If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 287
"This is a crucial victory for us." Brooke is in a new suit and is handsome. "Everyone is involved, and our bench players have also performed very well."

"Our players are improving every year. I still remember when we picked Yi Jian...Yi Jian is very good, he can hit key shots. There is no doubt about his excellence. The key is that he is still improving. He is already other players. Unbelievable level."

Yi Jian talked about the defense against Nowitzki after the game. He said: "This guy is still difficult to deal with. When the Mavericks need him to score, he can hit consecutively. But we made enough preparations early to ensure the win .”

"Actually, I don't deliberately focus on offense and defense. What I pursue is winning, and I can do anything for it."

Durant yelled vigorously: "We are the winners. We are still ten games away from the championship. We will not be afraid of away games, nor will we worry about any opponents."

Between the home and away games, there will be an extra day of adjustment time.

But for Thunder, it doesn't matter, they just need to do their own thing well.

The Mavericks, who are back at home, are also trying to find a way.

The third game must be won, while the Thunder is still not familiar with the scale of the away game.

On the defensive end, they must increase their strength. Even if they can't lock Yi Jian and Durant, the rest of the Thunder must be restrained.

The other is offense. Apart from Nowitzki, the offense of the Mavericks must rise.

Improving defense and offense may seem like nonsense, but the Mavericks are also very strong. In the two games they lost, it was not without a chance. With a bit of home court advantage, they can really do it.

Now let's see if their judgment is correct.

They didn't want to let other Thunder players go, but went to flank Yi Jian and Durant.

They choose to lock other players. This trick has been used by many teams, but usually the opponent has only one superstar, and it is used against the Thunder.It's a bit difficult.

But the Mavericks feel they still have a chance.

In this playoffs, they are actually in good shape, that is, they met the Thunder ahead of schedule.

"Even if it is the Thunder, we can win."

Back at home, the Mavericks have also improved a lot of confidence.

This is a must. No player in the playoffs thinks that just playing with them is enough, and they also hope to pursue the championship.

The Mavericks played at the American Airlines Center, and Yi Jian and others received huge boos.

Some players might care, but Yi Jian didn't feel anything at all, and there was not much difference between boos and cheers.

But he won't get close to the opponent's fans, mainly because some people say all kinds of bad words and don't bother to care.

After the game started, the Mavericks' defense was extremely tight.

Thunder made the first attack, Yi Jian played with the ball, and the opponent actually fouled, but the referee ignored it.

Yi Jian's shot also hit the iron, but he quickly adjusted.

On the contrary, Durant was not used to coming to the away game. There was a problem with his shooting and it would take time.

However, Yi Jian did not make Nowitzki feel better.

As the Thunder's defensive strength also increased, the two teams directly entered the rhythm of the defensive battle.

In fact, the Mavericks are relatively offensive, but in order to stop the Thunder, they also changed their rhythm.

Taking advantage of the home court, they hope to destroy the Thunder's offense.

Soon, the Mavericks found that their offense could not play.

Yi Jian contributed two caps in the first half of the quarter. Even if the Mavericks returned to the home court, they would not be able to hit the inside.

The Thunder's toughness on the inside forced the Mavericks to only shoot from the outside, which also led to their inability to fully implement their offensive tactics.

A strong team can affect the progress of the game on both offensive and defensive ends.

Durant didn't seem to be able to feel it for a while, and Marion's restrictions on him were okay.

In this case, Yi Jian started to attack.

In the first two games, he has not focused on attacking, because Durant has been in good form.

Yi Jian's role is the core of organization and defense.

Now, the offensive end must be supported first.

Otherwise, when Durant was looking for a touch, the Mavericks would lead by a lot, and it would be more troublesome to chase after him.

It must be that basketball is still a game in which offense dominates. Even if they break the Mavericks' defense and score various points, the Mavericks can also respond with scoring.

It's just that you are strong, or you are not safe.

Before there is a change, the score must not be opened.

Yi Jian's offensive performance is also very simple. Either he catches the ball and directly pulls up or starts, or grabs an offensive rebound. Anyway, he is decisive and not sloppy at all.

Durant, on the other hand, is looking for opportunities for misplaced singles. Even if the touch has not recovered, he will try his best to cause damage.

"Yi Jian, can you do this?" Mavericks head coach Carlisle was a little shocked.

Whenever they feel that they have seen through Yi Jian, Yi Jian will always bring another surprise.

Mavericks started to pinch at the end, but they still couldn't stop Yi Jian.

Most of the time, it was too late for Yi Jian to flank after holding the ball.

This was something they hadn't expected before. Yi Jian didn't play like this before, so the Mavericks felt that it didn't matter if Yi Jian scored some points. Yi Jian's more dangerous way of playing is to drive everyone in Thunderclap.

Now they realized that as long as Yi Jian scored purely, it was enough to cause big troubles for strong teams.

After Yi Jian went all out, Thunder gradually narrowed the gap from behind, and then they played better and better.

By the second quarter, Durant's touch hadn't recovered yet, but the Thunder's performance was already better than that of the Mavericks.

Because Nowitzki's touch has never improved.

Nowitzki was defended more tightly by Yi Jian.

Carlisle also felt it. Nowitzki, who was playing at home, also had a little problem with his physical strength.

With Yi Jian on offense and defense, even if someone helps, Nowitzki's consumption will be too great.

As for switching defenses, Durant is not easy to deal with, and Marion is now defending Durant well, Nowitzki still has to do more.

To be precise, the same is true for the Mavericks. If they want to win, they must do more.

"Consume! Consume as much as you can, I don't believe he is made of iron." Carlisle was also a little angry.

It is really annoying that the method that the Mavericks coaching staff worked so hard to come up with was destroyed violently than Yi Jian.

"This is our territory, so what if Yi Jian gets a little more points as long as he can restrain the rest of the Thunder? We can do it."

Amidst the cheers of the home fans, the Mavericks also fought hard.

Their approach, because they took the lead, was actually no problem in the first half.

If it just continues, it may be broken by Yi Jian alone.

Of course, this is only a case where Nowitzki is restricted.

Therefore, the Mavericks still have ideas, not only hope that Nowitzki will show off again, but also other players, as long as they perform better on the offensive end, Yi Jian can only cut in vain.
