If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 205 Don't Care

"What we have to do is to simply take down the opponent." Yi Jian routinely communicated with his teammates after training.

"It's important that we stay in shape and stay healthy."

"We have to stay focused to do all of this well."

"We can't slack off, we have to show the focus of a championship-level team."

Yi Jian was a little worried that his teammates would drift away, which would affect the next game.

However, after his observation, maybe they are a little drifting, but they still treat the game meticulously.

They are all very excited and excited. After all, they have never won a championship, and they have never even seen the Western Conference Championship. They really hope to reach the top.

This desire will never be fake.

"Don't worry, Yi, we will not be careless."

"Kill them hard and don't give them any chance, so Yi won't keep talking, haha..."

Two days later, the Thunder's second playoff game started on time.

The lineups of both sides have not changed much, but this time the Thunder's offense started more violently.

The Thunder had been resting for a long time in the first game, and it took some time to find the feel after coming up, but this time it was different.

The Blazers themselves also had problems with their offense. Old Miller was an experienced guard, not even at the quasi-All-Star level. In this game, Lowry usually blocked him, and he couldn't help the Blazers win the game.

Trail Blazers coach McMillan stood on the sidelines, walking up and down, very anxious.

If there is still hope in the first game, this round is really crushing.

If this continues, the confidence of the players will be lost.

Facing the Thunder, their loss is acceptable, but it shouldn't be too ugly.

It's just that the coaching staff of the Trail Blazers really has nothing to do now, and no one of them can stand up.

"Is the gap between the teams in the West so big now?"

"Actually, there is no way. The Blazers are affected by injuries, and the Thunder are too strong."

"The Blazers' fighting spirit has been beaten, and the Thunder are too ruthless."

"Yi Jian is really powerful, suppressing opponents both offensively and defensively."

"With a group of young people, you can crush your opponents. I haven't seen such a player for many years."

"Jordan wasn't that good back then, right? Yi Di Niubi!"

The Blazers did not take advantage of entering the rotation period this time, because the Thunder have already played high.

After the substitute players came on the field, they also performed very well.

By the end of the first half, the Thunder had already led by double digits, and Yi Jian also made Aldridge fall into foul trouble.

Aldridge is so soft now, no wonder he can't get the maximum salary.

It's normal not to be able to guard against Yi Jian, but he is also timid on the offensive end.It seemed useless.

During the intermission, Yi Jian was very happy,
"This kind of momentum is needed on the court. We are the strongest team in the league. Even in the playoffs, we must perform at our best."

"Everyone, let's work harder together, we want to end the game as soon as possible."

If you are still struggling with a team like the Trail Blazers, then it is hard not to be surprised when you meet a strong team.

In the Blazers locker room, McMillan was communicating with Aldridge.

"Lamarcus, you can do more, the team needs you."

"We need to be tougher, we can make trouble for the Thunder. Boys, don't let them underestimate us!"

In the third quarter, Aldridge was much braver and began to look for opportunities to make shots.

Aldridge must have strength, even if he lacks confrontation ability, he still has a chance to score with his height and wingspan.

If he can come out, it will definitely help the Blazers.

It's just that he still can't help the team win the Thunder.

Aldridge played slightly better in the second half, but the Blazers' weakness did not change.

The Thunder continued to dominate the game on both ends of the offense and defense, expanding their lead.

When the score difference between the two sides reaches 20+, everyone knows that there will be no suspense about the outcome.

In the final quarter, both teams sent substitute lineups.

In the joy of the home fans singing and dancing, the Thunder series led 2:0.

Thunder coach Brooks also said after the game: "Our players are hungry, they are eager to win. We play at a high level and compete like crazy."

"Going to the away game, we will still go all out. They are really a very good team."

Trail Blazers coach McMillan said: "You have to win 4 games to be considered a win. The opponent let us feel their strong willpower. We must strengthen our sense of urgency. We cannot let the series end so easily. .”

Yi Jian, who won a triple-double in three quarters, was very humble after the game. He said: "I just try my best to do my job. We can win because we are a good team. My teammates are great. I His coach is also great, so I'll be hoping for more wins."

Durant also accepted an interview after the game. He was much more efficient in this game.

He said: "We try to play aggressively, we actively change positions, so it is difficult for opponents to guard us."

After playing two home games, the Thunder played normally.

If you go to an away game, you still have to be more careful.

With the strength of the Thunder, there is no need to worry about those small factors in the away game.

But if you give the Blazers the confidence to seize the opportunity, there will still be some trouble.

The more the team is in good condition, the less Yi Jian wants any problems to arise.

During the training, Yi Jian took the lead and worked hard, and carefully observed the status of the others.

If the team encounters any difficulties at that time, he must also know what to do.

Since he is the boss of the team, he must bear more than others.

As long as he wins the championship this season, Yi Jian's status in the league is almost certain, and there is nothing to lose.

The Blazers are also a group of young people, and they are not willing to lose just like this.

Back at home, they also hope that the series will change.

Roy's injury has not fully healed, but he expressed his willingness to come back. He is a more energetic player.

After careful consideration, the Blazers decided to take a look first.

After all, back home, if there is no change, it is useless to rush to Roy.

The Blazers are also conflicted now, neither willing to take risks with Roy, but also looking forward to Roy's comeback to lead the team to change the disadvantages.

"We have to win at home."

"Come on everyone, we need to let them know that this series is not over yet."

Before the start of the game, a group of Blazers players got together to cheer.

Aldridge also had a serious face, knowing that he had to stand up.

When Roy is unable to play, he is the strongest point of the Blazers.

In Thunder's locker room, Yi Jian and others stepped out and entered the court.

They heard the boos from the fans, no home fans like visiting teams.

However, they don't care.
