As soon as the news comes out, countless fans will naturally remember Tim Donaghy. Yang Jian doesn't need to say anything more, some news will record these things.
He's not angry, he just wants to have fun. Otherwise? Grab Donaghy at night, break his jaw, strip him naked and hang him upside down outside the door of the Trail Blazers' home arena, and leave a bat scar on his body?!
That's too much. He is a Kryptonian basking in the sun, and it is impossible for him to do such dark things.
Losing a game in the playoffs is really not a big deal. Every player has encountered black whistles and he has long been used to it. It is so normal for professional players to encounter black whistles. It would be strange for anyone who has not encountered them. As a ball king, I have never experienced 5
It would be a pity to score 8.
In a parallel world, even Emperor James encountered three black whistles, one of which was in the playoffs.
In the 2013 playoffs, he was knocked down by Hibbert against the Pacers and was called for a collision with the ball. He explained to the referee to no avail.
In the regular season game against the Heat in 2017, he was beaten and the referee did not call the call. He yelled at the referee and was ejected.
The most egregious thing was the Christmas Day game in 2017. James led the Cavaliers and the Warriors to meet on a narrow road. Three controversial fouls pushed the referee to the forefront. After the game, the referee finally bowed his head and admitted his mistake and apologized to James.
But this is not enough at all. The referee should kneel down. This is three controversial fouls. Santa Claus wants to hit him after seeing it.
As for not being able to win a single season in the playoffs, Yang Jian doesn't care. He has achieved that kind of record before, but he can no longer set a higher record.
Moreover, the Sonics are aiming for four consecutive championships this year. It would be a damned thing if the league didn't provide any resistance. However, as things have developed to this point, the league is no longer able to prevent the Sonics from winning the championship.
Yang Jian's luck was extremely good this year, and she simply won.
The Lakers' OK group has been in internal strife all season. The Mavericks injured Nowitzki, and two important opponents were eliminated directly.
The Kings, who finished third in the regular season, also have big problems, otherwise they would not have been eliminated by the Trail Blazers.
First of all, Chris Webber and Stojakovic are beginning to compete for the top spot. Weber is a star who relies on high shots in exchange for statistics. His scoring efficiency is not as good as Stojakovic's, and his strength is not enough to convince the opponent.
Secondly, the Kings injured backup forward Hedo Turkoglu, and Doug Christie was inexplicably sluggish.
In the first round of the series, Christie averaged 22.4 minutes per game, with 2.8 points, 4 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 1.4 steals, and a shooting percentage of 24%. He seemed to be possessed by something unclean, and his offense was so bad that he was even average.
No substitute is as good.
Originally, the Kings also had Jim Jackson, one of the bench gangsters. Now Jackson despises the Kings and has gone to the SuperSonics to join him.
The most amazing thing is that Gerald-Wallace seems to have killed Adelman's family. In this situation of shortage of major generals, Adelman would rather let an unknown marginal player with no athletic ability play instead of Gerald.
To put it bluntly, the SuperSonics did not face a decent opponent in this playoffs.
Even if there was a bias whistle, the Trail Blazers could not pose a substantial threat to the Sonics. And because the last game caused some controversy, the referee did not dare to go too far.
The Trail Blazers are a notorious team, known as the "Portland Prison Team." All scandals in the history of the league can find a representative figure among the Trail Blazers players.
Rasheed Wallace is the king of technical fouls and is good at yelling at referees; Bonzi Wells said in an interview that the fans are not important to them, whether they have them or not; Quintel Woods was arrested for abusing small animals and possessing marijuana;
Randolph got into a fight with his teammates during training; Patterson was arrested for abusing his wife and accused of raping his nanny; Stoudemire was speeding after smoking marijuana and carrying drugs...
This is a bunch of scum. Of course the fans will be dissatisfied. Is it possible that in order to prevent the SuperSonics from winning four consecutive championships, the league wants a team like the Trail Blazers to be blackmailed to the end?
G4 Rashard Lewis and Brad Miller have both recovered their form, and their shooting percentages are very high, giving Yang Jian enough support.
The SuperSonics attacked Randolph and Stoudemire with great success. They steadily controlled the situation and finally won 116-102 on the road, gaining match point 3-1.
Returning to the home court, the SuperSonics did not give the Trail Blazers another chance and won cleanly, 123-94.
4 to 1, Supersonic Speed ​​advanced to the finals first.
Yang Jian took more shots in G5, and the Sonics also changed their tactics. Yang Jian did not directly attack with the ball, but ran without the ball to look for opportunities.
Miller will provide Payton in the middle, Billups will cover for them to break through mismatches, and he will be on the outside waiting for opportunities to catch and shoot.
Yang Jian ran to the weak side to catch the ball and played in singles without any solution, and his big jumper hit the opponent. If the Blazers wanted to double-team him, they would have to leave someone open.
The Trail Blazers did not arrange a double attack without the ball. When Billups and Yang Jian were on the weak side, the Trail Blazers could only send inside players to double attack, leaving Miller, point guard Stoudemire and substitute Jeff Mai.
Jinnis' double attack was of little use and could not block Yang Jian's jump shot.
Yang Jian played 41 minutes, making 20 of 29 shots, 4 of 9 three-pointers, 7 of 8 free throws, scoring 51 points, 6 rebounds, 12 assists and 3 steals.
Others in the Sonics can also score. Miller made 9 of 14 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 22 points, 8 rebounds, and 3 assists. Billups made 6 of 12 shots and 4 of 8 three-pointers.
, made 4 of 4 free throws and scored 20 points and 8 assists.
The Trail Blazers' defense was broken and their offense was mediocre. In the garbage time of the final quarter, coach Cheeks sent veteran Sabonis on the court to complete his final retirement performance, scoring 4 points.
The Trail Blazers have several players with big contracts whose performance is so poor that the management collapsed. Sabonis averaged only 6.1 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game this season.
Damon Stoudemire averaged 6.9 points and 3.5 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 37.6%. Such a person has an annual salary of 12.38 million this season, which is not much less than Yang Jian. Can you believe it?
The Flying Squirrels couldn't even beat Billups, who had a mid-level contract with the SuperSonics, and were abused every time. As long as he scores in double figures, it will be a blessing to the Trail Blazers. More than 20 points is a super level performance.
When Yang Jian was guarding Stoudemire and the Sonics were counterattacking, Yang Jian would dunk without anyone double-teaming him. Stoudemire couldn't stop him even after fouling him, and was beaten to 21 twice.
What made the Blazers management collapse even more was the performance of Shawn Kemp. He completed the substitute task very well, his figure looked almost perfect, and he could hit the basket after covering the mid-range shot and making cuts.
In order to defend Kemp, the Trail Blazers players committed a lot of fouls. Kemp's free throw shooting rate has always been above 70%. Doesn't this look like he is retiring? He is clearly rejuvenated and will play for another three to five years.
No problem.
When the Blazers management negotiated a buyout with Kemp, they mainly relied on the reports issued by team doctors and scouts. After examining Kemp's situation, they concluded that Kemp could not play well. "If they want him to lose weight, unless Leifengta
Pour, the West Lake is dry."
These are not the team doctor's exact words, but his tone is very certain, and that's pretty much what he means. All he needs is to find a female to sing a chorus.
As a result, not long after Kemp returned to the Sonics, everything was different, even the film changed. "Only when the mountains have no edges and the heaven and earth are in harmony can I dare to fight with you."
The Blazers originally thought that Kemp's love for the Sonics was full, so they were willing to buy out his contract and return to Seattle with a minimum salary. Now they discovered that Kemp's love for the Sonics has overflowed, and his love is like a tide.
…
You took away everything from me without looking back. From then on, my heart was desolate in the snowy border.
Kemp averaged 20 minutes per game in the playoffs, averaging 10.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 0.3 assists. Although he has a single role now, he can perform well on the court and his shooting percentage is as high as 67.2%.
In the playoffs, Kemp played more minutes than Boozer, and he cooperated better with Yang Jian and Payton.
After the SuperSonics advanced to the finals, the media began to praise Yang Jian and mentioned Kemp. His data was not a star, but it surprised countless SuperSonics fans.
