When the Eagles attacked, Mookie Blaylock played pick-and-roll with his teammates, looking for mismatched breakthrough opportunities. He used a similar method to Yang Jian to cause a defensive foul on Kemp and went to the free throw line.
Kemp also suffered five fouls and was replaced by coach George Karl. The team led by a big score, so it didn't matter that Kemp didn't play. The young player Osella Harrington got a chance to perform.
George Karl likes to give opportunities to newcomers. In his view, youth means unlimited possibilities. In a parallel world, Jr. Smith became a "nervous knife" under him, and he can play freely on the court.
Now, George Karl is performing even better. Last season, he directly promoted Yang Jian and became the core of the team. This season, he also gave Harrington and Mookie Norris some freedom. In terms of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, George Karl is first class.
Blaylock made two free throws, 112 to 96.
Blaylock's face was extremely solemn when he returned to defense. As a player known for his defensive skills, he hated seeing the opponent's star scoring high scores but he couldn't do anything about it.
He and Mutombo are both regulars on the best defensive team, but they are not suitable to defend Yang Jian. He knows that Yang Jian will definitely continue to take action. Payton stopped talking trash today and has no intention of stealing Yang Jian's limelight. .
During the SuperSonics offense, the new young player Harrington provided an off-ball screen for Yang Jian and helped him catch the ball. Yang Jian successfully got the ball from outside the three-point line on the right, and two people immediately stepped forward to double-team, leaving Harling free. pause.
Yang Jian glanced at Harrington, who was running toward the center. He held the ball in his left hand and changed direction to the right. He easily passed Steve Smith with his speed and even opened up a distance from Leinart.
Leinart did not dare to pursue too closely, and was still worried about Harrington in the middle, so he did not do a good job of double-teaming. Mutombo retreated to the basket and prepared to block the shot. Yang Jian made an emergency stop at 45 degrees outside the penalty area and jumped with all his strength. Start, take the ball with your right hand and throw it high.
He kept a distance from Mutombo, and relied on his bounce and wingspan to avoid Smith's pursuit block. He made a straight-arm throw, with a very high release point, and hit the board. 114 to 96.
This season, Yang Jian coached this move during team training. It is used to break double teams and is planned to be a special skill. It is difficult for opponents to block shots with this move, and his shooting rate is also higher than that of getting to the basket and pulling up the bar to avoid the defense. .
If he chooses to shoot outside the penalty area, it can also be judged as a mid-range shot by the system. A mid-range shot refers to a player's shot within the three-point line and outside the penalty area, regardless of whether it is a one-handed or two-handed shot.
Zhang Lili shouted: "Yang Jian scored another one and broke through the double team. He is playing casually now and has already scored 58 points."
Sun Zhengping said: "It became more and more difficult for Smith to defend Yang Jian. The Eagles did not change the main defender. At the end of the game, Yang Jian was still running and jumping like he had just started. His physical advantage was too great."
Smith has a big head and he simply doesn’t want to face Yang Jian again in his life. It’s not like he has never been beaten before. This is the first time in his life that he is as miserable as today. He feels that Yang Jian is like a robot, running tirelessly. , shooting has positioning and aiming.
Smith knew very well that Yang Jian didn't take him seriously at all and kept letting him go on the defensive end. Therefore, he had the best chance to shoot. If he wanted to get good data, he had to shoot. Knowing that doing so was in line with the opponent's wishes, he had to exploit this trap. .
Smith took the ball to his favorite position, and Yang Jian kept his distance and followed without confrontation. Smith made an emergency stop in the left corner of the penalty area and shot a jumper. Yang Jian did not jump but just stretched out his hand, and the ball went hollow into the net. 114 to 98.
This can't be said to mean that there is no defense, but it is quite easy to shoot, not much different from training.
When the SuperSonics attacked, Yang Jian first slipped to the baseline and failed to escape. He made a big circle from the left side and received Schrempf's pass in the middle with Harrington's cover.
The Eagles had three people in the high post surrounding Yang Jian. Yang Jian reacted quickly and did not dare to pause when taking the ball. He changed direction to the left at full speed and dribbled the ball through.
This was also the only breakthrough direction he could choose. His speed was too fast, and after the change, both Smith and Te'lon Corbin became pursuit defenders. Harrington provided a screen for Yang Jian to block Laettner.
Harrington is a rookie and his movements are relatively rough. Rather than being a screen, it is more like being blocked, as if he is trying to hit the ball behind his back. This kind of moving screen is likely to be called a foul, but today is the SuperSonics home court, and the referee
The foul call was very loose, and Harrington helped Yang Jian by doing this.
Yang Jian held the ball with his left hand and took two quick steps to the left baseline before stopping and shooting a fadeaway jumper. He avoided two blocks and hit the ball. 116 to 98.
Sun Zhengping sighed: "That's 60 points! The Eagles couldn't guard against double-teams, and Yang Jian scored immediately!"
Zhang Li said with a smile: "As long as he scores one more goal, he will set a new career scoring high. Last season, he became the youngest player to win 60 points in a single game in NBA history. Today he hopes to become the youngest player to win 70 games in NBA history.
"
Sun Zhengping said: "There is still a lot of time in the final quarter. It will definitely not be difficult to score another 10 points with his condition today."
The Eagles attacked, and Smith caught the ball again at his favorite position, using his height advantage to hit Yang Jian's mid-range shot. His shot was very easy, and he has scored 31 points today. 116 to 100.
During the SuperSonics offense, the Eagles defended Yang Jian even more tightly, making it difficult for him to even catch the ball.
After passing the ball several times, Yang Jian was unable to catch the ball. As the 24-second attack time was about to expire, Payton caught the ball in the middle and shot a three-point jumper. He also scored! 119 to 100.
The Hawks attacked, Blaylock took the ball across half court and passed it to Smith. His teammates also knew that this was the easiest point to score. Smith made another mid-range shot under slight interference. 119 to 102.
When the SuperSonics attacked, Yang Jian caught the ball just after half-court on the right side of the court. Two inside teammates pulled out the three-point line to cover him.
Yang Jian took the ball to the three-point line on the right side without a chance to make a move. He held the ball with his right hand and changed direction to the center. He used his speed to distance himself from Smith, passed through the gap between him and Laettner and entered the penalty area.
Harrington and Mutomboka blocked him, preventing him from getting to the basket in time. He jumped to block the shot a step too late. Yang Jian picked the basket from the middle and scored. 121 to 102.
Zhang Lili shouted: "Yang Jian has broken his personal scoring record. His speed advantage on the court is becoming more and more obvious, and he can forcefully break through when facing double teams."
Sun Zhengping said: "I feel that he is stronger than in the Olympics. In the Olympics, he faced relatively weak defenses. Now his opponents are NBA stars, including Mutombo, who has won the best defensive player."
In the 1994-95 season, Mutombo won the best defensive player in the Nuggets. But he was good at defending inside players, not a defender with the style of Yang Jian.
At this time, Smith's jumper missed a three-pointer. Mutombo's performance was too poor today and he was impatient. When he was blocked, he knocked down Harrington, a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, with an elbow. He got the offensive rebound but was called for a foul.
This was Mutombo's sixth foul, and he was sent off. Fortunately, Harrington was not injured. The elbow was on his body rather than his head. His teammates praised Harrington for his good work, and he was very happy. I have no intention of competing with my opponent.
Uncle Mu’s black elbow is no worse than Karl Malone’s, and can even rank first in NBA history. In a parallel world, according to statistics from an American media, 27 people were injured by Uncle Mu’s black elbow in official games. There were so many that there were countless who were not injured.
At this time, Yang Jian heard the system prompt tone.
"The host has witnessed history. Star player Dikembe Mutombo did not grab a rebound in the NBA game and received 1 attribute point. Mutombo's talent and skills were randomly selected - the mysterious age!"
Yang Jian quickly called up the system page and added attribute points to the spirit. A total of 69 points were about to be upgraded.
It is indeed rare for a defensive insider to have zero rebounds in a single game. And Mutombo is known for being good at rebounding. In a parallel world, he played in the NBA for 18 seasons and averaged 10.3 rebounds per game in the regular season when he retired. .
So far, there is no more successful blue-collar player in the NBA than Mutombo. He is the only player who earns tens of millions of dollars in annual salary by relying on defense. With his scoring skills, he does not help the team much on the offensive end.
When you have money, of course you have to buy and have fun, and Mutombo is no exception. Charity and other things will be a matter of the future.
Mutombo was in terrible shape today. After he got a high-paying long-term contract, he had a little too much fun during the holidays and could not find his form after the start of the game. This was a back-to-back game, and he seemed to lack physical strength. Duan was completely lost.
