Chapter 61 [A little head and more flowers]
Espn commentator Aaron Miles was conquered by Yang Jian's performance. "Yang scored 8 points in a row with 4 of 4 shots at the beginning, looking as brave as he was on the court. He was simply unstoppable and was the player with the most dunks in the league since the start of the game."
Jack Carter smiled and said, "If O'Neal played in the regular season, Young would definitely not be the player with the most dunks. O'Neal will be out of the game for a while due to injury. He was slapped by Matt Geiger, a white center of the Hornets, and the Magic are now leading the team independently."
Geiger was banned by the League Discipline Committee for one game and fined $10,000, which was marked as a "bad man". Many media called him "the only person on earth who can make O'Neal change his color."
In the parallel world, this is a malicious foul that changed the league structure. O'Neal missed 28 games due to injury, and was still honest in recuperating, filming movies, and publishing music albums. This caused dissatisfaction among the Magic Management and laid the foreshadowing for the Sharks in the summer of 1996.
Aaron said: "If you continue to play like this, Yang will not score less in this game. If you want to stop him from scoring, the Lakers inside players must assist in defense. He took the ball too quickly. It is difficult to interfere with just relying on Cebaros to bypass the cover and chase the defense. Cebaros has not scored yet, and today he is going to be taught a lesson by the rookie."
Jack sighed: "I think Yang Basheng will be the best rookie of the season. The suspense is whether he will be selected for the All-Star Game in the season. After watching his performance, those who like to dunk will definitely be willing to vote for him."
NBA live games are the most popular. In the 1990s, if the team had fewer live games, it would be difficult for the stars to become famous. Fans can only understand the stars through live TV, without the Internet and ubiquitous videos.
Fans cannot check the star's data. They will only remember the king of data and the most beautiful people who played in the national live broadcast. As for the players' hit rate and efficiency, not many fans care about them, and the media rarely mention them.
A player like Yang Jian is the easiest to be famous. He knows this very well and takes off with all his strength to play tricks when he dunks twice.
Payton cooperates with him very enthusiastically. If Payton does not have the ability to score in a variety of ways, he has to rely on exciting assists to appear. If Payton shoots, the five best balls will never be able to be with him.
Payton loved Yang Jian so much that he never used Yang Jian to run errands in the team and did not do anything to do anything to show off. He believed that the two were destined to make each other successful in the future, just like Malone and Stockton.
After entering the league, Payton has always envied Stockton's partner Malone as a killer weapon. He has a good personal relationship with Kemp, often plays beautiful cooperation, and has a much worse tacit understanding with other teammates. He is an emotional person and feels that his teammates' offensive ability is not as good as him, so he doesn't want to pass too many balls.
After Yang Jian joined, Payton saw the opportunity to compete for the assist king and didn't pass the ball to Schramf. Fortunately, Schramf had a low-key temper. If he encountered such a thing when changing a star, there would definitely be conflicts in the locker room.
There is also a brilliant person on the bench of Supersonics today, that is Eric Snow.
The cameraman gave Snow two close-ups. After Yang Jian performed a wonderful dunk, Snow had a towel hanging around her neck, dancing and ecstatic on the sidelines.
His little eyes blinked and raised his eyebrows twice. He could already introduce himself like this - "A good man is me, I am Eric."
Snow was a little embarrassed at the beginning and quickly let go. He found that doing so could really liven up the atmosphere. Everyone did not feel that it was inconsistent, and the newly joined players relaxed their mentality.
After the suspension, neither side made any substitutions.
Del Harris called the timeout to adjust the tactics. The defensive end allows inside players to stand on the outside and interfere with the shooting. When attacking, inside players must resolutely play at the basket, increase the number of empty cuts, and give full play to their height advantages.
The old coach has seen that the Lakers' outside players have no advantage in single-handed fights. They should reduce their attacks on the outside and try to attack the penalty area.
The Lakers played a tactic as an arrangement. Van Eksel played pick-and-roll in the middle and attracted the defensive pass to Campbell. The latter rushed to the basket to attract double-teams to pass the ball. Divac hit a mid-range shot from the right. 10-4.
Supersonic attack, Yang Jian received the ball from running and encountered interference from Divac in one step inside the three-point line. The big man was more defenseless and he couldn't take action easily.
Yang Jian can break through with the ball, but he didn't do that. During the team's training, he practiced various routines. If he breaks through the inside, only Schramph will pass the ball and the formation is not very open.
If you want the team's overall offense to be smooth, Yang Jian's best moves in mid- and long distances, give the inside space to Camp and leave the breakthrough work to Payton.
He took one step and passed it to Payton. Payton did not stick the ball and hit the left side. Schramf drove two steps back and turned to the bottom line and jumped out, which was interfered by George Lynch.
Lynch is not simple, but he is an excellent role player with ordinary offense. After joining the 76ers in the parallel world, he can occupy the main forward position under the defensive coach Larry Brown for a long time, which shows his defensive ability.
The Lakers attacked, Van Eksel played the pick-and-roll and passed the ball to Divac. Divac beat Camp alone, dribbled the ball slowly with his back, and turned around and hit the hook when he liked. 10 to 6.
His moves looked a bit forced, but his touch was very soft, which was the characteristic of many European insiders. He did not have any celebration moves when he returned to defense and was very low-key.
Few inside players provoke Kamp. Kamp is crazy and no one wants to be blocked. Those who can provoke Kamp and suppress him are not ordinary people, big-name stars and Mutombo, who just debuted.
Kemp immediately returned one. He first provided an unball cover for Yang Jian on the right. Yang Jian got the ball and then took a step to the middle to attract Divac to assist in defense, and passed the ball to Kemp.
Camp rushed to the right and then hit the slam dunk again, Campbell did not dare to stand at the basket. 12 to 6.
When returning to defense, Kamp and Yang Jian clapped their hands.
With such an inside teammate, Yang Jian can also get a lot of assists, so it is absolutely right to find Kamp to pass. Everyone plays very well, and the offense is too smooth and it feels impossible to lose.
Jack sighed: "The Supersonics are so crazy this season. Except for Yang's mid-range shot, all the goals were dunks."
Aaron smiled and said, "If the Lakers are the main defender Yang to catch the ball, it is not a good idea to come out and block Kemp and easily catch the ball."
Carter said: "Harris must be clear about this, but he must make a choice. The Jazz defended Camp with Payton on the court, but Yang Kuang scored 40 points. This rookie is too strong and can kill someone. This is something Kendal Jill couldn't do last season."
Aaron said: "Before the season starts, the media said that the Supersonics No. 2 is the weakest in the league. I think after this game, more media will report on Yang Jian's incident, and he will become popular."
When the Lakers attacked, Cebaros was a little embarrassed when he was defended.
Every time he catches the ball, Yang Jian can quickly stick it up, and he has no chance to get out of his phone easily. He can't squeeze it away by relying on his body, and forcing his move will be seriously disturbed, so he has to pass the ball again.
Cebaros found that Yang Jian and Payton were the same defense. He had much worse experience, but his physical fitness was better than Payton. He could make up for his shortcomings, so his opponent could not use skills and could only fight hand in hand.
After passing it a few times, the 24 seconds were about to end, Lynch took the blame and forced a mid-range shot, and PJ Brown grabbed the backcourt rebound.
Payton tried to launch a fast break but failed, and the landing position was passed to Schramf first. Schramf knew that he had difficulty in fighting Lynch, so he calmed down and returned to Payton.
This time, Yang Jian ran from the bottom corner to 70 degrees outside the right three-point line, and received the ball from Payton to the middle. This position was too far, Campbell hesitated to assist in defense and did not defend. Yang Jian received the ball one meter outside the three-point line and threw it.
Cebaros didn't jump when he walked away from the cover and came out, but just stretched out his hand. He felt that the distance was too far. The ball was a little tilted and popped up in the box.
But this attack was not over yet, and PJ Brown grabbed the frontcourt rebound. As soon as Yang Jian received the ball at that position, his teammates knew that he was going to throw it away and the position was very active. Moreover, the Supersonics' control over rebounding has been greatly improved this season.
After winning the rebound, PJ Brown passed the outside line to Payton. Payton pretended to look for Yang Jian and took a three-pointer against Van Ekselgan.
After the three-point line was shortened, George Carl asked Payton to practice three-pointers all day and encouraged him to shoot more. This time he was not disturbed on the left, his arc was not high but very positive, and he made an effort! 15 to 6.
Harris almost couldn't help but want to call a timeout again. He couldn't stand the Lakers like this, and his opponent was blooming more.
Chapter completed!
