ESPN commentator Aaron Myers said in surprise: "Yang completed a fast break dunk at the beginning. His speed was so fast that he completely got rid of Ceballos. Van Exel did not dare to compete with him.
There was a physical confrontation and there was no jumping."
Jack Carter said with a smile: "His physical fitness is really amazing, and the cameras almost couldn't keep up with his speed. Ceballos is in trouble today. He made big talk before the game and wanted to teach Yang Jian a lesson. Let's see if he can pay back immediately."
one."
Like the Jazz players on the field, Ceballos was a little dumbfounded.
He heard that Yang Jian was very fast, but he didn't expect it to be so fast. He thought that at most he was as fast as Suns stars Kevin Johnson and Charles Barkley. Those two are very famous, and they can both run in the NBA.
Representatives who can jump are obviously not as fast as Yang Jian.
Ceballos reached the Finals with the Suns in 1993. At that time, he was a role player, averaging 12.8 points and 5.5 rebounds per game in the regular season. He performed poorly in the playoffs, but faced off against Jordan.
Pass.
He is a man who has seen the world. I feel that Jordan, who has not retired in 1993, is not as fast as Yang Jian. Yang Jian speeds up instantly, and you can only look at his back in the blink of an eye.
When the Lakers attacked, Ceballos took a deep breath and planned to retaliate to Yang Jian.
For the sake of face, he must not back down. Although the opponent is very fast, he believes that he also has advantages, that is, rich experience and technology.
Ceballos relied on Divac's screen to move, received a pass from Van Exel, turned and shot a jumper outside the three-point line in the middle. This is a tactic often used by the Lakers. After a season of running-in, he
Skilled in movement and quick in shooting.
Unfortunately, as soon as the ball was thrown, he saw someone flying in front of him and blocked the shot with a slap. It was Yang Jian who bypassed the screen and jumped up with all his strength to block the shot, and he blocked it solidly.
After Yang Jian landed, he took advantage of the inertia and sprinted forward. He passed Ceballos with an almost "flying" movement and picked up the basketball first. Ceballos was so excited that he wanted to fall to the ground to save the ball, but he was a step too slow and missed the ball before he could reach it.
He lost his center of gravity and lay on the ground like a dog chewing mud.
When Yang Jian picked up the ball, everything was clear in front of him, and he entered the Lakers' penalty area in just a few steps - showtime!
He calculated the right distance, took off with both feet, turned 360 degrees clockwise, and dunked the ball into the basket with both hands! 4 to 0.
After landing, Yang Jian roared, and the arena seemed to have pressed the mute button for two seconds, and then erupted into thunderous cheers and shouts.
"Fake, how is this possible?"
"Is this a 360-degree dunk? Why do I feel different from others?"
"This is definitely the Qinggong of Chinese Kung Fu. Jordan can't jump so high! I want to vote for him in this year's All-Stars!"
The fans at the scene and those watching the live broadcast on TV were all stunned. No one thought that any player could complete such a dunk in actual combat.
Who is the next successor to Jordan? This is the most popular topic in the American sports media. Harold Miner is the first player to be called Jordan's successor. He won two NBA slam dunks in 1993 and 1995.
Contest champion and "babyjordan" reputation.
Miner only left a deep impression on people with his dunks. The 10.5 points per game he averaged in the Heat's peak season are not comparable to Jordan's. However, for such a recognized super dunker, no action in the dunk contest can match his performance.
Take Yang Jian’s actual dunk.
In a parallel world, Vince Carter conquered the audience with his 360-degree dunk in his rookie season and was called "demigod". Yang Jian was even more shocking than Carter because he was not black. Before that, dunks
The big game is just a stage for black players to perform.
Now American fans have discovered that people of other skin colors can fly, and Chinese people can fly higher than black people! This completely breaks people's inherent understanding of yellow people.
Aaron exclaimed: "Oh my god, what happened? Yang's 360-degree dunk was a clockwise turn. The difficulty of this ball is too high. It will definitely score full marks in the dunk contest."
Jack sighed: "No one has done this kind of action in the NBA before. After he turned around, he still glided in the air for a while. His physical fitness was terrible. It only took him 3 seconds in total from starting a fast break to completing a dunk."
Aaron said loudly: "The best goal in the NBA today must be Yang's again. Yesterday he had three goals. I don't know how many there are today. I can't believe that someone is so physically fit. Soon he will be selected."
He will be the favorite of Sonics fans, and Kemp can't dunk as well as him."
Jack added: "And Yang can not only dunk, but also shoot well. His roar after scoring a goal really boosted morale, and the atmosphere of the whole court was mobilized."
Players can easily be caught off guard when facing an opponent they don't understand, and even O'Neal can't avoid this.
When Yao Ming played against the Lakers for the first time in his rookie season, O'Neal couldn't wait to teach Yao Ming a lesson and hit the ball hard. O'Neal's shots were a bit random, and Yao Ming blocked them three times in a row. He was honest.
This is the case for Ceballos. Facing Yang Jian, it is impossible to attack as usual.
Yang Jian was sure that he would shoot directly instead of using technical breakthroughs. Because as a famous shooter, Ceballos almost always relies on jump shots instead of breakthroughs to score high points.
Under Payton's words and deeds, Yang Jian learned to make predictions when defending.
If you predict that the opponent will take a shot, jump up and block the shot; if you predict that the shot will not be blocked, then try your best to interfere; if you predict that the opponent will catch the ball and feint to break through, then don't jump, just raise your arm, and the opponent will accept the jump shot.
In short, it is wrong for players to often take off or never jump when defending. People who often take off will easily get fouled, while those who do not jump will make their opponents happy to shoot.
Ceballos was deeply shocked when he saw Yang Jian's dunk. He relied on tricks to win the slam dunk contest. A blindfold dunk mainly requires a sense of direction, not jumping ability and tricks. A reverse 360 degree like Yang Jian's
Dunking, he didn't even dare to think about it, it was like breaking the earth's gravity.
Yang Jian not only has super jumping ability, but also has amazing waist and abdominal strength. Ceballos is a representative of the tough men on the outside, but he is obviously inferior to Yang Jian. He feels that the opponent is a beast in human skin.
At this time, Ceballos's idea changed. From wanting to defeat the Chinese guy with my body, to wanting to outwit the opponent with experience and technology, I was unable to defeat him.
He regretted that he shouldn't have said those big words in yesterday's interview. Who told me before that Asians are all thin and have poor physical fitness?
The Lakers completed an attack. Van Exel dribbled the ball through half court and played a pick-and-roll with Divac to force a breakthrough. Due to Payton's interference, the throw missed.
"Fake, that's all you can do?" Payton scolded after successfully defending.
When he faced Stockton on the court, he didn't talk trash because he knew the other side wouldn't respond. Today when he met his old rival Fan Kuang, he couldn't stop talking with his big mouth.
In 1993, Van Exel was selected by the Lakers with the 10th overall pick in the second round. Although he was only a short point guard with a humble background, he became the team's starter in his rookie season, averaging 13.6 points and 5.8 assists per game.
.His shooting was unstable, but his flashy style of play left a deep impression on people.
Today, Van Exel is one of the most entertaining point guards in the league. In addition to his elusive passing, his behind-the-back fake shots are also amazing.
Payton was teased by Madman Fan many times in the playoffs, and today he was determined to avenge his shame by destroying his opponent. As soon as he got close to him, "Madman" got into the "glove" and couldn't go crazy anymore.
The SuperSonics' offensive routine was very simple. Payton and Kemp played a pick-and-roll and then passed the ball. Kemp received the ball and cut in the middle and was double-teamed and passed to P.J. Brown, who missed a 45-degree mid-range shot from the right.
Divac grabbed the rebound in the backcourt and wanted to pass a long pass to Ceballos to start a fast break. After taking a look, the ball did not go out.
Ceballos was very active in the fast break, but today he ran aggressively but could not get out of the space. Yang Jian was faster than him, and the two passed the halftime together and were inseparable. Divac was afraid of making a mistake and did not dare to pass, so he had to leave it to Van Aye
The Kessel organization has taken up its position.
Lakers coach Harris shook his head slightly on the sidelines. Ceballos' fast break is an important weapon for the team. If he is restricted, it will be too difficult to win today. Only he and Fan Fan are good at fast breaks on the Lakers. Others are good at fast breaks.
The speed is too slow.
Last season, the Lakers forced the Sonics to use Payton to defend Ceballos several times. Now Payton only has to deal with the point guard.
It's obvious that Seattle's defense is stronger than it was in the past.
