If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 296 Differences
The Grizzlies players were excited for the whole game, but fell into hell at the last moment.

Yi Jian was the culprit, and the opponent's players looked at him very complicatedly.

They tried their best but couldn't stop this man. Yi Jian deserved to win, but as an opponent, it was uncomfortable.

Obviously, they were only a little bit short, and they could also pull down the Thunder, the strongest in the league.

As soon as they blacked out to the end, they actually had hope, but the cooked duck flew away.

Who is to blame?I can't seem to blame anyone, it's just a pity.

The victory of a game is far more than that, and the mentality of the players has found subtle changes.

The lore was very exciting. After everyone calmed down, Yi Jian said: "The end, we can't fight so hard."

To be honest, both teams had some luck in this game.

Winning in the end was good, but Yi Jian didn't like it very much. He couldn't control his luck. He hoped that the team could beat the opponent clearly.

If they didn't know enough about the Grizzlies before, after this game, they can't.

After the game, Grizzlies coach Brooks said: "It's a pity this game, we almost won the victory. We just don't want to be underestimated, we will play every game well."

"Our players have always fought and never backed down."

Randolph, who still scored double-doubles against Yi Jian, said: "We didn't play our best level, and we won't admit defeat. We accepted this challenge and played very tough. I just want to use my best height and strength."

Thunder coach Brooks said: "They made it difficult for us. Their defense is much better than before, which made us play very difficult."

"Many people in the outside world said that we were lucky. We met the Grizzlies with little experience in the playoffs, but they have proved their strength at this point. We also know that the road to defending the title will not be so easy, so we do our best ready to face challenges.”

"We were never discouraged when we were behind and we took our chances in the end."

"I'm blessed to have the best players on my team."

Durant talked about Tony Allen's defense. He said: "He played very well, but even if I can get rid of him, I will see other opponents pounce. Their team defense is very good."

Yi Jian talked about the lore, and he said with a smile: "Actually, there is no burden. I have to shoot this kind of ball. If I don't make a shot, then I will play better in the next game. My teammates believe in me. I also believe in them. They won't be playing so thrillingly all the time."

"Every step forward in the playoffs will encounter more difficult opponents. What we have to do is to face it with all our strength until we achieve our goals."

It is impossible for the team to feel stable all the time, even a strong team like the Thunder can't do it.

The same goes for the Grizzlies, and the Thunder have to take those opportunities.

They are more experienced and stronger than their opponents.

The Grizzlies have done what they are good at to the extreme to fight the Thunder.

What Yi Jian has to do is to help the team show more advantages.

Game [-] began soon, with the Thunder and Grizzlies continuing in Oklahoma.

This match was different from the previous ones. Randolph was defended by Yi Jian at the beginning and hit three irons in a row.

Yi Jian's current defensive ability is enough to defend any top scorer in the league, and Randolph is really like that.

It's just that the offensive end of basketball is still more proactive than defensive. When the All-Star level is in good shape, even if Yi Jian is the strongest defensive player in the league, it is impossible to completely restrain him.

But when the other party's condition is not good, or when it's normal, it will definitely be restricted by Yi Jian.

Randolph was unable to break through Yi Jian's defense at the beginning, which caused a lot of trouble for the Grizzlies.

Randolph is the first scoring point for the Grizzlies, there is no doubt about it.

Many of their offensive tactics are related to the inside, and the inside is obviously Randolph's main attack.

In this case, Marc Gasol can't do much.

Unlike his elder brother, Gasol is more inclined to defend.

If Randolph is in good shape, he can follow the attack from the side, but he can't be the main attack.

So Randolph's problems with this point will affect the Grizzlies as a whole.

The game will not wait for anyone to recover, so the Grizzlies chose to let Conley come.

Conley is okay on both ends of the floor, but only okay.

It's not impossible for him to attack, but the Grizzlies' offense will definitely be affected.

In this case, the Grizzlies will definitely defend desperately to prevent the Thunder from taking advantage of the fire.

However, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't completely restrain Lei Ting.

Matthews took the lead in hitting a three-pointer from the corner, followed by Yi Jian and Durant.

The Thunder have superstars, and this is the biggest difference between them and the Grizzlies.

When the Grizzlies have a situation, the team can only slowly find out the feeling, but the Thunder can let the stars solve the problem directly.

And unlike the last game, the Thunder's role players obviously felt better.

With a bit of adaptation, some changes are bound to happen.

Matthews' opening three-pointer was second, and Lowry and Lopez also performed.

During the rotation period, the substitute players also played better.

In fact, the Grizzlies' bench lineup is not bad either.

Battier was stared at by the Thunder players and didn't do much, but Mayo and Arthur performed well.

It's just that, unlike the last game, the Grizzlies don't have a rotation that can lock down the Thunder.

This caused the Grizzlies to score more off the bench than on the court, and they did fall behind in the rotation.

The Grizzlies' defense may not be fully formed yet.

They came out and were better with the excitement and form of the first game.

This time, when entering the rotation period, they are also seeking to attack.

It may be that the change has not been that long, or it may be that the Thunder's offense has brought the rhythm.

Anyway, the Thunder led by double digits all of a sudden, and it was already a bit late when Randolph found some touch after resting for a while.

On the sidelines, Grizzlies coach Hollins had some headaches.

The Grizzlies, who can only rely on a team to attack, are really no match for the Thunder.

Their three-pointers are also too bad.

Randolph can't score, and the others can easily be sanctioned by Yi Jian.

Although they are still relying on defense to drag the Thunder, and did not let the Thunder's lead continue to expand, but the score behind this way will not come back.

How to do?
For the time being, only two guards can be used, let Mayo and Conley try with the two-gun mode in the backcourt.

The Grizzlies now only look forward to the end of the first half so they can make adjustments.

Now, the status of the players cannot be found, and any tactics are useless.

Teams with weaknesses are like this. They can compete with the top teams in the league when they have a downwind, but when they encounter problems, it is difficult to solve them calmly like a top team like the Thunder.

And Yi Jian, ready to beat the dog in the water, competitive sports have no mercy.
