Chapter 135 [He firmly believes that he is a little strong]
On the 21st, the Raptors' home attendance reached a new high since the start of the season, with the stadium almost full.
The funny thing is, most people came here to watch the dunk show of Yang Jian and Sean Kemp, not to cheer for the home team. This is the first season after the Raptors established the team, and there are no die-hard fans in Toronto.
There are no big-name stars on the team who can attract fans.
When Yang Jian appeared on the court, he received more applause than Damon Stoudemire. Yesterday, the NBA officially announced that Yang Jian won the best player award last week. The week before, he only lost to Anfernee Hardaway, a rookie.
Achieving such results is eye-catching.
What shocked the fans even more was that among the top ten goals last week, Yang Jian had a total of eight goals selected, almost completing the sweep.
NBA Player of the Week and Top Ten Players are selected by NBA internal officials with reference to fans' opinions and joint scoring. This is an activity developed to entertain fans. There are no actual rewards for the selected players themselves.
If I have to talk about rewards, it is that players can capture the hearts of more fans by increasing their exposure. In addition, the number of times they have won the best of the week will become an important weight for players to compete for the regular season MVP. When voting, the judges will refer to the players'
Best of the Week and Best of the Month awards, as well as regular season player data and team record.
Yang Jian received a lot of applause in the away game, which made Damon Stoudemire once again have the idea of leaving. In a parallel world, he played for the Raptors for two and a half seasons, and now he doesn't want to stay for even one season.
This is also the butterfly effect caused by Yang Jian. In the parallel world, Stoudemire and Jerry Stackhouse compete for the best rookie. The league promotes both of them heavily, and their popularity increases very quickly.
After winning the Rookie of the Year, Stoudemire was very popular in the Eastern Conference All-Star voting in the 1996-97 season, ranking sixth among guards. Now his exposure rate has been reduced by half, and the media are reluctant to mention Yang Jian.
Compare it to him. If he stays with the Raptors, he feels like he will get nothing.
I have to go, I have to escape Toronto as soon as possible. If I stay here, I will never become a superstar.
If Stoudemire and Yang Jian were friends, Yang Jian would correct his thinking and persuade him to stay with the Raptors. In the view of the time traveler, the Raptors are actually the team most suitable for the development of the "Little Flying Squirrel". Joining the Raptors
Dragon is his luck.
Because this is a new team, no big-name stars in the free market are willing to join the Raptors. The Raptors can only train Stoudemire and let him become the team's first core in his rookie season, and he can attack with the ball to his heart's content.
.
For a player with physical flaws, is there anything more exciting than this? As long as he keeps playing for the Raptors, he will be a veteran of the team and can set a series of team records. When he plays
Luxurious statistics, as long as he leads the team into the playoffs, he will be selected as an All-Star and gain both fame and fortune.
Stoudemire has played great numbers in many seasons, and may even become a symbol of the Raptors. Decades later, he will serve as a star of the Raptors to comment on newcomers. At that time, he can proudly say: "If I enter the NBA today, I will
Able to average 30 points and 20 assists per game!"
If he leaves, no team will let a 178cm tall person be the boss, and he can only be a role player.
Unfortunately, Stoudemire didn't realize how difficult it was to become a superstar. He firmly believed that he was a little strong, small but powerful, and he was so confident that he didn't usually measure his height.
In a parallel world, Stoudemire was not even selected to be an All-Star, let alone a superstar.
When he was with the Raptors, he had data but no record and was dissatisfied with the team. He just felt that the Raptors were not worthy of him. After leaving the Raptors, he lost the ball rights and data, and the new team management was dissatisfied with him. Of course not
Will give him a big contract.
This fool, with the reputation of being a defensive black hole, retired sadly after 13 seasons. As a typical black player, I don’t know if he went bankrupt after retiring. The news didn’t say it because no one cared about him after 2005.
It's over.
Yang Jian had no interest in players like Stoudemire who could not provide attribute points. He would not regard him as an opponent and was too lazy to talk to him. This deeply stung Stoudemire's self-esteem.
But he regards Yang Jian as his lifelong enemy.
Damn it, you arrogant bastard, I'm going to show you how powerful I am. The fire in Stoudemire's heart was about to explode at this moment...
After the warm-up, the starting players from both sides took the field.
SuperSonics Five: Payton, Yang Jian, Schrempf, Kemp, P.J. Brown.
Raptors five players: Damon Stoudemire, Earvin Robertson, Tracy Murray, Ed Pinckney, Oliver Miller.
The Raptors' starting lineup can only be described as "shabby", and no one is famous.
Tracy Murray is a lucky guy. He and Drexler were packaged by the Trail Blazers and sent to the Rockets in the middle of last season. He was not selected for the playoff roster, but he won a championship ring.
He is good at catching and shooting, but his other abilities are average.
Center Oliver Miller is the most conspicuous person on the Raptors because he is fat, 206cm tall and weighs 127kg. This is not Oliver's limit. In a parallel world, he weighed 150kg, which is heavier than O'Neal.
.
His obesity record was not broken until many years later by a No. 1 pick named Zion. That was even more exaggerated, with a height of only 198cm and a weight of more than 150kg at his fattest. Zion only played 85 games in 3 years and was injured.
With constant parallel imports, he was ready to retire at any time when Yang Jian traveled through time.
Oliver Miller has poor athletic ability, but he is the Raptors' best center. He can provide cover for his teammates, coordinate attacks in the high post, and can also attack in the low post. The other insiders are purely blue-collar and have little offensive power.
Shooting guard Erwin Robertson is a celebrity. He is 191cm tall and weighs 84 kilograms. He was selected as an All-Star four times in his career. He was also the seventh overall pick in the first round and was selected by the Spurs in 1984.
Robertson is a defender known for his defense and was elected the league's best defensive player in 1986.
In addition, he was selected to the All-Defensive First Team twice in 1987 and 1991; he was selected to the Second Team four times from 1986 to 1988-90. He is also the only player in NBA history to get a "quadruple-double" consisting of steals in a game.
Data player, in February 1986 against the Suns, scored 20 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists and 10 steals.
However, Robertson's condition has seriously declined. He has not played for two consecutive seasons due to back injuries and was traded twice while recuperating. He has joined the Pistons and Nuggets, but has no appearance record in either of them.
After returning, Robertson was in average form, averaging 9.2 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4 assists and 2.1 steals per game.
The referee blew the whistle and the game started. Oliver Miller jumped five centimeters while fighting for the ball and was pulled back to the ground by gravity. Kemp easily slapped the ball to Schrempf.
Schrempf passed the ball to Yang Jian who was coming down the right side without stopping. Yang Jian instantly started to get rid of Robertson, took three steps after receiving the ball, ignored Stoudemire, and smashed the ball two steps before the free throw line.
Go in! 2 to 0.
Yang Jian roared, and this fast break dunk received warm applause from the home fans. The real speed is invisible, just like you don't know when you will fall in love with someone.
Seattle Sports commentator Sheldon Lowry exclaimed: "Beautiful, Yang performed a signature split dunk at the beginning. A top-five ball performance, it is so easy for him."
Plummer Lott said with a smile: "In the last game against the Pacers, Young scored three of the top five offensive goals, two dunks, and one assist for Kemp's dunk. I don't know what wonderful performance they will have today.
The Sonics players have had two days of rest and must be very energetic."
Shelton said: "This is one of the easier games in SuperSonics' six consecutive away games. Young has a great physical advantage against Robertson, and he may score high points today."
The Raptors attacked, Stoudemire and the fat man Oliver Miller played a pick-and-roll. The fat man's screen quality was good, and he blocked Payton firmly. This is his advantage, because his body is too round.
Stoudemire showed top flexibility. After getting rid of Payton, he passed P.J. Brown with speed and reached the basket. He layup before Kemp's defense. 2 to 2.
After the goal, Stoudemire also shouted, followed Payton on defense and stretched out his hands to direct his teammates to defend. He was completely like a boss, and his teammates also listened to him because this was the right given to him by the coaching staff.
Chapter completed!
