If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 159 Seeing Yi Jian's Performance Again

"Huh! I finally saw Yi Jian's dunk again! The season is about to start again, come on Thunderclap!"

"Just like Yi Jian's interview, he really improves every year and learns new skills every year. His passing is really much stronger, and he can definitely drive the team better."

"Yi Jian actually doesn't need to pass so many balls, he just kills all directions!"

"I have a hunch that the Thunder's rookies will be better than the Grizzlies' top picks."

"Don't have a hunch, just look at it, they just perform better."

"The Thunder's inside line feels like a no-fly zone. Not only Yi Jian and Lopez, but Jordan and Ibaka also seem to be the type to block shots desperately. How many shots have the Grizzlies been blocked today?"

"Thunder seems to be stronger than expected, looking forward to it."

"I'm looking forward to it. The Thunder's management is so sloppy. It can't be seen in the preseason. When it comes to the regular season, you can cry. It's a waste of Yi Jian's youth."

"The Thunder really have too many young players. They should introduce a few stable veterans, so that the team will be more effective at critical moments."

"The Thunder just don't want to spend money. Their salary space can clearly sign an All-Star."

"Let's watch the game. Yi Jian and Durant cooperate so well now. The Thunder's offensive end is really smooth!"

"It's really smooth, Thunder's offense is so good, Emperor Yi is invincible!"

The Grizzlies played well this time, and Yi Jian could feel that the youngsters on the other side were also growing.

Unfortunately, he and Durant grew up much faster than others.

Even if the Grizzlies become stronger, they cannot be the Thunder's opponent.

Yi Jian didn't play much in the preseason, but after he left, the Thunder also played well.

He felt a lot more at ease, and it seemed that they would be able to make a killing at the beginning of the regular season.

The Thunder will face the Hornets next. The Hornets are actually trying to become stronger, but they are also a small ball market. In order to maintain their competitiveness in the West, they have also spent a lot of money to attract some All-Stars who are not players.

They also worked very hard in the summer and traded Chandler for Okafor.

However, in order to save money, they also gave up good role players.

This is the case in the small ball market. If you can't pursue good stars, you can't bear to spend money.

Paul, who wants to win, has plans to leave, which is normal.

The Hornets' style is the same as last season, still pursuing defense.

It's just that their current lineup is not complete, and their offensive power is really hip. The Thunder won the game easily.

Without Chandler, Okafor did not play, and the Hornets are in a mess inside.

Yi Jian and Lopez killed the Quartet casually, and Ibaka and Jordan Jr., who came off the bench, had no opponents. The current Thunder, the average team can't stand against them at all.

Now the preseason schedule is not tight. After each game, Yi Jian will take the whole team to watch the game video, find out various deficiencies, and then improve in training.

As for three-pointers and free throws, they are old traditions.

Driven by everyone, even Jordan, whose free throws are outrageous, has steadily improved his free throw percentage.

It's just that he was a little bit worse before, so the improvement is obviously not good enough.

"There is nothing you can't practice. Players who believe this kind of words are lazy."

"We are a team with a clear goal, surely there will be no such players?"

When the atmosphere in the team is good, it is easy for players to improve. This is not nonsense.

Now there are a group of passionate youths in the Thunder team. Even if some players have different ideas, they don't want to be the one who goes against the team.

If you are on a bad team, many players will lie down directly.

Not to mention that Lei Ting's group of young people are all talented, they will compete together, and many times the training is full of chicken blood. Yi Jian also likes this kind of atmosphere.

It's good for everyone to win together, let others lose.

For Yi Jian, the current preseason is just an easy warm-up, which doesn't mean much.

He is now likely to get a triple-double if he plays for twenty or so minutes.

Yi Jian is not obsessed with triple-doubles, but he can still do it in the preseason.

Scoring and rebounding is very easy for him. With Durant around, it seems easy to collect assists. After all, many defensive teams in the preseason are really poor.

In the game against the Suns, Durant scored 30 points in 40 minutes, and Yi Jian had a triple-double in [-] minutes.

The outside world is also amazed, the combination of the two is really terrifying.

The teams they have encountered one after another are not weak. This time, the Suns' core players have also played, but they are really not enough in front of the Thunder.

Although many people still insist that the Thunder will not go well this season, the preseason can't explain anything at all.

But many so-called experts have begun to change their words and become bottomless flattery.

This group of people just want to make money, and Yi Jian always tells his teammates that there is no need to take it too seriously no matter whether the outside world praises or belittles them.

The sun now sends O'Neal away and returns to the familiar bombardment.

There is no doubt that they will once again become contenders in the West.

It's just that the sun can't really threaten the rising Thunder.

The Thunder are not afraid of fast-paced teams at all, nor are they afraid of positional warfare.

Teams without hard power are really the first to sell their bids in front of them.

What is hard power, that is, the alliance = a strong team.

Even if the Suns regain the strength of the second-tier strong team this season, that's it.

The preseason can't explain anything, but there is also a preliminary judgment on the player's personal ability

A strong team like the Suns still lacks a superstar.

Two days later, the Thunder beat the Heat again.

Wade did not play for the Heat, and there is no value for discussion at all.

The Thunder started the preseason relatively late, and there are more games in the later period.

Players like Yi Jian and Durant, who no longer need to be investigated, began to pick up the game.

The two cores of the Rockets team did not play, and they lost a game.

Obviously, there's a difference between them coming off the bench and not playing at all.

In fact, there are players who played well in this game, but they are prone to chaos.

The main problem is Yi Jian. Yi Jian is now even grasping the organization. As a result, he, like a core player like James, has a great influence on the team's tactics. When he is not around, players tend to be unable to play.

Of course, the Thunder and the Cavaliers are different, and their configuration is better.

So now it is just a performance of running-in, Yi Jian believes that the team can solve this problem.

In the penultimate game of the preseason, the Thunder got serious, and they planned to really test the team's combat effectiveness.

Because the opponent is the Spurs, the Spurs, as a veteran western powerhouse, are undoubtedly a good mirror.

Coupled with the grievances and grievances between the two teams in the playoffs, the game can be said to be a happy one.

Even if Yi Jian knew that the Spurs were like that this season, it would be nice to be able to bully an established team.
