"A very interesting set of data, in the three finals that have been played, when Yi appeared in the No. 3 position, the Thunder team's outside defensive shooting rate was only 33 percent, while the inside shooting rate was as high as 60 percent, and the entire Thunder team accounted for more than 67 percent of the shots during this time, and this data increased in turn with the three finals!"

"And when Yi appeared at the No. 4 position, the Thunder's outside shooting rate suddenly increased to 45 percent, but their interior shooting rate was only 42 percent, and the overall shooting percentage also changed from 67 percent to 50 percent."

"In addition, when Yi is on the inside, the Knicks only lose 1.33 rebounds in the backcourt, and when he goes to the outside, that number increases to about three."

"The reason why this statistic is listed is also very simple, we really underestimated Yi's defensive ability! His defensive ability is far better than we thought! ”

"Yi has shown us his growth in the past two finals, originally he was omnipotent on the scoring end, and then he was omnipotent on the entire offensive end, and what impressed me the most in the entire finals this year is his defensive ability, due to Amare's season reimbursement, this team's interior has encountered a very serious challenge, but I have to say that this team has Yi really helped them solve too many problems, in fact, it can be seen in the last game they finally won, Yi on the defensive end very well limited the Thunder's impact on the New York Knicks' interior, so to speak, the next two games are very difficult for the entire New York Knicks to win, and this is not easy because Yi has made a huge contribution on the defensive end to be able to get through the danger, so to speak, if it is not easy to have such a sense of presence on the defensive end, this game is said to be impossible to win! ”

"Although this point of view has been put forward for a long time, especially recently there have been more and more of this view, but, I still have to say that Yi's defensive ability is really underestimated, we are just surprised by his performance on the offensive end, but we ignore his performance on the defensive end many times, and it is also for this reason that when we look back at Yi's performance on the defensive end, I have to admit that Yi's defensive ability is really good, We'd be surprised if he didn't appear on the list for next season's Defensive Player of the Year! ”

After the third game, ESPN columnist Chris gave a detailed account of Yi Jianlian's defensive ability, and the reason why he was still writing about Yi Jianlian's defensive ability after the big score came to 3-0, instead of boasting about the fourth championship trophy in team history that the New York Knicks are about to get, and it is also the first back-to-back two consecutive championships they have won in so many years of campaigning. It's all because there are really a lot of experts saying that Yi Jianlian's defensive ability is underestimated by too many people.

Judging from Chris's summary of Yi Jianlian's defensive performance in the three games of the Finals, this team is really underestimated.

And it's that kind of great neglect, in Chris's impression, the defensive statistics played by Yi in these three games can be said to be historic.

"It's hard to imagine a player who can reach this level, it's really incredible defensive stats, and now I finally understand why the Heat are being eliminated 4-0 and why the Thunder are being beaten 3-0, and there is no other reason than because this New York Knicks have the presence of Yi!"

……

It's just that this summary report on Yi Jianlian's defensive ability obviously can't attract enough attention at this juncture, of course, this is also normal, the New York Knicks brought the big score to 3-0, and they can win the championship by winning one more game, in this case, it is indeed difficult for anyone to keep a normal mind to read such a post, the reason is also very simple, no matter how strong Yi's defensive strength is, in the hearts of fans, he has been recognized as the first in the history of the Knicks, the same, They have also recognized Yi Jianlian's contribution to the Knicks.

Now that we all know that he is very good, as for how good he is, it is really not what they need to know now, and they can't wait for the fourth game to come.

Because they can't wait to see the New York Knicks lift the cup.

……

And under the expectation of this group of fans who are looking forward to seeing the birth of the championship, the fourth game of the finals has officially begun, for the arrival of this game, the Thunder team naturally hopes to come more slowly, because they really don't want to see the New York Knicks win the cup on their home court, they don't want to see the Thunder's home fans show disappointed expressions, for these young guys, what they want to see is the laughter of these fans.

Of course, they also know that this year should end in disappointment.

After all, the big score has come to 3-0.

Seriously, if there is a little miracle to look forward to, they will not be so depressed, but they know that in the NBA finals, including the NBA playoffs, there has never been a series that can be overtaken after falling behind 0-3, that is, after they lost the last game, they have still been sentenced to death, and there is no room for recovery.

However, for the Thunder players, they really don't have a bit of a heart, at least they still have a little bit of will to fight in this game, and we don't want to see the New York Knicks lift the championship trophy on their home court, and they would rather lose in Game 5 than in Game 4.

This is their last will, and it is also the little bit of hard work they have left in the end, and it is also for this goal, they fought very fiercely tonight.

It can be said that so far in the finals, they really haven't been as fierce as this game.

So they also took the lead in the first quarter of the game.

Of course, their first-quarter lead didn't send any smiles to the Thunder's home fans, a script that had been there before.

So Thunder fans don't believe that the Thunder can win this game.

And when I think that the entire Thunder team is down 0-3, these fans really want to laugh and don't feel that mood.
