If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 322 The Alliance Has Been Weakened

The Celtics are still making minor repairs around the old Big Three. After all, these people still have a lot of oil, and with Rondo, it seems that they still have the strength to compete for the championship.

It's just that the old man has rested for a long time, and he doesn't get out of shape so quickly.

Coupled with minor physical problems from time to time, their current record is very miserable, and they have not made it to the top eight in the Eastern Conference.

Of course, they still have strength, and they can definitely catch up later, but it is really embarrassing now.

In this game, the Celtics also put on a relatively complete lineup.

The starting three giants Garlando, and O'Neal.

The Celtics gave up the team's two relatively young insiders in the summer, Perkins and Davis left, and then the injury-ridden O'Neal, O'Neal chose to retire, and now they only have O'Neal Jr. .

So the Celtics are miserable inside in the new season. If there is any problem, Garnett can only go to the center, and then look for it from the undrafted picks.

This season, many teams have lacked positions, which has something to do with the lockout.

But it's more that the team management didn't handle it well, so it seems that the Thunder has a little less people on the flanks, which is very good. Now many teams in the league are so short of people that they want to cry.

Because of the aging team, the Celtics' offense has been worse this season, purely relying on a slow pace to grind their defense.

After the game started, the Celtics' inside line was blown out.

The combination of Yi Jian and Jordan basically controlled the rebounds.

On this basis, Yi Jian and Durant swept the opponent on the offensive end, and the Thunder immediately gained the advantage.

Compared to becoming weak inside, the real big problem for the Celtics is scoring.

Their defense may be more experienced than a young team like the Grizzlies. Pierce also has a certain personal scoring ability, but it is not enough to face the league's top teams.

In fact, the Celtics really work hard, and if they stay healthy, they really have a chance to dry out the Heat.

The Heat's strengths and weaknesses are extremely obvious.

If the defense can limit James and Wade, they can rush.

It's just that the Celtics are probably still not sure.

The key is not knowing whether the team's veterans can stay healthy and dare not devote themselves desperately.

As a wealthy team, the Celtics still have to spend a lot more rationally.

The main force was overwhelmed, but the Celtics played well off the bench.

The Thunder's current bench is very strong, but they can't fully play against teams with exceptionally good defense.

The main reason is that the inside line can only eat cakes, and the ball holding point is actually not stable enough.

It's just that the Celtics couldn't seize more opportunities.

After all, the Thunder's defense is also very good.

And regardless of the main substitute, they all have an inside advantage.

The Thunder injured an all-star insider, but the insider was still so strong, and the outside world was still shocked.

They knew that the Thunder was strong inside, but they didn't expect it to be that strong.

At the end of the first half, the Thunder scored 4 points in a row, and their lead reached double digits.

"The Celtics are still very strong, but we are not afraid of them." Yi Jian said.

To be honest, this year is a relatively weak season in the league.

Competitive teams are either suffering from injuries or aging rosters.

The real top teams are only the Heat and the Thunder.

Therefore, a strong team like the Celtics, who are only slightly inferior, still has a chance as long as they stay healthy.

In fact, every season, the last laugh is not necessarily the strongest team.

In a long season, there will be many unexpected factors.

"In fact, the Celtics' style of play is also being adjusted, but because of the lineup, there is no way to change too much. As long as we continue to defend well in the second half, there will be no major problems."

Another problem with teams like the Celtics is that everyone is too familiar with them.

And the Thunder feels familiar to everyone, and they are still full-fledged public enemies, but they are actually changing all the time.

The main thing is the growth of young players, who often surprise their opponents.

In the third quarter, the Celtics tried to improve their offense.

Their star players are also trying to show their strength.

It's a pity that the Thunder's defense can cope with the Celtics' efforts.

Except for Pierce who can play a few, the others can be said to be completely locked.

Conversely, the Celtics couldn't lock the Thunder's strengths.

They came to try to pinch Yi Jian in the second half, after all, Jordan didn't seem to be able to score at all.

However, when they really pinched, Jordan was also very happy eating cakes under the basket.

After all, Jordan's static and physical fitness are very good, and he is better than Lopez in this respect. He is still very good at dunking and so on, and Yi Jian's passing is very good.

Therefore, it was not easy to attack Yi Jian abruptly from inside.

In desperation, the Celtics also became ruthless and began to play a small lineup.

In this case, their offense is better, mainly because they have added a shooting point.

But on the defensive end, they still can't do anything.

When the Celtics score, the Thunder can always respond, and they still lead.

After a few minutes, the Celtics were a little overwhelmed.

The next game became dull, and Celtics coach Rivers didn't know what he was thinking. When the score was behind, he didn't arrange three-point tactics to chase points, but just stood on the sidelines in a daze.

As a result, the last quarter ended in a less intense confrontation, and the Thunder took the opponent lightly.

[Lead the team to defeat the Celtics, the strong team in the East, and reward +1 for possession and +1 for layups. 】

The Thunder came to the East to play consecutive away games, but not back-to-back. Compared with the previous schedule, it was relatively easy.

Two days later, they arrived in Washington.

The Wizards are still in the process of rebuilding and have little strength.

They continued to train Wall, and by the way, insider McGee.

But there is an ignorant guy on the team who has been stealing the ball, that is Nick Young. The Wizards regret not sending him away in the summer, and now they can only let him increase the transaction value first.

This time Nick Young suddenly went crazy in the last quarter, and he played double shots in the backcourt with Wall. The Thunder were also a little frightened, but it was still done. After all, there is still a big gap between the two teams.

Then, the Thunder killed another Eastern Conference rebuilding team, the Nets.

The Nets actually don't want to continue to rebuild, but after Deron came to the Nets, his performance was very average.

Now the team is Deron and Harden with two guns in the backcourt, and everyone else is performing very ordinary.

If the team is willing to do a good job of defense, in fact, there is no problem in the East, but they just can't do it well.

In this case, the Nets need to introduce at least one All-Star player to have hope.

The civilian lineup has a civilian lineup style of play. It can only be said that the head coach of the Nets, General Johnson, can't do it.

After the Mavericks were reversed and hit continuously, this buddy became a bit of a demon, and now he is getting more and more back, and he is actually not suitable for coaching.

Sometimes, it's not good to start too well, and it's easy to get depressed after being hit.
