After Yang Jian came off the court, he did not immediately call up the system panel to check the skills drawn from Garnett.
Although no one can see the system panel, he is staring blankly into the air, which may leave a bad impression on the coach. Bob Weiss is sitting next to him and will chat with him at any time.
So he focused all his attention on the basketball court, thinking about how to cooperate with his teammates for a while.
Weiss suddenly asked: "Watching their game, what do you think?"
"I think everyone should practice three-pointers. Players gather near the penalty area and play too chaotically. There should be at least two stable three-point shooting points on the court to open up space for teammates. The pick-and-roll tactics will be more powerful.
Yang Jian answered immediately without thinking.
In the future, if the team wants to play a smooth offense, it will not be enough to have only two three-point shooting points on the field. But in this era, it is extremely rare for a team to have two stable three-point shooting points on the field. Most teams simply cannot
Instead of shooting three-pointers, players keep attacking the basket, and when defending, they focus on guarding the penalty area.
The result of placing too much emphasis on attacking the basket is that in NBA games, one side often wins the game with just over 70 points, and the basket is almost knocked crooked by these people.
Weiss nodded. "You're right. We need a stable three-point shooting spot. This is what we need you to do well in the new season. After the summer league, we hope you can spend time practicing shooting and become better."
It's better now. Dunking can attract a lot of fans, but you can help the team even more if you practice shooting well."
"I promise I will improve in the summer. To be honest, my long-term goal is to become a super scorer and average five three-pointers per game. I will shoot until the opponent starts double-teaming in the center circle, and I don't dare to shrink in."
Under the basket, the fans will give me a nickname called 'Universal Gravity'." Yang Jian said with a smile.
Weiss was stunned for a moment and was amused by him. "Hahaha, your goal is really great, work hard."
There is no one in the league who averages three three-pointers per game in a single season. Of course Weiss thinks Yang Jian is joking. How many three-pointers does a person who averages five three-pointers per game have to take?
Yang Jian was not joking. He had seen how terrifying it was for such a player to go crazy. Even if this person could only barely dunk, he still made all his opponents fearful.
Other players were envious when they saw Yang Jian talking about speculation with the coach. The coach's attitude towards Yang Jian was so good, it seemed that as long as he ensured his shooting percentage, he might be the starter in the new season.
8 minutes later, Weiss adjusted the lineup.
He arranged the tactics and said: "If Eric and Ford fail to break through, pay attention to Yang's cuts at the baseline. If he gets rid of the ball, pass it to him. Yang can attack the basket, or he can attract help from the defense and pass the ball to the inside.
Ricky, Frank in the left corner."
Weiss knew that Yang Jian was not good at passing the ball, so he sent a power forward who seldom moved and was good at shooting to cooperate with him.
Frank Brickkowski is a 36-year-old veteran, the 11th pick of the third round in 1981. He is 206cm tall and weighs 109kg. He has played in the NBA for 10 seasons. He took a year off last season and now represents the Super League.
The Sonics compete in the summer league and want to pursue a minimum salary.
Frank is the best among low-draft picks. He averaged 16.9 points, 6.1 rebounds and 3 assists per game with the Bucks in the 1992-93 season.
As soon as Yang Jian came on the stage, many fans immediately applauded and had been waiting for him for a long time.
Garnett felt very uncomfortable. The audience's applause was not for him. The Timberwolves coach took him off to rest and came back when Yang Jian came on the court. He obviously wanted to limit Yang Jian's performance. This made him feel that he was a blue-collar worker.
, Yang Jian is the new star.
"We can't let this guy dunk anymore. I have to help defend at all times." Garnett guessed that Yang Jian was not good at passing the ball. If he is a player with very comprehensive skills, there is no reason to stand outside the three-point line most of the time waiting for the ball.
.
The Timberwolves had the ball. Garnett singled out Frank, turned around and missed a jumper outside the penalty area, and Scherer grabbed the rebound.
Frank is a floor player with good confrontation ability. His defensive method is also to keep Garnett away from the penalty area, forcing him to turn around and shoot jumpers. When the rookie Garnett gets the ball, he is always squeezed and his center of gravity is unstable, making his shots very uncomfortable.
The SuperSonics' offense was simple and effective. Snow took the ball to the frontcourt and lobbed the ball to Richkin on the left. The latter reached deep into the penalty area, turned towards the baseline and entered the basket, and scored on a rebound shot.
38 to 23, the SuperSonics' lead reached 15 points before they knew it. With the offensive power displayed by the Timberwolves, the whole game could score 70 points.
"No wonder no one has ever mentioned Garnett playing in the summer league. This is black history." Yang Jian thought to himself.
Garnett became stronger after gaining weight to 110 kilograms. Now Garnett is nothing special. He is both omnipotent and omnipotent. He needs assists from his teammates to ensure efficiency.
In a parallel world, Garnett's performance in his rookie season was mediocre. He was only commendable for catching mid-range shots. He was too soft and couldn't hit the penalty area or make free throws. Without star teammates, he couldn't get easy shots in pick-and-rolls.
The SuperSonics have obvious advantages inside. Several strong men have rich experience in NBA games, have good post-attack skills, and can use their bodies to score at the basket.
Yang Jian watched his teammates play and felt that the style of play in this era was too unreasonable. In the NBA, everyone practiced back-ups, and it was no exaggeration. Snow always liked to use his back to protect the ball when he brought the ball to the frontcourt.
After playing a few rounds, Yang Jian had a chance to perform.
He stands outside the three-point line to help his teammates open up space, and Rich King can calmly play singles on his side. However, it is difficult for him to get data when playing like this, and he still has to cut through the air.
The air cut depends on the timing. Richkin pulled out to cover, and Yang Jian cut in from the right and received Snow's pass.
Yang Jian has the ability to get rid of defenders. His speed and flexibility are much better than Thomas, who is 201cm tall. He first ran up the line, then reversed and cut through the air to escape. The opponent turned and started not fast enough.
Garnett immediately retreated to help defend. Yang Jian took the ball and rushed to the basket and transferred the ball laterally to Frank on the left baseline. The big man didn't need to get to the basket. He caught the ball and shot a three-pointer from the baseline.
Frank made an open shot, Yang Jian received an assist, and the SuperSonics led by 18 points.
Yang Jian's poor mental attributes do not mean that he cannot assist his teammates. Frank has always been near the left baseline and does not move much. Yang Jian knows that his teammates are in this position and do not need a wide field of vision. This is the benefit of playing according to tactics.
Garnett had no choice. No matter how fast he turned, it still took time. Frank was too far away from him and couldn't run past him. But he didn't regret it. If he didn't help defend, Yang Jian would have dunked directly.
When returning to defense, Yang Jian and Frank clapped their hands. Compared to the pure blue-collar team like Scheffler, Yang Jian prefers to partner with an inside player like Frank. If they work well together, they can play a smooth offense.
The Timberwolves made a mistake in their offense. Charles's intention of passing the ball to Garnett was too obvious, and the experienced Frank directly stabbed him away.
"Good opportunity." Yang Jian immediately stepped down from the left side and got rid of Thomas in a few steps, showing his speed advantage.
Frank picked up the basketball and hit it with one hand and passed it to the frontcourt. Yang Jian took the ball and took one step and took three steps in front of the free throw line. He calculated the distance and took off, grabbed the ball with both hands, rotated it in the air, and then passed the ball with his right hand.
Dunk into the basket!
"My God, the essence of human cinema!"
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
"Walt messed with Fuck!"
"Why isn't he a Jazz player? SuperSonics fans are so happy. Now they have two dunk kings on their team!"
The audience applauded Yang Jian wildly. They did not expect to see such a level of dunk in the summer league. Yang Jian's movements were very smooth, and today became his special dunk contest.
People all became fans of Yang Jian. He played very passionately and performed three wonderful dunks. In comparison, the Timberwolves' players felt too soft, and they took turns shooting outside the penalty area.
Some people say that Dominique Wilkins' dunks are so good that they look like a movie, and they nicknamed him "The Essence of Human Movies." Wilkins' signature move is the windmill dunk, which he just happened to wear with the Hawks.
It’s also the 21st.
Yang Jian's dunk action is more stretched because he is 193cm tall in shoes and Wilkins is 201cm tall.
The team's lead reached 20 points, and Yang Jian became more and more confident. He found that it was not difficult at all to adapt to the NBA...
