If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 381 The Process of Winning the Game
The Heat's bench lineup is no surprise.

They are also used to it, and all they can do is to limit the strength of the Thunder's bench.

They didn't do enough in the first half, but they did okay in the second half.

It's just that Durant's recovery doesn't mean that the Heat can complete the exchange by restricting the Thunder's bench players.

Durant's threat is greater than all bench players.

His recovery and the connection between Yi Jian and Durant can basically destroy any team's defense.

The Heat can't guard against Yi Jian, nor can they guard against Durant.

In the third quarter, the Thunder once again took the lead.

In desperation, the Heat began to put all their eggs in one basket.

Give up the unrealistic idea of ​​preventing the opponent from dying, and start a confrontation with Thunder.

They have no advantage against offense, but in the end they always have no choice.

The Heat's strongest offensive and defensive ends are the Big Three, which is their helplessness.

No matter how you choose, it will consume the physical strength of the Big Three at the other end.

Especially the team's strongest James, how to allocate his energy, the Heat are very concerned.

They can only try, find out that it doesn't work, and then make changes.

They don't want to either, but things are changing fast on the pitch.

They are not absolutely sure, they can only take one step at a time.

"Go all out, win the fight and earn..."

Even if it fails, there are lessons learned.

This is very helpless, and it tastes a bit weak. The Big Three turned out to be weak, but that is the truth.

Teams that were born in the same era as Jordan are very helpless, and now the strong teams that were born in the same era as the Thunder are also very helpless. After all, the league usually can only have one overlord.

However, the Heat's choice seems a bit late.

When they decided to attack with all their strength, James' shooting was no longer as accurate as before.

Even if James didn't rest in the second half like he did in the last half, the consumption on both ends of the offense and defense still made him a little tired in the final quarter.

These fatigues have affected his outside shooting.

Wade's shooting has adjusted a little, but he doesn't get many opportunities now.

Wade's ability to create and finish successfully has diminished compared to last season.

Just a little, but it's much easier for the Thunder's defense to limit Wade.

Bosh, as usual, inside, can only occasionally pick up a leak.

As for the rest of the Heat, there is no chance.

In the first half, the Heat's role players still had some chances, and they dared to make shots.

At the end of the quarter, the ball is basically in the hands of the stars, and the opportunities for role players are getting smaller and smaller, and they dare not make moves easily.

In fact, at the end of the quarter, the game between the Thunder and the Heat is about fighting for stars.

Everyone is three against three, the difference is that Yi Jian and Durant are more efficient.

As a result, the Thunder's lead is still expanding.

It has not yet reached double digits, but it is already difficult for the Heat to keep up.

After going all out, you may still lose, which is nothing more than normal in the arena.

For the winners in competitive sports, determination accounts for only a relatively small part, and the key is strength.

As the game entered the final quarter, the Thunder's strength became more and more obvious.

"This is the difference in player strength. Yi Jian and Durant's shots are too accurate."

"The Thunder have pinched the Heat's weakness. They just let James and Wade shoot. Can the two make it?"

"The winner is definitely the Thunder, they are stronger than the previous dynasty team."

"I'm not afraid of ignorance, but I'm afraid of comparing goods. The Big Three of the Heat are nothing in front of the Thunder."

"Indeed, in front of Emperor Yi, the little emperor is a joke."

In fact, at the beginning of the final quarter, the Thunder only took a slight lead.

But after halfway through the final quarter, their lead came to more than 5 points.

When James has a shooting problem, he can only try to draw fouls.

He still succeeded once, but then the Heat's offense fell into the confusion of blacksmithing.

They seem to be stuck in samsara, always going through bad situations.

James and Bosh's three-point attempts all ended in failure, and role players like Chalmers and Battier were completely reduced to spectators on the court.

In fact, the Heat's defense at this stage is not bad. Except for Yi Jian and Durant, no one else in the Thunder can score.

It's a pity that they are lagging behind, just maintaining the situation is not enough.

The passage of time was very fast. The Heat tried to defend while looking for opportunities, but soon discovered that the time had entered the last 2 minutes.

In a panic, the Heat also made a mistake.

At 1 minute and 47 seconds, Yi Jian grabbed an offensive rebound and made a dunk.

Although James finally hit a shot, but in the Thunder's offense, Yi Jian cooperated with Durant again, and the latter hit a three-pointer.

The card master has elevated Durant to the point of being scary, completely ignoring defenses when he feels good.

In this way, the Heat's defense will still be attracted by Yi Jian, because Yi Jian is stronger.

Immediately afterwards, the Heat made another pass error, and their breakthrough goal can be said to have been completely controlled by the Thunder.

At this time, the Heat can only make a last-ditch effort, and both James and Wade keep trying three-pointers.

Then there is not enough time, and the Heat must conduct foul tactics.

Thunder fans feel familiar with this routine.

It seems that many teams play against them, this is the standard procedure.

They all know what's going to happen next, that is, the Thunder player firmly hits the free throw line, the Heat bet on another three-pointer, and then lose the game in despair.

The situation was similar. When the time entered the last few seconds, the two sides did not continue, and the Heat conceded again.

After the game, Heat coach Spoelstra said: "We fought to win, we kept fighting against them, but it was very difficult, we finally lost the game."

James said, "We had a chance to win the game, but we missed our shot at the critical moment. Back at home, we can't have this situation again, we must reverse the decline."

Coach Brooks said after the game: "This is the game. Every game is very attractive and competitive. We played more consistently tonight. Perhaps this is the key to winning. Both teams know each other's strengths , so persistence is more important.”

"Heat is a good team, but we have an absolute advantage in big men. We get to the basket better, and we realize that's the right way to play."

Yi Jian said: "We have always been a confident team, we will not be too worried about the result of the game. We know our value, although we did not play well in the first quarter, but we always believe that we will Have the last laugh."

"This series is very competitive, but we are very confident that we can play well on the road. Compared with them, we know what we need."
