If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 138 Situation Reversal
When Martin went up to cover, Yi Jian decided to focus on Billups.

There are only a few Nuggets who dare to shoot at critical moments, and the inside players basically have no threat when they go to the outside.

There was not much time, and Billups really looked for an opportunity to make a move.

Yi Jian ignored Martin and quickly went up to interfere.

Two defensive players rushed over, and Billups missed the three-pointer.

The competition inside the penalty area was fierce, and none of the players in the fifth position jumped up. The ball was pointed out by Durant.

Yi Jian ran back, received the ball directly, and then started to counterattack.

The Thunder's two stars have the ability to push and counterattack, and their versatility can make it difficult for any opponent.

So even if Lei Ting's rhythm is not that good, he can still punch the old master to death.

Yi Jian quickly advanced across the half, and the Nuggets' defensive players also desperately returned to defense.

They had already figured it out, Yi Jian would attack when he entered the three-point line, and they would definitely not let him really rush.

The Nuggets are also very concerned about Yi Jian's three-pointer defensively.

No matter where the scoring champion is, he cannot be easily shot.

But that was when the defensive position was set, and now the Nuggets are not standing well in the defense.

The player who retreated the fastest was standing on the three-point line, ready to delay Yi Jian.

However, Yi Jian suddenly made a defensive move, took a big step sideways, and directly shot from outside the three-point line.

"Yi Jian, don't be in a hurry... Yi Jian made a three-pointer, a good shot!"

"Yi Gao is bold, Yi Jian directly hits a three-pointer, and the Thunder's bench is jubilant."

Yi Jian's three-pointer can be said to have chilled everyone in the Nuggets. There is still one minute left, and the difference of 1 points is nothing.

Come back, after two pulls, Anthony still got a foul.

Yi Jian frowned, he was considering the necessity of switching to Anthony.

There is no problem with his current movement and switching to the third position.

Thunder's offense, he went directly to the three-point line and played with the ball.

This made the Nuggets' defense a little uncomfortable. Yi Jian had never played like this before, but the three-pointer just now proved that Yi Jian has this ability.

If the defense hesitates, there will be problems. Yi Jian pretends to break through to attract the defense, and then cooperates with Durant.

Durant went down and made a layup that caused Nene's foul.

At the critical moment, Durant's free throws did not go wrong, and the pressure was coming to the Nuggets.

Also, their time is running out.

They wanted to be quick, so Anthony pulled the ball without any extra movement.

In this way, the Thunder did not have time to pinch, but unfortunately the ball missed.

Yi Jian protected the rebound, and then the Thunder began to waste time.

When the time was almost up, Yi Jian stepped up to cover, and then caught the ball from the outside and made a strong move.

The ball missed, but the Thunder still led by four and the Nuggets were running out of time.

Anthony was a little anxious and directly shot a three-pointer, but unfortunately he missed.

Yi Jian protected the rebound again, and the Nuggets could only use foul tactics.

His free throw didn't give the Nuggets hope at all, and the Nuggets attacked next. Billups fouled Lowry, but it was harmless.

Then the game ended, and the Thunder won the second game of the series 119:115.

In this game, the two teams were full of fouls. Yi Jian was treated badly many times. The game was very difficult, but he didn't care.

"That's part of the playoffs, everybody doesn't want to hurt their opponents, but basketball is a very confrontational sport, and fouls are a normal thing."

The team won the game, Thunder coach Brooks is also excited.

He praised Yi Jian's performance and said: "I can't wait to let him play for 48 minutes. He is the best player on the planet, and his role on the court is unparalleled."

Yi Jian's stats of 35+13 are indeed the best in the game.

Nuggets coach George Karl also admired Yi Jian's performance very much. He said: "He has always been so good. Our biggest problem is defense. As for the problem of offense, we can completely solve it. We must find more problems besides Anthony. Score."

Now the series score is still 1:1, everyone can be personable on the surface.

But being robbed of a home court advantage, the Nuggets must find a way to change.

The Thunder's home court cannot be regarded as the Devil's home court, but playing at home is much more comfortable.

Whether it is training or rest, various arrangements can be made leisurely.

People's spirits are also better, and Yi Jian feels that his fatigue has been swept away.

Of course, many people will have this illusion before the game.

After another fierce confrontation on the court, the body will tell that the accumulated fatigue is hidden deep.

"In the playoffs, just focus on the main conflict. No matter how the Nuggets change, just focus on Anthony and Billups." Yi Jian said firmly.

He spoke like an old driver. Those who didn't know thought he played many playoff games.

However, other teammates still believe in him, which may be the leadership ability.

In fact, sometimes it is not that difficult to become a leader, as long as you can lead the team to win.

As for character, as long as it's not too exaggerated, it's totally fine.

The Thunder's home court, the fans' cheers are crazy, it's not like the first year they came here.

In other words, they conquered the fans in just one season.

The starters of both sides have not changed, so the opening has not changed.

Just as the Spurs easily took the lead in the first round, the Thunder took the lead in every game between the Thunder and the Nuggets.

A team that doesn't defend well can't stand up to the Thunder's offense.

The Thunder's current problem is also offensive continuity. When the sixth man on the Nuggets makes a second effort, they can withstand it and keep up with the strength of the opponent.

In fact, the Nuggets' effort was a bit of an increase in the defensive end in the second half. Their offense was already strong, and then they strengthened again in the middle. If the opponent didn't react, the Nuggets could take the opportunity to seize the initiative.

After two games, the Thunder are actually quite familiar with it.

The first game was a bit slow to respond. The playoffs were still different from the regular season, but the two teams played against each other for many consecutive games in the playoffs, and it was impossible to win to the end with cleverness.

So, in Thunder territory, are the Nuggets ready?

Yi Jian stretched out his hand for the ball, then turned around expertly, bursting up violently, Martin and Nene could only watch him smash the ball into the basket.

The home fans were instantly excited, which was a treatment that was not available in the away game.

The Nuggets' players were instantly covered by sound waves, feeling suffocated, and the pressure quickly increased.

The Nuggets actually emphasized defense this time, but unfortunately they sharpened their swords before the battle, and they still didn't match up on the court.

No matter how cautious their defense is, Yi Jian doesn't care.

"MVP! MVP!"

The cheers of the fans resounded throughout the audience, and Martin finally couldn't bear to start again, and then he quickly fouled twice and went to rest.

It didn't take long for Anderson to come up.

This is the Thunder's home court, but the Nuggets can't take advantage of the ball whether they want to blow it or not.
