If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 319 Supporting the Team
It is impossible to say that the Thunder were unlucky with consecutive injuries. It can only be said that they had good luck in the previous season, and it may become normal in the shrinking season.

They are not the only ones affected by injuries. Many teams in the league are in trouble.

The start time is different, the adjustment of the players is not in place, and there are really many injuries.

Fortunately, Sefolosha's injury is not serious, just rest for a few days.

As for his position, Danny Green can already top it perfectly, and may play even better, but the rotation will be a bit troublesome.

It doesn't matter if Parsons is a rookie or not, he certainly can't hold the No. [-] position.

In this case, he can only play double guards some of the time, and Jeremy Lin has some opportunities.

This season, it seems that the Thunder's wings are indeed a bit short.

But fortunately, it's just a little trouble, and the Thunder's bench depth can still make up.

I also blame the management for being careless. They should still sign a player in the summer, or get a lottery and choose one more.

It was also because the Thunder's health was so good before that the management subconsciously thought that there was no problem.

The unexpected change of personnel made the Thunder chaotic for a while, and the Blazers took the opportunity to catch up with the score.

The Thunder have players on top, but why are they still in chaos.

The main reason is that the players' mentality is affected, including the previous loss.

After an accidental injury, the players on the field are a little worried about their teammates, and they also subconsciously worry about their own injuries. It is normal to be confused for a while. They are just strong, and they are not robots.

Before the end of the first half, Yi Jian played a few strong games before stabilizing the team.

After the halftime break, if they stabilize, they will not be greatly affected in the second half.

In fact, Matthews was also a little embarrassed.

Yi Jian didn't blame him, he even said hello before going back to the locker room.

Normal confrontation on the court, no one wants to go wrong.

In the locker room, Yi Jian talked about his health again.

It may not be easy for them this season, and there really can't be any more accidents.

In fact, compared to the field, it is more about the usual training, and you must correctly evaluate your physical condition.

"Kevin, you have to pay attention." Yi Jian looked worried at Durant's small body.

Durant made a muscular move, "Dude, I'm strong, and I'm not afraid of confrontation at all."

Yi Jian smiled, Durant is okay, but he is not that good at confrontation. Fortunately, the team has many good players, and Durant is often not needed to do more.

Some players will pay attention, and some people don't count at all. Yi Jian thinks that the coaching staff and team doctors should do their best in this regard.

Their Thunder is absolutely invincible in the league, and it would be too unwilling to be knocked down by injuries.

In Yi Jian's slightly vague memory now, it seems that except for Lopez who is more glassy, ​​the rest of the team should be fine.

Durant's body protection was also excellent in the past few years. He looks thin but has a good skeleton. Under normal circumstances, he will not be easily injured.

Maybe there is some psychological advantage. The Blazers played well in the second half.

On the Thunder's side, Durant's state has declined a bit.

Durant faced Wallace today, and he hasn't felt very good.

The former Elvis Presley was still very good on the other side, Durant is a little afraid of this now.

It may also be that he said that he didn't care, but he was still a little worried about getting hurt, which made his fight less decisive.

Yi Jian knew that it was time to stand up.

"Give me the ball, we can't lose morale if a teammate is injured."

"Their share, we will fight back together, and we will win."

Yi Jian began to keep asking for the ball in the low post and near the free throw line, and resolutely hit the inside.

The Blazers are also defending against him, but not so resolutely. They usually help defend after Yi Jian catches the ball.

Because the pioneers have always been mediocre in strength, they have not forced Yi Jian into the strongest form, so their understanding of Yi Jian is not that comprehensive.

So, Aldridge was miserable next.

The confrontation ability of the two sides is obviously different. After Yi Jian received the ball, he almost drove the opponent to the basket.

Aldridge wanted to organize a little bit, but he fouled twice.

The Blazers now have Aldridge as the core, and they are completely crushed by Yi Jian.

To be precise, it is estimated that no one can vent their anger on the current fourth position in the league.

Last year's outstanding Mavericks were willing to bow down, let alone other teams.

The defensive core like Duncan is okay, but the team has other people attacking, and the offensive core is really miserable.

After Yi Jian made a strong effort, Thunder's situation on the field immediately stabilized.

"Yi Jian is really strong, I like this kind of violent crushing."

"Thunder's luck seems to be a bit unlucky this season, but with Yi Jian around, victory is guaranteed."

"Don't let someone get hurt, I hope Yi Jian can win the three consecutive championships smoothly."

At the end of the quarter, Durant was still weak, so Yi Jian went up by himself.

After the score caught up, he played more flexibly.

The three-point line also comes over occasionally, and when it's time to shoot, he shoots.

"Defend him, don't give him any chance." Trail Blazers coach McMillan shouted.

He still pays more attention to the team's defense, so he is very upset to see Yi Jian's performance.

Can't they do their best to mark a single person?This unscientific.

It's just that they really can't do it.

And at the end of the quarter, Aldridge fouled five times without knowing it.

This is troublesome, the Blazers don't have a good backup.

Aldridge can't, but his height and wingspan can even interfere with Yi Jian.

Put Wallace on now?

Don't look at Wallace's success with Durant, but it's completely useless to match Yi Jian.

Yi Jian's power confrontation is not something that Wallace can withstand.

What Wallace is good at is not yet an opponent, and the Blazers are not easy to handle.

The Blazers used veteran Thomas to top it, but the effect was not good.

Aldridge played again in the last few minutes, but with a few fouls on his back, he played submissively.

They wanted Wallace to hit the inside line, but Yi Jian hated it.

As for the shots from beyond the three-point line, under the tight defense of the Thunder, none of them made a hit.

The key is that Wallace is really inaccurate in shooting three-pointers.

The Blazers do not refuse three-pointers, but the accuracy is really average.

In fact, the Thunder's score has not been widened, and they didn't feel very good in the second half.

If Yi Jian was not too strong, they probably would have fallen.

But on the basketball court, stars can indeed determine the outcome of the game in many cases.

When the game entered the last 2 minutes, Aldridge committed six fouls, and the Blazers' heart suddenly collapsed.

Yi Jian stood on the free throw line twice in a row, helping the Thunder stabilize their advantage.

After Aldridge went down, the Blazers lost two backcourt rebounds in a row.

The game quickly entered the final moment, and the Blazers had no choice but to use foul tactics.

After they continued to bet on the three-pointer or missed, the Thunder won.

After the game, Yi Jian talked about the injury problem. He said: "It's very difficult. But this season because of the previous lockout, many teams are very difficult. I think we can overcome our desire for three consecutive championships. Can overcome anything."
