If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 217 Helpless
"Concentrate and do a good job of defending. The game time is not much, just hold on." Yi Jian applauded.

The fans at the scene were very excited. They were about to see the team beat the Lakers. Compared with other opponents, the significance of their victory over the Lakers in the playoffs was definitely different.

In a year's time, the strengths and weaknesses of both sides have changed.

The Thunder can't be said to be able to beat the Lakers, but they are indeed the dominant side.

The record in the regular season is not the same as in the playoffs, but it is obviously different for the Thunder to have a record in history.

The Lakers' strategy this time was to let Yi Jian score by himself, or they didn't choose to stop Yi Jian after seeing Yi Jian's burst, but it seems to have failed now.

When Yi Jian beat Odom down, he had already scored 40+.

Yi Jian didn't break out like this when he encountered the Sun who had a relatively weak defense before.

Now the fans have confirmed that as long as Yi Jian wants to, he will become the scoring champion again.

Finally, the Thunder's lead came to double digits.

Kobe Bryant missed two three-pointers, and the momentum of the Lakers has dropped.

When the time came to the last minute or so, Artest finally hit a three-pointer, but it was too late.

And then Yi Jian scored again, helping the team stabilize the lead.

The Lakers can't manage so much at this time, so they can only work hard.

When the time came to the last minute, Kobe saw that there was no chance beyond the three-point line, so he rushed in and scored two points.

This is also due to the fact that the Thunder are now mainly defending three-pointers, and they are not so crazy about attacking Kobe.

"50 points, Yi Jian scored 50 points!"

"Ignoring the defensive three-pointer, Yi Jian sealed the victory!"

The commentator couldn't help yelling loudly, Yi Jian's shot was very exciting just now, he threw the ball as soon as he caught it, beating the opponent.

He hasn't activated his skills yet, he just feels like raising his hand when the ball comes.

At the last moment, the Lakers replaced Bynum again.

They shot three-pointers in a row. Although Shannon Brown, who came off the bench at the last moment, made another hit, it was meaningless.

The Thunder won the game strongly at 121:108. Yi Jian scored 50 points and 14 rebounds, showing his determination to lead the team to win the Lakers with a strong performance.

The Western Conference champion, he's decided.

Yi Jian said in an interview after the game: "I just want to play aggressively and enter the rhythm I am familiar with. Seize the opportunity to jump shot, seize the opportunity to break through to the basket, and keep sending the ball into the basket."

"It's not about revenge, I'm just pursuing victory, whether it's against the Lakers or other teams."

Head coach Brooks also talked about Yi Jian's outbreak. He said: "I am not surprised. He has always been full of confidence. He has been training hard before the series to make himself better. He is fully prepared. Tonight he Assuming the offensive responsibility of the team, it can be said to carry the team on his shoulders."

The opposing head coach Phil Jackson said: "They played very well. This is their best game in the playoffs this season. Yi Jian dominated the game. Regarding his similar performance, I originally thought that the team able to bear it."

"But it's just the first game, and we think we're going to get better and better."

Kobe also said: "We don't need to be downcast, as if we can't win the second game at all. We must play better. This way we will have a chance to win the second game."

Now in the West, the Thunder and the Lakers are also the two most popular teams.

They met again, and the league was very happy, and the media kept making comments.

Many media have criticized the Lakers' defense, which seems to make sense, but in fact they are just hindsight. If the result of the game is different, they can immediately come up with completely opposite arguments.

In fact, Yi Jian and Kobe's performances in this game are somewhat similar.

However, winning and losing, leading the team to victory, Yi Jian is undoubtedly the better player.

The second game will start soon, but the fans can't wait.

The season has come to the end now, there are not so many games, and the fans can't wait for a day.

When the game between the Thunder and the Lakers came, basketball dreams all over the world basically stayed in front of the live broadcast.

Some fans who are working and unable to watch the live video will also find opportunities to follow the text live broadcast.

The fierceness and excitement of the playoffs is also the best opportunity to gain fans.

For a top star like Yi Jian, it is definitely money and honor.

Both sides are the original starters, the strong team's starters are relatively stable, and there is not much room for adjustment.

And there is no need, everyone has already thought about the lineup to use before the series.

It may be that they have learned from the experience of losing in the last game. At the beginning of this game, the Lakers attached great importance to defense, and Kobe did not directly turn on the scoring mode.

Fans may be familiar with this change of Kobe.

If he loses, Kobe is likely to be like this. If he loses more points before, he will organize first, and if he loses less points before, he will directly start the scoring mode.

Kobe's adjustment is so simple and clear.

But as a superstar, even if his opponent finds out about his adjustments, sometimes he can't make the right response in the first place.

After all, defense often seeks stability, and will not change too much just because he has signs of adjustment.

Facing superstars, any team will be more cautious.

The Lakers have done a good job defensively, mainly against Yi Jian.

They don't expect Bynum's help defense anymore, but let Gasol do his best to prevent Yi Jian from receiving the ball, and then try to block the space as much as possible to prevent Yi Jian from entering.

Unfortunately, this degree is still a bit difficult to grasp.

Gasol, who had no fouls in the first game, fouled twice because of defending Yi Jian in half a quarter.

Odom came up and defended with the same defense, but it just didn't work as well.

Defensively, Odom is almost meaningless.

But the Lakers didn't dare to let Gasol come up and continue to entangle with Yi Jian. They were worried that Gasol would have foul problems, and the Lakers' offensive end is now indispensable.

Odom may be able to replace him in the regular season, but he really can't in the playoffs.

In a strong duel, the players on the field may be slightly worse, and the final result will be much worse.

Therefore, the Lakers chose to let Bynum play less, after all, he couldn't follow Yi Jian to the three-point line.

The one who was injured was always Bynum, and the Lakers really didn't think much of him, so after getting an All-Star in the back, the Lakers quickly traded him.

The current Bynum doesn't say it's bad, but it's a bit tasteless, bullying, and often has magical operations.

It's just that no matter how the Lakers operate now, they can't change the reality that they suffer from inside.

The Lakers' inside lineup is also at the forefront of the league. Most of the time they bully others, but they can't help it when they encounter the Thunder.
