If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 69 Nowitzki is on his own
This point of Yao Ming of the Chinese team will be a strong point no matter which team he meets. Yao Ming's strength in the interior has been fully tested in the NBA.

It is difficult for any team to defend Yao Ming alone, but how to deal with Yao Ming, some NBA teams have already given the answer.

Therefore, the United States and Spain have successfully defended Yao Ming before, but not all teams have this ability.

The German team looked very strong inside, but it was difficult for them to completely restrain Yao Ming.

Because Kaman's movement may be slower than Yao Ming, it is basically impossible for him to cooperate with other players of the German team to lock Yao Ming, but he is not Yao Ming's opponent in normal defense.

And as Germany's main attacker, Nowitzki is unlikely to spend too much energy on defense.

There are not many people playing in Germany, and Nowitzki can't be as chic as Gasol in Spain.

After the game started, Yao Ming got a chance to single Kaman through the pick-and-roll. He turned around and hit a jumper easily.

With Yao Ming's height, turning around and leaning back a little bit, there is basically no solution.

It's just that this trick needs a better feel, and the hit rate will drop after the physical exertion is relatively large.

When it was Germany's turn to attack, they also tried to find Nowitzki. Nowitzki wanted to attract the defense and create opportunities for his teammates at the beginning.

Then the Chinese team's offensive end created an opportunity for Yao Ming to play Kaman, but Kaman couldn't defend at all.

However, Nowitzki also started individual singles next, and Yi Jian's defense actually interfered with the opponent's shooting, but facing an offensive superstar like Nowitzki, it was impossible to completely lock up.

What Yi Jian has to do is to consume as much as possible and interfere as much as possible to ensure that Germany's offensive efficiency is not so good.

On the offensive end, he cooperated with Yao Ming for assists.

In this case, his efficiency will actually be more.

Because when he can attack, it means that he is receiving the ball in the right position, and he is very sure.

"Yao Yi connected and received a pass from Yao Ming. Yi Jian's mid-range is very stable."

"Facing Nowitzki's defense, Yi Jian is full of confidence. In this season in the NBA, not only his skills have improved, but his psychological quality has also grown tremendously."

After the game started, the core players of China and Germany actually felt good. Yi Jian and Nowitzki couldn't defend each other.

However, there are two things that the Chinese team feels good about.

Nowitzki is really alone in Germany, and the others are hard-pressed.

As long as Nowitzki passes the ball, it is basically gone.

Yi Jian was thinking about whether they could flank Nowitzki.

But China has been leading the score from the beginning, so there is no need to take risks.

In this game, the national team had already won against Germany relying on a good defense. What Yi Jian had to do was to add icing on the cake to ensure that the game would not go wrong.

So he faced Nowitzki with a different strategy than he faced Gasol before. When he confronted him, he chatted with the opponent again, "You seem to want to drive your teammates, and you should be very clear, but you can't win by yourself. Contest."

"But you, do you know how to drive your teammates?"

"Hehe, Yi, is this your trick?" Nowitzki was very calm.

But it didn't last long, because half a quarter passed, and no one else in the German team scored.

This is not the end, the outside lines of the two teams are very strong.

After Liu Wei missed several times, Yi Jian also communicated with the opponent in the past, telling him not to worry, and passing the ball to him if he can't directly hand it over to the inside.

Yi Jian is relatively young in the national team, but his status has been established, and the seniors of the team are willing to give face.

If the ball is passed to Yi Jian, he can attack if he has a chance, otherwise he can pass the ball easily with his height.

He is not good at passing the ball, but it is easier to pass the ball than the defender. This is the flexible use of the height advantage.

The next time the Chinese team attacked, Yi Jian handed the ball to Yao Ming, and Yao Ming scored 2+1 inside.

The German team's inside may be able to bully the smaller man, but their fifth position can't move.

As a result, they didn't go around to defend Yao Ming, and the result is definitely conceivable.

When Yao Ming's physical strength is good, no one can guard him from behind.

Because of Yi Jian's strong point, the German team did not resolutely flank Yao Ming.

The Chinese team is different. The other German players have not bloomed for a long time. As soon as Nowitzki enters, they will attack.

In the first quarter of the game, Germany only scored 9 points, and in the last tens of seconds, Kaman only grabbed one offensive rebound, and the German team was completely suppressed.

During the rotation period, it was difficult for both sides to score points.

The German team had no way out, and Nowitzki played again without much rest.

After Nowitzki played again, he even made free throws and finally brought his teammates up.

Seeing the German team chasing points, Yi Jian immediately stood up.

After he played again, he immediately made a breakthrough and a three-pointer, stabilizing the situation.

He had communicated with Yao Ming a long time ago. When Yao Ming feels good, he will play as a support. When Yao Ming's physical strength is exhausted or his hands are not feeling good, he will be the main attacker.

Especially in the last quarter, let him play with the ball more.

After playing against Spain, the whole team paid more attention to Yi Jian's opinion, and his request was naturally supported by the coaching staff and teammates.

So when the situation was wrong, the Chinese team adjusted their direction very quickly.

"It's ready to shoot, Yi Jian is really strong now! Very stable."

"The key is that Yi Jian is playing like an American star now, it's so amazing!"

Germany's outside defense was actually very good. It was difficult for the Chinese team to have an easy shot, which resulted in all outside shots being pulled.

But relying on the inside advantage, they still stabilized the lead.

Moreover, the German outside players are not strong enough, which also shows that China's outside defense is very good.

Especially Sun Yue, who has both steals and blocks, fully reflects his advantages.

Sun Yue has the advantage of being a tall defender, but if he goes to other positions, he will definitely disappear from everyone.

He didn't survive in the NBA because he couldn't play his most suitable position, and he couldn't shoot.

But the current Chinese team is more suitable for him to play.

During the intermission, Yi Jian stood up and encouraged his teammates, "Everyone put a little more pressure on the German team in the second half. We have an obvious advantage inside, so don't give them a chance."

"Anyway, after Dayao finishes playing roughly, they will hand over the ball to me, and I will stabilize the advantage."

"Haha, it seems that Yi Jian also has the qualifications to be a head coach, why didn't he see it before..."

The game took the lead, and everyone was more relaxed in the locker room, full of laughter and laughter.

For the German team, their coaching staff fine-tuned their tactics.

They played well in the second quarter, and the coaching staff also hope that in the third quarter, they can play against the guest.

At the beginning of the second half, the German team's defense was tighter and they also increased the flanking attack on Yao Ming.

Their defensive rotation has been significantly accelerated.

It's just that they have problems again on the offensive end.

Volatility after half-time, a sign of a weak team.
