If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 165 The Coming Challenge

[Lead the team to defeat the strong competitor Lakers, reward +1 for posting and +1 for passing. 】

The Trail Blazers didn't directly receive rewards in that game. After winning the Lakers, Yi Jian realized that the mission situation this season seemed to have changed slightly.

But that's okay, it's a good thing to have rewards. When he faces a strong team, his fighting spirit becomes more and more high-spirited.

The good start has also changed many people's impression of the Thunder.

Youth without limit seems to be more than a compliment to them, they really are.

It's just that they also have naps.

On November 11, they accidentally lost to Yao Mai and was injured, Artest left, and the lineup was very civilian Rockets.

It was just an accident. The Rockets' players' touches exploded, while the Thunder's players had problems with their touches.

Yi Jian and Durant both played games and lost, which is relatively rare.

It also reminded them that they should not be taken lightly.

In this game, they were indeed a bit careless. Head coach Brooks also intentionally allowed the core players to rest for a few more minutes, but they overturned.

Yi Jian thought it was a good thing. If they had to overturn, it would be a good choice to overturn in the hands of a team that did not pose a threat to them.

"So, the game is not that simple. If we are a little careless, others will step on us. The league is a platform for the best basketball players to compete. We are not the only ones who want to gain victory and money. We must continue to work hard. "

Everyone took it for granted, and some players who were drifting away also became more sober.

Ambitious players work harder because they see that both Yi Jian and Durant can earn a lot.

Now because Yi Jian has also brought a lot of business opportunities, they also hope to be a part of it.

Two days later, the Thunder returned to the home court to usher in the Eastern powerhouse Magic.

The Magic killed the finals last season. Whether it was because of luck or not, the Magic have already seen the highest stage, and their ambitions have also swelled.

The Magic also worked hard in the summer. Although he couldn't get too strong players, he also traded for a more famous former All-Star like Carter.

They signed strikers such as Bass and Barnes in a row, and won the veteran White Chocolate Williams. The posture is very strong.

However, to say how much they have become stronger is not necessarily true.

The departure of Turkoglu and Courtney Lee will have an impact on their perimeter.

Carter does not have Turkoglu's organizational skills, and the Magic's already weak organizational aspects will be magnified.

Of course, it's useless for the Magic to keep the lineup, and it's impossible to come a second time by luck.

But at the beginning of the season, the first trouble the Magic encountered was injuries.

It's not big, but it's really troublesome. Neither Carter nor Lewis can play in this game. The Magic lost half of their firepower on the offensive end in an instant.

After the game started, Howard played very tough, causing Lopez to have foul problems.

In this case, the Magic barely kept pace with the Thunder.

It's just that the Thunder has a substitute inside, and Lopez's impact on going to rest is not that big.

It is difficult for Howard to play like this all the time, and his skills at the basket are still too rough.

Moreover, the Magic's perimeter is very far behind the Thunder.

Nelson, their strongest point on the perimeter, was locked up by Lowry, causing them to force all kinds of three-pointers.

Players like Barnes and Redick are okay to shoot open positions around the stars, but the main offense is to embarrass them.

After Howard's efficiency dropped slightly, the Thunder took the lead.

Magic's substitute players, Pietrus, Gortat and others also performed well.

After Jason Williams came up, the offense is gone, and the passing experience is still relatively rich.

But when Yi Jian and Durant play again, the Magic will have nothing to do.

Whether the two are scoring or attracting defenses to give other players a chance, the Magic have no more options.

Thunder's lead quickly reached double digits.

In the third quarter, the game was spent.

Howard's ability to lead the team is not that strong at all.

The super blue-collar is also a blue-collar, and it is completely different from Duncan's defensive inside line.

Yi Jian also sighed: "So, it is not enough for players to rely on their physical fitness and only do what they are good at. Howard has been in the league for several years, but he has not practiced free throws well. He is not ready to compete for the championship at all. .”

"DeAndrew, don't imitate him."

Little Jordan disdainfully said: "I have been improving all the time, as long as I am given a chance, I will definitely surpass him."

Little Jordan is a little bit confident, but he is indeed making progress.

He is now a decent fifth position substitute, but he is not given much time.

It is one thing for the Thunder to have enough insiders, but according to tactical needs, sometimes Yi Jian will go to the fifth position.

The Thunder's other insiders want to stand out, and there is no doubt that they will put in more effort.

Facing a strong enemy, Yi Jian is also very happy that he can clock in and get off work. The key is that he still has something to gain.

[Lead the team to defeat the strong competitor Magic, reward three points +1. 】

After the object of the task becomes the team, it feels like it only depends on the victory and defeat, not the lineup.

Although the previous prediction was incorrect, Yi Jian is in a good mood, so he may have the opportunity to improve some relatively weak abilities.

In this Thunder victory over the Magic by 30 points, the head coach of the Magic Van Gundy scolded: "We are the worst defensive team in the league!"

But Warcraft is not very angry. He is full of hope for the team's future this season. He said: "New players need to learn our defensive system from the beginning. We must let them adapt to this situation slowly. After all, we are the same as last season. It's very different."

Regardless of whether the team's core and the head coach's personalities are right, Yi Jian feels that there is a problem with the judgment of the two.

They obviously can't attack, so what's the point of defense.

The Thunder's score today didn't even reach the average level, and they won by 30 points. What's the problem? Didn't everyone in the Magic have a beep?
The opponent was affected by injuries, and it was nothing to win, and Yi Jian was also very humble after the game.

Next, the Thunder will have an intensive schedule. Whether they can stabilize their record at the very beginning of the season depends on the middle of November.

Consecutive back-to-back games, almost all away games, test the stability of the young Thunder.

At the same time, they must also pay attention to injuries.

There are three phases in each season that pay special attention to the health of the players. The first is at the beginning. After the summer adjustments, the players will suddenly enter the high-intensity regular season. If you don't pay attention, you will easily go wrong.

The other two stages are the fatigue period in the middle of the season, and the time when you need to work hard at the end of the season.

Now the team's health is very good, and Yi Jian also hopes to maintain it.

So he often communicates with the team medical team. He doesn't want a situation like the Blazers, where talented players are ruined by injuries, that will definitely not work.
