If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 268
The All-Star Game is in Los Angeles, where Kobe, Gasol and Griffin are all at home.

But it is Kobe who can really enjoy the home court treatment.

Without enough fame, home field advantage is useless.

Kobe is arrogant, unlike some players who communicated with other people before, hoping to win the All-Star Game MVP.

Kobe will do his best, he will not make it clear that he wants to help.

But with Kobe's status in the arena, there are still many stars who are willing to grow up.

Lei Ting's young men have long been lawless, so naturally they don't give the old guy much face.

Durant wants to compete for the All-Star MVP, he and he yelled out loudly, but he still said it internally.

Yi Jian's attitude is that he will do his best to help Durant while ensuring the victory in the West.

If Durant can't figure it out, there's no way.

Will he compete?In fact, he didn't care much, unless it reached that level.

So his idea is very clear, first to win, then to help Durant, and then to follow the fate.

"This year, the media said that the East's lineup is also very strong, and we must beat them hard." Yi Jian said.

"That's natural, the East is almost meaningless." Someone laughed.

Many people looked at Kobe, and Kobe smiled and said, "This is Los Angeles."

Even at the end of his peak, Kobe is full of confidence and arrogance in his bones.

The East also wants to win.

Especially James, he wants to win the All-Star MVP and create some momentum for the Heat's Big Three.

Their current record is not particularly outstanding, and they still need to cheer up.

As for the other All-Stars, many people actually don't care about winning or losing, they just treat it as a show.

Some people hope to play the best performance, and it is best to win the MVP.

The personalities of the All-Star players are actually completely different, as is everyone's competitive spirit.

All are competitive, but to varying degrees.

After all, it is professional sports, and salary is still important in many cases.

The head coach of the Western Conference is Popovich. This old man does not intend to make his team more prominent. The Spurs have put all their strength in the regular season this season. They hope that they will have home court advantage in the playoffs.

All-Star weekend, the Spurs players really came to relax.

Even if they wanted to play more, Popovich would not allow it.

So other people, home players, he will give face, limited to Kobe, Gasol will also give some opportunities, forget about Griffin, he is just a rookie, even if he plays well, Popovich will not give the opportunity.

Fortunately, when Yi Jian came here for the first time, he met this old man.

This old man is very arrogant, most people will not give face.

But now that Yi Jian is in the arena, Popovich will give face. Others like Durant, whoever plays well can stay on the court for more time.

Most of the benches in the West are young people with no status, so the main lineup will have fewer opportunities except for Lopez, and everyone else can play casually.

Their starters here are Paul, Kobe, Durant, Yi Jian and Lopez.

Lopez was close, but their lineup can be said to be invincible.

In the East, Rose, Wade, James, Stoudemire and Howard are also very good.

This Eastern Conference has Stoudemire in the past and Rose has risen again, which is indeed stronger than before.

But it's just stronger. The real top strength in the East is James.

Even if the old guys in the West don't work hard, they are still stronger.

Of course, it's hard to say at the All-Stars, it just depends on which side pays more attention to it.

It's just that Kobe in the west is always competitive, and with Yi Jian and Durant, it's actually very difficult for the east to win.

After the start of the game, the East players were very active and showed their desire for victory.

The All-Star Game is different. When the rookies in the rookie game still can't figure out how to make the game better, the game has already played a superficially intense game.

That is a one-on-one performance that looks very serious, with real offense and defense, but no team tactics, no help defense, fierce confrontation but no small moves in official games, and some confrontations that may cause injuries will be consciously passed by both sides.

Most of the fans actually couldn't tell the difference, but felt that the game was more intense.

After all, fierce confrontation in an official game may lead to a break in the rhythm of the game, which is more ugly.

Unlike the All-Stars, it seems that all kinds of high difficulties can still be hit.

A little more relaxed in real defense, but it feels more intense.

After all, in a real game, some moves simply won't make the opponent do it.

Of course, if rookies want to learn, it is actually very difficult, because their strength has not yet reached.

The East took the lead in scoring, but soon, with the efforts of Yi Jian and Kobe, the West gained an advantage.

There are a few starters in the West, Lopez is weaker, and the others are all capable and competitive.

Yi Jian is obviously playing for Durant. Durant is also much stronger than last season, and his scoring has skyrocketed.

Paul played for Kobe, and Kobe also played very resolutely, and he scored a lot.

It's just that Yi Jian has rebounds, and Lopez is also their man. They have more ways to make Durant get more opportunities.

But they haven't been like this all the time. After Durant has some advantages, Yi Jian's passing will also become normal, and it will also give Kobe a chance and help Lopez score.

"You guys won't have a chance!" Yi Jian laughed and spouted trash talk.

And the scene was exactly as he said.

The Eastern Conference lineup, which the outside world thought could compete with the Western Conference, was completely suppressed.

The opponent held back for a while at the beginning, but later on it felt like a great deal of awareness.

Yi Jian and Kobe also completely blocked the opponent's offense, and Paul did not give the young Rose too many opportunities.

Howard also had no chance to attack, and the East felt like it couldn't score at all.

In the All-Star Game, many people were surprised to be unable to score due to a simple single defense.

The head coaches on both sides also saw the problem. The East was completely suppressed after a rush at the start, and soon fell behind to double digits, and the score gap was still widening.

If you don't adjust, the game will be one-sided, so the rotation begins.

The East waited for a few Celtics stars to come up to stabilize the situation. They also have the taste of a real game.

When they slowed down, James and other main players also slowed down.

The point is, the bench in the West is not that strong.

Anthony and Deron are both preoccupied, and Nowitzki doesn't want to play very much, so Gasol is okay.

As a result, the score gap between the two teams has narrowed a lot.

In the All-Star game, the role of the head coach is not just to win.

If the score of the two teams is almost the same at a critical moment, the head coach will come up with some means.

In the past, they would deliberately control the score, and through personnel adjustments, the score gap would be within an acceptable range to maintain the suspense of the game.
