If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 162 We are the Big Boss
[Strength exceeds that of ordinary All-Stars, and some rewards will be integrated into the season performance settlement. 】

Yi Jian was a little dazed, why did it come out like this before it started.

The strength is too strong, eat your rice?
People who used to be arrogant about weak opponents immediately became angry when their interests were harmed.

"We can't slack off because of our strength. Our opponents are not those mediocre teams at all. Our goal is the championship, so we must redouble our efforts!"

Yi Jian looked ambitious, leading the Thunder players to practice shooting.

"When will your three-point shooting have my strength, so you can feel a little more at ease."

"And even I practice hard. If you want to get ahead in the NBA, you have to work hard. You don't have to be wronged. If you work hard, you can make a lot of money. Win games and make money. Do you understand if you win?"

As an old man who has entered the league for the third season, the young players are very convinced of Yi Jian.

As an ambitious player, Yi Jian trains with him every day, and his blood boils.

The end of October was considered a small test, and starting in November, the Thunder will also be considered to face their competitors in the West.

On November 11, they played against the Blazers who came to challenge at home.

The situation of the Blazers is a bit similar to that of the Thunder. Both young cores have been growing, but their strength is not at the level of the Thunder.

In the summer, the Blazers vacated a lot of salary space, and they plan to do a big job.

It's a pity that their efforts didn't yield much in the end, and some quasi-All-Star players were unwilling to come to assist Roy and Aldridge.

But they still found an experienced organizer for the team, that is Andre Miller.

In this case, the Blazers' lineup can be regarded as fully formed, but there are more young people, and it is difficult to predict how far they can go.

The Blazers' injuries are also a problem. Batum is still recovering from his injuries, and Oden's situation is not safe.

To be honest, the Blazers have no fewer players than the Thunder, but there is still a gap in their strengths.

In this game, the Blazers also got off to a good start.

When Oden is healthy, their defense is really good.

Even without Batum on their wings, there are still a large number of players who can consume Durant in turn.

Webster's defense against Durant was very successful at the beginning, or Durant himself was unstable again.

Yi Jian discovered that Durant was actually a little afraid of a team with help defense.

A big man with help, his shot can sometimes suffer.

Durant has gradually reached the peak, but he is still not so stable. His mentality and judgment still need to be honed.

Yi Jian felt that the Trail Blazers were different from the previous teams, and they were particularly enthusiastic about facing the Thunder.

The more obvious one is Oden. It is estimated that the memories of last season are a bit unbearable.

At the beginning of this season, Oden has indeed shown his strength on the defensive end and has become more and more tough.

The media also said that Oden has said goodbye to the word "soft guy"!

It is a pity that his injury was not complete, and his body could not support a tough style of play.

In the first quarter of this game, it was Oden and Aldridge who resisted the inside line of the Thunder, and they found the opportunity to gain the advantage first.

"Brothers, we can't be compared to them!"

"Focus, we're going to do a better job than them."

Yi Jian constantly communicates with his teammates to prevent the game from going in an unpredictable direction.

During the rotation period, the performance of the two teams' substitutes was almost the same.

Yi Jian was also analyzing the situation on the court. The Blazers played well, and he became excited.

"The Blazers' team defense is really good, this is where we need to learn."

"We have to play our own characteristics, which is our more fluid offense."

After playing again in the second quarter, Durant started the foul-making mode, and the Thunder overtook the score.

Durant feels a little bit back, and feels that the Blazers can't stop him. It can only be said that the core strength of the Blazers is too ordinary.

Yi Jian used to think that Roy was very good, but at this time Thunder's outside defense forced him to break through, and Yi Jian was inside to help defend. Roy's offensive efficiency can be said to have plummeted. Facts have proved that he is not too troublesome, Huang Ba The gap between Mann and Black Barman is still a bit big.

At the last moment of the first half, Roy made a strong three-pointer and hit the iron, and the Thunder led by 3 points and entered the intermission.

Back in the locker room, Yi Jian talked eloquently out of habit.

This shows that the opponent has aroused his interest. If the opponent is too weak, he doesn't bother to say more.

"It's still necessary to strangle their two strong points, and then pay a little attention to the outside three-pointer."

It's really not difficult for them to play the Blazers, because the Blazers have made too many breakthroughs.

As for the Thunder's five insiders, four of them have frame protection skills and can assist in defense. The Blazers are not easy to play at all.

In the second half, the Blazers were unable to improve their offensive end and could only focus more on defense.

It's just that the Thunder's offense is not enough to rely on defense alone.

Yi Jian began to attack the inside. After he caused Oden to make four fouls, the Blazers' defense was also somewhat difficult.

To be honest, Aldridge is a bit soft.

The Blazers' substitute insider Pulzbila also fouled four times quickly, and because of the misplaced singles, the two guards of the Blazers have also fouled four times.

Durant's penalty king skills are becoming more and more proficient.

In fact, the Thunder did not lead by much. Compared with the previous opponents, the spirit of the Blazers is indeed different.

The young Blazers are very motivated, and they foul a lot to keep the score.

It's a pity that it's useless even if they retain the last ray of hope, their offense still can't stand up.

In the last 2 minutes, Yi Jian scored 5 points in a row to help the team win.

In this game, he didn't deliberately pursue assists. The triple-double was gone, but the double-double was still very stable.

In fact, Yi Jian has not deliberately pursued scoring this season.

He is also a bit of a boss now, and now he is driving his teammates, and he will come again if the teammates can't attack him.

Or let others play first, and he will take over the game at the end of the quarter.

This feeling is very refreshing, and it can also make the statistics of his teammates look better. He doesn't need to do everything.

Even outside of a few games, he didn't need to play that much.

Yi Jian's eyes are no longer on the regular season, he wants to lead the team to win the opponent in the playoffs, the regular season is just a stage for him to adjust his state.

After the game, the reporter asked about Durant's free throws, and Yi Jian made a commercial compliment, "There is no doubt that he has become more mature."

"When the team leads the opponent in the score, you can try to continue to consolidate the lead through free throws, and you don't have to always go to the jumper."

"I feel the progress of the Blazers. They are eager to win, but obviously, they have to take it step by step, and we are already like the big BOSS in the game."
