Coach Wilkens replaced forward Willie Burton as a guest at the 4th position, leaving only Laettner as a big man on the court, and asked the players to double-team Yang Jian resolutely.
He didn't know whether double-teaming would work, but he knew that Yang Jian would keep taking shots and would not pass the ball to assist his teammates. This kid is not a selfless player at all. He especially likes data. A truly selfless person is
It's impossible to become the boss of the Sonics in his rookie season.
After the out-of-bounds ball was sent, Yang Jian was flanked by the ball from the outside and was unable to break through, so he passed the ball to Schrempf.
Seeing that the attack time was about to come, the latter missed an open jumper. Yang Jian made a cut to grab the offensive rebound, but failed to grab it. His height of 193cm has no advantage in grabbing rebounds. If he insists on grabbing rebounds, he must become a cancer. He is in
It is impossible for the team to be the head coach. The SuperSonics team is not like the Chinese men's basketball team, and the teammates can take on more tasks.
When the Hawks attacked, Yang Jian retreated further back, ready to grab backcourt rebounds at any time. Steve Smith made another mid-range shot, but the defense he faced was too lax. 121 to 104.
Smith's previous career-high single-game score was 37 points, which he scored against the Suns the previous season. Today he has already scored 35 points. He is expected to hit 40, but he is not happy. His opponent scored twice as many points as him.
Smith is eager to restrict Yang Jian, but his physical strength has declined and it is becoming more and more difficult to defend, so he can only rely on the help of his teammates.
This time Yang Jian caught the ball as soon as the half was passed. Schrempf and Harrington were both covering him from the outside. He quickly took two steps to get rid of Smith. Without waiting for the attack, he grabbed the ball one meter outside the three-point line in the middle.
Shoot a three-pointer.
Yang Jian likes to shoot from this distance, everyone is used to it, and his opponents are also on guard.
Willie Burton almost blocked the shot when he was on defense. After Yang Jian took the shot, he jumped over and hit him. The referee did not call a foul, but the ball went in! 124 to 104.
The SuperSonics fans at the scene cheered wildly and were unwilling to sit down for a long time. This was the most exciting game they had ever seen. Many people planned to collect the ticket stubs as souvenirs so that they could tell others that they were there at that time in the future.
Now that Yang Jian is far more popular than Kemp, the Sonics no longer need Kemp to attract fans.
Zhang Lijia shouted: "Yang Jian scored another three-pointer. It was his eighth three-pointer in the game. He scored 65 points."
Sun Zhengping said: "The Eagles players defended very hard, and double teams were ineffective. The point difference has widened to 20 points, and it is almost impossible for the Eagles to reverse and win."
Zhang Lijia smiled and said: "I think Nike can't wait to launch the God of War II. After this game, his sneaker sales will definitely increase again."
Players must score high points and lead the team to win in order to receive praise, otherwise there may be controversy over data manipulation. Yang Jian is sure to win this game and will definitely shock the United States after the game.
There was also something wrong with the mentality of the Hawks players. Smith was eager to chase points and chose to shoot a three-pointer. As a result, Yang Jian left him alone and he did not make the shot.
Yang Jian grabbed the rebound in the backcourt and quickly advanced to the frontcourt with the ball to launch a counterattack. This style of play is difficult for the Eagles to double-team, even if they let go of the person they are defending. They are not as fast as Yang Jian.
Yang Jian changed direction while running and easily passed Smith, who was slowing down as his physical strength declined, and then used a behind-the-back dribble to pass Teilon, who was defending.
Schrempf was left open, and Yang Jian did not pass the ball. He moved one meter outside the 70-degree three-point line on the left and faced Blaylock and shot a three-pointer. Blaylock also left Payton open to cover, but jumped up and missed.
Can't cover it.
Yang Jian's shooting movements and rhythm were perfect. He was still full of energy until the end of the game. This is incomparable to ordinary players, and it is also the basis for his ability to score super high scores. He ignored interference and the ball went hollow into the net! 127 to 104.
After scoring the goal, Yang Jian clenched his fists and roared, instantly igniting the audience. He no longer planned to hit the shot, he just wanted to shout.
Sun Zhengping said excitedly: "He has 68 points. He is only one goal away from scoring 70. There are only 5 and a half minutes left in the game. There is no way the Eagles can stop him."
Zhang Lili sighed: "Up to this point, Yang Jian still maintains a terrifying scoring efficiency. He must have scored 20 points in a single quarter like this, and his hands are too hot. He is only one point away from Jordan's career single-game scoring record."
Sun Zhengping said: "He also rested for 6 minutes in the second quarter, and his total playing time was less than 40 minutes. Without resting, he may have broken the record. This is the strongest individual performance in the NBA in the past 20 years."
Chinese fans all agreed with the commentator that Yang Jian's scoring efficiency in this game was indeed higher than when Jordan scored 69 points. Moreover, Yang Jian's offensive methods were richer. 21 of Jordan's high scores were free throws.
And played overtime.
Breaking the record is not that easy. The Hawks players all tried to stop Yang Jian. They left others open and tried every means to interfere with Yang Jian's breakthrough and shooting.
In the next three rounds, Yang Jian forced three consecutive shots that missed under severe interference, two three-point attempts, and one breakthrough throw.
Although it is extremely difficult for him to take a shot, he does not consider passing the ball to an open teammate at all. He just gets the ball. He knows what he wants, and when he thinks about it, he will complete it, no matter what difficulties he faces.
As long as you are determined enough (ifyoureallywantit) and as long as you are brave enough (justdoit), you will always get what you want.
He won't miss this opportunity. Once he misses it, he doesn't know when he will wait until next time.
Maybe a month, maybe a year, maybe several years.
Even he dare not say that he can score 70 many times in his life. At this time, even if the coach wants to replace him and take a rest, he will refuse. If the coach dares to make such an arrangement, then he is his enemy.
Of course, George Karl is not a second grader, and he is not Stephen Curry. As long as he doesn't get 70 today, he will play until the end even in garbage time.
He's not afraid of being questioned about swiping data, so what if I just swiped it? Others can't swipe it if they want to!
In these rounds, the Sonics did not gain nothing. The short inside man Buck Williams grabbed an offensive rebound and scored 2 points in the second attack.
For the Hawks, Laettner and Smith each scored two points. Smith tied his personal single-game scoring record with 37 points.
Then, Payton made a mistake while dribbling across half court, and was successfully intercepted by Blaylock. Blaylock succeeded in a fast break layup, 129 to 110.
During the SuperSonics offense, Schrempf made another mistake when he passed the ball to Yang Jian. The force of his pass was a bit strong, and Yang Jian did not reach the right position and knocked the ball out of the sideline with one hand.
When the Hawks attacked, Blaylock relied on a screen to get rid of Payton. He held the ball and tried to pass Williams. His attention was on the front. He had just made a cross step and before he could change direction, Payton bypassed the screen and chased after him.
A sneak attack from behind knocked the basketball away.
Yang Jian took one look at the situation and immediately started a fast break on the right side. Harrington picked up the basketball and passed it to Schrempf on the left side.
Schrempf dribbled the ball to the center and advanced to the frontcourt, passing the ball accurately to Yang Jian on the right. Yang Jian did not hesitate from outside the 60-degree three-point line. He caught the ball and threw it, hitting Smith.
Three points. 132 to 110.
Smith just stretched out his hand, and there was nothing he could do if his jump was slow. Others couldn't double-team because it was a shot in a quick transition between offense and defense.
Snow danced on the sidelines and took the lead in livening up the atmosphere.
After this goal, George Karl replaced all the main players on the field and stopped playing.
All the fans applauded Yang Jian, and he put his hands to his ears to celebrate.
Zhang Lijia sighed: "Record-breaking, Yang Jian became the youngest 70-point winner in NBA history. He scored 71 points, not only surpassing Jordan, but also tying David Robinson."
Sun Zhengping said: "Yang Jian did not take many shots. He played 40 minutes and made 26 of 38 shots, 10 of 17 three-pointers, 9 of 9 free throws, and scored 71 points, 5 rebounds, 12 assists and 2 steals."
Zhang Lili said: "In the first half, he only scored 21 points and provided 12 assists. In the second half, he focused on scoring and scored 50 points without assists. He can leave Jordan far behind in the scoring list in this game, and there is a high probability that he will win the scoring title.
"
Sun Zhengping smiled and said: "Yes, he can score two games in this game. In the game that ended today, Jordan led the team to defeat the Grizzlies and achieved three consecutive victories, but the opponent was too weak and he played for a short time, so he had to
It’s 22 minutes.”
The substitutes of both sides battled for two minutes. At the end, 134 to 117, the SuperSonics easily defeated the Hawks with 17 points.
