If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 337

"The Bulls can't do it anymore. Now the East is the Heat. In the West... maybe the Spurs." Yi Jian said after the game.

The most important thing for the Thunder now is to be themselves. They have the confidence to play anyone in the playoffs.

After the Bulls, the team played the Grizzlies back to back.

But they are all at home, so it feels a lot easier.

Randolph, the general of the Grizzlies, finally came back, but the state has not been adjusted and stabilized, and he is temporarily on the bench.

The Grizzlies got Arenas again in the middle of the season, but this buddy is really dead.

In fact, Arenas is only 30 years old, not old at all.

But because of injuries, he has been completely crippled.

But he is still considered good, and the second-round pick also made so much money.

Now even if you don't play, you can still receive a high salary for two years.

Just basketball, Arenas will leave regrets.

The Grizzlies are now more and more focused on defense, but they have a slightly different system from the Bulls.

Teams that play extreme defense are also prone to injuries.

While consuming your opponent, your own consumption cannot be small.

In this Conley truce, the Grizzlies started with an undrafted pick.

The Grizzlies are not strong enough to attack, and some attackers are placed on the bench.

Although the tactical style is not similar to that of the Mavericks, the purpose is similar.

So they wanted to defend desperately at the beginning, and then use Guy to open up the situation.

Gay can actually play against Durant, but he is not stable.

How to say Durant's defense, it must be much worse than offense, but he has been improving.

When Gay didn't feel so good, his indiscriminate singles didn't work very well against Durant.

It's okay for Gay to focus on defense, but if he wants to attack, he will be a little bit overwhelmed.

The point is that Guy hasn't grown up at all these years.

So every time he played Thunder, the feeling was getting worse and worse.

As long as this buddy has a better golf quotient, his achievements will be higher than what he is now, and it is not a big problem to be an All-Star.

But, he's in shape now, that's all.

The Grizzlies defended very well, and it was difficult for the Thunder to lead by a lot at once.

Compared with the Bulls who are good at defending the perimeter, the Grizzlies are actually better at defending the interior.

In order to target Yi Jian, they also slightly contracted their defense.

They actually have a way to deal with Durant, but they can't always work.

Durant couldn't score too many points, and it was difficult for Yi Jian to break out, but the Thunder can still lead all the time.

The same is true when it comes to the rotation period. Mayo and Randolph can score when they come up, but the Thunder can also score.

Both Lowry and Dragic performed well this time around. Without Conley, the Grizzlies' back line still has some problems, and Arenas was blown up on both offense and defense.

Injuries are more severe than tigers, and there is no way.

In this case, even if the Grizzlies can restrict the Thunder's two superstars, the Thunder can slowly expand their lead by relying on others to score.

Yi Jian's points can also allow other role players to score.

Not many points, just enough.

By being more familiar with the Thunder, the Grizzlies defend them better than the Bulls.

But the significance is not so great. If the Grizzlies can't attack by themselves, they are the difference between early death and late death, and they can't beat them anyway.

Defense is important in basketball, but basketball is also a game where offense dominates.

Both offense and defense are the standard for a strong team, and the offense is slightly stronger.

At the last moment of the first half, Yi Jian scored Green and the latter hit a three-pointer.

Although the Thunder's lead did not reach double digits, it still had more than 5 points.

For the Grizzlies with poor offensive ability, it is already more difficult.

In the second half, Gay scored first, but then the game entered the rhythm of the Thunder.

Durant feels okay today, and the Thunder are very easy to play at this time.

In the third quarter, the Thunder once led to double digits. The Grizzlies replaced Mayo and played a few beautiful offenses in the backcourt before the score returned to single digits.

At this time, Yi Jian was actually resting off the court.

The Grizzlies seized the opportunity, but it was difficult to do more.

In the final quarter, Durant's touch had problems.

But the Grizzlies didn't take advantage because Yi Jian was there.

Yi Jian and Jordan Jr. dominated the inside line.

The Grizzlies, who were supposed to be stronger inside, can only rely on Mayo to attack from the outside.

To be honest, Mayo's touch in the final quarter was really good.

Players who can play singles with the ball can be a threat when they are in good condition.

It's just that the Grizzlies were completely restrained inside. Randolph stayed on the court and worked hard with Gasol, but they still couldn't break the Thunder's defense.

The strength of the two is not bad, but even among the All-Stars, there are also strengths and weaknesses.

The feel that the Grizzlies can use to bully other teams is useless against the Thunder.

There is no way to do this, it is completely restrained.

At the last moment, Mayo hit a three-pointer, which once again narrowed the gap between the two teams.

However, the Grizzlies still couldn't fully catch up with the score.

At the end of the game, Lowry hit consecutive free throws, but the Grizzlies missed a three-pointer.

The outcome of the game was settled.

Yi Jian also said after the game that the Grizzlies played tough and they were tough, but the Thunder would not hand over the victory to others.

On April 4, the Thunder went to Miami to play an away game against the Heat.

This is another important game, and it is also important to feel the away game in advance.

Sometimes, with the bonus of home court advantage, some weak links will become less obvious.

The Heat changed their starter this time, Turiaf at the fifth position.

In fact, it is to try and see which one is more effective against Thunder.

The strong teams in the league now regard the Thunder as their number one competitor.

The Heat have ambitions for the championship, and they were fucked before, so they must try it out.

After Chalmers became more important this season, the Heat have four starting positions that will not change, and only the fifth position can be used to change.

In this game, the Heat did make changes.

The main thing is James, who started a three-point attempt in the first quarter to make himself more aggressive on the offensive end.

The Heat actually know where their problems are, and they also understand what they need to do to gain an advantage in the face of the Thunder.

It's just that many times, in the competitive arena, some things are not unwilling to do, but unable to do.

After being hit, the choices the players make on the field may not be completely consistent with the pre-match arrangements.

Comparing athletes are not robots, they are also afraid and hesitate.

Especially when the tactics are hit, they will become less firm.

At the beginning of the game, it is the easiest stage to play tactics, and they have not been affected much yet.

As long as the tactics are played out at this time and they are effective, the whole game will be smoother.

Now that many teams encounter the Thunder, they choose to grab the start, not without reason.

Facing the strongest Thunder in the league, if they didn't find a chance at the beginning, they might be suppressed throughout the game.
