At the post-game press conference, the Rockets' two superstars gave Yang Jian high praise.
Olajuwon said: "I think Yang Jian is fully worthy of the title of top 50 superstar. His record speaks for itself. He has not lost many games since he entered the league. He is really too strong."
Drexler said: "Young's physical strength is so terrifying. Maybe he will lose only in back-to-back games. He doesn't seem to get tired at all. I feel like I am playing basketball with a robot. We played well for 40 minutes.
In the end, if I couldn’t bear it, I lost because of my physical strength.”
The Sonics have many physical monsters, and Yang Jian is the most outstanding one because he cheats. He has developed a good habit of basking in the sun. As long as it is sunny on the day of the game, he will compete in super strong condition.
For such a big thing as tying the historical record, other stars certainly commented on the game.
Most people praised Yang Jian for his strong personal ability, his comprehensive performance on the court and his ability to lead the team to win. Some also praised the SuperSonics for their strong overall strength and being the best team.
Of course, there are retired stars who say that the current NBA is not as good-looking as it was in the past, there are not as many stars as there were in the past, the competition is not as intense as it was in the 1970s and 1980s, etc.
No matter how you evaluate it, it is an indisputable fact that the SuperSonics have tied the Lakers' record. Yang Jian's data is also as stable as ever, and he can produce beautiful data every once in a while.
The league has conducted multiple urine tests on Yang Jian and publicly stated that his strong strength is not due to drug use. Many teams have already suspected that he uses doping, otherwise he should not be so violent.
Yang Jian actively cooperated with the urine test every time. He was upright and not afraid of slanted shadows.
Since the Sonics' next game was an away game against the 76ers, the media generally believed that it was certain that they would break the record, and there would be no chance of an accident happening. The unlucky 76ers would once again become a heavyweight backdrop.
All NBA teams have two days off to celebrate the New Year, and the SuperSonics will have back-to-back away games against the 76ers and Grizzlies.
The reason why this game against the Rockets is crucial is because once the Sonics defeat the Rockets, they can continue to win many games in a row. The opponent is not strong enough, and their loss will be a huge upset.
The next day, many media invited Yang Jian to conduct exclusive interviews with him, and some wanted to invite him to participate in variety shows.
The tv5 exclusive interview was canceled and other activities were postponed. The Chinese media also worked hard to interview him. Special correspondent Guo Zhen did not even go home for the holidays and followed the Sonics everywhere.
Domestically, Yang Jian’s news is now being followed and reported, and every game is followed. Fans expect him to break the historical record, which is a major event that can be discussed for decades. Just tying it, countless people believe that he has surpassed Jordan and won a real championship.
Super Jordan.
Like the 60 triple-doubles, the 33-game winning streak is also called an impossible record by the media and is about to be broken. Yang Jian already has two such super records.
Yang Jian expressed his thoughts about breaking the record. "We will definitely win the next game without any accidents. The 76ers are the bottom team in the Eastern Conference. If we lose to them and fail to break the record, we will find a place as soon as possible and die."
Come on."
Guo Zhen asked: "How many consecutive victories do you think the SuperSonics can finally achieve?"
"I don't know. Anyway, we won't lose to the 76ers and Grizzlies. The schedule is very beneficial to us."
After chatting about basketball for a while, Yang Jian wished his domestic fans a happy New Year. In the new year, he also said that his short-term goals are not ambitious.
"I want to win the regular season MVP first, then defend the championship, and then return to China in the summer to participate in the Asian Championships and do activities to meet domestic fans. If there is still vacation, I want to find time to write scripts and create roles suitable for me."
Guo Zhen asked in surprise: "Are you going to make a movie this summer? Isn't the last one not released yet?"
"The filming process of "Fifty First Dates" was very interesting. I like working part-time in Hollywood. But I know that there is not enough time for filming this year, so I will wait until next year. It is not too early for me to finish the finals, and I don't have much rest time.
"
If Yang Jian was not filming, his vacation in 1998 would have been too long. He caused a lot of butterfly effects, but things like the breakdown of labor negotiations and the suspension of the new season would not have any impact.
If nothing else goes wrong, the NBA 1998-99 season will not start until February 1999, and the suspension will last 204 days. He has enough time to develop his side business.
Guo Zhen said: "You will play a lot of games this year. Will you feel tired from it? The schedule is very tight now."
"I don't know, I rarely feel tired." Yang Jian paused and smiled: "No matter how tired I am, I still have to play in national team games. I think it is very meaningful to represent the national team in international competitions.
"
Yang Jian can also speak in scenes, so that he can get more support from Chinese fans. He is already the eldest brother of the national team, and he will definitely be scolded if he does not participate in the competition.
As long as it is convenient, he also decides to participate in Asian-level competitions, at least until 2002. The two losses to South Korea are a stain on the Chinese men's basketball team.
Guo Zhen asked: "How are you going to celebrate the New Year today? Do you have any special arrangements?"
"Staying at home, eating, watching TV, nothing special." Yang Jian couldn't say that she had special arrangements. Spending the New Year at home with her two girlfriends was exposed by the media, which would definitely be controversial.
Americans don't celebrate the New Year with much excitement. Yang Jian is now famous enough that he needs to consider hiring a bodyguard, let alone go out to participate in events. The only thing he did was to pick up Drew Barrymore at the airport after dressing up in the afternoon.
In order to keep a low profile, he went out in Naomi's usual red Mazda.
Barrymore's relationship with her parents is very poor, and they rarely see each other. If she doesn't come to Seattle, she will spend the New Year alone or attend celebrity parties in Los Angeles.
After discussing with Naomi, she decided to come to Seattle. When Yang Jian went to play an away game, she and Naomi returned to Los Angeles to attend an audition to select actors.
They had a very harmonious atmosphere, chatting, watching TV, and having New Year's dinner.
When the three of them drank red wine and clinked glasses, Yang Jianjian, as Yang Diesel, delivered a simple congratulations. "The most important thing in life is always the family here and now."
Then he suddenly had inspiration and discovered that "The Fast and the Furious" could also be filmed. Parallel World, this is a famous action series film produced by Universal Company, and it must not have a script yet.
This series is much better than those horror movie series. In the early stage, it was just a B-level movie. Unexpectedly, every movie was a hit at the box office, and later it gradually turned into a big-budget science fiction movie.
The more Yang Jian thought about it, the more he thought he had a clue, and he could also play a cameo role in the movie. Later, the movie was an ensemble cast with many characters. The male lead in the first movie was still Paul Walker, and he would definitely not consider Vin Diesel for the other lead.
Alright.
In a parallel world, Vin Diesel has conflicts with many of the main creators of Suji. He likes to act like a big star, and he only pretends to be a bad guy if he has no acting skills. He was scolded by Johnson, and he is quite a difficult person to deal with.
Later, it was able to continue filming because most of the actors in this film had no other works and were not worth much and could only appear in the vegetarian series. Except for Paul Walker, who died in a car accident, no capable person could stand Vin Diesel's role in the film.
Gone.
Naomi asked: "Why are you suddenly in a daze? What are you thinking about?"
"I thought of a movie."
Barrymore laughed and said: "What are you thinking of again? This atmosphere shouldn't make you think of some horror thriller movie, right?"
Naomi was a little embarrassed and suspected that Yang Jian was thinking about a plot of three people falling in love and killing each other.
As a result, Yang Jian said: "I was thinking of an action movie, a movie that combines crime, drag racing and other elements. The story takes place in Los Angeles. An FBI newcomer was sent to be an undercover agent in a speeding gang robbery gang, and later fell in love with him.
The story of the second male lead’s sister becoming brothers with the second male lead.”
Barrymore was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Are you out of your mind? Can you think of this while eating New Year's Eve dinner? Who would think of such a thing?"
"I don't know what happened, but suddenly inspiration came out of me, and I thought this movie would be a hit."
"People who are supposed to have conflicts end up loving each other, just like we do now?" Naomi sighed and said with a wry smile: "You must be thinking so."
"Scumbag," Barrymore snorted.
"Scumbag." Naomi continued.
Yang Jian took a deep breath and shrugged. "Okay, I'm guilty."
