The Sonics players got a day off and will play against the Knicks away from home on the 11th.
Naomi Watts flew to New York on time to participate in a talk show to promote "Midnight Bell", and by the way, she went to Broadway to listen to a musical with Yang Jian. After the SuperSonics played the Bulls away game on the 13th, the two of them returned together.
Seattle.
Gao Yuanyuan was left to look after her house in Seattle and continued to practice her English and self-care skills. Yang Jian told her that if she wanted to speak English well quickly, she had to go out and practice, and she would improve faster when talking to strangers.
Gao Yuanyuan obeyed Yang Jian's words and wrote down a plan in her notebook. She planned to go out to chat with someone during the day and stay at home to watch original English movies and study at night.
Yang Jian and Naomi met in New York and went to dinner and watch a musical together during the holidays, which made entertainment news.
During the discussion, fans praised Yang Jian for his many hobbies. It was the first time I heard of a star who likes musicals. This immediately put him in a different league from those players who like to go to casinos, nightclubs, and strip clubs.
President David Stern felt even more regretful after reading the news. Yang is perfect as a white man. He is a more gentlemanly star than Grant Hill, but he is just a little too carefree.
On the evening of the 11th, the focus battle of this round began.
The Knicks' lineup ranks among the top three in the league in terms of depth, with multiple stars and various types of players.
Alan Houston and Larry Johnson both averaged 20 points per game, at least before joining the Knicks. After joining, they were guarded by coach Jeff Van Gundy, and the Knicks started with an 18-17 record.
No matter what type of player, under Van Gundy's tactical system, he can become a stand-up type. This is really not something that ordinary coaches can do. The Knicks always fight in positions, and on the offensive end, the players start singles.
In Alan Houston's last season with the Pistons, he averaged 2.3 three-pointers per game, with a three-point shooting percentage of 42.7%. Under Van Gundy's careful guidance, Houston now averages 2.6 outside shots per game, hitting 1 three-pointer, and has a shooting percentage of 38.5.
%.
An outside star who could become the three-point king was suddenly transformed into the "mid-range shooting king" by Van Gundy. Van Gundy also encouraged Houston to hold the ball in the low post and play more in the hope that he could be more comprehensive.
Houston is only 198cm tall and has average jumping ability. Van Gundy actually wants him to gain weight and develop in the direction of Jordan to play fadeaway jumpers.
Van Gundy has never been dismissed and has won the trust of the team's management. With this guy here, no matter how much the Knicks owner spends, he can't even hope to win a championship.
Houston's personal ability is not as good as Yang Jian's. When facing off, he can't use his special skills when he is close to him, and he is beaten miserably.
Star center Ewing also had a hard time facing Anthony Mason Jr.'s single defense. Ewing could no longer run, and his offense mainly relied on turnaround jumpers. Mason played in the Knicks for many years and was familiar with Ewing, so he could resist.
He couldn't enter the penalty area, and Ewing's shooting percentage was not high when he left the penalty area.
Payton had a huge advantage against Charlie Ward. He didn't take many shots on the offensive end and was very efficient, scoring 16 points and 7 assists.
Schrempf has been in great form recently, with a high shooting percentage and better performance than "Big Mom" Larry Johnson.
Barkley was poorly defended against Oakley and only scored 8 points. He was the only Sonics starter who performed poorly.
In the end, the SuperSonics beat the Knicks 116 to 82, beating the Knicks by 34 points on the road.
Knicks fans booed Yang Jian to no avail, and many left the game early after entering garbage time in the final quarter. Yang Jian effortlessly scored a triple-double of 34 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists and 4 steals.
After this game, Yang Jian became the player with the most triple-doubles in the league this season. Players in this era mainly play singles and have a clear division of labor, making it difficult to produce triple-doubles. Yang Jian is the only one who uses a big core style of play.
As long as he rebounds in double figures, he may get a triple-double.
The media published some news on the topic of triple-double. Yang Jian is recognized as the "most versatile player". This season, Yang Jian's blocks have increased to 0.8 per game.
That night, the SuperSonics flew to Chicago, and Naomi Watts took the SuperSonics' special plane.
It is a well-known secret that Yang Jian has more than one girlfriend, and the entertainment media has reported it many times. The newly joined players all think he is awesome because his girlfriends are all popular female stars.
The game between the SuperSonics and the Bulls was not broadcast live across the United States, and Pippen, who was supposed to return in this game, did not return either.
Pippen withdrew because he felt uncomfortable after training. He believed that returning in this game was too risky. It was almost impossible for the Bulls to beat the Sonics. He did not want to use a loss as his comeback game to prove his importance.
Pippen thought about it a little and knew what might happen to him.
When the Bulls won against the Sonics, he came to marry Jordan. Jordan definitely took the most shots and had the best statistics. In losing to the SuperSonics, it's okay that his shooting percentage was high, but other teammates took the blame. Once his shooting percentage is not high, it's okay.
It's over. The one that fans discussed the most after the game was overrated and the one holding Jordan back must be him.
As a result, the Bulls, whose lineup was incomplete, lost 100 to 107 at home to the SuperSonics.
The referee obviously came with a mission this time. As soon as a Sonics player touched Jordan, he would get a free throw. However, Jordan's shooting percentage was not high and he could not lead his teammates.
Jordan played 38 minutes, making 12 of 27 shots, 0 of 2 three-pointers, 16 of 18 free throws, 40 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists, and 5 fouls.
Jordan spent all his energy on the offensive end, and was obviously unable to keep up with Yang Jian's speed in the final quarter. After Yang Jian committed four fouls, he no longer focused on defending Jordan, but instead defended the point guard.
Would the referee dare to let a Bulls role player foul Yang Jian? The two point guards would basically not be able to break through with the ball. On the contrary, if Yang Jian breaks through, the Bulls point guard can only use a foul to stop it. He can still sprint and counterattack in the final quarter.
Yang Jian played 38 minutes, making 9 of 16 shots, 4 of 9 three-pointers, 11 of 12 free throws, and scored 33 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists. His shooting percentage was 56.3%, higher than Jordan's 44.4%.
Only three players from the Bulls scored in double figures, while five from the Sonics scored in double figures. Yang Jian was even more able to drive his teammates.
Barkley was the team's second scoring point, scoring 22 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals, beating Rodman who only had 4 points, 14 rebounds and 5 assists.
At this point, the SuperSonics swept the Bulls in two games during the regular season.
Jordan's mentality was a bit broken, and he did not shake hands with his opponents or talk to his teammates when he left the field.
The person undercover was backup guard Steve Kerr. He played 21 minutes, made 2 of 8 shots, 1 of 5 three-pointers, and scored 5 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists. Cole’s badness cannot be reflected by statistics. Yang Jianzhu
After guarding him for several rounds, he hit Cole three times in a misplaced counterattack. Cole didn't even foul, allowing Yang Jian to easily pass by or shoot a jump shot against him.
The Bulls were leading by 5 points in the final quarter. Yang Jian scored 7 consecutive points to take the lead. After that, the Bulls were beaten. In the second half of the final quarter, Cole never played again and sat steadily on the sidelines guarding the water fountain. His expression was quite good.
Cool, with the hair style it looks like a Terminator T1000.
Judging by his expression, you would never guess that this guy is an undercover agent of his opponent.
Yang Jian was interviewed and was asked by reporters about the team's winning streak. "How many consecutive wins do you think the SuperSonics can achieve this time?"
"I don't know. I don't even analyze the schedule right now. I just play when there are games. It doesn't matter whether we win or lose. But I think it will be difficult for us to lose."
If Yang Jian doesn't analyze it, the media will help analyze it.
After defeating the Bulls, as long as they beat the Heat again, the Sonics will have another simple schedule. Experts generally believe that the Sonics will break last season's winning streak, and it is almost certain that they will break the historical record of the regular season.
The biggest news highlight after the game was that many fans once again criticized Pippen.
There were previous reports that Pippen had participated in team training, but he did not play in the game against the Sonics. The Bulls only lost by 7 points, which is not much. Many fans felt that as long as Pippen played and scored more than 10 points, the game would be lost.
Should have won.
In the eyes of some people, winning or losing is the sum of a player's average data per game, without looking at on-the-field performance. Pippen has been off for such a long time, and many people think that he does not need time to adapt and can average the same per-game data as last season on the field.
In short, Bulls fans hate Pippen now and wish he would leave immediately...
