If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 354 Observing the Battle Situation
In the Western Conference playoffs, the Thunder swept the Mavericks.

On the other side, the Spurs also swept the Jazz.

The Jazz, like the Mavericks, are too poor on the offensive end, and they don't have Nowitzki yet.

The Spurs killed their opponents without exerting their strength. The Jazz played the best game, relying on their youth to suppress the Spurs' inside line, but they still lost because they didn't make a single three-pointer from outside.

A team like the Jazz, whose tactics have fallen behind, was able to enter the playoffs thanks to the shrinking season.

If it is a normal West, the strength of the Mavericks and Jazz this season will not make it to the playoffs.

"The Spurs are obviously different from before. Their defense in the four games was good, but it was mainly because of the Jazz. In fact, their offense has changed the most." Yi Jian analyzed.

He takes the other players with him to watch the game and has discussions with them.

This is also a way to improve their strength. A strong team not only needs to be able to play, but also to be able to think.

They need to understand how to fight and how to fight to win, instead of just being tool people.

"The Spurs have played a few games, with the main force and the substitutes blooming more. Their offensive end is no longer just relying on GDP."

"There's a lot of balls that the previous Spurs just wouldn't have."

"Their role players played more boldly than before, and their shots were more determined. Some balls even looked unreasonable. This is a new characteristic of the Spurs."

"They have made a lot of changes, so they can play a good record even as the GDP continues to age. Among the teams with an aging lineup, the Spurs are the only one."

"Of course, the Spurs are also working hard to rejuvenate. They have learned lessons from previous failures. This season, our biggest opponent in the West may be them."

"The Clippers are nothing more than thunder and rain, they can't do it at all."

"If we face the Spurs later, we must pay attention to the defensive end."

"Offensively, I don't think any team can guard us."

In the series in the West, two sides ended cleanly, but two groups were too ink-stained.

It is normal for the Thunder to pay attention to other games besides regular training at this time.

After all, during the playoffs, many entertainment players are not suitable.

They are also discussing the situation in the Eastern Conference, and some aspects are no different from ordinary fans.

The Heat vs. Bucks is actually the most suspenseful group in the East.

The Bucks have just formed a two-shot backcourt. Jennings and Ellis can play a dozen, but it is difficult for others to perform against a team of the Heat's level.

In fact, the Bucks' double guns themselves are also unstable.

It is not particularly difficult for the Heat to lock them up.

The key is that the Bucks' defense is not strong, and they cannot limit the Big Three of the Heat.

"To be honest, the Bucks are actually a bit lucky to make the playoffs."

"They are in the East, and they are not very stable teams. They play an offensive style, but the offense is not strong enough. Of course, their defense is not particularly bad, but they are relatively mediocre in all aspects."

"The competition in the East this season is not fierce enough, but with a relatively short schedule, the records of the fringe teams in the playoffs seem to be slightly better."

"The Heat can kill the Bucks, both offensively and defensively, so they can sweep their opponents."

"A non-characteristic team like the Bucks is not easy to play in the playoffs, so this group still can't see the real strength of the Heat this season. However, it is an indisputable fact that the Heat are afraid of the inside defense."

"We are fairly familiar with the Heat. Combined with the playoff situation in the Eastern Conference, we can actually roughly determine their current state. It is not wrong to prepare more. If there is no accident, the Heat may still rush out of the Eastern Conference."

The Heat advanced smoothly, but the No. [-] Bulls in the East were hacked.

The Bulls and 76ers this season are both top defensive teams in the league.

When Rose was there, the Bulls were definitely stronger, but Rose can't play now.

In this case, the two sides are in a defensive battle.

The two teams with similar styles have far worse regular season records, which has a lot to do with Rose, and their positioning is different from the two teams.

The Bulls have shown confidence in the past two seasons.

In the first game of the playoffs, the Bulls also quickly killed their opponents.

However, this time Rose made a forced comeback.

Although they killed their opponents, Rose had problems again, and the next game could not continue.

Yi Jian thought that this was the most stupid thing.

This not only caused Rose to suffer more damage, but also disrupted the team's rhythm.

In fact, during the regular season, Rose did not play, and the Bulls also held the number one spot in the Eastern Conference.

If there is no comeback, the Bulls must have been prepared to play against the 76ers.

As a result, Rose made a forced comeback, and then his body couldn't stand it anymore. Other Bulls players followed suit a few times, and many times in the playoffs it was just a little bit worse.

"The Bulls' offensive tactics are not good. Before Rose took a lot of big bags. Now that Rose is not there, the 76ers' No. [-] Holiday has a great advantage. The Bulls' regular season striker Luol Deng has encountered the defensive gatekeeper again. Godara."

"Iguodala has been the boss of the 76ers for a few years, but his scoring has not been that important. This season, his scoring average is only ranked fourth in the team, not as good as two substitutes. So the 76ers have capital and The Bulls are exhausted, and Iguodala and Deng are all gone."

"And the Bulls got another scoring point, Boozer, and he doesn't have enough advantage against Brand, who has been half-abandoned. It's hard to say whether the Bulls signed Boozer. The playoffs are not very reliable."

"In fact, the strength of the 76ers is stronger than the regular season rankings. There is no difference in strength between the Bulls without Rose and the 76ers."

"Then Noah was also injured after playing a few games. The Bulls are really unlucky. This is also related to their lack of attention to the physical health of the players. Players like the Bulls who like physical confrontation will be endless if they don't care about the health of the players. injuries."

"Because injuries have affected the results, I am actually the most aggrieved, so I have been communicating with the team to ensure the health of our players to the greatest extent. Our injuries are well controlled, and we must take care of them before playing. Otherwise, Roy before and Rose now are all tragedies."

"Our athletes' bodies, we must pay attention to ourselves. Capitalists only care about money. When players are injured, they will train other players, but injured athletes will be ruined for life."

"The Bulls' injuries and strong points were restrained, but the 76ers had the advantage in the backcourt. It was only natural that they won in the end."

After watching the series between the Bulls and the 76ers, the Thunder players were also a little bit embarrassed.

The Bulls, who also relied on young people to rise rapidly, were ruined by injuries.

As Thunder players, they are really lucky.
