Chapter 302 [Set a goal, show your face opportunity]
Yang Jian played alone in this quarter and did not assist his teammates once.
But the fans were very happy, cheering and applauding wildly for Yang Jian. The fans didn't care how many points other players scored or what data they got. Many people now want to see Yang Jian score 6010!
It's not garbage time for the Sonics to lead by 18 points. Yang Jian can continue to play in the final quarter.
Everyone in the Eagles was a little confused. They played the most scoring game this season, but fell behind by a big score.
The Eagles are not a strong offensive team. Wilkens is an old-school coach who values teamwork and positional warfare. He rarely scores high scores after coaching the Eagles. Last season, the Eagles averaged only 98.3 points per game and did not break 100 points per game.
I scored less in a few games, and it was difficult to score over 90 points in a game.
It is worth mentioning that Bob Weiss, the first assistant coach of the SuperSonics, once coached the Hawks. When he coached the Hawks, the team had a strong offensive power and averaged 107.5 points per game in the 1992-93 season. However, the Hawks lost an average of 108.4 points per game.
, the winning rate is barely more than half.
Bob Weis and George Karl have a good rapport. Both of them are coaches who advocate offense to win. Together, they have caused the current Sonics team to be seriously biased. Defense mainly relies on the individual abilities of the players, not the system.
The Eagles coach and players couldn't see any hope of winning. They were completely trapped in their opponent's rhythm. But they couldn't play at the familiar slow pace. That would be a trap for themselves and they would lose miserably.
Wilkens was at a loss and couldn't think of a way to restrict Yang Jian.
The main reason was that Yang Jian had too many assists in the first half, which gave people the impression that he could not double-team tightly and would always assist his teammates. In the third quarter, Yang Jian suddenly changed his style to score points, catching the Eagles off guard.
Should we resolutely double-team Yang Jian in the final quarter? Wilkens couldn't make up his mind.
If Yang Jian delivers eight more assists in the final quarter, the Hawks will be nailed to the pillar of shame forever. Data like 50 points and 20 assists is unheard of in the basketball world. The previous maximum was 4,020.
Some players can not only get 20 assists, but also score 30 points. So how difficult is it? Only 8 people in NBA history have achieved such an achievement.
Ranked first is Oscar Robertson, who has scored 43 points and 20 assists in the game, and has scored 4,020 more than once. The second is Archibald, who has also scored 4,020 assists many times.
, third place is Kevin Johnson, who scored 37 points and 20 assists.
In addition, Cousy scored 31 points and 28 assists, Kevin Porter scored 32 points and 22 assists, the Smiling Assassin scored 30 points and 20 assists, Magic also scored 32 points and 20 assists, and Mohammed Abdul-Rauf also scored
They have scored 30 points and 20 assists. It is worth mentioning that they only got 3020 data once.
With the improvement of various NBA rules, it is very difficult to obtain such data. No one has produced such luxurious data for many years. Now, Yang Jian is definitely capable of producing 3020, as long as he wants to do so.
Wilkens was not sure how Yang Jian would play in the final quarter. The only adjustment he could make was to replace Mutombo on the court and strengthen the defense inside. He had a hunch that this would be of no use as Yang Jian was shooting crazy from the outside.
He also has terrifying speed, and high center forwards cannot guard him.
Yang Jian originally had no goal, but after realizing that his hands were getting hot, he set a goal for himself. He still had to focus on scoring in the final quarter, and planned to score 70 points first to make Jordan sick.
As long as he scores 19 points in the final quarter, his personal single-game scoring record will surpass Jordan. With his current state, this is entirely possible. He will never give up this opportunity to show his face.
What should he do if he is double-teamed? He should counterattack desperately. It is difficult for the opponent to double-team during the counterattack. Furthermore, when his teammates are shooting, he must actively rush for offensive rebounds and strive for second offensive opportunities to prevent leaks in defense.
People recognized it.
Reporters are all aware that big news is going to happen tonight, and hope that Yang Jian can continue to score in the final quarter and set a career high. The media now likes to compare Yang Jian and Jordan, which is full of gimmicks and attracts attention.
Even if he cannot surpass Jordan today, he can at least be on par with Jordan. This is something that other young stars cannot do. It is difficult for others to score 50 points.
Jordan's career scoring record is 69 points. On March 28, 1990, the Bulls defeated the Cavaliers 117-113 in overtime.
Jordan played 50 minutes, making 23 of 37 shots, 2 of 6 three-pointers, and 21 of 23 free throws. He scored a career-high 69 points, plus 18 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals and 1 block. So far, Jordan is the only player in NBA history to score 69 points.
A player who scored at least 65 points, 15 rebounds and 5 assists in a single game.
Yang Jian wants to surpass Jordan in all aspects. He believes that he has an advantage in scoring. Jordan mainly shoots two-pointers, and it takes a lot of shots to score high scores. Yang Jian needs fewer shots to score high scores, so he will definitely do it.
Get a higher rating.
Just do it when you think of it. Yang Jian directly told his coach George Karl about his idea of getting high scores.
"You are right to have this idea. If you want to become a superstar, you must have data." George Karl supported his decision and immediately arranged for his teammates to create opportunities for him like they did in the third quarter.
The teammates have no objections, as long as Yang Jian doesn't play like this every game. Yang Jian can catch the ball and throw it, and Payton can also collect assist data. He is familiar with this job.
At the beginning of the final quarter, the Eagles players scored first. Mutombo screened his teammates, cut to the basket, received the pass with his back, turned around and hit the hook. 107 to 91.
Veteran Buck Williams was sent on the court again. He was too tall when facing Mutombo. George Karl gave Williams the task of defending and protecting backcourt rebounds. After grabbing the rebound, he immediately passed it to his teammates to start the game.
Fight back.
In the SuperSonics position battle, the players all spread out, creating enough room for Yang Jian to break through. Yang Jian held the ball in the middle and singled out Steve Smith without any intention of passing the ball.
Yang Jian didn't take much time from getting the ball to taking the shot. He was still outside the three-point line. Even if the opponent wanted to double-team, it would be difficult for him to do so in time. He used Harden's style of play, cross-stepping and testing, and the opponent's body moved laterally.
Just step back and shoot. If the opponent leans forward, consider breaking through with the ball.
As long as the player's physical fitness is good enough, combined with speed and strength, he can forcefully pass people if there is a little space.
Smith is slower than Yang Jian, so how can he dare to step forward easily? Yang Jian saw the opportunity and made a step-back jump shot with his right foot. The opponent had already guarded his face, but his hands were hot today and he made the shot after looking at the basket for a moment.
!110 to 91.
When the Eagles attacked, Smith felt Stackhouse's sadness. Yang Jian resolutely refused to guard him from shooting and deliberately lowered his center of gravity to keep the distance. This is an insult to a player who thinks he is very capable and a star.
When Smith takes action, it seems that he has fallen into the opponent's plan, which is exactly what the opponent wants. If he doesn't take a shot, he is incompetent. How can he be a star if he doesn't dare to take a shot in an open position? It's so embarrassing.
Smith's shooting percentage in the open space today was very high, and he scored another three-pointer from the left side. 110 to 94.
Yang Jian moved to catch the ball without the ball, using exactly the same style of play as before. This time his three-point shot on the right side was deflected due to interference. Kemp used his bouncing power to pull the ball out, and Schrempf picked it up.
When it came to basketball, it was passed to Yang Jian again.
After Yang Jian shot a three-pointer, he glanced at the basketball and cut away, predicting that the ball would bounce towards Kemp. Smith did not follow up, thinking that he was defensive. Yang Jian took the ball and rushed towards the basket, attracting Mutombo to cover up.
Then he deliberately bumped into him and made physical contact. Then he tilted his body and threw the ball toward the basket.
The ball did not go in, the referee blew the whistle for a defensive foul on Mutombo, and Yang Jian got two free throw opportunities.
There is a huge difference in height and body shape between the two. When Mutombo gets stuck, he steps up his thighs and has a large defensive area. Yang Jian deliberately seeks physical contact, but Mutombo cannot avoid it. On the court, it is easier to be blown away if the big defender is small.
Foul, as long as the little man loses his center of gravity.
This is also Yang Jian's accumulated experience. Many stars will commit fouls like this in the future. The key is that this is Mutombo's fifth foul. He did not play for long today, and he will be sent off if he fouls again.
Wilkens did not choose to substitute. He wanted Mutombo to play until he was sent off for six fouls.
Yang Jian made two steady free throws, 112 to 94.
The fans chanted "mvp" together again, and the atmosphere at the scene was extremely enthusiastic.
