If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 236
Russia was a little confused at the beginning, but it quickly reacted.

They began to increase the outside attack, intending to counterattack with the Chinese team.

When Yi Jian left the field, they clearly had an advantage, which also gave them a lot of confidence.

At the end of the first half, the Chinese team led by 8 points.

Russia feels that they still have great hope, because they are getting better and better.

Their head coach, David Blatt, is also at the level of a famous coach, although he will not be acclimated to the NBA later.

"We didn't estimate their strength correctly, it was my mistake, but we survived."

"We have the quality to win the game, let's show a better version of ourselves in the second half."

In the third quarter, Russia began to consume Yi Jian on both offensive and defensive ends.

They no longer simply bet on three points, but aimed at Yi Jian.

However, Blatter still underestimated Yi Jian.

Yi Jian is no longer an ordinary superstar, and normal consumption can't reap the effect within at least one game.

"Big hat on the front, Yi Jian Niubi!"

"It's too strong, and the offensive and defensive ends are directly suppressed. If Russia goes on like this, it will have trouble with the number of inside fouls."

"The take-off after the confrontation is not affected at all, truly invincible physical fitness."

"It's amazing. Yi Jian doesn't look like a giant body, but he has achieved a similar effect."

"This is the most ideal body, without losing flexibility and strength."

In the second half, Russia's targeting felt a bit self-defeating.

Yi Jian wasn't afraid of the opponent's heavy-weight insiders' offensive and defensive rounds at all. Instead, they focused most of their energy on Yi Jian and were suppressed from above.

With Wang Shipeng hitting a three-pointer after playing, the Chinese team led to double digits.

At this time, Russia just woke up like a dream, and no longer challenged Yi Jian, but looked for opportunities outside to cause damage.

The game was stalemate for a few minutes, but Russia ran out of time to chase points.

As Sun Yue made another hit from the outside, the suspense of the game was much less.

At the last moment, Russia scored two three-pointers, but it was too late, and the Chinese team won the game steadily.

David Blatt also regretted it. If they insisted on fighting outside, they might not have a chance. They still don't know the Chinese team too well.

He has never seen a player with too strong personal ability like Yi Jian in Europe. This is purely a matter of vision.

In the last game of the group stage, the Chinese team finally ran into trouble.

This trouble is called home court advantage, and Yi Jian has nothing to do about it.

Türkiye was too ruthless and directly blew several fouls on Yi Jian.

Most of the strength of the Chinese team rests on Yi Jian. Yi Jian has encountered foul trouble, but there is no solution.

Yi Jian originally planned to help the team compete for the first place in the group and avoid the United States, but now it seems that there is no way.

The home court advantage of the host is too ruthless, and the opponent also has NBA players such as Turkoglu and Ilyasova. The overall strength of the Chinese team is still a bit weak.

If they were stronger, the result would be different, but there is no if.

In the end, the Chinese team qualified second in the group and played against New Zealand, which was third in Group D.

In Group D, because Spain did not send the strongest lineup, Lithuania outshone others. The other three teams had the same record.

In fact, New Zealand's strength is not outstanding.

On September 9, the knockout stage of the Chinese team started.

In the first game, Yi Jian scored 34 points and 18 rebounds, blasting New Zealand's insiders and helping the national team enter the quarterfinals.

But then their opponent was the US team. This was a grouping problem, and Yi Jian had no choice.

So, next, the fans saw the Thunder's two All-Stars, who were also the starters of the Western Conference All-Stars.

Durant scored 35 points, and Yi Jian scored 50 points.

In the first half, the Chinese team still maintained the lead, but the other positions in the second half were really unable to hold it.

With the rapid decline in physical strength, the team couldn't grasp the open three-pointer outside, Yi Jian was really hard to beat with two fists and four hands.

Durant was very excited after the game, the feeling of leading the team to defeat Yi Jian is so unique.

Yi Jian also sighed a little. In fact, they were only a little short of winning the US team in the end.

At the last moment, the Chinese team failed to grasp several opportunities from outside.

After the game, he said: "This game was very intense, and I saw the improvement of the team. But at the same time, I saw the room for improvement of the national team. As long as we are stronger, we can beat the US team."

"Moreover, we don't need to be very talented. As long as our shooting is more accurate and our physical strength is better, the result of the game may be different. In fact, we can improve shooting and physical strength through exercise."

"I hope domestic players can become stronger and stronger. Of course, the game is not over yet, and we will continue to work hard."

Next, the Chinese team will play a ranking match, and they will first face Argentina, who failed to advance to Group A.

Argentina did not come with the strongest lineup, Ginobili and others did not come, this time it was Scola who led the team.

However, they still have a lot of NBA players, as well as Delfino, Prigioni, Oberto and others.

The strength of this Argentine team is also very good now, and the Chinese team is very difficult to play.

Fortunately, their strongest point, Scola will be restricted by Yi Jian.

Argentina lost to Lithuania, Scola was restricted.

"Remember, you must make a three-pointer." Yi Jian told the others.

Many strong teams other than the US team are sharp three-pointers, so they must be limited with all their strength.

On the contrary, the overall strength of the US team is too strong, and they don't pay much attention to three-pointers.

If you are hit by an opponent with a three-pointer, it may be harder than playing against the US team.

After all, the U.S. team is really not strong this year, and the Chinese team lost because they didn't seize the opportunity.

As for other strong teams, they fight much harder than the US team, so they must be very focused.

In fact, at this time, the physical strength of the national team has been affected to some extent, and the consumption of the cup is really not small.

However, Yi Jian still maintains his physical strength, and he was tired from playing in the United States.

With his current physical strength, it is still no problem to explode three or four games in a row.

After the start of the game, the Chinese team has always started to grab the start.

Relying on Yi Jian's personal ability to grab the start, the Chinese team has used it many times, and many opponents have been tricked.

But the essence of human beings is a repeater. If you don't get fooled once, you can't formally ask questions.

Yi Jian was very strong on the offensive end when he came up. After Argentina reacted, it was already behind.

Moreover, they played very quickly, how good Yi Jian's defense is.

He has been sticking to Scola, even if it is a pick-and-roll tactic, he can hold the defensive position in time without changing players.

Don't ask, asking is fast and powerful.

Scola also tried singles with footsteps, but Yi Jian didn't care about his fake moves at all. As long as he really wanted to shoot, Yi Jian would rely on the extremely strong speed of bullets to interfere.

Scola has no way at all, and he can't grab rebounds.
