If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 161 The opponent is too weak
[Season Mission: Competitor. 】

[As a contender for the championship, let's go to a showdown with powerful enemies. 】

After the preseason ended, after a few days of adjustments, the regular season officially started.

The Thunder is also a more eye-catching team now.

Yi Jian brought more than half of the traffic, and pulled up the traffic of others by the way.

In history, Durant has not been noticed by more fans so early.

"How is it? Are you ready?" Yi Jian asked relaxedly.

"Needless to say, we can't wait."

The regular season will start at home, which is very cool, and the fans are also ready to go.

Their first opponent is the King, who continues to rebuild.

The Kings actually want to rebuild completely. They regretted a bit after renewing Martin last season.

It's just that the king's management doesn't have much courage.

They want to rebuild, but they also want to tinker first.

Of course, it is also a quasi-All-Star like Martin who can't exchange any good assets.

They selected some rookies in the new season, and now they plan to train Tyreke Evans with all their strength.

If Evans can adapt to the NBA, the country will decide to completely rebuild.

Everyone in the following story knows that this combo guard with excellent physical fitness can directly bully the No. [-] position in the NBA.

The king let him play from the first position, he played well, and then went to the second and third positions. Evans' advantage gradually disappeared, and then he was half disabled due to injuries.

Now Evans is obviously in a good time. The original boss of the team, Martin, is not tough, and he can directly have a lot of possessions.

In many cases, how much possession a player can get when entering the NBA really depends on luck, not necessarily on the pick.

Just rebuilding, and the team has no other suitable candidates, the rookie can get a perfect start.

Of course, not everyone can bear it. Many people only have a chance for one year, and if they don't make it, they will be replaced by the next rookie.

The Kings, who are still rebuilding, can't be the opponent of the Thunder. They still play an offensive style, or they can't defend well.

Their new head coach actually wants to focus on defense, but he is not good at this aspect, and if he is reluctant, it will be easy to cause problems in offense.

He is also the kind of old-school offensive coach who pursues offense but does not pay attention to three-pointers. It can be said that they are all styles of play that have been eliminated by history.

Sometimes please ask the head coach, please too experienced may encounter this situation.

Therefore, after the rapid development of basketball tactics, there will be more and more young coaches.

Age is not the key, the important thing is to keep up with the development of the times.

The Thunder still have the same lineup as last season, but the style of play has changed slightly.

Lowry is a relatively steady point guard, but not a master of organization, so Yi Jian's supporting team will definitely use it. The Thunder's offensive tactics have also changed a little this season.

As soon as the game started, the Thunder directly slapped the opponent.

Not only Yi Jian and Durant, but also Lopez had no opponents. The three of them went crazy together, and the score gap reached double digits in an instant.

The current Thunder is that strong.

If the King's outside line is still a bit offensive, their inside line is not good at both offense and defense.

The strength gap between the two teams is too large, and the Thunder also gave the substitute players a lot of opportunities.

However, it may be the first game of the season, and most of the substitute players are a little bit reluctant.

But it's not completely fruitless, Dragic performed well.

It seems that Watson can retire at ease in the substitute position of the No. [-] position.

Thunder coach Brooks is also in a good mood. Although the performance of the bench is not perfect, the main lineup is really strong. He is very happy with the performance of Lowry and Lopez. The two have obviously improved and are worthy of their Western Conference. The strong team started.

And Sefolosha is also qualified as a 3D performance and is a good role player.

Now as long as there are a few people on the bench who can show value, they have almost no weaknesses this season.

Yi Jian is not worried at all, that is to say, Matthews and Grindo need to exercise on the flanks, and there is really no need to worry about other positions.

Especially inside, he plus Lopez, the three substitutes Ibaka, Jordan and Collison can all be on the defensive end. It is estimated that there is no team in the league that still has their inside configuration. Go back a little bit.

In fact, in this game, even when the lineup is rotated, the Kings can't take advantage of it. The Kings are too weak.

In the third quarter, Yi Jian and Durant made a little more effort, and the game lost its suspense ahead of schedule.

After the game, Yi Jian talked eloquently, "I'm not surprised by our state in the game, it's our performance of preparation. We are not dark horses, we are a real strong team."

"Moreover, this is not our strongest form. We are still helping teammates who have to take on more tasks in the new season to adapt. This is what we need to do well. When we are well-adjusted, we will not be afraid of any challenges."

He scored a triple-double in three quarters and had 4 blocked shots. It was Yi Jian who got off to a good start.

And Durant, who scored the highest score in the game, was naturally very happy.

He said: "There is a lot more cooperation between Yi and I. I like this change. We can both do a lot of things."

The Kings are naturally not a contender, but neither are the Pistons in the new season.

The Pistons management actually has a good idea, and they don't want to completely rebuild. They play micromanagement and save money.

In terms of saving money, they still do a good job.

Reinforcing Stuckey, cheaply signed the flawed quasi-All-Star attacker Ben Gordon, the striker Villanueva who also has obvious advantages and disadvantages, and then welcomed back the veteran Ben Wallace who has no big contract, plus The previous lineup felt pretty good.

However, their newly elected head coach was very hip and did not bring out the offense. Instead, the team's previous defense was gone.

Coupled with Hamilton's injury, the Pistons directly became a fish belly with no defense and no offense.

Sometimes, if you don’t have a good level, don’t play operations, honestly pursue star players or perform poorly, otherwise the operation may be worse than poor performance.

Facing such a Piston, what else is there to say, just hit it.

In fact, the defense of the Pistons is still better than that of the Kings, but their offense is worse. Yi Jian is just playing casually.

It's really not difficult to play against Villanueva.

The Pistons have a group of offensive players, and it's amazing if they don't play offense.

Sometimes it's not to blame the fans for complaining. Some of the team's operations feel that fans who don't understand the ball can't do it.

It may also be better than some teams' tactics to tether the dog on the coach's bench and let the players play freely.

The winning streak in the new season came very smoothly, and the Thunder clocked out of get off work in almost three quarters.

Lopez can eat the opponent's best defensive awareness alone, so there is nothing to say.

The opponent is too weak, Yi Jian showed the arrogance of a strong team.
