Chapter 117 [Piston Gentleman VS International Superstar]

After the evening sports news was broadcast, many Americans knew about Yang Jian's 61 points. It was the first time in history for a rookie to score 60, and it was also done by a Chinese player. How could it not attract attention?

In fact, Yang Jian has become an international superstar and quickly became famous.

If you want to choose a super sports star who can represent Asia, many people will choose Yang Jian now, even though he is a rookie who has just joined the NBA.

Although Yang Jian has not yet won an NBA championship or important personal honors, he has had an amazing influence in Asia. As a Chinese, he went to the United States alone to enter the NBA, and relied on his strength to gain a foothold in a sports league with serious racial discrimination.

, breaking the historical record. He is creating a miracle, which cannot be compared with other Asian world champions in less popular sports.

The physical fitness of the yellow race is recognized as the weakest, not as good as that of blacks and whites. This is one of the reasons why Asians are discriminated against in Europe and the United States. They are not strong enough. Even if Bruce Lee made Europeans and Americans aware of Chinese Kung Fu, he was only an actor and had no actual combat results.

Yang Jian broke the stereotypes that Europeans and Americans have about Asians. People were surprised to find that yellow people can use their speed and basketball skills to beat black guards who are stronger than themselves, and dunk on white centers who are 229cm tall. They are too powerful.

This is not a movie, this is one of the most competitive sports, the strongest basketball league in the world.

An interview video in which Yang Jian said that he was better than Grant Hill was also broadcast. Most fans thought he was cool and were not disgusted with it.

Because the fans think what he said is true. Yang Jian is comparing Jordan, and Hill is comparing Pippen. Do you still need to ask which one is better? Try letting Hill score 60 points in a single game? Hill can't even score.

.His current highest score in a single game is 37 points against the Pacers, and they lost 93-100.

Yang Jian's arrogance in talking is not a shortcoming, it makes him more topical.

Nicknamed "Madman", Sprewell was selected to the All-NBA First Team in the second season of his career. His data that year was 21 points, 4.9 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 2.2 steals per game, and his field goal percentage was 43.3%.

In 1994, the Warriors finished sixth in the Western Conference in the regular season and were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. Why should Sprewell be selected for the first team due to his average data? The answer is that he is crazy enough and has high exposure. In 1995, he continued his efforts and was selected as a Western Conference All-Star.

First release.

How crazy is Sprewell in the parallel world? The most classic thing has not happened yet. In the 1997-98 season, he almost strangled Warriors coach Carlesimo and was suspended for 68 games. He did not play the rest of the season. In

During the suspension period, he was prosecuted for speeding. He hit two people at 90 miles per hour and was sentenced to three months of house arrest.

After his comeback, Sprewell's popularity remained high despite his decline. In 2001, he was selected as an All-Star. In terms of strength, this man averaged 24.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, 6.3 assists, 1.7 steals and 4 turnovers per game at his peak, and his field goal percentage had never reached 45.

%.

Because of Yang Jian's speech, the Sonics' back-to-back games were also heated up.

Although it was not a nationally broadcast match, it attracted a lot of media attention. They sent reporters to follow up the report and wanted to know for the first time how Yang Jian vs. Hill would play out.

Chinese media also reported that Yang Jian scored 61 points in the game, comparable to Malone, Jordan, Larry Bird and other big-name stars. How shocking is this news? Magic Johnson has never scored 60 points, and his career high is 46 points in a single game.

.

After people read the news, they began to discuss Yang Jian again.

"Is it so easy for him to score in the NBA? Is 61 points crazy? This is his first season."

"Those who say that the national team's perimeter players are not much worse than Yang Jian, but they just don't have the chance to go to the NBA, can shut up. If you want to compare with Yang Jian, first score 60 points in the CBA before talking. The CBA level is incomparable with the NBA.

It’s difficult for national team stars to score 50 points.”

"There will definitely be a breakthrough in next year's Olympic Games, but I don't know if Yang Jian can lead the team to win a medal. If he wins a bronze medal, it will be a historic breakthrough."

"Will this game be broadcast on Saturday? I really want to know how beautifully he played. When can we watch NBA live broadcast? It's best to broadcast all SuperSonics games."

"Erlang Shen is too strong. The SuperSonics have won all the games, and the Bulls have even lost. I think even if the Bulls play against the SuperSonics, it will be difficult to get an advantage."

Chinese fans believe that Yang Jian is the top star in the NBA, and the data proves everything. No one knew who Stackhouse was before, but I heard that he was ranked third in the draft and was the successor to Jordan, which made him feel very powerful.

"No one can stop Stackhouse from becoming the next Jordan." This sentence became the best praise for Yang Jian. Stackhouse's statistics were not bad. Yang Jian did not stop him from scoring, but he scored more

More points.

Because of Yang Jian's eye-catching performance on the court, no one has noticed that there is a Hollywood female star flying away with him to watch the game live. Yang Jian's exposure rate is much higher than that of Drew Barrymore.

The management of many NBA teams are preparing to send people to China to have a look. Maybe there are good talents like Yang Jian in China, but they have not been discovered. Which team would not want such a non-drafted NBA player?

?

Before the game started, a local reporter interviewed Grant Hill and asked him to evaluate Yang Jian.

Hill said sternly: "Yang is very strong. His performance of 40 times three times and 60 points once in 7 games is simply incredible. He is a super scorer. I will work hard to defend him and put a lot of energy into the defensive end. I am not very

I value personal data and want to win this game."

Hill is as low-key as ever. He knows very well that he can't compare with Yang Jian's statistics. Moreover, the overall strength of the Pistons is not as good as the SuperSonics and it is difficult to win. He has to keep a low profile.

He has no confidence to beat Yang Jian today, let alone lead the Pistons to defeat the SuperSonics. The SuperSonics are in terrible shape this season, ranking first in the league in offense, scoring over 100 points in every game, or even over 120 points. It is difficult for the Pistons to score over 100 points.

Relying on defense and teamwork to win, Hill, who scored the most points, only averaged 20 points per game.

The current Pistons have already changed. During the All-Star Game that year, Isiah Thomas said, "I can squeeze out whoever I want!", and there was retribution after 1992. The bad boy who was still on top of the world a few years ago

They are torn apart and living in different places.

Now this is a rebuilt Pistons team that can't even get past the first round of the playoffs. Hill is not a bad boy, he is labeled as a "gentleman".

In the locker room, Pistons coach Doug Collins emphasized the defense of Yang Jian and adjusted the lineup.

"Today Alan (Houston) is on the bench, and Grant starts at No. 2 against Yang Jian. You try your best to follow him, and the inside players should pay attention to help defend and don't let him catch the ball easily. His jump shot is very accurate, and it will be troublesome if he misses the shot.

"

The coach knows that the offense of the team with Alan Houston is better, but he will definitely not be able to guard against Yang Jian. The athletic abilities of the two are obviously not on the same level, and Houston also suffers from the confrontation.

Houston is not yet the future mid-range shooting king. He will run and shoot many three-pointers in every game. He is 198cm tall, weighs only 91kg, and has a very soft style of play.

In the visiting team's locker room, George Karl arranged the same tactics as in the previous game. Arranged defensive tactics? No, they had to kill the opponent directly with bayonets.

"In positional battles, Yang moves around a lot and catches the ball when he gets the chance, attracting inside players to help defend and double-team and quickly transfer the ball to teammates inside. Gary organizes the offense and can find pick-and-rolls to break through on the weak side and prevent the opponent's shots.

Push forward at full speed and fight back. We will win 8 consecutive victories today!"

The players did not chant winning slogans. Payton and Kemp are both quiet stars. Yang Jian wanted to boost morale, but he was the least senior and it was inappropriate to take the lead in shouting slogans.

Fortunately, this will not affect the team's morale. Everyone is used to this kind of locker room atmosphere, and they will become more passionate after playing.

After staying in the locker room for a while, the players from both sides came out on time to warm up, and then the starters stood in the middle of the court.

Grant Hill thought that Yang Jian would be as provocative as Payton, and said something to him before the game started to make him irritated. In the end, Yang Jian did not provoke him, but just smiled at him.

Yang Jian is different from Payton. He doesn't need to talk trash to his opponents unless someone actively provokes him.
