If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 353

"Nowitzki is really strong, he scored the highest score in the game..."

"Nowitzki's offense is strong, but the defense still can't handle it, and... the rest of the Mavericks are really good."

"Nowitzki feels that his waist can't straighten up. Don't the Mavericks let him rest? I don't know if the German can still support it in the final quarter."

"I feel that the Mavericks are quite pitiful, but it's better to end soon. It is also painful to play one more game."

"Yi Jian doesn't have the habit of playing a game, Thunder is absolutely sweeping."

"Although the Mavericks have caught up with the score, it feels like they are going to collapse."

"You are not alone. The Mavericks are now relying on Nowitzki, but Yi Jian's advantage over Nowitzki is still obvious."

"Emperor Yi is going crazy!"

At the beginning of the final quarter, the Thunder suddenly stepped up their offensive.

The Mavericks caught up with the score in the third quarter, but the players were not much excited, even the fans in the stands.

Everyone knows that the series is hopeless, and even if they win this home game, the Thunder will advance.

Coming up in the third quarter, the Mavericks are already at their strongest.

But the Thunder are still improving their aggressiveness, and the Mavericks really can't keep up with the rhythm.

"Dragic hit a three-pointer and it was Yi Jian's pass."

"Sefolosha also hit a three-pointer, and it was Yi Jian's pass."

"Should the Mavericks consider adjusting their defense against Yi Jian...Yi Jian hit a three-pointer, Yi Jian's chasing three-pointer, Yigao was bold, and the Mavericks' defense didn't react at all."

"The Thunder opened up the lead again with a wave of offense, and the Mavericks requested a timeout."

At the end of the quarter, Nowitzki's breath has been vented.

After the third quarter, he sat on the sidelines to rest, and when he got up again, he suddenly found that the touch could no longer be found.

He felt a lot of fatigue, and he couldn't find the rhythm with his forced shots.

Nowitzki felt a little bit in his heart at the time, but he didn't fail to show that he couldn't make his teammates worry.

After all, the team is now relying on him for support. If he shows fatigue, the Mavericks may collapse instantly.

Nowitzki has a lot of experience, and he intends to run a few rounds on the court to restore his touch.

Fatigue can also be adjusted, and as an experienced athlete, he has various methods.

It's just that the Mavericks' bad offense didn't give him time to adjust.

The Thunder didn't give him time, and the Thunder launched a fierce attack at the beginning of the last quarter, and the Mavericks couldn't stop it.

Nowitzki was forced to attack again before he had adjusted well, but at this time he really couldn't attack.

Fatigue in the body leads to a limp feeling and lack of strength.

The opponent he faced was the number one player in the league like Yi Jian.

Yi Jian is not only offensive, he is also the league's first defensive player, Nowitzki has nothing to do.

The teammates are not strong enough, Nowitzki can only bite the bullet, and then hit the iron.

In fact, Yi Jian was still flanked on the defensive end, but he could still seize the few opportunities.

No way, his ability is too strong, and his physical fitness is too good.

Even grabbing offensive rebounds made the Mavericks helpless.

After Dirk Nowitzki missed a few shots, he tried to find a foul.

At home, he is often rich in this regard.

It's just that the action of drawing fouls after excessive consumption will be a little slower.

Yi Jian had time to react, and it was very difficult for Nowitzki to draw a foul.

Relying on the home court advantage, he got a foul, but only this time he got to the free throw line.

Nowitzki also wanted to cover and hit other people, but Yi Jian didn't give him the chance.

Nowitzki's shooting is not so accurate, with Yi Jian's speed, he can bypass the screen and defend in time.

In a critical moment, does the Mavericks have someone else to stand up?

The answer is no.

Terry's starting state was very poor. He tried and found that he still didn't feel it, so he couldn't continue.

Kidd's hand feeling is actually good today, but he has no chance later.

He tried it forcibly, and found that it was not working, so he did not continue to force it.

As for the others, Marion didn't have a basket today, and his main focus was on defense.

The same is true of the Mavericks' blue-collar interior, they can't attack at all.

When the time came to the last 5 minutes, Lowry hit a throw, and the Thunder's lead came to double digits.

Then Kidd made a mistake and was intercepted by Lowry.

Old is old. Kidd can still help control the rhythm of the game, but he is indeed much weaker in other aspects.

At the critical moment, Nowitzki shot consecutively, but they were all interfered by Yi Jian.

Finally, in the last 2 minutes, the Mavericks missed three-pointers in a row.

In the end, they were unwilling to give up hope and fouled.

It's just that it was a subconscious action, and they already knew that the game was over.

Durant missed the second free throw, and the Mavericks did not continue to attack after grabbing the rebound.

The Thunder won the game again, and the series was over.

If Nowitzki was at his peak, the Mavericks wouldn't have been so miserable in the last quarter, and they would have played some games.

It's a pity that Nowitzki is at least physically far behind the peak, and he has no choice in the end.

After the game, the head coach of the Mavericks also said helplessly: "This round of the series is a bit like last year. They are the ultimate winners. Therefore, you have to take off your hat and give them praise. They are a team that is difficult to beat. Team."

"In a way, Yi Jian single-handedly beat us, he played really well, we did everything we could on the defensive end, we used five or six different defensive schemes. We could have done a better job defending him, but he was so good that our defense was useless."

Nowitzki also had some regrets after the game. He said: "In this league, if you want to be an elite team, then you must have two or three offensive points at any time. I think, the weapons in their hands more than us."

Thunder coach Brooks said: "There is no doubt that I am very excited that we can win this round of the series. Yi Jian played an incredible game again. We can play pick-and-roll from any angle. He can find points for himself. Opportunities, but also help our outside shooters score."

"He's also a core on the defensive end, and we're lucky to have him."

Durant said: "We have been playing very tough, and we have been like this throughout the season. Next, we will maintain it and win the championship again."

Yi Jian said after the game that it was normal for them to win the series.

"We've had injuries this season, but we're still the best team, we can keep winning and we won't let our guard down."

External media also said, "This year belongs to the Thunder again. They are so outstanding but still so young."

Yi Jian's fanatical fans have already opened the record of Emperor Yi's establishment of a dynasty.
