Chapter 19 Chapter 19 [Demolish you on an empty stomach! 】
The Cavaliers and Timberwolves have the same weakness. They lack shooting points. If they can't make fast breaks, they have to attack in the low post.
In 1995, every team had similar weaknesses, including the Pacers, who had the all-time leading shooter Reggie Miller. Miller averaged 2.4 three-pointers per game last season, but the team averaged only 2.0 three-pointers per game.
Scored 4.6 three-pointers.
Generation after generation, generation after generation, the most powerful person in the NBA is Jordan, who is accurate in mid-range shooting and can break through. At critical moments, Jordan can always use singles to hit the ball again and again. His average field goal percentage is about 50%.
More than most players, he can be compared with inside players.
Most rookie defenders can only stare blankly when faced with a long penalty area, and Sura is one of them.
When he was in college, Sura didn't meet many big men with a height of over 210cm, nor did he meet many defenders who were stronger than him. What he was good at was using his physical advantage to bully others, and he racked up statistics during his junior and senior years.
.After entering the NBA, how can a rookie with extremely poor athletic ability be abused by him?
Sula, who was not very capable and had a bad temper, once again attacked with the ball and competed with Yang Jian.
This time Sura still failed to break through. He dribbled the ball from the crotch to the back twice. The action was fancy but the first step was not fast. Yang Jian could keep up with it effortlessly, but Sura couldn't get rid of it. He was on the left side of the free throw line.
Forced jump shot. Yang Jian refused to take the shot and blocked his eyes when taking off to interfere.
Future defensive expert Shane Battier likes to defend like this. He can't get data but makes his opponents uncomfortable, and it's still very clean.
Players with excellent shooting touch are not afraid to close their eyes, but this defensive method is effective for most players. Yang Jian's skills before crossing over were average, but he knows many skills that will only be available in the future. After he has a good body, he can figure out the defensive effect well.
Moreover, he used to be short, so he knew very well the consequences of taking off early and jumping with all his strength when defending. He developed a good habit of not jumping around, and he had excellent jumping ability but would not be swayed by his opponent when defending.
Sula made a furious shot under the interference of the blind eye, and Frank picked up the rebound.
When the SuperSonics attacked, Yang Jian actively moved under the cover of Rich King and was unwilling to stand on the baseline today.
Frank started in the left corner, and Yang Jian's position could be more flexible. Coach Weiss allowed him to run more. It was exactly the same as the situation just now. Scherer broke through with the ball and had no chance to make a shot, but attracted center Amici.
When you get near the penalty area, you won't switch defenses.
Richkin blocked Sula, Scherer passed the ball, and Yang Jian received the ball and got a good shot.
Yang Jian caught the ball and threw it, and Sula jumped up to block the shot with all his strength. He seemed to almost catch up, but in fact there was no interference effect. When he jumped up, the ball had already flown to the basket.
Whoops, Yang Jian made another hollow shot. 6 to 0.
"Ah!" Yang Jian roared again, a little addicted.
After scoring two large mid-range shots in a row, he felt that he had become much stronger. No matter how accurate the players are in training, they may not be accurate in the game. Many people even dare not take the shot for fear of being too inefficient and dragging down their teammates.
Yang Jian's mentality has changed. As long as the coach allows him, he dares to take 30 shots or more in a game.
He feels that his shots must be more accurate than those of his teammates. This kind of self-confidence is not something ordinary people can have. Only players with this kind of mentality can become superstars or super cancers.
Moreover, he found that shouting after scoring a goal really boosted morale.
I don't know what his teammates think of him, but his morale has been high anyway. This can also increase his sense of presence and make it easier for fans to remember him.
Some people think it doesn't matter if he makes a fuss out of a molehill. If Garnett yells too much, doesn't he really become "harder"?
The impression Garnett left on his fans was that he was tough, even though he never played center. Even though he made crazy jump shots in the 2008 Finals, and his 40% shooting rate was lower than that of outside players, many people still said that he was "complete."
Pau Gasol, who has a higher shooting percentage and similar statistics, should win FMVP.
Of course, being tough in the NBA has a lot to do with the skin color of the players. It is much harder for Yang Jian to win the title of tough guy.
Without checking the detailed data, who would have thought that the "softie" sister-in-law's offense is mainly in the low post and supplemented by mid-range shooting, while the "tough guy" Garnett is mainly in the mid-range and supplemented by the low post?
The fans gave Yang Jian warm applause, and coach Weiss on the bench took the lead in applauding.
In the first game, Yang Jian scored consecutively at the beginning, and it was like this again today. Weiss felt that Yang Jian had unlimited shooting rights, and he could score 30. When he said that the mid-range shooting felt good, it was really good, and he was not bragging.
On the defensive end, Yang Jian and Sura kept one and a half steps away and stopped talking.
He was too lazy to say anything. He had a strong desire to attack and just wanted his opponent to shoot as quickly as possible and then attack.
Sura did not disappoint Yang Jian. He suddenly made a three-pointer and shot out of the frame under slight interference.
This is not the playing rhythm that Sura is used to. How can his shooting percentage be guaranteed? His three-point shooting percentage in college was more than 30%. He can shoot but is not a conventional weapon.
Surata wanted to hit back with a goal. Yang Jian had already scored 6 points, but he didn't score a single point. He had a headache just thinking about the provocation before the game. Maybe in the eyes of the opponent, he was an idiot who overestimated his capabilities.
The two big men of the SuperSonics did a good job of protecting the backcourt rebounds, and Snow dribbled the ball steadily through half court.
The SuperSonics have a very strong lineup. Lithuanian center Julius Zukauskas is desperate and plans to return to Europe to sign a long-term contract after playing in the summer league. He will not consider playing in the NBA. He can start in many strong teams in Europe.
Being a fringe player in the NBA is not enough.
The SuperSonics played the same tactic continuously. This time Yang Jian ran up the line to catch the ball, and Sura bypassed the screen and caught up.
Yang Jian feinted and missed the shot. He quickly moved sideways to the right and passed the ball to Richkin, who was backing up to the edge of the penalty area. Richkin used his height advantage to single out Amici, but turned around and missed the shot.
Amici's legs are very thick and very resistant. No one except O'Neal can easily push him away.
Marshall grabbed the rebound and passed the ball to start a fast break. Point guard Daryl used his speed to pass Snow in the high post for a layup. As soon as he took the shot, he flew up behind him. Darryl's speed can shake off Snow and ignore it.
Yang Jian returned to defense.
Yang Jian's prediction was accurate and he let Sura go. After jumping up, he directly caught the basketball with both hands and pressed it on the backboard before falling.
This kind of "catching a hat" is rare in NBA games, and the whole audience was in an uproar.
"Ahhhh! That's awesome!"
"Fuck, what is this?"
"You will die on an empty stomach! This is Qinggong!"
Yang Jian not only completed the shot, but also turned around and passed to Snow for a fast break. Unfortunately, Snow failed to live up to his expectations and couldn't shoot the three-pointer. Otherwise, he would have had a good chance to shoot the three-pointer.
Darryl was dumbfounded after being blocked, and was half a beat too late to return to defense. Snow's weakness was obvious, as he had no confidence in shooting, so he passed it to Sherrel in the frontcourt, who broke through and scored.
8-0, the Cavaliers coach had no intention of calling a timeout.
Rafael, the second assistant coach who assisted him, couldn't sit still. "Eddie, don't we call a timeout to adjust?"
"How to adjust? The Chinese is too fast. Who can keep up in one-on-one? Or should we double-team him without the ball?" Eddie sighed.
"..." Raphael was speechless.
He could see that the Cavaliers' lineup was not as good as the SuperSonics, and the substitute players were not as good as the starters, so it was really difficult to make substitutions and adjustments.
If Sura couldn't guard against Yang Jian, others would be even less able to guard against him, so he could only let Sula, who had the best physical fitness in the team, be on the line. A swingman who was about two meters tall was useless against strong opponents and couldn't keep up with Yang Jian's speed.
.They felt it was too fast when watching from the sidelines, but the people on the court must have felt it even more deeply.
Rafael knows that there are not many active players in the league with similar speed to Yang Jian, and Jordan is not as fast as him. After all, he is 32 years old.
In the next round, the Cavaliers finally scored. Darrel changed direction and passed Snow, broke through and scored a layup. 8 to 2.
Snow, a heavy point guard, is effective at defending tall point guards and shooting guards, but he is only afraid of small, fast men. His weakness is that he is not sensitive enough and has difficulty keeping up with rapid changes in direction. Being close to him is not always useful.
During the SuperSonics offense, Scherer held the ball in a single and missed the jump shot. Marshall grabbed the rebound.
Weiss gently shook his head on the sidelines, dissatisfied with Scherer's performance. He told Scherer many times, "If you break through, you can't pass the ball. Don't force a jump shot against the defender." Scherer always turned his head and forgot, it seemed.
My brain is not working very well.
Weiss felt that basketball would turn into a chaotic battle without tactics if it did not pass through Yang Jian's hands. Compared with Yang Jian, other players' personal abilities were far inferior.
