If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 178
"It's just that the defensive awareness has not kept up. The defensive strength can't be forcibly improved just by saying it." Yi Jian said lightly.

A few young people next to him were full of admiration.

Brother Yi is going to be a coach now, he will be very strong, the sun is completely seen through.

"Don't take it lightly, the Suns' offense is really strong, we have to use them as a sharpening stone."

To be honest, it can't be said that the sun is weak, but they are a little restrained by the Thunder.

The Thunder's group of young players have good physical fitness, and it's no problem to play fast.

On Stoudemire's side, there are too many difficulties to face.

Even if Yi Jian didn't face him directly, it would be very difficult for Stoudemire to handle Thunder's internal battle.

The Suns' offense is fast-paced and not focused on three-pointers.

Stoudemire and Nash can be said to be indispensable.

Without Stoudemire's impact, Nash could not lead others to beat strong teams.

After Stoudemire's efficiency dropped in the second half, the outcome of the game was actually doomed.

After Yi Jian and Durant played in the final quarter, they were still invincible in singles. This is something no one in the Suns can do.

When Stoudemire can't get up, they can only increase three-pointers.

Then, under the strict defense of the Thunder, the Suns' three-point shooting rate was completely unable to improve.

Until the end, the sun did not flank Yi Jian or Durant.

Unresolute assistance in defense has no effect on the two of them.

Halfway through the final quarter, the Thunder led by double digits.

In the last 2 minutes, the Thunder's lead was still expanding, and the Suns had nothing to do.

The outcome of the game was also settled. The Thunder defeated the Suns 127:123.

Durant scored 38 points, and Yi Jian had a triple-double with 29 points, 17 rebounds and 12 assists.

[Lead the team to defeat the strong competitor Sun, reward passing +1, ball possession +1. 】

Sun coach Gentry also sighed after the game: "Yi Jian is a superstar, there is nothing he can't do, Durant will become a superstar sooner or later. They are a strong team, really I like this team very much, they are young and full of fighting spirit."

"I think the difference between victory and defeat is that the opponent hit the ball at the critical moment, but we failed to make a shot. We had a lot of opportunities to grab rebounds in the backcourt, but we still gave the opponent a second attack in vain. Players like Yi Jian and Durant are simply deadly."

Stoudemire was also unhappy with the problems in the interior. He said: "We must not let our opponents grab offensive rebounds at will like today. We must force the opponent to reduce the number of offensive rebounds, otherwise the opponent will think that we are too unbearable. One hit."

Thunder coach Brooks felt better after defeating strong opponents in the West in a row. He said, "This is a great victory for us. Many of our players stepped forward at critical moments and completed the winning blow. .”

Yi Jian said: "Our goal is not to grab a lot of rebounds, we just keep telling ourselves that playing hard will eventually pay off, we can't let our opponents do whatever they want, we must face such a playoff competition. The team wins."

The strength of the Thunder has made the competition for the top three in the Western Conference more confusing, and there are many more people supporting them than before the season.

This is also divided into stages. At the beginning, their supporters increased sharply, and they lost a few games later and were considered useless. Now they have won the Lakers and Suns in a row, and they are blown to the sky again.

This is the turn-based system, but nearly two months after the start of the season, the Thunder has successfully convinced everyone to identify as a strong team in the Western Conference, and fewer and fewer people mention the term "dark horse".

Competitive sports are like this, victory will solve all doubts.

"We have to move on now." Yi Jian said to everyone in the team.

Before chasing the championship, Yi Jian asked everyone to set a small goal, that is to let the head coach Brooks also taste the taste of the All-Star head coach.

The position of All-Star head coach is nothing to many famous coaches, but it is also a good opportunity for young head coaches to show their faces.

Chasing achievements, chasing honors, nothing to be ashamed of.

On the contrary, this is the goal of competitive sports.

In the final stage of December, the Thunder will play back to back.

But before that, there is a separate home for adjustments.

On December 12, Bobcats visited.

This season, the Bobcats have finally made great defensive achievements and become the league's defensive leader.

It's just that their offense is too bad, so they are also marginal teams in the playoffs in the East.

But even so, it also surprised the outside world, after all, the outside world was not very optimistic about them before.

They harvested Chandler in the summer, but now that Chandler is still recuperating, the team can only make do with Muhammad.

Westbrook is still more valued in the Bobcats. The Bobcats' small boss, Jordan, who is now trying to become a big boss, likes Westbrook who has excellent physical fitness.

It's just that the head coach of the team, Larry Brown, is very strict. Although he is also optimistic about Westbrook, he has not given him privileges, and it is not realistic to achieve a big jump in statistics.

For a purely defensive team like the Bobcats, the upper limit depends on the configuration.

For the Thunder, Diaw and Muhammad's inside combination is too short.

To limit the Thunder Twin Towers, Chandler's comeback is not enough to watch, let alone the current Bobcats.

And if they can't stand up to the inside of the Thunder, the Bobcats can't do their best in many defensive strategies.

Why is the Bobcats the strongest defense in the league, but their record can't go up?

In addition to offense, their defense is actually more dragged out. It is good to restrict weak teams, but they can only stare when they encounter teams.

The star of a strong team relies on his personal ability to break through the defense point by point, and the effect is very good for a strong defensive team with poor offense.

Because it doesn't need too many points, it can be done in general, after all, the Bobcats' own scores are too poor.

After the game started, Durant faced Stephen Jackson's defense and needed to find his rhythm first.

Wu Sheng may be one of the strongest players at the quasi-All-Star level. He did not make it to the All-Stars, and there may be some personality reasons. His strength is actually stronger than many weak All-Stars. After all, he is a swingman who can exert strength on both ends of the offense and defense. .

Therefore, Yi Jian started by himself, and he quickly caused Dior to commit two fouls.

After Dior rested, Yi Jian and Lopez directly dominated the penalty area.

"Fuck, Thunderclap feels really strong playing this kind of old-fashioned positional warfare."

"It's just a little bobcat, just vote for it."

"The Bobcats are a very fierce little guard. Jordan said that Westbrook looks like him. Although he can't see the resemblance, but the dunk is really fierce... It's a pity that he is a bit overestimated. He was blocked again for challenging Yi Jian. He probably got pulled. Lee Brown scolded."

"Slam dunk still depends on Emperor Yi, the real god descends to earth."
