Rebirth of Yidi Legend

Chapter 597 Yi Jianlian exerts force

The second half started quickly.

The two teams, which were already playing very hot in the first half, played even more hotly in the second half.

Scored goals from both sides from the start.

David West's average rebounds per game so far in his career has not exceeded double digits in any season.

His bounce and wingspan are weak, which also makes his ability to protect rebounds not very strong.

This also makes the New York team's rebounding ability much weaker than when Stoudemire was there.

The current Thunder team is stronger in their ability to grab rebounds inside. Although Perkins' ability to grab rebounds is not good, his tonnage and body can well resist opponents inside and make teammates better. take the ball.

With his help, Ibaka also maximized his explosive power and excellent physical fitness.

The Thunder must do more dirty work on the inside than the outside, and Perkins is currently the most affordable blue-collar center in the league. His arrival will help the Thunder go a step further in the new season.

The Knicks are at a disadvantage in rebounding inside.

This also allowed the Thunder to get more second offenses, which allowed them to lead the Knicks by 4 points around 2 minutes into the third quarter!
Leading the New York team by 2 points at New York's home court, and in the third quarter of the game, the Thunder's performance naturally exceeded many people's expectations.

"Wow, it's really hard for me to imagine that the Thunder are so strong!"

"I still remember three years ago, when the Thunder drafted Harden in the summer of 09, the last piece of the puzzle among the Thunder's three young men. Everyone said that the rise of Oklahoma City had begun! Now, it has indeed begun. Already!"

"This Thunder team finally got to shock the world, which is great!"

The fans talked a lot, and they were all shocked that the Thunder had pushed the New York team to this point!
D'Antoni can only seek a change. The Knicks' inside line is so exploded, he can't stand it anymore.

David West was replaced, and his era has not really come yet.

Yi Jianlian was moved to the fourth position. In the third position, D'Antoni took Hill on the court. This veteran who was once brilliant in the past, his defensive experience and defensive ability are greatly underestimated. Anyway, in D'Antoni It seems that he is a little easier to use than Richardson back then.

The Knicks have reshuffled, and Yi Jianlian's opponent has also changed from Kevin Durant to Ibaka.

Ibaka faced Yi Jianlian with a serious expression on his face. When Kevin Durant was defending Yi Jianlian just now, he was not idle. He also followed up the defense. When Yi Jianlian hit the basket, he also felt the opponent Powerful.

This made him have to look dignified.

Yi Jianlian moved to the fourth position, and the Knicks' lineup, which was a bit bombarded, also turned into a positional battle at this moment.

This is Yi Jianlian. Wherever he is, he will become the core of the team.

Yi Jianlian successfully took the ball in the high position, tested Ibaka's pressure with his back, and then turned around quickly, but Ibaka's lateral movement speed was also very fast, blocking his turn. Hesitating, he immediately turned around again, and continued to kill from the other side. Yi Jianlian took very small steps when he turned around the first time, but when he turned around the second time, his steps were not small, and his steps were very large. Ibaka This time I didn't expect Yi Jianlian's footsteps to be so large, and he rushed over directly. If Ibaka could intercept in advance, Yi Jianlian would be so easy to charge, but once he loses his position, his strength can't hold it at all. Yi Jianlian's strength is not enough. Not weaker than him.

"Bah!"

Ibaka continued to make physical contact with Yi Jianlian, but Yi Jianlian, who had already rushed over, was completely unaffected and directly completed the one-handed buckle.

The whole movement is chic and crisp!

Ibaka watched from behind, with his hips akimbo, not knowing what to say.

He was a little helpless.

Yi Jianlian made a successful attack and returned to the defensive end. Perkins still blocked Chandler with his body and let Ibaka grab the ball. He didn't think that Yi Jianlian's changing to the fourth position would have any impact on the entire game.

"Snapped!"

But he soon knew the role of Yi Jianlian's switch to the fourth position.

He took the rebound off Ibaka's head...

Yes……

Ibaka, who is good at grabbing boards, was picked off by Yi Jianlian on top of his head.

And it's the kind of play that picks up the rebound.

Yi Jianlian held the rebound, waited for the Thunder to retreat and gave the ball to Dragic, who dribbled the ball across the center line, and after Yi Jianlian settled down, he handed the ball to him again.

The reason why Yi Jianlian didn't walk fast enough to hand over the ball just now is to recover his physical fitness. With his physical fitness, he only needs to walk two steps so slowly, and his physical fitness is enough to recover, at least to allow him to catch his breath.

Yi Jianlian has the ball again, this time in the low post.

After taking the ball, Yi Jianlian still tested Ibaka's strength with his back first, and then turned around to stick to Ibaka and wanted to go inside. This time, I paid special attention to increasing the pace of my steps.

But Yi Jianlian stopped suddenly when he blocked the current, and then he was about to shoot with both hands. This position is only one step away from the basket. Although he can't hit the board because of the direction problem, this distance is very good for Yi Jianlian. sure.

At least that's how Ibaka sees it.

So he jumped directly, but at the same time as he jumped, Yi Jianlian, who was shooting the ball, shortened his body, stooped and took a step forward, and the whole person reached the basket and jumped up to complete the dunk.

"Wow ah ah ah ah!"

This delicate footsteps around the basket has become increasingly difficult to see in the entire league.

After Yi Jianlian played with Ibaka, the entire arena gave out huge cheers. They were excited for Yi Jianlian's ball.

The on-site commentator looked at Yi Jianlian's goal and was quite emotional: "When the whole league is discussing how great Yi is as a No. [-] player, we may have forgotten that this guy was long before he became the top No. [-] player in the league." He has already become the No. [-] position above the first line in the league, and this ball reminds everyone how good he was back then!"

Yi Jianlian completely suppressed Ibaka in the fourth position. The Thunder team had no advantage in the inside line at the moment, and the active situation gradually became less active!
The New York team, following Yi Jianlian's efforts, quickly regained the initiative, and at the end of the third quarter, they took a lead of about 5 points!

Kevin Durant's performance in the third quarter was not bad, he scored 11 points, but the Thunder's relapse into passivity made him very unhappy, so his face remained calm.
