Yang Jian sat on the sidelines as a spectator and added attribute points to his spirit, for a total of 71 points.
His performance today once again proved the importance of mental attributes. Even if he doesn't shoot in the whole game, he can still play an role on the court, watching all directions and listening to all directions.
This season, he no longer relies on the buff of big jump shots, and has reduced the number of mid-range shots. His big-hearted talent has not yet been used, and he can easily win every game.
When Yang Jian watches the substitutes play, he can always see a lot of gaps and discover their shortcomings.
He felt that his teammates on the bench had too many shortcomings and were extremely weak. They were slow, had poor confrontation, and did not release the ball fast enough. They did not hesitate to shoot, but unfortunately they were not accurate.
He didn't see anything last season, and now he feels that way because he is already a player on another level.
Point guard Mookie Norris cannot play a big role this season. He is always very excited after coming on the court and cannot perform to the same level as in training. He has the speed advantage to break through, but unfortunately his passing awareness is poor and he can't find his teammates when he breaks in.
.
In a parallel world, Norris likes to pass the ball to Yao Ming, probably because Yao Ming has the biggest target and is the easiest to find.
When Snow is organizing with the ball, Norris especially likes to run without the ball and go straight to the basket. Snow passes the ball to him, and he is often blocked. It seems that the offensive opportunity is good, but Norris can't turn and is too short.
Already.
His registered height when he was drafted was 185cm, but he actually wore shoes up to 180cm, making him the shortest person on the team.
How to help Norris solve his psychological problem is what the coaching staff needs to consider, and Yang Jian can't help. He just feels that this guy is very lucky. He won the championship with the SuperSonics. Even if he is guarding the water cooler, he will be able to find a job in the future.
Booutero's defense is as good as ever, but if he can't attack well, he can be left open from the outside. He has been practicing shooting in the team, but he can't guarantee his accuracy, so he definitely has no talent.
Booutello is about to become an important rotation player for the Sonics, and he will play a greater role than veteran Craig Elu.
The coaching staff gradually lost patience with Elu and planned to let him be a marginal player at the 3rd position. Elu is a defensive slot when he comes on the field. His strengths are catching and shooting and organizing passes. When it is necessary to ensure defense in the playoffs, he will
There are no opportunities to play.
The management will not lay off Elu, he can teach the new players game experience in the team. He also has a good temper, has a good relationship with all his teammates, and does not mind significantly reducing his playing time. He will not play in garbage time.
Now, the team is training young Booutero.
Yang Jian's die-hard younger brothers in the team are Snow and Osela Harrington. Regarding the playing style of these two people, Yang Jian can give some suggestions. The two of them cooperated well in the final quarter, using screening and air-cutting tactics.
Typed out.
Veteran power forward Terry Cummings performed the best, and his tactical role was obvious. His mid-range shot was relatively reliable, and although he was thinner, his rebounding efficiency on the defensive end was not low.
The SuperSonics' full bench also forced the Warriors to play off the bench, with Sam Perkins resting. The final score was 141 to 101, with the SuperSonics winning by 40 points.
Six members of the Sonics team scored in double figures. Cummings only played 15 minutes and made 5 of 7 shots. He efficiently scored 10 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist.
Snow performed very well, scoring 7 points and 4 assists in 14 minutes.
The Warriors players were rather embarrassed. Sprewell performed best, scoring 31 points and 7 assists. Yang Jian's defense was poor, and he only scored the same as the opponent.
Chris Mullin scored 16 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, and made 7 turnovers. Mark Price allowed Payton to score the highest score in his career, and he scored 16 points, 5 assists, and zero fouls.
The Warriors' outside perimeter was crushed, and the Sonics had not yet resorted to a sure-fire move, allowing Yang Jian to defend the point guard, which would be more deadly during counterattacks. When they enter the playoffs, they will encounter a fast point guard, George Karl.
Will consider letting Yang Jian and Payton switch defenses.
When the buzzer sounded at the end of the game, Yang Jian and Payton walked to the court and waved to the fans, enjoying the applause and cheers, and then returned to the locker room side by side.
Zhang Lili sighed: "Yang Jian has now completely conquered American fans. He is the most popular Chinese in the world. Bruce Lee did not have such a big influence before."
Sun Zhengping said: "Bruce Lee introduced the world to Chinese martial arts and was an excellent actor. Yang Jian allowed the world to see how powerful the Chinese people are. He is a superman."
Zhang Lijia smiled and said: "If he played the whole game, I estimate that he could score 3030 today. This performance now is because the Warriors lost too quickly."
Sun Zhengping said: "This data is not worse than the 7,010 points in the game. About 80 points in the team are directly related to him. Our frontline reporter has gone to Seattle to interview him. I don't know what he will say today. Is he still so high-profile?
.”
Zhang Lijia shook his head. "I don't think he can be more high-profile. He said everything he should and shouldn't say after the game."
Chinese culture places great emphasis on modesty and low-key thinking. People like Yang Jian are absolutely different, but they make Chinese fans feel very happy.
At the same time, Chinese fans are also a little worried that Yang Jian is too high-profile. If his strength declines in the future, he will be questioned even more and he will fall hard. In the era before online games, they did not understand what "cheating" is. Yang Jian
He always dares to speak, and he believes that as long as his strength does not decline in the long term, that will be enough.
Reporters from many places came to Seattle, preparing to interview Yang Jian after the game.
Yang Jian did not disappoint the reporters. His performance was as explosive as in the last game and full of tricks. The number one in the assist list in the new season is a shooting guard, which is the first time in NBA history.
Back in the locker room, when everyone congratulated Yang Jian, he had a suggestion. "Gary feels much better in shooting today. If anyone is in great shape during training in the future and wants to take more shots to score the highest score in his career, I said in the locker room before the game."
One sound. We will pass the ball to you. If you play well, pass the ball more."
Payton immediately agreed. "Yes, everyone is striving to set career highs this season."
Yang Jian smiled and added: "Of course, we have to do this on the premise of winning. If we don't play well enough, we have to adjust. I believe we can play well because we are the best team."
The young players were very excited after hearing this and clapped vigorously. The veterans' performance was relatively dull. They did not have the physical strength and ability to improve their statistics.
Coach George Karl was stunned when he heard this. He didn't know that this method could be used to boost morale and make the locker room more united.
It stands to reason that players have made it clear that racking up statistics will hurt the team's morale. This is not the case with the Sonics, because they can rack up statistics while ensuring they win.
In the eyes of other players, Yang Jian's proposal is very selfless and he is willing to share the ball with them. This is a boss who is willing to help them improve. With data, it is possible to receive high salaries in the future.
In fact, Yang Jian's starting point was selfish, because he found a shortcut to obtain attribute points, which made him more excited than brushing up data.
He helped his star teammates create career scoring and assist records. How cool would it be if he broke a record for one attribute point? Moreover, the career high scores of his star teammates are not very high. Kemp had 42 points, Schrempf had 36 points, and Payton
With a score of 45, there is still room for improvement.
As long as Yang Jian "calculates correctly" and doesn't help them improve too much at one time, they can improve several times.
When he plays like this, he just scores less points and passes more passes to his teammates. It's very difficult for role players to improve their statistics, that's all. If they really want to, the coach won't allow them and won't give them too many appearances.
time.
Moreover, now Yang Jian has a new goal. Winning the scoring title alone cannot satisfy his appetite. He realizes that he can also compete for the assists title and steals title.
If he ranks first in the league in three statistics this season, he will definitely be unanimously elected as MVP, and no one can compete with him. This kind of thing has never happened in the NBA, and he will create a landmark record.
Archibald averaged 34 points and 11.4 assists per game in the 1972-73 season, and won the scoring and assist titles at the same time! However, the Kings he led only had 36 wins and 46 losses and failed to enter the playoffs that year.
Cut empty.
As long as Yang Jian obtains luxurious statistics and leads the team to successfully defend the title, his momentum this season will completely surpass Jordan's, and the establishment of a dynasty next season is basically a certainty.
