If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 391 Sneak Attack and Necessary Luck
In the semi-finals of the Olympic Games, the Chinese team will play against Russia again.

Russia was in very good shape this time, but in the semi-finals, their offense had problems.

Kirilenko is very strong, but neither he nor Shved is particularly good at playing with the ball.

Under the situation of being suppressed by Yi Jian on the inside, Russia could only defend desperately, and then the result was the same as the group stage, being killed by Yi Jian.

The Chinese team entered the final again in the Olympics, and their opponent, of course, was the US team.

Durant has already sent a message arrogantly, "Yi Jian, we will beat you again."

Before losing to the United States in the Olympics, Durant was not there, but he had a good time at the World Championships.

The US Olympic team has a stronger lineup, so Durant naturally wants to win Yi Jian again.

Although the two are teammates, Durant is still a little jealous of Yi Jian.

There is no chance to suppress him in the league for the time being, so let's find some feeling in the national team.

On August 8, the Olympic men's basketball gold medal match started.

In the previous bronze medal battle, Russia, under the leadership of Sheved and Kirilenko, beat Argentina.

Argentina lost even though Ginobili, Delfino, Nocioni and Luis Scola all scored in double figures, and Argentina's golden generation came to an end.

This year's US team has a strong lineup. On paper, it feels stronger than it was four years ago.

The more mature Paul, plus Kobe, James, and then Durant squeezed Anthony to the bench. The only weak link was the inside. Howard didn't come, but Chandler was enough.

Most of the time, the U.S. team has a small lineup, using Love inside, or not using inside at all.

They have several superstars, and they have the confidence.

However, this US team is not invincible. In fact, their running-in is not very good.

This can be regarded as a common problem of the US team. Sometimes it is difficult to choose when the strength is too strong.

Compared with four years ago, Kobe has fallen from the peak, and there is no super substitute Wade.

But the addition of Durant will make the Chinese team's perimeter defense more difficult.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, it is difficult for the Chinese team to grasp the weak link of the US team, and it will not be the opponent of the opponent.

After consideration, the Chinese team still sent a lineup of one big and four small.

Without him, the U.S. team is too fast-paced, and it would be better if the lineup is younger.

After the game started, Yi Jian won the jump ball.

For the first ball, he received the ball at the top of the arc as before, and then suddenly started. He made a forced start and directly blocked Chandler, which also ignited the enthusiasm of the fans at the scene and watching the live broadcast.

"I said, you can't let him play like this, it's best not to let him catch the ball." Durant said displeased.

As an opponent, he didn't want to see Yi Jian always showing off.

James also pulled his face and said: "Hurry up in the pincer attack. In addition to winning the victory, we also need to lock Yi Jian."

Speaking of which, except for Durant, the starting lineup of the US team was abused by Yi Jian in the playoffs. It can be said that the hatred is as deep as the sea.

The players on the bench for the U.S. team are good. They are either stars from the Eastern Conference, or the team has a poor record. They did not make it to the playoffs and were only abused in the regular season.

Of course, the US team wanted to strangle Yi Jian, and almost all the players agreed.

The head coach only wanted to win, and he had no obsession with restricting Yi Jian to what extent.

However, the players thought that the coach didn't understand Yi Jian, and they were afraid that Yi Jian would make something wrong.

The players of the US team are still very united towards Yi Jian, but most of them are the bosses of various teams. It is no problem to abuse food. They can play like an All-Star, but it is actually difficult for them to play their best when they are in trouble. The full strength of the club, because it has not been run-in to that level.

Newcomers like Durant are also somewhat dissatisfied with the old seniors.

Now that Yi Jian came up to play, several starters of the US team were also somewhat dissatisfied with Chandler, who was the weakest in the lineup.

Chandler is originally a defensive type, but he is not heavy enough, and he often cannot stand up to big centers from other countries, which is embarrassing.

But after all, the game continues.

It was the American team's turn to attack. Paul advanced with the ball and then passed it to James. James did not force a cross and passed it to Kobe.

However, Kobe didn't force his shot either. He passed the ball to the inside in the air, and Chandler took the ball for a layup.

It's just that Chandler didn't think of Yi Jian's deterrent power in the penalty area. It seemed that Yi Jian was still watching Kobe and didn't turn around.

Yi Jian's big hat Chandler also scored a rebound, directly counterattacking quickly with the dribble.

The US team returned to defense quickly, and several people reminded their teammates to pay attention to defense.

Then make Yi Jian to break through with the ball, pull it up one step from the three-point line, and hit a three-pointer directly.

But the U.S. team is the U.S. team, and Durant also hit a three-pointer when he came back.

Yi Jian clapped his palms and shouted: "Three points, three points, don't worry about the rest."

When the Chinese team attacked again, they did not cooperate as before.

Liu Wei went over with the ball, Yi Jian pretended to step forward to cover, but in fact the two passed the ball hand to hand, Yi Jian took a big step sideways after receiving the ball, and made another three-pointer.

To be honest, the US team is a little confused now. Does the Chinese team want to bet three points?

Whether Yi Jian is in the Thunder or the national team, he rarely plays like this.

Therefore, the secret of Yi Jian's three-pointer is completely unknown to others.

I only know that he is good at three-pointers, and he has to defend from outside the three-point line, but I don't know that Yi Jian can hit 100% of his shots under certain conditions.

The opponents he encountered in the three-point contest were not good, and he never showed too much strength. As an insider, he felt that he was the most aggressive at the basket, so he scored two three-pointers at the beginning, but the opponent did not realize the problem.

The American team's offense encountered trouble again. James was worried about Yi Jian's interference when he made a layup, but he couldn't make progress.

After Yi Jian got the rebound, he advanced quickly. This time, the American team was very careful in defense and did not give him a chance to directly make a three-pointer.

And just when Yi Jian slowed down and seemed to be playing tactics, Ding Jinhui who came from behind gave him a cover, Yi Jian made a breakthrough posture, then took a step back, and hit a three-pointer.

Just after the start of the game, Yi Jian scored 11 points.

The US team already felt something was wrong, but couldn't figure out what was wrong.

The head coach Old K reminded the players not to worry, but to play the US team's own basketball.

In the next attack of the American team, Paul did not pass the ball directly. He broke through with the ball and wanted to cooperate with Chandler, but the tacit understanding between the two was not so good, and Chandler missed a hit after receiving the ball.

After the Chinese team got the rebound, it was Yi Jian who advanced with the ball.

Now the US team has paid attention to Yi Jian's three-pointer, and the two double-teamed them while retreating.

Yi Jian didn't wait for cover this time, he quickly changed direction with the ball, then stepped back sideways, and pulled it up again.

Kobe rushed over desperately, causing a little interference.

But the ball still flew into the basket, which is the luck necessary for victory.
