If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 235 Advantages and Disadvantages

"Prevent him, we must guard against him..."

"Push him out, don't let him rush for rebounds...strengthen physical confrontation and consume him..."

"I said that Yi Jian is difficult to deal with, so you should work harder."

"Hey, I don't want to, but I really tried my best, this person is a monster!"

There was nothing they could do about Yi Jian, and the mentality of the players in Puerto Rico collapsed a bit.

Puerto Rico is actually not weak, but their style of play is too tactile and easy to overturn.

Now that there is a problem with the mentality, the hand feeling naturally fluctuates.

In the last few minutes of the first half, Yi Jian went to the fifth position. The Chinese team stepped up, played several beautiful counterattacks in a row, and entered the intermission with the lead.

"They are betting on three points, so we must pay attention to defensive skills." Yi Jian returned to the locker room and said.

He is now used to summing up at halftime, which is the same in the Thunder and the national team.

Only by improving the details of the first half can we play better in the second half. Playing also requires brains.

You can't beat your head with your head covered, you don't know what is right and what is wrong, it's just a waste of energy.

Now that the group stage has reached the third game, there is still no team to resolutely double-team Yi Jian, and Yi Jian is also secretly happy.

It's best if all his teammates are like this, so he can guarantee his performance all the way, which is still very helpful to the team.

In the second half, Yi Jian scored from the outside again. Puerto Rico couldn't defend at all. They had no choice but to choose flanking attack. As a result, Yi Jian scored the ball and Sun Yue scored two three-pointers in a row. The opponent's mentality collapsed instantly.

The Chinese team pursued the victory and got a double-digit advantage.

After a timeout, Puerto Rico rallied for a few minutes.

The main reason is that the Chinese team suddenly missed several open positions, and this kind of time hurts the most.

The perimeter of the national team is still not stable enough.

Yi Jian didn't complain either, and directly started the individual scoring mode.

He asked his teammates to hang the inside line, and after receiving the ball, he made a strong move, and made a foul on the opponent's two inside lines.

"Invincible! It's unimaginable, it's just tough..."

"Yi Jian's body is too strong, but it doesn't affect his speed. His unsolvable explosive power is stronger than the peak Stoudemire."

"Yi Jian's outburst has always been at the level of a strong backcourt, which is fundamentally different from other insiders."

"The two of them can't control it at all. Yi Jian is a sharpshooter on the outside, but he looks like O'Neill on the inside."

"It's a combination of flexible O'Neill and the upgrade of Nowitzki. It's invincible anyway."

The players in Puerto Rico are now just like the fans watching the live broadcast, only feeling outrageous.

We are all professional athletes, is there such a big gap?
At this time, the score has not yet been fully opened, and Puerto Rico still has more points.

But in the final quarter, Yi Jian scored 5 points in a row, and then Liu Wei and Zhu Fangyu hit three-pointers successively, and the game was finally settled.

After the game, Puerto Rico coach Snito also said helplessly: "We didn't play our best basketball."

After the Chinese team won this game, they have already qualified 100% ahead of schedule. Yi Jian also said: "Our attitude will not change in the next game. We will do our best to win every game and strive to improve ourselves."

"In this World Championships, in addition to competing for good results, our biggest goal is to improve our strength. We need to find the gap between ourselves and the world's top teams, and then approach them step by step."

Yi Jian led the team alone and achieved good results in the international arena, and he also received a lot of blessings.

He is also very happy, but his mentality has not changed much in general.

After all, he has already stood in a relatively high field in the professional circle. He knows what he needs. He will not be satisfied with a little achievement, and he will not be discouraged when he encounters setbacks.

Helping the national team improve its strength will be a long-term process, and Yi Jian will not be in a hurry.

Without rest, Yi Jian will lead the team against Russia next.

Russia still has insiders. Their starting lineup is Cowen, who was drafted by the NBA but has not yet passed, and Mozkov, who is about to go to the NBA and will be able to get a big contract in the future, is on the bench.

It's just that Russia's stronger offensive power is still outside, even if Kirilenko hasn't come yet.

In fact, most European teams are like this. Even if they have an inside line, it is more of a restraint effect, and the combination of inside and outside is more outside.

In this regard, in fact, European basketball is much more advanced than Asian basketball, and their tactics are also to make more use of court space and play higher efficiency.

However, although Russia has an inside line, the Chinese team still has an inside line advantage.

Because the opponent's inside movement is not fast, and they don't have their projection.

The Chinese team's current style of play, because the two insiders have three-point capabilities, except that the guard's offensive power is not so strong, and the tactics are a bit futuristic.

The main reason is that Yi Jian has changed the temperament of the national team. If he didn't have the skills of three-pointers and card dealers, the national team would definitely still play a combination of inside and outside. Now he and the general are fighting on the periphery, and any opponent's defensive system will be challenged .

Russia was obviously a little uncomfortable at the beginning, and the Chinese team took advantage of their shooting to hit consecutive shots from the outside and easily took the lead.

Facing the Chinese team, the inside line must be able to defend.

Teams with weak inside lines before did not encounter this problem, because many of their inside lines were not pure inside lines and could be defended.

But Russia has a few pure white bears in the restricted area, and they are a little at a loss.

Before meeting the Chinese team, Russia was the only team in the group that could fight the Chinese team in the interior, because they also used the interior to bully other opponents before.

Although the inside scoring ability is not that strong, it also created enough opportunities for the team outside to help the team win.

Before the game, they hoped that the inside line could block Yi Jian, and then rely on the outside line advantage to win the Chinese team.

Unexpectedly, at the beginning of the game, I found that everyone had different styles of painting.

Yi Jian catches the ball outside the three-point line, and it is difficult for Russia to consume it.

They have studied the game video of the Chinese team. Of course they know that Yi Jian can shoot three-pointers, but only when they really match up can they know how fast Yi Jian's footsteps are, and the defensive strategy they formulated before the game is useless.

For opponents who have never played against each other, it is too easy to deviate based on the video.

However, the Chinese team is still an old problem, and the strength of the teams varies greatly.

This is related to the situation in the league. Most of the CBA teams are mainly foreign players. This has led to the fact that most of the members of the national team also play support in the club, and naturally lack offensive ability.

Although Wang Shipeng can play on the bench now, compared with other teams, there is obviously a gap.

Yi Jian reckoned that when it came to the knockout round, he would probably win the entire field.

However, due to the intensive cup competitions, it is impossible for him to top all the time.
