Chapter 337 [It is likely to create a historical record]
After the players came off the field, George Karl praised Yang Jian and had no intention of sending Payton and Kemp out and letting them continue to sit on the bench. He felt that Yang Jian could do it. He led the team well during this period and his teammates could rest more.
.
Dave Cowens replaced Dell Curry and replaced swingman Scott Burrell. Burrell was 201cm tall and weighed 99kg. He was the No. 20 pick in the first round of 1993.
Burrell averaged 34.7 minutes per game last season, scoring 13.2 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.4 steals, reaching the peak of his career. However, he only played 20 games before being seriously injured and his condition has declined significantly since his return this season.
Cowens had no choice but to replace Burrell at this time. He saw that Curry's already slow speed had slowed down and his physical strength was too much. For several consecutive seasons, Curry generally only played about 25 minutes per game.
Physical strength is not his strong point. After Hawkins was absent, Curry's playing time increased to more than 35 minutes.
One day ago, the Hornets narrowly defeated the Pistons at home. Curry played 39 minutes and performed well. He tried his best in the last game and did not return to his best condition today. Defending Yang Jian will make him physically exhausted faster.
The further the fight goes to the end, the greater Yang Jian's physical advantage becomes.
The game continued, and coach Cowens immediately realized that he had made a mistake.
He was worried that Curry would not be able to defend well and control the ball for half the game, so he took him off the court to rest. Bogues, who was 160cm tall, continued to play on the court. As a result, Yang Jian and Snow switched defenses, and Burgess went to focus on defense.
.
This was not arranged by George Karl, but requested by Yang Jian. Snow would suffer from height disadvantages when guarding the swingman. If the opponent attacks with the ball, there may be surprises.
Sure enough, Boggs passed the ball to the new Burrell after halftime.
As the saying goes, horses often come with horses, but Burrell does not. But Burrell is not a particularly talented player, and his abilities are average.
He dribbled the ball from his hip to the right and failed to get rid of Snow. He turned his back to the opponent and turned towards the baseline to shoot a jump shot, which missed due to Snow's interference.
If Snow had just participated in the draft, he would have subconsciously felt that he was not good when he saw such a strong black man who was over two meters tall and weighed nearly 100 kilograms. But now he is full of confidence and believes that he can withstand it.
Haha, that's it? It's nothing special, his explosive power is not good.
In the team, Yang Jian often duels with Snow. Snow has been abused for more than a year, and his one-on-one defense ability is getting stronger and stronger. He is very good at anticipating and confronting when defending. Ordinary players can do it whether facing the frame or behind the back.
It's hard to get rid of him. It can be said that his current defense is like a weakened version of Payton.
After Snow got used to Yang Jian's fast-paced playing style, he felt that Burrell's shots were slow and he couldn't jump high, which was too bad.
Yang Jian retreated to grab the backcourt rebound, immediately launched a counterattack, and strode through the half court. Boggs was already afraid of his move, it was too fast, and Burrell could not change defense during the counterattack.
Can't keep up.
Boggs could only run and retreat to the three-point line to prepare for a foul. He gritted his teeth, held in his breath, and prepared to pounce directly on Yang Jian. Otherwise, he suspected that he might not be able to hold him back.
However, Yang Jian did not intend to use his physical advantage to crush Boggs for a layup. He took a position on the right side of the center and made an emergency stop jump shot one meter outside the three-point line. Boggs saw that he was about to shoot and hurriedly stepped forward to interfere. When he took off, the ball had already
Flying to the basket.
Faced with this slight interference, Yang Jian took the shot without pressure and scored another three-pointer. 103 to 91.
Drink! Yang Jian clenched his fists and roared back to defend. There were boos and applause at the scene, and the Charlotte fans were not so united.
Zhang Lijia shouted: "Yang Jian scored 51 points. This is his 8th three-pointer in the game."
Sun Zhengping said: "If it weren't for his poor touch in the third quarter, he could challenge the single-game three-point record today. Now his hands are hot and the other two members of the Supersonic Trident are resting. He alone led the team to defeat
opponent."
Zhang Liji said with a smile: "He is indeed leading the team independently. Schrempf only kept distance during this period and didn't do much to catch the ball."
Schrempf focused on the defensive end, and he was facing the core of the Hornets. Rice received the ball and made moves on the outside. He dribbled the ball under his hip, took a step-back jumper, and also hit a three-pointer.
103 to 94.
Rice has performed at the peak of his career this season, currently averaging 27 points per game. Today he quietly scored 24 points. His shortcoming is that he can only score by himself, rarely attracts double teams, and is not good at passing.
The ball assists teammates.
Rice is now in his prime, and is indeed better than Schrempf in his decline.
In the SuperSonics position battle, Snow relied on his physical advantage to dribble the ball across the half court, and Yang Jian started running. He still followed the same old path, running from the left to the right corner to receive the pass.
Burrell's movement speed is not faster than Curry's. Although he can keep up, a step slower cannot prevent Yang Jian from catching the ball.
Yang Jian did not feint, but changed direction directly to the left and entered the three-point line. He took a step back with his left foot to open up space and made a mid-range shot.
His mid-range shot drifted toward the center. Burrell jumped up with all his strength to block the shot, but he failed to block it. The ball went in!
105 to 94, personal 53rd point.
Yang Jian's mid-range shot is the most stable, he has a big jump shot buff, and his mid-range shot attribute is close to 90. He is definitely the most accurate player in the league. Even if Nowitzki enters the league, he will be tied with him at most.
He is better at creating space for shots. It is difficult for Nowitzki to get rid of the defense and he always shoots hard against people.
Aaron Miles said: "Young scored consecutively in the last quarter. He now has a chance to get a 60-digit triple-double."
Jack Carter sighed: "Scoring 20 points in a single quarter is out of reach for many players, but it is not difficult for Yang. He has found his shooting touch again."
Aaron said: "Curry, who was defending him, was exhausted. He was the one who took the most shots and played the longest time in the game, but he still had plenty of energy. His physical fitness was really amazing."
Jack laughed and said: "I've never seen him tired. Last time in the finals, he dragged Jordan so hard that he couldn't run anymore. The Hornets' substitute Burrell is obviously not good."
Coach Cowens didn't call another timeout. He didn't know how to adjust. The other point guards struggled to carry the ball through the half, so he could only choose to trust Bogues.
However, Boggs was also disappointed in this aspect. When he dribbled the ball across half-court, he encountered Yang Jian's pressing. He failed to get rid of Yang Jian when he changed direction and was pressed close to him. He couldn't get rid of it when dribbling the ball laterally and was forced
In the left corner.
If Boggs is facing an unknown person, he can fake a foul by diving during the confrontation, but it is impossible to do this against Yang Jian. The two statuses in the league are too different.
Yang Jian was not in a hurry to steal, but lowered his center of gravity to cover Boggs so that he could not break through. Boggs found an opening and passed the ball to Mason, and finally made no mistakes.
Mason brought it to the left and passed it to Divac in the low post. Divac caught the ball and turned his back to Perkins twice to turn and hook in the middle. 105 to 96.
Divac played great numbers today and is the second-highest scorer on the team, scoring 20 points.
When the SuperSonics attacked, Yang Jian moved to catch the ball again. This time Mason let Cummings double-team. Even if he allowed Cummings to take a shot, he couldn't let Yang Jian play alone again.
Yang Jian turned back and glanced at Cummings without passing the ball. He pulled the ball and took a small step towards Burrell with his right foot. Mason quickly moved sideways to "close the door". Yang Jian took another step towards Mason with his left foot.
He took a big step, used his speed to make a "leg overtake", and his body collided with Mason, losing his center of gravity and falling to the ground.
Even though this was the Hornets' home court, the referee could only blow the whistle for a foul on Mason because both of them were moving.
Yang Jian's move was no longer a European step, but a snake-like breakthrough by Ginobili. With a fake move and a sharp body tilt, as long as the opponent bumped into him at this time, he would easily lose his center of gravity, and then he would take a free throw.
If there is no physical contact between the defender and him, he will slip through the gap and break the double team for a layup.
Mason committed the sixth offense and was ejected from the game. The Hornets now lacked the power forward who is best at guarding pick-and-rolls, and were forced to replace the villain Geiger.
Taking advantage of the dead ball opportunity, George Karl also sent out Payton and Kemp, replacing Snow and Cummings.
Yang Jian made two free throws, 107 to 96, his 55th point.
Zhang Lijia sighed: "Yang Jianjian scored 60. There are still 6 minutes left in the final quarter. He may still be able to hit a triple-double."
Sun Zhengping said: "The viewers watching this live broadcast are blessed. Yang Jian is likely to set a historical record. No NBA player has ever hit 60 triple-doubles before."
