If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 300 Killing the Dark Horse

The Grizzlies lost the game at home, and they also felt helpless.

Their head coach Hollins said: "Although no one wants to fail, no one likes to be disappointed, but both teams have been fighting, just like in hand-to-hand combat. I am grateful for the hard work and hard work of the two teams." pride."

"The game will get into the opponent's track a lot of times, which is why we lost the game. The series is not over, we will continue to work hard. But I want to say, our players are not doing badly."

Randolph said helplessly after the game: "This is a difficult loss. I tried my best to stay positive, but the game was very difficult. We lost the advantage. This is really too difficult."

Facing Yi Jian all the time, Randolph really felt that he was going to lose weight.

Grizzlies brain Conley said: "Honestly, we encountered trouble. We didn't play our own system, and sometimes we didn't know what we were going to do. But, we came here, and we won't give up."

The Grizzlies have no regrets this season, and they will fight until the last moment.

The Thunder hopes to end the series as soon as possible so that they can face their next opponent.

They are getting closer and closer to successfully defending their title.

Maybe it was because of the back-to-back fight, and in the fourth game, Randolph came up and finally felt the touch again.

Not very exaggerated, but much better than before.

Moreover, Durant has some pitfalls again, but fortunately it is the start.

The Grizzlies' overall offense will be easier when Randolph has the touch.

After all, Randolph alone attracted most of the attention of Yi Jian, the big devil, and others would not work so hard.

As a result, Gasol also seized many opportunities, and the Thunder fell behind in the start.

"The Thunder won't play a game, right? However, it's good to go back to the home court and advance."

"It's only just started. What's the rush? The Thunder have always swept as soon as they can. Now Durant has no touch. Maybe things will be different later."

"Just look at Yi Jian, so you can feel at ease."

When Durant had problems with his touch, Yi Jian did exert more force.

But soon the game took a turn for the better, and the Thunder's role players started during the rotation.

On the Grizzlies side, Mayo didn't feel it at all.

It seems that their luck is conserved, and the inside line feels good but the outside line does not.

Originally, after the Grizzlies took the lead in the first quarter, they had a chance to make another wave, but they withered during the rotation period.

The Grizzlies' inside line can be regarded as playing on the court, but it's a pity that their physical strength really can't stand it.

Even if Randolph hits Yi Jian by force, it will consume a lot of energy.

Yi Jian is an outlier in the interior, like Randolph and Gasol Jr., it is difficult to carry it like him.

As a result, the Grizzlies' lead was gone by the second quarter.

It's not enough for them to restrict Durant. Durant can also temporarily become an auxiliary when he adjusts his touch.

Other positions of the Thunder can also score.

With Yi Jian's organization, the Grizzlies are hard to defend against.

After all, even when Durant is inaccurate, it is impossible for the Grizzlies to let him shoot.

That's what superstars do, as long as they're on the court.

"I'm also good at defense..." Durant thought so.

Yi Jian didn't hit him either, as long as this guy doesn't mess around.

The Thunder chased up the score, and the Grizzlies fought desperately.

Randolph also went all out, and temporarily sealed up the pain of continuous confrontation with Yi Jian.

Of course, he would be more than happy if there was an opportunity for misplacement.

It doesn't have to be a small guard, and Randolph feels good about playing Lopez occasionally.

He now feels that as long as he doesn't face Yi Jian, he is willing to face up with other players in the league.

In the first half, the Grizzlies almost desperately tried to stabilize their advantage.

But in the end, Durant was overtaken by 1 point at the free throw line.

Durant also felt average in the second quarter, but fouling has nothing to do with the feel.

The Grizzlies fought too hard towards the end of the first half and were fooled.

Yi Jian felt that Durant was a bit of a villain, and he became more and more addicted to making fouls.

After returning to the locker room, Yi Jian half-jokingly said: "You can't relax yet."

"Kevin, have you deserted?"

"Nonsense!" Durant yelled directly, "It's just a temporary adjustment, and they will blow them up in the second half."

On Thunder's side, the atmosphere was relatively relaxed.

Yi Jian doesn't want Ye Changmeng to have many dreams, but in case of an accident, he can accept it.

The Grizzlies are different, they are much more serious.

They no longer expect to continue as a dark horse, but they don't want to be swept away either.

The point is, they look like they have a real chance of winning.

Why not win the next game and fight next year.

Does Thunder have to sweep them?They just want to fight.

But because they will end the season if they lose again, they can't be as indifferent as the Thunder.

Grizzlies head coach Hollins also continued to give the players blood, even if he felt in his heart that the series had no chance.

In the third quarter, the Grizzlies are still Randolph's main attack.

In fact, Randolph's efficiency has dropped a little, but the rest of the Grizzlies really don't have his mentality.

Randolph's mentality is still good, otherwise he would not have become a big brush before.

There are few Grizzlies players who can help Randolph, and Conley is sometimes too stable to do anything.

The Thunder is really different here, Durant's fouls are even sharper.

In this case, the Grizzlies are very difficult.

Their desperate defense meant that the Thunder didn't lead too much.

And they can't concentrate on defending in order to chase points.

Grizzlies coach Hollins is also a little tangled.

Later, he also figured it out and replaced Tony Allen.

In the last game, no matter what, let the players play more easily and attack more.

It is not reliable to replace Mayo, but the team style has indeed changed.

Although the confrontation between the two teams was still fierce, Yi Jian had a clear feeling that the Grizzlies really didn't care.

Soon, the scores of both teams were on the rise.

In fact, the percentage of the Grizzlies that can be reversed in this way is very small.

Of course, they don't change the rhythm, and the situation is similar, and it feels more enjoyable now.

The Grizzlies began to perform in the backcourt, but their inside line was a little uncomfortable.

Facing Yi Jian, Randolph played worse and worse.

Thunder's lead is also slowly expanding its advantage.

It didn't rise all at once, it was just a few points more and some points less, but the overall lead was more.

At the end of the quarter, the Thunder's lead did not reach double digits, but it was very close.

Yi Jian knew that there would be no suspense in the match.

The Grizzlies, who are fully attacking, have no three-pointers, and this cannot be changed.

Therefore, the possibility of the Grizzlies' reversal is far less than that of other strong teams.

They also tried a lot of three-pointers at the last moment, and they also hit some of them, but the combined hit rate was less than [-]%.

Finally, the whistle sounded for the end of the game, and the dark horse of the Grizzlies stopped here.
