Chapter 414 [Supersonic production, it must be a boutique! 】
After a disastrous 32-point defeat in the first game, no one in the Bulls was willing to be interviewed by the media, and all turned black at the press conference. Head coach Phil Jackson, in particular, looked as if Grandpa KFC had completely gone dark and was planning to destroy chickens all over the world.
A reporter asked about a sensitive topic and asked Jordan if he thought Yang Jian was stronger than when he was at his peak? Jordan didn't speak and couldn't answer.
For him to say that Yang Jian is stronger, it would be better to just shoot him in the head. He can't say that he is stronger. He really can't deal with Yang Jian now.
It's not that Jordan's strength has dropped significantly from his peak, but that Yang Jian's strength is ridiculously strong, just like Wu Dalang married a Kardashian, who knows the depth.
The SuperSonics players were interviewed later, and Yang Jian was surrounded by reporters again, becoming the focus of the audience.
Everyone thinks that he has locked in the FMVP and will perform the feat of winning three MVPs this season.
Yang Jian talked about his feelings and said: "I am very happy that the team got off to a good start. It was a wonderful game. But now is not the time to take it lightly. We have to win four games to win the cup. We will not be satisfied just because of a big win."
Look down on your opponents, if Jordan and Pippen find their shooting touch, the Bulls will be very strong."
Yang Jian doesn't know when they will find the shooting feeling. If they were in the same state as the Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Bulls would 100% be swept.
Yang Jian always feels that things will not be that simple. When David Stern was president, he allowed a sweep in the finals, but it also depends on the situation. If the SuperSonics win the playoffs and win the championship, they will definitely not be the top players in the league.
Hope to see.
Too much is not enough. If a team is too dominant, the league will lose competition, thus affecting the ratings. The ratings of this season's finals have dropped compared to last season.
The reporter asked: "How would you rate your performance today?"
Yang Jian smiled and said: "Full marks. I felt very good today, and I felt like I was going to score as soon as I took the shot. Of course, my feel was also very good in the last round of the series, and my feel has been good throughout the season, so the end of the game should be no exception."
His arrogant speech can dig holes for his opponents and give people the impression that he will take more shots in the next game. However, he doesn't particularly care about scoring data, as long as he can get FMVP.
Yang Jian said this deliberately to attract attention, and wanted Jackson Jackson to arrange for him to be double-teamed at the end of the game. Payton's data today was too bad. I discussed with him in the locker room and wanted to make more shots at the end to make the data better. He
Agreed.
The reporter asked: "What do you think is the key factor why the Sonics are nearly invincible this season and have only lost 7 games so far?"
"It's unity. We are the best team. We share the ball selflessly to make the ball move better, and then there are many easy shots during the game."
The reporter asked: "How would you evaluate the Bulls' performance today?"
"Not as good as us." Yang Jian said concisely.
The reporter asked: "Many people think that your strength has surpassed Jordan. What do you think is your biggest advantage compared with him?"
"My biggest advantage is youth. I don't know how strong Jordan was when he was young, but I must be stronger now. Moreover, age is a disadvantage that he cannot make up for." Yang Jian's truth always hurts people.
Jordan is 34 years old this year and 35 next year. Although the 40-year-old Jordan will not spread his hands on the court and walk on defense, he is obviously at a disadvantage compared to Yang Jian.
Jordan's shooting percentage has dropped, which is directly related to his decline in physical fitness. His breakthroughs are not as sharp as when he was young, and he mainly relies on back-up turnaround jumpers to score.
Yang Jian also praised Payton in particular. "The coach assigned Gary to defend Jordan because his defensive effect is very good. He can always complete difficult tasks and guard the opponent's top outside scorer."
The reporter asked: "Don't you want to play against Jordan?"
"He will guard me if you don't think so. We often face each other, but my main task is to attack." Yang Jian mentioned that Jordan guarded him, which increased the value of his data.
People will definitely pay more attention to him beating Jordan, rather than not guarding Jordan. It's not that he can't guard Jordan, he just doesn't want to compete with Jordan. Payton will do the dirty work, and it will be easier for him to obtain luxurious statistics.
These things cannot be stated clearly, but the coach did arrange it this way. If Yang Jian is assigned to defend Jordan and Payton is assigned to attack, the offensive effect will definitely not be as good as it is now.
Payton said in an interview: "It doesn't matter if I score less. With Yang here, we will not lack offensive firepower. I believe we will defeat the Bulls and successfully defend the title."
Payton won't be angry because he has less possession of the ball, and is happy to defend Jordan and use his defensive skills.
He is very satisfied with the current situation and is self-aware. In the past, his evaluation was not as good as Stockton, and some people said he was a cancer. Now he is the best second-hand player in the league, and his evaluation is better than Pippen. Stockton is considered
Which onion?
Kemp was also full of confidence, saying: "I will definitely beat Rodman. I think we have advantages inside and outside, and we will definitely defeat the Bulls and win the championship."
He believes that he has secured a big contract. He has been selected to the second team of the All-NBA Team consecutively, started in the All-Star Game, and won two championships. Now when people discuss inside players, they are accustomed to ranking him ahead of Karl Malone.
After the game, the media unanimously believed that the SuperSonics' probability of winning the championship was as high as 90%. The only suspense was not whether the Bulls could win the championship, but how many games they could win against the SuperSonics.
In addition to praising Yang Jian, there are also many people who praise Kemp and Payton.
Some basketball experts believe that if Kemp leaves the Sonics, the Sonics will not be as strong next season. They say that Kemp's value cannot be reflected by statistics. Only with him in the Sonics can he achieve a combination of inside and outside, and other teams will not dare to play in the SuperSonics.
Yang Jian was excessively double-teamed from the outside.
Payton's finals data was not good, so some "experts" gathered together to criticize Kemp. After all, Kemp is a local star in the United States, and he made steady contributions in the regular season and playoffs in 2010. Once Kemp left, the SuperSonics' strength dropped significantly.
Yang Jian doesn't look so perfect anymore.
The media can't do anything to smear Yang Jian now, so they can only try their best to give some of his credit to local American stars.
Backup guard Eric Snow has also received a lot of praise. Experts believe that he has a future, can organize, shoot, and defends tough. Snow is particularly outstanding, and he also defended Jordan well in the garbage time at the end. People found that Snow
It's the same defensive style as Payton, with close confrontation forcing the opponent to choose to shoot and then interfere.
The media believes that if Snow goes to other teams, he may be able to become an excellent starting point guard. He signed a two-year low-salary contract extension with the SuperSonics. After becoming a free agent in 1998, there will definitely be teams poaching him with high salaries to join him.
Booutero has also received high praise, and it will be difficult to keep him next year. His defensive ability was recognized last season, but his offense is too bad and he can only be a functional player.
The value of players who win a championship will rise, and a saying has begun to spread in the basketball world - a product produced by the SuperSonics must be a high-quality product!
The popularity of Bulls players has declined collectively, and some media say Jordan is an overrated selfish player. He took too many shots in the three playoffs after his comeback and was inefficient. Jordan's scoring efficiency is actually not low, and with the Bulls' current lineup, he
If we don’t take more action, who will?
The media doesn't care about this. What many people want is hot news. The winner is king and the loser is the enemy. If Jordan is to blame, blame the Bulls for losing. In the late 1980s, Jordan was criticized and in the early 1990s, Jordan was praised.
And now Black Jordan's, they are actually the same group of people.
Pippen was even worse than Jordan. He almost burst out of anger when he was criticized last season. His annual salary was just over 2 million, which was not as good as Harper, Longley, and Kukoc. But when the team lost, he suffered
Doubts are definitely the most common.
Coach Phil Jackson also received a lot of doubts, and he didn't know how to adjust his tactics.
Is it an adjustment to ask Jordan and Pippen to practice more back-up shooting and try to shoot more accurately?
Or maybe the whole team worked hard to practice three-pointers, but it was useless if they didn't sharpen their guns quickly in the battle? The Bulls had too few three-pointers. Kukoc played 22 minutes and made one three-pointer. Kerr played 10 minutes and didn't score a single point, only one.
assists.
The Bulls had no trump card, but the Sonics didn't try their best.
Everyone knows that Yang Jian's physical fitness can play the entire game, and he has never shown fatigue on the court. Many players will bend down to rest during timeouts, but Yang Jian does not bend at all.
