If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 369 Star Ability
"Yi Jian received the ball from the outside line, went straight in and took a step to face the flanking attack, Parker's ball pulled people..."

"Every game is another pincer against Yi Jian. This time, Yi Jian points the ball to the inside. Little Jordan hits a small one, and Neil can only foul."

"Durant also caused opponents to foul after receiving the ball. The small lineup played a good offense every game, but the defensive end did have a lot of hidden dangers. Fortunately, there were not many fouls before each game."

After playing again after a timeout, Yi Jian performed much stronger.

In fact, if it's just a small guy coming to flank him, Yi Jian can just pull it out.

In this case, no matter whether it is two people or a few people, they can't stop him.

And Durant is also more likely to get misplaced singles opportunities, and the small Spurs will definitely not be able to stop him.

After the Thunder played harder at the two strong points, the Spurs were clearly in trouble.

When Yi Jian can defend against the three-point line, the Thunder don't even need to adjust the lineup.

But the Spurs had no way out, and they didn't adjust their lineup any more, they just fought to attack.

In the last half of the quarter, whoever can seize more opportunities will have the last laugh.

Because of Duncan, Yi Jian didn't go inside to catch the ball.

It is also easier to catch the ball from outside. Yi Jian can either come directly to catch the ball, or break through to shoot or split the ball depending on the situation.

At the critical moment of the game, Ginobili and Duncan also played well, and the tension of the game was directly full.

When the Thunder easily took the lead before, no one would have guessed that the game between the two teams would be so intense at the last moment.

This also wakes up the Thunder. An experienced team like the Spurs cannot be underestimated.

The team that can have the last laugh without relying on superstars to score points shows that there are many means.

In the last 5 minutes, Yi Jian hit a free throw and the Thunder took the lead.

When the time came to the last 2 minutes, Ginobili scored 2+1 and the Spurs tied the score.

Next, Yi Jian sent an assist and Lowry hit a three-pointer.

Ginobili felt hot at this time and hit the ball again.

However, when it was Thunder's turn, Yi Jian hit another three-pointer.

The Spurs really struggled when defending Yi Jian. Double-teaming is a must, but they also have to guard against his passes.

Sometimes, after hesitating for a few tenths of a second, Yi Jian hits the shot.

After Yi Jian hit a three-pointer, it became more difficult for the Spurs.

Now that time is running out, they still chose to let this fiery Ginobili attack after a timeout.

But this time Ginobili made a mistake under the Thunder's tight defense.

Thunder organized a counterattack, Yi Jianchang made a direct hit with two points, and the Spurs had nothing to do.

When time is running out, the Spurs can only bet three points.

Leonard got a shot, but he missed.

Then the Thunder began to press time, and the Spurs could only use foul tactics.

After another three-pointer, the Spurs have basically lost the chance to win.

At the last moment, they played five players who could shoot three-pointers. Although Jackson hit a shot, it was too late, and the Thunder still won the opponent by 5 points.

After the game, Popovich regained his composure, and only said lightly to reporters: "They played very well. They played like they were playing the last game, whether it was on the offensive or defensive end."

Parker said after the game: "We will watch the video to see what we can do better. However, their energy and enthusiasm for playing tonight must be much better than ours."

Thunder coach Brooks said after the game: "In the face of their counterattack, we played aggressive enough. We are a team that emphasizes physical confrontation, and we have to stick to that style of play. If we don't try our best , we wouldn't be in our best game."

Brooks believes that the Thunder once encountered a crisis because the players relaxed.

On their home turf, they are capable of doing better.

Durant, who played relatively stable in the game, said after the game: "We played harder, and we tried to protect our home court. This is what we want to do. We just want to win, so we try our best to play. ...to keep the focus on the field itself, and that's what we did tonight."

Yi Jian said half-jokingly: "I feel that the team is still playing well. I'm glad they let me find the middle balance between scoring and scoring, so that I can continue to improve."

In this game, both teams had problems.

And the second game, just two days later, depends on who can adjust better.

However, sometimes it is not possible to adjust after seeing the weak link. Sometimes, if one area is adjusted, another aspect may not be able to play well.

After all, the game still depends on the performance of the players, and many things cannot be predicted.

In the second game, the Spurs changed their tactics and attacked directly instead of defending.

The Spurs may be a little bit defensive against other teams, but they still can't stand up against the Thunder.

The offensive end is similar, it depends on how the Spurs choose.

They should still hope to achieve a balance between offense and defense, but this time it starts with offense.

And their decision to start from the offense may also have something to do with the player's state. Parker feels good in this game and is very stable in the middle distance.

In this case, the Spurs began to focus on the outside and did not allow Duncan to attack more.

Duncan led the inside to concentrate on defense, and Parker led Leonard and Jackson to attack.

During the rotation period, with Ginobili and Neal, Mills basically had no chance to play, and the Spurs' outside offense could continue.

Only a star like Duncan is willing to cooperate with the team's tactics and play support when it is time to play support.

If the situation is not right and the old man needs to work hard, Duncan can also explode briefly.

The Spurs are definitely lucky to have a player like Duncan. Of course, the team and players are also very successful.

Parker has speed and is really difficult to guard when he is in good shape.

But the Thunder didn't worry too much. After all, a defender like Parker has a relatively simple offensive style, and it's never too late for them to increase their defensive strength.

Without a three-point guard, the threat is not that strong.

The Spurs choose to be more offensive, and the defensive efficiency will naturally be worse.

They didn't have much flanking at the beginning, so Yi Jian and Durant also let go of their hands and feet to attack the Spurs.

On the offensive end, the Spurs showed their status first, but the Thunder won in stability.

With Parker's main offense, the Spurs have not changed as much as they have entered the rotation period.

And their other outside lines did not perform too well.

The Thunder's output was stable, and when it came to the rotation period, they caught up with the score.

It's just that the team's players other than the three All-Stars did not perform well, so they didn't overtake the score and take the initiative.

Compared with playing, the Spurs have slightly increased the playing time of the main lineup, which is obviously increasing.

"Stay focused and keep consuming." Yi Jian conveyed a message to his teammates.

After he broke out, the Spurs couldn't stand to pinch him again.

In fact, if Yi Jian loses his temper, he won't be afraid of general pincer attacks at all, but he is relatively calm, and it is better to stabilize before the time comes.
