When the East attacks, the players in the West stay close to the penalty area and man-to-man, and the defense is not very serious. If we defend like this after 2015, the opponent can score 200 points. But in this era, most stars who have the opportunity to shoot three-pointers like
Rush to the basket.
Don't ask why, it's just one word - hard!
The Eastern Conference lineup has a serious flaw. It lacks three-point shooting points. Among the starting five, the player with the highest three-point shooting percentage in the regular season is Michael Jordan. He is the only one with a shooting percentage of more than 40%, averaging 41% from the field per game.
Scored 1.5 goals.
George Karl did not arrange to shrink the formation. The players did it spontaneously, saving energy on the defensive end and gaining rebounds and data.
Payton also did not defend with all his strength and kept a certain distance to prevent penetrations but not shots.
Hardaway faced Payton and made a three-pointer, hitting the iron under interference. Pippen grabbed the offensive rebound and passed the ball to O'Neal from close range. The fat man jumped up and made another two-handed dunk. 5 to 4.
The All-Star Game has just begun, and Olajuwon is too embarrassed to use the shark-cutting tactic. It is too difficult to defend someone like O'Neal one-on-one. His only weakness is free throws.
When the West attacked, Yang Jian ran to catch the ball in the right corner without making a fake move and directly changed direction to the left and took a step.
Hardaway chased around the screen and suddenly braked and moved sideways. Yang Jian dribbled the ball behind his back and gave his right hand another change of direction. Hardaway quickly stabilized his center of gravity and moved sideways to prevent a baseline breakthrough.
Yang Jian dribbled the ball from his right hand to his left hand. Hardaway moved his center of gravity a little, and Yang Jian dribbled the ball with his left hand to the right and quickly changed direction.
His series of movements are not very smooth, but they are extremely fast. Players may not be able to guard against them even if they don't get caught.
He doesn't usually play like this, but he wanted to show off his skills during the All-Star Game. He changed directions continuously and made Hardaway lose his center of gravity and sit on the ground.
Yang Jian did not dribble the ball to the basket, but made an emergency stop at the baseline and shot the ball hollowly into the net! 7 to 4.
Zhang Lili shouted excitedly: "Okay, Yang Jian plays with him!"
Sun Zhengping said with a smile: "Yang Jian proved that he is not only good at catching and shooting and cutting and dunking, he is not bad at attacking with the ball, but the Sonics need him to play without the ball. Hardaway was knocked down at the beginning.
It’s so shameless.”
Zhang Lili said: "This is the reason why Jordan doesn't want to defend Yang Jian. He is too fast. Hardaway can't return any of them if he wants to, so Yang Jian doesn't defend him."
Hardaway, who had a high self-esteem, was angry and immediately challenged Payton with the ball, hoping to prove himself by punishing Payton. Payton had been selected to the All-Defensive First Team for two consecutive seasons, and Hardaway singled out his
It is more difficult than challenging Yang Jian alone.
Hardaway didn't care about this and just wanted to score. He dribbled the ball continuously and then changed direction. Payton saw the right moment and reached out and cut off the basketball with one palm.
The ball rolled past Hardaway's crotch. He turned around to pick up the ball as quickly as Payton, who was rushing straight away, and was intercepted.
Payton dribbled the ball across half court and passed it to Barkley who was coming down the right side. The "Flying Pig" rushed up and ignored Grant Hill's defense, dunking the ball with both hands and scoring! 9 to 4.
Hill is known for his gentlemanly demeanor. He played very gentlemanly in his first All-Star Game. When he saw Barkley charging, he didn't think of fouling him.
Hardaway was even more depressed now. He was the worst player on both teams after the start.
In a parallel world, Hardaway started against Jason Kidd, who was participating in the All-Star Game for the first time. He performed very well in the first quarter. Now he faces Yang Jian on the defensive end and Payton on the offensive end.
The most difficult character.
Hardaway couldn't keep up the fight by himself, and he couldn't get it back if he lost face. He was so anxious that he was sweating. No one could face such a contradiction in the All-Star Game. After all, he didn't dare to keep up the fight by himself.
Passed the ball to Jordan in position.
Jordan took the ball with his back in the low post on the left, shook his left shoulder, quickly turned to his right and passed Yang Jian, broke into the basket and scored a one-handed dunk. 9 to 6.
When the Western Conference attacked, Yang Jian ran to the right to catch the ball without pausing. He looked at Magic Johnson in the middle and fiercely moved the ball with both hands to Barkley, who was cutting from the left baseline.
Barkley pushed away Hill to catch the ball and went to the basket, dunking the ball with one hand. O'Neal was a little slow to cover. 11 to 6.
Zhang Lili shouted: "Barkley dunked again. The Western Conference's offense was going very smoothly today. Yang Jian was moving on the outside to attract the defense. Barkley rushed to the basket. Yang Jian passed the ball at a very good time."
Sun Zhengping said: "Yang Jian's passing awareness is not bad, but the team does not need him to be an all-around fighter. His main task is to score points, and he cooperates very well with Payton."
When the Eastern Conference attacked, the players still started a one-on-one duel. This time O'Neal held the ball and pushed it to the basket. When he turned around and made a strong move, Olajuwon drew a foul. Olajuwon wanted to just mess around and get it done, but the fat man was aggressive.
He can't let the opponent dunk on him three times in a row.
All centers would lose face against someone like O'Neal. This guy's style of play is too fierce. He almost scores in the penalty area and dunks many times a game. In the first three seasons of entering the league, O'Neal separated the famous inside line.
Deducted once.
O'Neal made one of two free throws, 11 to 7.
Payton passed half the court to Magic. Magic saw that Olajuwon had to fight back. Instead of passing the ball to Yang Jian, he dribbled the ball to the left and lobbed it to Olajuwon, who was back-up.
Zhu Wang.
Magic and Yang Jian opened up, creating space for Olajuwon to play singles. The three of them had a tacit understanding without having to practice.
This game was broadcast live in many countries. Basketball experts can see that Yang Jian is not only strong in scoring, but also has a very strong ability to read the game.
Olajuwon took the ball and took a step toward the baseline, turned and feinted, then turned back and shot a jumper, which missed due to interference.
O'Neal was angry when the Rockets swept him in the Finals last season, and he defended Olajuwon with all his strength. Dameng even used the trick "Magic of Love to Turn in Circles" but could not get rid of the fat man.
Pippen grabbed the backcourt rebound and passed it to Hardaway, and the Eastern team quickly counterattacked. Hill received the ball and passed Barkley in a different direction, and dunked with one hand. 11 to 9.
The fans also gave Hill a lot of applause, and his popularity is very high.
The Western team attacked. Yang Jian caught the ball under Olajuwon's cover. Hardaway chased and defended closely. Yang Jian made a move and passed the ball to Olajuwon.
Olajuwon once again posted up O'Neal, turned around and shot a fadeaway jumper in the middle. His move was beautiful, but the ball still missed the basket. Jordan grabbed the backcourt rebound, and the Eastern Conference immediately launched a counterattack.
Olajuwon's shooting touch was average today, and it was difficult to hit the basket against O'Neal, making it difficult for him to perform. Even he suffered a lot from the physical confrontation with the fat man.
Hill passed half the court to Hardaway, who forced a layup against Payton but missed due to interference. Barkley grabbed the rebound and passed the ball to start a counterattack, and Magic passed the ball to Yang Jian.
Yang Jian did something magical in the middle. He shot a three-pointer from two meters away from the three-point line. Jordan retreated to the three-point line and was stunned. What was he doing? Didn't he want to play?
Jordan turned around and found that Yang Jian's shot had a very high arc. The ball drew a wonderful arc and hit the net! 14 to 9.
Everyone was stunned and the fans applauded wildly.
"Drink!" Yang Jianyan clenched his fists and roared angrily. He was very excited when he hit a long three-pointer.
George Karl watched with amusement from the sidelines and took the lead in applauding.
Yang Jian usually practices long-range three-pointers in the team. The center is the farthest. In every training, he has to shoot 20 long-range shots from two meters outside the top of the arc. People don't understand why he does this. George Karl doesn't practice much.
I won't talk about him.
Now George Karl understands that Yang Jian practices long-range three-pointers in order to one day play in the All-Star Game. In fact, Yang Jian feels that it is not far enough. When he can guarantee a hit rate two meters from the three-point line, he will practice shooting in the logo area.
Sun Zhengping said: "Yang Jian didn't dunk today, but scored two three-pointers, two mid-range shots, and scored 10 points."
Zhang Lili said with a smile: "I think he might win the three-point shooting competition if he participates in it. His shots from this position are too outrageous. His teammates are all big-name stars. He really dares to shoot and really scores!"
David Robinson was a little confused on the sidelines. Didn't you say you were going to pass the ball to me to help me win the MVP? Why did you keep throwing the ball? I haven't even played yet. Is the MVP almost decided?
Yang Jian has forgotten Robinson now and wants to compete for mvp.
It's all because my hands are too hot today and I can't control myself.
