If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 248 Verification
In the Mavericks game, at the critical moment, most of the offensive end depends on Dirk Nowitzki, the other half depends on Terry, and the rest is divided by the other three players.

As a top sixth man, Terry feels difficult to defend, but a good defensive team can still handle it.

Nowitzki basically has no solution, but it happens that Yi Jian can still put pressure on the opponent.

In fact, the Thunder still has a defensive method, that is, Yi Jian does not follow out, and the outside line pinches Nowitzki, and Yi Jian handles the inside line alone.

In that way, the Thunder can have an extra wing, which is their ultimate defensive method, but no team can push them to that extent yet.

This game must be Yi Jian vs. Nowitzki, try the depth.

I don't know why, Nowitzki feels different at the end of the quarter.

It may be the pressure brought by the superstar to the defense, but Nowitzki himself has become more decisive.

Facing Yi Jian's defensive interference, Nowitzki shot directly.

Brushing a hollow, Yi Jian said something beautiful in his heart.

Under his defense, he can also make perfect shots, which can be done by very few players in the entire league.

Nowitzki was one of the few, and Yi Jian's attention became more concentrated.

First, of course, is a direct response.

When it was Thunder's turn to attack, Yi Jian caught the ball and shot Nowitzki.

Quiet!

That's the way the stars compete with each other. No one on the court is convinced, and they can still respond.

Failure to respond is unilateral abuse.

Where Yi Jian really excels is on the defensive end.

As long as he can give Nowitzki [-] to [-] percent of the pressure on the defensive end, and Nowitzki can only give him [-] percent of the pressure, the Thunder can find opportunities to gain an advantage.

He's better than Nowitzki than his teammates.

So even if they meet the god-level Nowitzki, the Thunder will still have a better chance of winning.

What Yi Jian has to do is, if the single defense is not good enough, in order to win, that is to attack, it doesn't matter what face.

Nowitzki felt good today, and soon caught the ball from outside the three-point line to face Yi Jian.

Nowitzki stayed still and made a fake move, which was not realistic, but it depended on who was doing it.

No matter what moves Nowitzki makes, the defensive players will respond, because he can really hit the shot.

If the strength is not enough, no one will pay attention to the fake moves no matter how realistic they are.

Nowitzki's speed is not fast, but it is not easy to defend him.

The main thing is that he can shoot directly, because the height is only a little interference and has no effect, but if the defensive reaction is strong, Nowitzki can also break through or draw fouls.

Nowitzki staggered to kill inside, it didn't look like much, but it was actually very stable.

Yi Jian's defense against players of this level was mainly interference.

You have to make sure that the opponent is really shooting, and then you will go all out to block the shot.

Sometimes, it's more about putting pressure on the opponent and blocking some of the opponent's shooting lines.

If the psychological quality and technology are extremely good, you can ignore it.

At that time, it is necessary to gamble and judge.

Nowitzki made a fake shot, followed by a tentative step, and then shot directly.

Yi Jian jumped a little slower, and the basketball flew past his fingertips.

The goal is scored, and the three-pointer is also scored.

It seems that Nowitzki feels very good today, and the defense needs to be more aggressive.

Make it tighter and don't give the other party room to make moves.

Or jump directly after making a judgment, anyway, Yi Jian's second take-off speed is also very fast.

Even if Nowitzki passes by, his speed has a chance to catch up again.

You can also trust your teammates' defense. There are many ways to keep an eye on the opponent's key combat power. Which one to choose depends on the specific situation, and you must communicate with your teammates at any time.

Yi Jian clapped his hands directly this time, then smiled and asked the ball to advance directly.

The Mavericks now keep Chandler on the field, plus Marion is going to stare at Durant, and Nowitzki is still the main defense against Yi Jian.

The Mavericks is also an attempt. Depending on the situation, it is normal for Nowitzki and Marion to switch defenses, or to switch with others. It is also possible that Nowitzki does not undertake defensive tasks.

Now it's the regular season, Yi Jian and Nowitzki are facing each other, and the Mavericks are not in a hurry.

Yi Jian was confirming the situation, and Mavericks had the same mentality.

The Thunder are the defending champions, and the Mavericks are actually more tentative.

Nowitzki defended the past and was very focused.

Yi Jian holds the ball directly on the outside, and doesn't want to pick and roll, and wipes it inside when he suddenly changes direction.

Nowitzki couldn't keep up with the speed, but he tried his best to keep up.

Chandler on the inside is ready to assist in the defense.

Unexpectedly, Yi Jian forcibly stopped his figure, took a quick step back, and shot directly from outside the three-point line.

Only then did Nowitzki realize that he had considered that Yi Jian might return a three-pointer before defending him. However, when Yi Jian was holding the ball and going inside, Nowitzki subconsciously followed because he was too focused.

Any action of the superstar will cause the reaction of the defensive players, and of course it can be placed on Yi Jian.

The two confronted each other like this, but the Thunder was already in the lead, and Nowitzki had to bear even more pressure.

In the last 5 minutes, Nowitzki did not shoot so decisively.

It takes enough confidence to dare to shoot unscrupulously after hitting the iron like Kobe.

Nowitzki was more cautious, wanting the whole team to attack and look for opportunities to reverse the game.

He had already felt Yi Jian's strength clearly, but he didn't expect that the outcome of the match would depend on it.

Mavericks also began to try hard at other points, but the efficiency was average.

The Thunder are different. Durant's shooting percentage at critical moments is not bad.

In the last 2 minutes, the Mavericks were still behind, and they were finally in a hurry.

The rest of them didn't dare to come casually, and the ball returned to Nowitzki's hands.

Nowitzki hit two points again, but unfortunately not enough.

Then he shot from the three-point line, but this time he missed.

He also hit Yi Jian's defensive three-pointer before, but unfortunately not every time.

Yi Jian's oppressiveness on the defensive end is very powerful.

Nowitzki confronted Yi Jian both offensively and defensively in the fourth quarter, and the consumption was already great.

When threes are missed, the game is almost over.

Although the Mavericks struggled with foul tactics at the last moment, they were finally powerless.

In the battle between strong teams, one should never expect a small probability to happen.

Of course, to put it another way, in the contest between strong teams, you have to gamble for the chance of winning, no matter how small.

The Thunder won the game, and Yi Jian performed well with 30 points and 12 assists.

It is normal for the outside world, the Thunder is better than the Mavericks.

Only Yi Jian knew the value of this game, and he verified some ideas.

After meeting Mavericks again, he will continue to verify.

He will figure out his opponents in the playoffs one by one.

The Thunder will not give any team a chance.
