If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 127
The Nuggets did not replace Nene, but went to Anderson on the inside again. They played the twin towers.

The key is that the insiders really can't stand it, and both Yi Jian and Lopez are difficult to deal with.

At 4 minutes and 28 seconds, Anthony scored 2+1. Anthony was very aggressive this time.

But then, Durant did the damage.

Turning back, Yi Jian assisted Nei Nei in defending the big hat.

For a while, the Nuggets, who wanted to rely on success to finish the game, fell into a scoring drought, and Billups even made a mistake.

For the Nuggets, Yi Jian hit two points, and then Durant made another kill.

It may be that Durant has communicated with Yi Jian more, and Durant's big swing is a bit like a big success in advance.

Especially in misplaced singles, he will often induce fouls from defensive players.

In the 2th second of February, Yi Jian grabbed an offensive rebound and succeeded in the second attack, and the Thunder took the lead.

The Nuggets seemed to wake up at this time, and Anthony hit two points, ending a scoring drought of almost 2 minutes.

The atmosphere of the game became very tense, and Nuggets fans couldn't help worrying.

Their concern was justified, because the next Nuggets defense problems again, Durant stood at the free throw line.

Durant's free throws were also very stable, making two free throws again.

The Thunder became the leading side again, and the Nuggets didn't have any bells and whistles at this time, just letting Anthony play singles, and Anthony also showed a strong scoring ability at critical moments.

He hit again and the score alternated again.

The Thunder did not consider flanking Anthony in this game, and it did not change at the last moment.

Yi Jian thinks it can be considered, but it is best to flank the inside and not give the Nuggets outside opportunities.

It doesn't matter if you don't need it for this game, the regular season is a time of trial and error.

Their previous attrition tactics are executed well. If Anthony can be solved by single defense, it will be easier for them to meet in the playoffs.

Of course, I can only think about it now.

The Thunder are not afraid of the Nuggets, but they cannot completely limit the Nuggets' offense every time.

If the playoffs really happen, it will actually be a bit dangerous.

Yi Jian had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but his technical movements on the court were meticulous.

He caught the ball outside, feinted a shot and killed it inside.

The Nuggets' defense blocked, Yi Jian split the ball, and then quickly turned his back to ask for the ball.

It feels good to be the core, and the outside line immediately passed the ball back.

Yi Jian turned around smoothly and started straight away.

It was too late for the Nuggets to help defend, Nene saw Yi Jian rushing over forcefully, and paid for the last foul with pain on his face.

At critical moments, it tests the players' hearts.

Obviously, Yi Jian has a big heart.

After he made two free throws, the pressure came to the Nuggets again.

At this time, there was only the last half minute left.

The Nuggets requested a timeout, and after the game restarted, Billups shot a cold shot from the three-point line.

Yi Jian's heart tightened for a moment. Although Lowry was very focused, Billups' move was proficient and was not affected by the Thunder's defense.

when!
A crisp sound sounded, and Billups missed the ball.

Durant and the Nuggets' inside line squeezed together, and Durant took the opportunity to get the rebound.

But time was running out, and the Nuggets immediately pressed.

Durant dribbled the ball forward directly. His height looked a little scary when dribbling the ball. He felt that he might make a mistake at any time, but he still nimbly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.

The Nuggets couldn't do it at first glance, and directly made a tactical foul.

Durant's free throws are still very stable. At this time, the Nuggets must choose whether to make a three-pointer or a quick two-pointer.

They brought in Kleiza, and then chose the outside three-pointer.

Neither Billups nor Anthony found a chance to make a shot. It was JR who threw the ball.

It's a pity that he didn't make a hit, Yi Jian received the rebound, and then he was sent to the free throw line.

In the final moments of the game, if the score is close, it is often the case.

The game is constantly interrupted, and then goes to the free throw line. If you don't have the ability to bear it, your opponent may find an opportunity.

Yi Jian made two free throws and didn't give the opponent any chance.

After Anthony's three-point attempt also failed, the Thunder won the game.

With back-to-back consecutive wins against competitors in the Western Conference playoffs, the Thunder's momentum is getting stronger and stronger.

Although the outside world believes that many members of their team are playing in the playoffs for the first time, they are not optimistic about their normal performance.

But they don't care at all. Talking about it often doesn't make much sense, and it will just look at the game directly.

Yi Jian also said after the game: "Our fans are very supportive of us."

Meaning, those people who make random comparisons don't care at all.

Two days later, against the Bobcats, Durant truce, the Thunder easily won.

In the back-to-back games against the Bucks, Yi Jian had a truce, but the team lost.

Durant did not perform well after taking a break, losing to Jefferson, which shows that his state is still not as stable as Yi Jian.

On April 4th, against the Trail Blazers, the Thunder's main players had a truce, and the team lost to the opponent.

Some clues can already be seen now. It is difficult for the Thunder to meet the Trail Blazers in the first round. In order to let the players recover from fatigue, the Thunder made the decision to take turns.

The formulation of these strategies also had Yi Jian's participation.

The main reason is that the Thunder's schedule for the few games before the start of the playoffs is relatively tight, so they can only give up.

In the last game of the regular season, the team played away against the Clippers.

This time they resumed their normal lineup, this is the warm-up before the playoffs.

The intensity of the game was also quite appropriate, and the Thunder took out the Clippers with little effort.

Yi Jian also received the reward for the last season mission. After the regular season ended, so did the season mission.

[Leading the team to win, Marcus Camby, a quasi-All-Star player, will be rewarded with +2 for blocks, +1 for steals, and +1 for passing. 】

[Professional record, enter the playoffs for the first time, reward all attributes +1. 】

In this way, Yi Jian's attributes are already very strong.

[Basketball data (full value 100), strength: 91, speed: 86, bounce: 86, three-pointer: 84, mid-range shot: 93, layup: 77, dunk: 85, post-up: 82, confrontation: 91, defense : 88, Ball Handling: 79, Passing: 72, Steals: 69, Rebounds: 85, Blocks: 83, Stability: 93. 】

The Thunder's final ranking is sixth in the West. In fact, the gap between them and the second place in the West is only two wins. If they don't take turns in the final stage, they may be able to become the top four in the West.

But it's not bad now, because their opponent is the Spurs with obvious weak links.

The Spurs were not ranked in the top four in the Western Conference most of the time in the final stage. Unexpectedly, after losing to the Thunder a few times, they rose up in a wave of winning streaks, and finally almost knocked the Hornets out of the playoffs.

However, home field advantage is not a life-saving panacea.

The Jazz were not so lucky. They met the Lakers in the end. The Lakers were a little bit of water and they had never played. The Mavericks, who were ninth in the Western Conference, killed the Rockets and successfully reversed to the eighth in the Western Conference. The Jazz disappeared immediately.

The Rockets that lost in the end became fifth in the West, and the two sides that also lost kept the seventh position in the West because of the outcome.

The top two in the West are the Lakers and Nuggets.

Relatively speaking, because there is not much suspense in the top eight, the Bulls in the East just lost and fell to seventh, and the 76ers won the last game against the Cavaliers and became sixth.

The 76ers thought they made a profit, but they didn't.

The other locations in the east have already been decided long ago.

The top three Cavaliers, Celtics and Magic, followed by the Eagles and Heat in the second gear, and the Pistons, whose winning percentage is not even 50%, also occupy a place.

The flames of the playoffs were ignited.
