If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 254 Opponents

"Marion went down, Kidd passed the ball beautifully, and Marion started straight away... handsome! Yi Jian hated Marion. Don't challenge Yi Jian lightly, Yi Jian is the ruler of the penalty area."

"Yi Jian's rebound directly knocked Chandler away in the air. Yi Jian's physical fitness is really outstanding."

"Excellent steal, Yi Jian is in a very good state today, he is omnipotent."

"The Mavericks blocked the wave, but their shooting percentage from the outside started to drop."

"The Mavericks are working harder and harder on the defensive end, but they are also consuming a lot. The third center has been sent inside."

The Mavericks made a lot of fouls inside the bench, but Chandler still held on.

However, Chandler has no threat to Yi Jian.

Entering the final quarter, although the Thunder did not lead by much, they were still above 5 points.

Yi Jian took strict precautions against Nowitzki and never gave his opponent a chance. ,

At the last moment, Nowitzki had some problems with his physical strength, and his knee was a little sprained, so he had to leave the game early.

The Mavericks' offense suddenly stagnated, and the Thunder won the game steadily.

Two days later, the Thunder played against the Nets at home and won easily.

At the last moment of 2010, the Thunder suffered another back-to-back.

At the end of December, they ushered in the challenge of the Eagles.

The Eagles' record in the East is not bad, but they still haven't squeezed into the first team.

The Hawks' lineup is still the same, basically unchanged from last season.

They think they have improved, but in fact, like the Nuggets, they stand still as long as they are pulled down.

The changes in the Eagles are most likely related to the change of the head coach.

The new head coach Drew has become a strong contender in the East because the team has improved some defenses.

As a result, the defense has not been fully practiced, but the offense is regressing, so it is impossible to squeeze into the first group.

After the game started, Yi Jian felt that there was something wrong with the Eagles' offense, and their main lineup was completely suppressed by the Thunder.

However, entering the rotation period, Crawford, the ruthless sixth man, helped the team regain some disadvantages.

Typical sixth-man players have some advantages, that is, they don't follow the tactics completely. When they feel bad, they will indeed hurt the team, but when they feel good, they can break through the team's limitations and give the team another possibility.

During the rotation period, Crawford played various singles, which was very difficult to guard against.

If the opponent doesn't come in, it will be difficult for Yi Jian to help defend.

But don't worry about this situation. It is difficult to be efficient all the time in singles with various shots from the outside.

As long as the Thunder defend well, they can wait for the opportunity to counterattack.

In fact, the Thunder's bench lineup is also playing well, but the scoring is not so strong.

When the main players returned, they once again controlled the rhythm.

After the first half, they still led by double digits.

Under normal circumstances, the gap in strength between the two teams cannot be made up by relying on an X factor.

In the third quarter, Joe Johnson wanted to show off, but he didn't succeed.

The Eagles have now reduced their singles, and Joe Johnson sometimes can't find the feeling, very inefficient.

In the second half, Crawford didn't feel good.

Players like the Sixth Man Nerve Knife are a double-edged sword after all.

Soon after the start of the final quarter, the Thunder expanded their lead and they won the game.

You can't celebrate the New Year without playing games.

Fortunately, Yi Jian didn't care so much about the Gregorian New Year. Unlike other people who were a little depressed, there were competitions during Christmas and New Year, and he didn't have time to get together with his family.

Maybe it's because the nature of back-to-back away games at this time is not high. Everyone in the Thunder is not in good shape and lost to the Spurs.

The Spurs team feels really good now, and has occupied the No. [-] in the Western Conference for a long time.

After Ginobili started, the Spurs' ability to grab the start was much stronger.

Yi Jian doesn't know if history will still be the way he remembered it, and if the Spurs will only play soy sauce in the playoffs this season.

But he has decided that the next time he meets the Spurs, he will try his best to explode.

The Spurs will only have a game three days later, and the Thunder can make good adjustments during the New Year, but it will still be an away game in the West, so we should not take it lightly.

On January 1, the Thunder played away against the Grizzlies.

In fact, the Grizzlies lineup has not changed much, but the feeling is completely different.

Without changing the head coach, they changed from offensive basketball to defensive basketball, and their temperament was changed instantly.

And they made a small signing, took Tony Allen, and made up for the needs of defensive basketball.

At the same time, they saw Mayo's weak link, and no longer focused on training, but regarded him as the sixth man.

With such a change, the young grizzly came alive instantly.

They have manpower from the main force to the substitute.

Their temporary problem may be that they don't have a strong leader.

Gay is really inferior, whether in terms of ability or other aspects.

It is not surprising that the Grizzlies will give up Gay in the future. Their two insiders, including Conley on the outside, are no worse than Gay.

If the Grizzlies want to go further, they actually need a stronger star, but unfortunately they can't.

After the game started, the Grizzlies played well.

The main reason is that Guy performed well. When this buddy is strong, he is really strong, a bit like a powerful All-Star.

But he can only pull out, is not stable, and can't even be an All-Star.

Gay is the top of the quasi-all-stars, mainly because of the large fluctuations. In fact, it is more difficult to deal with than those weak all-stars.

When Gay goes crazy, the Grizzlies will definitely play comfortably.

Randolph is also good. Randolph is also one of the few players in the league who can rely on his weight and strength to fight against Yi Jian, but he can't defend against him, and his height is also a bit short, so he still suffers from a confrontation with Yi Jian.

But if it is a pure insider, it will be really uncomfortable for Randolph.

Randolph is now at his peak, combining physical fitness and experience.

The Grizzlies started with an advantage and gave them a lot of confidence.

It is not so easy for them to make changes this season.

But after seeing the results, the encouragement to the players is still very great.

It's just that the Grizzlies' offense, whether it's Gay or Randolph, is not stable enough.

As the game progressed, the Thunder gradually showed a stronger background.

During the rotation period, the Thunder performed better.

There are also injuries. Mayo did not play this time due to injury.

In the second quarter, Gay's shooting percentage dropped, and the Thunder gradually turned to the guest.

This is the case with strong teams. Other teams may suppress strong teams with high efficiency, but if they cannot maintain stability, strong teams will find opportunities to reverse the situation.

It will be more difficult for a team like the Grizzlies to bring the situation back.

The Grizzlies were not reconciled to being controlled by the Thunder in this way, and they also showed a desperate momentum.

They showed the momentum of the playoffs and began to play the main force.

"Be more focused, the Thunder is not invincible."

"We've done a good job ahead, keep going...we're going to be aggressive."
