Chapter 632 [Cannot go against the wishes of the audience]
After the timeout, the Pacers were unable to recover the slightest disadvantage, unable to attack and unable to defend.
Yang Jian had no intention of letting go on the defensive end today. The others also defended with all their strength and counterattacked when they were on guard.
Larry Bird made a mistake and did not replace Rick Schmitz immediately. Schmitz has always been the Pacers' starting center. His playing time today was too short. Bird wanted to keep him on the court to strengthen the offense for a while.
.
Schmitz was indeed able to attack, scoring 4 points before leaving the game. The price of the high center's presence was that Yang Jian made another three-pointer, made a breakthrough and drew a foul and made two free throws, and a breakthrough attracted the defense to distribute the ball to the left.
From the side corner, Schrempf assisted Schrempf and hit an open three-pointer.
After Schmitz came off the court, Yang Jian began to attract double-teams and pass the ball again. When defending Mark Jackson, he huddled near the penalty area to grab backcourt rebounds.
The Pacers tried their best to double-team Yang Jian, and there were frequent openings in other positions. The Sonics played a lot of offense. And Yang Jian still had a way to score. During a counterattack, he forced a breakthrough and caused a foul on Mark Jackson, and made two free throws.
The Pacers' offense has always been weak, with only pick-and-roll tactics. The players are not fast enough to get rid of the defense, and they often end up in singles.
Yang Jian played the entire half, making 13 of 13 shots, 4 of 4 three-pointers, and 7 of 7 free throws. He scored 37 points, 12 rebounds, 11 assists, and 2 steals. He grabbed two offensive rebounds and cut when his teammates shot.
Rush and grab it.
The SuperSonics led 77 to 35 by 42 points, and the game completely entered garbage time.
Zhang Lili said: "The Pacers only scored 16 points in a single quarter, and their performance was not as good as the first quarter. Today the SuperSonics are likely to cause the biggest tragedy in the history of the NBA Finals."
Sun Zhengping said: "Maybe Yang Jian was angry because he didn't reach the finals last season. He was not polite to his opponents at all today. He already got a triple-double after playing only 19 minutes. This is definitely the fastest triple-double in NBA history.
Record."
The style of play with a big core holding the ball is so good, with a high ball possession rate and good statistics.
At present, not many people in the NBA use this style of play. Only Grant Hill, Iverson, Francis and Yang Jian are similar, but the efficiency is far behind.
It will be more common for players to play like this in the future. A triple-double in 19 minutes is not the fastest record. In a parallel world, Jokic got a triple-double in only 14 minutes and 33 seconds. And Jokic did not rely on fast breaks to increase his statistics.
He is a very slow center.
During halftime, Larry Bird talked with the players in the locker room and decided to continue to let the starters play in the second half.
Reggie Miller must play, otherwise it will be too embarrassing. He made 0 of 9 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, and only scored 2 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists. This is actually the data produced by the core of the team. Miller is completely lost.
Not even a single goal in a sports match.
Larry Bird doesn't know how to guard Yang Jian. No one on the team can limit him on his own. He seems to be able to beat anyone with the ball.
Last week, many fans criticized Kobe, thinking that he was too weak to be selected for the All-Defensive Team, and was beaten by Yang Jian every game. Now people find that Kobe defended pretty well, and at least in two games, Yang Jian's shooting percentage was not too high.
.When the Pacers defended Yang Jian, he was always flying with his sword like Xiao Li.
The atmosphere in the visiting team's locker room was a bit dull. Everyone in the Pacers knew that they were going to be in big trouble today, and that they would become the background of the finals. Many people had this experience in 1998, and old injuries were not healed but new ones were added.
hurt.
They can only hope that Yang Jian will not play in the second half. As long as he is on the court, there is no way to guard him. They don't know whether to focus on his scoring or his passing.
Yang Jian organized the offense and didn't make a single mistake in the first half. He had the most rebounds in the game and was very good at grabbing.
Because the ball always passed through Yang Jian's hands, the SuperSonics played very methodically. The players did not mess around, and there were naturally very few overall mistakes. There were only 4 turnovers in the half. The Pacers made 10 turnovers in the half, multiple times.
Being beaten back.
In the second half, the Pacers were the starting lineup, and the SuperSonics were a five-small lineup. Mason replaced Brad Miller.
Zhang Lijia said: "Yang Jian came out in the second half and may have to play three quarters before resting. His condition today is very good. He may score 50 triple-doubles in one more quarter."
Sun Zhengping smiled and said: "The main reason is that today is the home game of the SuperSonics, and the fans are cheering for Yang Jian. The fans hope that he will continue to play, and he cannot go against the wishes of the audience."
George Karl is a coach who is willing to help Yang Jian improve his statistics. After thinking about it for a while, he decided to let him continue playing. This is how he got his 60 in the last finals. When you can get high scores, you should get them. If you miss it, you may be lifelong.
regret.
Decades later, fans will only judge the strength of a retired player through statistics. If a selfless team player scores a maximum of 50 points in a single game, how can he prove that he is better than someone who has scored 60 points in a single game?
If George Karl insists on not letting Yang Jian play in garbage time, Yang Jian will definitely be angry. He does not have as good a temper as future Stephen Curry. If Cole coaches him, he will let Cole coach him within two years.
Get out of here.
The SuperSonics coaching staff cooperates with Yang Jian, and he is the boss in the team. Even manager Wally Walker thinks so, so he asks Yang Jian for his opinion every year when drafting and recruiting. If Yang Jian doesn't want anyone
Players will never be traded to the SuperSonics. The manager will try his best to get the people Yang Jian wants.
The Pacers attacked first. Schmitz singled out Mason in the low post and used his height advantage to hit the back. He turned to the baseline and hit a jump shot. 77 to 37.
Schmitz does have a lot of talent on the offensive end. As Yao Ming's draft template, his shooting touch is very soft and he can smoothly turn around and make fadeaway jumpers. Mason is too short and can only defend but cannot block shots.
During the SuperSonics offense, Yang Jian used the off-ball movement style and ran to the right side under the screen to catch the ball. This time, it was Jaylen Rose who guarded him, and the result was the same. After Yang Jian feinted the ball
Breaking through, he dribbled the ball from his hip and then dribbled the ball from behind, almost knocking Rose down.
Dale Davis double-teamed nearby, and Yang Jian took advantage of the situation and passed the ball to Lewis who was 70 degrees on the right. Lewis took the ball and hit another three-pointer. 80 to 37.
Zhang Lili said: "Lewis may be Yang Jian's best partner in the future. When he and Yang Jian were on the weak side, their shooting percentage was very high. In the past, Payton did this job, and the point guard double-teaming had little effect.
, but Payton’s shooting wasn’t good enough.”
Sun Zhengping said: "This requires Payton to sacrifice data, and it is indeed more effective to play this way. If Lewis does not have a direct shot, he can also pass the ball to Payton in the middle and organize it."
The commentator often watches SuperSonics games and has figured out their routines. After Jaylen Rose singled out Mobley and hit a pull-up three-pointer, this is how the Sonics played in the next round.
Yang Jian attracted a double team and passed the ball to Lewis. Davis pursued the defense with all his strength. Lewis passed the ball to Payton in the middle. Payton held the ball and played a pick-and-roll with Mason who was pulled out. After attracting Schmitz's attention, he crossed the ball.
Move one step and pass the ball to the right side.
After Yang Jian passed the ball, he stood in the right corner, faked a move and ran up the line. He suddenly changed direction and cut inside without the ball, receiving Payton's pass at a 45-degree angle.
Yang Jian took advantage of the situation and took three steps to reach the basket and pull the lever. Schmitz turned around to cover and blocked the shot, and Jaylen Rose was one step too slow to catch up and block the shot. Yang Jian jumped from the right side to the left side of the basket and scored with a backhand shot.
82 to 40.
The Pacers attacked, and Reggie Miller caught the ball under Schmitz's off-ball screen. Payton quickly bypassed the pursuit. Reggie Miller lobbed the ball to Schmitz in the low post.
Schmitz turned around and shot another baseline jump shot, which missed due to personal interference from Mason. Lewis got stuck, and Yang Jian grabbed the backcourt rebound and immediately counterattacked.
Mobley rushed in front, and this time Jaylen Rose couldn't double-team Yang Jian. Payton also ran forward with all his strength, and Reggie Miller had to let him go if he dared to double-team. The two big men couldn't return to defense fast enough.
.
Yang Jian passed the half court on the left side and then slowed down, shooting a three-pointer from one meter outside the 70-degree three-point line. Mark Jackson couldn't bounce, so he made the right judgment and jumped forward but couldn't cover it. He turned around and saw the ball flying into the basket.
basket.
85 to 40, Yang Jian scored his 42nd point.
He hasn't missed a shot yet, and he's completely mad...
