If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 341 The Clippers Can’t Struggle
The Clippers have a great reputation as playwrights, but in the end their overall offense isn't as good.

The pace of the Clippers is still not fast enough.

Paul's habits are not the fast-paced type.

In terms of playing positions, organizers whose scoring ability is not top-notch can really only bully the underdogs.

Yi Jian now casually takes the assists leader because he has top-notch scoring ability instinctively.

How to choose the defensive team, let Yi Jian score or let Yi Jian pass the ball, it seems that everything is poison.

Many skills on the offensive end complement each other, but ordinary players can't do so much.

Human talent is limited, and it cannot be compared with Yi Jian's kind of cheating.

Of course, Paul himself is not the strongest in the league.

His rise has benefited from his weakness at the No. [-] position, just like the All-Star center can play without a weak chicken like Bynum. If the point guard is relatively weak in basketball competitiveness, even the best among them are like this.

The front line and the inside line are different, and the aggressiveness on the court is different.

The No. [-] position may have a great impact on the game, but it is really difficult to be that aggressive.

Therefore, the Clippers, who have not yet fully realized the status quo, are naturally slowly falling behind.

The only good news is that their foul problems are under control.

You know, the Clippers have no good substitutes inside.

This is true of many teams, so the Thunder's lineup is really enviable, and their insiders are too rich.

At the last moment of the first half, Paul made the last attack by himself, but he missed.

He is not good at this aspect, so many times he has no choice but to take responsibility.

If he can't do it all the time, there will be problems if he asks his teammates too strictly.

Unlike Kobe, Kobe can come by himself, and his teammates can only hold back.

Back in the locker room, Clippers coach De Nagro felt that the team still had to have two stars to help the team play offensively.

Without him, the Thunder's defense is too strong, and it is really difficult for role players to perform.

Not to mention others, even a former All-Star like Butler can't help it.

Considering that it is difficult for Griffin to face Yi Jian, Paul must stand up more.

Griffin also has to work hard. If the team's offensive and defensive ends can't effectively consume Yi Jian, they can simply surrender.

In fact, Griffin has speed and strength, so he shouldn't perform so badly.

Others thought it might be that they had little experience in the game and didn't know how to deal with a top player like Yi Jian at the same position.

But it's right to work hard. The head coach also encouraged him, thinking that he would not lose to anyone.

Griffin is indeed suffocating, who would think that a talented player can't do it.

His poor performance against Yi Jian cannot be said to be due to the difference in strength. After all, some small characters can occasionally have a brilliant performance against Yi Jian.

In fact, there are many reasons. The main reason is that the Clippers have been praised too much by the outside world this season.

The team is strong and has the ability to challenge the Thunder and compete for the championship.

Many Clippers players think the same way, so they will naturally feel pressure when they encounter the Thunder.

Griffin always wants to perform well, to prove that he can cause trouble for Yi Jian and help the team win the Thunder.

If you think too much, you will worry about gains and losses, and your playing will be even worse.

Now he has also figured it out, he has already lost and was abused in the first half, so he must fight now.

As a talented player who can be selected as an All-Star in his rookie period, Griffin is definitely not a fool.

The only problem is that he has less possession of the ball now, and he is a little unhappy.

Paul's cooperation is no more refreshing than playing with the ball himself.

In the third quarter, the Clippers' offense really improved.

Griffin played more decisively, but the key is Paul's performance.

Paul came up with a trick and made a big foul.

More shots in the first half, not accurate, a little disheartened.

In the second half, Paul had to cover, play a small hit and then make a big loop.

In addition to facing Yi Jian, it was easier for Paul to succeed against other people.

After all, for an All-Star like Paul, the Thunder will guard him closely and react greatly to his actions.

It wasn't until he came a few times that Lei Ting realized that this kid was cunning enough.

It's just that this alone is not enough for the Clippers to overtake the score.

With it, the Clippers also found it.

It's true that their offense is better, but the Thunder have been scoring, they just can't guard against Yi Jian and Durant.

It can make their efficiency drop a little, but other Thunder players can also score, making up for the reduced efficiency of the two.

The Thunder has strong stars, but the Thunder is not just a team of stars.

What's more, Paul and Griffin played better and didn't motivate their teammates.

They all have good organizational skills, but the Thunder's defense is unimpressed.

Against the two, even if they perform better, defense alone is enough.

The other Clippers players were still tightly locked up by the Thunder.

"The Thunder's defense has improved again this season."

"It's a pity that it's not a full season. They have once again set a new record for the longest winning streak in the league. If it is a full season, the winning record may be set again."

"The Thunder is really strong and has no weaknesses. It can make other teams despair."

"The real strong is like this, just like Jordan back then, and Yi Jian now. With Yi Jian around, others can only play supporting roles."

"Thunder Dynasty, Emperor Yi ascends the throne."

"Yi Jian is really invincible, and there is Durant who can score. If their combination is not dismantled, it is estimated that other teams will have no hope for a lifetime."

"The Clippers are really thunderous and rainy. Isn't Paul also the scoring leader in the past, but he didn't have as many assists as Griffin in the game."

"58 is just like his fans, they only know how to blow."

"You can't say that. As Yi Jian's fans, we have to be more humble. We can't blame the Clippers, it's just that Yi Jian is too strong, hahaha..."

Although the Clippers' two stars are playing well, they are still behind in the score. To be honest, the team has collapsed a bit.

Mentally unacceptable, they feel that they can't beat the Thunder no matter what.

This point is similar to the feelings of the fans, the Thunder is too strong.

During the rotation period, Nick Young lost his touch in the first half and hit the iron continuously.

The Thunder is different. Dragic performed well, which became the last straw for the Clippers.

The score fell behind, and Griffin withered again after the main players came on the field.

Clippers coach De Nagro was also extremely upset, so angry that he replaced a few substitutes.

In the last few minutes, the Clippers fell behind a lot and needed to score.

But their three-point attempts were completely missed, and their hopes of winning the game dwindled.

At this time, Paul's operation came.

He saw that the Thunder was strictly guarding the three-point line, so he had to cover and break through to make a mid-range shot.

The Clippers' miss of a three-pointer had little impact on the game, and Paul just scored some points in the last few minutes.

But in the game, the Clippers lost without accident.
