When the Celtics attacked, Yang Jian shrank to the penalty area to "defend" and let Rick Fox go two meters away.
With such an obvious gap, David Wesley can't pass the ball. If he doesn't pass, it shows that his passing vision is too poor and he is not a good defender.
Fox can't catch the ball without shooting. The opportunity is too good. If he doesn't shoot, it will hurt his morale. He is not a blue-collar player without shooting range. The team must complete the offense after all. Shouldn't it be allowed to let people with poor opportunities shoot?
The only person in the league who can demoralize his opponents by not being defensive is Yang Jian, who is more irritating than talking trash.
I made it clear that I look down on you, so I asked you if you were angry?
What's even more annoying is that he lets you shoot like this, but you still can't win the ball in the end, and your statistics aren't as good as his.
Fox made a three-point jumper from the right corner and scored another one without interference. 115 to 105.
Fox made 4 of 6 three-pointers, and his performance today was very eye-catching. Being behind by ten points does not seem like much, but the players know that they must defend in order to win. The most paradoxical thing is that they have no intention of winning at all.
Beating the Sonics was not part of the team's plans.
Ever since Tim Duncan announced his intention to participate in the NBA draft, there have been five teams that have thoroughly implemented the "bad policy". How bad have they been? The number of wins in the entire season is only about 20 games.
The Celtics are going to fight to the end. In the parallel world, they are 15 wins and 67 losses! The Spurs won 21 games and have the third-worst record in the league. They were lucky enough to win the No. 1 pick and select Duncan, who will use it for 20 years.
Whether the Spurs "won" the No. 1 pick is a question. President David Stern did not want the Celtics and Grizzlies to get the No. 1 pick. The Celtics had two high draft picks in 1997, and the Grays
The location of the bear is terrible.
During the SuperSonics offense, Yang Jian attracted a double-team outside the three-point line and passed the ball to Schrempf. Schrempf was released in the high post and made a solid mid-range shot.
117 to 105, Yang Jian’s 8th assist.
Sheldon Lowry said: "Yang's assists are almost in double figures again. If the opponent prevents him from scoring, he will assist his teammates. His passing ability is very strong. His distance to attract double teams is too far, and there will definitely be gaps on the court.
.”
Plummer Lott said: "The Sonics have a lot of players who can catch and shoot, so it's not a good idea to let Schrempf go. If he hadn't sacrificed the ball, he would have averaged more than 15 points per game."
Schrempf currently averages only 12.1 points per game, shooting 54.2% from the field and 40.4% from three-point range. If it weren't for his free throw shooting rate of only 80.1%, he would be a member of the "180 Club" this season.
In a parallel world, Schrempf was selected to the All-Star for the third time in his career this season, averaging 16.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1 steal per game. It's not that his strength has declined significantly, it's just that the number of shots has decreased.
Obviously, Schrempf is an efficient scoring point that cannot be left open, and a top role player. Yang Jian wanted to score high points, but his teammates had too many opportunities, so he had to pass the ball.
At this time, Yang Jian felt that it was too difficult to score 81 points like Kobe. Because if a player wanted to do this, he not only had to have excellent touch, but also had to be evenly matched with his opponents, and he had to completely ignore the existence of his teammates.
Unless the strength of his teammates fails in the future, or the team suffers from serious injuries and the ball is concentrated, Yang Jian does not plan to hit 80.
The Celtics attacked, Antoine Walker caught the ball in the high post after playing a pick-and-roll, and scored in the mid-range shot. 117 to 107.
The current lineup of the SuperSonics is not a defensive lineup. Payton is the only one who likes to work hard on defense. Payton is too lazy to work hard today. After he defended Jordan in the finals, everyone recognized his defensive ability.
And Payton knows very well that he doesn't need to defend seriously against the Celtics, just make a point and it will be good for everyone.
When the SuperSonics attacked, Payton dribbled the ball to the ball-protecting organization on the right side, waiting for Yang Jian to move. Yang Jian slid down the baseline and ran to the right corner to catch the ball, without giving Walker time to save and double-team.
Todd Daye nearly blocked the shot when he jumped to chase it. He defended it in place, but Yang Jian still made the shot. 120 to 107.
Yang Jian's hands were very hot today. During training, he knew how to twitch and shoot hard against people. His 11 three-pointers have tied the NBA's historical single-game record, which was previously set by Magic forward Denise Scott.
of.
When the Celtics attacked, Yang Jian let Fox shoot as he pleased, and Wesley passed the ball. Fox made another three-pointer from the corner, 120 to 110.
Fox has benefited, as he is about to set a new career scoring high.
During the SuperSonics offense, his teammates still helped Yang Jian create opportunities to catch the ball. This time he feinted with the ball on the right baseline, turned to the left and stepped back, and his 45-degree jumper three-pointer missed due to severe interference.
Walker defended and the Celtic penalty area was empty without a big man. Buck Williams grabbed the offensive rebound and scored on the second offensive board. 122 to 110.
The Celtics attacked and Fox received the ball in the bottom corner. This time Yang Jian defended it. Fox missed the shot and passed it to Walker in the low post. Walker relied on Buck Williams to catch the ball and turned around and threw to the baseline to score.
A.122 to 112.
When the SuperSonics attacked, Yang Jian first ran to the right corner, then slid around the baseline and came out from the top line on the left. Todd Daye worked hard to pursue the defense. He played less than 30 minutes today and has more energy than Fox.
Todd Daye made a mistake this time. He quickly chose to stay close to him in pursuit. At this point, he wanted to defend Yang Jian several times to prove his strength.
As a result, Yang Jian took the ball and hit Todd Daye, turned around and easily got rid of it in the middle. Moreover, Eric Williams saw his teammates catching up and did not get to the outside of the three-point line, so he followed Perkins.
Bottom line.
Yang Jian was shorter than Todd, but his strength was much better. Todd was stunned for a moment and then pursued the defense a little slower. Yang Jian made an emergency stop in front of the three-point line in the middle and shot a jumper, but Todd jumped up to block the shot.
Slight interference.
The ball drew a beautiful arc and hit the net! 125 to 112.
Plummer shouted: "Young made another three-pointer and scored 60 points. And he hit his 12th three-pointer of the game, setting a new NBA single-game three-point record."
Shelton said: "There are still 4 minutes left in the game, and he can continue to score."
Wesley dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and passed it to Fox for an easy score. Yang Jian, who had already scored 60 points, stopped letting loose. It was time to play seriously.
Wesley passed the ball to Eric Williams, who broke through for a layup and was blocked by Perkins. After all, Perkins is a strong black man with a height of 206cm and a weight of 107kg, with little athletic ability.
It’s not something Eric who is 203cm can hit casually.
Schrempf picked up the basketball and immediately passed it to Yang Jian to start a fast break. In the positional battle, Schrempf defended Todd Daye and Yang Jian defended Fox. Once a Green Army player missed a shot, the Sonics launched a fast break.
Misalignment may occur.
Yang Jian dribbled the ball toward Fox on the left side and advanced quickly. When the two were about to collide, Yang Jian dribbled to the right with his left hand and passed the ball. He stepped on the three-point line and pulled the ball three steps.
Only Fox and Wesley quickly returned to defense. If Fox was passed, the opponent could score easily. Fox therefore chose to foul and Yang Jian casually threw the ball forward to get a free throw opportunity.
The home fans shouted "mvp" again, and Yang Jian made two free throws, scoring his 62nd point. 127 to 112.
When the Celtics attacked, Walker made another mistake. He received the ball in the middle and broke through. He didn't take Buck Williams seriously and started to cross-step in front of the frame. As a result, his change of direction was seen through, and William
James reached out accurately and cut off the basketball, successfully stealing the ball.
Yang Jian immediately rushed out, took a few steps away from Fox, and received the pass from Williams for a fast break. Only point guard Wesley was able to defend in time. He let Payton go and rushed towards Yang Jian, trying to force him to pass.
ball.
However, Yang Jian did not pass the ball to Payton, who was empty. He made a shot from one meter outside the three-point line. Wesley jumped up and failed to cover it.
Yang Jian knew that this shot would not be blocked, so he controlled the shooting rhythm very well, and scored another one! 130 to 112.
Even if he fails to make the shot, Payton has a high probability of grabbing the offensive rebound, and there is no pressure at all on the shot. He is always accurate in this state, and the fans in the audience cheer together.
Yang Jian hit his 13th three-pointer and scored 65 points...
