The last opponent of the Chinese Men's Basketball Summer League was the Pistons, who won 107 to 89 by 18 points.
Yang Jian once again produced horrific statistics, 45 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, and 4 steals, with a shooting percentage of 60%. His big jump shot was almost unbeatable. He could catch the ball and throw, step back and throw, turn and throw backwards, and his shooting percentage was over 100%.
high.
After he stole the ball, no one could catch up, and he performed three top-five dunks.
The attendance at the Chinese team's games was full, and the fans were hooked. Many people drove from Los Angeles to Long Beach to watch Yang Jian play, which shows how charming he is.
Pistons player Randolph Childress almost collapsed after being blasted by Yang Jian. The 188cm shooting guard had no way to deal with Yang Jian except fouling. If the summer league did not allow players to commit 10 fouls, Randolph would have been half-time
You have to be sent off.
The Pistons came to the summer league to compete and lost all four games. Their biggest rookie was forward Jerome Williams, the 26th pick in the first round, a lanky blue-collar power forward.
Wang Zhizhi scored 14 points and 7 rebounds against Jerome, and his performance once again left a deep impression on people. Some American scouts are already eyeing Wang Zhizhi and want to invite him to play in the NCAA in the United States.
The Chinese men’s basketball team’s four-game winning streak in the Summer League has become big news. Historically, the men’s basketball team has never won in such a “high-level” training match. During training camps in Asia, the men’s basketball team usually competes with countries such as the Philippines and Japan.
Winning a team's warm-up match won't have much of a training effect.
Now, the players' confidence is built up.
Chinese fans have also seen hope. The men's basketball game has become the most watched event in this Olympics. Yang Jian won the Long Beach MVP, averaging 40 points per game. The American media reported on the game and said that Yang Jian led the team to the Olympics with a single core.
, it would be a miracle if we could enter the semi-finals.
Afterwards, the Chinese men’s basketball team played a friendly match with the American Dream Team.
In this game, Yang Jian couldn't help his teammates. He only scored 23 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists.
The Chinese team lost 76 to 107 by 31 points. This was much better than the performance in the 1994 World Championships. After Yang Jian joined, the team's offense had a backbone and the number of mistakes was reduced a lot.
The Chinese team couldn't guard against the offensive attack of the Dream Team 3, and the opponent's hard attack to the basket was extremely efficient.
The Dream Team 3 are all NBA All-Star players. Yang Jian can compete at position 2 and has a slight advantage. The Dream Team 3 has the upper hand in other positions.
No matter who among the six insiders, O'Neal, Olajuwon, David Robinson, Karl Malone, Charles Barkley, and Kemp, the Chinese team will not be able to defend.
The most terrible thing is that China's inside players cannot protect the backcourt rebounds well. The main focus of this Dream Team is inside offense, from the inside out, the inside line is opened to attract double teams, and the outside players catch the ball and take shots.
Yang Jian is also very good at passing cuts to teammates, but the power of CBA teammates to attack the basket is far from comparable to Kemp's performance in the SuperSonics.
After the game, Chinese reporters accompanying the team interviewed the players. Everyone was very confident about reaching the quarterfinals in the Olympics, but they did not appear particularly happy.
Everyone knows that Yang Jian's goal is not to win the top eight, but to win medals. It would be embarrassing if the media broke the news that their goals were inconsistent with the core goals of the team.
The reporter also asked the players if they had met Yang Jian's girlfriend, and everyone chose to keep it secret, even though they knew that Yang Jian had stayed in other hotels for a few nights and met his girlfriend.
The person who came to Long Beach to find Yang Jian was Drew Barrymore. She told Yang Jian that the filming location of the movie had been determined, and it was on Santa Catalina Island, very close to Los Angeles.
This island is known as the "People's Back Garden of Los Angeles", with a total length of 25 kilometers and a width of 13 kilometers. The island does not have the commercial atmosphere of ordinary tourist attractions. People who come here for vacation can feel the West Coast style more deeply. Visitors only need to climb
If you climb any hill or mountain, you can have a panoramic view of the entire island.
Sightseeing activities on the island include golf cart rides around the mountain, submarine rides into the sea, helicopter overlooking the island, go-karts, paragliding, kayaking, surfing, fishing, etc.
There happens to be a small aquarium here, and the crew is filming a movie to promote the island. The person in charge of the aquarium is willing to help them complete the filming. Because the animals are not easy to appear on camera, the staff will also play guest roles, so that the protagonist can complete the interaction with the animals well.
Interactive plot.
The scenery on the island is beautiful, with some elegance in the freshness, which makes people feel relaxed. People often compare Hawaii with Santa Catalina Island. Many people think that in terms of pure tourism and vacation, Santa Catalina Island
Talina Island obviously gives people a better feeling than Hawaii.
After the Olympics are over, Yang Jian will join the crew for filming. The movie does not need to build exteriors, it can be shot locally. There are also small and remote restaurants, where the important scenes where the male and female protagonists meet will be filmed.
The Chinese men's basketball team flew to Atlanta. Yang Jian did not stay in the Olympic Village as agreed. Barrymore had already booked a hotel and would spend some time with him.
Moreover, the two of them plan to make a public appearance this time, which is the easiest way to promote the movie. If reporters interview them, they will say that they are good friends and will not admit their relationship.
Yang Jian is also in contact with other SuperSonics teammates and keeps abreast of the team's situation. If the team wants to defend its title next season, it cannot do without good teammates.
P.J. Brown was poached by the Heat and became an inside partner with Alonzo Mourning. The Heat's goal was to compete for the championship and offered P.J. Brown a high-salary long-term contract worth $35 million over seven years.
After winning the championship, P.J. Brown's value skyrocketed. It would not be impossible for the Sonics to match, but then the team's total salary would be ridiculously high. The manager believes that blue-collar insiders can find replacements in the free market.
match.
Earvin Johnson also left. He joined the Nuggets freely on a two-year contract, and his annual salary of US$2 million was also a premium. He is a pure blue-collar player and has little role in the playoffs.
Swingman Vincent Askew joined the Pacers. Veteran Brickkowski wanted to stay, but he would retire at any time if he couldn't play anymore, and the Sonics gave up on renewing his contract.
Two veterans, Detrev Schrempf and Sam Perkins, chose to take a salary cut and renew their contracts. Their contracts are around 3 million, which is absolutely worth it.
Eric Snow and Bo Outero also renewed their contracts for two years at low salaries. They can play some roles and hope to build a dynasty with the team.
The biggest good news is that veteran center Terry Cummings has joined the SuperSonics with an annual salary of 1 million in order to pursue a championship ring at the end of his career.
Terry Cummings is 35 years old, 206cm tall and weighs 100kg. He was the second pick in the first round in 1982. He was selected to the NBA All-Star team twice in 1985 and 1989. He was also elected as the best rookie and selected
Once in the best second team, once in the best third team.
In his peak season, he averaged 23.6 points, 9.1 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.8 blocks per game. Last season he played for the Bucks, averaging 8 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 22 minutes per game.
His best skill is mid-range shooting. He can be called a mid-range terminator at the 4th position and can occasionally hit three-pointers.
Trail Blazers veteran power forward Buck Williams also joined the SuperSonics at a low salary, also to compete for the championship.
Buck is 36 years old. He is 203cm tall and weighs 98kg. He was drafted in the first round in 1981 and was selected to the All-Star Game three times in his career. He was also selected to the All-Star Game in his rookie season and won the Rookie of the Year.
At his peak, he averaged 18.2 points, 12.3 rebounds, 2 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.3 blocks per game for the Nets. Last season he played for the Trail Blazers, averaging 7.3 points and 5.8 rebounds in 23.9 minutes.
The two veterans not only made up for the vacancy left by the Sonics' interior players, but also provided Yang Jian with two attribute points.
Cummings joined, and Yang Jian witnessed history. He also joined the SuperSonics in a parallel world. Buck's joining changed history. Originally, he chose the Knicks, but now he believes that the SuperSonics are much stronger and the Knicks cannot win.
Overall championship.
Both of them are at the end of their careers and have declining athletic ability. They have rich game experience and can provide some help to the team. With the addition of Osela Harrington, the No. 28 pick in the first round, the SuperSonics have no shortage of insiders.
The team also signed a shooting guard to serve as a substitute for Yang Jian, Greg Graham, who is 193cm tall. He was the 17th pick in the first round of 1993. He was about to be unable to play, so he joined with a minimum salary.
Yang Jian added two points to his mental attributes, totaling 66 points. He is still getting stronger...
