The game was about to start, and the starting players of both teams gathered in the center circle of the stadium.
Cavaliers five: Darryl Johnson, Bob Sura, Donnie Marshall, Joe Courtney, John Amici.
SuperSonics Five: Snow, Yang Jian, Sherrel Ford, Frank Brickkowski, Rich King.
Yang Jian felt that the Cavaliers' lineup was far inferior to that of the SuperSonics. The most famous player was Sura. The second most famous player was blue-collar center Amic, because he was the first NBA player to publicly "come out" as a homosexual.
The rest of the Cavaliers may not have played in the NBA, and they are just marginal players. Yang Jian doesn't remember their names.
The SuperSonics made an adjustment today. Frank, who is good at shooting, became the starting power forward. Frank's tactical role is obviously greater than that of blue-collar muscular man Steve Scheffler, and he can help his teammates open up space during offense.
The SuperSonics management is considering signing veteran Frank, who shares playing time with Sam Perkins and has similar playing styles without having to adjust the main tactics.
Su La disdainfully glanced at Yang Jian beside him, without deliberately lowering his voice, and said provocatively: "You loser, are you ready to be beaten?"
Yang Jian looked at Sula, who was blond and blue-eyed, and looked very old. He had a small head, a small face, a small jaw, a high forehead and a high nose. At first glance, he looked exactly like 007 Daniel Gregg. It's a pity that Gregg has not starred in 007 yet.
, otherwise Sura may gain a lot of fans.
Yang Jian smiled slightly: "I'm ready, don't be polite, it's best not to pass a ball, just go back and beat me alone."
Sulla snorted. Well done. The Chinese who were defeated in the election dare to be so crazy. I’ll see if you still laugh after a while.
Although the Cavaliers lost the first game, Sura scored 22 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists. The media did not mention anything about Sura and only used a small page to report the Cavaliers' score.
Sura, who was a "legendary" star in school history in college, felt very unhappy. He believed that his statistics in the last game were better than Yang Jian's, and he was definitely stronger, and he also had two breakthrough dunks.
Will the media focus on the other party just because he is Chinese? This is unfair!
If Sura had watched the SuperSonics game video, he wouldn't think so. He did score more points than Yang Jian, but he also took twice as many shots, so his efficiency was incomparable.
The referee is a tall black man, and his enforcement actions are clean and neat. He blows the whistle, blows the whistle, enters the circle, and throws the ball all at once, and the game begins.
Amici is a black muscular man with a height of 208cm and a weight of 122 kilograms, but his jumping ability and wingspan are very poor. Supersonics center Rich King is also a floor player, but his height and wingspan are excellent. He can pass the ball with just one jump.
Snow.
When Yang Jian saw that Rich King had won the ball, he immediately sprinted forward, and Snow's long pass was delivered immediately. The two usually coached fast break cooperation, running diagonally, passing the ball comfortably, and receiving the ball.
of beautiful.
Sura turned around half a beat later and was completely thrown away. It was impossible to catch up. The rest of the Cavaliers were also slow to return to defense. None of them expected that Yang Jian would be so fast, and he rushed to the basket in the blink of an eye.
basket.
The unguarded Yang Jian calculated the distance and leaped high. He took the ball in both hands and circled around. He smashed the ball with an extremely round right hand and scored, 2-0!
"Ah!" Yang Jian clenched his fists and shouted, boosting his morale and adding a buff to himself.
His dunk action was very smooth. When he took off, he was far away from the basket and glided for a certain distance. The stadium was filled with excitement, and many people came just to see this.
"I'm not lying to you, am I? His game is simply a slam dunk contest, and he also has dunks like this on the court!"
"He will definitely be the number one dunker in the NBA next season. Jordan and Wilkins can't compare. They are both old. Kemp may not be able to beat him. He doesn't have many dunk tricks, but he is just fierce."
"It will be exciting to have him participate in next year's slam dunk contest."
Su La was stunned, his confidence began to waver, and he doubted that he was no match for Yang Jian. What frightened him was not only Yang Jian's jumping ability, but also his starting speed and explosive power.
It was impossible for him to keep up with this speed. He had only seen one person so fast in the NCAA, Georgetown University's first-year freshman Allen Iverson.
The Cavaliers attacked, and Sula reached out for the ball after halftime. He provoked the opponent, and it would be too embarrassing if he didn't retaliate.
Don't be cowardly! Sura's goal has changed from defeating Yang Jian to destroying each other with Yang Jian.
Point guard Daryl, born in 1965, was a third-round pick in 1987. He was not given a contract after being selected by the Warriors. He is 185cm tall and weighs 77kg. He has no advantages except breakthrough. He has been playing in low-level leagues before. This year
I want to try my luck in the summer league and realize my NBA dream.
Such a person has no sense of presence in the team. The coach cannot let him play casually. When he saw Sula asking for the ball, he passed it to him.
Yang Jian didn't stick close to him, and kept the distance to prevent penetration and not shots. He felt there was no need to use close defense against Sura outside the three-point line. In a parallel world, Sura didn't shoot many three-pointers in his entire career.
Sure enough, Sura had room to shoot without shooting. He held the ball and rushed inside. He is 196cm tall and weighs 91 kilograms. He thinks he is stronger than Yang Jian. Sura's jump shooting ability is average and is not an efficient scoring method. Breakthrough is his strength.
.If his jump shot shooting percentage is stable, he will not fall to the 17th pick.
Sura didn't expect to get past Yang Jian with speed, as the opponent was obviously faster than him. He was good at using his body to lean on the opponent, squeezing the opponent so hard that he couldn't jump up and forcing a layup, or attracting help from the defense to score the ball and assist his teammates.
Sura has always been the core player. He can crush 90% of the guards in college with his body. He has an advantage in height. Many shooting guards in college are less than 190cm, and point guards are even shorter.
Unfortunately, Sura's advantage turned into a disadvantage against Yang Jian. Yang Jian easily kept up and did not move an inch after the physical confrontation. On the contrary, the squeeze caused Sura's center of gravity to shift a bit.
The two are similar in height and weight. Yang Jian was judged by the system to have top physical fitness and was much stronger than Sura. He went to the gym to test and found that his core strength was so strong that it surprised the fitness instructor who was 20 kilograms heavier than him.
In terms of controlling balance, stabilizing the center of gravity, and transmitting power, Yang Jian can compete with people who are much heavier than him. He later said that he had been practicing kung fu since he was a child and had been doing horse walking for ten years. Many people believed it.
Sura felt like he had hit a wall. There was a 220cm center standing under the basket. How could he dare to force the shot? After taking three steps, he passed the ball out of the perimeter. The Cavaliers players could not open up the formation, and after passing the ball several times
Marshall beat Frank hard and missed the jump shot, and Rich King easily confiscated the rebound.
The Cavaliers players retreated very quickly, and the SuperSonics fell into position to fight.
Yang Jian first stood on the baseline for two seconds, saw Richkin pull out, and immediately ran to the top line.
Richkin pulled out to create space for his teammates to break through. Scherer broke through with the ball and found that Cavaliers center Amici did not follow. He was trapped in a double-team in the penalty area and could not take a shot, so he transferred the ball and passed it to Yang Jian.
It is the consensus of Sonics players to turn to Yang Jian when they are in trouble, and the coach will never find fault with them.
Yang Jian had a speed advantage and had a big man to cover him. He suddenly started to get rid of Sura, and he caught the ball in the high post and a little to the right and made a large mid-range shot.
If he hadn't acquired the skill "Iron-Blooded Jumper", Yang Jian would not have considered taking a single step inside the three-point line.
One step beyond the big two-pointer is a three-pointer. The shooting rate is not as good as that of close-range mid-range shots and low-post singles. It is the least efficient offensive area on the basketball court. The only advantage of this area is that it is easy to get space for shots. The opponent's inside line generally will not pounce.
Coming out, most people choose to prepare for rebounds near the penalty area.
Under the psychological suggestion of "increasing hit rate", Yang Jian shot faster and more decisively, believing that he could make the shot.
This mentality allowed Yang Jian to shoot as relaxedly as in training. His movements were very standard, and his shooting point was very high due to his outstanding jumping ability. Even if Sula caught up, it would be difficult to block the shot. He just stretched out his hand if he took a step slower.
Whoa! The ball hit the net. 4 to 0.
"Ah!" Yang Jian shouted again.
He doesn't care, he just shouts when he scores a goal, and he has to shout for the accuracy. If he only shouts for dunks, I don't know if the buff can be added.
Garnett shouted too few times and was a bit low-key. Yang Jian planned to follow Sharapova's example. Sharapova shouted every time she hit the ball, and she shouted every time she scored, which was not excessive.
Sulla was shocked and felt that he had provoked a madman. It was as if he had been beaten to death at the beginning.
He was thinking about how to fight when Yang Jian called out. "Come on, you're welcome, aren't you going to blow me up?"
"..." Sulla was riding a tiger and couldn't get off.
