When the SuperSonics attacked, Yang Jian ran from the outside to catch the ball, and Anthony Miller immediately defended him.
Yang Jian would not face the big man's jump shot, so he took a step to attract Miller's defensive pass to Payton, who was running to receive the ball. Payton jumped up and passed the ball quickly to Kemp, who was cutting through the air.
Kemp wanted to dunk, but Campbell pulled him down. This was Campbell's third foul.
Payton waved his fist, which was a bit regretful. He added an assist without fouling. Yang Jian did not directly find an opening to pass the ball to Kemp, but gave him a pass first, which suited him very well.
Kemp made one of two free throws, 66 to 51.
The Lakers made a mistake in their offense. After Divac came off the court, Campbell was the only one who could attack inside. Van Exel's intention of lobbing him was too obvious, and Camp suddenly went around and cut off the basketball.
Kemp's center of gravity was lower and more flexible. He quickly bent down to pick up the ball and passed it to Payton. Van Exel's gamble-like steal failed and was passed by Payton.
Payton quickly advanced to the frontcourt and passed to Yang Jian. Yang Jian received the ball and chose to break through when faced with Ceballos. He took a step to pull the ball and took a big step to the right.
Ceballos was attracted and his center of gravity shifted to the right side of the court. Yang Jian then changed direction and took a step to the left to succeed. He jumped up and picked up the basket with his right hand and scored. 68 to 51, he scored his 26th point.
Yang Jian roared angrily, and the audience cheered.
Ceballos thought this was a provocation, but he didn't have the courage to speak harshly to Yang Jian. Today he was completely beaten.
The Lakers also had some outstanding players. Eddie Jones used the screen to catch the ball and avoid Schrempf to block the shot and hit a three-pointer. 68 to 54.
During the SuperSonics offense, Yang Jian took a step outside to catch the ball and was double-teamed, passing the ball to Kemp. Kemp attracted Campbell under the basket to defend the pass. PJ Brown received the ball on the left and jumped up.
Two-handed basketball dunk scored .70 to 54.
The SuperSonics can play smooth cooperation, but the Lakers rely on the individual abilities of their players, and no one on the court can organize the offense. Harris uses Campbell as O'Neal, and the players pass to him in the low post for a one-on-one challenge.
pj Brown and Kemp double-teamed Campbell in the low post. Although the opponent is not a big-name star, he is still more threatening when taking the ball in the low post, at least more threatening than other Lakers players.
Campbell's passing awareness was poor. After being flanked by two people, he couldn't see Miller who was released on the other side. He made a mistake when passing the ball to Ceballos who was cutting in the air. Yang Jian followed closely from behind and stabbed him away.
Basketball.
A player's long wingspan is particularly advantageous when defending. Yang Jian's wingspan of 210cm can be compared with many two-meter-tall forwards. Kemp picked up the basketball and passed it to Payton, and the three of them started a fast break.
In a 3-on-2 frontcourt, Eddie Jones followed Schrempf, and Van Exel retreated to the penalty area alone, facing the impact of Payton and Yang Jian.
To defend against this kind of attack, players can only choose to defend one person or block the passing route while retreating. Van Exel chose the route of Kayan Jian because the opponent's dunks will boost the morale of the team. Even if Payton
A dunk is also a normal dunk.
Unexpectedly, Payton couldn't even make a layup, but passed it to Yang Jian. Yang Jian took the ball and took three steps and went straight towards Van Exel.
Crazy Fan's mood at this moment is like the sadness of frost, the sorrow of wind, and the fury of clouds. It can be summed up in one sentence: "Don't come over!"
Yang Jian's speed was too fast and it was impossible to stop. Van Exel did not dare to jump or move. He had a premonition that he was going to be knocked away. Although he might have caused Yang Jian to foul someone with the ball, but
The price was too high, and he might get injured. The reason why he was only selected in the second round that year was because he was thin and had poor fighting ability.
Yang Jian took off, but the collision did not happen. Van Exel only felt a strong wind blowing by, and then heard the sound of a dunk, Yang Jian's roar, and the crazy cheers of the fans in the audience.
Van Exel was stunned, and so were the other Lakers players. They even forgot to serve the baseline kick. After Harris was stunned on the sidelines for two seconds, he reluctantly called a timeout.
As soon as the baseline ball is played, the referee blows the whistle and the players from both sides leave the field.
In the attack just now, Yang Jian calculated the distance and jumped up. With one step in the air, she jumped directly over Van Exel's head. The opponent was only 185cm in shoes, so Yang Jian didn't even need to reach out to support the opponent's shoulders.
, smashed the ball with his right hand and scored! 72 to 54.
Aaron Miles yelled: "Oops! Oops! I can't believe it! Young actually flew over Van Exel's head on the fast break. This is unbelievable."
Dunk! What a terrifying jumping power!”
Jack Carter also shouted: "It's amazing. I don't know if this has ever happened in the NBA before. This is the first time in my life that I have seen a player jump over his opponent and complete a dunk."
Aaron sighed: "The 360-degree dunk and the alley-oop windmill in the first quarter will not be the best dunk today. I think this one is more beautiful now. Yang suspended the Lakers again, and the SuperSonics' momentum reached
At the top. If Harris didn't call a timeout, the Lakers players might collapse on the court."
Jack introduced: "Yang scored his 28th point. If he played the remaining time, I think he would score 40 again today. However, judging from the current situation, the final quarter may enter garbage time."
After coming off the court, Yang Jian and his teammates celebrated with high-fives one by one. The fans cheered for a long time. This dunk shocked people so much that they were willing to watch the replay ten times in one go!
The ESPN live broadcast replayed the goal repeatedly, from two angles, and in slow motion.
Fans who watched the live TV event all remembered Yang Jian's name. Because Michael Jordan had never done this kind of thing. He only dunked on his opponent and did not jump over anyone's head to complete the dunk.
Van Exel was still in a state of confusion after he came off the court. He couldn't believe what just happened. It turns out that being dunked or knocked away is not the most terrifying thing. He will often appear in NBA dunk highlights as a backdrop in the future.
Already.
As soon as Harris saw Van Exel's condition, he knew he couldn't continue playing, so he was forced to replace veteran point guard Seidel Treat. Seidel and Payton would definitely be unable to guard against him.
The morale of the Lakers has dropped to freezing point. The players all feel that this game is destined to be lost. They even don't want to play and hope that the game will end early. It is too shameless to play with a player like Yang Jian. The opponent is simply putting on a show.
, you can't retaliate to him in the same way.
George Karl didn't know how to evaluate Yang Jian. He had never dreamed that a Chinese talent could be as strong as this. Not to mention technical skills, only physical fitness, Yang Jian can definitely challenge Jordan. Because Jordan is older
, Yang Jian even came out ahead.
George Karl believes that as long as Yang Jian does not waste his talent like Kemp, he will not only become a superstar after playing for ten years, but may even surpass Jordan in achievements.
As we all know, Jordan's long-range shooting ability is very poor and he is only good at mid-range shooting. He has weaknesses. Yang Jian can shoot three-pointers as soon as he enters the league. His shooting talent is better than Jordan's, and there is still room for improvement in the future. Ten years later, he
He is only 29 years old, younger than Jordan now.
George Karl instructed: "Yang, try your best to end the offense with shooting, and don't rush to the basket for dunks. You went a little too far with this dunk, and they may pull you out of the air next time."
Other players were not surprised to hear what the coach said. If someone from their opponent dunked like this, they would definitely be very angry and want to foul hard to stop their opponent.
Yang Jian nodded and said seriously: "I was so excited just now that I thought I could jump over so I did it. I will not do such dangerous actions in the future."
"It's best not to do this kind of action in your entire career. If you fail to dunk, the defender may be fine, but you will fall hard." George Karl laughed.
Yang Jian listened very carefully. Fans may like this kind of dunk over people, but what the coach said is good advice. If he wants to dunk, he can choose an action that does not require risk.
In this league, there have been many talents ruined by injuries. To become a superstar, you not only have to have a good body and luxurious statistics, but you must also be durable.
Yang Jian's goal is to play 20 seasons in the NBA and play no fewer games than Kobe and James. If he can be as healthy as Malone and Payton, that would be great.
