The reason why Yang Jian chose to score points against the Nets is because this is a bad team that is rebuilding and has strong offense and weak defense.
Yang Jian is now averaging 36.2 points per game, hitting 4.8 three-pointers, shooting 53.8% from the field and 44.1% from the three-point range. Even so, he is still not satisfied with his performance because his scoring average does not exceed Jordan's.
of 37.1 points.
There are only the last four games left in the regular season, and Yang Jian wants to work hard to see if he can exceed 37.1 points. There will not be much controversy for him to score points at the end this year, because he has no opponent at all in the scoring list, and Ai is ranked second.
Ferson's data declined in the second half, only 26.8 points.
Instead of competing with others for the scoring title this season, he wants to challenge his own limits. What's the problem?
Chamberlain can average more than 48 minutes per game during the season, and Jordan often plays in garbage time. To him, he has to get off work in three quarters?
Jordan played a lot in the 1986-87 season, averaging 40 minutes per game, taking 27.8 shots, and leading the league in free throws at 11.9 per game. However, the Bulls only won 40 games that season, and Jordan often did not rest during garbage time.
The most important thing is that Yang Jian has the conditions to score points, because at the end of the shortened season, many opponents have lost their motivation. A bad team like the Nets with 13 wins and 34 losses is ranked second to last in the Eastern Conference, and the players have long been gone.
Fighting spirit.
Since Stephon Marbury was traded to the Nets, he has often led the team to score more than 100 points and lose games. Neither point guard Marbury nor shooting guard Corey Kidders is good at defense.
The strength of the Nets is not as good as that of the parallel world. They lack a forward who can score. Keith Van Horn is in the Nuggets. What remains unchanged is that the Nets management renewed the contract of center Jason Williams, who played 30 games.
It was reimbursed after one game.
Jason Williams, who has the same name as "White Chocolate", entered the NBA with the 21st pick in the first round of 1990. He was the biggest free agent besides Jordan in the summer of 1998. The big name mentioned here is not the strength, but the contract amount.
Last season, Jason averaged 12.9 points and 13.6 rebounds per game and shot 49.8% from the field. The Nets manager was so confused that he actually gave Jason a six-year, $85.8 million contract, which was the highest free agent contract this year.
The Nets manager ignored how low Jason's previous shooting percentage was and focused on the double-double data. He had five seasons with a shooting percentage of less than 45%, and seven consecutive seasons with a true shooting percentage of less than 50%.
To put it bluntly, this is a blue-collar guy with no shooting range who can only grab rebounds and score at the basket. He is 206cm tall, weighs 109kg, has average jumping, average wingspan, and is not good at blocking shots. On the offensive end, he breaks through, shoots, and supports.
He has absolutely no ability to pass the ball, etc.
At this time, the Nets management did not realize that they had signed a contract of epic proportions.
In the first season of the contract, Jason Williams began to be ineffective, and his data dropped to 8.9 points and 12 rebounds per game. In a parallel world, he also suffered a serious knee injury and was reimbursed for the season. After recovering from the injury,
After that, this guy chose to retire directly and took his salary until 2002.
It is said that people who get such a super contract should have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives. However, in just three years, Jason Williams almost spent all his money. In January 2005, in order to make a living, he got out of shape.
Jason Williams chose to come back, but was rejected when he wanted to apply for a job in the CBA in China.
The reason why Jason Williams went bankrupt so quickly is because he was born in a slum and had a very high IQ... You should know about his situation.
Players from both sides came out on time to warm up, and the Nets players' lack of energy could be seen from their expressions.
On April 28, the Nets lost to the Pistons in an away game. They had a day off and lost to the Magic at home on the 30th. Then they immediately flew to Seattle to play three games in four days.
None of the Nets players are interested in playing. They can't make it to the playoffs anyway, and the team is given the task of failing. What many people want now is to finish the regular season and have fun during the holidays.
For players who do not make the playoffs, this season is only a hard three months, and they can rest for a few more days in May.
So it’s normal for players on bad teams not to get high salaries. They are on vacation for at least half the year. Even those who have played 82 regular season games will not be too tired if they don’t care about the victory or defeat. Future players will have more fun.
There are many people who can earn an annual salary of more than 30 million from just a dozen people.
The Sonics are different. The players are focused and want to play every game well to warm up for the playoffs.
The game was broadcast live on tv5 and kicked off at 9:30 in the morning. Many fans watched the TV. The two commentators felt a little regretful when discussing Yang Jian.
Sun Zhengping said: "Yang Jian can average close to 5 three-pointers per game this season. It's a pity that there are only 50 games, otherwise he would have broken the record of 300 three-pointers in a single season, and could even challenge 400 goals.
"
Zhang Lili said: "In the shortened season, the Sonics had many back-to-back games, and even three consecutive back-to-back games. Under such difficult conditions, Yang Jian still averaged 36.2 points per game. If it were a normal season, he might have exceeded
Jordan's score was 37.1, which is a pity."
Sun Zhengping said: "SuperSonics has four games left and he has a chance to challenge."
Zhang Liji said with a smile: "I think he should consider conserving his energy for the playoffs when he reaches this point. It would be better if he can score high scores in the regular season. Three consecutive scoring champions are guaranteed."
Fans like to watch high scores, and they hope to see Yang Jian score 50 or even higher in every game. Yang Jian has not scored 60 this season, and many people think it is not good enough.
SuperSonics starting lineup: Payton, Yang Jian, Dale Ellis, Schrempf, Ben Wallace.
Veteran Ellis has started 5 times this season, all against teams that are weak inside. At this time, Schrempf's starting position 4 will not become a defensive weakness, and the offensive end will be stronger.
Their starting lineup on the outside is pretty good, but their lineup on the inside is very shabby, filled with the kind of players other teams don't want.
Ben Wallace won the jump ball and the game began.
The SuperSonics position battle began. Under the cover of Ben, Yang Jian ran from the right corner to the right side of the three-point line and caught the ball at a 70-degree angle. He got rid of Kendall Gill without any effort, and center Faik also
There was no switch of defense to catch up.
Yang Jian caught the ball, turned around and shot a jumper. The action was completed in one go, and the ball hit the net. 3 to 0.
Zhang Lili shouted: "Good shot, Yang Jian hit a three-pointer at the beginning. The Nets center had no idea of helping to defend, and Kendall was not fast enough to get around the screen."
Sun Zhengping laughed and said: "This is because there is a problem with the defensive attitude. The Nets players are not working hard."
Kendall Gill was an important contributor to the Nets reaching the playoffs last season, averaging 18.3 points, 5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.9 steals per game. His performance was better the previous season, averaging 21.8 points, 6.1 rebounds, 4 assists and 1.9 steals.
.
However, this season Kendall Gill obviously took a rest during the long offseason and did not practice during the holidays. His data dropped to only 11.8 points, 5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.7 steals per game, and his playing time also dropped to 32 minutes per game.
It is not difficult to see from the data that Kendall Gill no longer takes defense seriously. He has hit a career high in steals and can compete for the steals title. He did this by relying on gambling steals. The coach assigned him to defend Yang Jian, but he was very reluctant.
, I feel there is no benefit. Anyway, he has signed a high-paying long-term contract, so it doesn’t matter if he is beaten.
When the Nets were attacking, Yang Jian was the main defender on Kidders. Facing veteran Ellis' defense, Kendall Gill successfully changed direction with the ball and made a layup on the left, but was slapped down by the defender Ben Wallace.
Schrempf picked up the basketball and passed it to Payton, who passed the ball to Yang Jian as soon as he passed half court.
Yang Jian received the ball from the left and took three steps to the middle. He carried Kidders and forced the basketball to score 5-0.
Kidders is 196cm tall and weighs only 81kg. He is one of the thinnest outside players in the league. He was hit by Yang Jian and could not jump up, and he did not foul.
Yang Jian was in great condition and went crazy at the beginning.
