If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 168 Working hard to improve
During the Heat's intermission, the coaching staff decided on the strategy for the second half through discussions.

That is to shrink the defense. Both Yi Jian and Durant have the ability to break through, and Lopez is also very threatening inside, so they must block the inside.

As for the outside line, it depends on fate. They are not as strong as Thunder, so they can only gamble.

Of course, it's not about playing outside. The Heat will also try to interfere with the Thunder's outside shots, but they just give priority to defending the inside.

However, the Heat's adjustment failed at the beginning of the second half.

Yi Jian shot two long two-pointers directly from the outside and hit them all.

Heat coach Spoelstra's eyes are dull, this is completely unreasonable, what should I do?
Yi Jian was not the only one who was unreasonable. The Heat soon discovered that none of the Thunder's players were very reasonable.

It didn't take long for their defensive strategy to fail.

The Heat used it to find it on the offensive end, and Wade also made several long two-pointers.

No matter what defensive system, two points long is the most difficult scoring method to limit.

Because making two-pointers is a relatively inefficient offensive method, but two-pointers are much more difficult than other scoring methods. Ordinary players rarely rely on this to make a living, and the defense will therefore force opponents to shoot long two-pointers.

But on the other hand, this is also an easier way to shoot when you need to score.

Some big-hearted stars will rely on this trick to end the game at critical moments.

Yi Jian used this trick to break the game in the third quarter. Wade originally wanted to use the same method to retaliate, but he didn't expect that the hand feeling was not so good. After several strikes, the Thunder's lead expanded.

Wade was also severely targeted when he met the Thunder. After his best breakthrough was restricted, no matter how he played, it really didn't go well.

Seeing that the game is getting worse and worse, the Heat are also desperate.

They replaced Cook, a three-pointer, and started to make three-pointers with all their strength, and fully strengthened the outside attack.

"The Heat made another three-pointer. Unfortunately, the Thunder's perimeter defense is very tight. The ball was interfered and missed."

"Wade also started shooting [-]s... Wade finally hit a [-]."

"Cook hit the three! But it came too late."

"Yi Jian made a three-pointer! He is indeed the king of three-pointers!"

"With Durant also hitting a three-pointer, the Thunder's lead has come to 20 points, and the game has no suspense. It is obviously a wrong decision for the Heat to choose to attack the Thunder from the outside."

The Heat are not a weak team, so they are being beaten by the Thunder, and there are more and more voices from the outside world bragging about the Thunder.

The Thunder didn't strengthen much in the summer, but they couldn't stand up to their young players' growth speed.

Every rookie has grown up, why is their luck so good.

However, there have always been voices of bad-mouthing the Thunder.

For things like public opinion, there must be opposition, so that everyone can make money together.

Thunder's record is indeed very good, but the time is not long, and it is not particularly exaggerated.

After winning the Heat, they still lost back-to-back away games to the Magic.

Lewis and Carter came back, and Nelson was not in the Magic to play a rare team offense.

In fact, the Thunder paid attention to Warcraft, and Howard's performance was average, but the Magic's role players broke out collectively, and the Thunder had no choice.

When the Magic lineup is complete this season, the offensive power of role players is indeed stronger.

Redick, Ryan Anderson and other pitchers are very adaptable to the Magic system.

The Magic's core strength is not enough, and it will be a relatively difficult existence among the league's first-tier teams.

After this game, Yi Jian also discovered that there would be no rewards for losing in this season's missions.

It is getting more and more difficult to improve your strength, and you must seize the opportunity when you have the opportunity.

The most difficult schedule of this month is over, and the Thunder only lost one game, which is still very good.

Back at home, the Thunder ushered in a challenge from the Wizards two days later.

The Wizards have had ups and downs in the past few seasons due to injuries.

At this stage, Arenas, Jamison and Butler, the three Musketeers finally fit together, but the team has lost the original passion.

The current Wizards are too bad overall.

Their three strong points can still score, but the team's defense is a mess.

There are also many talented players who can play statistics, but they are completely unsuitable together.

This team has lost heart and must be rebuilt.

Now, when their performance was really poor, the Thunder easily won.

But then, the Thunder went to the away game and lost to the Lakers, who already had a full lineup.

In this game, the Lakers played an excellent defense.

Although still losing rebounds, Gasol's tactical effect on the Lakers is obvious.

When Durant was slow to heat up, the Thunder suppressed the opponent in the second half and failed to recover the score.

Yi Jian also made a summary after the game. He must be more flexible when to pass and when to attack.

Sometimes things go wrong when you don't choose well.

If he had attacked at the beginning of this match, the ending might have been different.

Yi Jian's plan was to let his teammates attack first, and then close the game at the end of the quarter. As a result, the start was not good, and the whole game was uncomfortable.

"The competition experience still needs to accumulate more."

"If you see something is wrong, you should be strong."

"But don't worry about it too much. After all, it's the regular season, and you can't play like a playoff. I'm already very strong. There's no need to increase the risk for a small reward. It's serious to continue to help the team become stronger."

After losing, Yi Jian organized everyone to watch the video together.

"As a team aiming to win the championship, we must know why we lost and why we won the game. Only by knowing our own weaknesses and advantages can we grow in a targeted manner."

"Yi, I get a headache when I watch the video. You just pointed out my shortcoming. I will work hard."

"That depends. Yi's analysis is very accurate. He is doing it for everyone's benefit."

"Needless to say, together we are, the Lakers are the ones we have to beat."

Yi Jian's most successful thing now is to guide the players into a whole.

Everyone in the team has different interests and hobbies, and the circles are also different, and the relationship is open.

But in terms of helping the team improve their strength and pursue a better record, everyone has the same goal and believes in Yi Jian.

In this kind of atmosphere, players supervise each other, healthy competition, and the improvement is really rapid.

Of course, it's also because many young people in the Thunder are really talented.

At the beginning of the season, the records between the strong teams were very close.

If the Thunder continue to lose, they may drop out of the top four in the Western Conference. The team and players attach great importance to it.

On March 11, the Thunder played away against the Jazz.

The young Thunder have not forgotten the previous losses, and they will never allow the team to have a losing streak.

So after the game started, the Jazz's defensive players felt tremendous pressure.

Yi Jian and Durant immediately started to attack, they really couldn't stand it.
