If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 23

The strength of the Nets is declining, but they still have three stars in the backcourt.

After Carter came up, the Sonics' lead quickly disappeared.

Offense is one aspect, and the Nets' good personal defense on the outside is also an important reason.

The current decline in the Nets' defensive ability is mainly due to the inside line, and the outside line is relatively okay.

When the team had problems on the perimeter, Yi Jian began to ask for more balls.

Opposing Yi Jian is Malik Allen, an unremarkable role player.

The Nets didn't have an insider to sign someone, and then found that it was of little use.

Malik Allen defends Yi Jian very conscientiously, which is also the secret of the survival of role players.

It's just that Yi Jian is not an ordinary person. With the inside level of the Nets, he can still gain something even if he doesn't use skills, let alone the strength of the hunter skill.

As long as Yi Jian receives the ball in the right position, whether it is a breakthrough to the basket or a back-to-back turn, almost no player can handle it one-on-one.

The Nets are not strong inside, Yi Jian almost just needs to seize the opportunity.

After Yi Jian started to play, the Nets could not maintain their lead stably just because of the advantage they gained from outside.

The head coach of the Nets, Lawrence Frank, is very dissatisfied with the team's defense. Frank is an inspirational figure who successfully counterattacked and became the head coach of the NBA. No matter what his real level is, his love for basketball is definitely beyond doubt.

So he was very anxious when he saw problems on the team.

He replaced the Slovenian Persia Jan Naheba and the rookie Sean Williams to match Yi Jian, but there was no obvious effect.

Naheba couldn't keep up with the confrontation, but Williams was too rough.

The Nets coach Frank had no choice but to shrink the defense, and then use the outside line to win with the Nets.

This trick still worked, mainly because Durant was completely out of shape today and was bullied by Jefferson in various ways.

Durant is still a little younger now. Although he is very talented, he still needs to improve in confrontation.

This caused him to be unstable sometimes, and gave many so-called experts from the outside world the opportunity to criticize and rub the heat.

And if Durant doesn't drive, it will be really difficult for the Sonics to take the lead. After all, the other perimeter players of the Sonics are really very ordinary.

In this case, the Nets only need to deal with Yi Jian.

They first defended against Yi Jian to catch the ball, and if Yi Jian got the ball, they would assist in defense.

Yi Jian also felt that basketball is not a game for one person, and it is really difficult to play without helpers.

Fortunately, he is not the only one who has an advantage in the interior. The Nets' interior is really bad. Several big men in the Supersonics have got some opportunities.

So when the Nets have an advantage on the outside, they can't widen the score gap.

"The biggest problem for the Supersonics now is that they don't have a defender who can sort out the offense well. Yi Jian often ran out of opportunities, and the defenders couldn't send the ball in time."

"It seems that Yi Jian is in the Supersonic, and he also encountered the problem of Yao Ming in the Rockets."

"You see, this ball is a blind shot, so it should be passed to Yi Jian."

The current situation of the Supersonic, the commentators of the domestic live broadcast are all anxious.

At the last moment of the first half, Durant still missed a shot, and the Sonics entered the intermission with a disadvantage.

Back in the locker room, Yi Jian took the initiative to comfort Durant.

"Kevin, you have to be more confident, I believe you are better than the other party."

"We have to play both to help the team win."

"I know, I just felt a little bit bad in the first half, and it will be fine soon." Durant said a little arrogantly, he was more face-saving.

After communicating with Durant, Yi Jian talked with several other outside players of the team.

In the first half, if there is any improvement in everyone's cooperation, it needs timely feedback.

Yi Jian has no conflict of interest with most of the team's players, and it will be easier to get opportunities if they communicate well.

If everyone works hard to win the game, they can all increase their social status, so why not do it.

I'm sorry if some people can't figure it out, it is necessary to put pressure on the management through the agent.

Whether he goes or those role players go, the management will know how to choose.

Professional teams are a more realistic place, and there will be personnel turnover every season.

There is competition, there are interests, or other aspects.

Yi Jian just wants to be a good person, as long as no one messes with him.

After all, professional sports is not based on who is good, the status in the rivers and lakes is all played out.

If he can't do it, then he can't blame others for being kicked out.

Most of the supersonic players are still relatively good. Yi Jian is valued by the team and popular, so there is no need to fight against it.

So when he played in the third quarter, Yi Jian became the supersonic's main attack point.

After Yi Jian cooperated with his teammates more tacitly, the Supersonics actually started chasing points.

The main reason is that the outside line of the Nets is not so stable. Kidd, an All-Star, doesn't have a good attack on his own. Jefferson and Carter are also a bit uncomfortable.

It's better for Yi Jian, as long as he goes in, it's either a buckle or a kill.

In order to help the defense, the Nets' insider Collins quickly committed four offenses.

If the opponent has a strong inside line, Yi Jian may be blocked.

The Nets really have nothing to do with him.

"Dump it again, Yi Jian is really cruel."

"As expected of Kong Tianyi, the sky is not his limit."

Yi Jian still couldn't hide from the nickname Space Yi.

He bounces well and dunks a lot. Americans call him Air YI, but the Chinese are too easy.

Originally, there was no derogatory meaning, but Yi Jian always felt strange.

Under Yi Jian's performance, the Supersonics played better in the second half.

After West came up, he also hit some balls from the outside, and the game suddenly became anxious.

The Nets are also getting more serious, but the current Nets are really not a strong team, but after being serious, they don't have the feeling of lifting weights like before.

In the final quarter, the two teams fought inextricably.

"Be sure to guard against Yi, stick to him, and don't let him go to the basket." Nets coach Frank told the players.

The players expressed their understanding, but they couldn't help themselves when they got to the court.

Students who have played basketball know that whether it is defense or offense, it is easier said than done.

When Yi Jian couldn't play, he just fought outside, and the Nets were still sure.

But Yi Jian went inside to kill, this move was too unsolvable.

No wonder the Nets are getting worse and worse now, they can't play pure outside shots at all.

Kidd's type of organization master is best matched with a more balanced lineup, unless there is a stronger outside line, and the Nets with a stronger outside line than Carter obviously cannot get it.

During the rotation period, the Nets spent a lot of effort, that is, they won by 1 point.

When Yi Jian came on the field, the final decisive battle between the two teams began.

The Nets felt that they were ready, and then Yi Jian came up and scored again.

The head coach of the Nets, Frank, was a little confused on the sidelines. Their defense was paperless.

Yi Jian is that trick, how can he always succeed?
