the middle distance was not so accurate, the situation would be much better.

Lopez is relatively at ease in this regard, he is really willing to find ways to improve himself.

At the beginning, Yi Jian thought that Lopez didn't fit well with their style, but now it seems that Lopez's career can offset this problem.

Whatever the team needs him to do, he will do his best.

Maybe it's not the best solution for him to partner with Yi Jian inside, but it's already a burden that other teams can't bear.

At the last moment of the first half, the Thunder did not finish the work well, so there is no way.

The momentum of the team will not be so easy to regain after a break.

This time, the break was finally in their favour.

After entering the locker room, Yi Jian actively participated in the tactical discussion again.

The outside line flanked Kobe, and then Yi Jian and Lopez got the Lakers inside.

Without the three highs, there are only two Lakers insiders left, and it is not that difficult to deal with.

The key is Kobe. Even if the Lakers have other All-Stars, the core players will not change.

Moreover, Kobe may not pass the ball when he is flanked, so it is definitely worthwhile to flank him.

There are definitely risks, but the team's tactical adjustment in the second half is to grasp the main contradiction.

Kobe felt very good in the first half, and it would be over if he didn't limit the Thunder.

And Kobe is not Wade. When he feels good, he will face all kinds of outside shots against the defense, and it is too late for Yi Jian to help defend.

The Thunder's coaching staff thinks the same way. It's not a difficult decision to flank Kobe. Many teams will do this.

After the start of the third quarter, the Thunder quickly entered the state, and the effect of flanking Kobe was very good.

The other players of the Lakers did not give Kobe much help.

Kobe's teammates missed the few passes he had.

As a result, Kobe started to go up, and several forced shots were all black iron.

As the second strongest point of the Lakers, Gasol did not have Kobe's support, and his performance was very average.

Gasol is regarded as the core of tactics for the Lakers, and he was not a strong end point back then.

The second half didn't feel so good, and he didn't play so resolutely.

Instead, Lopez is playing better and better, causing the Lakers to have problems on the offensive end.

At this time, the Thunder broke out, because Durant felt it.

Wharton really prevented Durant, but he is still the Lakers' starter.

The main reason is that the Lakers' triangle tactics are relatively complicated. Ariza is obviously very useful, but they feel that there is something wrong with the tactics.

As a result, he waited until the second half of the season to admit it, which helped Ariza a lot.

Wharton couldn't do it at all, Fisher was locked up by Lowry again, and the Lakers' lead disappeared quickly.

The situation will get better when Farmar and other substitutes are replaced, because Farmar, Vujacic and others have better shooting touches today, which can help Kobe better open up space.

Unlike the Lakers starting a few players, today's outside shooting rate is not good, so there is no way to play.

During the rotation period, the Lakers performed better again. In fact, it is not a problem of player ability, but their style of play is more mature, which can help players perform stably.

The Thunder is still too dependent on the performance of the stars.

And their solution to the problem is also very simple, that is to increase the playing time of Yi Jian and Durant in the second half.

If there is hope to win the game, it is necessary for the two of them to work hard.

The two are young and strong now, and they are not afraid to fight a few more games.

A strong rival in the west, it won't hurt to know more about it.

The Lakers' defense is not bad, but it is definitely not a strong defensive team.

Their head coach Zen Master Jackson also doesn't like to double-team easily, so the Lakers didn't fight an eye for an eye.

Of course, if you double-team Yi Jian or Durant, the risk is relatively high, and the Thunder star's ability is no joke.

This led to the beginning of the last quarter, and after Yi Jian and Durant both played, they immediately scored consecutively.

After Yi Jian and Durant played 2+1 respectively, the Thunder quickly tied the score.

The Lakers sensed trouble, but they didn't adjust.

It may be due to the arrogance of strong teams, or Phil Jackson's on-the-spot command is not that strong.

Halfway through the final quarter, the two teams also came to the real decisive moment.

Except for Ariza at the third position, the Lakers have all returned to the main force.

The Thunder have all switched to starters. Their starters are the team's strongest, and they don't have that kind of outstanding sixth man.

"Kobe, and three-pointers, these are the only possible threats for the Lakers now." Yi Jian said firmly.

Odom, who was facing Yi Jian, also became serious at this time, and began to defend desperately.

Yi Jian catches the ball, turns around, starts...

Beep, the referee's whistle sounded.
