Chapter 44 [Swing arm big loop, 18 points in a single section]
"Jamil Watson is on the court. He is a swingman over two meters tall and relatively fast. He must be coming to defend Young." Shelton introduced.
Plummer said: "Hornacek also played. Sloan knew that he couldn't guard Yang, but he couldn't let him sit on the bench all the time. You can't just let him play for a while for the whole game, right? With Yang's physical fitness, he can play for 35 minutes.
The above should be stress-free.”
Jamil is 201cm tall and weighs only 86kg. He is a very thin black player. He was selected by the Jazz with the 20th pick in the second round in 1994. He played in 61 games last season and scored 3.3 points, 1.2 rebounds and 1 assist in 11.2 minutes.
Jameel's advantage lies in his flexibility. He can only play the No. 2 position and is terrible at small forward. When he encounters opponents, he can easily become a "colander" on the court by relying on his strength and back-up play. In terms of offense, Jameel can do everything.
, the type who is not good at anything is nothing to be afraid of.
Sloan's defensive adjustments are still very targeted. He bets that Yang Jian cannot post-up as efficiently as Jordan. Yang Jian's height in shoes is 193cm, which is not a height suitable for post-up. Regardless of summer league, preseason or
In this game, the focus is on face-to-face offense.
In addition, Sloan also replaced Stockton to rest, and Hornacek played point guard. Hornacek has good organizational skills, and his height and weight are not disadvantaged in defending Payton.
George Karl also made adjustments. Schrempf took a rest and substitute forward Vincent Askew came on. Yang Jian's help to the team is not only the superficial data, but also allows the coaching staff to have more knowledge.
Try another person.
The coaching staff discovered the Sonics' weaknesses during the preseason. The three major stars and Yang Jian played very strong together, and the gap between the strength of the substitute lineup and the starting lineup was too big. In the second quarter, the Sonics lacked stable firepower and were always chased by their opponents for points.
The presence of Payton and Yang Jian can guarantee the offensive power. Schrempf takes a break and takes the bench, and someone will take the main attack in the second quarter. If Perkins and Kemp, who took a break, also play, if the Jazz sends a group
80% of the substitutes will be passive.
George Karl didn't want to replace Yang Jian. He knew that Yang Jian was not good at holding the ball and attacking, and he could better display his strength when playing with Payton. Moreover, Yang Jian's physical strength was the best in the team, and he would not get tired after playing the entire quarter.
The game continues and the SuperSonics foul ball is taken.
Payton and P.J. Brown played a pick-and-roll, broke out to the left to attract inside defense and then passed the ball to the bottom corner. Perkins' jumper missed a three-pointer, and Benoit grabbed the rebound.
Perkins really wanted to perform today but didn't feel good. He was under a lot of pressure in the preseason. This season, he is the second-highest paid player in the Sonics, but his status in the team has been ranked outside the top five. The coaching staff
I am more optimistic about PJ Brown's defensive role, and Perkins can only play as a substitute.
Hornacek dribbled the ball across half court and played a pick-and-roll with Keefe, bringing it to the right and passing it to Malone in the low post. He pulled away from the bottom corner, and Benoit was also outside the three-point line, forming a triangle.
This kind of one-on-one routine is not unique to the triangle offense. All teams can do it. It is the simplest formation to create opportunities for stars. If the players on the wings and baselines double-team the singles star in the low post, they can shoot the ball.
Three points.
pj Brown obviously couldn't withstand Malone. Perkins stepped forward to double-team. Malone made two behind-the-back dribbles and passed the ball between the two. Kife caught the ball from the right and scored, 26 to 17.
Jameel was full of energy after coming on the field, and his defensive method was the same as Chris's. He kept getting close to the ball, making it difficult for Yang Jian to catch the ball.
Yang Jian opened up on the outside to create opportunities for Payton. The simplest method was singles. Payton singled out Hornacek, turned and missed the jumper.
Payton taught Yang Jian to post up in the team, but Yang Jian didn't want to use this technique at all. Post-up play from guards was only seen frequently in the 1990s, and it was simply evil. It is difficult for people who are less than two meters tall to play from the back.
Efficient offense.
If Payton doesn't change his offensive method, taking too many shots is not a good thing for the team. He takes the position of the inside player, his scoring efficiency is not as good as that of the big man, and he can't draw a few fouls.
The Jazz's offense also encountered an embarrassing situation. As soon as Stockton came off the court, it was difficult for the defender to carry the ball across half court. Payton forced Hornacek to pass the ball, and Yang Jian also pressed Jamil closely in the frontcourt.
Jameel couldn't hit Yang Jian despite his height advantage, and he couldn't get away with his speed, so he almost made a mistake dribbling. In the end, Bennot dribbled the ball across the half court, which consumed a lot of time. After passing the ball a few more times, 24 seconds was almost over.
The Jazz players did not create any good shooting opportunities, and Malone forced a jumper and missed.
The home fans continued to cheer for the Jazz players, but after Kemp came off the court, the Jazz's offense was still not smooth enough. Many fans began to become a little pessimistic. How could such a Jazz team win the championship? Let alone defeat the Super Bulls led by Jordan, the Jazz wanted to
Breaking through in the west is difficult.
The Rockets, SuperSonics, Spurs, and Lakers all look worse than the Jazz. With Yang Jian, the Sonics seem to have a better chance of competing for the championship.
As the SuperSonics attacked, Yang Jian continued to be severely guarded. Payton passed the ball to him, and Kife and Jameel came up to double-team. He tried to pass to P.J. Brown but failed to find an opening, and passed it to Payton who was in charge.
Payton missed the opportunity when he tried to pass P.J. Brown again. Compared with football games, the basketball court is too small and the opportunity is fleeting. Payton wanted to challenge Hornacek but was also double-teamed. The ball was passed out and Askew was open.
Missed a three-point jump shot.
After this season, the SuperSonics will definitely not renew Askew's contract. His jump shot is very unstable, and his annual salary of 1.8 million is not low in this era. His position in the team is very embarrassing, and the same price exceeds
The Sonics could sign a free agent who is good at shooting.
Keefe grabbed a backcourt rebound and tried to pass it to Hornacek but found that he was entangled by Payton.
Kife made a move and was forced by Perkins, and hurriedly passed the ball to Jamil. Yang Jian started inside the 60-degree three-point line on the right side, saw the opportunity, accelerated forward, and made a clean interception on the passing route.
The ball was successful.
After stealing the ball, Yang Jian rushed up, and Kife quickly blocked his breakthrough route, fearing that he would dunk again.
Yang Jian changed direction and jumped to the middle while running, and passed the ball from Kife's side to Perkins on the left at close range. Perkins easily scored on the board, but Kife turned around and had no time to defend. 28 vs.
17.
This is Yang Jian's second assist of the game, both of which were passed to teammates inside.
He feels that it is easier to assist in the regular season than in the summer league. It is not that his passing awareness has become better, but that the Jazz has strengthened its defense against him, leaving obvious gaps. As long as Yang Jian is not unique and has to take shots, then
Can assist teammates.
The Jazz attacked, and the inside players screened at halftime. Hornacek got rid of Payton and hit a three-pointer. 28 to 20.
This shot was a miss, not a tactic often used by Jazz players. The Sonics' inside players were too far back, and Hornacek had no other characteristics except that he shot accurately and relied on his basic skills to become a star.
When the Supersonics attacked, Yang Jian slipped from the right corner to the baseline, ran to the left side, quickly circled around without stopping, and then returned to the right side at 60 degrees. He stopped looking for a cover, leaned against Jamil with his back, and headed towards Pei
Dun reached out for the ball.
Payton saw the opportunity and passed the ball. Yang Jian played so well in the first quarter, and he also wanted to see how many points he could score in a single quarter. Although Yang Jian has average breakthrough ability, he is not unable to attack with the ball.
, he had a dirty trick that caught Payton many times when he was on defense.
After receiving the ball, Yang Jian quickly turned around, took the ball with both hands and bumped into Jamil's arm while jumping up. His arm made a shooting motion and the ball was knocked away. The referee immediately blew the whistle for a defensive foul.
Jamil was confused, what happened?
Yang Jian's skill in drawing fouls is exactly the future "God of Death" Durant's unique skill - the big swinging loop!
This trick is not original to Durant, but he uses it the most and best. The key points of this technique are that the ball holder's arm should be long, the turn should be fast, and the opponent should be close to the opponent. The player sees the right moment and swings his arm to make the move.
If the shooting motion hits the defender's arm, the referee will usually call the defender a foul.
Even if the defender did not do it unintentionally, it is not easy to continue fighting.
Yang Jian knew all the key points of using this move. He had specially practiced it when he was dueling with Snow in the summer, and it could have an unexpected effect. Payton was hit without any precautions, let alone an unknown person like Jamil?
30 to 20, Yang Jian made two free throws amidst the enthusiastic boos of the home fans, scoring 18 points in a single quarter.
