Chapter 635 [A little regret, enjoy the game]
The SuperSonics press conference was held later, and reporters asked Yang Jian to talk about his thoughts on playing a super triple-double in the finals.
Yang Jian said: "I am very happy, but not surprised by this. Because I know that if I want to, I can average a triple-double in the regular season. I just don't usually focus on grabbing rebounds.
.”
The reporter asked: "What made you want to grab a rebound today?"
"Today we played a small ball tactic, and the team needs me to grab rebounds, especially backcourt rebounds. If there are two big men on the team who are good at grabbing rebounds, I won't often shrink near the penalty area."
No matter how explosive the statistics are, Yang Jian never forgets to emphasize that he is a team player.
The reporter asked: "If you played the whole game today, you might win 602020. Will you regret it?"
"I will be a little regretful, because I know that as long as I continue to play in the final quarter, I will definitely be able to hit 602020 data. It won't work this time. I will wait until I have the opportunity to talk about it in the future."
The reporter asked: "Do you think there will be another opportunity like this in the future?"
"Of course, the difficulty for me to score 80 points in a single game twice is not lower than this. And I have also scored 7010 data. Considering my height, it is indeed more difficult to grab a lot of rebounds than to score and assists, so I will not deliberately
The pursuit of triple-double data. I think winning is always more important than data."
The reporter asked Yang Jian to evaluate the Pacers' two outside stars, if they can still be called stars.
Yang Jian smiled and said: "Actually, their strength is not bad. The Pacers have been among the best in the Eastern Conference in recent years. But our overall strength is stronger, not just me, but my teammates are also very strong. They have excellent defensive capabilities.
You can cooperate with me in a tacit understanding."
The reporter asked: "In 1998, you led the team to a complete victory in the playoffs and won the championship. Do you think you can achieve a complete victory this year?"
"I don't know, maybe the Pacers players collectively broke out later. No matter what, I will enjoy the game." Yang Jian rarely said a low-key word.
He didn't know what the league officials were thinking. Maybe they didn't want a sweep in the finals and would let the referees call the SuperSonics a few games. The Pacers might be lucky enough to win a game at home.
Without the whistle, the Pacers would never be able to defeat the Sonics. Their defensive weaknesses are too obvious. There is not a single defensive expert on the team, neither a strong wing defender nor an excellent inside lineman who is good at guarding pick-and-rolls.
After inside player Antonio Davis joined the Raptors, the Pacers' ability to rebound has also declined compared to last season. If Dale Davis comes off the court to rest, the Pacers will suffer in terms of rebounding.
A Chinese reporter asked: "Are you confident that you will win the Olympic gold medal on behalf of the Chinese team at this year's Olympic Games?"
Yang Jian simply shook his head. "No, I tried my best to win the bronze medal in the last Olympic Games. The Chinese team's lineup has flaws, and I think it is more reasonable to set the goal to win a medal."
Unless Yang Jian cheats every game, and the teammates of the Chinese men's basketball team don't hold back on the defensive end, they won't be able to win. Wang Zhizhi's weakness in the NBA this season is obvious, he is too soft. He plays center and has poor defense, and plays power forward.
It's not easy to pick and roll, and the Chinese team must have him and Yao Ming form the starting lineup in the twin towers.
Not to mention other teams, the US team sent another group of NBA All-Stars to this year's Olympic Games. Unless the US team's lineup has obvious weaknesses, the Chinese team will not be able to win. The players' physical fitness will not be able to withstand it, and their talent will be overwhelmed.
No matter how powerful Yang Jian is, he can't guard against a group of attackers from the US team. This was the case in 1996. When the opponent attacked, they didn't just attack him alone, but just bypassed him and attacked from the other side. If they couldn't make a shot, they would rush to the frontcourt.
rebound.
When it's time to keep a low profile, Yang Jian will definitely keep a low profile. If he first spoke big words to raise the fans' expectations, and then lost, the meaning would be different. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Mobley and Lewis attended the press conference and expressed a lot of thoughts. They both thanked Yang Jian and said they would work hard to play well in the next game and give their best.
They were all competing for the first time and were very excited after winning. They all performed very well today.
The first championship experience is always the best, and newcomers have never won the final victory. Yang Jian, Schrempf, and Payton have completed three consecutive championships, and they have become accustomed to it.
If the team wants to win championships frequently, it must make a major overhaul of the lineup in exchange for young players with a stronger desire to win and more hard work. The Pacers also suffer from this aspect compared with the SuperSonics. They have too many veterans and cannot compete.
.
That night, all the news was about the Sonics and Yang Jian. Yang Jian's 501515 triple-double in the finals was the first in history and set a magical record.
Some experts believe that in the future, Chamberlain and Jordan's scoring records are likely to be broken by Yang Jian. If he does not retire early to make movies, it is highly likely that his total points will surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. He wants to surpass his total assists.
On the contrary, Stockton is more difficult. Stockton focuses on assists.
While many fans were discussing Yang Jian, they also pulled out the Spurs to beat him up.
"Spurs fans come out to see what a real championship team looks like, and see what games a dominant team plays! Then look at the Spurs' championship last year, are they even remotely dominant?"
"The Real League gave the Spurs a championship in vain. It's a pity that the Spurs were eliminated in the first round this year. If they meet the Sonics in the playoffs, they will definitely be beaten without the help of referees."
"The SuperSonics' lineup is actually not very deep. If Yang Jian is replaced by other stars with similar salaries to lead the Sonics, such as Mourning and Garnett, they will definitely not be able to win the championship. In other words, O'Neal can compete for the championship.
.”
"Yang Jian's team leadership ability ranks first in history and he has his own system."
In addition to sports news, Yang Jian has also appeared in entertainment news. He is playing in the finals in Seattle and can still influence some decisions of Huaer Pictures.
Flower Pictures announced that "Chicago" has changed its male lead, with Richard Gere out and replaced by Alec Baldwin.
The reason is that during an exclusive interview with a Chinese correspondent, Yang Jian heard that Richard Gere had made anti-China remarks at the 1993 Oscars.
At that time, this guy was talking nonsense as if he was mentally retarded. The producer of the party, Gil Cates, was furious and publicly called it "disgusting and fraudulent." As soon as Yang Jian heard the news, he called and changed the person that day, and it was smooth and smooth. He didn't
Is it just an American CITIC? It is not irreplaceable.
The audition had just ended and the contract had not yet been officially signed. It was just a one-sentence matter, and no liquidated damages were required. Yang Jian did not give any explanation to the actor, and just asked Baldwin, who had also participated in the audition, to substitute for the lead role.
The media feels that Yang Jian has already had great influence in the entertainment industry, and he is also a superstar in Hollywood.
On June 9, the second battle between the two sides began.
Larry Bird adjusted the lineup and did not start high center Rick Schmitz, giving Crohill more opportunities to perform. However, the Sonics took the initiative in the opening game and they were still able to pull the big man out of the penalty area.
, it is slightly more difficult for Yang Jian to beat other big men in the pick-and-roll than to beat Schmitz.
Without Schmitz, the Pacers' pick-and-roll offense has been affected, and scoring mainly relies on singles. The two inside players do not have high-post support capabilities, and Reggie Miller has poor organizational skills. He is a scorer who mainly attacks without the ball, and the ball moves as a whole.
Too bad.
The SuperSonics always have three organizational points on the field to keep the ball moving quickly. Regardless of whether Yang Jian plays with or without the ball, he can show his strength. He can pass the ball, and his teammates can pass the ball to him.
How to make stars catch the ball comfortably is a science. Only teams that can do it well can win the championship. In a parallel world, the key to the Lakers completing three consecutive championships is actually Jackson Jackson making O'Neal and Kobe Bryant feel comfortable catching the ball. In other aspects, it is the same as the past Lakers.
Not much has changed.
Larry Bird also followed this path with the Pacers, but it's not enough to only have one Mark Jackson who is good at passing.
The SuperSonics led by 18 points in the third quarter and were firmly in control of the situation.
Chapter completed!
