If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 132

"It's really rare. The Spurs only let Duncan and Parker rest for so little time. The old guy also worked hard."

"The Spurs have reduced the rotation, which is completely different from the previous game."

"Parker's hands are really overwhelming today, and he even hits consecutive three-pointers that he is not good at."

"Durant is still unstable, and the Spurs have caught up with the score again."

"It's still Yi Jianmeng, another half-time double-double."

Yi Jian threw the ball out of his hand, and Sefolosha on the weak side hit a three-pointer after receiving the ball.

This time the Spurs have really resorted to all means, and now they have begun to double-team Yi Jian.

Yi Jian also tried to find a way to pass the ball to open spots, but the Spurs' defensive rotation was good, and the Thunder's role players were still not so adaptable.

The main reason is that Durant was a little bit off on this point, so the Spurs could unscrupulously attack Yi Jian and not give him a chance to make a move.

Durant is not as accurate as the forced [-]% hit rate at his peak, but his bad habits are almost the same.

When the hand feels bad, he can often adjust it back.

But when the start feels good, it will be inexplicably sluggish at the end.

After the game, the average field goal percentage is always about the same.

The Spurs are very good at seizing opportunities. If there is a problem with the Thunder's offense, they will flourish.

The point is, today's Duncan and Parker are in good shape.

Especially Parker, Parker, who didn't even hit [-]% of his three-pointers, missed two three-pointers. This is shit luck.

With Yi Jian's insistence, the Thunder is very good at defending three-pointers.

But it's not like blocking three-pointers against everyone. Parker can't make three-pointers. He is obviously a breakthrough type. The strategy of defending him must be different, and something went wrong.

However, Parker's threat is still the breakthrough, and Yi Jian also communicated with Lowry to strengthen his confidence.

After Yi Jian came on the field in the second quarter, someone would attack him almost as soon as he entered the three-point line.

In order to get rid of this situation, he also tried many ways.

Directly take two-point shots, or find a way to catch the ball in an area where skills can be activated, and both outside and inside have been tried.

He also worked hard to grab offensive rebounds and directly attacked for the second time.

Anyway, in order to break the Spurs' defensive effect, Yi Jian was very active.

His fans on the sidelines also tried their best to cheer him on.

His loyal fans all over the world are still excited and nervous in front of the live broadcast.

"Yi Jian, come on!"

"Another foul on Yi Jian, the Spurs are so brutal."

"Beautiful, grab the ball if you can't pass it in, it's really tough!"

At the last moment of the first half, Yi Jian leaped up from the crowd to receive the ball. He was flanked almost instantly, but when he received the ball, he half-turned around, held the ball high in his hand, worried, and launched a direct attack. the hunter.

Two Spurs players surrounded him, but at this time they could only choose to foul him.

Yi Jian stood on the free throw line, adjusted his breathing, and made two more free throws.

When it was about to enter the halftime break, the Thunder finally relied on Yi Jian's free throw to overtake the score.

In the first half, both teams played well.

However, the Thunder played more team than the Spurs. This is not a joke. Maybe the Spurs defended too well, and the Thunder could only let other players launch some offenses.

But the Thunder is indeed more of a team as a whole, while the Spurs are star players in various singles.

"In the second half, will they still have enough physical strength?"

"Even if they have, we will exhaust their energy."

During the intermission, the Thunder youths were full of confidence again.

After the first few games, they already knew that they had more physical strength than those old Spurs players.

The Spurs relied purely on the personal ability of the stars in the first half, and they couldn't last until the end.

In many seasons, the Spurs have actually been more stable than their opponents.

This time, they have been playing the trick of three axes. It seems that they are also forced to do nothing.

The head coach of the Spurs was still dissatisfied with the team's performance in the first half. They had already played an advantage, but in the end they couldn't grasp it.

It stands to reason that young teams will not be able to seize opportunities so well, but the Thunder are obviously an exception.

Their sudden adjustment of tactics may also have a certain impact on the team, but this game will definitely go all the way to the dark.

After the start of the third quarter, the Spurs were still the star of the ball, and Duncan and Parker played very resolutely.

However, their shooting percentage dropped, especially Parker, who completely lost the super high shooting percentage in the first half.

There was a problem with the Spurs' main scoring method today, and the offensive end immediately stagnated.

On the Thunder side, Yi Jian and Durant are still scoring sharply, which is what they are good at.

In the duo mode of Duncan and Parker, other Spurs players can't help.

For the Spurs this season, the role players are really bad.

They can't help it either, many of the balls are played hard by Duncan, you must know that Duncan rarely plays like this now.

Lopez got off the court early for four fouls, but Duncan's physical exertion was getting bigger and bigger.

He made a lot of free throws this time, but unfortunately his free throw percentage is far inferior to Yi Jian and Durant.

So the Thunder didn't have any scruples about defending Duncan, they just tried their best to consume as much as possible.

When the Spurs were helpless, the Thunder had gradually widened the gap.

"Both Duncan and Parker played today, but the Spurs still can't win. The Thunder are better than the Spurs this season, but it took some time for the Thunder to adjust their lineup. Their real strength may be second only to the Lakers."

"The Spurs' defense can't solve the problems of Yi Jian and Durant at the same time. It's hard for them to win like this."

"The Spurs lost when they had a full lineup. Now that they are short of major generals, they really have nothing to do. If the Thunder win the match point, their series will probably not have any suspense."

"Yi Jian has experience in professional leagues and international competitions. He is not a young man without competition experience. He has the ability to lead the Thunder forward."

"The Thunder's young players are rapidly gaining experience in the playoffs, and it's getting harder and harder to beat them."

What to do if the game falls behind, but the Spurs, who are best at tactics, have no good solution.

They just try to stay on the court with Duncan and Parker and hope for a miracle.

Even the famous coach Popovich did not dare to continue pretending to let the two sit on the bench.

Of course the Thunder won't give the opponent a chance. The Spurs fight for stars, and the Thunder let Yi Jian and Durant play on top.

After the team's lead reached more than 5 points, Yi Jian put more energy on defense.

Anyway, the Spurs still pinched him, so they just let Durant play.

He restricted his opponents to grab rebounds by the way, and it was a little easier to carry.

By the way, Yi Jian has better rebounds than Duncan in these few games.

His rebounding strength is not top-notch, but his physical fitness and youth make it no problem to bully the Spurs inside.

As the Spurs became more and more difficult to score, they also understood that the game would be gone again.
