Chapter 456 [Completely rest assured, 35 consecutive victories]

After dinner, Gao Yuanyuan made a long-distance call to her parents to report that she was safe, and did not hide the fact that she was staying at Yang Jian's house.

Gao Yuanyuan didn't think there was anything wrong with accepting Yang Jian as her brother. She was only excited. After she explained the situation, her parents were also very happy and encouraged her to study English well and not to disappoint Yang Jian.

It sounds unethical for a daughter to live in a man's house as soon as she arrives abroad, but it depends on who the man is. What Gao Yuanyuan's family is worried about is not that Yang Jian treats her well, but that she will not be treated well by Yang Jian after she arrives in the United States.

Ask, arrange a random place to live and let her fend for herself.

A girl who can't even speak English well leaves home for the first time and goes to the United States. How much hardship will she have to endure without a backing? How can parents be relieved? Who knows what she will encounter outside? They can't do anything if something goes wrong.

Go abroad to help immediately.

Yang Jian is very kind to Gao Yuanyuan, and her parents are completely relieved. This means that she will not suffer a lot in the United States and have no one to rely on, and she may become an international superstar in the future.

Being a "sister" to a billionaire, even if the rich man's purpose is not that simple, countless people will yearn for it. What's more, Yang Jian is a young, handsome guy and a superstar?

As long as Gao Yuanyuan gets to know him well, she will be the most envied girl in China. Now there are many people in the entertainment industry who are jealous of her and curse her for being unlucky in the United States. In China, her self-confidence is better than her acting skills.

There are so many beautiful people like her.

On January 3, the SuperSonics defeated the 76ers 101-73 at home and achieved their 31st consecutive victory.

Yang Jian only played 29 minutes, making 10 of 14 shots, 4 of 7 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 28 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists, and 2 steals.

Five members of the Sonics team scored in double figures, and no one played more than 30 minutes. The game entered garbage time early.

The 76ers core point guard Allen Iverson played 24 minutes, making 3 of 9 shots, 0 of 1 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He only scored 8 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists.

He felt lacking in energy when facing Payton and was suppressed for the entire game.

Iverson is faster than Payton. He can get rid of him in pick-and-rolls, but it is difficult to get easy shooting opportunities.

Sonics players have to defend Yang Jian's breakthrough during team training. The wing and inside players all have experience guarding fast defenders. They predict the defender's actions more accurately, and there is always someone nearby to help defend. Iverson is too short.

It's definitely not possible to take action by force, you can only be forced to be selfless.

Yang Jian did not let up on the defensive end this time. He defended Jim Jackson on 3 of 12 shots, 0 of 2 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He only scored 8 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 assists, and had the most 6 turnovers in the game.

The best performance of the 76ers was the newly acquired players. The 76ers manager sent Jerry Stackhouse to the Pistons in exchange for center Theo Ratliff, shooting guard Aaron McGee and a few other players.

After joining, these two people immediately became Iverson's right-hand men, and the 76ers obviously made a profit.

After Stackhouse joined the Pistons, his data declined. His and Grant Hill's positions overlapped, and only one of them could hold the ball and attack. Stackhouse was an inefficient scorer, the kind who dared to keep throwing even if he couldn't make a shot.

, the coach will not let him play blindly.

If Hill hadn't left the Pistons, Stackhouse might never have been able to get ahead.

That night, the SuperSonics flew to Vancouver to face the underdog Grizzlies in back-to-back games.

Gao Yuanyuan saw the hardships of NBA players for the first time. They had just finished the game and had no time to rest before going out of town to play abroad.

NBA players have to fly to away games many times every year, without exception. And there are many back-to-back games. The team leaves at night, checks into the hotel, sleeps and plays the game the next day.

This is not a schedule that ordinary people can endure, and lack of rest will definitely affect their condition. The players have just finished a game, their muscles are tight and their spirits are in a state of excitement, making it difficult to sleep well.

After a long winning streak, the mental state of the Sonics players has reached a critical point. The game against the Grizzlies was a good opportunity for them to reduce pressure. Everyone on the defensive end was let go, and the victory was won at the last moment of the final quarter.

Lost, won 122 to 113.

Yang Jian played 38 minutes, making 12 of 16 shots, 5 of 5 three-pointers, 7 of 7 free throws, scoring 36 points, 2 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals.

Yang Jian did not have the highest shooting percentage on the team. Schrempf made 10 of 12 shots, 2 of 2 three-pointers, and scored 22 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal.

Payton also broke out, making 6 of 10 shots, 3 of 4 three-pointers, 3 of 4 free throws, scoring 18 points, 11 assists and 4 steals.

The Grizzlies players' shooting percentage is also very high, and the SuperSonics defense is full of loopholes.

The outside core Ray Allen scored 32 points and shot 71.4% from the field, but he was particularly helpless when defending Yang Jian. Everyone could see that Yang Jian was just playing around with Ray Allen and did not defend seriously.

Sam Mack, a small forward who entered the NBA out of the draft, scored 21 points and shot 64.3% from the field. This was considered one of his career masterpieces. Yang Jian did not remember such a person in his previous life.

Grizzlies center Bryant Reeves' big contract may be lost to Yang Jian.

He is 213cm tall and weighs 125kg. His ability to defend against pick-and-rolls is terrible. Either he changes defense slowly and allows the opponent's defender to catch the ball easily, or he is misplaced by the defender and passes by him. On the defensive end, he can only stay near the penalty area and lacks explosiveness.

Not good at rebounding and blocking shots.

If the Grizzlies still extend Levi's contract with a high salary in the summer, the team manager will definitely be mentally ill.

On January 6, the SuperSonics played against the Hornets at home and won 131 to 113.

The Hornets' offense is good, but their defense is full of loopholes. Coach Dave Cowens likes to send dual defenders Trill Brandon and David Wesley to strengthen the offense at certain times, allowing Wesley to play 2

Number position.

Even if two small guards weren't playing together, Dell Curry couldn't guard Yang Jian, and his defense was getting worse and worse.

In a parallel world, the Hornets' lineup is more reasonable. They signed Bobby Fiers, a shooting guard who is good at defense, in the free market in the summer. They have defensive cores both inside and outside. Now they have traded away Mason and have not signed Felipe.

Bolton has 16 wins and 17 losses this season, barely ranking seventh in the Eastern Conference.

On the 8th, the SuperSonics played against the Cavaliers away from home and won easily.

The SuperSonics let the game enter garbage time in the third quarter. Yang Jian, Payton, and Barkley scored 20, and 6 people on the team scored in double figures, crushing the Cavaliers.

"Rain Man" Sean Kemp played 29 minutes for the Cavaliers, making 2 of 11 shots, 5 of 8 free throws, 9 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, and 3 turnovers. His shooting percentage was only 18.2.

%, everyone is undercover.

In the first two seasons, some "experts" said that Kemp was a real asset to the Sonics and that the Sonics would be doomed if he did not renew his contract. Now these "experts" are saying that Kemp has no self-discipline, his condition has seriously declined, and he praises people and black people.

It's all them.

After Kemp joined the Cavaliers, he averaged 189 points per game, which was pretty good, but his field goal percentage was only 44.6%, which was more than 10% lower than last season. Kemp's performance was very unstable. The only stable things were his turnovers and fouls.

number.

The Cavaliers management sadly discovered that Kemp did not like training and had no desire to win. He was very lazy on and off the court and was not a qualified boss at all.

His offensive ability with the ball is average, and he is prone to making mistakes when catching the ball. He is a "butter hand". Such a player's salary is as high as Yang Jian, so giving him a high-paying long-term contract is definitely a loss.

Kemp, who holds two championship rings, is even more depraved than in the parallel world. He is too lazy to defend on the defensive end.

The worse Kemp's performance is, the better Yang Jian is. Kemp's best second team last season was obviously fed by Yang Jian. The Cavaliers do not have such a strong defender.

In back-to-back away games against the underdog Celtics, the Sonics won by 20 points.

Payton defended Billups, who made 1 of 10 shots from the field, teaching the third overall pick a lesson. Yang Jian also beat Ron Mercer, who couldn't let him go even if he wanted to.

Messer's ability to become a high-draft pick relies on his excellent NCAA record, and his physical fitness is not outstanding.

As a student, Mercer was very famous. He won the honor of Mr. Basketball twice in high school and was more famous than Garnett and Marbury. At the University of Kentucky, this guy was still dazzling and helped the team win the championship in his first year.

Win the NCAA championship.

Mercer was in trouble when he entered the NBA. He had almost no three-pointers or breakthroughs, and his mid-range shooting was crazy.

After this game, the Sonics have won 35 consecutive games...
