If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 98 The First Superstar Level Ability
Nowitzki is in good form today, whether it is outside the three-point line or inside, he can create threats.

Usually when he is in this state, the Mavericks can definitely gain an advantage relatively easily.

However, he had scored 30 points in less than three quarters, and the Mavericks were still behind.

Lei Ting's two young men are simply two monsters.

Yi Jian is very troublesome. Nowitzki has already felt it in the Olympics, but he didn't expect Durant to be very troublesome.

With the two together, Nowitzki was no match for four hands.

The Mavericks can only be promoted and replaced by Terry, but there is still a gap in grade between Terry and the others.

"You didn't make much progress this year, it's time for you to withdraw from the stage of history..." Yi Jian and Nowitzki chattered.

It is a very cool thing to fight against a powerful opponent and do your best.

Bullying weak chickens is also very cool, but only strong opponents can make players completely excited.

This feeling is the charm of competitive sports.

Of course, the main reason is that Yi Jian also has the strength to fight, otherwise it will be boring.

"You're too loud, you're still early," Nowitzki shot back.

Yi Jian didn't take it seriously, and said: "I can defeat you in Xia Tian, ​​and I can still do it now."

Nowitzki finally broke through the defense a little bit, and began to break through from outside and inside with the ball.

When Nowitzki hit it, he looked staggering, but in fact, he could hit it even if his body lost his balance, and he had a chance to cause damage.

In the first half, Yi Jian was beaten twice by Nowitzki. At that time, he still wanted to rely on defense to limit the opponent. Now I find that Nowitzki feels very good today and cannot be restrained. He is also much smarter and doesn’t try to use it .

Nowitzki continued to score and added playing time.

Yi Jian followed the opponent, and Nowitzki stayed on the court, and he didn't go down to rest.

Compared with hand-to-hand combat at the basket, Yi Jian prefers to defend Nowitzki.

Even if Nowitzki is the apex of flexible insiders, it is difficult to handle, Yi Jian also likes this kind of challenge.

Especially after the physical fitness is further improved, the skillful defense will be more fulfilling.

If it's completely hand-to-hand combat, brother rough can also do it, which doesn't fit Yi Jian's current position.

Unless it is necessary, this job can be given to other teammates who want to perform.

Now Lopez is fighting in the interior. Although he also has skills, it must be the case as a support.

Another young Jordan who can only fight hand-to-hand, because of his poor skills, has very little playing time now.

The Thunder's Mavericks' game became more and more fierce, resulting in the core players of the two teams not resting for a long time during the second half rotation period, and it was difficult for the Mavericks to gain an advantage.

As time came to the final quarter, Mavericks coach Carlisle also chose a defense that could only be used for a short time.

That is to pinch Yi Jian and Durant, use the defensive rotation to deal with other Thunder players, try not to let the Thunder's two powerful young players take shots, and at the same time try to let the Thunder's other players get open as little as possible.

In theory, this kind of defense can be done, but the consumption of defensive players will double.

In reality, even for a defensive team, there may be loopholes in the attack, but it is difficult for many teams to grasp the fleeting opportunities.

When Yi Jian and Durant take turns to rest, Mavericks' trick still works.

Of course, there are also some side effects.

The Mavericks were exhausted at the end of the quarter, and they needed to be more focused on defending. Their meager physical strength dropped rapidly, which also affected their offense.

But as long as it works, it's fine. It's just that the two offensive cores of the Thunder soon returned to the court, and the Mavericks' flanking strategy appeared to be a bit problematic.

Yi Jian and Durant are not passing masters, but they can pass the ball.

After pinching the ball, it is easier for them to do it because of their height.

It is very difficult for the Mavericks' defense to be foolproof, even if it is only one quarter.

At this time, if there is another problem with their offense, it will be very fatal.

The Thunder did not pinch on the defensive end, but they did better and better.

Their other players, Lowry and Lopez, also scored, but not as consistently.

Now the gap between the two sides is extremely small. If the Mavericks overtake the score, it will be really difficult.

On Durant's side, there is no other way for the time being, and flanking is useful for Durant.

In Yi Jian's words, he started to use brute force.

He started to catch the ball in the low post, regardless of whether the opponent was flanking or not, he got the ball and started.

In order to defend him, the Mavericks did not use Dampier in the fifth position, and now the inside is more flexible Bass.

Bass is not tall enough, and Nowitzki is not good at protecting the frame, so Yi Jian just came to be tough.

"Don't worry, give me the ball, and I'll take care of it." He kept communicating with his teammates.

So, in the second half of the last quarter, Yi Jian turned around and started forcibly after receiving the ball.

He raised his hands high, and if the Mavericks' defensive players didn't stop him, he would dunk when he went in.

But forcibly stopping him is easy to foul.

For a short insider like Bass, he turned around and made a direct dunk.

Nowitzki couldn't stand him, and the Mavericks' defense suddenly became embarrassing.

They only defended once, and that time the referee called Yi Jian an offensive foul.

At other times, as long as Yi Jian successfully receives the ball in the right position, the Thunder can score.

At this time, if the Mavericks maintain their offensive efficiency, there is still suspense about the outcome.

It's just that, at the last moment, Nowitzki and Terry's shooting percentages have dropped.

Then there was no other way, relying on Yi Jian's strong performance, the Thunder always maintained an advantage of about 5 points.

"Emperor Yi is invincible and fierce, Mavericks can't stop him no matter what."

"Physical fitness is too strong, people of the yellow race are said to have poor physical fitness, haha, you see..."

"Yi Jian holds high and fights high, Mavericks' insiders can only watch."

"It's cool to fight like this, it's like flying into the sky and escaping from the ground."

"Needless to say, the slam dunk king is not a fake. Yi Jian is invincible both in actual dunks and performance dunks."

In the last 2 minutes, Yi Jian hit another mid-range shot.

The Mavericks began to try three-pointers, but the hit rate was not high.

Terry missed both shots, and Nowitzki hit one later, but it was too late.

Seeing that time is running out, the Mavericks can only use foul tactics.

It's a pity that the Thunder's free throws really didn't say anything. Their foul tactics only increased the data of Yi Jian and Durant.

In this game, Nowitzki scored 46 points, which can be said to be an exaggerated performance, but the Mavericks still lost.

Yi Jian has a comprehensive data of 29 points, 16 rebounds and 3 blocks, and also received a reward.

[Lead the team to win, and the performance is not inferior to the Mavericks All-Star player Dirk Nowitzki, rewarded with +3 mid-range shots, +1 three-pointers, and +1 post-ups. 】

Relying on this reward, Yi Jian's mid-range shooting ability also surpassed the stable data, taking the lead in rushing to 90, becoming Yi Jian's first superstar level ability.

On the offensive end, Yi Jian became more and more helpless.
