If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 282 No Accidents Are Allowed

The signing of the Mavericks in the middle of the season is actually very good, which complements the strength very well.

In this case, Butler's injury really has no effect.

This is the strongest season for the Mavericks, but Yi Jian will not show mercy.

Going all out on the court is the respect for the opponent.

A commercial league, but the field is competitive sports, Yi Jian has always been like this.

At the beginning of the game, the two teams did not have any temptations, and directly attacked the team.

Nowitzki is in very good condition and can maintain a high shooting percentage in the face of Yi Jian's defense.

But the Thunder still took the lead quickly, because Yi Jian and Durant scored points efficiently, and the Mavericks only had Nowitzki.

This is also the reason why the outside world is more optimistic about the Thunder. Except for Nowitzki, the Mavericks always make people feel almost meaningless.

Originally, they won the championship in history and shocked many people. Basically, they perfectly explained what is possible.

"Prevent their three-pointers and focus more." Yi Jian shouted.

The Thunder got off to a good start, but problems arose during the rotation.

After Terry and Barea came on, the Mavericks played a strong attack.

Two small defenders with strong attack power.

The Thunder was caught off guard and was overtaken by the opponent.

The Thunder's substitute players also played well, but they didn't expect the opponent to hit consecutively.

The team fell behind, and Yi Jian also played quickly.

He grabbed offensive rebounds as soon as he went up and scored, which stabilized the morale of the army.

Otherwise, the Mavericks really feel a little unstoppable.

Other teams have one sixth man, and the Mavericks now have two.

In fact, the Thunder's outside defense has always been very tight, and the former three-pointer Stojakovic was pegged when he came up.

It's just that they didn't expect the two guards to be so fierce, and the Thunder's defensive players are still empirical.

And Yi Jian also found that after the Mavericks scored outside, it was not so easy to restrict Nowitzki.

On the defensive end, Yi Jian not only defends alone, but also assists in defense. Now that he is staring at Dirk Nowitzki, who is in hot form, he can't have so many scruples.

Yi Jian doesn't want to be outnumbered by the Mavericks. The Mavericks are a bit of a monster this season. If the team is robbed of the home court advantage, it may have a great impact.

"Prevent shots and protect rebounds," Yi Jian shouted.

As the boss of the team, he cannot play with his head covered on the court.

He needs to tell his teammates what to do, lead them to gain the advantage as much as possible, and not give the opponent a chance.

At the last moment of the first half, Yi Jian also seized the opportunity to attack the inside line, causing Chandler to foul.

After the Mavericks have Chandler and Haywood, the inside strength is stronger.

It's just that Nowitzki's defensive end can't provide additional help, and killing their inside can still have a great impact on the Mavericks.

The Thunder's number one inside line is definitely not in vain.

"We must not take it lightly. The Mavericks are very strong this season and are our strongest opponent." Returning to the locker room, Yi Jian said seriously.

"The strength of the Lakers has declined. The strongest challenge for us to break out of the Western Conference may be this round. Everyone needs to do a better job in the details on both ends of the offense and defense."

"We were indeed a bit careless... Yi, don't worry, we will definitely show stronger fighting power in the second half."

"I'm going to score more points, just pass the ball to me."

The atmosphere in the Thunder locker room is not bad, a group of young people have a strong desire for victory.

The Mavericks are also building up morale.

"That's how we play, we are no weaker than the Thunder." Mavericks coach Carlisle said.

"Dike is very good, Yi Jian is very powerful, but I believe that he can't restrain you."

"Thunder actually relies heavily on Yi Jian. In fact, we had opportunities. We seized some opportunities in the first half, and we can do better. Thunder is not invincible, why can't we win?"

"Keep working hard and we can do it."

The Mavericks are seriously discussing that Yi Jian needs Marion and Chandler to help him defend.

Nowitzki said that it can also improve the defensive strength, and fight hard in the playoffs, otherwise Marion will also come to help defend, and Durant will get a chance.

Yi Jian passed the ball so well, it really wasn't that easy to be locked up.

Or switch defenses and Nowitzki goes to stare at Durant.

Durant is very strong in this, but everyone knows that the boss of the Thunder is still Yi Jian.

Durant scored some points, not that important.

After all, he is the finisher, and Yi Jian can still drive the whole team, and he can also defend, which is terrible.

In the third quarter, Nowitzki's state is still very good.

But facing Yi Jian's defense, it was not so easy to make a move.

Therefore, Nowitzki began to draw fouls.

The opponent took the initiative to fight physically, and then staggered, as if he had been severely fouled.

Or play a giant swing, this trick is not only Durant can, but everyone's details are slightly different.

Nowitzki's shooting is very threatening, and it is also an operation to fake a shot and rub it on the defensive player.

Yi Jian really got the trick in the third quarter. Fortunately, his fouls have been controlled well, and there will be no problems if he suffers a little bit.

Soon, Thunder responded.

In terms of drawing fouls, Yi Jian and Durant are also masters.

Especially Durant, who is now the league's top foul maker.

There are many players on both sides who can play, and the general foul problem is not afraid.

But Thunder still has some advantages, after all, it is two-on-one.

If Yi Jian is prepared, it will not be easy for Nowitzki to foul him.

But for Marion and Chandler, once there are too many fouls, the Mavericks will not be able to play well.

Especially Marion, without his wing defense, the Mavericks will be a bit troublesome.

"When attacking, be more decisive." Yi Jian encouraged his teammates.

As a role player, the Thunder are stronger.

Of course, if their role players are Lopez, Lowry, Matthews, etc., the Mavericks are really incomparable.

The Mavericks also noticed something was wrong, they had no choice but to make substitutions.

If Terry and Barea were replaced to improve the offense, but Haywood and Stojakovic were replaced in advance, otherwise, it is because Marion and Chandler have a problem with their defensive numbers.

The Mavericks' rotation plus Nowitzki is actually their strongest offensive lineup.

However, the defense is far from the main lineup.

The same goes for organizational skills. If Kidd goes down, the defense and passing of the first position will be weakened.

The Thunder, in fact, are not afraid of confronting other teams.

The Mavericks can't fight defense, and they can't fight offense.

They are completely supported by Nowitzki's fiery state and some pixie balls with Terry and other players.

If it can't hold on, the Thunder will win the game.

But the Thunder should also be vigilant, if the Mavericks have a few more fairy balls, there is a chance to comeback.

Sometimes, the game is just so unreasonable.

Therefore, Yi Jian was extremely serious.

Especially when defending, he will not allow anyone from the Thunder to desert.

On the way to defend his title, he did not allow any accidents to appear.
