If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 212
After returning to the home court to win a victory, the Suns were obviously much more relaxed, and they saw hope.

Sun coach Gentry said: "Yi Jian is a unique player, he is really special. He can do many things on the court, so we can't give him any chance."

"We figured out a few ways, and then we played our real offense. Of course, it's not the right time to tell, but we're fighting this series hard and think it's going to be a long series."

"This win helped us a lot. Some people said before that the Thunder had a chance to sweep us. In fact, we will not let any team do it."

Thunder coach Brooks said: "They became stronger at home, which caused us to make mistakes. But it doesn't matter, our fighting spirit will not go out."

"Next game, I'm sure the players will sort things out."

After Yi Jian's loss, his tone was even tougher, "I know very well that we still need to win two more games in this series. The Suns are powerful opponents, and they are obstacles that we must overcome to move forward. Therefore, we will overcome them .”

Stoudemire was in high spirits after the game, although he did not score more points.

"I heard the cheers from the fans, it's hard for anyone not to be excited in this situation. We had this feeling that we can't lose at home and we're going to continue to play well."

The Suns' gambling defense cannot succeed every time, but the Thunder cannot rely on luck.

After Yi Jian communicated with the coaching staff after the game, he decided not to change the starting lineup.

Changing the starting lineup after losing a game is likely to affect the players, after all, the Thunder team is too young.

But Sefolosha's offensive strength is insufficient, and they will let Matthews play more.

If Matthews is not in good shape, Dragic can be used as a double guard.

The sun's defensive method of letting go of one person cannot allow them to succeed for the second time.

And in the future, Yi Jian will fight harder. When his teammates don't feel so good, he will fight hard by himself. He actually has this strength.

In fact, the Thunder still have a lot of cards, but they are only in the Western Conference semifinals. If the opponent's defense is not very good, the Suns, they will not burst out all at once.

Their imaginary enemy is still the Lakers, and our goal is the championship.

If he spent too much time in the previous series like last year and didn't make further progress in the end, it would still be meaningless for Yi Jian.

At the beginning of the fourth game, the scores of the two sides were relatively normal.

Yi Jian continued to restrict Stoudemire, and Richardson felt pretty good on the Sun's side, and the scores of the two teams rose alternately.

The sun still let Sefolosha go, and their trick seems to be working well.

However, after the Thunder entered the rotation ahead of time, their trick was useless.

Sefolosha doesn't feel good, but both Matthews and Dragic feel good.

Yi Jian originally planned to play the giant planet in advance if the role players were not good enough, but now it seems completely unnecessary.

After the Suns let go of a role player in the Thunder, and then tried to lock Yi Jian and Durant's defense to failure, their situation was completely messed up.

The Thunder don't need to gamble on defense, they can lock Stoudemire and Nash upright.

Richardson still has offensive power, and Hill and Barbosa on the bench can also come a few times, but they are only supplementary to the Suns' offensive end and cannot affect the overall situation.

When Yi Jian tried to restrain Stoudemire, Sun had to rely on crooked moves to deal with it. Now that crooked moves are useless, Sun doesn't know what to do for a while?
It's not that the Suns didn't consider the problem of gambling defense, but that they did it as a last resort.

After discovering that they were no match for the Thunder, the Suns could only rely on luck to win the series.

"Why do the Thunder have so many good players? Can't they let us win the home game?" Gentry couldn't figure it out.

The Suns players also couldn't figure out why a young player like the Thunder was so strong on both offense and defense.

They all tried their best, but there was still a problem on the offensive end, and they couldn't handle it on the defensive end.

It's too difficult, and the confidence of some Suns players will be destroyed.

In the second quarter, the sun's situation was even worse.

They also resumed their normal defense for a while, but Yi Jian immediately scored 5 points in a row, which stunned the Suns.

"The Thunder will definitely win the match point this time, the momentum is like a rainbow."

"Matthews' second-round pick is really a surprise. The Thunder moved to the city, and maybe the feng shui has improved, and they can always pick up leaks in the draft."

"What does it have to do with changing cities? They chose Yi Jian before they moved. This is the key to Thunderclap's success."

"The Thunder's draft is really good, and not a single pick was wasted. I'm sure, looking at the players who haven't played yet, they will eventually play."

"The sun can't stand it anymore, and now it's supported by Richardson and Hill."

"When it comes to the playoffs, it still depends on the superstars. Nash didn't succeed at his peak."

"The Suns actually feel very good this year. It can only be said that they encountered the Thunder at the historical level."

"A team that breaks historical records must be strong."

After the first half, the Thunder led by double digits.

Playing normally, they are definitely stronger than the sun. If the sun can't continue to take risks, they just need to be stable.

"Fight well, just fight like this, we can't have a losing streak." Yi Jianlang said in a loud voice.

In the locker room, a group of people were very happy, but Sefolosha was a little embarrassed.

The team played so well because he sat on the bench for a longer period of time.

Yi Jian used to comfort him and said: "Everyone has their own specialties, try to do what they are good at, and then find ways to improve. We have become the strongest team, and each of you has contributed."

Sefolosha was very moved, and Yi Jian really didn't say anything to his teammates.

Danny Green, who is still playing soy sauce, is also much more stable in his heart.

His mentality is actually good, and he has been working hard to improve, but he is a little worried that the team can't wait for him to grow.

Now that he saw Yi Jian leading everyone forward, his determination became stronger.

Just like in college, he was almost not afraid at the start, and he will definitely grow to the point where he can contribute to the stability of the team.

In the second half, Nash began to take more shots.

Nash is not afraid of taking responsibility, but a lot of time, he loses the game with more points, and his contribution to the team is not as strong as he drives the team. Over time, he has formed a cautious style of shooting.

But now the Suns can't do much. When Stoudemire is in a downturn, he can only attack.

It's just that some things do have some magic spells.

While Nash scored more himself, the efficiency of his teammates became worse and worse.

This also has a problem of habit. The Sun usually relies too much on Nash's passing.
