If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 264
"I think we are fully capable of becoming the All-Star starters, and the fans' vision is very good." Yi Jian answered the reporter's question.

"We are the defending champions. Our record is the first in the league. It is not surprising that three All-Stars start. The best team, the best players, in fact, even if five All-Stars start, we are worth it."

Yi Jian's firm answer also caused some controversy, but it's really nothing. The Thunder is so strong, the others must be a little upset.

They don't have any celebrities, and there must be many people from other teams. Players, celebrities, and experts are all messed up.

This is normal, and the competitive circles are naturally dissatisfied with each other.

Even if you know they are strong, you can't admit it in face.

As for some people saying that Yi Jian is not modest, it's not good to say that, Yi Jian doesn't bother to talk about it.

Such a person, even if he is a fan, it is best to follow others.

He is a Thunder player and will only support his own team now.

On February 2, the Thunder came to Phoenix.

The Suns' record is not good now, and none of the top eight in the Western Conference can make it, but they are still struggling.

In fact, it's not interesting, the sun just doesn't want to spend money.

When Nash first came, the Suns had an excellent lineup, with top stars and outstanding young people.

In order to save money, they first sent away Joe Johnson, and then sent away Marion. The head coach was also poached, and now finally Stoudemire can't keep it.

They save money and get good results many times.

If the boss had been more courageous, they might have already entered the finals.

The current sun is only supported by the old Nash. The days when Nash led the sun to rise are coming to an end.

The current Suns still have some strength on the offensive end.

They continue to fast-pace. As long as they feel good, a defensive team like the Thunder will not be able to organize a strong enough defense in time. If the defense is not well arranged, the Suns will be finished.

If they fight like this, they will definitely have a chance of being upset.

But entering the playoffs, they will definitely not be able to win the series. It is difficult for their players to continue to be in good form. Of course, they will not be able to enter the playoffs this season.

After the start of the game, the Suns' new aid Carter was in excellent form, and they played very good offensive basketball.

It's just that Carter is 34 years old, and the peak is long gone.

He can still beat a lot of people, but he can no longer be the protagonist of the game.

He feels good now and can throw it for a while, but at the critical moment he has no ability to help the team.

As for Nash, who is already 37 years old, he is powerless in many cases.

The Suns felt good in the first quarter and played well.

But the second quarter was completely suppressed by the Thunder, because his defense was so poor.

None of their five positions can defend against the Thunder's attack.

Yi Jian did a good job of assisting again, sending out 17 assists and scoring a triple-double.

The Thunder's second back-to-back away opponent is the Jazz, but the Jazz is in a lot of situations now.

The team boss Deron had a conflict with the team's meritorious coach Sloan, which caused Sloan to leave in frustration.

At the beginning, Sloan was very optimistic about Deron, and he didn't look down on Paul at all. It took the Jazz several first rounds to get the draft pick and get Deron.

As a result, Deron did not agree with the coach.

The head coach and the team leader are in conflict, and the team is more likely to be the team leader.

After all, no matter how strong the head coach is, it is not as important as the stars. Stars are the foundation of a strong team.

But the team's meritorious coaches are different. They have coached the team for many years and have a great influence on the team's decision-making.

For example, if Popovich has a conflict with the star, the star must be sent away.

It's just that Sloan was chilled and chose to leave directly.

The Jazz is helpless now that they have changed their head coach. Even so, the Jazz intends to trade Deron and rebuild.

The Jazz can be regarded as affectionate and righteous, but from the player's point of view, it is estimated that there is no willingness to come here.

Of course, a small ball market like the Jazz would not have any stars to turn to.

In the era of two-way selection, whether it is the fault of the head coach or the players, the Jazz's handling is not good, and they move a lot slower.

The current Jazz is not high in momentum, and the iron-blooded defense is naturally absent.

Deron appeared to be in a slump. Even if Millsap was in good condition, the Jazz didn't last long.

The Thunder clocked out of get off work in three quarters and won [-] consecutive victories.

Before they knew it, the Thunder had won so many consecutive victories again.

But no matter how good the Thunder's record is now, the All-Star head coach cannot be re-elected. Brooks can rest during the All-Star period this time.

The head coach this time is Popovich, the second Spurs coach in the West.

The All-Star substitute list has also been released, and no one from the Thunder has entered.

The situation of the Thunder is also weird. Every time they enter, they are all-star starters, and there are no substitutes.

The last time Lopez was injured, he didn't make it when the bench came out.

It's a little bit regrettable, but it's not a problem.

As long as they continue to be strong, more players will definitely be selected for the All-Star.

Conquer everyone, even in the fiercely competitive Western Conference, the league has to give more spots.

On February 2, the Thunder played against the Grizzlies at home.

Their February schedule is a bit dense, but they also have a lot of rest.

This is not contradictory, because the time of the game is piled up, and so is the time for rest.

They have two days of adjustment time for back-to-back away games, and a rare three-day adjustment time after the home game, and then back-to-back again, and then the All-Star Weekend is almost here.

The schedule after the All-Star Weekend will indeed be a little more troublesome, but the Thunder has an excellent record now and can completely adjust it by themselves.

Their only goal is to defend the title, and such a good record in the regular season is actually enough.

The Grizzlies have a good record now, ninth in the Western Conference, and hope to enter the playoffs.

They would have had a better record, but the team wasn't fully healthy either.

In this game, Gay is absent.

After the Grizzlies changed their style of play, there was a problem with their offensive power, and they lost an outside endpoint.

After the game started, Randolph also scored desperately.

He is in good form today, and he has a chance to score points against Yi Jian.

It's just that this is not enough. Even if Randolph plays well, he can't support the team.

The point is, their three-pointers are not very good, and the offensive end can only continue to hit the inside.

Yi Jian sent out 5 caps casually, and Durant covered 2 of them.

The Grizzlies, desperate for a place in the playoffs, still lost to the Thunder.

After defeating the Grizzlies at home, the Thunder will go back-to-back away.

Taking advantage of the time to adjust at home, everyone relaxed a little.

Yi Jian rarely went out for a stroll, and didn't ask anyone else out, just went to climb the mountain in a low-key manner.

Sometimes, climbing the heights and looking into the distance alone will have a very unique feeling.

However, when standing on the top of the mountain, he suddenly felt that it would be better if there were people around him.

If you are in a foreign country, maybe it's time to have a girlfriend.
