If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 293 The Fighting Grizzly Bear

Yi Jian is now a player without any weak links. Whenever an opponent has a weakness, he can catch it and beat him to death.

Even, he didn't need to grasp the opponent's weakness, and he was not afraid to confront the opponent head-on.

To deal with Randolph, he must be head-to-head on the defensive end, but he must be more flexible on the offensive end.

In fact, it is also for consumption. Randolph is not afraid of internal confrontation, but instead pulls him out, he will be more troublesome.

Yi Jian can score more easily, and can also consume opponents, killing two birds with one stone.

"Consume them, it would be better if they can cause foul problems." Yi Jian said to the other insiders of the team.

He believes that in the series with the Grizzlies, it will definitely not be possible to deal with the black and white bears.

At the beginning of the game, the Grizzlies felt faster.

Yi Jian started various individual performances and soon scored 5 points in a row.

"I'm not the same as Nowitzki, you can't guard me." Randolph shouted after scoring.

Yi Jian said disdainfully: "You may not have a good memory, but it doesn't matter, I am willing to help others. After you lose, you will remember that you will never win."

While the two were talking, Yi Jian had already gone to the Grizzlies' half to receive the ball.

Randolph immediately wanted to step forward to block people.

Randolph is not a very active defensive type, but he is good at hand-to-hand combat inside.

But it was different for Shang Yi Jian, the Grizzlies attached great importance to it.

And they can reach the Western Conference finals, and the player's confidence has been raised to a peak.

Their players are also very excited now.

Randolph took the initiative to defend from the outside, hoping to limit Yi Jian.

Before the game, he was full of confidence and patted his chest with his teammates, and he would definitely not make Yi Jian look good.

In their view, Yi Jian is very strong, but Yi Jian has never encountered a strong insider.

Grizzlies are qualified to let Yi Jian suffer.

However, the moment Randolph blocked up, Yi Jian had already started quickly.

Randolph blocked it with his hand, a somewhat foul move.

However, he didn't stop him. Randolph only felt that Yi Jian rushed over with a huge force.

When he turned around, he found that Yi Jian had already made a shot before Gasol came up to help defend.

Randolph was a little shocked. His attention was actually very concentrated when they sprayed each other.

The moment Yi Jian received the ball, he reacted and wanted to defend, but he still couldn't keep up.

Yi Jian is too fast, not only among the inside players.

Even if outside players follow him, they may be thrown away in one fell swoop.

The combination of speed and power, completely unstoppable.

The two teams came up with the intensity of the Western Conference Finals. With tight defense, the Thunder and the Grizzlies both relied on their stars to score.

The black and white bears feel good, and the two teams are also inseparable.

The Thunder didn't feel any difficulty at this time, even though the Grizzlies defended well.

They still subconsciously feel that the Grizzlies are not strong enough, so there is no need to worry too much.

But when it came to the rotation period, the Thunder felt more and more difficulties, especially when Yi Jian was resting.

The Thunder's previous two opponents did not have bad defense, but they were obviously not as thorough as the Grizzlies.

The Thunder's decent bench lineup was actually restricted by the Grizzlies.

In fact, the Grizzlies' bench players did not perform well, but they scored a little more than the Thunder's bench players.

Just by a tiny bit, the Grizzlies took the lead.

For the time being, Yi Jian will follow Randolph up and down, and fighting against Randolph will indeed consume more energy than facing Nowitzki.

Before it was time for him to work extra overtime, he didn't expect something to go wrong.

The Grizzlies' perimeter was slightly more stable than theirs during the rotation period.

Thunder players may sometimes rely a bit on the performance of their stars.

The Grizzlies don't have a superstar-level strength, and their mentality is better.

The main force returned in the second quarter, and Durant couldn't find any opportunities, so Yi Jian could only attack strongly again.

He also reminded his teammates, "Don't underestimate the Grizzlies, there is no weak person who can reach the Western Conference Finals."

"Think about when we first reached the Western Conference finals, don't develop a habit of arrogance. We have to focus on the game and give it our all. No matter who the opponent is, we have to try to win the series."

Yi Jian forced Randolph several times, but Randolph was still at a disadvantage due to his size, and it was difficult for Yi Jian to shoot.

As long as Gasol didn't help defend, Yi Jian would attack casually.

It is to fight against Randolph, and the consumption will be greater.

But it doesn't matter, Randolph is also exhausted, and Yi Jian has the confidence to overwhelm Randolph in terms of physical strength.

At the end of the first half, Yi Jian also blocked Randolph from the front.

Randolph often relies on his strength to push the defensive players away and shoot, and he does not jump very high.

If Yi Jian still has strength left after the confrontation, he will have a chance to interfere.

This requires some skill and judgment, and Yi Jian is getting familiar with it.

After falling behind in the first half, the Thunder players were also much more sober after returning to the locker room.

Not only did they score a lot and were blocked by the opponent, but they didn't have the advantage of the previous series in rebounding.

In fact, the Grizzlies' two interior rebounds are not particularly strong, but the two of them are blocked inside, and it must be much more difficult for the Thunder to grab rebounds.

Without sufficient advantages in this regard, it also means that their fault tolerance rate is reduced, and their offensive efficiency must be better.

"We can't underestimate them, but we can't be too worried. We need to trust each other." Yi Jian said.

"Go fight with all your strength, defend with all your strength, and attack decisively. If it doesn't work, I will take care of everything."

Yi Jian's words are still very encouraging.

It's not how good he says, but that he always walks the talk, and the Thunder players believe in him.

Coach Brooks also said: "Our running should be more active. This is our territory. We are not afraid to compete with each other."

"Opportunities depend on us to take the initiative to create."

Temporarily behind, the Thunder did not lose confidence, they experienced the test in the playoffs.

On the Grizzlies side, the fighting spirit is also high at this time.

They have never been favored by others, all the way to the Western Conference Finals, players believe that they can create miracles.

Grizzlies coach Hollins said: "They are the best team in the league, but it doesn't matter, we have also proved ourselves. This season, we finally found the right direction. All the way to the present, we have overcome countless difficulty."

"Now that we are leading, it means that we can do it. Boys, work harder to defeat them and defeat strong enemies. We are moving forward step by step. We will shock the outside world again. There is nothing we cannot do!"

"come on! Come on!"

In the Grizzlies locker room, a huge roar erupted.

They are also a young team, and they also defeated the young Thunder.

Later, they watched the Thunder become stronger step by step, and then became the championship and the strongest team in the league.

They are envious and jealous, and they also desire to be a dazzling presence in the league.

Now the opportunity is in front of them, and they have to work hard.
