Chapter 347 [Counter-attack war, vicious circle]

Yang Jian went to training in the morning and learned that she was on the entertainment news again.

Some paparazzi knew which hotel the Sonics player was staying in and were staring at him at the door. As a result, the paparazzi didn't take a picture of the beautiful woman, but they did take a picture of two handsome guys walking out of the hotel together.

Tobey Maguire, who is 170cm tall, is thin and small behind them. He looks too slim and is ignored. Many people care about Leonardo's peak appearance. Going to the hotel to find Yang Jian makes people curious about them.

relationship.

Some fujoshi fans are imagining, is Yang planning to eat both men and women? Otherwise, he is usually in Seattle, where would he have friends in Los Angeles?

Of course, what most people care about is NBA basketball games.

On December 6, the Lakers vs. SuperSonics was another live game across the United States, full of gimmicks.

People want to know whether Shaquille O'Neal can really restrain the Sonics and whether he can defeat the Sonics' inside line. People also want to know whether the Sonics can continue their winning streak and how many consecutive victories they will achieve.

Drew Barrymore will not be attending the Sonics game because today is also the day when the movie "Everybody Says I Love You" is officially released. The two of them are busy with work and have a very fulfilling life.

When the SuperSonics players came on the stage, many Los Angeles fans gave Yang Jian applause.

During the live broadcast of the game on cctv5, Sun Zhengping said: "Los Angeles fans are relatively friendly, unlike New York fans who booed Yang Jian the whole game. The Hornets fans also booed him very hard."

Zhang Lili said with a smile: "If you boo him hard, there is a risk of being beaten up by him, so it's better to give him some applause."

Yang Jian's character has been seen through. When the boos get louder, he will indeed play more energetically and will want to produce better data to prove himself. If he produces good data in Los Angeles, he can also attract more people's attention.

When coming out, Yang Jian greeted O'Neal.

They are more comfortable with each other. Of course, they are on different teams during the game, so they will definitely not show mercy. O'Neal is going to show off his power today. The Sonics do not have a tank center, which is very suitable for him to perform.

Kobe looked at Yang Jian with sharp eyes, and seemed to be ready to show off his skills in the game. Yang Jian smiled at him, he knew him in the summer league, and he would be a good opponent in the future.

However, at present, Kobe can only serve as a substitute for Eddie Jones and Ceballos. It is not known whether he will have the opportunity to play against Yang Jian. The butterfly effect has caused his status in the team to be even lower.

In a parallel world, because of the conflict between Kobe and Ceballos, Lakers manager Jerry West made a trade after only 8 games. The Lakers sent Ceballos and Rumel Robinson and acquired Robert Horace from the Suns.

Li and Joe Klein strengthened the inside line.

Now that Ceballos is still with the Lakers, West wants to trade but has not chosen the right team.

West is actively looking for trade partners, and no team interested in Ceballos has provided suitable chips. The Suns are only willing to send junk contracts and outside players. They do not have power forward Robert Horry on the team because Buck

Leigh did not transfer to the Rockets.

The Rockets are unwilling to send Horry and are not interested in Ceballos. The Rockets' worst position right now is the 4th position. How can they trade away the team's starting power forward and replace him with a swingman? With such a trade, the Rockets probably will not be able to move him.

They couldn't even make the playoffs this season.

The Lakers also wanted Suns insider Ac Green, but he was also rejected. The Suns manager felt that Ac Green was a well-known iron man in the league and could be used as a bargaining chip in exchange for better players. A player like Ceballos who can only score is a bit unique.

After joining, he still doesn’t have much ball rights.

With Barkley still in the Suns, they don't need another point of attack with the ball. Should they send away the inside line and let Barkley defend the penalty area as a blue collar? When the time comes, Barkley doesn't say anything, and the fans are angry.

The current situation is completely different from what Kobe imagined when he first entered the league, which makes him a little anxious. In order to prove himself, he always takes crazy shots as soon as he comes on the court. Coach Del Harris feels that Kobe's personality is too rough and his style of play is too unique.

The reluctance to reuse him created a vicious cycle.

After both sides warm up, the game is about to begin.

SuperSonics starting lineup: Payton, Yang Jian, Schrempf, Kemp, Buck Williams.

Lakers starting lineup: Van Exel, Eddie Jones, Ceballos, Eldon Campbell, O'Neal.

Looking at the lineup, you can tell that the two teams have to fight for offense. The Lakers do not have an orthodox power forward, so they can only use two heavy inside players to play the twin-tower strategy. The Lakers are not very effective in defending the pick-and-roll. Unless they are traded, this weakness cannot be made up for.

O'Neal won the jump ball and the game began.

Eddie Jones lobbed a low ball to O'Neal from the right side and ran to the right corner. Ceballos was at 70 degrees on the right side, and the three formed a triangle.

Without "Zen Master" Phil Jackson, the Lakers are playing a routine similar to the triangle offense. With O'Neal, they have to play like this. He has great one-on-one ability.

O'Neal singled out Williams, who was 203cm tall and weighed 100 kilograms, like an adult hitting a child. The difference in height and weight was too big. He pushed Williams twice with his back and knocked him to the ground, then turned around and smashed the ball with one hand.

Go in! 0 to 2.

Zhang Lili lamented: "The biggest problem with the SuperSonics lineup is the center. No one weighs more than 110 kilograms and no one is taller than 210cm. They can't resist centers like O'Neal. It is estimated that Campbell will not be able to defend against them."

Sun Zhengping said: "This is the style of the SuperSonics. Let's look at the offense."

In the middle, Payton and Kemp played a pick-and-roll, which attracted Campbell to help defend and go to the right. He hit the ground and passed the ball to Yang Jian, who ran along the baseline and ran to the right corner. An opportunity immediately appeared.

When O'Neal encounters a screen, he will not help defend defenders who run to the outside. He only moves around the penalty area, waiting for the opponent to attack the basket and protect the penalty area. His defensive role in the penalty area is very obvious. Going to the outside will appear a bit cumbersome and easy to be passed.

Yang Jian caught the ball and took a shot. Eddie Jones jumped up to block the shot. He didn't block it, but it had an interference effect and the ball bounced out of the frame.

O'Neal grabbed the backcourt rebound and passed it to Van Exel, who immediately launched a counterattack and passed it to Ceballos.

Ceballos was also very fast. He received the ball and passed Schrempf in a different direction, and made a quick layup before Kemp's defense. 0 to 4.

When the SuperSonics attacked, Yang Jian feinted with the ball on the right baseline. This time he did not directly take the shot and changed direction to the left. Kemp went to 45 degrees to cover him again. Yang Jian got rid of Eddie Jones with the ball and relied on speed again.

One step past the assisting defender Campbell.

Yang Jian drove to the basket and attracted O'Neal to cover up.

Yang Jian jumped up in the middle, half-turned with his right hand and gently sent the ball to the left baseline. With a trick, Williams received the pass and easily scored a layup in one step. 2 to 4.

Sun Zhengping said: "Yang Jian has started to perform. The Lakers have a twin-tower lineup, and it is difficult to prevent him from breaking through if he is mismatched."

Zhang Lili said: "This is how Yang Jian should be played in the SuperSonics position battle. No team has ever defended him. However, it is also difficult for the SuperSonics to defend the penalty area. It was not easy to fight today."

As soon as he finished speaking, O'Neal caught the ball with his back again. Williams couldn't resist it and hugged O'Neal with both hands to pull the ball for a foul.

Williams doesn't have to try to withstand the defense. It's impossible for Williams to withstand the weight. The three major centers can't withstand O'Neal one-on-one, let alone him?

O'Neal went to the free throw line, took aim for a while and then shot with one hand. He embarrassingly missed two free throws and Kemp picked up the rebound.

All teams know that O'Neal's weakness is his inaccurate free throws. Sonics players can't resist him and commit fouls. If he can't make free throws, it will have a defensive effect. If O'Neal takes a lot of shots, such defense can cut off the connection between him and his teammates.

, no need to double-team every round.

When the SuperSonics attacked, Yang Jian ran up the right baseline. Under Camp's cover, he received the pass at 70 degrees outside the right three-point line. Campbell immediately switched out, and Jones also pursued and double-teamed.

.

Yang Jian quickly dribbled the ball to the center and changed direction, found an opening and passed the ball to Kemp on the right baseline. The tactic arranged by George Karl was to let Kemp open, try not to challenge O'Neal in the penalty area, and use an open mid-range shot to solve the problem.

Question. If O'Neal is guarded, Kemp will dribble to find space and pass to the inside teammate on the other side.

The Sonics conducted targeted training in the morning. Kemp caught the ball and shot the jump shot very resolutely. O'Neal only stepped forward and stretched out his hand to interfere slightly, but it was ineffective. The ball went in. 4 to 4.
