If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 17 Fighting to the End
"Yi Jian is really good today, scoring more points than Durant."

"Yi Jian, come on! He really wants to win, and the Supersonics should win a game."

"The jazz is still a bit strong..."

"So what about Jazz, Yi Jian is in really good shape today, give Yi Jian the ball quickly..."

A two-pointer from long distance was also hit, and the Supersonics overtook the score.

After Yi Jian played again at the end of the quarter, his hand feeling remained good.

His playing time today was also a few minutes longer than before.

And after the team allowed him and Durant to hold the ball more, the Supersonics became more stable on the offensive end.

If the two of them can play with the ball, they can play with the ball. If they can't play, they can distribute the ball, and the others can just shoot decisively.

For other Supersonic players, it is more efficient to concentrate on being a tool man.

There is no way, the Jazz has no obvious weak link, and the slightly ordinary role players of the Supersonics are more prone to accidents if they operate more.

The game became more and more intense, with the head coaches of both teams standing on the sidelines and walking up and down.

The Jazz's style of play has also become simpler.

It was Deron and Boozer who picked and rolled, and the others pulled apart.

If the two were stronger, maybe this relatively common routine would be invincible.

For NBA teams, it is more rare to have strong players than tactical execution.

For most teams, the All-Star players have a higher status than the head coach, and it is not unreasonable.

The Jazz is now mainly attacking by Boozer, and Boozer's touch is getting better and better in the final quarter.

He has Deron to deliver shells, basically no waste of touch.

On the Supersonic side, Durant has slightly more opportunities.

Because he is stronger with the ball, Yi Jian can't play singles with the ball from outside the three-point line like him.

With more than eight minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Jazz returned to the court with all their main players.

Perhaps because Yi Jianzheng was depressed, Millsap did not perform well in the second half, and fouled twice in a row, so he could only end in despair.

At this time, the Supersonics came up with a wonderful lineup. Durant went to the back line, and the team went to the three inside lanes. Durant is considered to be four big men.

In this era, some teams will use a small lineup to determine the outcome, and the Supersonics are the other way around.

Not to mention, with four big guys at the same time, the Sonics' rebounding has improved a lot.

In fact, it is very easy to break this kind of big lineup. The Jazz will not be able to stand as long as they make a few shots from the outside.

However, the two sides are crouching dragons and phoenixes, and they don't even shoot from outside the three-point line. A group of people under the basket are fighting for each other, fighting for the difficult mid-range.

It's really a bit like the game in ancient times. The two head coaches may watch from the sidelines and recall the glorious years of their youth.

Snapped!
Kirilenko blocks Durant.

Snapped!
Durant blocked Boozer again.

Such a group of people are crowded together, and shooting is easily affected. Players who have no mental quality really dare not shoot.

The fight was too small, and Yi Jian managed to get a chance.

He started before the help defense came over this time, and Okur stretched his hand hard at the Jazz basket.

It's a pity that Okur couldn't jump up at all, so he could only pull Yi Jian down.

Yi Jian staggered and almost fell to the ground, turned around and rushed over to glare.

The players on both sides sensed the tension and crowded together, glaring at each other, the atmosphere became even more tense.

The referee came over to separate the people, otherwise, if the atmosphere freezes a little bit, someone might not be calm and make a move.

Yi Jian stood at the free throw line, this time he only made one of two free throws.

In the second half, the confrontation was more intense, and his physical strength also declined a little.

The defensive end also showed that he fouled Boozer again, which was also a fourth foul.

Fortunately, the game time is already halfway through the last quarter, so the impact is not great.

When the game stopped, Yi Jian slapped his face hard.

He has to cheer up, he has to persevere.

"We're going to win," he said to his teammates on the court.

Durant touched his hand with a vicious look.

Maybe it's because he looks a little handsome, and he also looks like this when he is serious about playing games.

In the last 5 minutes of the game, Kirilenko caused a foul by Collison, and the Jazz overtook the score after hitting a free throw.

It is really not that easy for the Sonics to win against the strong teams in the Western Conference.

In fact, Kirilenko's play is not the key. The Jazz mainly has Boozer hitting all the time, and this time it is also Boozer's pass.

Boozer's shooting posture is a bit weird, but it's really hard to interfere, and it's troublesome when he feels good.

Fortunately, the Sonics also have dedicated role players.

In the next attack, Collison also hit the offensive rebound.

The Jazz also found that today's Supersonics are difficult to deal with. In the last few minutes of the game, the strength of the team is actually not that important. It depends on whose hands are tougher.

Boozer hit again, but Yi Jian found a chance to activate the Hunter skill when he came back.

There were many insiders, and he was fouled again.

This time, he seized the opportunity at the free throw line.

When Boozer finally appeared to strike the iron, Durant grabbed the rebound and went straight to the frontcourt to hit a two-pointer.

Yi Jian used to give him a high five in the past. It felt really good. He is not the only one who wants to win the Supersonics, nor is he the only one who can hit key shots.

Time came to the last 2 minutes, Deron hit a shot.

But in turn, Durant cooperated with Yi Jian, and Yi Jian directly caught the ball and completed the dunk.

The Supersonic's new Gemini, the data has been good since the start of the regular season, but the performance at critical moments can only be said to be ups and downs.

But today, they really showed their fighting spirit.

The cheers of the fans at the scene were louder and louder, which also made the Supersonic players feel that their fatigue was not enough to affect them.

When the game came to the last 1 minute, the Sonics led by 3 points, and victory was in sight.

But the Jazz are still tough enough, and Boozer completed the middle distance after cooperating with Deron.

This trick is really strong, no wonder Boozer's poor defensive insider can also get a high salary.

In the NBA, if one or two skills are top-notch, you don't have to worry about earning dollars.

In the last tens of seconds, the Supersonics made a mistake in passing the ball, and Deron completed the steal.

Whether it was the fans at the scene or the fans watching the live broadcast, they all seemed to have been hit by themselves, and there was an indescribable feeling in their hearts.

Could it be that the car was going to overturn at the last moment? When the fans' minds were extremely complicated, the Jazz also made a mistake. Durant stretched his long arms and succeeded in stealing.

It's just that he was a little too excited. After the steal, he went all the way to the opponent's half, and shot directly before he stabilized.

As a result, the shot hit the iron.

However, just as the fans sighed, Yi Jian's figure filled their sight.

They felt that Yi Jian flew straight up, grabbed the ball in mid-air, and smashed it into the basket.

In just a few tens of seconds, there were mistakes and deductions.

All kinds of high-energy, supersonic fans couldn't bear it.

But, victory will be won, right?
