If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 25 You Can Abuse Vegetables

"Durant has blocked Granger head-on twice, so strong."

"It's 20+ in less than three quarters. Durant's touch is too good."

With Durant playing an All-Star performance, Yi Jian is still relatively relaxed.

He put more energy on other aspects, and the statistics also include steals, blocks and so on.

Yi Jian doesn't think about attacking and scoring all the time, he hopes that he can be more versatile.

He and Durant, whoever feels better should attack more.

As a friend who usually plays games together, Durant will reduce his shots when he is not in good shape.

So the two of them don't have much direct contact on the court, but they still have a tacit understanding.

"How could this be?" Pacers coach O'Brien couldn't understand.

The Sonics didn't lead by much either, but held steady between 5 and 10 points.

No matter who the Pacers score, Yi Jian or Durant will respond.

In the last quarter, Durant turned into a penalty king, making double-digit free throws in a single quarter.

Yi Jian just played the side drum beside him, and Supersonic took the opponent lightly.

In fact, if it can be so easy every time, Yi Jian doesn't mind being a supporting role.

Yi Jian said in an interview after the game: "We all want to win, so we have been working hard to improve."

"Promote each other, compete with each other, and then feel that our strength has improved. We like this state very much."

"I'm not surprised that Kevin scored high points, he has enough strength."

Durant is relatively quiet, he obviously wants to say a lot.

He said, "I just try to help the team win the game. If the team chooses us, we will work hard."

That's how November ended. The Sonics' record is relatively poor, but the attention is not bad.

In the first game in December, the head coach Carlesimo suddenly wanted West to start and wanted to build a stronger offense.

As a result, no one passed the ball on the team, and the Sonics lost to the Warriors.

Both Yi Jian and Durant are forwards who don't pass the ball very much. If the guards are also attacking, the ball cannot be played.

Fortunately, Yi Jian can squeeze wool.

[The data of the game is over and the Warriors rookie Brandon White is rewarded with a block +1. 】

On December 12, the Sonics waited for a weak team like the Clippers at home.

The Clippers were not strong in the first place, and they were still on Kassel at this time, so they were naturally easier to deal with.

Of course, the Supersonics' starting lineup has changed back, and Watson is the most suitable number one.

At the beginning of the game, Yi Jian suppressed Tim Thomas.

Perhaps because his strength has improved a bit now, Yi Jian feels much more comfortable than the first time he fought.

The Clippers are currently short of major generals, and their inability to play offensively may also be one of the reasons.

Tim Thomas was not active in defense, and Clippers coach Dunleavy couldn't stand it anymore, so he asked Kaman to help defend.

As a result, Yi Jian passed inside and easily got the assist data.

With Kaman's movement, he couldn't go back after he came out of the defense, and he felt relaxed again against the Clippers.

The Clippers, who suffered another injury, are out of luck this season.

Soon, the Sonics had the upper hand.

When returning to the bench to rest, Yi Jian talked to Durant easily.

"We shouldn't be the weakest in the league now. I don't know how far our strength can improve by the end of the season?"

"At that time, we can beat some good players." Durant looked forward to it.

Because of Yi Jian's influence, Durant became more confident.

The two had little time to rest together, so the exchange ended quickly.

Apart from Durant, the player Yi Jian is more familiar with is Collison.

There is some competition between the two positions, but the style of play is actually completely different.

This buddy has a good personality, and everyone entered the team through the draft, so it feels closer.

Yi Jian thinks that Collison feels the best when he is partnered with the inside line of the team.

It's a pity that the head coach has his own ideas. Yi Jian still has to talk to Carlesimodo about the starting problem in the future.

After playing in the second quarter, Yi Jian still performed steadily.

If you want to pick a bone in an egg, it is still defensive.

By the end of the first half, Yi Jian had already fouled three times.

In fact, he can also control fouls, but the defense will be worse.

Yi Jian is also adjusting according to the situation on the court every game, trying not to let himself commit six offenses.

That is to say, he is the young player that the team focuses on training. If the marginal players don't care so much, they won't have the chance to play if they don't work hard enough on the defensive end.

In the first half, the Sonics' lead was already very stable.

In the third quarter, Yi Jian and Durant continued to play, and the game gradually lost its suspense.

Although there is no three-quarter clock out, this is the first time that the Sonics have easily won their opponents.

[Excellent performance helps the team win, better than the Clippers rookie Al Thornton in all aspects, reward bounce +1. 】

Two days later, the Sonics also came to the last game at home, against the Bucks.

The Bucks did not choose Yi Jian, so they chose Jeff Green. Compared with the original history, the two of them just switched teams.

Relatively speaking, Jeff Green is actually easier for the Bucks than Yi Jian.

Of course, everyone is treated differently.

Jeff Green started as a substitute in the Bucks, and he didn't have so many opportunities.

After all, although the Bucks have a good record, they are not rebuilding the team, and the lineup is relatively complete.

Reid, Williams, and Bogut all have important roles, and the others can only play supporting roles.

After the current head coach of the Bucks, Larry Chris Kowiak, took office, the team's record has become worse and worse.

Chris Kowiak used to be a defensive expert, but after becoming the head coach, the team's defense is not good at all, and he is also the type who has no strength to control the overall situation.

Facing the Bucks, Yi Jian is ready to perform well.

After all, they would have parted ways.

The Bucks start with Villanueva at the fourth position. The offense is okay, but the defense is a mess.

Yi Jian was furious when he came up, and then found that the opponent couldn't help fighting.

Villanueva couldn't keep up with him at all, and Yi Jian scored in double figures in a single quarter.

The Bucks replaced Jeff Green. Green wanted to avenge the training camp, but he felt a bit psychologically shadowed after facing Yi Jian. After being dunked by Yi Jian twice, he was completely confused.

Durant played no matter what he did on the court. The SuperSonics quickly took the lead, which felt easier than playing the Clippers.

In fact, it was not too easy, and Reed quickly lost his temper.

Reed's shooting is really good, and he was once an All-Star.

Under the supersonic slag defense, he made various hits.

It's a pity that only Reid performed well in this game for the Bucks. He is hard to beat with four hands.

Durant scored 30+ this time and also had 5 blocks, while Yi Jian had a large double-double with 26 points and 13 rebounds.

He himself didn't expect that he could grab so many rebounds with Bogou on the opponent.

It can only be said that the Bucks' overall rebounding is not good.

With the performance of the two of them, the Supersonics will naturally take their opponents lightly.

The rebuilding team can actually abuse food.
