Chapter 632: Yi Jianlian on the defensive end

Yi Jianlian alone guarded against the "Big Three".

This made the entire Madison Square in New York become a sea of cheers, and in this ocean, everyone's eyes were on Yi Jianlian.

This man is really amazing!

He can contribute that kind of energy on the defensive end.

Spoelstra was also stunned, he never thought that Yi Jianlian's offensive ability was excellent, and now he even has such a good defensive ability!

LeBron James is a top-3 superstar in the league, Wade's current form is a bit down, and it's not an exaggeration to say that he is a top-seven superstar.

Chris Paul has sunk in the scolding for the past two years, but if you really want to say it, this guy's offensive ability is at least the league's first-line level, and it can be seen from his offense in the first few rounds that this guy's offensive ability is also maintained well, if he is allowed to hold the ball in his hands, the effect of playing on the offensive end may not be much worse than the other two giants.

But these three superstars were all folded under Yi Jianlian's hands, and under his defensive deterrence, none of these three guys could put the ball in the basket.

"I suddenly remembered something, Yi doesn't seem to have won the best defensive player award yet, right?" Barkley thought of something and asked Kenny Smith.

"It's true that I haven't got it yet, of course, it's normal, compared to his defensive ability, I think, more people pay attention to his ability on the offensive end, which no one can deny!" Kenny Smith said, "When we're talking about a player, we always look at how many points he scores, and then we talk about other aspects of his performance, which is something that can't be done because scoring can often represent a lot of things, but after a few rounds, I think we need to have a good discussion about how good Yi's defensive ability is!" ”

Kenny Smith was lost in his own thoughts, completely oblivious to what was happening on the field, but after he had finished a long sentence, a loud cheer brought his eyes back to the court.

Yi Jianlian rewarded Chris Bosh with a big hat on the defensive end, and the hat Chris Bosh was covered with a stumbling whole person, and he almost didn't fall.

Yi Jianlian took the ball.

However, the Heat's return defense was still fast enough, and the fast break didn't work in the end.

However, this is the fourth consecutive offensive miss for the Heat, and their efficiency is simply unsightly low in terms of efficiency.

Spoelstra himself didn't expect that he originally just wanted to make some arrangements for Yi Jianlian's physical fitness, but it turned out to be a show for Yi Jianlian to make a name for himself on the defensive end.

The "Big Three" were educated by him on the defensive end one by one, and they were powerless to fight back.

What's worse is that although Yi Jianlian did not perform on the offensive end during this time, the offensive efficiency of the entire New York team is not bad, 4 attacks have been played 2 times, and the 50% shooting rate is really not low for a team.

If you compare it to the Heat's 4-0 shooting during this time, this efficiency can even be called efficient.

One thing he had to admit was that Yi Jianlian ruled the league in another way, and some of the things he showed in this game were surprising, because these were some things that he had never shown, or some things that were deliberately ignored by many people.

"Wow, Yi is amazing, he actually has such defensive ability, this is something I didn't expect, all the reports about Yi are that he dominates the offensive end, and on a night like today, obviously, he dominates the defensive end, and he tells everyone why he is the number one man in the league!"

"In the past, we usually called a guy who has done the ultimate on both offensive and defensive ends a superstar, a top 1 star in the league, but when we discuss Yi Jianlian, we tend to ignore this matter, we just look at some of the dominance he shows on the offensive end, and we can't wait to put him on the throne, and now he is on the throne, by the way, he shows us his defensive ability!"

"We never ask a team core to deliberately perform something on the defensive end, because there is no need at all, and now, Yi Jianlian once again told us with practical actions that there is really no need!"

At the same time, it can be seen from the comments of the online audience that everyone was surprised by Yi Jianlian's defensive ability, and at the same time felt very taken for granted, in their opinion, the performance of the league's first person at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends is not questionable.

The morale of the Heat team was affected, Yi Jianlian's defensive ability exceeded their expectations, and this defensive ability did have a great impact on their game rhythm, and the players on the court, including the Big Three of the Heat, didn't know how to play at this time.

No matter how big a reaction they will have, the "Big Three take turns to challenge the opponent's core and consume the physical strength of the opponent's core" This style of play is that they have won one after another this season, allowing them to fight until the Eastern Conference Finals, but now, their style of play is actually out of order, how can they not be affected, and this impact is still very serious, they dare not challenge Yi Jianlian again, but Yi Jianlian seems to be addicted to defense, with him as the core, the New York team has established a very good defensive system.

Of course, another key factor in this defensive system is that Yi Jianlian has Tyson Chandler behind him, and this guy was the second place in the Best Defensive Player award last year.

With his blessing and Yi Jianlian's physical talent, it is natural not to say how powerful the defensive system he has built is.

The Heat's offense didn't improve much in the rest of the day, and they only scored 10 points in the time that followed, and six of those 10 points came from the free throw line.

You can imagine how difficult it is to score!

Yi Jianlian devoted himself to defense during this time, he completed 2 more blocks, and at the end of halftime, he didn't shoot much in the following time except for scoring a few points in a row, and only scored 4 points after a full game.

But when halftime came, the New York team had stretched the deficit to 16 points.

Yi Jianlian didn't score, but the Heat team couldn't chase the point difference, and it can still be seen from here how good the New York team's defense was during this time.

Of course, having said that, the real mistake is still with the Heat, and they shouldn't have troubled Yi Jianlian.
