Chapter 708: Kevin Durant who is improving again
Yi Jianlian returned to the No. 4 position and used his performance to let the entire league know that a super No. 4 position appeared in the league.
His defensive performance was quickly made into a highlight that appeared on the list of 29 other head coaches in the league who must be careful.
Westbrook should be the first player to know that Yi Jianlian is good at defense, after all, if it wasn't for Yi Jianlian who turned to the inside to defend in the next two games last season, they really wouldn't be so easy to solve.
Kevin Durant took the ball and faced Grant Hill, and a very big move in front of the body change of direction was also directly dangled in front of the latter.
Then, hit the ball with ease.
This set of actions is really smooth.
Kevin Durant's offense now seems to be on a different level.
His further growth is also the reason why the entire Thunder team can rank first in the league.
"In the past two years, I have seen Yi's dominance on the offensive end, and it is hard for me to think that there are players who can play like him, and it is not until now that I see Kevin Durant, I realize that there is really no shortage of geniuses in this world, but the appearance of these two guys makes other talents seem not so geniuses!"
Kevin Durant is currently averaging 32.2 points per game, which puts him at the top of the scoring list, and he has finally surpassed Yi Jianlian once in the past three or four years.
Yi Jianlian has scored only around 29 points so far this season, the first time in the past four years of his career that he has not averaged more than 30 points on the field.
But this season he still has a shooting percentage of over 60 percent.
At the same time, his average number of blocks per game has also ranked first in the league before the "Christmas War", and he can contribute an average of 2.4 blocks per game.
The average number of rebounds per game has also risen, reaching around 13 rebounds.
With his current efficiency in rebounding, I'm afraid he will soon be able to reach the top of the rebounding list!
If he eventually becomes the rebounding champion this season, then he will become another player after Chamberlain to win the scoring title, rebounding king, block king, and assist king.
Of course, with his current stance, he's on the verge of becoming the best defensive player.
These honors are placed before his name, and Yi Jianlian's dominance over this alliance will also be even greater.
What Bill Wharton didn't say in his heart was ...... Even Kevin Durant can only be close to Yi Jianlian in terms of scoring, and as for other aspects, he is really inferior to Yi Jianlian.
The current Yi Jianlian, so to speak, is a strengthened version of LeBron James!
Maybe it would be shocking to say this, LeBron James, what a genius guy, known as a genius once in twenty years, Yi Jianlian is actually his enhanced version, how can this not be surprising!
Bill Wharton was also afraid of scaring others by saying it, so he didn't say such a thing, but think about it carefully, isn't Yi Jianlian a strengthened version of LeBron James?
No matter which aspect shows dominance, it is an all-round player who is better than LeBron James, and the key thing that LeBron James does not have, he still has!
Such a guy, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a strengthened version of LeBron James.
"Phew!"
LeBron's enhanced version also got the ball in the Knicks' offense that round, dribbling to face Ibaka, he hit a back-to-back strong shot, and then turned directly and completed the dunk with ease!
With Yi Jianlian's ability and his perverted physical fitness, no matter what position he plays, it is all misplaced, even if Ibaka is already a No. 4 position with strong athletic ability, but in front of Yi Jianlian, he still has no way to do single defense.
There was no way to stop it at all, so he could only watch Yi Jianlian finish scoring.
This is also the reason for Yi Jianlian's high shooting rate this season, the closer to the basket, the higher the shooting rate, this sentence is a sentence that is okay no matter how many years.
Yi Jianlian returned to the No. 4 position, shooting a lot less on the outside, basically only choosing three-point shots, or all offensive baskets.
After all, Yi Jianlian's No. 4 position is either a high position or a low position, and these two positions, no matter how Yi Jianlian chooses, China Investment is the most inefficient way.
Yi Jianlian must shake off the space if he wants to shoot, but since he can shake off the vacant position, with his current physical fitness, why not directly attack the basket to complete the score?
Aren't they all two points?
And in the case of not going to kill inside, instead of choosing to shoot, it is better to take a step back and shoot directly outside the three-point line, and if he hits, he can score one more point.
And the speed of the No. 4 player, Ibaka is already the extreme, the vast majority of the rest of the league's No. 4 position is inferior to Ibaka, and even Ibaka can't completely keep up with Yi Jianlian's speed in single defense, how can anyone else keep up?
Yi Jianlian can be said to have enough time and space to retreat outside the three-point line to complete the shot.
In short, at this stage of his career, for Yi Jianlian, the choice of playing style in the No. 4 position has become simpler, but for him, it is undoubtedly the most efficient.
The same is true for this game.
Easily go to the basket to complete the dunk.
Yi Jianlian listened to the cheers of the audience when he returned to the defense, and he also raised his hand and waved, he was responding to the audience, but his response to the audience was more energetic.
The cheers are getting louder!
This is Yi Jianlian's popularity in Madison today, and his every move can easily make the audience cheer.
The Thunder attacked with cheers, and Kevin Durant asked for the ball again, but this time, Yi Jianlian didn't watch him single Hill.
When Kevin Durant wanted to shake Hill away directly, he stepped up with an arrow, Kevin Durant reacted quickly, and the two hands that were ready to hold the ball were released again at this time, and he played a trick of "worshipping Buddha"!
This action made the audience at the scene have some lower voices, this trick is really not playable by big men, they have seen Yi Jianlian play, but now they have seen Kevin Durant play this trick, which makes them slightly surprised by Kevin Durant's talent.
Accustomed to seeing Yi Jianlian, they rarely sigh at other stars, but Kevin Durant is that rare guy.
His talent is truly outstanding!
Kevin Durant was intercepted by Yi Jianlian, so he could only pull the ball down again and find a way to kill inside. However, Hill didn't give him any more space to dribble this time, and directly blocked it.
Kevin Durant simply didn't do anything, and went straight to the basket against him.
This year's Kevin Durant, the changes in physical confrontation are also very obvious, and he is no longer afraid of physical confrontation in the general No. 3 position.
"Huh!"
The ball is scored again!
"Kevin Durant used these two balls to show everyone how much he's improved this season!"
