If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 103 The Paradoxical Sun

"Yi, your All-Star vote turned out to be the No. [-] Western forward, and I was only No. [-]." Durant suddenly felt a little sour.

"Haha, there's not much difference between us, you still don't shoot a few videos to canvass votes. This time the All-Stars, let us enter the starting lineup together." Yi Jian laughed.

Durant suddenly had fighting spirit, "Okay, it's time to call on my fans to vote."

Duncan is now ranked second in the West, and Durant is indeed not far behind.

His current popularity is much stronger than in the original history, and this is the benefit brought by Yi Jian.

In order to prevent him from being hit, Yi Jian still didn't talk to him more about this.

The Thunder will play the Wizards back-to-back in away games. The Wizards lineup has not changed much, but they have lost their spirits this season. Arenas is also in a state of injury. They have suddenly changed from a playoff team to a poor team. .

After firing Eddie Jordan, the scapegoat coach, the Wizards began to feel at ease.

Their offensive and defensive ends are much worse than last season, and the Thunder naturally won easily.

[Lead the team to win, the game performance is better than that of Wizards All-Star player Antawn Jamison, reward three points +1, back hit +1, steal +1. 】

At this point, the Thunder have only two games left in 2008.

Both games are at home, so you don't have to worry about it, and you can welcome 2009 at home with peace of mind.

When Yi Jian was in Seattle, he rented a house because the team was about to move out, and he was not in the mood to simply invest in real estate.

After coming to Oklahoma, he still spent some money to buy a big house.

This is a small city in the NBA. It is considered medium in the entire United States, and housing prices are not expensive.

Yi Jian's villa worth more than 100 million US dollars is not bad, and has all the necessary facilities.

There are gardens, swimming pools, and entertainment and leisure areas. In big cities, you can only buy a small apartment of [-] square meters for the price of a villa of several hundred square meters here.

Although there is no room for appreciation, it's a great place to live.

For a player like Yi Jian who doesn't have high requirements for entertainment, living in a city like Oklahoma feels good.

On December 12, the Thunder ushered in a challenge from the Suns at home.

The Suns' lineup has changed from before, O'Neal is here, and they have acquired a quasi-All-Star player Jason Richardson through a trade.

This deal is a win-win. Richardson is the offensive firepower the Suns need, Dudley is also a young man with some potential, and Bell and Diaw will meet the Bobcats' defensive requirements.

Although the essence of this deal is that the two new head coaches clear players they don't like so much, it is reliable.

The Suns now feel that the lineup is stronger.

But the team's combat effectiveness has not improved. The biggest problem for the Suns now is actually O'Neal. This buddy is not compatible with Nash and Stoudemire. no change.

So at the beginning of the game, the Thunder and the Suns faced each other again.

It doesn't matter whether you are playing a position or not, the defense of both sides is not enough to limit the opponent.

In this game, Nash left the field with a back discomfort not long after playing, but it seemed to have no effect on the two teams.

Nash is an All-Star player, but if he wants to play in line with O'Neal's rhythm, Nash's role is no longer irreplaceable.

Nash is a bit of a superstar by relying on bombardment, otherwise he is a weak All-Star.

The introduction of O'Neal by the Suns can be said to be a self-defeating martial arts.

After Nash went down and the Suns replaced Barbosa, the Suns also increased their offensive power for a short time.

During the rotation period, because Barnes performed well, the Suns had the advantage.

However, Yi Jian, who played again, scored consecutively and helped the Thunder to chase the score back.

The sun is really unable to guard against Yi Jian now, and he can't even grab a rebound.

O'Neal is really too slow now, not to mention helping defense, he can't even lock Lopez.

However, relying on his weight and experience, O'Neal is still a threat in the low post, which is why the Suns were willing to bet on him before.

"Yi Jian almost scored a double-double at halftime again. The inside combination of Stoudemire and O'Neal is just like that."

"The Sun's defense is too poor, and I have a feeling that Yi Jian will explode again."

"It's also a premonition. There are really few games where Yi Jian's statistics don't explode."

"I feel that Durant is very pitiful. He has performed so well, and he feels very ordinary in front of Yi Jian."

"Durant is poor Jill. With so much money, he will definitely be selected as an All-Star with Yi Jian this time. He is only in the second grade and has reached a height that many potential players can't reach in their lifetime..."

"Hey, the Suns' game doesn't feel so good now, especially after Nash goes down."

"Haha, just look at Yi Jian, the other supporting roles don't matter, no matter how bad the sun is, I can see it with relish."

"Halo, the Sun's current record is not particularly bad, okay, it's just worse than before."

"Damn it, did Yi Jian and Stoudemire hook up and dunk each other?"

"Hehe, Stoudemire is already in the past tense, and Yi Jian completely exploded him."

In the first half, the two teams were evenly matched.

Yi Jian felt that without Nash, the Suns would be affected in the second half.

Regardless of strength and experience, people like Nash have always led the team's tactics. If he is not on the court, the Suns' players will not be used to it.

After reacting during the halftime break, it will be more obvious, after all, the Thunder will also target.

The Thunder's target is on defense, but it doesn't matter on the offensive end.

For a non-defensive team like the Suns, Yi Jian and Durant are enough, and there is no need for complicated tactics.

In the third quarter, O'Neal went crazy inside.

After Nash went down, Stoudemire's efficiency dropped, but O'Neal played comfortably.

The Suns simply let him attack inside, and O'Neal was more excited.

On the defensive end, although he is almost a rookie, he can't defend, but the offense is still relatively sharp, so he directly let Lopez go down to rest early.

Several insiders of the Thunder played in turn, and even Jordan got a chance to match O'Neal.

After all, it doesn't matter if the matchup against O'Neal is rough, at most it is a foul, and O'Neal is not good at free throws.

It seems that O'Neal seems to have regained a sense of peak, but his physical strength has declined very much, and he has not noticed it as an old player.

By the time he felt the problem, he couldn't get up.

And because of the hip-pull defense, even if O'Neal broke out, the Suns did not take the lead.

Because Yi Jian performed better, he has almost scored 30+10, and made Stoudemire foul too much.

Yi Jian himself controlled his fouls very well, he only fouled once and he still assisted in the defense.

He smiled and said to Stoudemire: "Stoudemire, why are you so impulsive? It seems that Nash is not here, you are really useless."

"Wear it on the bottom well, anyway, it will only be embarrassing to play."

Stoudemire was about to vomit blood, causing too much movement after coming up from behind, and he was really fined.
