If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 304 What to Do

"James made another mid-range shot, but this time he missed. The Heat are going to be passive."

"The Heat directly double-teamed Yi Jian, and the ball in Lowry's hand failed to pass. He shot directly, but unfortunately, it was only a little bit..."

"Bosh scored two points, hey, it's a bit close..."

"Chalmers played a good ball and caused a foul by Matthews. Chalmers performed steadily today."

"Oh, let's see, Yi Jian's shot is too subtle. He pointed the ball directly to Lopez in the air, and all the players from the Heat came to pinch him, and Lopez dunked without defense. Great, Lowry directly lobs the ball, and only Yi Jian can handle it well in the siege of the opponent's players."

"Time is running out, the Heat need to score, and Wade directly hits a three-pointer...hit! The Heat still have a chance."

"The point is, Lowry made a direct shot again, and the ball hit! Yi Jian gave a thumbs up. He is always willing to help his teammates around him become better. It's hard to imagine that Lowry, who lost the competition in the Grizzlies, has already Be good enough to be a championship guard."

"There is no time, the Heat can only choose foul tactics."

"James missed the [-]...Wade missed the [-]...Game over."

From the beginning to the end of this game, the gap between the two teams is actually not that big, and each has their own advantages in the matchup.

But Thunder still had the last laugh, and Yi Jian's performance was unique.

In points, rebounds, assists and blocks, the four statistics are the first of the two teams.

Coach Brooks also said excitedly after the game: "I don't need to repeat Yi Jian's impact on the game. He is the best player."

"The Heat are also very strong opponents. They have three star players. Yi Jian has resisted the heavy responsibility of the team, but we also have other excellent players. Durant has always maintained competitiveness. The combination of him and Yi Jian is the strongest in the league Two-man team. Lopez is an All-Star, and Lowry, Matthews, they're all great...”

Heat coach Spoelstra concluded after the game: "It is true that it is difficult to get every point in the game, and it is difficult for us to make shots."

"The way we play is the same as before, but it is difficult to gain the upper hand. Obviously this is the stage of the finals, we have to show more energy."

James also said: "Sometimes we were a little relaxed and didn't defend this team as hard as we did in the opening game. The loss made us realize that the opponent is not so easy to deal with."

"We are not worried about this. We have the experience of losing in series and we can adjust. I promise, we will play better in the next game."

Yi Jian said after the game: "I am very happy to win such a fierce game. Our morale is high to win, but we must stay focused and start preparing for the next game. On the stage of the finals, consecutive wins will not Simple as that. The Heat are great opponents, they will definitely fight back, and I'm looking forward to it."

Thunder must have attached great importance to the finals, and Yi Jian took everyone to analyze the video the next day.

This is very useful. How can we be better at both offensive and defensive ends in the game? The video is clearer than the athletes feel.

Yi Jian still had the same idea. Against the Heat, it is impossible to completely lock up the Big Three, especially James and Wade, but preventing them from driving their teammates is actually half the battle.

Both James and Wade like to break through and score the ball. It is actually better for them to only break through and not score the ball.

After all, Yi Jian can also handle the other half.

The second game is coming soon, and both teams are fighting high.

Their team, which has been staring at the championship since the beginning of the season, is actually different.

If that kind of lucky team enters the finals, they may think that they can take it if they can, and they will not lose money if they lose. That kind of possibility is almost there.

The lineups of both sides have not changed, and even the style of play has not been adjusted much.

The Heat still attacked the Big Three when they came up. The point of change is that they took more three-pointers.

Both James and Wade took shots, especially Wade, who shot less in the regular season and before, averaging less than one shot per game, but this game was very positive.

It seems to be warning the Thunder that it is not enough to defend his breakthrough.

But the Thunder's defense was unmoved. If the Thunder wanted to shoot outside three-pointers, Wade could indeed.

However, the Thunder don't need to worry about the defense of the Heat's starting lineup now, because not many of their starting lineups can shoot three-pointers.

Bosh hasn't developed a three-pointer yet. Yi Jian can defend Bosh in an area relatively close to the inside line, and also help defend others by the way.

Heat starting, only Bibby and James can shoot three-pointers.

It was Bibby who had to be guarded, and he couldn't do anything else.

The Thunder didn't care too much, Wade still didn't hit a three-pointer, but James did.

In fact, with the Heat's lineup, the Thunder will defend James from shooting three-pointers.

Even if Durant's defense is not so good, James can still find opportunities.

But James can make a hit because he feels good. Durant's height standing in front of him is also an interference.

And Durant came up this time, and he felt okay.

If it is said that the Heat are the Big Three, or the star performances of James and Wade, the Thunder have blossomed a lot.

Why is it not counted as Bosh? Bosh is really at a disadvantage against Yi Jian now, and he can't fight at all.

The Heat came up to defend Yi Jian strictly, but Yi Jian did not make any kind of strong attack for the time being.

One is because the competition has just started, so we need to save some energy.

It's also because the rest of the Thunder performed well, Lowry and Matthews both hit three-pointers.

Relying on their very team style of play, they have been slightly ahead of the Heat.

The Heat's small adjustment is actually a success, after all, James also scored a three-pointer.

However, these are not enough to help them gain an advantage.

The situation is always changing. If the Thunder's role players are as good as they are on the court, the Heat can take the lead. Unfortunately, the Thunder also performed much better this time.

With a strong team like the Thunder, we can't expect them to feel bad all the time.

After one game, the Thunder has become more accustomed to the Heat's defense as a whole.

The point is, the Heat have nothing to do.

Bosh couldn't show his strength in the face of Yi Jian, they had already thought of it.

Now that James and Wade have played, they still can't get it, how much improvement can be made by replacing the substitute players.

Heat coach Spoelstra doesn't know, but definitely has to adjust.

For example, to strengthen the defense, play the first position on Chalmers, and release Bosh on Haslem.

To be honest, although Joel Anthony is a bit short, but the defense and frame protection are still better, otherwise Haslem would not be a substitute.

Of course, Haslem was shorter, and he came up purely to consume Yi Jian and make Bosh less painful.

In addition, the team added a three-pointer during the few minutes when James and Wade led the team alone.

The Heat's tricks, that's all.
