Chapter 105 [Fighting crazy! 20 in a single section]
The 76ers attacked and the players started a one-on-one duel.
Sharon White caught the ball in the low post on the left and showed off his back attack skills. He first hit P.J. Brown twice, then used his body advantage to turn around to the middle and feint with the ball to make a shooting fake.
PJ Brown did not take off and raised his hands to interfere. Sharon White took a big step forward and made a shot against his opponent. 20 to 13.
PJ Brown's defensive awareness is good, but if he can't jump up when he is pushed up, he can't block the opponent's shot. Players who can play in the NBA have two skills. Sharon White has excellent low-post steps and can get the ball if he has it.
Quite a few points.
The SuperSonics attacked and the players began to move again.
Yang Jian, PJ Brown, and Schrempf formed a triangle on the left side. Payton and Kemp played a pick-and-roll in the middle and then broke through to the right to attack from the weak side.
The "weak side" in basketball terminology simply refers to the weaker side with fewer defenders. Playing basketball is like being a human being. If you want to play well, you have to go wide.
The 76ers' defense is constantly being tested, and it is easy for mismatches to occur on the court. Tim Perry must also help guard Payton, otherwise he will change directions with the ball and break through. Maxwell pursues Payton with all his strength, allowing him to defend against obstacles.
Pu is definitely unstoppable, his physical fitness is not at the same level.
After Payton attracted the defense, he passed the ball to Kemp in the middle. At this time, Yang Jian suddenly started on the left baseline, ran to the right at full speed, and got rid of Stackhouse with PJ Brown's off-ball screen.
At this time, there were multiple mismatches on the court, and the 76ers' defense was in chaos. Kemp took the ball and hit the basket in the middle. Tim Perry had no time to return, and center Sharon White, who had just come on, hurried to the middle to cover the defense.
Kemp saw that the opponent's square head was too big and did not hit hard. He ran and passed the ball to Yang Jian on the right baseline. When he broke into the middle, he had a wide field of vision and immediately saw his teammates.
Yang Jian caught the ball as soon as he ran out of the penalty area, took a step outside, turned around and shot a fadeaway jumper, and the ball went hollow into the net.
22 to 13, Yang Jian scored his 16th point.
Stackhouse desperately chased and blocked the shot, but it took time to get around the screen, so he was still a step too slow to take off. Yang Jian was confident after adding the buff, and his catch and shot were both fast and accurate, without fear of interference.
After the goal, Yang Jian roared again. Stackhouse was going crazy. He thought it was a provocation and he had to fight back.
The 76ers home fans gave Yang Jian some applause. Although he is an opponent's star, fans generally like to watch high scores.
Stackhouse wanted the ball as soon as the half was over. Seeing that Yang Jian was retreating relatively far, he directly made a pull-up jumper from outside the three-point line in the middle. Yang Jian deliberately gave up space. He was impressed by Stackhouse's mid-to-long range.
Incorrect jump shot.
However, Stackhouse felt good today and scored a three-pointer. 22 to 16.
The applause from the home fans was even louder. Although the 76ers were lagging behind, the scores scored by the stars were very exciting. They especially hoped that the two super rookies could compete and score high points together.
In the SuperSonics position battle, Yang Jian first went to the left baseline this time and ran to the right. Payton played a pick-and-roll with Kemp in the middle and directly passed the ball to Yang Jian, who ran to the right corner.
Yang Jian took the spherical frame, raised the ball and feinted, and Stackhouse flew up.
Players with accurate shots make the same fake moves as blacksmiths, making it easier to shake defenders because their shooting threats are too great. Stackhouse is afraid that if he jumps too late, Yang Jian will make a shot, so it is completely useless to bypass the screen.
Dare to waste time.
As a result, Yang Jian dribbled with his right hand and broke through Stackhouse. He dribbled to 45 degrees and made a sudden stop jumper. Tim Perry and Kemp, who was cutting from the air, got stuck fiercely. Maxwell followed Payton, but neither of them had a chance.
Assist in defense.
Yang Jian took the shot easily and hit the rebound, 24 to 16.
Plummer Lott shouted: "Young made another mid-range shot. His jump shot is so stable. He has scored 18 points today, 7 of 7 shots, 2 of 3 free throws, and only missed one free throw in the opening game."
Sheldon Lowry said: "Today he was able to score more than 20 points in a single quarter. I suspect his goal is not to be the Rookie of the Year at all, but to become the scoring leader in his rookie season. His performance reminded me of a rookie.
This season's Michael Jordan, unless double-teamed, he is unstoppable."
Plummer said: "Young's style of play is so flexible that you can't guess what he will do next. He can catch the ball and shoot, or he can break through with the ball."
Shelton said: "He is the person who takes the most shots on the Sonics, but his teammates don't say he is alone because he is the most accurate shot in the team. If he takes more shots, it will be easier for the Sonics to win."
The 76ers accelerated their offensive pace and played very simply.
After Maxwell and Sharon White played a pick-and-roll, they passed the ball to White who was cutting in the middle. White carried PJ Brown and forced a layup, scored and caused a foul. 24 to 18.
PJ Brown has also committed two fouls. His performance was not good today and he has not yet made a throw on the offensive end.
George Karl made substitution adjustments. PJ Brown and Schrempf came off the court together and were replaced by Sam Perkins and Vincent Askew. George Karl did not intend to strengthen the defense and wanted to fight with the 76ers on offense.
Sharon White's performance at the free throw line was terrible. He missed the extra free throw and made 0 of 3 free throws in the first quarter.
Kemp picked up the rebound easily, and the Sonics were in position again, with their formation even wider than before.
Payton and Kemp played a pick-and-roll, and Tim Perry actively assisted in defense. Payton protected the ball and changed direction and passed the ball to Kemp in the gap. The latter received the ball and took three steps to dunk the basketball with one hand. 26 to 18
.
Perkins, who had just come on the field, stood in the left corner and pulled Sharon White out of the penalty area. Yang Jian stood outside the three-point line on the right, and the formation was completely open. Payton and Kemp played pick-and-rolls and this was an opportunity.
, it was useless for Tim Perry to pursue the defense with all his strength. After assisting in defense, he could not turn around and block someone as powerful as Kemp from the side.
Lucas racked his brains on the sidelines but couldn't think of a way to deal with it. It was difficult to guard Kemp with only a strong inside line. If he was in the Twin Towers, he couldn't guard Yang Jian from running to catch and shoot. This seemed to be unsolvable.
At least the 76ers couldn't guard him.
The 76ers could only attack. Maxwell and Sharon White played a pick-and-roll, and the ball was passed to White. This time, Kemp and Perkins huddled in the penalty area to double-team White.
White passed the ball to the right baseline, and Tim Perry made a mid-range shot. 26 to 20.
During the SuperSonics offense, Payton and Kemp played a pick-and-roll, and Tim Perry switched positions to guard Perkins. Sharon White did not help guard Payton, blocking Kemp's cutting route and allowing his teammates to chase and defend.
.
Payton dribbled the ball and made a sudden stop inside the three-point line and missed the jump shot. This was Payton's first shot of the game, and he had a good opportunity but failed to seize it. A player's touch is determined by shooting, and if he doesn't take a shot for a long time, his hand will easily feel cold.
However, the Sonics' offense was not over yet. Yang Jian cut to the basket when Payton was moving laterally.
Yang Jian wanted to cooperate with Payton to hit the basket. Stackhouse was entangled around him and did not completely get rid of it, so Payton did not pass the ball and shot himself.
Yang Jianren had already arrived in the penalty area. When he saw the situation, he immediately rushed towards the direction of the ball. Seeing the opportunity, he jumped to grab the offensive rebound and tipped the ball in with both hands. Stackhouse took off a little slower and was not as high as Yang Jian.
Can't reach him.
This is the crushing of talent. Yang Jian made a tip-in from close range on the right side and scored, 28 to 20.
Sheldon sighed: "Young played like crazy in this game. He hit a tip-in and scored his 20th point. When he grabbed the rebound, his head was almost flat with the frame. Stackhouse's jumping ability was obviously not as good as him."
Plummer laughed: "Young is likely to score 40 or even 50 again today. He defeated Stackhouse in just one quarter."
Stackhouse was eager to retaliate to Yang Jian. He asked for the ball as soon as the half was passed and made moves outside the three-point line.
He dribbled the ball continuously under his hips, holding the ball with his left hand and changing direction to break through to the right. He did not grasp the distance well and underestimated the length of Yang Jian's arm. The two were too close, and when he changed direction, Yang Jian fiercely stretched out his hand and cut off the basketball.
Stackhouse is heavy and slow to turn. He lowered his center of gravity and could not reach the basketball. Although he has a height advantage, Yang Jian and his wingspan are both 210cm, so there is not much difference.
Yang Jian picked up the ball and went for a fast break alone. Stackhouse stumbled and was thrown away.
Yang Jian calculated the distance and took off, took the ball and swung it around, and the big windmill in the middle dunked the basketball with his right hand and scored!
30 to 20, personal 22nd point.
76ers coach Lucas asked for a timeout again. The score difference of 10 points was not too much, but Yang Jian could not be allowed to play like this anymore.
