If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 285
The second game between the Thunder and the Mavericks will start soon, and it is still the home court of the Thunder. The players are more fully prepared.

The advantage of the home court is that there will be no additional consumption. In the fierce stage of the playoffs, this may be more advantageous than the home whistle.

Of course, most athletes' adjustment ability is actually very good, and they don't see too much influence.

But as long as there is a little impact, it may also lead to a change in the ending when the power is evenly matched.

The Thunder's lineup is still stronger than that of the Mavericks, but the Mavericks' playoff form is surprisingly good, and they have the possibility of fighting against the Thunder, so they must win all their home games.

There was no change in the starting lineup of the two teams, and the game started amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the Thunder fans.

The Mavericks took the lead in attacking, Marion went down to catch the ball, and then was interfered by Yi Jian.

Marion's cutting inside is actually very fierce, but it's a pity that Yi Jian's defensive awareness is indeed invincible, and his interference is strong.

As a result, Marion can only be used as a defensive member now. After giving up a three-pointer from the Suns, Marion is much less threatening on the offensive end.

Turning back, Yi Jian made a direct mid-range shot.

When it was Thunder's turn to attack, Nowitzki also tried, but he didn't feel like he was on the court. He shot and hit iron under Yi Jian's defense.

Yi Jian also breathed a sigh of relief, the Mavericks' offense was indeed a bit beyond the standard.

Under normal circumstances, it is not easy for Nowitzki to play Yi Jian in singles, but he is only slightly better than other insiders.

Nowitzki didn't feel good on the court, but the Mavericks still attacked well. Kidd raised his hand and hit a three-pointer.

The east is not bright and the west is bright, and there are many people who play with the Mavericks.

Kidd's offense felt okay, so he began to organize as much as possible and play team offense.

The Mavericks didn't insist on Nowitzki's singles. After all, they played so well on the court and haven't won yet. The Mavericks also want to try a different method.

It is best for everyone to open the front, and Nowitzki will take over the game at the critical moment.

There is not much difference on the side of the Thunder, Yi Jian and Durant still lead the team to go crazy.

In fact, in terms of scoring methods, the two of them are better than Nowitzki.

The Mavericks' defense doesn't limit them so much.

With a little cooperation between the two, any strong defense in the league will feel very difficult.

Not to mention, the Mavericks are not actually the top defensive type.

Their defense is also good, but their players who are good at offense and defense are not in the same wave, and then it is difficult to fully exert their strengths in both aspects.

The Mavericks' bench performance this time was not as good as the frontcourt, but the first quarter was still inextricably tied to the Thunder as a whole.

After Kidd's shooting feels better, his passing becomes more threatening and can last for a while.

In fact, Jibu's shooting has not been too bad, but he is better at organization and rhythm, as well as defense.

He is old now, as long as he can't get rid of the defense, he won't force it.

Very cautious, but sometimes he can't do anything when the team needs to score.

This time he significantly increased his shots, but after being noticed by Lowry and keeping a close eye on him, Kidd was left with organization on the offensive end.

However, a tall guard like Kidd is still better than a short guard after his strength declines.

They can fight well and can do other jobs. If the offensive ability of the thin and short guards decreases, staying on the field may become a side effect.

During the rotation period, the Mavericks did not show off immediately.

As a result, the Thunder took the opportunity to gain an advantage, and the Thunder's substitute players are also very good.

Nothing stands out, but everyone can play.

This time Dragic hit a three-pointer as soon as he came up, which put a lot of pressure on the Mavericks.

On the Mavericks' side, Nowitzki seemed to have lost some physical strength and took a few minutes of rest before playing.

Terry and others couldn't hold on, and the Thunder had already led by more than 5 points.

It doesn't seem like much, but the Thunder didn't do it until the end.

The Mavericks have no choice but to count on Nowitzki.

After Nowitzki came up, the situation improved a lot.

Not only Nowitzki can attack, but the key is that he can attract defense.

Even if it is just taking Yi Jian out, it will be of great help to the Mavericks' overall offense.

It's just that Nowitzki stabilized the situation after playing and didn't have a chance to help the Mavericks chase points.

Without some fairy balls, the performance of the Mavericks is obviously weaker.

"It's right to defend against three points." Yi Jian still said the same thing.

He can control Nowitzki, and of course he must continue to pay attention to the Mavericks' three-point situation.

The Mavericks are also unlucky to meet the Thunder. If there is no Yi Jian, Nowitzki should be able to play Wushuang.

In the current fourth position, to be honest, there is no player who can limit Nowitzki.

Some of the ruthless characters of his time age faster than him.

In the new era, except for Yi Jian, no one has risen to this position.

But now that they have met the Thunder ahead of schedule, they can only go head-to-head. Who made them not strong enough in the regular season?

Butler's point really cheated the Mavericks.

"Nowitzki feels restricted by Yi Jian today."

"It can't be said that it is completely restricted. Nowitzki has already scored more than ten points."

"At this level of confrontation, Nowitzki is restricted. The key is that the Mavericks have no one else to stand up for."

"The Mavericks' defense also has problems. They still can't limit Yi Jian and Durant."

"In this league, which team can limit Yi Jian and Durant?"

"If the Mavericks can't play offensively, the game will be stable for the Thunder."

"With Emperor Yi here, sweep the Mavericks."

"If Thunder successfully defends the title, will Yi Jian release a limited edition signature shoe?"

"That's for sure, this time we must grab it. Last year's limited edition is already ten times the price."

"Damn rich... In fact, cheap money is not bad..."

"What's the matter, my girlfriend wants to buy a limited edition bag, why can't I buy limited edition sneakers."

"I envy people who have girlfriends..."

"Concentrate on watching the game. In fact, the Mavericks still have hope in this game. Their game is relatively balanced, and the performance of the role players is actually better."

"What's the use of role players, the playoffs are the stage for superstars."

"That's right, Emperor Yi will take care of everything, Mavericks is still a little bit off."

At the last moment of the first half, the Mavericks were blocked by the Thunder.

Entering the halftime break, the Thunder's lead was temporarily stabilized.

Back in the locker room, Nowitzki also took the initiative to say, "I'm not doing well enough."

Coach Carlisle said: "Dirk, you have to show the aggressiveness of the game, you can do it, and you must do it."

"We also want to help Dirk, we must be decisive when we have the opportunity to shoot." Kidd said.

"Defense, we need to do more details." Carlisle continued to motivate the players.

"Our foul control is better than the first game, but it's not that we lack aggression. In the second half, we can't give the opponent another chance. To win, we must go for it."
