Sheldon Lowry sighed: "Yang Jian has scored several such long three-pointers this season. He really dares to throw them. And even if he doesn't score, George Karl won't blame him."
Plummer Lott said: "Before Young, no one in the world had ever played like this. Compared with the real madman, Van Exel of the Lakers seems much more normal."
Sheldon laughed and said: "Van Exel's shooting percentage is very low and his performance is unstable. Yang is different. His shooting percentage is much higher, especially in this game."
The commentators felt incredible after watching Yang Jian's performance, and Rick Fox, who was facing him, was about to lose his temper.
Damn it, are you still a human? How could you just throw it all in?!
In the 1990s, everyone would be confused when they saw a performance similar to that performed by Stephen Curry when he won the regular season MVP. This kind of super giant is a bit metaphysical. I feel that if I can score, I will throw it, and then I will score.
After Yang Jian's shooting accuracy increased, his three-point ability improved slightly. He dared to shoot three-pointers more than any basketball player in the world, and he still had the conditions to do so.
There are currently only two coaches in the NBA who allow players to play like this, one is George Karl and the other is Nelson. Yang Jian has met a coach that suits him, otherwise he would have been put on the bench and guarded to death.
When the Celtics attacked, Yang Jian let Fox go two meters away and shot casually. Fox, whose mentality was affected, failed to make a shot from the right side of the open space. Yang Jian grabbed the backcourt rebound.
Yang Jian dribbled the ball quickly forward, attracting two double-teams as soon as the half was passed. He distributed the ball to Schrempf, who missed a jumper from outside the three-point line.
Schrempf's outside shooting is hit or miss, and he takes relatively few shots, and his stability cannot be compared with Yang Jian. Before the NBA's three-point line was shortened, he rarely tried to shoot three-pointers. In the past three seasons, he averaged 3-pointers per game.
That's 1.2 goals scored.
Antoine Walker grabbed a rebound in the backcourt and showed off his skills by leading the frontcourt. He brought it to the three-point line and passed the ball to Fox who was running. There was no concealment in this pass. Yang
Jane suddenly accelerated and reached out to poke the basketball away, then sprinted forward to pick up the ball and got rid of Fox.
Fox only ran two steps and stopped chasing, knowing that he couldn't catch up. Yang simply made a fast break and scored with a Tomahawk dunk!
100 to 84, personal 49th point.
Yang Jian roared in celebration, and the home fans applauded.
After entering the final quarter, Yang Jian's physical advantage also began to appear. The defender was not as fast as him, and his physical strength had declined, making it impossible to catch up with him. Compared with him, Fox looked increasingly bulky.
The Celtics attacked, David Wesley and Walker played a pick-and-roll, moved sideways with the ball and hit a three-pointer on the right side. Harrington was a step slower in changing defense. 100 to 87.
Harrington can get sufficient training in this kind of game, and no one can blame him if he can't guard him. Yang Jian also applauded him twice to show encouragement. Ben Wallace didn't get many training opportunities, and his
The offense was so bad that George Karl didn't want to use him.
When the SuperSonics attacked, Yang Jian slipped behind the baseline and got rid of Fox under the cover of Perkins. He received a pass from Snow in the right corner. He held the ball without feinting and took a small step to the left. Fox chased
Defend and move laterally.
Yang Jian's change of direction was not big. He dribbled the ball behind his left hand and used his right hand to change direction to the right to break through the baseline. He passed Fox with his speed. Fox had no choice but to foul the ball.
Yang Jian pulled the ball up, and as soon as he was caught, he threw the ball towards the basket with one hand with his right hand. He missed but got a free throw opportunity.
As soon as he stood on the free throw line, the home fans shouted "mvp" again! This has become a habit at the SuperSonics home court. They shout it almost every game, and the momentum is amazing.
Yang Jian made two steady free throws, 102 to 87.
Sheldon sighed: "Young has scored 51 points. There is still a lot of time before the final quarter. He can definitely hit 60. I think he can definitely do it."
Plummer laughed and said: "Fox has already committed four fouls. It seems that the Celtics are not planning to make a substitution. Fox cannot defend himself and has to continue to defend. The coach is torturing him."
The Green Army attacked. Wesley played a pick-and-roll and passed the ball to Walker. The latter feinted the ball in the middle, changed direction to the right and passed the inexperienced Harrington, and scored a three-step layup. 102 to 89.
During the SuperSonics offense, Yang Jian took the ball from the bottom line and attracted a double team. He had no chance to pass the ball to Schrempf. The latter quickly transferred the ball to Perkins in the left corner.
Perkins had a chance to shoot but didn't shoot. He saw someone coming up to defend and passed the ball to Snow. As a result, he made a mistake in the pass and was successfully intercepted by Wesley.
Wesley was also very fast and scored a layup on a single fast break. 102 to 91.
When the SuperSonics attacked, Yang Jian asked for the ball as soon as the half was passed, and called Harrington to cover him from the outside. Other teams generally do not have good results when playing pick-and-rolls from long distances, but it is a common tactic for the SuperSonics.
Harrington is happy to pull out and cover, he doesn't care about personal data at all.
Yang Jian got rid of Fox and dribbled the ball to the right. Walker switched defense and tried to block the breakthrough route, but Yang Jian used his speed to change direction and passed him. Yang Jian made an emergency stop in front of the 70-degree three-point line on the right side and shot a jumper. Walker turned around and was a step too late to pursue the defense.
Failed to block the shot, Fox also failed to catch up.
Yang Jian made this shot very comfortably, no one interfered in front of him, and the ball hit the net hollowly! 105 to 91.
Plummer shouted: "Three-pointers! Yang hit his 10th three-pointer!"
Sheldon said: "His personal score has now reached 54 points, which has increased too quickly. I think his scoring ability is really better than Jordan's, and he is simply unstoppable."
Coach Kyle was stunned on the sidelines and did not call a timeout. In his impression, Fox was a better defender than Todd Daye, ignoring the fact that Todd's physical condition was more suitable for defending Yang Jian.
Kyle is not a good coach. After the Celtics step down, it is estimated that no other team will ask him to be the head coach. The only thing that such a coach is good at is probably making mistakes.
The Celtics attacked, and after several players passed the ball, center Sabo caught the ball in the low post on the left. He turned to the center, feinted, took a step forward and pushed up against the player, causing Perkins to foul.
Sabo made one of two free throws, 105 to 92.
At this time, Kyle finally requested a timeout, took the tactical board to give the players a "lesson", and emphasized defensive tactics.
The Celtics finally made a substitution, Todd Daye came on and replaced center Sabo.
Sabo was just a jerk on the court, playing 13 minutes and only scoring 3 points on free throws. He is obviously unqualified as a starting center. After this season, no team will offer him another contract, even if it is just a basic salary.
.
The SuperSonics also made substitutions, with Kemp coming on to replace Harrington. This was a targeted substitution. When the Greens were playing small ball tactics, Kemp was more likely to get shots.
As expected, the Green Army players tightly double-teamed Yang Jian, leaving others free.
Yang Jian attracts double-teams and distributes the ball, and both Schrempf and Kemp can get easy shooting opportunities. Schrempf can quickly transfer the ball to Kemp who is cutting through the air without shooting.
Kemp performed well after coming on the court. He hit the basket with the ball and scored 6 points in a row. Walker was sitting under the basket and couldn't guard him. His frame protection was too poor. He could only use fouls to stop Kemp, and he committed five fouls.
Walker responded on the offensive end, breaking through and causing a foul on Kemp, and made one of two free throws. He also assisted the new player Todd Daye to hit a three-pointer.
In addition to the foul, Kemp made another mistake. When dribbling and breaking through the frame, he knocked the ball out of the baseline under pressure.
George Karl took Kemp off the court to rest and replaced him with Buck Williams. He did not intend to let Kemp play again. Kemp committed the most turnovers on the team with 5. At the same time, Payton was substituted and replaced Snow.
Kemp's performance today was not bad. He made 8 of 12 shots and 4 of 6 free throws in 25 minutes. He scored 20 points, 7 rebounds, 2 steals and 3 blocks. Two of his big blocks were given to Walker.
The game continued, Walker caught the ball from the outside and hit a three-pointer against Williams' defense. 113 to 102.
When the SuperSonics attacked, Yang Jian caught the ball again as soon as the half was passed. This time everyone pulled away and he did not need to cover, preparing to play singles with the ball. As a result, he attracted two double-teams outside the three-point line.
The ball was passed to Schrempf.
Schrempf scored easily with an open mid-range shot, 115 to 102.
Unknowingly, Yang Jian's assist count has reached 7, and it is possible to score a double-double...
