If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 255 Continuous Battle
"Brothers, do you feel that someone wants to challenge us again. Show them some fighting power of a strong team!" Yi Jianlang said in a loud voice.

Thunder players still need to be stimulated frequently.

After the rising team wins the championship, even if they keep reminding themselves, they will drift.

Yi Jian is not interested in many teams now, and others have begun to have the pride of a strong team.

At this time, they need to remind each other that they must continue to be hungry.

At the end of the first half, Gay, who was playing uncomfortable for a while, hit the buzzer.

But it doesn't matter, now the Thunder is leading.

During the intermission, Yi Jian was also quite interested in studying the current Grizzlies.

He is not the kind of researcher who faces a strong team in order to defeat the opponent, but stands at a higher position to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the opponent's tactics.

The Grizzlies are on defense now, but they still have the foundation to attack.

In fact, the Grizzlies' tactics are team-oriented, but their two strengths are not team players.

Both Gay and Randolph are finishers, and it's hard to get the ball out of their hands, so the Grizzlies say it's not a pure team offense, but neither is it a star offense.

It's not that the Grizzlies' stars are unwilling to play as a team, it's just that they really don't have that awareness.

In this case, Conley's organizational skills are more suitable for the team.

In a way, Conley is also a top tool guard like Lowry.

But Lowry is stronger and more resistant at the back line.

In the second half, the Grizzlies' defense became tighter.

Tony Allen and Gasol Jr., one inside and one outside, built the Grizzlies' defensive system.

Just relying on a good defensive system can't lock up superstars.

The Thunder still have two, which is very distressing for their opponents.

In addition, the Thunder's defense is also good, and they also improved their defensive strength in the third quarter.

When the offense of both sides is more difficult than before, the superstars of ordinary stars and superstars are reflected.

Conley and Randolph can't score like before, but Yi Jian and Durant are not much different.

Defense seems to be useless in front of a star of Yi Jian's level.

In fact, it is still useful, and Yi Jian also feels that it consumes more.

It's just that the Grizzlies can't achieve the desired results when Yi Jian consumes more.

The Grizzlies are still slightly weaker.

At the end of the quarter, the Grizzlies saw that the situation was not right, so they changed their tactics and attacked with all members.

It's just that both Gay and Randolph are a bit unable to attack.

They used the method of comparing teams. The stars created opportunities for role players, and Conley saw the right time to pass the ball.

They played okay, Tony Allen also hit a three-pointer.

But just one note, the Thunder's defense is not a display.

Under Yi Jian's advice, the Thunder is now the best team in defending three-pointers.

The players have developed habits, and new players will also be brought into good habits.

With Yi Jian and Lowry standing on the free throw line at the last moment, the game came to an end.

The Grizzlies have actually fought against the Thunder for a long time, and they actually have a chance depending on the score.

It's just the difference in the team's handling of the ball and efficiency at the critical moment that determines the outcome.

After taking down the Grizzlies, the Thunder came to Dallas again.

Consecutive away games are against strong teams in the Western Conference. The Spurs and Mavericks are still in the top four in the Western Conference. The Thunder are not easy.

It's just that the Mavericks have changed, and Butler is injured.

No matter how much Butler's effect on the Mavericks is, the Mavericks will definitely be affected if the lineup changes.

For the team to compete for the championship, in addition to having a strong enough lineup, it also needs to be healthy.

The Mavericks look a bit unlucky now, but they can still bear Butler's injury.

Now it feels like they are going to rise again. The aggressive Spurs may not be able to bear it once they get injured.

The Spurs are now cooking oil, which is actually a bit too much.

It's not the Spurs' style for Ginobili to start the regular season.

They are now betting that the old Spurs can hold on and fight for a championship.

People with open sky eyes like Yi Jian are well aware of the current weakness of the Spurs.

The Mavericks started the game directly with Terry, which is also a quick start.

The Thunder didn't fight as hard as the opponent started, they were not in such a hurry.

Sure enough, because of the changes in the lineup, the Mavericks' offensive did not last that long.

After Terry started, the Mavericks' bench lacked some firepower.

Barea is not bad, but still a lot worse than Terry.

From the rotation period, the momentum of the Mavericks began to turn from prosperity to decline.

They worked hard and hoped to win the Thunder.

Unfortunately, this is all in vain.

Yi Jian and Durant's offensive power is too stable.

The entire Thunder team is too stable on the defensive end.

In the first half, the Mavericks still barely bit the score.

But the intensity continued to increase in the third quarter, and the Mavericks disappeared all of a sudden.

They exerted too much force in the first quarter and failed to suppress the Thunder, and now they are backlashed.

Athletes must have no problem playing a game, but if the intensity is too high, the consumption may not last.

Especially against a strong team like the Thunder, as long as the Mavericks' players are a little tired and have some problems, the game will not last.

In a duel between strong teams, if one side cannot maintain a high level, the result is doomed.

The Mavericks were also taken down by the Thunder.

The Thunder's road trip this time is not bad, it's okay to maintain the second place in the Western Conference for the time being.

If the Spurs are willing to compete for regular season results, then come and see if the age of GDP can support it.

Moreover, it is good to let the Spurs be proud for a while, otherwise they may lie flat in the regular season when they see that the situation is not right. The Spurs have not done similar things anyway.

Now give the Spurs a little sweetness, let them consume more in the regular season, and they will not have much threat in the playoffs.

After killing the incomplete calf, Yi Jian also sighed a little.

In fact, he still hasn't figured out the strength of the Mavericks. The Mavericks in the playoffs in his memory are still completely different from the current Mavericks.

It's not that I'm worried, it's just a pity.

Know yourself and the enemy, and win a hundred battles without danger, this is Yi Jian's goal.

The current situation is actually good. Thunder will improve itself more and improve its strength.

In that case, no matter what kind of opponents they encounter in the playoffs, they will be able to fight.

The Thunder's January schedule has a lot of away games. Fortunately, there are not many back-to-back games, and they are not too dense.

Now their lineup is very stable, and Yi Jian can't wait to prepare for the playoffs.

It's not that he is too floating, it's just that the NBA's competition system is destined to make the playoffs more exciting.

"It's an away game at this time, and the weather is not so good, let's get through this time." Yi Jian sighed.

After returning to the home court, the Thunder will have back-to-back after one game.

The beginning of January is still a bit difficult, so we must persevere.

The Thunder players also gathered for a while, relaxed a little and moved on.
