If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 37 Mentality

[The game data is better than the Rockets rookie Aaron Brooks, rewarding speed +1, ball control +1. 】

[The game data is better than the Rockets rookie Carl Landry, and the reward is +1 for confrontation. 】

[The game data is better than the Rockets rookie Luis Scola, and the reward is +1 for mid-range shots and +1 for confrontation. 】

In the two games, Yi Jian communicated with Yao Ming and felt pretty good.

Yao Ming is often a communicator who can make people feel comfortable.

To be honest, Yi Jian's style of play does not match Yao Ming's, but he is still looking forward to working with Yao Ming in the national team.

There is a strong center in the team, which is a feeling he can't experience in the Sonics for the time being.

The Supersonics are not stable enough now. They will face the visiting Eagles next. They did not enter the state in the first half and had no choice but to lose.

However, Yi Jian got three more welfare tasks, but Mario West didn't get the value again.

[The game data is better than the Eagles rookie Al Horford, rewarding +1 for mid-range shooting, +1 for passing, and +1 for stability. 】

[The game data is better than the Eagles rookie Axi-Law, and the reward is +1 for possession. 】

The Supersonics played their home games at the end of January and the beginning of February. This period can be said to be relatively comfortable.

On January 1, the Sonics ushered in the King's challenge.

For them, this is one of the few relatively easy enemies in the West.

Because the strength of the team is the quasi-All-Star level, the Kings have been considering whether to completely rebuild.

They didn't think about it at the beginning of the season, but now that the results are not good, their thoughts are beginning to be clear.

They intend to rebuild, and now they have contacted everywhere to get rid of the team's big contract.

The king's inside line is a bit like a twin tower, mainly because Bai Miller will play the ball in the high position on the offensive end, and they also arranged an inside line inside.

Yi Jian didn't have much pressure on the inside line of the Kings, and they couldn't help defending anything well.

Moore and Bai Miller, one is not good at confrontation and the other is slow, Yi Jian has an advantage on the offensive end.

After the game started, Durant had to feel Artest's defense first, and Yi Jian became the main attack point first.

Now many teams also know how to defend Yijian, but the Kings are the kind of team that does not pay attention to defense. They have defensive arrangements, but they will not be so persistent in execution.

So Yi Jian quickly started.

On the defensive end, no matter this game, the Kings will not play hard in the low post.

Yi Jian likes the type of defense when supporting or shooting from the outside.

"It's started again, it's started again! Watching Yi Jian's game is really cool."

"If Yi Jian's rebounding is better, it would be perfect. Every time he doesn't get a double-double, it's because he lacks rebounds."

"It's great that Yi Jian is like this. He's a power forward, not a number five."

The start was smoother for the Kings, with both Martin and Artest performing.

But with Durant's touch coming, the Sonics took control of the situation.

Yi Jian is also very envious of Durant, who knows how much easier it is to catch the ball outside the three-point line.

His ball handling has improved a bit now, but he still can't play as a guard like Durant.

From this point of view, Yi Jian is very willing to meet a player with a rookie guard.

Improve your weak links more, and there will be fewer people who can guard against him in the future.

To be honest, Yi Jian's Mickey Moore can be said to be one of the king's most active defensive players, and he is always very flexible in preventing him from receiving the ball.

But as long as he gets the ball, it will be difficult for the opponent to restrict him.

After all, his speed and strength are not bad, and he is also a talented player.

Spencer Hawes, No. 10 pick of the Kings, also played, and Yi Jian was full of fighting spirit.

"I have a hunch again, we can win." Yi Jian said.

"I think so too." Durant nodded proudly, "I've already broken their defense."

In the second quarter, the Sonics played better and better, and Durant scored 4 points in a row before the end of the first half.

The king's defense was not very good, but because of the increased attention, Yi Jian still consumed a lot of energy in the halftime.

Back in the locker room, he usually eats something to supplement.

At this time, the appetite is actually not very good, but in order to continue to explode in the second half, it must be supplemented rationally.

"The rebounds were okay in the first half, but we have to work hard in the second half."

It's not just fan relations, Yi Jian also cares about his statistics.

After all, if the inside players can average a double-double per game, their high salaries will be stable.

With the welfare tasks, his strength has improved a lot now, which is why he can still maintain his statistics after being treated specially by many teams.

But to go one step further, his current strength is still not enough.

"I can't wait..." he sighed.

It's like playing a game, always wanting to level up quickly.

So even if the team has a poor record, his fighting spirit has never been affected.

He didn't even have time to pay attention to all kinds of criticism from the outside world.

If some people are fans, others will be black, this is a natural law.

But to brag about him, he will still take a look at it often, which is a bit cool.

In the third quarter, the Kings had a shooting problem, and the Sonics took the opportunity to gain the lead.

Whenever the opponent fluctuates, you can feel how happy the team with Yi Jian is.

He is now a bit weak in scoring explosiveness, but he can always find opportunities to score.

Kings head coach Reggie Seuss looked enviously at a player like Yi Jian. If the Kings had such a player, he would dare to clamor for the playoffs.

There are far more than a few head coaches like him who envy him.

However, no one is envious until the player has not played.

When a player shows strength, regardless of whether he is a rookie or not, the coach hopes to have excellent players under him.

As for the player, he hopes to have a coach with him as the core and the tactics he likes.

The head coach of the Supersonics, Carlesimo, is actually not bad, and he did his best to train Yi Jian and Durant.

It's just that he still often acts a little bit showy.

It's fine if the level is high. This uncle's level is only average. The consequence of trying to show his level is that the opposite consequence will often occur.

The king's desire to win is not that great, but at the end of the quarter, Martin still showed his strength as the team's first strong point.

Driven by him, the Kings began to return to normal on the offensive end and became much stronger.

Unfortunately, their defense is still just as bad.

Therefore, with the stable performance of the Sonics on the offensive end, they defended the victory.

[Help the team win, far outperform Kings rookie Spencer Hawes, reward ball possession +1, three-pointer +1, block +1. 】

For a weak team like the Kings, it is normal for the Supersonics to win.

But the Supersonics are magical, and sometimes they can win against a strong team.

Two days later, the Spurs visited.

Parker was injured and unable to play, the Sonics seemed to see another opportunity.
