Celtics head coach M.L. Kyle sat on the sidelines as steady as a rock, his eyes filled with love.
The reason why Kyle has this attitude is because he knows that he will be dismissed after this season, which is a foregone conclusion. He is only a transitional head coach in the Green Army, and his task is to fight for the right to obtain a high-ranking rookie in the summer.
Even if he doesn't want to mess up, the management has issued an order. If the Green Army wins, it will affect the future. The Green Army is currently only second to last in the league because the Grizzlies are so bad.
Can't win the ball.
Kyle was too lazy to shout to the players on the court to double-team Yang Jian. He knew that shouting would be of little use. No one in the Green Army could guard him, let alone a star of Yang Jian's level.
The players in the Green Army are all bastards, and they are collecting statistics together this season. The coach's only tactic is to emphasize that forward Antoine Walker should take more shots to train this rookie with the sixth pick in the first round.
In fact, Walker is not a player worth cultivating, he is a weirdo. In a parallel world, this power forward who is 206cm tall and weighs 110kg has played 12 seasons in his entire career, and his true shooting percentage exceeded 50% in only 2 seasons.
.
Walker is the kind of person whose shots are always in blind spots, but he dares to take them, and his statistics are quite good. He averaged 17.5 points, 7.7 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.2 steals in his career. If he retires after 20 seasons, he will definitely be the iron king in NBA history.
.20 points in 20 shots is what he is good at.
It has to be said that it is a miracle that Walker is such a loser and has been the boss of the Celtics for many years.
The good news for the Sonics is that Walker was not strong today, otherwise the point difference would have been too easy to widen.
Walker caught the ball at a 60-degree angle on the left side, feinted, changed direction and passed Kemp. He scored a layup and caused a 21 foul on the chasing Kemp thug.
Walker's extra penalty shot was not made, 10 to 8.
As the SuperSonics attacked, the Celtics players were unable to stop Yang Jian from catching the ball.
Rick Fox's defensive ability is good, and he is good at using personal defense methods to find confrontation. He has height and weight, and he will not suffer against power forwards. But against Yang Jian, he cannot use his own advantages and only has disadvantages. He is not close at all.
Can't live.
Anyone in the NBA who has the ability to attack with the ball can score a lot of points as long as he opens up space with his opponent and can start with the ball and takes enough shots. People like Yang Jian who shoot accurately can get more space, and his speed is even more terrifying.
Still fast.
Yang Jian held the ball in the right corner and changed direction to the left. He used his speed to get rid of Fox's 50-degree emergency stop and made a mid-range shot. The ball went hollow into the net! 12 to 8.
Just now, Yang Jian roared and celebrated after completing an alley-oop dunk. It is normal for him not to roar when shooting. It is better to be more domineering when dunking, which can improve the morale of the whole team. After adding the buff, his current mid-range shooting ability is 100, and the opponent does not block shots.
Or serious interference, he is sure to hit the target nine times out of ten.
Sheldon Lowry lamented: "Yang is too strong. The opponent can score consecutively without double-teaming him. The Celtics players seem to have no idea of double-teaming him. If we guard him this way, we will definitely score high points today."
Plummer Lott said: "The most terrifying thing about Young this season is not his beautiful statistics, but his extremely high shooting percentage. His three shooting percentages are among the top 10 in the league, which is higher than the shooting percentages of most inside players."
.”
Returning to the defensive end, Yang Jian began to let go, letting Fox go two meters away and retreating to the penalty area to prepare for a rebound.
Fox received a pass from David Wesley in the right corner and made a three-point jumper. Yang Jian did not interfere and the ball went in. 12 to 11.
Yang Jian's behavior was blatant, and the NCAA's defensive intensity would not be so low. He would not be questioned by his teammates when he did this. Everyone knew his thoughts, he wanted to improve the data and was confident to win.
Coach George Karl didn't care about Yang Jian. Although Yang Jian didn't complain to the coaching staff about his lack of playing time, he did have very little playing time and often entered garbage time at the end of the game.
A team with a super scorer can easily play a wave and take away the game quickly. In order to increase playing time, Yang Jian can only work less hard on the defensive end, which is a happy trouble.
When the SuperSonics attacked, Yang Jian ran up the line from the right corner, but received the pass and had no chance to make a direct shot. Kempla went to the three-point line to set a screen, and Yang Jian took the ball to the center and changed directions to make an emergency stop jumper for a three-pointer, getting rid of Fox.
And avoided Walker's block.
This time his shot was slightly off, and the ball bounced out of the frame.
Eric Williams grabbed the rebound for Wesley to launch a counterattack. Wesley dribbled the ball across half court and passed it to Walker, who was actively on the fast break. The latter held the ball and faced Kemp's defense and forced a layup.
, was slapped down by Kemp under the basket.
Walker's offensive choices were terrible. He had just hit 21 in a one-on-one challenge with Kemp, so he thought he could do it this time. He didn't think about the opponent's physical quality and was blindly confident.
Kemp is similar to Walker in that he is also very sloppy when handling the ball. He picked up the basketball and threw it to the frontcourt to find Payton to start a fast break. Wesley saw the opportunity and rushed forward, easily intercepting the basketball.
Payton hurriedly pursued the defense, and Wesley passed the ball to Eric Williams, who was cutting through the air. Eric was 203cm tall and weighed 100kg. He was a strong black man with strong impact. He pushed past Schrempf and forced
The layup was not scored, but it caused a foul on Kemp who was defending.
Sheldon lamented: "Kemp's action was a bit redundant. He didn't control his mistakes and fouls this time. He needs to go down and rest for a while."
Plummer said: "Kemp can't become a top insider because he makes too many mistakes and fouls. But now the Sonics players and coaches are not panic at all, they just need to replace him."
Shelton said: "George Karl has become a different person since last season and is less irritable. He used to want to win too much and was always dissatisfied with the players. Now he knows that the team can win even if Kemp rests.
As long as Yang Jian is here."
The Sonics replaced Kemp and replaced him with Sam Perkins. After the veteran came on the court, he spoke to Harrington and instructed him to change positions, preparing to go to the line to cover Yang Jian and leave the bottom line to Parkin.
S.
Eric Williams made two free throws and the Celtics took the lead. 12 to 13.
When the SuperSonics attacked, Yang Jian started running again, sliding from the left baseline to the right corner. Payton passed the ball, and Yang Jian caught the ball and made a three-point jumper against Fox who was chasing him.
Yang Jian was looking for a rhythm to shoot, so he glanced at the basket. He concluded that Fox would not take off easily because he was afraid of being passed by him. He saw through Fox's thoughts, and Fox did not dare to raise his arms too high because of his high center of gravity.
It's easy to get passed.
Seeing that Yang Jian jumped up and Fox jumped again, he couldn't cover it. It just seemed that the defense was in place and the ball went hollow into the net. 15 to 13.
Plummer shouted: "Young made his third three-pointer in this game. He scored 13 points personally, and he scored 20 in a single quarter today."
Sheldon said: "His 20 in a single quarter is no longer surprising. It has been several times this season. I think the suspense is whether he can get 60 again today. The two high scores this season were both achieved by him.
, he may take the top three spots."
The Celtics attacked, and Fox wanted to return a three-pointer. His baseline shot failed to score this time. Harrington grabbed the rebound and passed it to Yang Jian.
Yang Jian quickly advanced in the middle to get rid of Fox, and attracted Eric Williams to defend in front of the free throw line. He glanced at Schrempf on the left, pulled the ball behind him with his right hand, and made a fake pass from behind.
Eric was attracted and his body paused. Yang Jian quickly pulled the ball back, changed direction and rushed into the basket with his right hand to score easily.
17 to 13, personal 15th point.
Yang Jian used a technique that Van Exel was good at, "fake pass shot". It was not complicated, it was just a fake pass from behind, and the ball was successful without dropping it. Yang Jian used it with amazing power, because he is now
The league's assist leader, opponents will also prevent him from passing the ball.
The Celtics attacked and the players passed the ball several times. Eric ran to catch the ball and missed the mid-range shot. Center Brett Sabo grabbed the offensive rebound, and the second attack caused Harrington's hitter to foul.
Sabo is also somewhat useful, as he has a height advantage. And his free throws are pretty good, making two free throws. 17 to 15.
When the SuperSonics attacked, Yang Jian ran to the left three-point line to receive the pass. After a feint, he changed direction and passed Fox to the middle. Fox couldn't bear it and committed a foul...
