The game resumes.

When Kevin Garnett saw that the person standing in front of him had become Yi Jianlian, he was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Yi Jianlian to suddenly turn to the fourth position.

At the same time, there was also a bitterness in his heart, and now Yi Jianlian's appearance in front of anyone would give him a headache, this guy is indeed not a guy who can defend by his personal ability alone.

This is a guy who is at the peak of his personal abilities.

And he has long lost the sharpness of the year, and now when he encounters the latter, he can only be pressed to the ground and rubbed all kinds of friction.

This is what he can imagine, and this is also the reason, in Yi Jianlian's view, this is the New York Knicks who intend to use him as a breakthrough!

This is where Kevin Garnett feels a little unhappy, although the wolf king is old, but he has definitely not fallen to the point of becoming a breakthrough.

It's just that when he thought that Yi Jianlian would frequently hold the ball and play alone, the Knicks' offense was more attacked by James Harden holding the ball on the outside.

James Harden has indeed adapted to his new identity, as a ball carrier, he will no longer look for Yi Jianlian's position when he has the opportunity, but will concentrate on attacking.

But his overall state today was indeed a little poor, and only two balls went into the basket in the end of several shots, but it is worth affirming that although only two balls went into the basket, the Knicks scored these attacks.

The reason is simple!

The Knicks protected all the rebounds during this time, and their basket, which originally seemed to be a disadvantage, turned into an advantage from the second quarter.

The player who brought such a huge change naturally ran from the No. 3 position to Yi Jianlian, who was at the No. 4 position, grabbed the offensive rebound three times, and then used his feet to complete the second offense under the basket.

One thing to say, just these few times the second offense under the basket even makes Yi Jianlian feel easier than killing on the outside, his height and his current strength, and his still excellent speed combined, making him a very smart No. 4 position, Kevin Garnett can't stop him, Lopez's traditional No. 5 position does not have his speed and flexibility, as long as his prediction is accurate, then no guy can stop him from snatching the rebound.

"This guy, when he focuses on one thing, he becomes extraordinary!" Bill Walton was also surprised by Yi Jianlian's dominance under the basket.

Yi Jianlian is definitely not the No. 5 position in the traditional sense, he does not have that much weight, although his strength is outstanding, but his range of movement is by no means only in the three-second zone, he will not be out of the three-second zone and will not be useful, but he does dominate the penalty area of this game, whether it is Kevin Garnett or Lopez, there is no way to stop his play.

The Knicks gradually gained the upper hand.

But the reason why they can gradually gain the upper hand is not only because rebounding has regained their advantage, but more importantly, because Yi Jianlian is a threat on the defensive end.

His defensive range is comparable to that of Kevin Garnett, and Joe Johnson's mid-range shot from inside the three-point line was directly fanned out by him.

The ball directly caused a huge cheer from the New York fans at the scene.

It was also this goal that made Bill Walton praise repeatedly: "This is really good, we said after the Finals last season, don't underestimate Yi's defensive ability, he is the best defensive player level defender, and now, in this game against the Nets, we have seen his dominance on the defensive end again, anyone who wants to shoot a goal in the Knicks chassis must think carefully about whether they are sure to throw the ball in their hands!" ”

"Yi is really amazing!"

The Nets played more passively under Yi Jianlian's defensive dominance, and after James Harden regained his touch, the situation on the court of the Nets became more severe.

In the end, after Ray Allen made a three-pointer on the court, the Knicks directly stretched the difference to more than 12 points, and the Nets completely lost their sharpness after this three-point shot, and the Knicks played steadily and took the game down.

Yi Jianlian scored 25 points in this game, which was his new season low, and he couldn't even remember the last time he only scored 25 points, but he got 18 rebounds, in addition to 18 rebounds, he also got 3 blocks, showing his dominance on the inside to the fullest.

And this game was also transferred from him to the No. 4 position before the Knicks gradually grasped the initiative.

For this game, fans are naturally talking:

"Has Yi's dominance in the fourth position reached this level? Wow, if he hadn't moved to the No. 3 position, I'm afraid there would be another legendary No. 4 in NBA history. ”

"For the whole league, it's now a whole new era, and now the No. 4 position is dominated by functional players, and there are mostly players who can grab rebounds, but I have to mention that Yi is the best player in this league, I mean, no matter what position he is, he is the best player in that position!"

"This game gave me a new understanding of Yi, as a fan who has watched the ball for more than ten years, I have seen too many geniuses, Kevin Garnett who played from the No. 1 position to the No. 5 position once made me feel that there are too many perverts in this league, but Yi let me see the existence of another more perverted genius, no matter where he is in the position he is the most talented guy!"

……

Fans have a lot of discussions about Yi Jianlian's performance in this game, Yi Jianlian has not won 18 rebounds in a single game, he has gotten it, but when he appeared in front of everyone as a defensive warrior in the restricted area today, it really amazed many fans!

However, Yi Jianlian didn't take these seriously in the face of the surprise of so many fans: "I just want to win the game, as long as I can win the game, I can do any try, including grabbing more rebounds in the game, to complete more defenses, this is part of the game, if I need to do these things, then I will do what I can!" ”

Yi Jianlian didn't just say it, but added all this to the actual action, he still played in the next game as the No. 4 position, in this game, he once again got 20 rebounds, plus his 28 points scored, this is the first time in his career to complete the "20 plus 20" data!

In the 6th season of his career, Yi Jianlian launched an attack on the third championship of the New York Knicks and his own fourth championship with a new attitude!
