If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 289 Continue
When the time reached the last 5 minutes, the Mavericks still had a chance.

Nowitzki, desperately helped the team to bite the score, and the Thunder didn't lead much.

The Mavericks seem to be able to turn the score back as long as they work harder.

It's just that, don't talk about putting in more effort, it will be very difficult for them to hold their breath.

Nowitzki seemed to have a problem with his physical strength, and his two shots were blocked by Yi Jian.

This is too rare for Nowitzki.

But Nowitzki was not discouraged, and he still faced Yi Jian's defense in another round, and this time he made a hit.

However, Marion committed another six offenses.

And Yi Jian broke Nowitzki again, helping the Thunder expand their lead to more than 5 points.

Yi Jian could feel that Nowitzki was a bit overwhelmed. He might still make a shot, but other aspects were indeed declining.

He just stole the ball because Nowitzki didn't hold the ball in the confrontation.

This is an impossible mistake for an experienced superstar.

Terry shot, but hit the iron.

Kidd also shot once, but also missed.

There is no way, even if Nowitzki is very tired, he can only come.

On the sidelines, Carlisle clenched his hands and his teeth were about to be gritted.

It's really not reconciled, they obviously have a chance to win the game, but now they are in danger.

He showed that he remained calm. As a head coach, he cannot panic and affect the performance of the players on the court.

"Nowitzki's fake move... Is he trying to draw a foul? Yi Jian wasn't fooled, but Nowitzki still took the shot. If he didn't hit, the rhythm of the ball was wrong."

"The Thunder have already started to press the time. With 10 seconds left in the attack clock, Lowry handed the ball to Yi Jian. Yi Jian is very good, and he passed Nowitzki with one step. Chandler has already assisted in the defense... …Smart passing, Lopez was unguarded at the rim, easy to score."

"Dirk Nowitzki finally hits, but it's just two goals, not enough."

"Time is running out, Matthews made a three-pointer from the bottom corner. It missed, but Yi Jian grabbed another rebound."

"The Mavericks have no choice but to use foul tactics to make a last-ditch effort."

"Yi Jian made free throws too steadily, and made two more free throws."

"Nowitzki's three-pointer... seems to be disturbed by Yi Jian's fingertips, and he didn't even reach the basket..."

"The referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and the Thunder series won the match point 3:0."

After defeating his opponent in the away game, Yi Jian breathed a sigh of relief.

So what if the Mavericks are in good shape, they are more stable and stronger.

This time, they waited for the opportunity abruptly by relying on defense, which is exciting.

Head coach Brooks also said: "We have always maintained our beliefs. We performed well enough on the defensive end, and we must do so. This is the first time since we entered the series that we have shown a championship-level defensive level, and we did it."

Yi Jian said: "We must realize that facing an excellent opponent like the Mavericks, we must be more aggressive, whether it is offensive or defensive. I really enjoy the duel with Nowitzki, the road to defending the title Only by beating a strong team can you feel more fulfilled in the world.”

Durant said: "When we missed the shot at the beginning and gave the opponent an easy opportunity to lead, we didn't panic. We had to find it calmly. We relied on defense to fight fiercely with the opponent, and finally we came to the fore."

The Mavericks are on the brink, but they haven't caved in yet, at least on the mouth.

Coach Carlisle said: "We're down by a big margin, but it's not the end of the world. They're shooting better than us, and we're missing a lot of shots we should have made. I would say, as long as it's not over, we have a chance to keep working hard." .”

"The Thunder are very strong and difficult to deal with. It is our biggest challenge in the playoffs. But we came to the playoffs and foresaw this day. We must play a strong counterattack. Win or go home."

Nowitzki said: "There is no doubt that this defeat is hard to swallow. If this failure does not make you sad, then no other failure can hurt you."

"I think, maybe we lack some energy. We have a lot of old guys, we are tired, but the team needs us to step up. This is what I have been doing in the past, regardless of the result, we should give our best again. Go, no regrets."

Veteran Kidd said: "We missed some shots, we lost the game, but we will not be depressed because of this, we will not stop attacking at this point. We have experienced a lot, we continue to stay on the court, and we will continue to Fight, we will never admit defeat."

At this point, no matter what the Mavericks are determined to do, it will be over if they lose another game.

The outside world is discussing the matter of sweeping, and the Thunder's strength has been fully recognized.

As a fan, you only look at the results, and no one cares whether the Mavericks have a chance in the process.

"The Mavericks will lose, at most they may win one game."

"It must be swept away, Thunderclap doesn't have the habit of playing one game."

"The playoffs are exciting with Yi Jian, but Yi Jian really only has so many games, which is a bit of a pity. I don't want the Thunder to lose, and I want to watch a few more games, which is very contradictory."

"Don't even think about it, Lei Ting will definitely defend the title, and Emperor Yi is definitely the only existence in the alliance. We are just witnessing the process of Emperor Yi ascending the throne again."

"The Thunder are just lucky, and the Mavericks' lineup is simply not complete."

"Hehe, there are still people who question Lei Ting's strength."

On the Thunder's training ground, everyone just adjusted their state slightly, not the normal training state.

On the contrary, the coaching staff is even busier, gathering together to formulate various strategies.

The semi-finals next door had already been played out of their minds, and Yi Jian and others didn't pay much attention for the time being.

Gotta focus on that while the series is still going on.

"Night Chang has many dreams, we still can't slack off." Yi Jian said.

If you end early, you will have no status. This is only a very small risk, but it has great benefits.

They will have enough time to adjust and study their opponents.

They have met their opponents in the regular season, but it still needs to be confirmed whether the opponent is in the playoffs.

"Sweep!" Someone shouted excitedly.

They didn't think so much about Yi Jian, it was just more enjoyable.

After playing the playoffs in a glorious way, no matter how much training or less training in summer, there will definitely be more comfortable times, and everyone is looking forward to it.

And the most comfortable is definitely the rest after the achievement.

In that way, going to a nightclub to brag is more high-end.

As for the Mavericks, at this point, they have no other ideas and just go all out.

At least they are at home, and they can definitely fight together ahead.

As for the effect not being achieved and some players unable to hold on, that is another matter.

The fourth battle finally started.
