Yang Jian knew that he would break the record if he scored one more goal in the open game, and would not be tied with Chamberlain. There was still plenty of time, and he did not feel pressure, but he was getting more and more excited.
This is the life he wants! This is the basketball game he wants to play! After rebirth, he is no longer ordinary.
The SuperSonics' lead reached 22 points, but the game had actually entered garbage time. In order to prevent the 76ers from losing too ugly, Yang Jian started to let loose again when defending Jeff Malone.
Yang Jian has been letting off steam. Malone did not receive the pass from his teammates in the previous rounds. He was a little confused as to why the 76ers sent this veteran.
This time Yang Jian stepped back two meters, wishing he could retreat to the basket.
This move deeply stimulated Jeff Malone.
Why is this? In the eyes of young players, am I a waste who doesn't need to defend at all? In the eyes of my teammates, I am also a waste, otherwise why can't I catch the pass in the open position?
This kind of treatment is something Jeff Malone has never encountered before. Once upon a time, he could also attract double-teams and assist teammates, and he was the most eye-catching star on the court.
He is a career scorer who averaged close to 20 points per game. He averaged 18.4 points per game with the 76ers last season and shot 50.7% from the field. However, he only played 19 games before being seriously injured and could not recover after his comeback.
It feels like scoring.
This is not just a decline in skills and physical fitness, Jeff Malone has lost confidence and fighting spirit.
He doesn't think he can win a championship in this life, and he doesn't have the ability to compete for another big contract. He feels that his career is like this. It can't be called a failure, but it doesn't have much success either.
Seeing Yang Jian's high-scoring performance, he had a strong desire to retire. He planned to retire after this season, and there was no need to continue.
The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves in front, and the waves in front die on the beach.
Jeff Malone was a front-runner who was beaten to death, and he died very completely. He didn't even dare to try to shoot a three-pointer in the open space, which is something he has not been good at throughout his career. He dribbled the ball into the three-point line,
Yang Jian scored an open mid-range shot without any interference at all, just watching him quietly. 107 to 87.
Jeff Malone was not happy after scoring the goal. He knew that the opponent deliberately let him shoot.
He felt a little sad. At his peak, he could not beat Jordan, Thomas, Bird and other superstars, and could not pass the first round of the playoffs. At the end of his career, he had become a stepping stone for newcomers. Maybe when people talk about Yang Jian in the future,
I will also think of his background board.
When the SuperSonics attacked, Yang Jian was double-teamed again, but the opponent still let Edwards go.
This time Edwards' open mid-range shot missed the basket. Before his serious injury, he was a breakthrough player. After losing his speed, he switched to shooting. His mid-to-long-range shots were not stable.
Yang Jian also had a headache. He was not good at rebounding and had not practiced specifically. The penalty area was blocked by 76ers players and it was difficult for him to grab offensive rebounds.
The 76ers counterattacked, Payton pressed, Maxwell almost made a mistake dribbling, and the ball was knocked out of the sideline by Payton.
The 76ers' many weaknesses have been revealed. The most serious weakness is that they do not have a serious point guard. Maxwell only rested for a while in the second quarter and was a guest point guard at the No. 2 position. The substitute point guard is very strong.
Weak, Lucas doesn't want to put it on the field.
At this time, the 76ers made a substitution, and Tim Perry came on the scene to replace Jeff Malone. Lucas could see how uncomfortable Malone was playing on the court. His experience was useless and he was not suitable to defend Yang Jian.
Candidate.
Lucas' previous arrangement was actually a tactical mistake. He always let Jeff Malone play in the second and fourth quarters of every game. Even if the veteran was in a sluggish state, Lucas would still give him a lot of playing time. I think this
It's a show of respect for the All-Star veterans.
In fact, Malone didn't feel that he was respected for playing on a bad team, and Philadelphia fans didn't take him seriously. He averaged only 6 points per game this season, which was a career low, and he still couldn't find a reason to fight.
When Jeff Malone left the field, another system notification sounded in Yang Jian's mind.
"The host has witnessed history. Star player Jeff Malone was beaten in an NBA game and completely lost confidence. He made the decision to retire after the season and gained 1 attribute point."
"Have you lost your confidence like this? This man's heart is really fragile. He is far worse than the other Malone. The other one was beaten every year and lasted 19 seasons."
Yang Jian had no idea who Jeff Malone was before, nor did he expect that the black substitute guarding him was actually a former All-Star.
He just felt that the opponent was weak and didn't know why the 76 coach sent this person to play. When Jeff Malone performed well, it was too early. Yang Jian had never watched his game. When the NBA was broadcast in China in his previous life, this person was
It's time to retire.
Regardless, multiple points are always good.
Yang Jian brought up the system panel with a thought and quickly added this point to the mental attribute. This attribute reached 25 points, which is still the weakest one.
It doesn't take much time for him to do these things on the court, and he has no intention of defending at all. It doesn't matter if the opponent's shot goes in.
When the 76ers attacked, Maxwell was a little unable to attack and no longer considered challenging Payton alone.
Stackhouse caught the ball from the outside, and Yang Jian stepped back two meters, completely ignoring it.
George Karl didn't know how to evaluate his behavior on the sidelines. It was too blatant to let go. But the NBA does not stipulate that players cannot let go when playing against weak teams. In fact, many stars will do this. It is an unspoken rule.
This not only saves face for the opponent, but also allows the star to play for a while and obtain better data. Jordan will also do this kind of thing. The Bulls often win big, and Jordan still averages 38 minutes per game this season.
Stackhouse felt that Shi Ke was unstoppable, so he shot a three-point jumper from the open space in the middle. His accuracy in the open space was pretty good, and he was able to guarantee another hit rate of .107 to 90.
Edwards is a disruptive player, and Yang Jian didn't want the score difference to be too big, but after Edwards was released, he went to his favorite right corner to catch the ball and shoot a three-point jumper, and the score was .110 to 90.
Payton's single-game assists reached 16, tying his career record.
The 76ers attacked, but Yang Jian continued not to defend. Stackhouse made another three-point jumper, but the ball missed the basket, and Kemp grabbed the rebound.
Teammates are now very easy to brush up the data, except for Yang Jian. In order to brush up the data, several people also started to play tricks. George Karl also replaced Edwards and replaced Schrempf, who performed extremely poorly today.
Schrempf also needs to improve his statistics a little bit, and he is better at rebounding and passing the ball. With him on the court, it is easier for Yang Jian to receive passes when he runs out of position.
Yang Jian made the next three shots, all of which missed when he was severely interfered with. The big jump shot didn't work either, it was too difficult for him to score.
With 4 minutes and 17 seconds left in the game, Yang Jian finally got another good opportunity. He caught the ball during a quick counterattack, forced a breakthrough with the ball, and caused a foul on Stackhouse.
It's difficult to defend against Yang Jian's one-on-one European step. Stackhouse is not as flexible as him and is still in a retreating state. If he doesn't pull people in, he will definitely be passed by Yang Jian.
Yang Jian made two free throws, and the home fans shouted "mvp" again!
Sheldon Lowry said: "Yang broke the record with his iconic counterattack. Stackhouse had no choice but to pull people. He seemed to have been dragged down by Yang and ran out of energy. The two played almost the same time.
, Yang’s physical strength is obviously better.”
Plummer Lott said with a smile: "The next thing to see is whether Yang can score 60. The 76ers are 19 points behind, and the only main players on the court for the SuperSonics are Payton and Yang. Yang has reasons to continue playing.
For the 76ers players, this period of time is torture."
Yang Jian's score came faster than everyone expected. In the next round, he ignored Stackhouse and suddenly ran to double-team the ball carrier. Maxwell was already distracted by Payton, and Yang Jian suddenly
He came out of the double team and stabbed the basketball away.
Yang Jian picked up the basketball and rushed forward. At this time, a dramatic scene occurred on the court. Maxwell hugged Payton without the ball. This was a pulling foul and should have been sentenced to two free throws and a throw, but the referee turned a blind eye.
No penalty was whistled.
Yang Jian easily dunked the basketball with one hand and scored his 61st point, breaking the record!
