February 14th was Valentine's Day. Britney stayed in the hotel and slept in, while Yang Jian went to participate in the training of the Western Team in the morning.
Yang Jian only slept for more than 4 hours, but when he saw Auckland at 4 a.m., he was still in high spirits. His body was extremely talented, and after improving his physical fitness by 5 points, he was even more tireless.
Kobe Bryant proposed to challenge Yang Jian during training, and Yang Jian readily agreed. He also said that if anyone else is interested, they can come over and have a friendly discussion.
"Zen Master" Phil Jackson, the coach of the Western Conference Stars, shook his head slightly on the sidelines. He felt that Kobe's arrogance and pride were close to rude. He was obviously not competing, but wanted to compete with Yang Jian. Although he lost to the three-time
There is no shame in mvp, but Kobe wanted to win and thought he had a chance to win.
There's something wrong with your judgment. Can you beat a monster like Yang Jian?
10 balls determined the outcome, and sure enough, the one-on-one match ended soon after, with Yang Jian beating Kobe 10-2.
Not only did Yang Jian win, but his style of play was very fancy. He faced the frame and connected the various techniques smoothly with his back, including layups, mid-range shots, and three-pointers.
Kobe's expression was "I want to fight you to the death", while Yang Jian's expression was "I'm just having fun".
Kobe, who became famous at a young age, was far more talented than his teammates. He longed for victory and hoped to stand at the top of the league. He liked to rely on his own ability to solve problems and often did not take the coach's words to heart.
However, everyone knows that Yang Jian is more talented than Kobe, and is one of the few players in the world whose physical fitness completely beats Kobe. Usually Kobe bullies others with his talent, but now he is the one being bullied.
Kobe couldn't get past Yang Jian in front of the frame. After gaining muscle, he still couldn't rely on his strength to attack with his back, and his turnaround jump shot would be seriously interfered with. The two goals he scored were scored under interference, and most of his shots were shot.
.
Kobe has not yet entered his peak period to become "Little Malone", and his post-up skills are immature. He averaged 22.6 points on 18 shots per game, and his scoring efficiency is not high.
Kobe was abused and doubted his life, and ended up sitting aside and shutting himself in.
Yang Jian doesn't seem to be trying his best because there are too many tricks. If Yang Jian is trying his best, he should try to take the ball to the most accurate position for his shot. Or maybe he doesn't need to find a position specially, he can be accurate in every position.
.
Kobe has always been confident in his one-on-one ability, and he dared to challenge Jordan when he first entered the league. But every time he faced Yang Jian, his opponent would use pick-and-rolls to find cover and look for mismatch opportunities.
He originally thought he would be able to fight better in a different environment with no one to interfere, but he found that Yang Jian was unstoppable when he was not double-teamed.
Ray Allen and Michael Finley also sparred with Yang Jian for a while, but were also beaten.
Both of them have excellent physical fitness, but they are obviously inferior to Yang Jian. They can't block Yang Jian's forced shots, and they can't stop Yang Jian from getting close to the basket. Yang Jian's speed is too fast, and his shooting point is too high.
The left and right sides of the board are played accurately.
At this time, everyone discovered that Yang Jian was not bad at back-up play, but he preferred to face the frame. When singled out, he also had no solution when using his back-up play. When turning to the middle, he would step back and perform "Golden Rooster Independence", which looked like he was blind.
Throw everything in.
This move is not very powerful when used by a defender, Yang Jian just did it for fun.
Jason Kidd did not go to have a simple challenge with Young, but chatted with Payton on the sidelines. "You join the defensive first team every year. Is this how you usually practice?"
Payton smiled bitterly and said: "What do you think? After the first season, I didn't want to fight him one-on-one. He was not that good when he first entered the league. He has been improving. Now no one can guard him one-on-one."
When it comes to which player has been abused by Yang Jian the most, it used to be Snow, and now it's Payton. The two of them often sparred in the team, and Yang Jian's offensive skills improved quickly, which has a lot to do with Payton's help.
Kobe reviewed the gains and losses for a while, and then played Yang Jian again, and the result was still 10 to 2. Yang Jian could reduce Kobe's shooting percentage, but Kobe could not guard Yang Jian, and his interference in shooting was ineffective.
Yang Jian is usually used to being double-teamed. There is no pressure to single out shots, as long as he finds the rhythm and avoids blocks. He has already been an offensive kaleidoscope, and many techniques are not used during the game because they are not needed.
Of course, the intensity of celebrity training will not be high. After a brief adaptation, everyone will go back to the hotel to rest and wait for the game to start in the evening.
When the players came out, Yang Jian received the warmest applause.
Vince Carter, the Eastern Conference outside star that the league strongly touts, is the second most popular. He averages 25.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.1 blocks per game. His data is good and his dunks are exciting, but they are inferior to Yang Jian. And unless Carter also sings and shoots
His movie scores are similar to those of Yang Jian, otherwise his popularity would be impossible to surpass him.
However, Yang Jian was not the main attacker this time in the star race and took fewer shots.
How strong are the starting lineups of the Western Conference All-Stars? All five players are good at offense and defense. The East's interior lineup is obviously not as good as the West's, and the West's interior players can score easily.
Yang Jian was willing to be the Green Leaf's main offensive organizer, occasionally catching the ball and shooting, and organized the offense in an orderly manner. The Western team quickly achieved a double-digit lead, with O'Neal and Duncan scoring consecutively.
The Eastern Conference's starting post only includes the 208cm-tall Alonzo Mourning, with Grant Hill playing as a power forward to defend Duncan, which is an obvious defensive vulnerability.
The commentators all praised Yang Jian for playing reasonable and selfless. The SuperSonics and Spurs were at loggerheads in the playoffs. Yang Jian worked very hard against the Spurs this season, but in the All-Star Game, Yang Jian passed the ball to Duncan.
The most balls.
They have no personal grudges. They don't talk much in the team and are just acquaintances, but when they are teammates, they are willing to pass the ball to each other. O'Neal also pulled out and played several pick-and-rolls with Yang Jian. Yang Jian had the opportunity to break through in a misplaced position, attracting Mo
Ning passes the ball after switching defense.
As long as Mourning defends, Duncan will single out Hill in the low post and hit the ball twice for dunks.
In the entire first half, Yang Jian only scored 5 points on 2-for-2 shooting and provided 10 assists.
Eddie Jones, the opposing starting shooting guard in the Eastern Conference, had the worst performance in the game, with only 2 points and 1 assist. Jones didn't dare to play at all. When he was with the Lakers, he was tortured by Yang Jian and had a psychological shadow. When he saw him, he couldn't help but think
Pass the ball.
Yang Jian's limelight today was mainly off the court. During the halftime break, he went to the court to sing while wearing jersey No. 21.
He didn't need to change into any performance clothes, and wearing his own jersey to play guitar and sing was more in line with his identity. He sang "fire" and "soldout", which brought the atmosphere to the peak today.
Fans in Oakland felt that watching the game live was worth the money. Yang Jian's live singing had a lot of improvisation and was more passionate than the studio version. The big screen in the stadium played highlights of NBA stars' highlights, which served as the mv.
The performance ended perfectly, and the fans applauded for a long time.
Zhang Lili said: "Yang Jian's singing is also very popular in the United States. Have these two songs been designated as NBA theme songs?"
Sun Zhengping lamented: "The audience was so enthusiastic. Looking at the atmosphere, if the game is not played in the second half and it is changed to Yang Jian's solo concert, the audience will agree."
Zhang Li said with a smile: "His voice is so good. It seems that these two songs are not the ones that received Grammy nominations."
Sun Zhengping said: "Yang Jian will release an album this year, and it is said that the recording is almost completed. He often plays with several singers during holidays, and even went to the recording studio to record two days ago."
The Western team, sung by Yang Jian, became even more powerful. At the beginning of the second half, the inside players scored consecutively, launching a ruthless beating against the Eastern stars.
The Eastern team could only chase points when Yang Jian was off the court. He could always drive the whole team when he was on the court. Kobe replaced Yang Jian and played alone, hardly cooperating with his teammates, and his own shooting percentage was not high.
Kobe always wanted to prove that he was super strong, but his style of play would only let people clearly see the gap between him and Yang Jian. One easily led the team to gain an advantage, while the other played very hard and was ineffective.
Although Kobe's style of play is very similar to Jordan's in all aspects, not many people praise him now. The original Jordan has lost games since his comeback, and whether his style of play is correct has also triggered discussions among fans.
The final score was 148 to 126, and the Western team won by 22 points.
