At the end of the game, Yang Jian heard the system prompt again.
"The host changed the history of NBA stars and surpassed All-Star player Elgin Baylor to become the record holder for the highest points scored in a single game in the NBA Finals. The host gained attribute points 1."
This is a very cruel thing. The "King of Eight Asia" Baylor's only record of ranking first in history was broken by Yang Jian. He became second in the finals scoring list.
In addition, Yang Jian's 63 points tied Jordan's player scoring record in a single game in the playoffs. He did not gain attribute points, so he probably had to surpass it.
He will definitely be rated higher than Jordan, because Jordan lost the 63-point game against the Celtics. Moreover, Jordan played double overtime and scored 63 points in 53 minutes, while Yang Jian only played 36 minutes.
Yang Jian's shooting percentage was also much higher, 22 of 33 shots, 6 of 12 three-pointers, 13 of 13 free throws, 63 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals.
Zhang Liji said: "Yang Jian locked up FMVP in the first game. It is impossible for his teammates to compete with him. No one else can even score 20 points."
Sun Zhengping said: "Yang Jian's performance every season is incredible. You think he has reached the peak of his career, but he can still improve next season."
Zhang Lijia said: "This is already the sixth time in his career that he has reached 60. The number of times he has reached 60 in his career has surpassed Jordan's five times. The only person ahead of him is Chamberlain who has reached 60 32 times."
Sun Zhengping smiled and said: "Chamberlain's data is too watery and there is nothing to compare it with."
Chamberlain's water quality can be fully reflected from the statistics. All 32 of his 60 times were obtained against weak teams in the regular season, and the highest point in the playoffs was only 56 points. He only had 50 points twice in the playoffs in his entire career, and they were against the same team.
A team played.
On March 22, 1962, the Philadelphia Warriors played against the Syracuse Nationals. As the most unstoppable scorer at the center position, Chamberlain scored 56 points with a 45.8% shooting rate.
A person who loves scoring and is crazy about pursuing statistics doesn't want to score in the playoffs and wants to do something else. There is absolutely no logic in what Chamberlain said. Only a fool would believe it.
After Yang Jian took a break, Larry Bird also replaced all the main players. The players continued to play only to brush up their statistics, and the Pacers had already suffered a complete defeat.
With a final score of 117 to 92, the SuperSonics got off to a good start at home in the most shocking way.
Yang Jian walked onto the court, waving around and enjoying the cheers and cheers of the fans. He did not need to wait to win the cup, he had already proved that he was the strongest player and the winner in the first game.
Not only did he suppress his opponents, he also overshadowed his teammates.
Payton scored 13 points, 2 rebounds, 14 assists and 2 steals, and Barkley had 16 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists. Both of them are Yang Jian's foils, not stars of the same level.
After the game, the Pacers first accepted interviews with the media.
The reporters focused on interviewing coach Larry Bird. He is the only player who has experienced two players scoring 60 points in the playoffs. He was a player against the Bulls in 1986.
Unfortunately, Larry Bird was the record-breaker's opponent in both games and was the most famous backdrop.
Larry Bird said: "Young is better than Jordan. His 85 points in a single game in the regular season is the most terrifying scoring performance in history. Now, he has proven that he can also score super high points in the finals."
The reporter asked: "The Pacers' defense was not good today. What do you think is the main problem?"
"This is not a problem with our players. No team has completely restricted Guo Yang's performance throughout the season. He can put the ball into the basket in various positions and use various techniques, and he can also send wonderful passes to assist teammates. I think
He will be the No. 1 player in the league in ten years, he will be unstoppable."
Larry Bird can be said to have simply admitted defeat. He couldn't restrict Yang Jian, and the Pacers' lineup was doomed. Even the Bulls with Pippen couldn't beat the SuperSonics, not to mention the Pacers' wing defense.
weakness?
Pacers star was interviewed. Reggie Miller awkwardly talked about his career-high 42 points, and was asked, "Have you ever talked trash to Yang Jian?"
Miller sighed: "I can't talk trash to Yang. Against him, he might get rid of you as soon as you open your mouth. I have to follow him with all my concentration." (Not yet)
He was holding his breath to chase Yang Jian, so why did he talk trash? Yang Jian was too fast, and he had no chance to finish his words. He couldn't think of any good words to sarcastically mock Yang Jian, and the other party didn't mock him.
That’s pretty good.
As for swearing, Miller doubted whether Yang Jian could understand those American slang words. He tried it in the first season, but Yang Jian didn't care.
The reporter asked: "As Jordan's old rival, who do you think is stronger, Yang or Jordan?"
"Do you even need to ask? Of course Yang is better. I am happy to defend Jordan and can compete with him. But to defend Yang, I think it is a kind of torture." Miller sighed.
He felt that there was nothing he could not say, and there was no suspense in the finals anyway. It was not shameful for him to lose to Yang Jian, because everyone had lost. He felt that he could never beat Yang Jian in his life, and his personal ability was not at the same level.
The team's second-in-command Rick Schmitz was interviewed, but he didn't know how to answer the questions and could only muddle through.
People think that Schmitz is the Pacers' number one defensive black hole. He can only defend near the penalty area. If he goes out, he will be passed by defenders. Moreover, he guards the basket and cannot rebound the Sonics' short inside man.
People were shocked.
Schmitz's poor mobility and ordinary confrontation ability have prevented him from taking off the label of "soft guy". The coaching staff does not have to worry about how to allocate his physical strength reasonably, and can only reduce his playing time.
When the Sonics were interviewed later, Yang Jian was the only focus.
He talked about his feelings and said: "I'm glad that I finally proved my scoring ability in the playoffs, otherwise some people would think that I can only score high points in the regular season."
He said this deliberately to criticize those who like to criticize him. In fact, scoring 40 points in the playoffs is quite a lot. If he is an American player, he will be wildly praised for every game he plays.
Grant Hill, who has always been highly praised by the league, had a highest score of 28 points in a single game in the playoffs and lost. Pippen, who has long occupied the best small forward position in the league, had a highest score of 32 points in a single game in the playoffs.
The reporter asked: "You broke the historical scoring record in a single game in the finals. How do you feel about this?"
"I often break records, so I don't have any special feelings. If I play one more minute, I might even be able to hold the single-game scoring record in the playoffs. My condition today is very good, and I will continue to take shots and score with confidence," Yang Jian said with a smile.
.
The reporter asked: "Then why didn't you continue to fight?"
"Because I am leading so much, there is no suspense in the game. This is only the third season of my career. There will be many opportunities to break the record, so there is no need to rush."
The reporter asked: "How many points do you think your limit is?"
"I don't know, it depends on how many overtimes I can play with my opponent. I rarely play overtimes since I entered the league. If I play 50 minutes, maybe I will score 70 in the next game. My playing time is too short.
Yes, actually I really want to play the whole game and have the physical strength to play the whole game.”
The reporter asked: "Reggie Miller also scored 42 points today. How do you evaluate him?"
Yang Jian replied: "An excellent shooter and an interesting opponent."
He doesn't mind giving Miller a few compliments, and no one will think that Miller can beat him. If he doesn't show off, Miller won't be able to perform so well in the next game.
Yang Jian also commented on the coach and teammates, and thanked his teammates for their cooperation. If his teammates did not help him create offensive opportunities, he would not have scored so many points. During the counterattack, they played more tacitly.
The reporter asked: "Many people say that this year's SuperSonics is the strongest team in history. What do you think?"
"Yes, we are the strongest, I think so too." Yang Jian thought this was nonsense, and the record proved everything.
George Karl and several stars also praised Yang Jian, and Payton asked him to treat him to a big dinner tomorrow.
Everyone said that with Yang Jian here, the SuperSonics would win.
