When Yang Jian pulled the lever for a layup, Jaylen Rose really wanted to reach out and catch him from below.

But Rose only dares to think, not to do. If he does this, his entire career will be over, and he will become a street rat that everyone shouts to beat. Rose does not know whether Yang Jian will be seriously injured and miss the next game, but there are many

People will want to kill him.

It wasn't just Rose who was thinking wildly, Reggie Miller was under even greater pressure than him, and he had a premonition that he would be ridiculed wildly by the media and fans after the game.

The mentality of the Pacers' role players has collapsed. They want to surrender and leave Seattle. They don't even play in G2. They know they can't win without playing. No one wants to be the backdrop for the NBA Finals.

Coach Larry Bird replaced Schmitz again. Unless Yang Jian came off the court to rest, he would not send a high forward to the court again. The Pacers were forced to compete with the SuperSonics in a small lineup, and Bird would not play in the next game.

Plan to reuse Schmitz.

Schmitz was so stimulated that he planned to announce his retirement immediately after the end of this season and could no longer hold on.

He was the second overall pick in 1988 and has been playing for the Pacers and does not want to join other teams. Now he suspects that he cannot bring any help to the Pacers and only has side effects.

There were many insider stars in the NBA in the 1990s. Schmitz often fought with super centers. If he was not careful, he would become the background of posters and top five goals. Even in such an environment, Schmitz was not afraid of his opponents at all.

He has repeatedly helped the team win with his height and shooting skills, and insiders such as Olajuwon and Ewing have praised him.

As a result, Schmitz lost his guarantee in the late game and became one of the "overrated big men" in the words of fans. People often say that the SuperSonics' big man lineup is weak, but Schmitz was at a disadvantage against the Sonics. Of course, people will feel that he is being overrated.

Overestimated.

Larry Bird encouraged substitute power forward Crohill to take more shots, thinking that Rashard Lewis is an easier person to deal with.

This adjustment did have an effect. In the next round, Crohill hit Lewis with his back and turned around and went to the basket. His back was against the opponent's strong rebound and the score was 85 to 42.

Yang Jian ran without the ball and got the ball on the right side. This time Dale Davis switched defenses and double-teamed Yang Jian with Reggie Miller, leaving Mason on the left baseline.

Yang Jian quickly dribbled the ball laterally to open up space and passed it to Payton who ran to the corner of the penalty area on the left. He formed a triangle with Payton in the middle and Lewis at 70 degrees on the right, so he knew where his teammates would respond.

Payton received the ball without pausing, jumped up and transferred the ball from Mark Jackson's head to the basket. Mason dunked the ball with two hands in an alley-oop. Two-handed dunks were his way of performing. There was no trick. 87 to 42.

Sun Zhengping said: "This goal is not counted as an assist from Yang Jian, but the key moment when he attracted a double team and quickly moved. The SuperSonics offense is too strong, and they scored more than 100 points in the third quarter today."

Zhang Liji said with a smile: "In the Eastern Conference finals between the Pacers and the Knicks, neither team scored more than 100 points in the entire game. So fans all over the world support the SuperSonics to win the championship and will not support the Pacers."

The Pacers attacked, and Reggie Miller ran to catch the ball outside the three-point line on the right side. Under the interference of Payton, Miller hit the ball again. It was impossible for Miller to find the crosshair today, and he helped Yang Jian rebound the ball like a god possessed.

After Mason came on the court, he was mainly stuck, because he was disadvantaged by his size, and it was difficult for him to take off at the same time as the big man to grab rebounds. It was much easier for him to just be stuck, and his footing was particularly stable.

The SuperSonics often practice like this during training. When someone is stuck in the paint, the defender immediately launches a counterattack with the rebound. Payton has also practiced it, but his jumping, strength, and judgment of rebound placement cannot compare with Yang Jian.

Yang Jian grabbed the backcourt rebound on the right side and quickly pushed it into the three-point line. He dribbled the ball from the hip of his right hand to his left hand and paused slightly as if to change direction to the center.

Jaylen Rose lowered his center of gravity and formed a double-team with Mark Jackson in the right corner of the penalty area. However, Yang Jian did not break out of the middle. He took the ball with his left hand and took a long stride and turned 45 degrees to the right. After turning 180 degrees, he followed up with his right hand to catch the ball.

Facing the jump shot.

Rose was shaken away, Mark Jackson jumped up and the interference was ineffective, Yang Jian's iron-blooded jumper hit the net! 89 to 42.

After scoring the goal, Yang Jian shouted another celebration and added a buff to his mid-range shot.

Zhang Lijia sighed: "Yang Jian scored his 44th point and made all 16 shots. Today he has set a record for the most shots in NBA history."

Sun Zhengping said: "The prerequisite for breaking the record is that he cannot miss the next shot and must keep it until the end. He has had the opportunity to set such a record before, but he doesn't seem to care much."

Today, Yang Jian is concerned about his shooting percentage. At this point, it would be a pity if he misses the ball. Reggie Miller happens to be very tough. If he hits all the shots, it will be a sharp contrast.

When the stars in the Finals are compared, the news becomes hot and will be remembered by fans. Just like Kobe Bryant scored 81 points against Jalen Rose, some people will remember it decades later.

There is no grudge between Yang Jian and Reggie Miller, but they both happen to play shooting guards and are enemies of Jordan. They are often compared by the media. Moreover, the Pacers' head coach is Larry Bird, which makes it even more interesting.

, Yang Jian can defeat two stars in one series.

Yang Jian's three consecutive MVPs and three championships are tied with Larry Bird's, and he already has one more FMVP than Bird. Considering that Larry Bird has been selected to the All-Star 12 times in his career, the media has not yet ranked Yang Jian's historical status higher than his.

in front of.

As long as Yang Jian wins the championship this season, he will officially surpass Larry Bird and rank in the top five or even the top three in history. In the history of the NBA, there are only a few players who have won 4 championships as a core player.

Champion 2 mvp, 4 fmvp.

At present, only Bill Russell, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Magic Johnson have done it. Jordan did not do it, and was deprived of three championships, 2 MVPs, and 3 FMVPs by Yang Jianbutter. His historical status has been greatly reduced. In the future, Duncan

, it is also difficult for James to do that, as his career overlaps with Yang Jian for a long time.

At this time, the Pacers, which had almost used up 24 seconds, completed their attack. Mark Jackson hit a three-point jumper from the middle. 89 to 45.

Yang Jian wanted to grab more rebounds, so he shrank closer to the penalty area and ignored Jackson.

When the SuperSonics attacked, his teammates were all separated again. Yang Jian picked up the ball two meters outside the three-point line. He took the ball to the three-point line, dribbled the ball from his crotch to his left hand, quickly changed direction to the right and passed by in one step.

By Reggie Miller.

Jaylen Rose, who wanted to double-team on the left, was blocked by his teammate Miller, and was left alone. Mark Jackson on the right and Crohill on the bottom line were also a little slow in covering up defense. Yang Jian was too fast, and after starting

He instantly reached the basket, jumped up and pulled the ball slightly to score! 91 to 45.

The Pacers attacked, and Crohill singled out Lewis, causing a thug foul, and made two free throws. 91 to 46.

Zhang Lijia said: "The team is lagging behind by a big score, and the mentality of the Pacers players has been affected, and the free throws are all inaccurate. Yang Jian has already scored 46 points, and is not far from a 50-point triple-double."

Sun Zhengping said: "If he continues to play in the final quarter, I think he can score 60 triple-doubles in the finals."

SuperSonics offense, Yang Jian once again caught the ball as soon as he passed the half court, and Jaylen Rose immediately came up to double-team.

Yang Jian took advantage of the situation and passed the ball to the left side. Mobley received the ball and hit a three-pointer in a 60-degree open jump shot! 94 to 46.

This was Yang Jian's 13th assist. The SuperSonics led by more than 40 points. His teammates took the shot without any pressure and were equally accurate.

Reggie Miller ran to catch the ball without the ball. After a feint, he forced a breakthrough against Payton. He took the ball to the left baseline and took a step outside the penalty area to make a jump shot. Payton accurately predicted the jump and closed his eyes, and the ball popped up again.

This time it was Mason who grabbed the backcourt rebound, and Yang Jian almost made it.

Mason turned around and saw no one was interfering, so he passed the ball directly to the frontcourt. In the middle, Yang Jian jumped up to catch the ball in the Pacers' penalty area. After falling, he immediately dropped the ball with his back to protect him, pushed Mark Jackson, and then turned to the right.

.

Jackson knew he couldn't guard Yang Jian when he jumped up, so he made a foul with both hands and knocked away the basketball.

Amid the "mvp" chants from all the fans, Yang Jian made two free throws. 96 to 46.
