After the Chinese men's basketball team won the first game, everyone was very excited. Their good start in the NBA Summer League was a record, winning for the first time in history.
Yang Jian easily integrated into the team and did not need to train together for a long time. Because of his strong personal ability, his teammates just passed the ball to him and waited to catch the ball and shoot. In the national team, he is a core player, holding the ball and attacking.
accounts for a large proportion.
Yang Jian has generally figured out the level of his teammates. He will no longer pretend to be a selfless team player in the Olympics. He must let go of his hand to win.
In the future, Chinese fans like to joke about NBA stars as their "CBA teammates" when they don't get support. Yang Jian is leading a group of real CBA teammates this time, and this is a CBA that has just been established for one year.
In the second game, the Chinese men's basketball team narrowly defeated the Suns 86-84.
This time Yang Jian performed better. He hit a decisive three-pointer and led the team to come back and win the game after falling behind by 10 points in the final quarter. He scored 17 points in the final quarter and finished the game with 41 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists.
2 steals and 2 blocks.
The 22-year-old No. 15 pick Steve Nash participated in this game. He is an excellent point guard who organizes the team's offense in an orderly manner and can advance quickly and shoot.
His shortcomings are equally obvious: he is afraid of physical confrontation and has limited scoring ability. He played 25 minutes today and scored 7 points and 11 assists.
If there is not a particularly good opportunity to take a shot, Nash will not choose to shoot and pass the ball to find his teammates. In the first three quarters, the Suns played a fast break very well, but in the last quarter, his teammates misfired, and Nash was unable to stand up and score.
Nash's defense was extremely poor, and he couldn't guard against Li Xiaoyong, who was 189cm tall and weighed 85kg. He couldn't play well in the Suns. It wasn't until he met the noble old Nelson and the coach encouraged him to shoot more that he gradually became a star.
If it weren't for Nelson, Nash would most likely be in trouble because no one would reuse him. Nelson is a coach who doesn't pay attention to defense. He wishes that all the players on the court would be offensive players. If he couldn't be guarded, he would never criticize anyone. In such a Mavericks team,
, Nash was reused and gained confidence.
The Suns also have a rookie named Ben Davis who performs well in the paint. He is very athletic and easy to mess with due to his low IQ. Yang Jian has a way to lure him away and then pass the ball to his teammates in the paint. Wang Zhizhi performed well in this game.
Scored 17 points, 10 rebounds, and no assists.
Yang Jian suggested that both Wang Zhizhi and Battelle practice three-pointers and support. They don’t need to practice many positions, just can shoot directly in front of the basket. They have a height advantage, and it is easier to find running teammates when they take the ball in the middle.
Gong Xiaobin and Sun Jun can organize passes in the middle. The big man is on the side and the bottom line provides Yang Jian with no-ball cover to help him get rid of the defense and catch the ball.
As long as Yang Jian receives the ball comfortably, his opponents will be in big trouble. He is invincible in the summer league.
Now Yang Jian is not only accurate in shooting, but also has sharper breakthroughs. He is very skillful in combining the European step when pulling the ball. With his physical fitness, as long as the opponent does not cut off the basketball, he can force a breakthrough.
The third game, the Chinese team vs. the Lakers.
Before the game started, Kobe took the initiative to talk to Yang Jian and proposed a duel. He behaved politely and left a deep impression on everyone.
"Okay, come on." Yang Jian smiled.
Kobe wore the No. 32 jersey today. In addition to Jordan, the target he has to catch up with is Magic.
The Lakers management attaches great importance to Kobe, who has become famous at a young age and has unlimited potential. During the summer league, general manager Jerry West personally selected the No. 32 jersey of Lakers legend Magic Johnson for Kobe. He wanted to use this method to motivate Kobe.
, I hope he will grow up as soon as possible.
Yang Jian knew very well that Kobe would participate in the competition, and his mentality was still very relaxed. He had absolute confidence in himself and understood Kobe's style of play very well. He was not afraid even if he faced off against the peak Kobe.
After the game started, Kobe challenged Yang Jian to a one-on-one challenge with a spherical frame, but as expected, he was at a disadvantage.
Yang Jian feels that Kobe now relies on his body to play. His dribbling is very smooth but does not change much. It is easy for opponents to judge his next move.
Kobe's change of direction is very fast, but he is too thin to fight. He is 198cm tall and weighs only 90 kilograms. Yang Jian's defense can keep up with Kobe's speed to complete the close-up, but Kobe's close-up cannot withstand Yang Jian's forced breakthrough.
Because Kobe was young, had good personal skills, and was young and energetic, his cooperation with his teammates was not very good. Point guard Fisher constantly communicated with Kobe, trying to integrate Kobe into the team, but the chemical reaction was not good.
Kobe is still too young and is prone to fake moves. In the second quarter, Yang Jian ran from the outside to catch the ball and feinted to shake Kobe up, completing a 4-pointer.
In order to compete with Yang Jian, Kobe repeatedly turned around and shot jumpers without being able to get away. Most of his shots were blocked due to interference. The coach couldn't stand it any longer, so he took Kobe off and gave him a lesson.
The Chinese men's basketball team's offense was very smooth, with good passing and cutting, clear tactics, and it always maintained the lead. A Lakers post player named David Pugh broke out and scored 16 points in the half, so the score did not open too much.
In the second half, Yang Jian continued to score continuously, and after attracting double-teams, he assisted Hu Weidong to hit three consecutive three-pointers, and the point difference widened to more than 15 points.
Then Liu Yudong also stepped up and scored consecutively, and the Lakers were unable to recover.
At the end of the game, 112 to 91, the Chinese team won by 21 points and won three consecutive victories in the summer league.
Yang Jian made 12 of 18 shots, 5 of 9 three-pointers, 7 of 7 free throws, and scored 36 points, 5 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks. Kobe Bryant made 7 of 19 shots, 1 of 4 three-pointers, and 3 of 4 free throws.
18 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist.
Hu Weidong scored 24 points, Liu Yudong and Sun Jun also scored 18 and 13 points.
After the game, Kobe was a little frustrated and found that he had thought of things too simply.
When he went to the 76ers for a trial, he beat Stackhouse in a one-on-one. He thought this meant that he was capable of averaging 20 points per game when he entered the NBA, because Stackhouse averaged 19 points per game last season. Now he
I feel that winning against Stackhouse is nothing special. Yang Jian scored 61 points at the 76ers' home court, and he was not facing a one-on-one defense.
The Lakers management was paying attention to this game, and West felt uncomfortable again.
Yang Jian was just a hair away from joining the Lakers. He just missed a chance to try out, and the Lakers pushed him out. Kobe was very talented, but it took time for him to realize his talent, and there was a clear gap between him and Yang Jian.
Yang Jian won easily and was not surprised.
In a parallel world, Kobe Bryant was beaten when he singled out Van Exel during team training. Van Exel was unable to compete with Yang Jian. He was so stimulated by his dunk that he sleepwalked throughout the season, and his shooting percentage was less than 40.
%.
At the end of the game, Yang Jian also heard the system prompt.
"The host changed the history of NBA stars. All-star player Nick Van Exel lost the opportunity to become the first NBA player to defeat Kobe. The host obtained attribute point 1 and randomly selected Van Exel's skills——
Stadium artist!”
Yang Jian immediately called up the system page to check this skill.
Court artist: "Van Exel's game is very entertaining to watch, with all kinds of wonderful passes, pull-ups, twisting shots, and even a 360-degree floating three-pointer at the critical moment. He is good at shooting fairy balls. He has this talent.
, when the host uses unconventional postures to play, it will slightly increase the shooting percentage and the probability of sending a wonderful pass."
To put it simply, this skill is to encourage Yang Jian to play in a flashy manner. He does not intend to do this, but it is better to have this talent. If the opponent's defense is extremely tight and his teammates cannot shoulder the heavy responsibility, he will have to make a lot of strong shots.
He is likely to encounter this kind of thing in the Olympics, and Van Exel helped him improve his strength from the distance.
He took a look at the four basic attributes, physical fitness 90 (top), basketball skills 65 (excellent), shooting accuracy 7610 (super shooter), and spirit 64 (genius).
His basketball skills were increased by 5 points, and xjbd was also judged as a skill by the system. He added the newly acquired points to his mental attributes. After gaining new talents, he was not in a hurry to add skills and shooting accuracy.
"Brother Yang, what are you thinking about? It's time to go back." Wang Zhizhi said beside him.
"I'm summarizing this game, thinking about my shortcomings and how to play more effectively. I suggest you do the same in the future, it will be beneficial." Yang Jian casually made up a reason.
Wang Zhizhi nodded seriously. Many years later, he said that he would do this every time after a game and had benefited a lot.
