If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 180 You Are A Champion Level

The Jazz can spoil the situation in the West, and they must have certain strengths.

The Thunder can restrain opponents, but they can't handle them at halftime.

After all, style restraint is also mutual. If the Jazz can do their best, they may be able to restrain the Thunder in turn, but the possibility of this is extremely low.

In the first half, the Thunder took a solid lead, but they did not lead by double digits.

In the third quarter, the Jazz's defense became more fierce.

The Jazz's so-called iron-blooded defense has always relied on the body, not on tactics or defensive awareness.

It sounds old-school tough at best, but dirty at worst.

Thunder's young man was still slightly affected.

The professional league is much dirtier than it was in college.

However, the league also has rules, and things that go too far are relatively rare on the court.

And as long as you concentrate, you can avoid injuries caused by some bad movements.

In the final analysis, whether it is a business alliance or something, competitive sports still come first.

Yi Jian and Durant exert their strength, but the Jazz just can't do anything.

As the Thunder also performed well during the rotation period, their lead came to double digits.

In the case of falling behind, the Jazz's style of play has not changed.

Their tactics have always been Sloan's pick-and-roll, which has been studied by every team in the league, and there is no secret anymore.

The slight difference is that Deron added shots instead of Boozer.

Compared with Boozer facing Yi Jian, it is better for Deron to fight Lowry.

At the end of the quarter, Deron finally found the touch, and the efficiency was good.

It's a pity that it's a bit over, and Deron didn't have a three-pointer, but just a two-pointer.

When he scored, the Jazz's role players gave him too little help.

The main reason is that the Thunder doesn't have any intention of flanking. The Jazz's strengths don't need to be like this.

There is no flanking, forcing Deron to continue playing singles, which is also a part of defensive tactics.

If you encounter a superstar like Kobe, you must attack.

Therefore, for teams with superstars, offensive tactics are easier to play, because superstars can attract defense.

It's hard to say if it's just the All-Star level.

Unable to attract more defenses, teams like the Jazz have to do better in terms of details in the playoffs before they can win.

This can be difficult for a team of their level, and it is naturally difficult for them to make it to the end of the playoffs.

The advantages of athletes are always unsolvable in competitive sports, and they are unsolvable compared to various subtle tactics.

In the last 5 minutes, the Thunder led by 10 points.

When Deron was aggressively chasing points, it was Yi Jian who was in charge of the Thunder. He attacked with Durant and Lopez.

No matter how effective Deron is, it can't compare to the Thunder three.

When the time reached the last 2 minutes, the Thunder's lead expanded.

With Deron scoring on the weak side, Jazz player Ronnie Brewer did not seize the opportunity, the game lost its suspense, and the Thunder won firmly.

After the game, Yi Jian praised his teammates again.

He said: "Kyle's defense against Deron is very good. He works hard every game and is an important part of the team. And he has always been improving. I believe he will grow into an All-Star player in the future. .”

The fans ridiculed that Yi Jianzuo's teammates are all all-star potential, and the Thunder is invincible.

Especially for Rockets fans in the past, the media always liked to blow the team's role players into all kinds of tigers.

Now Yi Jian doesn't want the media to brag, he just brags about his teammates.

Many other fans also disliked that Yi Jian's teammates were not strong enough. They always felt that if Yi Jian had better teammates, the Thunder would definitely perform better.

Yi Jian would always smile slightly when he heard such news. Others didn't know that there were really many All-Star embryos in their team, and there would be more and more All-Star teammates he had worked with in the future.

People with open eyes are so confident.

It's just that this season, the strength and qualifications of the young people in the team are still not conspicuous enough.

If they were in the East, it would be no problem for the Thunder to produce three All-Stars, but in the West, there would be more competition and difficulties.

When the time came to January 2010, Yi Jian's cheap shoes were selling well as soon as they came out.

The representatives of the merchants were overjoyed. They signed Yi Jian with the idea of ​​not losing money anyway. They did not expect Yi Jian's market appeal to be so strong.

Not only domestic fans bought it, but foreign fans also spent money to support it.

"Yi Jian, we can actually have a longer-term cooperation."

"We have spread out in Europe and the United States, and the brand influence and your influence complement each other..."

"Of course we can talk about it in detail in the future. I like win-win cooperation." Yi Jian said with a smile.

The two sides only tried a little bit, and did not go deep.

As a basketball player, income from sneakers will definitely be the largest part of Yi Jian's commercial income.

Now that he has proven his commercial value, he can indeed have a more in-depth cooperation with the other party when he wins the championship.

Now, there is no need to say more, he still needs more confidence.

When the time comes, Yi Jian is only responsible for setting the goal, and the agent will discuss it.

As long as he has enough commercial value, even if the negotiation here is not good, there will be other options.

So after the short commercial activities ended, Yi Jian returned to daily training.

The Thunder's schedule in January is relatively loose. It's really a good time for the team to show results. Yi Jian hopes that they will have a chance to secure the No. 1 throne in the Western Conference.

That's right, they made it to the top again.

After them, only the Lakers can compete with them.

The Suns had a losing streak before and have been surpassed by the Mavericks. It is very likely that they will not be able to keep the top four in the Western Conference.

After all, the Nuggets, Spurs, Jazz, and Trail Blazers are all eyeing up, and the Suns feel like they can't stand it.

The competition in the west is so fierce.

In addition to being outstanding in strength, the team must also work hard to stay healthy.

If there is an injury, it is very likely that he will have no choice but to withdraw from the competition.

The Thunder's first game of the new year is to go to the East to play against the Bucks. The Bucks have a slightly different lineup from last time. Their second-year defensive striker Mbah a Moute returned to the starting lineup.

In this game, the Bucks played better than in the last game, and they clung to the score in the first three quarters.

It's a pity that at the end of the quarter, none of them could stand up.

Even if Reid has a flash shooting performance, the Thunder will press it down.

The fringe playoff teams in the Eastern Conference are far behind the Thunder in terms of strength.

Two days later, the Thunder came to Chicago again.

The Bulls are now the same as the Bucks, but they are a marginal team in the Eastern Conference playoffs.

The only difference is that the second-year Bulls Rose already has the strength of the All-Star level.

Before Yi Jian's game, Lowry also communicated alone to discuss how to deal with Rose.

"Kyle, I'm not putting pressure on you, but now you need to get used to playing against all the best No. [-] players in the league."

"Because I believe that you are a championship-level point guard."
