If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 184 Make persistent efforts
The Heat are not weak in the East, but they do not have a qualified second strong point, and they are overwhelmed by the Thunder.

When Wade broke through, he had to face all kinds of big men inside, and he couldn't hit the ball at all.

After winning the Heat, the Thunder will start a four-game winning streak.

At the end of January, the Thunder's schedule was not as comfortable as before.

This is when winter is relatively cold, and going to away games is not just about playing.

Fortunately, Yi Jian can endure loneliness, stay in the hotel as long as he can, and never go out to wander around.

For some players who feel dizzy, it is more tormented.

On January 1, the Thunder came to Atlanta.

After the Eagles won Crawford in the summer, the team's firepower has been improved, and they have also become the best in the Eastern Conference regular season.

Although they can only be regarded as a second-tier team, their current record does bite the Cavaliers and other first-tier teams, which is not comparable to those rogue playoff teams in the East.

Moreover, they used Crawford as a substitute, which can be regarded as telling other teams how to use this player, and started Keliu's sixth-man career.

The Eagles can also be regarded as a type with both offense and defense. Apart from not being strong enough, they have no other weaknesses.

As for the link of the strongest point, at least half of the playoff teams will have this situation, which is nothing.

After all, there are sixteen teams in the playoffs, and there are only ten players in the first team. These ten players are not evenly distributed. Not every team can have strong stars.

The Eagles did a good job defending, and they did the same after the game started. For Yi Jian and Durant, they were the main defense with one man and the inside assisted defense.

However, the effect was not very good. Yi Jian and Durant came up in good condition.

In the final analysis, attackers of their level could not be defended without flanking.

There may be strong defensive players who can limit them alone, but obviously the Eagles' main defense players are not yet at the level.

Superstars who can single-handedly lock down the offensive end are rarer than first-team players.

Yi Jian felt right away that the Eagles really wanted to win, and many of their defenses couldn't be said to be in place, but they couldn't imagine a player of Yi Jian's level.

After the Thunder quickly took the lead, the Eagles were still full of energy.

They reduced their rotation and let the main players fight against each other, as if they were desperate for the playoffs.

To be precise, there are only six of their main players. Besides Crawford, another rotation player, Zaza Pachulia, actually goes to the top of the paint for a period of time, only ten minutes.

This desperate attitude did allow them to stabilize the situation in the second quarter.

Durant's touch also fluctuated. Marvin Williams, who defended Durant, worked hard. He was forced to rest due to defense in the first quarter, but soon returned to the court and adjusted the defensive details. The rand limit is okay.

Of course, this limitation only makes Durant need to adjust for a certain period of time. Generally speaking, Durant is still more aggressive than any player in the Eagles.

As for Yi Jian, they really had no choice, Yi Jian was too comprehensive.

So the Eagles still mainly prevent him from scoring, regardless of the passing aspect.

On the offensive end, the Eagles are still doing well, and they will bloom more.

The Hawks don't have very good main playmakers, but each of them can pass the ball, which is a bit of college basketball.

In the next many seasons, although the coaches changed, this style has been maintained.

When playing against a weak team, the team style of play is defenseless and can directly blow up the opponent.

But when facing strong teams, they have enough multi-points to bloom, but the flowers are not big enough.

Everyone only scored a few points, maybe not as many as one or two stars of their opponents.

And at a critical moment, this kind of multi-point flowering will become no one to bloom.

In professional leagues, basketball games still require too much talent.

At the critical moment, the star is better than any subtle tactics, which is the nightmare of team basketball.

The Spurs are often called the role model of team basketball, but without Duncan, it is impossible to become a championship contender in team basketball alone.

It's okay to shout the slogan of team basketball, but I really believe it's a layman.

In the first half, the Eagles' various efforts did not allow the gap between the two teams to reach double digits.

If they are still like this in the second half, it is difficult to have suspense in the game.

As for the Thunder, almost no adjustments are required.

The current strength of the Eagles on both ends of the offense and defense is a bit lacking in the taste of the Kobe Lakers, and neither end is top-notch.

But the Lakers have superstars, and the Hawks' Joe Johnson is just a regular All-Star, which makes a big difference.

In the third quarter, the Eagles tried to flank, but Lopez scored inside.

Seeing that the Thunder extended the lead to double digits in less than 3 minutes, the Eagles immediately requested a timeout, and then let Crawford replace the aging Bibby.

White Devil Bibby is only 32 years old, but his strength has dropped a lot from his peak.

At the peak of the quasi-All-Star level, now it is a bit reluctant for a strong team to start.

When the strong confront each other, it will become the weak link.

After Crawford came up, the Eagles' offense improved.

But on the defensive end, nothing has changed.

Moreover, Crawford's efficiency is not good.

Under Lowry's dedicated defense, the Hawks' sixth man was obviously disturbed.

"Victory streak, winning streak..."

Many Thunder fans couldn't help cheering while watching the live broadcast.

The Thunder have been so powerful during this period, and the abuse of food has made the fans' blood boil.

In the second half, the Thunder still rotated normally, which gave the Eagles a little chance.

It's just that they don't have the ability to fully grasp it, and their explosive scoring ability is still a bit weak in front of the Thunder's defense.

By the end of the quarter, the Eagles' problems will be magnified.

Almost none of them are sure to score, and the offensive end is getting worse.

They finally put up a two-guard lineup. The two backcourts shot seven three-pointers in a row, but only hit one. Naturally, there is no suspense in losing.

[Lead the team to defeat the rival Eagles, and reward layup +1. 】

After the Thunder defeated the Eagles and won [-] consecutive victories, they quickly defeated the Timberwolves on the road and won [-] consecutive victories.

The Timberwolves are super weak now, but they hired a pretentious head coach, Kurt Rambis. Rambis can do nothing but beep, and he is unwilling to train the team with all his strength when the team is bad. Potential player Love.

Love has become the team's rebounding leader after playing more than 20 minutes off the bench, and his scoring efficiency is also very high, but he is still under pressure. The current head coach will leave to explode.

Although Love is not a player with top potential, he is still at the All-Star level. He was suppressed by the head coach for two years on a poor team, which is also far from the spectrum.

After killing the Timberwolves, the Thunder came to Memphis again.

The current Grizzlies are actually playing well and are a fringe team in the Western Conference playoffs.

They are also going all out, hoping to reach the playoffs.

Facing the Thunder again, the young Grizzlies were not convinced at all, and they were also making rapid progress.
