If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 252 Unconsciously
After Stoudemire left, the Suns didn't think they were done.

Many outside fans also believe that Stoudemire is drifting, and without Nash he is just an ordinary character.

However, Stoudemire played well in the Knicks, but the Suns failed.

Nash is powerful, but he also needs system bonuses. He has not been able to mix it up before because his own strength is not top-notch.

Without Stoudemire's impact, the Suns would be a normal offensive team.

What they brought in in the summer didn't suit the Suns' style of play at all.

The sun has regretted it and is seeking another deal.

The current sun is still strong in offense and weak in defense, but the offense is not that strong anymore.

For Thunder, the difference is not that big, after all, Stoudemire can't be arrogant in front of Yi Jian.

To be honest, the Suns started off well this time, and their integrity has become stronger.

The Suns now only have Nash as the core of their tactics. Nash's passing has no tendency, and sometimes it is more difficult to defend.

It's just that there are advantages and disadvantages in everything. The current situation of the sun is doomed that no one can really stand up at the critical moment.

They still rely on Nash, but they are almost the same as the Eagles, a team in the East, and cannot be hardened at critical moments.

Hitting the sun this time doesn't mean much.

Both the Suns and the Thunder scored in double figures with six players, and it feels like another scoring battle.

In fact, there is a difference. The sun didn't have many opportunities from beginning to end.

In the critical fourth quarter, no one from the Suns stood up, and they had to rely on the 39-year-old veteran Hill to play.

Even at his peak, Hill shouldn't be able to do Yi Jian and Durant teaming up, let alone now.

After winning the Suns, the Thunder went to the East to play back-to-back away games.

They will first meet the Bobcats. The Bobcats played very well last season, but this season started in a mess.

Their operations in the summer are very confusing. Don't want Chandler, and then sign Tyrus Thomas with a high salary to play as a substitute. Even the fans can't do this kind of operation.

As a result, their offense did not improve in the new season, but their defense was even worse.

The only gain is probably the growth of Westbrook.

The Bobcats are relatively poor, and the boss, Jordan, doesn't want to spend much money.

After becoming the team owner, Jordan has completely looked like a capitalist.

In order to develop Westbrook and save money, the Bobcats will definitely trade out some famous stars who take up salary space.

In fact, Yi Jian thinks that Westbrook is an opportunity for the Bobcats. After all, Westbrook can be regarded as a team that can be built around, even if the upper limit is not so high.

But Jordan's often mysterious operations as the boss, I don't know that he can move forward correctly.

Against the bobcats who did not attack, the thunder naturally won a big victory.

After nine consecutive victories, the Thunder failed to continue.

The team lost to the Knicks, who were in full shape. Knicks coach D'Antoni still has a little bit of skill on the offensive end. The team scored a lot of points, and a strong team at the level of the Thunder was a little helpless.

After the Knicks took Stoudemire with a high salary this season, it feels like there is a tendency to take off.

So they went to look for a second powerful All-Star, and then they found Anthony, thinking that they could soar into the sky, but Anthony and Stoudemire didn't have a chemical reaction.

When two relatively powerful endpoints are brought together, there may be some overlapping functions.

Later, Stoudemire was injured, and the Knicks became the injured party again.

It is not easy to play back-to-back away games, but fortunately, the rest of the Thunder's games in December will be at home.

This group of people can have a good year.

Yi Jian's mentality is still relatively relaxed now. Regardless of the Thunder's loss, their ranking in the West has improved again.

The Lakers became another team that fell behind, and Bynum was injured, so their record fluctuated.

Now the first record in the Western Conference, only the Spurs and Thunder are left.

"So, let's not think about how many consecutive victories we have won. Set your mind down and play every game, and keep your focus every game. In the end, everyone will find that the strongest team is the strongest team, and you can't fake it." .” Yi Jian said while communicating with his teammates.

"We just have to ask ourselves, have we improved our shortcomings and become better?"

"We must work hard to become better. The Thunder can't afford so many high salaries, but there are many positions in the entire league. Trying to become stronger will never suffer."

"Come on, come on, practice shooting. Our three-point shooting percentage is not enough, otherwise, we won't lose the game casually."

"Yes, practice shooting. We are the best team and we can't lose at will."

"Yi, don't worry, we will not slack off."

On December 12th, the Christmas game, the Thunder played against the Nuggets at home.

The Nuggets are now the third in the West.

Their main player, Anthony, is no longer thinking here, and he also missed this game due to injury.

There is no difference between the Nuggets and last season's lineup. Anthony does not play, they lack a strong end point, and they also mentioned the sixth man JR in the starting lineup.

After the game started, their offense actually played very well.

The head coach of the Nuggets, George Karl, has a good way of training offense. Without Anthony, the Nuggets have little impact in many cases, but they will lack confidence at critical moments.

No matter what the system is, the stars must stand up at the critical moment.

Although there is no Anthony, the Nuggets focus on offense and despise defense. They played against the Thunder at the beginning, and the fans were also hooked.

Durant was in high spirits and kept hitting shots.

With the Nuggets' three guards, Durant's height advantage can be fully utilized.

Yi Jian didn't compete with his younger brother for the limelight, but just kept sending out assists to allow Durant to score.

In fact, some Thunder players have noticed that it seems that receiving Yi Jian's pass feels particularly good, and the hit rate is relatively high.

They didn't think much about it, they just thought that Yi Jian's passing had improved.

They are comfortable to catch, and naturally they will be more comfortable to shoot.

"Boring game..."

Durant was very excited to play, but Yi Jian lacked interest.

The Nuggets didn't do anything in the summer, their strength was already deteriorating, and without Anthony, there was really nothing to fight.

For the Christmas battle, let Durant show off.

Yi Jian's goal this season is to lead the assists.

The achievements that have already been obtained are useless, and Yi Jian still needs some new tricks to continue to become stronger.

"It's amazing, Thunder's offense is always so thunderous."

"Yi Jian is a bit like a stroller, his strength has already returned to the basics."

"Fart, Yi Jian just didn't use his strength. Without Anthony's Nuggets, he didn't make a move."

"Hehe, it's enough to watch the Thunder, and it's the same when Anthony plays. The Thunder's ball is really good-looking."

"Don't belittle the opponent too much. The Nuggets' game is still okay. At least they played beautifully and dunked."

"The Spurs withered before. Thunder, win the game! We want to be No. [-] in the Western Conference!"
