If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 371 You Have Tactics, I Have Stars
The Spurs' plan was successful, but not entirely successful.

"How could this be?" Popovich was not calm on the sidelines.

Not to mention that other members of the Spurs coaching staff, including the players on the bench, sighed.

Clearly they took the initiative tactically, it stands to reason that Thunderclap lost the opportunity and could only admit defeat.

The Spurs have also played many strong teams, and their opponents have won a lot.

But the Thunder is so unreasonable. No matter what happens, they resort to star tactics. Does this still require a head coach?Shameless.

The point is that it worked immediately. Who is this insulting?This is simply breaking the rules of basketball.

But, I'm so envious and jealous, why isn't a star like Yi Jian in their team.

Anger is followed by a sense of powerlessness. No matter how much you do, you are not as good as the opponent's star for a few rounds, which is frustrating.

The important thing is that the Spurs' tactics will be successful if they are used.

None of them expected to be so successful, and it still didn't work.

If they can't achieve such perfection under normal circumstances, they will definitely fail.

How can I fight this?Isn't this bullying?
Fortunately, the Spurs played well, and now we can still look forward to a wave.

What to expect, that is, the combination of Parker and Ginobili played well in the last quarter.

In this case, maybe the Spurs don't need to worry about the performance of the Thunder double stars.

Parker was in good form this time and played a little longer.

But Duncan and Ginobili still can't play that long.

The strongest lineup of the Spurs cannot be together for too long.

So they still have a bit of confidence, thinking that their strongest lineup will not be worse than the Thunder.

During the rotation period, the Thunder continued their offensive.

They are really not afraid of speed, even inside they can run and jump.

But the Spurs didn't fall behind either, they were still fast-paced and decided to be reckless to the end.

Ginobili did not live up to the coach's expectations, he performed well after he came up.

The Spurs are getting more and more outside. Except for Duncan who is uncomfortable running along, everyone else is playing well.

Both Parker and Ginobili are alive, and they are not restricted as much by the Thunder's defense at a fast pace.

It's just that if I score more points, the opponent also scores more points, so it's comfortable to play outside, but I don't know the result whether I can win or not.

After entering the final quarter, the Spurs have been switching between one big, four small and regular lineups.

Popovich still likes to play micro-management. In many cases, even the leading star can be put into micro-management, which is almost unimaginable in other teams. After all, other key leading stars must stay on the court at critical moments.

He dares to play, but there are many times when he overturns.

If it weren't for his high status in the team, he would have left long ago.

Therefore, status in the NBA arena is still very important, especially the trust of the team owner.

The Spurs' micromanagement is not special, they still maintain a fast pace.

Even if it is a regular lineup, Dior is not considered a traditional insider and can adapt to their current rhythm.

It's just that the internal line still consumes more, and it is important to switch.

If it weren't for Duncan's greater role on the defensive end, it is estimated that playing time will be reduced.

After all, in the current rhythm of the Spurs, Duncan has little effect on the offensive end, and at most it is a cover when landing.

However, with the Spurs constantly micromanaging and Parker and Ginobili both in good shape, they still lost their advantage.

Don't ask, it means that superstars are not human.

Yi Jian and Durant kept scoring, and Lowry also got involved.

It was because the two superstars were unreasonable that the Spurs' defensive attention was involuntarily attracted, giving Lowry and other players a chance.

In addition, the Thunder will not give the Spurs a chance at the three-point line now.

The Thunder's control over the three-point line was once again demonstrated.

When they restricted the Spurs to three-pointers, they missed three-pointers themselves.

The ability of a super star can’t be helped. Yi Jian can pass the ball and make strong shots with the ball from the outside. Can the Spurs players do it?
Parker is not good at three-pointers at all, he can't hit them, Ginobili may be able to, but not to that extent, and the Spurs don't have the habit of playing like that.

For the other players who are waiting for three-pointers, the Thunder's perimeter defense is very tight.

In the front, they were attacked by the Spurs' fast-paced sneak attack, which gave the opponent a chance to shoot a three-pointer. Now they are ready and return to defense very quickly.

Another reason is that the Spurs do not actually have sufficient tactical experience.

Their own hit rate is also declining.

They are considered to be in good form today, and they have only completed tactics a few times.

But even if the Spurs are in transition, it is not their habit to shoot three-pointers from the outside at a fast pace.

It felt good for a while, but it was difficult for them to play half-court consecutively.

Maybe they have no problem tactically, but the players are not robots and can't do it.

The changes in the Thunder's rhythm and the exhaustion of the Spurs' players caused the balance of victory in the end to begin to tilt towards the Thunder.

After halfway through the last quarter, the Spurs couldn't stand it anymore.

At 4 minutes and 17 seconds, Yi Jian made another three-pointer and the Thunder took the lead again.

In the first few minutes, the score was repeated.

Yi Jian admitted that the Spurs' tactics were bold and the players were in excellent condition.

But by this time, they were a bit of the end of their guns.

He has the confidence to lead the team to the end and win the game.

At this time, the Spurs had already replaced Jackson, and the offensive end became a trio of Parker, Ginobili, and Leonard. Duncan and Diaw were honest insiders.

Thunder is also swung by three people, but Yi Jian can be inside or outside, and the lethality is still different.

The three All-Stars are also more famous than the other three.

In the end, the main attacking players of the two sides actually had two pairs facing each other.

Only Yi Jian, even the Spurs, couldn't match up, and even if Duncan gave up his attack, he couldn't cause much interference to him.

Duncan's current movement is very disadvantageous to follow, so Dior can only follow Duncan to help defend.

After the Thunder took the lead, the Spurs' offense did not stop, and Manu Ginobili made a foul.

Ginobili had already come up with a trick, and he built another shortly after.

It's just that due to physical problems, a free throw was missed.

But it's not just the Spurs who can draw fouls.

In the Thunder's offensive round, Lowry also made a foul.

Next, Durant got a misplacement opportunity and also got a free throw.

In the last few minutes, the fighting was still very intense.

Both teams are waiting for their chance.

Or, to see who will be the first to be unable to hold on.

When the game time was about to enter the last 2 minutes, Yi Jian seized the opportunity to make a quick grab, used his physical advantage to squeeze out the Spurs players, successfully made a steal, and then connected with Durant to help the team expand its lead.

In this case, the Spurs still withstood.

Ginobili then hit a fairy three-pointer to help the Spurs tie the score.

At this time, Lei Ting may make mistakes if his heart fluctuates a little.

But who is Yi Jian, he is the strongest star in the league.

He was followed by two mid-range defenders who pushed the Spurs into a desperate situation.
