If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 22 Competition and Promotion

Joe Johnson went crazy and scored 6 points in a row to help the Eagles catch up with the score. The Sonics finally reacted.

The effect is obvious. Without Josh Smith in the Hawks game, others really can't play.

On the Supersonic side, Durant felt something wrong, but Wilkins maintained his state.

Yi Jian was relatively stable. He didn't play very well this time, but he was able to score if he seized the opportunity.

Yi Jian now really hopes that the team has a passing master. When he is closely followed, many opportunities will only appear for a moment, and if no ball is passed, it will be wasted.

After Joe Johnson's scoring performance came to an end, the two teams began a stalemate period, and it was relatively difficult to score.

Eagles coach Mike Woodson is constantly reminding players on the sidelines that they need to move more on the offensive end and pay attention to details on the defensive end.

Twice, the Eagles had to overtake.

Combo guard Salim Stoudemire and Marvin Williams both performed. Unfortunately, when the Hawks score, the Sonics can always return.

Halfway through the final quarter, Yi Jian hit two points, and the Supersonics stabilized again.

When the opponent hit again, Wilkins also hit.

In this game, the Sonics really didn't say anything on the offensive end, and someone will always stand up.

In the second half of the final quarter, the two teams faced each other, and the competition became more intense.

"Damn, Supersonic don't develop a habit of crashing, give the ball to Yi Jian."

"Dizzy, the Sonics lost another rebound, and my heart can't stand it."

"Is there any mistake? How could this ball be fouled by Yi Jian?"

The game time is getting shorter and shorter, Yi Jian is still running tirelessly.

It's not just about looking for opportunities, running the pitch is the way to fight.

The moment you get rid of the defender, even if you don't receive the ball, you can feel happy because he won.

Yi Jian also occasionally talked trash with Horford, which can make people forget the loss of physical strength.

It's just that the other party didn't respond very much, and Yi Jian didn't exaggerate too much.

In the last 3 minutes of the game, the Sonics took the lead.

When the game reached the last 2 minutes, they still kept it.

But when the game entered the last minute, Joe Johnson finally found a chance to hit a shot again.

Joe Johnson's big heart helped the Eagles successfully overtake.

But before they were happy, Wilkins hit again.

The Sonics didn't have amazing coordination on the offensive end, they just moved the ball to the weak side after the pick-and-roll.

They are blooming more now, and the Eagles still haven't kept it.

With the last 16 seconds left, the Eagles requested a timeout.

The opponent finally stayed on the court with a small lineup, and the Supersonics also removed an inside line for outside defense.

Yi Jian has become the last barrier inside the team, which is relatively rare in the Supersonics.

But the opponent this time is okay, Horford is not the kind of low-post strong insider, Yi Jian can defend against it.

After the timeout ended, the Hawks came out to find Joe Johnson.

The Sonics are resolutely attacking. The defensive player hesitated a little in the last round, and Joe Johnson made a hit.

Don't reason with an All-Star player who feels hot, just don't give a mobile phone a chance.

The Eagles still want Joe Johnson to attack, after all, others are not very safe.

But time was running out. They took a look at the outside line and found that there was not enough time.

So the Eagles didn't care about creating opportunities for Joe Johnson, and their role player Salim Stoudemire, who played fairly well at the last moment, directly broke through with the ball.

As a short combo guard, Stoudemire has not been reused since he entered the NBA three years ago. This type of defensive end is too disadvantaged, and his offensive end is not as strong as his cousin Flying Squirrel. If he can't prove himself , The NBA can't survive.

It's just that short players are prone to accidents when they get hot-headed.

Stoudemire wanted to be a hero at the last moment and directly broke through for a layup.

However, Supersonic would not agree, and Yi Jian jumped up and sealed it without even thinking about it.

With a slap on his hat, Yi Jian directly slapped the ball out.

Hehe, Yi Jian's ability to block shots isn't particularly strong, but if the short guy lays up in front of him, he's courting death.

The referee's whistle sounded and the basketball went out of bounds. There was only 1 second left.

The Eagles re-served the serve, perhaps because they were short of time and a bit nervous, or the previous round affected their confidence. They made a mistake in their serve, and the game ended.

The Supersonics finally ushered in a victory in the away game.

[Excellent performance, helping the team win, better than Hawks rookie Al Horford, bonus rebound +1, defense +1, mid-range shooting +1. 】

[Excellent performance, help the team win, better than Eagles rookie Mario West, reward steal +1. 】

Yi Jian was numb after winning, and said happily after the game: "We are united as one, and this is the secret of winning."

In the next back-to-back, the team lost to the Bobcats, but Yi Jian's data is still good.

[The game data is stronger than Bobcats rookie Jared Dudley, rewarding three-pointers +1, defense +1. 】

[The game data is stronger than Bobcats rookie Gemario Davidson. 】

The rookie season's welfare tasks are really good, and there are rewards for losing games.

It's just that two rookies activated the mission, but one of them didn't get a reward. Yi Jian was also a little surprised.

Could it be that the opponent is really too weak?

Next, the team played the fifth away game against the Grizzlies. Conley did not play, and Yi Jian activated the task on Navarro again, but the rewards were a little different from last time.

[The game data is stronger than the Grizzlies rookie Juan Carlos Navarro, rewarding ball control +1, speed +1. 】

Everyone in the Supersonics was a little tired after a wave of away games. Fortunately, they had three days of rest when they returned home, and they finally regained their energy.

On November 11, the Sonics ushered in a challenge from the Nets.

There is the 17th pick Sean Williams in the opposing team, and Yi Jian also activated the welfare task again.

The Nets have not had a good inside line in the past few seasons, and the combination of Kidd, Carter and Jefferson has become less and less competitive in the Eastern Conference.

They renewed Carter's contract in the summer, and added some personnel through small troubles, but the new season started poorly.

The main reason is that it is difficult for the team to go further, the players have no enthusiasm, and the team's defense is getting worse and worse.

The conflict between the Nets All-Star point guard Kidd and the management is also true and false.

Anyway, the Nets are not doing very well now.

Carter did not start this game. Carter was asked to play as a substitute when he came back from a minor injury. In this case, the Nets had insufficient offensive power and were directly beaten by the Sonics 5:0.

Then they replaced Carter in desperation. In every team in the league, there are always some coaches who will play tricks.

But for players, no matter what the head coach arranges, as long as they play, they must show their value.
