If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 299 Taking Over the Game
"Maintain, as long as we maintain, we are the strongest in the league, and the same is true in the playoffs."

"But it must be really maintained, not just pretending. In fact, it is not focused enough."

"Of course, there may be some unknown troubles in the away game, and everyone should be mentally prepared."

Most of the time, Yi Jian would say a few words during the intermission, and Brooks would listen to him as if he was the head coach.

However, Yi Jian's vision and analytical ability really conquered many people.

The coaching staff is often willing to communicate sincerely because they feel that Yi Jian has a level.

Such a player, even after retiring, can easily succeed in the basketball field.

In the third quarter, the Thunder still suppressed their opponents both offensively and defensively.

The difference in hard power between the two teams is still relatively large.

However, problems did arise.

The referee suddenly changed the whistleblowing scale. Yi Jian, Lowry and Lopez were all called for two fouls, which were the ones they didn't call in the first half.

Yi Jian was fine, and his foul control was better in the first half.

Lopez has been at a slight disadvantage because of the confrontation with Gasol Jr., and he has fouled already, so he can only go down to rest first.

Little Jordan can play up, but the offensive end is much less threatening.

The Thunder also requested a timeout to allow the players to adjust.

"Steady, we are leading now, as long as the offense is stable, they have no hope." Yi Jian said.

Coach Brooks nodded, he was relieved to have Yi Jian around.

After whistleblowing changes, the Grizzlies played more aggressively overall.

Whether it's outside or inside, they are desperately trying to kill inside.

This is precisely the style of play that the Grizzlies are best at, and they are like ducks in water.

Yi Jian can only maintain the utmost concentration, and he also knows how much the referee's seemingly fair call will help the home team.

If the gap between the two teams is not too big, the game can definitely be reversed.

It should not be a pure home court advantage, but the league feels that the Thunder is too strong, even if it sweeps, it can't be that simple, and something needs to be done.

The Grizzlies probably understood, so they became bolder not only on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end.

The direct consequence is that Durant's touch disappeared in the final quarter.

This is not good news. Durant's touch can be adjusted back, but there is no time for him to change in the final quarter.

Yi Jian's side naturally suffered from the strictest defense.

With the help of the whistle, Conley and Mayo played very well, and the Grizzlies really narrowed the score.

Earlier, when the Thunder had a lot of lead, it had already reached double digits, but now it has returned to single digits, and it is still decreasing.

The point is, in this way, the Thunder's hands are tied, and the role players' performance is not good.

Durant and others were restricted, and the Grizzlies seemed to be able to turn the game around without giving Yi Jian a catch and play.

Coach Brooks called a timeout again, telling the players to calm down and not to worry.

"As long as we play at our own pace, everything will be fine."

It's not bullshit bullshit, but the coach has no other way, they can't play after all.

Yi Jian stood up at this time, "Give me the ball."

So, after playing again, Yi Jian started his solo performance.

If you catch the ball from the outside, you can shoot directly before the pinch comes.

If you catch the ball in a low position, turn around and use your skills to charge.

When his teammates failed, Yi Jian directly took over the game.

In fact, he is more confident inside, but in order to make it easier for his teammates to pass the ball, he will directly and continuously switch between the inside and outside, otherwise the Grizzlies only need to defend the pass.

The Grizzlies are very good at this aspect, and they are also the league's number one in steals. It is not good for the Thunder to pass the ball a few times.

Therefore, Yi Jian continued to attack in various ways.

"It's so handsome, and the three-point drift book is also in the book."

"It's really cool for Yi Jian to play like this! No matter how far the referee whistles, he can score."

"Strong and invincible, Emperor Yi is mighty."

"Haha, throw yourself at yourself, beat Randolph and Gasol Jr., bull beep!"

"This shot is really beautiful. Conley just hit a three-pointer and the Grizzlies chased the score to only 5 points. Yi Jian's immediate response is really strong."

"One person playing a team, Yi Jian said it's okay."

"Yi Di showed that it doesn't matter if he is not in good shape, he can enter the finals by lying down with me."

In the final minutes of the game, the Grizzlies were a little shocked and a little desperate.

They are so defensive against Yi Jian, and Yi Jian can carry the team's offense on his shoulders.

Is this still human?How can it be so strong.

Even if there is a gap between everyone, it can't be so huge.

It really makes people doubt life. Many of the Grizzlies' defenses are actually a bit foul, but they still can't stop Yi Jian.

Yi Jian made it clear, and with the referee, the Grizzlies couldn't snatch the victory from him.

"Everyone work hard, we still have a chance."

"This is our territory, we can definitely win."

Time is running out, and the Grizzlies' players are also working hard.

Many times they feel that they are only a little bit short, but it seems that this little bit will never be achieved.

No matter how they defend Yi Jian, Yi Jian can still score.

They regretted a little in their hearts, if only they fought like this before and didn't fall behind so much.

"Three-pointers, now I have to shoot three-pointers..."

Time came to an end, and the Grizzlies had to try more of what they weren't good at.

The only players who have hit three-pointers in this game are Conley and Mayo.

If you want to bet three points, it must be two people.

It's just that the Grizzlies really don't have any three-point tactics. Now that they are forced to shoot, the two of them can't make a hit.

The fans of the Grizzlies at home are a little desperate at this time.

Why didn't the Grizzlies stand up to solve the problem at the critical moment?Why don't they have a player like Yi Jian?
Conley missed a three-pointer.

Mayo also missed a three-pointer.

At the last moment, Randolph shot from outside the three-point line, and there was no miracle.

In the unfavorable situation in the second half, the Thunder defeated the Grizzlies 98:91 and won the match point with an undefeated record.

Yi Jian scored 36 points, 16 rebounds, 12 assists and 8 blocks, once again playing horrible data.

In the final quarter of the game, Yi Jian could support the team alone.

Coach Brooks also praised after the game: "In order to go further, you have to do some incredible things in the game in order to be able to win the game. Yi Jian is such an incredible player. He has performed incredible performances more than once."

"Hey, we can't lose this game." Yi Jian said after the game, "We can only think this way, this is the way to do it. We played a bit difficult in the second half, but we were not afraid. Everyone desperately wanted to keep the victory. It is because of this belief that we persevered until the end."

Durant also said after the game: "Yi Jian took the burden and he took over the game."

After winning the Grizzlies again, the Thunder can finally look forward to the finals in advance.
