When the Pacers attacked, Mark Jackson passed to power forward Dale Davis in the low post on the left. The latter pushed Barkley with his back but couldn't get it away, and then passed to the outside to Reggie Miller who was running.
Miller didn't have an easy chance to shoot on the left side, and Yang Jian chased him out. Miller used the spherical frame to feint and change directions to break through the middle. After taking two steps, Yang Jian caught him again.
Then Miller had no choice. He couldn't squeeze out of Yang Jian with his strength, and he couldn't get away with his speed. He only had two options: passing the ball and forcing a pull-up, or even just passing the ball, because he couldn't jump after being stuck.
If the rhythm is not good, it will be seriously disturbed.
Yang Jian's defense reminded Miller of Jordan at his peak. He was even faster than Jordan, which made people feel desperate.
If a player can only make strong shots against the defense throughout the game, how can his shooting percentage be so high? If the Pacers want to win, they need Miller to have a high scoring efficiency, but he knows that he can't do that against Yang Jian.
Miller passed the ball to Jackson, and Jackson passed it to Dale Davis. This time Davis played it himself, singled out Barkley in the low post and turned around to shoot and hit the ball under interference. 7 to 4.
Dale Davis is 211cm tall and weighs 104 kilograms. He has an obvious height advantage. He has a good chance to challenge Barkley alone, at least he will not be easily blocked.
In the SuperSonics position battle, Yang Jian got the ball as soon as he passed half court, and Mason went to the three-point line to set a screen for him.
Yang Jian caught the ball and quickly moved sideways to the right side. He dragged the ball back to his left hand with his right hand. He paused slightly while holding the ball with his left hand, then made a fake move to attract Dale Davis to defend him. He held the ball with his left hand and changed direction again.
Take the right path and break through successfully.
Yang Jian's first step was too fast for Davis to keep up. Miller was also a step too late to catch up to the basket and block the shot. Yang Jian jumped high and picked up the basket with his right hand to score. 9 to 4.
Zhang Liji said: "Yang Jian showed off his power at the beginning, scoring 7 points on 3-of-3 shooting. He jumped out to whoever he saw."
Sun Zhengping said: "The Pacers' defensive weaknesses are too obvious. Miller is not fast enough. There is no swingman in the team who can keep up with Yang Jian's speed."
When the Pacers attacked, Miller ran around in circles without the ball. Even after finding two big men to cover him, he couldn't get rid of Yang Jian. He got the ball and was pressed against him. Yang Jian reacted too quickly and could find the best way around him at a glance.
A second look at the route of the cover can predict Miller's next move.
Miller had no chance to make a shot on the left side, so he turned around and lobbed the ball to Schmitz in the low post on the left. Schmitz singled out Mason, leaned toward the baseline, turned around and made a jump shot. 9 to 6.
As a template for future Yao Ming drafts, Schmitz does have many similarities with Yao Ming. They both have excellent shooting touch.
When the SuperSonics attacked, Yang Jian slid down the baseline on the left side, and Barkley blocked Miller. Payton passed the ball to the right corner. This time, Yang Jian caught the ball without feinting and threw it. Miller had a heavier center of gravity when chasing after him.
Low, I saw him taking off after a dry pull and not being able to cover him.
Miller is 198cm taller than Yang Jian, and his bounce is much worse, with a wingspan of only 203cm. As long as he jumps back, he can't block Yang Jian's shot, but he doesn't dare to take off early.
Miller was passed several times in a row, and Yang Jian concluded that he did not dare to focus too high when pursuing defense.
Yang Jian was very well prepared, the rhythm of his shot was perfect, and the ball hit the net! 12 to 6.
Zhang Lili said: "Yang Jian scored 10 points in the opening game. Larry Bird didn't call a timeout yet. Are you ready to challenge the power of 'Yang' in the first quarter?"
Sun Zhengping said with a smile: "I guess Bird felt that he couldn't defend well even if he changed players. Miller actually defended well, and Yang Jian was able to hit the shot when he faced the opponent."
When the Pacers attacked, Reggie Miller looked for a cover and finally got rid of Yang Jian once, but when he caught the ball, he found that Barkley had switched defenses. He still couldn't make an easy shot. Miller lobbed the ball to Dale Davis, but Yang Jian failed to catch up.
, directly defend in the low position.
Davis was out of position when he singled out Yang Jian. He leaned twice but failed to push him away and enter the penalty area.
Davis was riding a tiger and couldn't get off. He was a head taller than Yang Jian and it would be a shame if he couldn't hit him. He chose to hold the ball and forcefully turned around to shoot. The distance was a bit far and he missed due to Yang Jian's interference.
Davis is a blue-collar insider who mainly plays two positions. He has excellent jumping ability and is not accurate in shooting except in the penalty area. Yang Jian has studied the characteristics of all the Pacers players. This round, he deliberately switched defenses to lure Davis into a single. He is confident of defending against him.
live.
In the past, Yang Jian was able to duel Kemp in a duel. He had a way to fight against tall and lanky insiders. He was at a disadvantage due to his height. He used his elbows in the low post to defend the big man, and no referee would call him a foul.
Mason got stuck and grabbed the backcourt rebound and immediately passed it to Yang Jian. Yang Jian pushed forward from the middle, held the ball with his left hand in front of the three-point line, changed direction to the right and passed Davis.
Davis saw Yang Jian rushing towards him and ran back at full speed. He turned around in front of the three-point line and saw Yang Jian coming to him. He only had time to reach out and steal it. His movements were similar to Maguire of Manchester United in football."
It's almost like "turning the aircraft carrier around". The center of gravity is so high that it's weird if you can grab the ball. It doesn't matter whether you reach out or not, the result is the same.
After Yang Jian passed by, he went 2-on-1 with Barkley. Only Miller followed Barkley. Yang Jian knew that Barkley could score but did not pass the ball. He made a jump shot at 50 degrees and made a solid mid-range shot. 14 to 6.
"Drink!" Yang Jian roared again, and Larry Bird asked for a timeout.
Zhang Lijia sighed: "Yang Jian made 5 of 5 shots in the opening game and scored 12 points. His counterattack is simply unstoppable. If the big man is out of position and cannot be defended, he will definitely be passed."
Sun Zhengping said: "Moreover, he has too many scoring methods and different shooting distances. He is really stable."
When he came off the court, Barkley high-fived Yang Jian to celebrate. He felt so happy. He never knew that the finals could be so easy. He would definitely get the ring when he watched Yang Jian perform on the court.
Barkley was not depressed that Yang Jian didn't pass the ball, because he knew that Yang Jian would definitely make the shot, which would be more reliable than if he beat Miller hard. He might get fouled if he beat Miller hard, and Yang Jian's shot would be uninterrupted.
Larry Bird chose to replace the soybean Mullin and replaced him with Jaylen Rose, who is 203cm tall and weighs 95kg.
Rose is currently the Pacers' swingman with the best physical fitness, and is the famous outside core of Michigan's Five Tigers in the NCAA.
His father's name is Jimmy Walker, who was the first overall pick selected by the Detroit Pistons in 1967. Although Gerros has never met his father and has not received help from his father, it does not prevent him from creating his own
legend.
In a parallel world, Rose created a legend with the Raptors. He spent most of his time guarding Kobe... and his opponent scored 81 points.
When Yang Jian walked onto the court, he smiled when he saw that he was going to face Rose. He felt that this would be some kind of omen. Facing this person, he felt that his shooting would be more accurate, but he just needed to be careful with his steps.
In a parallel world, the Pacers reached the Finals in 2000. Jaylen Rose stepped on and injured Kobe. This incident paved the way for the 81 points in the future.
If Jaylen Rose steps on Yang Jian, then this guy probably wants to die.
The game continues, Yang Jian is still mainly defending Reggie Miller. During the counterattack, he will grab Miller and hit him, and the opponent will not be able to escape even if he wants to.
The Pacers players moved the ball back and forth but could not create any openings. Mark Jackson forced a breakthrough into the crowd and passed it to Schmitz in the middle. Schmitz took the ball and shot, but missed due to interference from Mason.
Schrempf grabbed the backcourt rebound and passed it to Payton. Payton advanced to the frontcourt for a 2-on-2 pass and passed it to Yang Jian. It was no different from before the timeout. Yang Jian got another one-on-one with Miller on the left.
opportunity.
Jaylen Rose chased back with all his strength in the middle, and it was difficult to double-team. Yang Jian held the ball, calculated the distance, stepped first with his left foot and then his right foot, and used a European step to pass Miller.
Miller couldn't bear it and committed a foul. As a result, he lacked upper body strength and was unable to pull the ball. Yang Jian tilted his body to pick up the basket and scored. The referee's whistle sounded again, 21.
Yang Jian clenched his fists and roared as he went to the free throw line. The home fans had already started chanting "mvp"!
Yang Jian made an extra free throw, 17-6.
Zhang Lili sighed: "Yang Jian scored his 15th point. He is going crazy today. If he doesn't pass the ball, he just plays it himself."
Sun Zhengping laughed and said: "I think he will definitely not only score 50 points today, Miller will become the backdrop."
During the dead ball period, Larry Bird replaced Miller, and Mullin, who had just rested for a while, returned to the court.
The Pacers don't have many swingmen at their disposal, and everyone can see that they can't handle it...
