When the SuperSonics attacked, Yang Jian ran up the line from the right corner and relied on Kemp's screen to receive the pass at 70 degrees on the right side. Without making any fake move, he immediately changed direction to the middle and entered the three-point line, passing by in one step.
Stackhouse was chasing after him.
Coleman's defense blocked Yang Jian's path. He used a European step to step first with his right foot and then his left foot to open up space with Coleman, and passed a high ball to Kemp who was cutting through the air.
Kemp jumped up and scored with a right-hand alley-oop smash! 9 to 3.
Seeing the cooperation between the two, the home fans were very excited. There were also many SuperSonics fans from other places, and Seattle became recognized as the city of alley-oops.
Scott Williams defended to the basket and didn't dare to jump. If he did, he would be dunked on the background.
The 76ers attacked. Iverson broke through and was double-teamed again. He passed the ball to Stackhouse, who made a three-pointer from the exact same position as before. 9 to 6.
Most fans couldn't tell that Mingtang only felt that Yang Jian didn't defend, but the coach and teammates knew the truth. They had all seen how strong Yang Jian's defense was during training, and it was impossible for such a low-level mistake to happen.
George Karl is not angry. He is willing to help Yang Jian get better data. It is reasonable to play like this against a weak team. This is an important reason why Yang Jian likes George Karl. In other words, Yang Jian is a coach who forces stars to play team basketball.
Jane must be crazy.
In the first quarter, the SuperSonics still led 35 to 25 despite Yang Jian's efforts.
Iverson was too tough, making 0 of 5 shots, 1 of 2 free throws, scoring 1 point, 3 assists and 2 turnovers. Payton only played 8 minutes but scored the most points, making 5 of 6 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 12 points and 2
assists.
Yang Jian scored 7 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists, and then scored a mid-range shot and a misplaced breakthrough dunk.
Iverson is very depressed. The media likes to compare him with Yang Jian. The person he most wants to challenge in this game is Yang Jian, not Payton. But Yang Jian does not play defense and did not talk to him before the game. It seems that he has no idea.
Interested in talking to him.
Payton talks trash constantly and likes to rant and swear at Iverson, which makes him even more upset.
The 76ers' top scorer was small forward Mark Davis who came off the bench with 11 points. After he came on the court, he played very confidently against Craig Elu, scoring two three-pointers and a mid-range shot, as well as a breakthrough.
Basket foul scored 21.
Mark Davis' performance is somewhat beyond people's expectations. Last season, he was just a substitute who averaged 3.3 points and 2.2 rebounds per game. This season, he has made significant progress, averaging 22.4 minutes per game and only scoring 8.5 points.
Mark Davis's super performance is mainly because Elu's defense is too bad and he can't keep up with the faster small forward. Elu can only play a role on the offensive end, and George Karl still likes to use him to beat Bo who has no shooting range.
Outlaw. Unless the opponent's offensive ability is very strong, George Karl will let Bo Outlaw play for a while.
Both sides sent substitutes in the second quarter, and Snow, Payton, and Sam Perkins showed off their power together. After the SuperSonics changed their lineup, the lineup in the second quarter was very strong. Schrempf only did spot-shooting and support work, which reduced
Number of singles.
Payton and Harrington are more threatening when playing pick-and-rolls. They can find misplaced breakthrough opportunities to make layups or assist teammates.
The 76ers' substitute center is Australian insider Mark Blanco, who is 208cm tall and weighs 120kg. This white center moves very slowly and will be passed if he does not change defense in time.
Doug Overton is a "two-guard" who lacks organizational skills and is not fast enough to bypass screens and pursue defenses.
The 76ers lineup has obvious flaws. There is no point guard. Iverson is not a pass-first point guard. He has the soul of a shooting guard in his thin body. The 76ers give people the impression that the players work independently and cooperate.
Quite simple.
The head coach of the 76ers, John Davis, is also not good at adapting to situations. He has been an assistant coach before and became the head coach of an NBA team for the first time this season, and his performance was poor.
In 5 minutes, the point difference widened to 22 points. The SuperSonics went on a 13-2 run.
George Karl replaced Snow, who was working hard on defense. The 76ers finally got a chance to breathe, and Yang Jian came up again.
When facing off against Yang Jian, Mark Davis and Stackhouse both hit three-pointers, and the 76ers tenaciously caught up with the score.
At halftime, the SuperSonics led 66 to 53.
Yang Jian mainly passed the ball in the first half, scoring 11 points, 3 rebounds, 10 assists and 1 steal, easily scoring a double-double.
Zhang Lili commented: "Yang Jian passed the ball selflessly to his teammates, reducing the number of shots. Today he is probably a double-double, but his score will not be very high."
Sun Zhengping said: "He has the ability to average 35 points per game, but it seems that he wants to win the scoring and assists titles at the same time. I think fans prefer to watch him score high points."
Zhang Lili said: "Players who always score high scores will destroy the team's chemical reaction. It is more reasonable for him to play this way. He will pass more passes to whoever is easier to score. Today Payton has an advantage against Iverson.
He blew Iverson away."
Sun Zhengping nodded. "I wonder if Iverson can find the offensive feeling in the second half. Payton really taught the rookie a lesson today."
At the beginning of the second half, the SuperSonics changed their lineup. Snow, Yang Jian, Schrempf, Kemp, and Sam Perkins.
Payton, who played the entire second quarter, rested. He made 8 of 12 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He had 19 points and 3 assists.
The 76ers coach sent the starter to start the game and take control of the ball first.
Iverson continued to cross steps on the outside, and changed directions to the right in both attempts. He finally shook Payton once, stopped at the free throw line and made a jump shot, which went into the net. 66 to 55.
Yang Jian felt that this ball seemed familiar, very similar to the ball Iverson played against Jordan in the parallel world. Both of them jumped from the side to block the shot, but the interference was ineffective, and Iverson scored two points.
Yang Jian feels that this ball will definitely not be included in Iverson's career highlights. Payton is not famous enough and this is just an ordinary mid-range shot. If Iverson were to challenge Jordan one-on-one, it would be different. If he dodges it, it will be publicized as knocking him down.
.
Iverson also wanted to challenge Yang Jian in a one-on-one match, but Yang Jian did not give him this opportunity. Of course, it would be meaningless if he challenged Yang Jian in a one-on-one match because there were too many players scoring in front of Yang Jian.
Yang Jian will not work hard on defense in the regular season. He has a plan to not be selected for the All-Defensive Team throughout his career. In the regular season, he thinks it is enough to just play casually, and it is not too late to seriously defend in the playoffs.
Payton is tired of his reputation now, and he also plays serious defense in the regular season. How tired will it be after playing 82 games? Yang Jian has no such obsession. He even thinks it would be cooler not to be selected for the All-Defensive Team.
As an international player, it is more difficult for him to be selected for the All-Defensive Team than for domestic players in the United States. It is much easier to give up. This is a good way for him to cause controversy and topicality. He wants to establish the "I don't work hard, but
You can still win” persona.
During the SuperSonics offense, Yang Jian relied on Kemp's ball-free cover from 70 degrees outside the three-point line on the right side, and suddenly cut inside to receive Snow's pass.
Payton can rest, and Snow can also complete the organizational tasks very well. He is familiar with Yang Jian's running route. Yang Jian relied on his speed to get past Coleman, who was unable to switch to defense, and entered the penalty area to attract Scott William.
Meuse made a supplementary defense and distributed the ball to the left corner.
Perkins was free, and he caught the ball and made a three-point jumper that hit the net. 69 to 55.
Zhang Lili smiled and said: "Yang Jian sent out his 11th assist. Perkins feels very good today. He has not missed a shot yet. He made 6 of 6 shots and 3 of 3 three-pointers. He scored 15 points."
Sun Zhengping said: "When Perkins is on the court, it is the most difficult for opponents to double-team Yang Jian. Without double-teaming, he can also assist his teammates to score when he breaks through. Other insiders do not have such a long range. The SuperSonics renewed Perkins' contract.
It’s worth it.”
When the 76ers attacked, Iverson and Coleman played a pick-and-roll, moved sideways to shoot a three-pointer, but missed it due to Payton's interference. Scott Williams grabbed the offensive rebound and scored again.
69 to 57.
When the SuperSonics attacked, Yang Jian slid down the baseline and got rid of Stackhouse under the cover of Perkins to catch the ball in the right corner. He caught the ball and threw it, but Stackhouse did not jump and stretched out his hand to interfere, but the interference was ineffective, and the ball went in!
72 to 57.
Everyone in the 76ers felt something was wrong, and now Yang Jian opened...
