If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 56

[Help the team beat the Pistons, beat the Pistons rookie Rodney Stuckey, reward +1 for possession, +1 for layups, +1 for stability. 】

[Help the team defeat the Pistons, beat the Pistons rookie Aaron Afflalo, reward +1 for possession, +1 for defense, +1 for three-pointers. 】

Supersonics beat pistons, but are also expensive.

On the second day's back-to-back away game against the Bucks, Yi Jian obviously felt tired.

After playing for most of the season, it is still different from the beginning of the season.

The offensive end is okay, but his footsteps dropped a lot when defending, which led to a lot of points being scored by Villanueva.

But his performance is still better than Jeff Green.

[The game performance is better than Bucks rookie Jeff Green, reward +1 for steals, +1 for backs, +1 for stability. 】

Next, the Supersonic's Western Conference road trip was miserable. They only won the first five of the seven away games, and lost all the rest. Fortunately, Yi Jian has always gained something.

In some games, they didn't have a chance, and in some games, they were just short of breath.

During this process, Yi Jian was still very stable, but Durant scored even higher points when he felt better.

As for the rest of the team, it's really hard to help them too much.

[The game performance is better than 76ers rookie Thaddeus Young, reward +1 for steals, +1 for layups, +1 for stability. 】

[The game performance is better than the 76ers rookie Jason Smith, and the reward is stable +1. 】

[The performance of the game is significantly better than that of the Raptors rookie Jamalio Moon, and the reward bounce is +1. 】

[The performance of the game beat the Celtics rookie Glenn Davis, rewarding strength +1, mid-range shooting +1. 】

On March 3th, they finally returned to the home court. The visiting team was also an underdog. The Sonics players can be said to be relieved.

I also blame the Timberwolves for their bad luck. The Supersonic players are very upset now and need to use them to release them.

But they may not think so, after all, they may want to compete for the No. [-] pick.

Brewer is now sent to the bench again. This buddy didn't seize the opportunity, and this season is gone.

This time the Timberwolves have three guards, and they have changed two of them in the starting lineup. It is clear that they are against the Supersonics.

It is estimated that the Timberwolves have completely let themselves go by this time this season.

After the game started, they did not try to give the ball to Jefferson as much as they did last time, but took various shots from the outside.

Yi Jian smiled and said to Durant: "This is provoking us, and he wants to fight with us."

"It's just trash." Durant said disdainfully.

However, the Timberwolves feel really good this time, and it is still good to let yourself go.

They always let Gomez pull out to fight Yi Jian, and it works just fine.

To be honest, some players in the Sonics are stunned, and they haven't come out of the losing streak.

But someone on the team will always remind them that Yi Jian and Durant keep scoring, and the home fans keep cheering, which will bring back players who want to give up.

"Attack is our rhythm."

"This is also our territory."

Yi Jian's words are not wrong, the Supersonic is actually better at attacking.

In the case of confrontation, the Timberwolves have occasional sudden outbursts, but the Sonics have been very stable.

Yi Jian and Durant can keep scoring, and the rest of the team is also very comfortable with this rhythm.

Therefore, the Timberwolves took a lead in the middle, but in the first half, the Timberwolves stabilized the score.

Because the opponent's defense was really lacking, Yi Jian also hit a three-pointer in the first half.

Unknowingly, his three-pointers have also increased by more than ten points, from 52 to 67, and his attack area has also become larger and larger.

"I know the offensive game best, and it's about defending the opponent's three-pointer."

"Trust me, I have the eyes of a data analyst, and I have a panoramic view of everything on the field."

Yi Jian was bragging with his teammates during the halftime break. Unexpectedly, Durant took it seriously, and seriously echoed: "Do as Yi says, he has talent in this area."

The coaching staff is a bit like complaining, what do they want to do after listening to the players.

But Yi Jian is not talking nonsense, outside defense is very important when everyone is not defending.

In fact, it's not that he just said a few words and the team will do well.

But if he kept reminding him during the game, the team still didn't do a little better.

This is the leadership role of a star player, not only to score by himself, but also to drive his teammates and tell them what to do.

Only when there are requirements for teammates, the team will get closer and closer to the ideal.

And to do all this requires team status.

Yi Jian's current team status is good, and he is still working hard to improve more.

A star player should look like a star player. If he can't affect his teammates, it's almost a waste of talent, unless he has the cheek to find a good boss.

Some stars are strong, but not domineering enough, and no matter how hard they work, the team's record is only average.

In addition, he didn't dare to take the initiative to pick his teammates, so he could only ruin his career by following the garbage boss.

Die-hard fans of such players always feel sorry for them, but only a small number of people are touched.

Throughout league history, they've been just passing through.

Yi Jian should be taken as a warning, so he has a clear goal and planned ahead in his rookie season.

In the third quarter, the Timberwolves attacked more fiercely from the outside.

Their goals are clear, one is to target the relatively weak back line of the Sonics, and the other is to consume Yi Jian on the defensive end.

This works, but not necessarily by any means.

After all, the Sonics are very accustomed to the rhythm of the attack.

Moreover, Yi Jian is often a conductor on the defensive end. He will use his long arms to interfere with outside shots and will not spend so much energy.

The Timberwolves themselves don't have that strong pulling ability.

So Yi Jian and Durant are very efficient again, and they will both hit 20+ in the third quarter.

This is because the whole team had opportunities and they also shared the ball.

This kind of confrontation is sometimes very comfortable to play. The nine supersonics rotate, and everyone can score easily, just like a wild ball in leisure time.

It's just that you can enjoy this rhythm occasionally, and don't make it a habit.

After all, almost no defense at all is almost a sign of a weak team, and they don't want to be labeled.

"Brothers, the game is about to close, and the defense of the three-point line will be handed over to you." Yi Jian said when he entered the court at the end of the quarter.

"Yi, don't worry, we are not happy about losing."

"Hehe, not everyone can come and take advantage of our home stadium."

"As long as the Timberwolves still want to defeat us with counterattacks, just dream."

Yi Jian laughed, the current Supersonic team is really not very good, but sometimes, you can really feel the cohesion of the team.

This is good!
Yi Jian also secretly made up his mind, as long as his teammates can defend the Timberwolves' perimeter well.

The scoring thing, he won't let the Timberwolves win.

"Come on, you don't think that the defensive end can limit me."

Yi Jian turned and cut in, leaping high.

The Timberwolves' defensive players can only keep up with their eyes.
