Chapter 354 [The era of supersonic speed is coming! 】
When the SuperSonics played against the Hornets at home, Yang Jian had another "bodyguard" beside him.
Ben Wallace and Osella Harrington became his right and left guardians, and people felt very oppressive at first glance. These two people are not very tall, but they are both very strong.
The court is like a battlefield, and newcomers like to follow leaders, because they feel that they can become stronger in this way. No one can match Yang Jian's charm in the SuperSonics. As long as you often watch him play, you will know that it is easy to have a good relationship with him inside."
Eat cake".
The Hornets' starting shooting guard Hersey Hawkins has not returned yet, and Dell Curry is once again defending Yang Jian. As you can imagine, Curry almost cried.
Why does he have to suffer this kind of torture? He has a hard time chasing and defending. When Yang Jian counterattacks, he is passed without fouling. Yang Jian doesn't even need to European step to beat Curry. He pulls the ball in a different direction and directly uses his strength to crush it.
basket.
Yang Jian played only 31 minutes in the game and did not take many shots. He made 8 of 12 shots, 3 of 6 three-pointers, and 5 of 5 free throws. He scored 24 points, 3 rebounds, 14 assists, and 2 steals.
The opponent actively double-teamed Yang Jian, and Kemp also showed his strength after he distributed the ball. "Rain Man" made 9 of 12 shots, 10 of 11 free throws, and scored 28 points and 10 rebounds. When Anthony Mason went out to defend the pick-and-roll, he only relied on Divac.
One person cannot guard the restricted area.
The shooting percentage of the two was so high that the Hornets were unable to resist, and the first half was actually garbage time.
Six members of the SuperSonics team scored in double figures, beating the Hornets 127-88, and the stars clocked out early.
The Hornets have only nine players in the rotation and are troubled by injuries. The Hornets management is not easy to recruit, and the team is not attractive to outstanding free agents. It can only sign those who have no strength and have been eliminated by the league.
Ben Wallace got a chance to play in garbage time and served as center. His performance was very eye-catching, scoring 2 points, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks in a single quarter, and grabbed two offensive rebounds.
In the final quarter, the Hornets' substitute center George Zidek, who is 213cm tall, seemed to have an obvious advantage. As a result, he was unable to enter the penalty area due to Ben Wallace's resistance, and all his statistics for 5 minutes were zero.
Because of his big budget, Harrington also played hard in garbage time, fearing that he would be robbed of his position. As a result, the two teamed up to defend the penalty area. Snow's defense on the outside was also very good. The Hornets only scored 12 points in a single quarter.
point.
Kenny Smith also made an immediate impact. He can organize offense in the final quarter and can also catch and shoot. Together with Craig Elu, there are three players on the SuperSonics court who are good at passing the ball. Harrington also has some low-post offensive abilities.
, the bench lineup is better than the Hornets in every aspect.
After the game, many media published news lamenting that the Sonics had gone crazy and were too strong.
"Under the leadership of Yang Jian, the Sonics seem to be losing at all. Whoever can give them their first defeat is a matter of honor. So the question is, who can stop the Sonics from defending their title?"
"Yang Jian once again proved with his actions that he is the MVP of this season and he is unstoppable!"
Next, the Nets, Rockets, Bucks and other opponents lost to the SuperSonics. The three teams were not strong, and the SuperSonics easily won 24 consecutive victories!
Anyone played by the Sonics this season feels like a loser. All teams have flaws in their lineups. In comparison, the Sonics have the most reasonable lineup, and they have stars leading the team.
Barkley did not join, and the Rockets' strength is a bit worse than that of the parallel world. They are just an ordinary playoff team. Robert Horry, the starter at position 4, is too soft. As a power forward, he has been shooting from the outside and his shooting percentage is still poor.
Unstable. He is not good at rebounding, but his mobility is pretty good.
Yang Jian doesn't know if Horry can still join the Lakers. Even if he does, he won't be able to reach the heights of the parallel world.
Olajuwon is about to be 34 years old and needs his teammates to help him share the pressure inside. For this reason, the Rockets signed Kevin Willis, who is good at rebounding, in the summer. However, Willis mainly plays center, and joining the Rockets can only
Playing as a substitute. If he and Olajuwon play together, the twin tower tactics will not be easy to defend against pick-and-rolls.
The Bucks' lineup also has serious problems. Vin Baker and Sharif Rahim have overlapping positions. Together with "Big Dog" Glenn Robinson, the offensive distance of these three people is about the same, and one basketball is obviously not enough to score points.
The origin of all this is that the Grizzlies intercepted Ray Allen in the draft. The Bucks once wanted to trade with the Grizzlies, but they were rejected.
For Ray Allen, this is not a bad thing. If he joins the Bucks, it will be more uncomfortable. He will not have the ball. In the Grizzlies, Ray Allen can throw it at will, and the statistics are very beautiful. Many media say that he is like
Yang Jian.
As long as Ray Allen doesn't make a fuss about leaving, the Grizzlies will definitely build a team with him as the core in the future.
The Bucks' starting center Andrew Lang lacks strength, poor rebounding, poor shooting, and poor in all aspects. But because Raheem is not suitable to play center, he became the starter.
The Bucks' starting point guard, Sherman Douglas, was completely unqualified. He was weak on both offense and defense and was beaten by Payton.
The Bucks are in urgent need of an excellent point guard, and the Rockets are in urgent need of a power forward. The managers of the two teams thought of going together and starting trade negotiations. The Rockets are preparing to package Horry, Sam Cassell and others in exchange for the Bucks' star power forward.
Vin Baker.
The Bucks want to focus on developing the new Raheem, and it is too luxurious to let him play as a substitute.
Even if Vin Baker doesn't leave now, he will definitely leave the team in the summer. The Rockets want to trade for a star inside partner Olajuwon as soon as possible to retain the possibility of competing for the championship this season.
There is still hope for the Rockets after the trade. Without the trade, they will definitely not be able to beat the SuperSonics. Not only the SuperSonics, the Rockets are also at a disadvantage against the Jazz. While Olajuwon can still maintain his condition, the Rockets are ready to give it a try.
Once the deal is concluded, Wen Baker's path to joining the SuperSonics will be completely blocked. Yang Jian still doesn't know about this butterfly effect, and he will be very happy when the league announces the deal, because he really doesn't like Wen Baker, an alcoholic.
After Ben Wallace joined, Yang Jian felt that it didn't matter if the management just let Kemp go and didn't trade a new player. Next season, Barkley can fill the vacancy left by Kemp's departure. It would be better to trade other players. Yang Jian
It won't save the boss money.
The SuperSonics won 24 consecutive games. At this time, the Bulls led by Jordan had lost three games, with 20 wins and 3 losses.
Chicago fans are convinced. The Bulls' record of 20 wins and 3 losses is only second in the league. It's outrageous.
Yang Jian won the Player of the Week award again, having won this award five times in a single season. His scoring data dropped, and his assist data increased, with both statistics firmly ranking first in the league.
Other players can't compare with Yang Jian's statistics, let alone his record. If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely win the Player of the Month in December.
In All-Star voting, Yang Jian has always been the top vote-getter. After winning the championship last season and being the MVP this season, his popularity has completely surpassed Jordan's.
When the final results come out, he will definitely get attribute points. In a parallel world, Jordan is the vote king of this All-Star Game.
According to this trend, the number of votes between the two will be quite different in the end. Chinese fans just hate that they have no channel to vote, otherwise Yang Jian will definitely get more votes.
From 1987 to 1993, Jordan became the All-Star vote winner seven times in a row. He came back in the second half of 1995 and missed the All-Star Game. Last season, he became the All-Star vote leader again. It seems that as long as Jordan is around, there will be no
A person can surpass his popularity, now this monopoly is going to be broken.
Moreover, the media predicts that Yang Jian's final number of votes is likely to exceed two million, becoming the first player in NBA history to exceed two million votes. You must know that there is no online voting but only handwritten votes, so two million votes are very shocking.
Now many Sonics fans are looking forward to the Sonics winning 33 consecutive games and breaking the NBA's historical winning streak record. The players are in great shape and it seems possible to do so.
After the two veterans of the Sonics are absent, the two newly added players have added depth to the lineup and can play a role in every game. The SuperSonics stars are even more powerful. As long as two of them perform well in every game, they can guarantee victory.
Not only Yang Jian, but Payton and Kemp have also received a lot of All-Star votes, and it is very likely that the three of them will start together.
Many people exclaimed - the era of supersonics is coming!
