If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 370
Wow, Yi Jian hit a three-pointer.

The Spurs focused on the outside today, but the Thunder still have the advantage in three-point shooting percentage and number of hits.

The Spurs also pay more attention to three-pointers, but facing the Thunder's defense, they really can't show their normal level.

The Spurs just pay attention, and the Thunder can be said to be experts.

The Thunder stars played steadily, the Spurs Parker played at a super level, and the role players scored more. The two sides were evenly matched in the first half.

"I didn't expect that the Spurs' game is pretty good to watch now, and the offensive coordination is a bit dazzling."

"The Spurs are no longer purely defensive, but the Thunder's ball is still better. I like to watch the stars kill the Quartet in the playoffs. The Spurs' GDP has no such ability."

"The main reason is that Parker played well today, and scored two points. It feels a bit like the peak a few years ago."

"It's a bit early to say that the performance was good in the first half, and the Thunder will fully exert their strength in the second half."

"I always feel that Leiting will hardly go all out now. It has been a long time since Yi Jian rushed to the inside like before."

"You can't say that. Yi Jian's skills are much more comprehensive now, and he doesn't need to fight like that."

"It still feels like I'm not pushed to that point. I've noticed a pattern. When Yi Jian is still passing the ball lightly, the game is not so critical. The real decisive moment, Yi Jian will still come by himself."

In the process of the two teams coming and going, the first half of the game was over.

In the attack at the last moment, neither side made a hit.

They are all teams that have a good control over the game. Knowing that it is easy to lose focus at the last moment, they played very seriously at this stage and did not give the opponent any chance.

Although it was due to Parker's super-level performance that he was comparable to the Thunder, the Spurs were quite satisfied with the team's performance in the first half.

Parker is the player with the most balls for the Spurs, and he can actually drive the team if he plays well.

The ideal state for the Spurs is that Parker and Ginobili can support the offense, and Duncan can support the defense.

What the Spurs hope is that more players can participate in the second half and gain an advantage on the offensive end.

"Basketball is a team game. As long as each of us does our job, it's no different against the Thunder, which has the best record in the league."

"We are also a member of the Western Conference Finals, why didn't we go to the championship stage?"

Good performance away from home, which really gave the Spurs confidence.

And the young Spurs are willing to take responsibility.

The young people introduced by the Spurs in recent years, whether they are inside or outside, are still daring to play.

Perhaps it has something to do with the atmosphere of the team. Duncan has a good temper, and the rookie won't say anything if he shows off, so young people dare to show off.

If the boss of the team has a bad temper and doesn't give the young people so much possession, the situation will probably be different.

However, sometimes this can cause problems too.

Who will play at the critical moment, the rookies have divided the ball, can the core players maintain their form at the critical moment?Let the young people come, do they have the strength?
Any choice will bring problems, but the situation is different, it depends on what the team is willing to do.

The Thunder didn't play so well in the first half, mainly because the role players were restricted, and the secondary willingness was Parker's performance.

After all, Parker's two points is a weak area set by the Thunder's defense estimation. Most players in this area are not good at it. It is a relatively difficult score. The player's defense will deliberately guide the opponent to do so.

But Parker is in excellent form, and the Thunder's defense will still be fine-tuned.

It is enough for Parker to get into the three-point line a little bit closer. The Thunder have an inside defense, so they are not very worried about the opponent's breakthrough.

Others still need to be resolved with offense.

The team's offense and defense must be balanced, but basketball itself is still a game in which offense dominates.

In addition to the team's three All-Stars, role players must also play.

After all, it is already the stage of the Western Conference finals. It is not as easy as before to win the opponent. The players on the team must do their jobs well.

It is best to be able to play offensively, if not, improve the defensive level.

Whether it is consumption or anything, they must have the last laugh.

If home victory is not guaranteed, the series will have variables.

Yi Jian doesn't like variables, he will definitely exert more force in the second half.

He wanted to see if the Spurs' old arms and legs could stop him.

"This is Oklahoma City, everyone should be decisive on both offensive and defensive ends." Before playing, Yi Jian encouraged others loudly.

Once on the court in the second half, the Thunder's defense caused the Spurs' turnovers and scored counterattacks.

However, the Spurs were not affected by this.

They have a faster pace in the second half, and sometimes they finish the offense before the inside players can keep up.

Those who didn't know thought that the Spurs really dared to make changes when they met the sun before.

The traces of the Spurs' defense in the past were too obvious, which led to the impression that they were still defensive after a long time.

In fact, they have long changed with the changes of the times. A powerful utilitarian head coach like Popovich is more adaptable to the changes of the times than those head coaches who want to create a classic tactic to become famous.

He can say that he hates three-pointers, and then designs various three-point tactics in the game.

Just abandon it if the defense is not enough, and they are willing to give unique players a chance. Apart from being reluctant to pay the salary, the Spurs meet the criteria of a winner.

They came up in the second half and caught the Thunder by surprise again. Yi Jian is not a professional head coach, and Brooks is still a little less experienced. They were caught off guard.

But the Spurs are bold and bold, the key is that they played out.

Many players change their rhythm suddenly, and they will only cause problems by themselves.

The Spurs suddenly increased their tempo, and Duncan barely participated in the offensive end. As a result, Leonard hit a three-pointer, Diaw hit a three-pointer, and even Parker hit a three-pointer.

The Spurs took the lead and almost killed the Thunder.

But Thunder quickly slowed down, and they also speeded up.

Unlike the Spurs, they rely on their stars.

Yi Jian scored a three-pointer, and Durant also scored a three-pointer.

The Spurs are blooming more in the fast pace, and the Thunder's two stars are scoring various points from the outside and inside, and they can't prevent it.

During the Spurs' wave, they almost led by double digits.

They thought they could win the game if they stabilized.

As a result, they soon discovered that for the Thunder, the difference of nearly 10 points was nothing at all.

Yi Jian and Durant can stay on the court longer, they scored consecutively, and the score gap disappeared soon.

The point is, the Spurs can only attack one wave.

After the Thunder reacted, it was not so easy for them to hit three-pointers from the outside. The Thunder were not afraid of the fast pace at all.

But the Spurs can't enter the state of strict defense again, because the fast pace also consumes energy.

At the end of the quarter, the Thunder's physical advantage was revealed again.
