If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 60 Season Summary
"Durant... made a [-]-pointer! It almost killed the game."

"The Nuggets adjusted again. JR-Smith replaced Martin. Now five of them can shoot three-pointers. The Nuggets are going to make a final effort."

"JR came up with an unreasonable three-point shot...It's a pity that he didn't make a hit. The Nuggets can only use foul tactics."

At the last moment, the Sonics stabilized, and the Nuggets' non-defensive policy kept them in touch.

Yi Jian and Durant scored 5 points in a row to help the team maintain the advantage, and then Durant hit 4 consecutive free throws, making the Nuggets have to admit defeat.

In this game, Yi Jian and Durant teamed up to score 70 points and won the victory. Even in terms of scoring, they also defeated the Nuggets' Golden Double Guns.

The mood of the two head coaches after the game can be said to be very different, and the media also commented that the talents of the Supersonic Twin Stars can be said to have overflowed.

That is to say, the approach of the playoffs has diverted attention, otherwise Yi Jian and Durant will cause more discussions.

Fortunately for the Nuggets, their rival Warriors also lost, which allowed them to keep the eighth place in the West.

And the Sonics, followed by another three-game losing streak.

After madness, comes reality.

The three playoff teams in the Western Conference are not so easy for the Nuggets to deal with.

The Nuggets are easy to deal with, and it will be difficult for them to win again.

The current Supersonics are not at the playoff level after all, but the gap is actually not that big.

Facing players who have played many times, Yi Jian has gained a lot less.

[The game performance is better than Rockets rookie Aaron Brooks, reward speed +1, ball control +1. 】

On April 4, the penultimate game of the Sonics regular season, the opponent is the Mavericks.

The Mavericks are now locked in seventh in the Western Conference, and there is no possibility of going up, and the Nuggets will not be able to catch up, and the Warriors are gone because of their losing streak.

So the Mavericks are also training players this time, looking at the status of role players and preparing for the playoffs.

In the first quarter, the Sonics were still no match for the Mavericks, but then the Mavericks stopped working hard, and the Sonics gradually reversed the situation.

The Sonics can still kill the playoff teams that don't work hard.

It's just that it doesn't make much sense, but Yi Jian feels that as a young player, he still has to work hard to play the game well.

After all, the home audience also pays to watch the game, and they must show professionalism.

Therefore, he and Durant still maintained their playing time and helped the team win the game.

The final game of the Sonics season is an away game against the Warriors.

This game is irrelevant for the Warriors who were eliminated in the final stage of the playoffs, but it is different for the Sonics, because their two core players are rookies.

It is the common wish of the two to end the season with a victory.

So at the start of the game, the spirit of the Sonics was different.

The Warriors, who are not very defensive and absent-minded, are not opponents of the Sonics at all.

Yi Jian and Durant scored in double figures in the first quarter, completely unstoppable.

"You can't let the two rookies be too arrogant."

"As seniors, we must let them realize the cruelty of the NBA. The end of losing seems to be more suitable for young people."

The performance of the two was too good, which also made the Warriors players a little upset.

The Warriors finally got a bench to perform, and they played very actively.

However, the Warriors' defense really couldn't stop Yi Jian and Durant, and they could only attack the Supersonics.

During the rotation period, the Warriors had a certain advantage, but when the main players came back, Yi Jian and Durant continued to lead the team to triumph.

Honestly, the Warriors have a better lineup.

But the top players among them may not really be the supersonic twin stars who have been training for a whole season.

Even when a genius has not fully grown up, it is beyond the reach of mortals.

In the third quarter, the Supersonics once again pressed the Warriors to the ground and rubbed them against the ground. Even if Ellis gave a superb performance next, it was useless.

Yi Jian scored a double-double of 29 points and 10 rebounds, while Durant scored 42 points. The two scored 71 points together, which is even more exaggerated than the Nuggets before.

This kind of performance also put a successful end to the rookie season of the two.

[Help the team win, perform well and beat Warriors rookie CJ-Watson, reward +1 for ball possession, +1 for three-pointers. 】

[Helping the team win, excellent performance and victory over Warriors rookie Marco Belinelli, reward +1 for possession, +1 for three-pointers, +1 for stability. 】

This is the end of Yi Jian's welfare mission for the rookie season, and it's time to conclude this season.

Yi Jian averaged 18.8 points and 8.2 rebounds per game.

Durant averaged 20.3 points and 4.4 rebounds per game.

The two were named to the All-Rookie Team together, and they also became the fourth player in history to share the Rookie of the Year.

Unlike the previous few times, the two of them are still teammates, and the NBA is also happy to see their success.

[Professional record, selected for the first team of the best rookie for the first time, rewarded with 10 free attribute points. 】

[Professional record, the best rookie for the first time, reward all attributes +1. 】

[Summary of the rookie season, the player's performance is in the four grades of unqualified, good, excellent, and legendary. If they get an excellent evaluation, they can choose to reward 10 free attribute points or light up new skills. 】

Yi Jian didn't think about this choice for a long time, the attribute points are naturally good, but the strength of the hunter made him understand that skills are the real bulls.

[Sniper: An open three-pointer must be hit, a fatal blow, worth having. 】

[Dealing master: never miss the pass at the top of the arc, the master will not disappoint. 】

Dealer's tactical role is more important, but Yi Jian's priority is the immediate combat power of the Olympic Games. It is impossible for the Chinese team to reformulate the tactics now, let him lead the organization and provide high-level support. It is obvious that the sniper is more suitable for him.

In this way, he can also open up space for Dayao, so that the fit between the two can be better.

After all, Yi Jian's style of rushing in is not particularly suitable for Dayao.

After careful consideration, Yi Jian chose the sniper for his second skill.

For his 10 attribute points, he added 5 points to confrontation, 2 points to rebounding, and 3 points to defense.

This allows him to be more selective as an insider.

It is also for the performance of the national team. After all, in the Olympics, Yi Jian could not ignore defense like he did in the Supersonics.

In many cases, he has to take on greater responsibilities. When Dayao is resting, he has to withstand the inside.

Through the whole season, Yi Jian also has a more objective understanding of the data.

60 is the standard for entering the NBA, and 80 is the All-Star level. Yi Jian now, even if he doesn't rely on skills, he still has the level of a weak All-Star at the power forward position.

His current basketball statistics are much stronger than at the beginning, and the Olympics will definitely help the national team.

[Basketball data (full value 100), strength: 82, speed: 83, bounce: 80, three-pointer: 71, mid-range shot: 82, layup: 67, dunk: 74, post-up: 62, confrontation: 80, defense : 76, Ball Handling: 73, Passing: 58, Steals: 54, Rebounds: 80, Blocks: 66, Stability: 87. 】
