If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 102 Growth Between Winning and Losing

[Leading the team to win, leaving the Clippers' quasi-All-Star player Zach Randolph helpless, rewarding +2 for confrontation, +1 for strength, and +1 for backing. 】

After winning ten consecutive victories, the rookie head coach Brooks is also beaming.

"I didn't expect these young people to play so well. I am very proud. I am also very lucky to be able to coach them."

The Thunder is still at home next, and there are still two days of adjustment time, and the players are relatively calm.

The more teams win, the better the players are.

During the winning streak, the rookies who were a little tired from adapting to the professional league did not encounter the rookie wall for the time being.

On December 12, the Raptors visited.

The Raptors actually still have the desire to become stronger, but the reality is cruel.

They got O'Neal Jr. in the summer, and then found that this guy was really dead.

Bargnani, the No. [-] pick, has not grown as expected in the third grade, and the Dragon King Bosh cannot support himself.

Bosh is an ordinary All-Star, and it is really difficult to bring a team.

Yi Jian is also very willing to match up with Bosh's flexible inside line.

After all, it is one of his former templates, and it has the value of fighting.

The Raptors now let Bargnani play the sixth man, hoping to play the team's strength at a higher level.

It's just that their main force didn't hold up at the beginning.

Bosh found that Yi Jian was able to suppress him both offensively and defensively.

Yi Jian has enough speed, and he is stronger than Bosh in terms of strength and confrontation. Bosh was a little confused at the beginning.

The young man who is in the limelight this season actually has this kind of strength.

When we played against each other last season, I didn't seem to have such a strong feeling. The younger generation really grew up too fast.

In fact, he is still young. Bosh, who was at his peak, suddenly felt like he was going to grow old.

He couldn't guard Yi Jian, his teammates couldn't guard Durant, and the game was difficult.

Now Jermaine O'Neal actually still has defense, but because of the slower movement, the threat of assisting defense is much smaller.

Lopez is not afraid of O'Neal. There is no doubt that the former All-Star is running out of fuel now, which makes people lament that the injury is as fierce as a tiger.

After the Thunder took the lead, the Raptors also dispatched troops on time.

The Raptors' rotation is still stronger. After all, Bargnani is unqualified as the No. [-] pick, but he is still better than the average player as a substitute.

After Bargnani came up, the Raptors played more flexibly, but they had back and forth with the Thunder.

However, the backward situation still cannot be improved.

The Raptors still have too few players with outstanding personal abilities.

Moreover, their team tactics are not very good, so it is naturally difficult to pose a threat to the Thunder.

With the second half, Bosh started more personal offense.

But in the face of Yi Jian, his efficiency has not been high.

In addition, the Raptors' three-pointers didn't work. When they wanted to chase points in the final quarter, the players didn't know what to do, and they could only accept failure in the end.

[Led the team to win, performed better than Raptors All-Star player Chris Bosh, rewarded with +1 for backs, +1 for layups, and +1 for stability. 】

The Thunder's [-]-game winning streak did not continue, and they narrowly lost to the Cavaliers two days later.

The Cavaliers have slightly improved their offensive strength after having Mo this season. They can still rely on defense to make a living, and then rely on James' personal ability to win the game.

The Cavaliers are now ranked second in the East, but their record is very close to that of the Celtics, who are number one in the East.

It's not surprising that the Thunder lost to them.

It's just that they had a chance to win, but the team was still slightly behind at the critical moment.

[Performance in the game is better than former Cavaliers All-Star player Ben Wallace, reward +2 for strength, +1 for confrontation, and +1 for defense. 】

It doesn't matter if the winning streak is broken, the atmosphere of the team is more natural, otherwise some players will always think about the number of winning streaks, and they will be afraid to play.

But in the away game, the team narrowly lost to Joe Johnson's all-round Eagles, and the Thunder's players finally became vigilant.

They have built up the confidence of a strong team, and they don't want a losing streak.

After the two losses, the mentality of the Thunder players returned to normal and stabilized a lot.

[The performance of the game is better than that of the Eagles' quasi-All-Star player Josh Smith, and the reward is +2 for dunks, +1 for jumping, and +1 for passing. 】

The Thunder's Eastern Conference away games are still going on, and they will play back-to-back away games.

But after two days of rest, they were ready.

On October 12, the Thunder came to Detroit.

The Pistons have been too average this season, as average as their new head coach Michael Curry.

But the decline in the strength of the Pistons is not due to the change of the head coach. Their biggest problem is sending Billups away.

The exchanged Iverson is not suitable for the players at all. Now the Pistons are composed of Iverson and Stuckey in the backcourt, successfully giving up the organization.

The Pistons played one big and four small this time, and only Rasheed Wallace was left inside.

Yi Jian didn't understand the brain circuit of the Pistons. They suffered from McDyess's inside line. Now that Prince is going to fight Yi Jian, the inside line can be said to be unnecessary.

After the game started, Yi Jian and Lopez played the taste of twin towers.

Wallace now has to pull to the three-point line to shoot Lopez, and the Pistons' offense is a mess.

The only success of their arrangement was to prevent Yi Jian from activating the mission, which also succeeded in angering him.

Due to the relatively weak resistance of the opponent, Yi Jian scored a double-double in the first half.

Yi Jian is still quite unaccustomed to not confronting Wallace and not hearing trash talk.

But looking at Rasheed Wallace's appearance, it seems that he is not very interested, and he didn't spray Lopez.

Yi Jian clearly felt that Wallace was old, and even lost his spirit.

The current Pistons have completely lost the temperament cultivated after winning the championship that year.

They want to rebuild quickly, but in fact they have begun an unstoppable decline.

In this game, they haven't been much behind in score, and their defense is still good, and they haven't allowed the Thunder's role players to play much.

However, from the start, fans couldn't see any chance for the Pistons to win the game.

All they saw was Yi Jian's arrogance and Durant's incomprehension.

The Pistons, which were still among the strong teams last season, now have no sense of existence at all.

"Haha, Thunderclap had a losing streak before and was worried that they would go back to the way they were before. Now it seems that the worry is for nothing. Gemini is still invincible."

"What are the Pistons playing? We can only prevent the answer from playing too much, and the others can't attack at all."

"Iverson has been dying for a long time. After he and Billups swapped, you can understand the changes in the records of the two teams."

"The Pistons have withdrawn from the ranks of strong teams, and their best defense is no longer available."

"Hey, Thunderclap is actually very strong."

In the first half, the Pistons had a one-two battle with the Thunder.

In the second half, their offense was really unwatchable. Iverson could only play singles, but the efficiency was just like that.

Without any surprises, the Thunder took the Pistons lightly and started winning again.
