If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 277 Invincible Strength

On April 4th, Yi Jian led the team against the Nuggets alone.

Lowry and Lopez also had a truce, and Yi Jian felt that Durant still needed some help when leading the team alone.

The Thunder doesn't care about the outcome of the last few games, but they won't lose at will either.

However, the situation is simpler than imagined.

The current Nuggets are really easy to deal with without Billups and Anthony.

At the beginning of the Thunder, they relied on defense to completely lock down the opponent.

In fact, with a few main players missing, it might be even stronger in terms of defense alone.

After all, Durant will put more energy on the offensive end when he is there, and Jordan is also a defensive center.

As a result, a clever scene appeared. The Nuggets, who are good at offense, couldn't even score 20 points in the first quarter.

"Isn't it? The Thunder are so strong. A few starters took a break and beat the Nuggets."

"As long as Yi Jian is around, he is strong. This time, I finally saw Yi Jian's offensive going crazy."

"It's so cool, it's so cool to see Yi Jian leading the team alone!"

Yi Jian's loyal fans are very excited, because he scored various points in this game.

He casually scored in double figures in a single quarter, which confused the Nuggets a bit.

The point is, he didn't let go of his rebounds and assists, he simply did whatever he wanted.

"It's terrible, half of the Thunder is so strong, there are too few teams that can stop them from defending the title."

"Yi Jian's offensive and defensive ends are C. Durant actually doesn't play that much role in the ball."

"But the current Thunder is indeed not the strongest lineup. Are the Nuggets too weak?"

"After Billups and Anthony left, the Nuggets did not collapse. It should be because the Thunder is too strong, or Yi Jian is really too strong!"

In the second quarter, the young Nuggets guard Lawson showed off, and their offense improved a lot.

However, Yi Jian wasn't worried that the Nuggets' defense wouldn't have a chance to come back.

No way, he is too powerful.

Yi Jian wasn't bragging about himself, he showed absolute dominance, and Durant wasn't there, so the Nuggets didn't plan to attack him completely.

Yi Jian is very strange, why some head coaches can only do one thing well, is it difficult to have both offense and defense?

The people of Niubi can say anything, and now this Nuggets team can't say bad things, but the defense is getting worse and worse, and the team is also a bit chaotic.

Ty Lawson's sense of rhythm is still much worse than Billups.

With the connivance of the Nuggets, Yi Jian easily scored 42 points and 20 rebounds, turning the game into a festival for hardcore fans.

After the game, Nuggets coach George Karl also said: "I don't think we can beat them by attacking and attacking. The way we have a chance to beat them should be to rely on defense and excellent transfer of the ball. The player leads the space."

The Nuggets have actually been doing a good job of transferring the ball, but they are just talking about defending.

Thunder coach Brooks said after the game: "We try to make ourselves tougher, we want our opponents to feel our presence. We did this, and of course the opponents did a good job. Coach Carl asked his players to show toughness, So did we. It was a test for us and I think we did a good job, we didn't fear them physically."

He was more polite, just euphemistically saying that the Nuggets were a little dirty.

Yi Jian was not very polite, because Ty Lawson yelled after the game that they should have won, and if they met in the playoffs, they would not let Yi Jian be so easy.

He laughed: "After Anthony left, the Nuggets are still a playoff team. They really haven't changed much. Of course, they still can't beat us."

In front of the Thunder, Anthony is a weak chicken, and the Nuggets are also weak chickens, that's all.

On the second day of the game, Yi Jian had a truce, and Ibaka performed well in the first game.

Durant also scored 30+ against the Clippers and led the team to win, but Griffin also scored 30+, which is better than Durant.

Griffin is still talented, but he is also an absolute core style of play, with the ball in his hands.

If the Clippers traded Paul, he wouldn't be so happy.

The Thunder continued to win, and then on April 4 they beat the Nuggets again.

The Thunder with a well-organized lineup prevented the Nuggets from even having their best offense.

The game scored over 80 points, the lowest of the season.

Ty Lawson was completely locked up by Lowry and only scored 4 points in the game. This time he didn't dare to talk nonsense.

After the game, Lowry also said lightly: "This kid is still young, he will know what the NBA is."

On April 4, the Thunder played away against the Lakers.

The Lakers are still the Thunder's more important opponents. As the beginning of back-to-back, no one rests in this game.

It was clear that this game was going to be a confrontation, and Kobe started with full firepower.

But in a different way, less with the ball and more as a pure finish.

In this case, both Kobe and Gasol have a chance to perform.

It's just that the Nuggets know it's irrational to fight the Thunder.

The Lakers also suffered a disadvantage. In the case of confrontation, Yi Jian and Durant's efficiency is better than Kobe's.

It's not that Kobe has dropped to this level, but the Thunder's defense is still better.

In the case of confrontation, many defensive layouts are too late, but they are better than the Lakers.

Moreover, it doesn't matter if the Thunder's insiders come at a fast pace.

Yi Jian's speed is faster than many backcourts, and the others can rotate more, so why do they have more people?

The Thunder's offense is stronger, and it doesn't look like there is a big gap, and the score on the court often repeats.

However, after a few minutes, it can be seen that Thunder is leading.

A few minutes later, they had a little more lead.

The rotation lineup is also stronger for the Thunder.

As long as Odom doesn't perform well for the Lakers, their bench lineup will basically be useless.

The Thunder is different. They have a lot of good substitute players, and they all have the opportunity to play, and it will not affect the whole because of one person's absence.

"The Lakers are really inferior to the Thunder..."

"The role players of the Lakers are too bad..."

"Obviously it's Kobe's pitfall. He took too many shots and couldn't lead the team to win."

"Don't you understand yet? It's just that Yi Di is too strong to stop scoring. On the defensive end, he can limit opponents and drive his teammates with passes. There is no weakness."

"Lakers, it's a thing of the past!"

"In the West now, no one can stop the Thunder."

"Not counting the East, the era of the Thunder has come."

Many people lamented this, because the Thunder did play better on the court.

If the Thunder screw up the playoffs in the end, they will have many reasons to despise the Thunder.

But now, the Thunder is undoubtedly the overlord of the league.

Although they only won the championship once, the strength they showed is too invincible.

In this game, the Lakers fought to the end, so they died very aggrieved.

The Thunder started with a 5-point lead and continued to expand their lead, finally leading by more than 20 points.

Six players scored in double figures and scored 130 points, which is the strength of the Thunder.
