If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 388 It's Late
In the second quarter, in fact, Spain's style of play has changed.

They were forced to, after all, none of the three major powers in the inside line could be presumptuous in front of Yi Jian.

It is possible to bully the rest of the Chinese team, but if he plays too much inside and slows down the rhythm, it is easy for Yi Jian to grab the rebound and counterattack if he fails.

When two points were not as good as three points, Spain gradually focused on Calderon, Navarro, Fernandez and others, and launched a confrontation with the Chinese team on the outside.

In the case of confrontation, Spain's scoring ability immediately increased.

The defense of the Chinese team's outside line is still not interesting.

However, the score gap between the two teams has not narrowed.

When the Chinese team played first and fourth juniors during the rotation period, their ability to push and counterattack is too strong.

It was also at this time that Spain realized that they still didn't understand Yi Jian.

Neither the previous duels nor the impressions of Gasol and other NBA players made their entire team realize what a terrible opponent Yi Jian was.

Maybe if there is a second game, they can do better.

But now, they really don't know what to do.

In the first half, Yi Jian scored 23 points and assisted his teammates many times.

The ability to control the rebound is even more invincible.

Spain has been unable to find a better way since it was attacked by surprise.

Of course, if there is no critical strike at the beginning, their situation may be much better.

After all, falling behind is about the same as the score, and the players feel completely different.

"It shouldn't be like this..." During the intermission, Pau Gasol was also depressed.

Even Ibaka, a teammate, never imagined that Yi Jian could do this.

"When Yi was in the Thunder, he suppressed his desire to attack." Ibaka sighed.

They all know that Yi Jian is very strong, especially Ibaka, but they really don't know that he will be so strong.

During Lei Ting's usual confrontation training, Yi Jian did not achieve this level.

In a cup game like the Olympics, the performance of superstars has a greater impact on the outcome.

Because they only need to win one game, then superstars can play in a more aggressive way.

"Why did we meet the Chinese team first..." The Spanish players couldn't figure it out.

Had other teams tested the waters first, they would have been more cautious.

But even now, Spain did not think about whether to attack without the ball in the second half.

After all, even if there is no ball double-teaming, Yi Jian may not be unable to get the ball.

The three-pointer of the Chinese team also made the Spanish coaching staff worry a lot.

If the Chinese team had been playing iron outside, they would have tried it long ago.

Now, the double team without the ball is likely to be done by the Chinese team.

And now in the locker room of the Chinese team, Yi Jian has been communicating with his teammates.

Compared with the Thunder, he is now in charge of more details.

How to move, how to pass the ball, those details can be done better, he will chat with the players.

After all, the competition of the national team is still different, the gap between the players' level is even greater, and Yi Jian needs to give them more help.

And in order to win, Yi Jian doesn't need to take care of his teammates' data.

Now it's not about playing in the professional league, but about fighting for the country, and everything must make way for victory.

Yi Jian has enough status in the national team, he won't allow anyone to get mad.

In the third quarter, Spain wanted to take care of both offensive and defensive ends, and also wanted to consume Yi Jian. They wanted too much, and the game was not as smooth as before.

The Chinese team took the opportunity to make consecutive hits, and the lead suddenly came to double digits.

The Chinese team's current three-point play is really easy to make the opponent dumbfounded in a few rounds.

If it weren't for Spain's defense, they might have collapsed.

After the score gap between the two teams became larger, Spain put aside its messy thoughts and started attacking wholeheartedly.

In fact, their choice was right. If Spain attacked with all its strength, the Chinese team would not be able to defend against it.

If they had fought each other from the start, the outcome of the game could have been unpredictable.

But now, they are still a bit late.

After all, they were still unable to solve Yi Jian's strong point well.

"How does it feel, the national team is much stronger, this kind of offense, I thought it was the peak running and bombing the sun in a trance."

"I feel that after Yi Jian led the national team, the mental outlook of the entire national team has changed."

"The national team is the right way now. Basketball games should focus on shooting."

"This game is really cool. From the beginning, we played against Spain."

"Get rid of Spain and win the first place in the group, so that we will not meet the US team until the end."

"Quack quack, this time I'm finally not in the same group as the US team, let's go for the Chinese team!"

As the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the Chinese team took Spain lightly.

Yi Jian scored a triple-double just like he was in the Thunder.

He said modestly after the game: "Spain is one of the top teams in this Olympic Games. We were lucky to win. We will continue to play offensive basketball and strive for better results."

It is better that Yi Jian did not do much, because they have already won medals in the Olympic Games.

Where the Chinese team can go depends on luck.

Two days later, the opponent of the Chinese team in the second game was Russia.

Because the outside line is relatively weak, it is not easy for the Chinese team to meet every opponent.

Russia's perimeter Sheved, Kirilenko and others are difficult for the Chinese team to deal with. Fortunately, Yi Jian is an absolute strength, which can help the team on both offensive and defensive ends.

"Everyone, be more confident, we will attack from the beginning." Yi Jian encouraged his teammates.

The team's starting lineup in this game will change, mainly because they are older, and it is difficult to support such an intensive game.

Especially now that the Chinese team is playing promotion and can't keep up, so Yi Jian directly took the fifth position in the second game, partnering with Ding Jinhui.

The first battle was successful, and the Chinese team became bolder in the second battle.

They began to look at the feel first, and if the situation is good, they will use a smaller lineup next.

Yi Jian can handle the inside line by himself, it's that simple.

If five players who are good at three-pointers stay on the court, the Chinese team can take an absolute advantage in a few minutes after a smooth start.

In an arena like the Olympics, few teams can respond.

This is also the reason why Yi Jian pays more attention to the skill of the card dealer. Improving the hit rate of his teammates is the best way for the weak to defeat the strong.

The Chinese team got off to a good start, with Yi Jian making one shot and one pass to help the team lead.

However, Russia is also in good shape, and Sheved made consecutive shots.

His height is obvious on the back line, the same as Sun Yue, but his shooting is better, no wonder he will be directly valued by the NBA.

"Don't give three points, try to force them in." Yi Jian loudly commanded his teammates to defend.

He doesn't mind more people coming in to challenge him, because he won't give his opponent any chance.
