If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 175 All People Are Soldiers
"Yi Jian hit two points again, and he has already scored 40 points."

"Durant stretched his hips again. Fortunately, Thunder has Yi Jian."

"Yi Jian is still strong, Ariza suppressed Durant in this outbreak, the Rockets still can't win."

"There is no one in the Rockets who can stop Yi Jian. Hayes already performed well when he went to defend today, but Yi Jian is too strong."

"Yao Ming doesn't know when he can recover from his injury. I want to watch Yao Yi fight."

"The Rockets are too bad, Dayao has so many injuries..."

"Actually, it's still a matter of playing style. Yi Jian also worked so hard in the playoffs..."

The Rockets are still the same as the previous few times, all the people are soldiers.

The contrast between them and the teams with super stars is really obvious, that is, they can bite the score in the first three quarters, but when the stars need to stand up at the critical moment, their current civilian lineup still can't help.

Yi Jian admires the opponent's current performance, but also knows that this rocket can't do more.

After the game, he wished Yao Ming a speedy recovery.

But he knew very well in his heart that Yao Ming was probably really ruined by injuries.

Heavy inside, too difficult.

In the future, when the style of play is more outside, it may be a good thing that there will be fewer and fewer heavy insiders.

Relying on Yi Jian's strong performance to win the back-to-back, Thunder started another back-to-back.

The intensity and intensity of NBA games are simply too much for ordinary athletes.

All the players who can dominate on this stage are outstanding in physical fitness.

And the two opponents they will face back to back in the away game are the first and second in the Western Conference.

The Thunder also stayed at the No. [-] position in the Western Conference for a while, but unfortunately they did not stabilize.

They are now third in the West, considered the first group in the West.

If they lose these two games, the Thunder will fall to the second group in the Western Conference, which Yi Jian doesn't want to see.

"I like head-to-head competition, we play a strong team."

"That's right, we are not afraid of the Lakers and the Suns."

"Look at what you said, it's not like we haven't won before."

This is what Thunderclap's young people look like now, and they can stir up the atmosphere with just a few words.

Last season's playoffs really gave them a lot of confidence, and there's no way a regular-season setback could beat them.

The Lakers are still in a familiar lineup, and both teams are now healthy.

They have played two games before, and the Lakers play no differently from last season. The difference between Ariza and Artest is not that big, and it is one of the teams that the Thunder is most familiar with.

The Lakers with a full lineup are very strong, but the Thunder have also learned their lessons and become more difficult to deal with.

After the game started, the Thunder played a smooth overall offense.

Yi Jian is also learning from Kobe now, he will organize to check the status of his teammates first.

His teammates are in good condition, so he will not attack immediately.

But the difference between him and Kobe is that Yi Jian has a good combination of scoring and organization, after all, he has a technical advantage.

Unlike Kobe, he can only organize when he organizes, and he can only score when he scores. It seems that he has to switch modes and cannot combine them.

When Yi Jian's teammates feel good, he will attack together with his teammates. He and Lowry can completely drive the entire team.

This game is like this, Yi Jian and Durant feel pretty good at the beginning, and Lowry and Sefolosha are also shooting fast, and they are fully opened from the outside.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Lakers directly played star tactics, and Kobe and Gasol came up with a big bag.

This is also the importance the Lakers attach to the Thunder. If Kobe from other teams might observe first, facing the powerful Western Conference Thunder, Kobe felt something was wrong and came directly.

Therefore, many strong teams in the West have already regarded the Thunder as a very troublesome competitor.

The Lakers now have five main players, the top three plus Kobe and Artest, but apart from Gasol, the others are really not so reliable, especially when playing against a strong team.

Soon, the Lakers discovered that it was too difficult for the Thunder to be all soldiers.

Kobe sometimes exploded and took away the Thunder, but usually it was only because of the poor performance of the Thunder's role players.

So the Lakers quickly rotated, but it was useless for Odom to come up.

Odom is deflated every time he faces Yi Jian. He will rely on Bynum to pull his hips when he stays on the court, and then we will see who pulls his hips more.

In fact, it doesn't matter if Yi Jian is strong alone, the Lakers are used to it.

Their three highs took turns to pinch, and they could barely handle it.

But it will be difficult if Durant also shows off his power, let alone the other players of the Thunder.

After the first quarter, Artest made two fouls, and Lakers coach Jackson's face turned green on the sidelines.

He loudly expressed his dissatisfaction with the referee. After all, if Artest goes down, the Lakers' substitute will definitely be eaten alive by Durant.

The Lakers' bench is not bad, if you don't look at the defense.

Their main lineup is definitely both offensive and defensive, but the defense of the rotation lineup is much worse.

So the Lakers often can't keep up defensively, which is sometimes fatal against a strong team like the Thunder.

And as the season progressed, the Thunder's bench lineup got better and better.

Dragic, Matthews, Ibaka and Jordan, although it is difficult for them to perform well at the same time, someone will always stand up. The key is that the Thunder's bench lineup is good defensively.

Even if the attack is not good, it will not make the opponent too comfortable.

This ebb and flow has caused the Lakers to be a little overwhelmed during the rotation period.

As soon as Kobe sat down, he saw the team lose points, and immediately couldn't sit still.

So, like playing in the playoffs, Kobe just took a breather on the sidelines and played again.

This is not the request of the head coach, but Kobe must play.

In the face of a strong opponent, Kobe is not willing to sit on the sidelines and watch.

It's just that other Lakers players, including Gasol, can't fight like him.

Yi Jian and Durant didn't play like this either. They rested more than Kobe Bryant, but less rested than other major players of the Lakers, and continued to lead the team to attack.

This season, the Thunder started stronger and stronger.

Yi Jian is also adapting so that his performance can complement that of his teammates.

"This game is really good, the two teams are too fierce. The performance of various stars, tit for tat..."

"Today Gasol and Bynum did a really good job on the defensive end. They helped defend so well, but they still couldn't withstand the Thunder's offense."

"As long as the Thunder's role players are stable on three-pointers, they are invincible on the offensive end."

"The real combination of offense and defense still depends on the Thunder."

"Thunder's young people are really talented, but they are indeed too young. When they grow up and perform more stably, they will be truly invincible."

"Beautiful, Yi Jian dunks Bynum!"

"Emperor Yi is mighty, beat Bynum down, hahaha..."

"Haha, Odom made a mistake when he came up, he was afraid when he saw Yi Di..."
