If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 331 Always Winning

"In theory, as long as we do the details well, we will definitely have a chance to win."

"Is there something we haven't done well now?" Hawks coach Drew muttered.

He regrets that they played really well in the first half with players out there, playing real team basketball.

However, in the end they couldn't stand the star's strong kill.

This kind of ending made the soldiers of the Eagle feel a little tired.

The current strength of the Thunder really makes the average strong team feel hopeless.

The Thunder have only lost three games so far. If it weren't for the shortened season, they might break the regular season record again.

Without an All-Star center, does the Thunder really feel nothing?

Just pull any player to top it, without affecting the record, how can other teams in the league live?
Public enemy, hateful and terrible.

On March 3, the Mavericks came to Oklahoma.

The Mavericks' current record is not too bad, but they are indeed less competitive in the West.

In the case of a bad record, their starting lineup is also constantly adjusted.

Carter entered the starting lineup. In fact, he accepted the setting that he is no longer the star player he used to be, and Carter can also use it.

It's just that the Mavericks have other problems besides aging, such as the accompanying injuries.

Kidd was injured before, and now Haywood is injured again.

The Mavericks also have a blue-collar insider, Mahinmi, who can be used a little bit, but this buddy has a lot of habitual fouls.

A blue-collar with extremely rough skills, but this buddy can get a contract of more than 1000 million, which shows that the NBA, a commercial league, is too successful and a place to make money.

In this game, this buddy also fouled when he came up, which caused Nowitzki to play the fifth position in the end.

To be honest, the old driver has always been said to be soft, but the confrontation is really not bad, and he can bear it.

Of course, if he is forced to go to the fifth position, the Mavericks' inside line will suffer too much.

The only advantage is that the offensive end can mobilize the Thunder's inside defense.

Jordan can also defend, but it's not that good, and it's the same with Ibaka.

It's a pity that Nowitzki doesn't seem to be able to kill the Thunder with this.

The big deal is that Yi Jian switched defenses. Anyway, Marion no longer has outside shots.

The Mavericks this season are typical of wanting to save money but are not thorough. If they are hard enough, they will continue to fight.

Now it's not going up or down, and it can only be used as a foil in the west.

However, many teams may have no choice this season. They have no time to improve their teammates and can only take one step at a time.

Sometimes, results are not that important, and the boss invests in the team to make money.

In the first half, relying on Nowitzki and Terry's youngest, and also relying on Durant's lack of touch, the Mavericks still resisted the Thunder with their remnants.

Durant really needs enough time to adjust when he encounters a defensive player who can fight against him, and he also needs some poor offensive players.

Without other star players, Durant can't play alone.

End-type stars often look great, but they do have shortcomings.

Superstars have more means, and they have special skills that can drive their teammates, so it will be better to lead the team.

With Durant's type, he won't lead a bad team, but he won't be top-notch either.

If it weren't for Yi Jian, it wouldn't be so easy for Durant to win the championship.

"Back to the home court, but you are soft-hearted. I wonder what you did tonight." Yi Jian joked.

"Their defensive actions are fouls." Durant argued loudly.

"Maybe I went to see beautiful women." Someone booed.

As a teammate, everyone already knows that this guy is a boring guy.

But just kidding, everyone still trusts him.

The scoring champion is no joke, even if the state is not good, it can attract the opponent's defense.

Now the team's perimeter, Lowry and Green are getting better and better, and the Thunder has a way to make adjustments on the offensive end.

After Lopez was injured, the Thunder's offense did not weaken because the outside line was more stable.

Lowry's progress is the key, and Green is a surprise.

He doesn't need the ball like Sefolosha, but he plays smarter and shoots more steadily.

In fact, Green is Yi Jian's ideal second position
This is already his third season with the team, and he is finally starting to make his mark.

Don't want the 3D of the ball, Yi Jian will try his best to urge the team to renew the contract.

After all, Green is relatively cheap now, and it is difficult to find a better one at this price.

If it's Clay's level, he really can't afford to renew his contract.

In the third quarter, there was a problem with the Mavericks' offense.

Nowitzki was blocked by Yi Jian at the beginning, and Terry didn't score in the first time when he replaced, so the Thunder took the opportunity to gain the lead.

The Mavericks' scoring is really bad now, and the starting lineup can only look at Nowitzki.

Their bench lineup is not as strong this season. The key is that many of them will be pressed to death before they can wait for the rotation period.

When encountering a team like the Thunder that can limit Nowitzki, it is to deliver food.

Teams with many veterans sometimes really have no hope.

To form a lineup, the team still needs more young people, so that they can work hard.

In the third quarter, the Thunder had already led by double digits. In the final quarter, the Mavericks used their offensive lineup desperately, and some offensive foundations could still be seen, mainly because Nowitzki was still very strong.

It's just that it's a little late.

Moreover, the rebounding ability gap between the two sides is a bit big.

The Thunder fouled Mahinmi and helped the Mavericks make up their mind to use the full offensive lineup.

In this situation, Nowitzki had a small explosion, but it is a pity that there is no way to win if the inside is blasted by rebounds.

Durant didn't adjust his hand until the end of the game. He just made a few fouls, but the Mavericks just couldn't win.

The Thunder's defense is too good. Except for Nowitzki, everyone else is playing submissively.

"How does it feel, the Mavericks have weakened so much all of a sudden."

"Time is a butcher's knife, and the Lakers feel the same way."

"The Lakers still have a few young people, but on the Mavericks side, the main players are all 30+, and they are in nursing homes."

At the last moment, the Mavericks lost again after scoring a few three-pointers.

They have been beaten by the Thunder this season and lost their temper.

After the game, Durant, the king of blacksmiths, was still pretending to beep. He said seriously: "It mainly depends on our efforts. We continue to play hard. Whether we make shots or not, we will continue to fight. Stay united at both ends."

As a member of the championship team, Durant feels that he has matured a lot, and he is not so obvious.

Two days later, they took the sun lightly again and continued their winning streak.

Then facing the rebuilding Cavaliers, they also dealt with it casually.

Irving, who was great in the rookie game, can't take advantage of Lowry now.

Before they knew it, the Thunder had won [-] consecutive victories.
