If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 316
"Just play like this, you have to believe in your sweat." Yi Jian encouraged his teammates.

His pass is indeed very comfortable to catch, and the Grizzlies flank him is not very meaningful.

It's just to let Yi Jian have less data, Yi Jian doesn't care at all.

Besides, when it comes time for him to score, it's not like he can't attack.

It's just that there is no need to consume so much in normal times. Yi Jian pays more attention to his health during the regular season.

The schedule is relatively tight, and it is the beginning of the season, neither Yi Jian nor Durant have played for that long.

In the battle of the rotation lineup, the performance of the two sides was similar.

The Thunder are better overall, and the Grizzlies have a sixth man like Mayo.

But when the main players played again in the second quarter, the Grizzlies were abused again.

"It feels similar to last season's playoffs, and there is still a clear gap between the two teams."

"Gay came back and didn't feel much change in the Grizzlies."

"The Grizzlies should have been lucky last season. Their own strength was only average."

Finally, it was the outside world's turn to talk about the Thunder's opponents relying on luck. After all, the strength of the Thunder is beyond doubt, so it must be the other teams.

Competitive sports are so realistic, and you can get a halo if you play it.

"Go on, win this game." Yi Jian gave his assist and high-fived his teammates.

A team like the Grizzlies with poor three-pointers, even if they defend well, are destined not to be their opponents.

Yi Jian analyzed very thoroughly and played more relaxedly.

The beginning of the season has to gradually increase the difficulty. He is passing more and more now and it is good.

Randolph wanted to fight him inside, but Yi Jian didn't give him much chance.

At the end of the first half, Gay missed free throws, and the Grizzlies trailed by nearly double digits.

Back in the locker room, Yi Jian also asked about the situation of the others.

After all, they are playing away games, and their opponents are the type who like physical confrontation.

"At the beginning of the season, the intensity is increased, so be careful not to get injured."

"To be honest, our team's injuries are under control really well. Yi's nagging still has some effect."

The Thunder entered the second half with a relaxed attitude, and the Grizzlies' adjustment was to work harder on defense.

This season, the Grizzlies can be said to be focused on defense.

While trying to limit Yi Jian and Durant, they are also blocking the Thunder's three-pointers.

It's hard to do well at the same time, and the Grizzlies work very hard.

Even Yi Jian felt that the opponent had worked too hard.

It's not that hard work is wrong, but that the physical condition of the athlete must be considered.

Coming into a longer summer than ever, not all players are in shape.

If the start is too ruthless, some people will not be able to hold on, and Randolph, who has more flesh, feels this way.

However, the Grizzlies are short of inside personnel, and both black and white bears have to fight against each other.

The Grizzlies actually played well in the third quarter, and the defense was very good.

The Thunder relied on Yi Jian and Durant's mid-range to score some points, and the opponent controlled the basket and the three-point line very well.

Even on the offensive end, none of them can stand up, so the defensive effect is also discounted.

Only defending but not attacking, or only attacking but not defending, are both ways of getting twice the result with half the effort.

It may be difficult to achieve both offense and defense, but it saves a lot of effort on the court after doing it.

Otherwise, even if the extreme approach achieves results in the regular season, it can only be hated in the playoffs.

Some teams may have no choice, and some teams may simply want to take shortcuts.

At the end of the quarter, Gay, who was very active in front, became a little sluggish.

The quasi-all-star level cannot go further, obviously there are many shortcomings.

Gay is like this, looks very good, but when the team needs him, he is not so reliable.

So Randolph stepped forward, trying to stabilize the situation.

It's just that Yi Jian didn't want to entangle with him too much before.

Now the other party wanted to be a hero, Yi Jian would definitely not agree.

Randolph is heavier, but accidents don't take advantage.

After the two confronted, Randolph made a move, and Yi Jian could stretch out his long arms to interfere.

As a result, Randolph did not perform much except for a lucky three-pointer.

There are no insiders who can perform well against Yi Jian, but now they are gone.

When the Grizzlies have no one to help the team stabilize the offense, the result is already doomed.

Just like last year's playoffs, the Grizzlies are no match.

After the game, Grizzlies coach Hollins also said helplessly: "We didn't shoot many three-pointers. We are not a team that is good at long-range shooting. We really want to have a few stable three-point shooters, but unfortunately we don't. "

Hollins knew the Grizzlies didn't have a three-pointer against the Thunder, but he was wrong.

It's not that they don't have pitchers, but they don't support them tactically, and the team doesn't pay attention to them.

Some of their teams go to other teams and still shoot a lot of three-pointers.

But in the Grizzlies, due to tactical constraints, they can only shoot very few shots, and they will not be very accurate.

Yi Jian said relaxedly after the game: "It will not be easy to beat the Grizzlies. They still remember the grudges in the playoffs. But we will win, which is great."

Durant didn't shoot well at the beginning, but he played better and better later on. He also said after the game: "As a player, I am more mature, and my performance in the whole game will not be affected by the slow heat."

After the away game, the Thunder returned to the home court to play back-to-back games, but the second game at home was still slightly better.

Mentally, during the trip, you will be more comfortable.

They still have to face the strong team in the West, and the opponent is the Mavericks.

The Mavericks' lineup has changed, and owner Cuban still wants to save money.

Cuban is not stingy with some players, but he is also unwilling to give money to many players.

He was unwilling to give more to Nash at the beginning, and it was only normal for Chandler to leave.

Yi Jian had already guessed it. After all, in history, Chandler was never left behind as a hero for winning the championship, let alone now.

Butler, who didn't have a strong sense of participation, left, and Barea, who was on the bench, also left.

It's okay for Butler to leave, but Barea's departure still has an impact.

After all, Terry is a bit old, and the Odom that the Mavericks got is actually old, and he is not in good shape with the Lakers. The Lakers will let him go, and the Mavericks thought they made a profit.

When the Mavericks sign up, they often can't see themselves clearly, don't spend the money that should be spent, and spend what shouldn't be spent indiscriminately.

But they can still choose core players, so they are still a strong team.

In addition, they signed Carter, which is not a bad signing.

Carter is now cheap, not bad.

Their defensive perimeter Stevenson also left, and the lineup can be said to have changed a lot.

The current Mavericks are really not that strong, and the start is not smooth.

Nowitzki actually feels very good. Nowitzki's strength is actually declining due to age, but at least he is still at the All-Star level. It is not difficult to play at the level of a superstar for a while.

However, no matter how good his touch is, facing Yi Jian, it is difficult to have too many chances to make a move.

Defending Nowitzki, to some extent, is actually easier than facing Randolph.

Comfortable without much physical confrontation.
