Anthony Mason Jr. grabbed the backcourt rebound. Seeing that there was no chance for a fast break, he held the ball with both hands and waited for Payton to respond.

In the SuperSonics position battle, the players were all separated again. Yang Jian moved without the ball and received the pass on the right baseline. This time, Leder pursued the defense faster, and Yang Jian turned around and made a "big loop"

, hit Leder's arm and pushed the ball out, and the referee's whistle sounded.

This move is really hard to guard against. Unless the defender puts his arms behind his back, he will be hit accidentally.

Yang Jian doesn't think it's shameful to do this. He won't regard this technique as his regular skill. He can occasionally use it to disrupt the defender's mentality and make his opponent uncomfortable.

If the opponent lacks a swingman suitable to defend Yang Jian, and he makes the main defender foul once in the first quarter, the main defender will be very passive in the next quarter. Because he will be afraid that he will get a second foul soon and be forced to take a rest, that is,

Don't dare to stick it too tightly.

Yang Jian can guess what will happen next. Leder will attack with the ball in the next round because he does not want to lose too much in terms of data. If Yang Jian defends seriously and interferes well, Leder will hit a wave of iron and it will be enough for the Trail Blazers.

Acceptable.

Yang Jian made two free throws, 13-6.

Sure enough, Leder immediately wanted to score a goal in return. Yang Jian scored 11 points in the opening game, but he didn't score a single point.

Almost everyone thinks Leder is a cancer, but he has always regarded himself as a star.

When the Trail Blazers attacked, Leder received the ball from the right three-point line, dribbled laterally and started a pick-and-roll with Sabonis. He broke through the middle with the ball and forced a layup under Mason's switch, but was blocked by Mason's slap.

From this choice, it can be seen that Leder's golf IQ is not high, and he has not considered the consequences of missing shots at all. Moreover, Leder, who is 196cm tall and weighs 98 kilograms, has strength. How can it be possible to compare strength with Mason?

eat?

Mason was still able to jump up during the confrontation, but he didn't think Ryder was strong.

Ryder saw that he was blocked and wanted to get a foul. When he landed, he deliberately tilted his body and sat on the ground, signaling the referee to strike. The referee saw clearly and ignored him.

Schrempf picked up the basketball and passed it to the frontcourt with one hand. Yang Jian went down the middle of the fast break and shook off Sabonis to catch the ball. He took one step to pull the ball, took two big steps, stepped on the free throw line and jumped high.

Gliding for a long distance, he dunked the basketball with his right hand and scored! 15 to 6.

Trail Blazers coach Dunleavy asked for a timeout. He couldn't believe what he saw on the sidelines. He also won the dunk title, but there was a clear gap between Leder's physical fitness and Yang Jianbi's.

Sun Zhengping shouted: "Yang Jian actually performed a free throw line windmill dunk in actual combat. This ball was also 50 points in the dunk contest. No one except him could complete it."

Zhang Lili sighed: "This is Yang Jian's performance moment. The Blazers' big men were too slow to defend. Stoudemire didn't dare to come up to defend him, so he came up and dunked him."

Yang Jian scored 13 points and had no assists.

Today he focused on scoring. He opened the ball first, and then assisted his teammates after the opponent adjusted their defense against him. If the opponent never double-teamed him, he could keep taking shots.

Dunleavy replaced Jermaine O'Neal after a timeout and replaced him with swingman Walter Williams, who is 203cm tall and weighs 99kg.

Sabonis, the slowest high center forward, continues to play. From this alone, we can see how rigid Dunleavy is in his employment. His offensive system requires Sabonis's shooting and support capabilities. If Sabonis rests, the team will be weak on both offense and defense.

Affected, the fight cannot be smooth.

In a parallel world, Dunleavy won the Best Coach Award in the 1998-99 season. But he is a seriously overrated head coach, as shown by his coaching record.

His career winning rate is only 46.1%, and he led the team to average 97.2 points per game. Almost all the seasons in which his career winning rate exceeded 50% were coached by the Trail Blazers. In order to win the championship, the Trail Blazers had a very high total salary and only made the All-Star lineup.

Won two Western Conference finals.

The Sonics did not make any substitutions. Coach George Karl only emphasized that the players should spread out and help Yang Jian catch the ball and create singles opportunities.

When the Trail Blazers attacked, Stoudemire and Rasheed Wallace played a pick-and-roll, breaking through from the left to attract Barkley to change defense and pass the ball to Rasheed in the center. Rasheed relied on his height advantage to lob the ball and cut to the air.

Sabonis went to the center to ask for the ball.

Sabonis turned to the right baseline with his back to Mason and hit a hook shot. 15 to 8.

A 221cm high center singles out a 201cm player. No matter how strong Mason is, it will be difficult to block Sabonis' shot. Sabonis has a very soft touch, and he has a great advantage on the offensive end.

Payton made a mistake next. When he dribbled the ball past half-court, Stoudemire suddenly stepped forward to press and successfully stole the ball. He went on a fast break and scored a layup. 15 to 10.

When the SuperSonics attacked, Payton passed the ball to Yang Jian as soon as the half was over. Yang Jian played a pick-and-roll with Mason from outside the three-point line. This move was difficult for the Blazers to defend, as the players were spread apart.

Yang Jian walked in the middle and attracted Rasheed Wallace to help him defend. He dribbled with his left hand and took a step towards Rasheed with his right hand. When he was about to hit him, he pulled the ball with his right hand, took a long stride, turned around and passed 50 degrees to the left, leaning back.

Jump shot.

He was fast and had a large backward angle, and the arc of the ball was high. Neither Rasheed nor Walter Williams, who was assisting on defense, could block it.

Whoa! The ball hit the net! Yang Jian hit another big jumper. 17 to 8.

After scoring the goal, he roared angrily and added a buff to himself.

Sun Zhengping said: "Yang Jian's dribbling skills are so smooth, his movements are combined quickly and well, and his shooting is accurate."

Zhang Lijia said: "He said he would be an offensive kaleidoscope in the future, which is too modest. He is an offensive kaleidoscope now and can put the ball into the basket in various ways."

Sun Zhengping said: "He scored 15 points before the halfway point of the single quarter. Today he probably scored 30 points in a single quarter."

The Trail Blazers attacked, the players passed the ball several times, and Sabonis provided an off-ball screen for Leder to help him get rid of Yang Jian.

Leder received a pass from Walter Williams and made a mid-range shot from the right corner of the penalty area. 17 to 10.

Yang Jian was a little slow in pursuit and did not jump. He only stretched out his hand to slightly interfere, but it was ineffective.

During the SuperSonics attack, Yang Jian ran back from the left baseline. Under the cover of Mason, he went to the left three-point line and received the pass at 70 degrees. He took the ball without feinting, turned around and made immediate moves to face Leder who was chasing him.

, change direction to the middle.

Because his movements were so fast, Walter Williams, who was on the right side of the center, had no time to double-team him. Leder quickly stopped to follow from the side, but Yang Jian had already started to speed up, and Leder was unable to follow after a moment's delay.

Yang Jian got to the basket and was not afraid of Sabonis' defense and pick-up basket to score. He jumped high and bounced fast, but Sabonis was unable to block him due to his height. 19 to 10.

Zhang Lijia shouted: "Good guy, another one, 17 points. He only missed one shot in the opening game."

Sun Zhengping said: "Yang Jian is too fast. He changes direction and drives to the basket instantly, forcing a double-team. He said that he is faster than Iverson, and his impact is indeed better."

The two also commented on the SuperSonics vs. 76ers game. Yang Jian looked much better than Iverson.

When the Trail Blazers attacked, Yang Jian let Leder two steps away, pretending that he was blocked by a screen and failing to catch up. Leder hit a three-pointer with a 70-degree open jumper on the right side. 19 to 13.

During the SuperSonics offense, Payton's intention of passing the ball to Yang Jian was too obvious, and he made another mistake. He found that Yang Jian did not get rid of the defense, the ball did not pass out, and when he collected the ball with both hands, it was cut off by Stoudemire.

Stoudemire dribbled to the three-point line and passed the ball to Rashid who was about to leave. The latter cut through the middle and faced Barkley's defense and forced a layup. 19 to 15.

The Sonics players didn't panic at all, and the team boss wouldn't blame them if they made a mistake.

Payton first passed the ball to Schrempf in the middle for support, and then ran to the left to open up. Schrempf waited for Yang Jian to cross the baseline, passed the ball to the right corner, and stood outside the three-point line in the middle to attract the defense.

Yang Jian did not give his opponent a chance to double-team, knowing that Sabonis could not catch up, so he feinted to the left after receiving the ball from the baseline and entered the three-point line.

Leder hurriedly moved sideways, Yang Jian dribbled the ball behind his left hand to his right hand and stepped back with his right foot. He took a two-point shot from the baseline. His movements were coherent and the shot was very fast. Leder jumped too slowly and could not block the shot. Sabonis was far away.

come out.

An iron-blooded jump shot hit the net! 21 to 15.
Chapter completed!
