If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 152 Unbelievable Tactics
"Hit the three-pointer again, Yi Jian has hit the third three-pointer in the first quarter!"

"I don't know why, Yi Jian's style of play is completely different today, and the Lakers' defensive players feel confused."

"Thunder got the lead, the Lakers must be more focused on the defensive end."

The Thunder's opening operation, the Lakers really did not expect.

Yi Jian continued to shoot from outside the three-point line, not just singles or single screens, but also double screens.

It felt like Thunder was betting on Yi Jian's three points, but it worked.

The Lakers also suspected that Yi Jian was injured and unable to fight in the paint, but there was no evidence.

On the defensive end, his confrontation ability is not bad.

His help defense slowed down a bit, but the Lakers didn't notice it for a short time.

The Lakers' rubbish outside shooting percentage also gave the Thunder a chance. Relying on Yi Jian's performance on the outside, the Thunder successfully gained an advantage.

In fact, Yi Jian doesn't rely entirely on skills, his three-point ability itself is already good.

Coupled with the height of the shot, sometimes he dared to shoot against the defense.

Moreover, he is not just three-pointers on the perimeter.

There were two times when the Lakers' defensive players attacked him, Yi Jian easily dribbled the ball and took a step inside, making a steady two-pointer.

"Too accurate, Yi Jian is really amazing!"

"Yi Jian brought out the Lakers' defense, and Durant went down to get a chance...Bynum fouled."

"Yi Jian is also very difficult to defend from the outside. The Lakers replaced Odom."

The Lakers will always find out that something is wrong with Yi Jian, but the Thunder only need to catch the information gap.

After taking advantage, the Lakers have no more options.

Moreover, Yi Jian's random three-pointer from the outside is also difficult to guard against.

There is no flood of three-pointers in the league now, and almost no one plays like this. Naturally, there is no targeted defensive method. The Lakers' coaching staff can't think of any moves now.

But it does not prevent the famous coach Mayfair Jackson from making a judgment, "The Thunder are desperate, they will not succeed."

The Lakers players also believe that this is something the Thunder can't help.

While they try their best to defend well, they also try their best to play a reasonable offense.

Kobe took on the work of organizing again at this time, and he was even a little proud.

Even when a dangerous opponent like Yi Jian is no longer calm, he is still very calm.

However, Kobe soon became a little unable to calm down.

His teammates were wasting his passes all the time, and Kobe couldn't figure out why he was passing them. Wouldn't it be more likely if he shot directly?Then the Thunder wouldn't be able to take the lead, would they?
As a veteran player, Kobe must have a clear understanding of various tactics and the importance of the team.

But when the game is not going well, various thoughts will still fill the mind.

This is the pride of a superstar, he still believes in himself more in essence.

In this series, the other players of the Lakers have been a little bit hip, one game worse and then a little better.

They won Tianwangshan, but Odom felt good after a few games in that game.

If it weren't for Lei Ting's accident, the outcome would be hard to say.

"Don't let him just do that," Bryant yelled.

He even wanted to defend in person, it was just an outside shot, how difficult it would be to defend.

In fact, occasionally Kobe switched defenses.

Yi Jian made a shot one step closer to the three-point line, and Kobe paid for a foul.

He also understood that defending Yi Jian was really difficult, but he was still not convinced.

Relying on Yi Jian's "abnormal" style of play, Thunder took the lead smoothly.

The Lakers had a strong sense of crisis, and Kobe didn't even want to rest.

Because of Yi Jian's outside activities, the number of Lakers' outside fouls also rose rapidly, but the substitute players on both sides played well in this game.

On the offensive end, the Lakers first competed with the Thunder to shoot outside shots, but they couldn't make shots later, and then began to attack the inside.

In fact, in the second quarter, they discovered that there were some problems with Yi Jian's movement, and Kobe also began to make a bold breakthrough.

However, the Thunder, which had taken the lead, still took the lead.

Yi Jian now gives people the feeling that Nowitzki has a faster shot from outside the three-point line.

Especially the CIC, it's really interesting.

Yi Jian thought of the scene where King Nuotian threw himself to death the Lakers in the future, and he had the idea that he should have tried this long ago.

Of course, just think.

This is because the Lakers' defense is not prepared. If the Lakers have a targeted defense and shoot more shots from the outside, sometimes it is a gamble on luck.

Like now, sometimes it is not so easy for him to activate his skills on the outside, and he also gambles on luck.

But they are not gambling blindly, but only try if they have the strength.

Yi Jian's current three-pointer at the All-Star level, and the stability of the superstar level, is the key.

If he hadn't been injured and he could keep up defensively, he might have shot the league's top teams directly by relying on various three-pointers from the outside.

Basketball is a team sport, but there are only five people on the court, not as complicated as football. In some games, it is entirely possible for superstars to directly dominate the game.

Yi Jian shot more than 10 times from the three-point line in the first half. Everyone was shocked. Can basketball still play like this?
The point is that Yi Jian's style of play, which hardly goes inside, made him the highest scoring player of the two teams.

At the end of the first half, the Thunder had already led by double digits.

After the Lakers players returned to the locker room, they didn't know what to say.

"Seeing Yi Jian shooting a three-pointer, why do you feel it's so easy to make a three-pointer?"

"Yi Jian is the three-point champion!"

"So that's how it is... Fuck, there are so many three-point champions, who can shoot like him."

"Actually, there is a problem. Yi Jian fought like this today because of his injury. He may not be able to rush in and dunk like before."

"Yi Jian must have been injured. He played with the injury and abused the Lakers. How strong!"

"The Lakers are dirty when they play. If they can't win, they're useless. Bah!"

In fact, there are many Lakers fans in China, but because Yi Jian was injured in the fight, the fans of both sides can't argue.

After all, you still have to support your own people, and the Lakers fans have entered a dormant mode.

In the Thunder locker room, the players were very happy, and even the coaching staff was excited.

They didn't expect that Yi Jian's style of play could really be successful.

Three-pointers are considered an important weapon now, but it is still too surprising to become the main weapon.

Not to mention Yi Jian's ability to make all kinds of strong shots when he is interfered by the defense. Most players in the NBA don't have this ability. Many three-point contest champions only catch and shoot. Like Yi Jian, only star players play. Not just any star player.

But no one else has Yi Jian's hit rate, and this tactic cannot be copied for the time being.

Lei Ting was also not sure if they could fight like this next time. From his point of view, Yi Jian's hand was also overwhelming today, and there was a lot of luck involved.

But this time, they will firmly let Yi Jian take action.

On their home turf, the series can't just end like this.

"Let us work together to give Yi Jian the greatest help!"
