On the 10th, the SuperSonics played back-to-back away games against the Spurs.
This was supposed to be the highlight of the Western Conference, but the Spurs' star center David Robinson was seriously injured and was absent, making the game one-sided.
At the beginning, the Spurs only achieved a record of 1 win and 4 losses, and were uncompetitive.
Without the "Admiral", the Spurs' starting center is 208cm blue-collar Greg Anderson. This man was a marginal player in the Spurs last season, averaging 1.2 points and 2.2 rebounds per game. This guy can become a starter, the Spurs' 5
The number position is definitely the worst in the league!
The Spurs' starting power forward is actually "the essence of human movies" Dominic Wilkins. He has always been the main small forward, but after joining the Spurs, he was forced to guest power forward and participate in internal combat.
He really... asked for it.
In the summer of 1995, out of dissatisfaction with his status and treatment with the Boston Celtics, Wilkins went to Europe and signed a low-paying contract with the Greek powerhouse Panathinaikos.
No one can understand his operation, because he has never won an NBA championship, and has never even played in the finals. At the end of his career, he went to play in Europe instead of taking a salary cut to join a strong NBA team.
, hugging his legs to win the championship.
Wilkins was full of honors in Europe last season, helping the team win the Greek Cup and the European League championship and winning two Finals MVPs, Final Four MVPs, Finals scoring champion and All-Star Game MVP. But he
No matter how many honors he has in Europe, the fans will not pay attention to him. They just think that this person is unwilling to make progress and has gone to a low-level league to abuse others.
Before the start of this season, Wilkins returned to the NBA and signed as a free agent with the Spurs, who were in urgent need of strengthening their lineup. He received a basic salary of US$250,000. I have to say that this is another incomprehensible statement.
Decide, what does he want?
As a free agent, Wilkins could choose any team he wanted, but he chose the Spurs, who had no hope of winning the championship at first glance. What was he doing? As a result, he became the team's mainstay and top scorer this season.
In this game, Sean Kemp became the protagonist on the court. He and Yang Jian played a pick-and-roll and then caught the ball and hit the basket. No one could guard him. He played 32 minutes, making 10 of 13 shots and 9 of 10 free throws.
, scored 29 points and 13 rebounds.
Yang Jian worked hard on the defensive end and still ended the battle in just three quarters. In the end, the SuperSonics won 111 to 75.
He played 30 minutes and scored 23 points, 3 rebounds, 11 assists and 2 steals. The fans were very disappointed because his 30-consecutive record was broken, and 23 points seemed like an abnormal performance for him.
His teammates all had good shooting opportunities, but Yang Jian was too embarrassed to finish his shots. After attracting the defense, he passed the ball to his teammates to shoot. The hit rate was super high, and 6 people in the team scored in double figures.
Schrempf made 7 of 10 shots, 2 of 3 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 18 points and 6 rebounds, easily beating his opponent Sean Elliott.
Avery Johnson, the Spurs' top scorer, only had 15 points and 7 assists, which was not as good as Payton's 17 points and 8 assists.
Yang Jian defended the white shooting guard Vinnie Denagro, but the opponent only scored 11 points and made 0 of 6 shots from the three-point line. He didn't force the ball at all, he just stepped forward and stretched out his hand casually when someone was about to shoot.
If you can defend against it, you can only say that the opponent is too useless.
Wilkins' performance was also poor, making 5 of 14 shots, 0 of 3 three-pointers, 2 of 5 free throws, and only had 12 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists.
On the defensive end, Wilkins had to switch to guard Yang Jian after encountering a pick-and-roll, otherwise Yang Jian could easily break through.
Today's duel between the two No. 21 stars presented the best of a human movie. When Wilkins was shaken to the ground by Yang Jian, his fans thought it was a tragic movie.
SuperSonics fans were not happy to see their team win, because they wanted to see Yang Jian score points. Zhang Heyi sighed when explaining: "The biggest enemy of Yang Jian scoring high points is garbage time."
If the team is too strong, garbage time will easily occur. The SuperSonics can easily defeat all opponents in the Western Conference this season and will not feel the pressure at all. If they continue to play like this, the SuperSonics will almost certainly be able to break the regular season record.
The SuperSonics started with six consecutive wins and won consecutive games on the first four weeks, leading the record list with the Bulls' record. 23vs21 was promoted again, and Yang Jian secured the Player of the Week award with an absolute advantage, beating Jordan.
The Sonics' next opponent is the underdog Clippers, and the players also got two days of rest. Obviously they have booked a seventh consecutive victory and can relax a bit.
The Sonics team arrived in Los Angeles and checked into the hotel. Yang Jian immediately called Drew Barrymore. After a while, the two met in the hotel room.
The two of them did business first, and then talked about business.
Barrymore was in a particularly good mood and said with a smile: "You are so great. You will never imagine how much attention our movie has received because of you. Universal is preparing to increase its publicity efforts, and we should release a trailer next."
Already."
Yang Jian himself is the best publicity. Fans all know that he played the leading role in a love movie. Moreover, many fans of "Friends" are also paying attention to his movie. There must be many people entering the theater when it is released.
His guest appearance in the TV series proved that he has acting skills and a sense of humor. Many people want to see if he can perform better as a protagonist.
"Will it be released on Valentine's Day next year?" Yang Jian is looking forward to this movie. This is really his role, not like Wang Duoyu teaching potions at Hogwarts.
"Absolutely. The only question now is the soundtrack. Are you sure you want to use your own original music?" Barrymore said with a smile.
Currently, only one theme song has been confirmed for the movie, "Wouldn't It Benice" by the Beach Boys.
The Beach Boys were an American psychedelic rock band in the 1960s. On May 16, 1966, they released the album "petsounds" and became popular. In 1993, "petsounds" ranked first in the "Times Top 100 Albums" ranking.
The band still maintains a high level of popularity.
This song "Wouldn't It Benice" is their masterpiece. It was a hit in the 1960s and is still timeless in the 21st century. The music style is extremely cheerful. Barrymore thinks that Yang Jian's suggestion to use this song as the theme song is a stroke of genius, but he is not optimistic about his original work.
Music without any expectations.
You, a basketball star, play original pure music? Are you kidding me? How could you be better at writing music than professionals?
Barrymore knew that Yang Jian could play the piano very well and understood music theory, but when it came to creating a good piece of music, even a professional music student might not be able to produce a masterpiece in his lifetime.
"There are three versions of my original music, and you have to participate in one of them." Yang Jian said confidently: "There is no piano here, so I will play it for you on the guitar."
Barrymore was stunned. "When did you learn to play the guitar?"
"After filming, I practiced playing at home. It was quite easy." Yang Jian took out the Fender acoustic guitar she brought with her.
The name of the guitar brand is real, not the orange juice drink. In the past 50 years, Fender has become one of the American icons and a famous brand.
"Well, you can even practice the piano so well, so you must have no problem playing the guitar." Barrymore sat next to Yang Jian with a little distance, holding his chin and listening attentively.
Although she doesn't know any musical instruments, she also knows that the guitar is much easier to learn than the piano. It will definitely be easy for someone with a genius like Yang Jian to learn.
This is indeed the case. Yang Jian did not need to develop his talent in playing the guitar. He has achieved a very high level after practicing for more than a month. The instruments are all connected, and he has a strong sense of music.
Many people think that piano music is more difficult because it uses five-line notation, while guitar learning for beginners requires six-line notation. Compared with five-line notation, six-line notation is really very simple. So many people think that guitar can be learned by oneself.
It is difficult to learn piano by yourself.
There are many styles of guitar, including folk singing, fingerstyle, classical, electro-acoustic, etc. The styles are different and the results pursued are different. It is easier to learn the guitar at an elementary level than to practice the piano. Yang Jian is not self-taught, he is an eight-year-old.
I took the time to take classes for a week, two hours each time, and I made rapid progress.
Yang Jian played the guitar with her fingers, and as soon as the music started playing, Barrymore was shocked. The piece was soothing and short, and she felt it was very pleasant the first time she heard it.
After Yang Jian finished playing, Barrymore covered his mouth with one hand for a while, took a deep breath and asked: "Is this really your original work? What's its name?"
