Dunleavy reused Jermaine O'Neal today and let him play for a longer time because O'Neal did a very good job of rebounding.
So far, O'Neal Jr. has played 29 minutes, made 5 of 9 shots, 4 of 6 free throws, and scored 14 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal.
O'Neal Jr. is more like a power forward than Rasheed Wallace, but he also made 4 turnovers. He was a little nervous when faced with a critical situation against the top-ranked team.
After Ben Wallace stole the ball, he looked for Payton. Payton passed the ball to Yang Jian. Yang Jian received the ball from the left and quickly went down. He decelerated from the three-point line and dribbled behind his back twice in a row before taking a step back with his left foot and shooting a three-pointer.
Walter Williams was shaken and took a small step back. He reached forward and couldn't block the shot, but the ball missed. The SuperSonics' offense was not over yet. Ben Wallace actively made a fast break and grabbed an offensive rebound.
ball.
In terms of speed, Ben Wallace is much faster than Sabonis. When he represented the Celtics in the summer league last season, the coach suggested that he be a swingman, which shows how terrifying his impact is.
If Yang Jian passes the ball to Big Ben, it will be an easy assist, and Big Ben can take advantage of the trend and dunk in three steps. But now Yang Jian has a clear goal of scoring high points, and occasionally scores alone.
Ben stayed close to Sabonis, who was returning to defense, feinted the ball in the direction of Yang Jian, moved his hands back and passed it to Payton, who was following up on the right.
Payton caught the ball and forced a layup to beat Stoudemire and score, 102 to 93.
Although Ben's offensive ability is poor, he works hard when he comes on the court. He plays a role in the team's training. He also has some ability to support the passing game and can see the movements of his teammates.
At this time, the SuperSonics management was happy to renew Daben's contract last summer. The two-year contract of 1.6 million was so worth it. Just with a few rebounds in the last quarter, Daben was worth 1 million in annual salary, which was more cost-effective than him.
Only Barkley.
Yang Jian applauded Ben a few times when he returned to defense. While pursuing high scores, the game must also be won. If he scores a super high score and loses the game, the meaning will be completely different. Many people will say that he is
Data brush.
The Trail Blazers attacked. Stoudemire hit a pick-and-roll and was double-teamed. The ball was passed to Sabonis outside the three-point line in the middle. Sabonis was open and tried to shoot a three-pointer again, but it still missed the basket. Booutero grabbed it.
Rebound in the backcourt.
Booutero immediately looked for Yang Jian, who quickly advanced to the frontcourt with the ball. Mason blocked Walter Williams from outside the three-point line. Yang Jian took the ball and changed direction to the right. Sabonis retreated too far.
It can only be O'Neal's side defense.
Yang Jian saw O'Neal Jr. out of the corner of his eye, and without pausing, he broke through from the right side of the center to the inside. He passed O'Neal Jr. with his speed, jumped high at 45 degrees on the right side, and faced Sabonis' defensive high.
Hit the board .104 to 93.
Yang Jian roared angrily, and the home audience cheered together again. The fans who came to watch the game were prepared to keep their ticket stubs as souvenirs. I believe it was very meaningful. They witnessed the miracle happening at close range.
Jordan scored 69 points in overtime, and Yang Jian scored 73 points, with more than half of the quarter left.
Coach Dunleavy finally requested a timeout. He had an ominous premonition that the Trail Blazers were likely to be nailed on the pillar of shame today. This is called his slow reaction. Normal people should panic at the end of the first half. At that time, Yang
Jane has scored 50 points.
Zhang Liji said: "Yang Jian is really going for 80 points. 73 points has already set a career high for his scoring in a single game."
Sun Zhengping said: "His shooting is too accurate. And it is difficult for opponents to use fouls to stop him. His free throws are more accurate and he is one of the most accurate players in the league."
Under normal circumstances, players can't help but send their opponents to the free throw line. Severe fouls can also produce some deterrent effects. It is not very effective against Yang Jian's fouls. Sending him to the free throw line is equivalent to giving away points.
Defenders dare not use malicious fouls against Yang Jian, who is the number one active player in the league.
What is the number one player in the league? Yang Jian involves the interests of several major companies and is directly related to NBA ratings. If any role player injures Yang Jian, what awaits him is not fame, but strong suppression from the league.
.
Don't even think about this person having fans. He will definitely be hated by the fans. If Yang Jian's condition declines after his comeback and his scoring ability decreases, I think the extreme fans will want to kill this person.
In the parallel world, Raja Bell who "choked" Kobe Bryant quickly disappeared. That action became a stain on Bell's life, and people had a bad opinion of Bell because of this action.
Who is willing to risk his or her entire career to commit a flagrant foul on Yang Jian? I don’t know if Yang Jian has anything wrong with him. The person who intentionally hurt him will definitely be paid a high salary, his future will be lost, and he will be a role player for the rest of his life.
After the timeout, people were surprised to find that Dunleavy replaced O'Neal and replaced him with Isiah Leder.
It's true to add an outside player, but Dunleavy also let Sabonis, who has a half-dead knee, continue to play on the court, replacing the mobile young man. And he doesn't plan to let O'Neal play again in the future. He wants Sabonis to play.
Fight to the end.
The reason why he did this was not a tactical need, it was simply that he was used to controlling the main force and was unwilling to change the main force.
There were no substitutions on the SuperSonics side. George Karl continued to emphasize offense and handed the ball to Yang Jian.
The game continued, Stoudemire had no chance to break through after playing the pick-and-roll, and passed the ball to Sabonis. Sabonis observed the movement of his teammates and passed the ball to the new Lederer.
At the end of the game, Yang Jian would not give up easily. He bypassed Rasheed Wallace's cover and pursued the defense very quickly. He jumped up and interfered with Leder's outside shot, and the ball bounced out of the frame.
Ben Wallace grabbed the rebound and passed it to Payton, and the Sonics fell into position. As soon as Yang Jian received the ball from half court, he immediately attracted two double-teams. The one who was left open was Bo Outero.
Yang Jian knew that Booutero had no shooting range, so he transferred the ball to Payton first.
Payton did not pass the ball to Bo Outero to hit the basket at the first time, but dribbled the ball and hit Stoudemire with his back. He was also very smart in doing this, and no one would double-team him. He leaned twice towards the baseline
Turned around and shot a jumper, avoiding the block but not making the shot.
Payton's touch wasn't very good today either, with a shooting percentage of less than 50%. If the Sonics players, except for Yang Jian, could easily hit the ball if they had the chance, the team would have been far ahead.
Before the Sonics' offense was over, Ben Wallace grabbed another offensive rebound and passed the ball to Schrempf on the outside.
O'Neal Jr. was the best big man in rebounding for the Trail Blazers today, and was replaced. The remaining two inside men couldn't grab rebounds at all. Sabonis only grabbed 2 rebounds today, and Rasheed Wallace
1, and it's an offensive rebound.
Schrempf stabilized himself and then passed the ball to Payton. Payton took the ball and protected it with his back, and passed it to Yang Jian, who ran from the baseline to the right side at 70 degrees with the help of Ben Wallace.
Of course, Sabonis will not rush out to help defend against double teams. Walter Williams was also led to the low post on the left by Bo Outero. He couldn't go. If he didn't pass just now, Schrempf would not be looking for Payton to pass the ball.
, Booutero's empty cut was left unattended.
After the ball was moved, the only person who could double-team Yang Jian was Stoudemire. He was 178cm tall and had almost no ability to block shots. Yang Jian knew he had a chance, so he took one step outside the three-point line to catch the ball and throw it away.
Leder chased out to block the shot but jumped too slowly, and the ball hit the net! 107 to 93.
Zhang Lijia shouted: "Beautiful! Yang Jian hit his 9th three-pointer of the game. He made more three-pointers than the entire Trail Blazers team and scored 76 points."
Sun Zhengping said: "The Blazers' defense still has the same problem. It's difficult for the players to double-team Yang Jian as soon as they open up. It's definitely not possible for Leder to chase and defend by himself. He can't catch up when he has plenty of energy at the beginning."
Zhang Liji said: "Yang Jian defeated the Trail Blazers by himself today. He combines both without and with the ball very well. Unless the last two players follow him without the ball and prevent him from catching the ball, the Trail Blazers are not so determined."
Chapter completed!
