If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 134
"Duncan hit the low post, and the Spurs didn't give up."

"Sure enough, Stone Buddha is the most stable at critical moments, and the Spurs should have played like this long ago."

"Duncan's scoring has surpassed Parker, becoming the highest score for the Spurs..."

"Yi Jian hit again, and he helped the Thunder stabilize the lead. While the Spurs were desperately chasing points, the Thunder always maintained a lead of more than 10 points."

"The Spurs don't shoot three-pointers anymore, they seem to accept their fate."

"The Spurs did not replace the main force, but the desperate atmosphere on the field is gone. They did not choose foul tactics, and the series should end in this game."

"The Thunder didn't continue to attack, and the Spurs didn't go up. The game was settled, and the young Thunder advanced 4-1 in the series."

After the game, Spurs coach Popovich talked about the defense against Yi Jian and Durant. He said: "If you relax your defense against them, will the situation be worse? The answer to this question is the basis for your consideration. We The defensive changes are on the other guys, and I made that choice instead of letting those guys get loose shots."

"We sometimes do a good job of limiting Yi Jian and Durant. We limit their influence, but at this time their role players are excellent."

"The reverse is also true, so the change in our defensive strategy hastened the destruction of the team"

Thunder coach Brooks was a little overwhelmed by happiness, his eyes had tears at one point.

The Thunder did it, and so did he.

He said: "Throughout the whole season, we have encountered many competitive opponents, and we also have panicked moments. But our players are very tenacious, they are not afraid of tigers when they are newborns, and they have a strong desire to win."

"We fought hard to get here!"

"I'm happy for the players. It's been a tough year, but the right things happen at the right time. The youngsters are growing fast and they are my pride."

Durant tried hard to hold back his pride, and deliberately said in a calm tone: "I didn't do anything special. In the playoffs, you have to play A-level games, and you must not have C-level performances. "

"Our journey is not over yet, we have to keep going."

Of course, Yi Jian also accepted the interview. He said with a smile: "At the beginning, everyone was not optimistic about us. We kept these in our hearts. The 82 games this season showed the growth and maturity of this team."

"We had some really bad moments, but it was an opportunity for us to grow and it was important."

"We are united and trying to make the game easy."

"The Spurs have suffered injuries in this series, obviously we are stronger, and I am not surprised to advance to the next round."

"I didn't think about anything more, I just wanted to help the team continue to win."

The Thunder ended the first round of the playoffs earlier, but there are teams faster than them.

Young people in the Thunder, sometimes pay attention to some games, and watch together when they have time, and discussions are even more common.

Yi Jian also likes to express his opinions. He wants everyone to learn from them, and also hopes that everyone can see the strengths and weaknesses of other teams in other series.

Think about how to deal with them and how to work hard to win.

The series between the Cavaliers and the Pistons was the only sweep in the first round.

Everyone accepts this result. After all, this is the team with the best regular season record against the team with the worst record. The best and worst regular season records are both in the East.

In fact, as long as the best record is in the East, this will happen, because the lower limit of the Eastern Conference playoffs is relatively low.

"The biggest weakness of the Pistons is their poor offensive power. Not only are they the worst offensive team in the playoffs, but they are also the worst in the entire league."

"They can only rely on defense. It's a pity that the Cavaliers' defense is better than them, so they don't have any chance."

"It is the stars who can make the game unexpected. Unfortunately, the Pistons don't even have stars."

"The series between the Bulls and the Celtics is somewhat similar to ours. The Celtics, who are more desperate, also lost a star, and compared to Ginobili in GDP, the Celtics lost Garnett. "

"So the Bulls actually had a chance, but it's a pity that their defense is too poor. The Celtics were forced to play the outside line that they are not good at. It's a pity that the Bulls didn't win."

"This is Rose's first year. Give him another year. The Celtics will definitely not be able to handle the same situation."

"Facing the Bulls is so difficult, the Celtics will be even more difficult in the next level."

"However, the teams in the Eastern Conference are almost meaningless to be honest. The weak links are too obvious. The same is true for the strongest Cavaliers. They rely too much on stars, but there is only one real star."

"Haha, our team is different, we have two real stars."

Everyone always listened to Yi Jian's speech with gusto, and he was about to become an authority in Thunderclap.

In everyone's discussions, sometimes there are different opinions, but the atmosphere is very harmonious.

"The injury problem is the biggest unstable factor in the playoffs."

"The Rockets also suffered injuries, but McGrady's strength has declined, and his injury has little impact on the Rockets' strength. If he can't recover his strength, his absence will actually help the team more."

"Both the Blazers and the Rockets are not strong enough to attack and defend better. The winner between them is just a matter of the experience of the role players."

"The Blazers' rookies helped the team a lot this season, but they still couldn't fully play in the playoffs, while the Rockets' sophomores showed their strength."

"So it's hard for the Blazers to seize opportunities, and they have fewer offensive points in the playoffs."

"We are different, we have a better run-in, we have more players who can stand up."

"The gap between the No. [-] and No. [-] series in the Western Conference is quite obvious."

"The Mavericks didn't do as well as us this season. They didn't make up for the weakness of the wing in the end. They couldn't limit Kobe at all."

"The reason why the Mavericks were not swept was due to Nowitzki's super performance, and it was more of the Lakers' carelessness. As the strongest team in the Western Conference, the Lakers sometimes subconsciously underestimate their opponents. This is their weakness."

"For the Mavericks, there is actually no obvious weak link, but they are a little bit worse in other aspects except Nowitzki. If they meet a suitable opponent, they have a chance to continue. Unfortunately, the opponent is the Lakers."

"What about us? What would happen if we didn't meet the injury-plagued Spurs in the first round?"

"Haha, the teams in the West, we have played against each other so many times in the regular season, what do you doubt?"

"We are stronger than the Mavericks. As for how strong we are, let's recall the confrontation in the regular season."
