Chapter 668 [One person defeats the entire team of the opponent]
After passing the half, Payton and Brad Miller played a pick-and-roll in the middle, attracting the defensive pass to the middle. Yang Jian ran up the right baseline, and Lewis blocked Steve Smith.
As soon as Yang Jian ran out of the perimeter, Miller passed the ball from the center. Yang Jian turned 70 degrees on the right side and shot a three-pointer in one go. Smith was a step behind in chasing and blocking the shot and Rasheed Wallace switching defenses.
.
The ball drew a wonderful arc and hit the net! 6 to 2.
After the goal, Yang Jian roared back to defend, and everyone in the Trail Blazers felt a little bad. Yang Jian seemed to have a good touch today, but he would be dead if he had a seizure.
Yang Jian knew that Smith couldn't catch up. The two had faced off many times. Yang Jian had a good memory and knew Smith's speed well. If he attracted a double-team from the outside, he would pass the ball to the right baseline, and Lewis would have an easy shot.
Therefore, Rasheed Wallace did not dare to pounce too far outside, otherwise the bottom line would be completely empty. His choice cannot be said to be wrong. It is only because the opponent scored too many points and all five players could shoot.
If you hesitate, you will lose. Yang Jian is not something that a player can guard against.
As fans and the media expected, Yang Jian played very actively in the first quarter. He made 7 of 11 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 18 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 assists.
Not only did he choose to take more shots, he was also not active on defense because he was afraid that his teammates would defeat the Blazers in the second quarter.
The SuperSonics led 35 to 22 in the first quarter.
In the second quarter, the Sonics sent out Anthony Carter, Mobley, Bruce Bowen, Danny Ferry, and Mason.
Dell Curry and Schrempf, two outstanding veterans, have to be on the fringes of the team, while Troy Hudson and Chris Mullin are not on the roster.
Both veterans are willing to renew their contracts with the SuperSonics at a low salary. It is impossible for them to go to other teams to get high salaries. They just want to stay with the SuperSonics until they retire and strive to win a few more championship rings.
The Trail Blazers' bench looks unreasonable at first glance. Greg Anthony, Bunch Wells, Stacey Ogmon, Kemp, and Antonio Harvey.
This lineup can only play randomly and has no tactics. The inside players cannot open up the space. On the outside, only Greg Anthony, a small point guard with a height of 180cm, can shoot three-pointers. The point guard can shoot three-pointers from the outside, and the Trail Blazers even use pick-and-roll breakthroughs.
Won't come out.
Fortunately, the point difference did not widen. The Sonics' substitute offensive power was average, mainly relying on Mobley and Mason. George Karl deliberately did not let Payton rest for a while in the first quarter and brought up the substitutes in the second quarter. In that case, the opponent would probably not be able to withstand it.
Five minutes later, Yang Jian returned to the court and hit two three-pointers, widening the point difference to 20 points.
Coach Dunleavy's reaction was a little slow, and he replaced Fat Kemp, who couldn't guard the penalty area.
Kemp failed to lose weight and quit drinking in the Trail Blazers. The only thing he did was that there were no more rumors of drug abuse, which was temporary. His mind was not on the basketball court. He argued with his former lovers every day about the illegitimate child.
.
In the second half of the second quarter, Yang Jian made three mid-range shots, scored a breakthrough dunk, caused two fouls on Wells, and made all four free throws.
As long as there are no double teams, Yang Jian can score regardless of whether he is singles on the counterattack or singles on the weak side in positional battles. Smith was unable to guard him, so Dunleavy was forced to reuse Wells, who has better physical fitness. However, he is not on the same level as Yang Jian.
.
Bonzi Wells' name sounds like a stick, his brain is full of muscles, and he is a reckless person on both offense and defense. He is easy to get confused on defense, and his offense relies on explosive power and muscles to rush to the basket, which was beaten by Yang Jian.
Big hat.
Dunleavy was forced to replace Wells and replaced him with Smith to defend Yang Jian, but he was still at a disadvantage.
In the last attack of the final quarter, Yang Jian allowed his teammates to spread out. He held the ball in the middle and played singles. He continuously changed directions to open up space and made a steady two-pointer at the buzzer.
In the second quarter, Yang Jian scored 18 points in just 7 minutes. His scoring efficiency was higher than that in the first quarter, with 36 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block in the half.
The SuperSonics led by 23 points 67 to 44, and the game was dominated by the visitors.
During the final break, Zhang Liyi sighed: "Yang Jian is so strong. His performance in this year's Olympic Games feels even stronger and improved than before. Now he has continued his form into the regular season and scored 50 points in the three quarters today."
Sun Zhengping said: "I'm afraid he won't be able to play the final quarter today and rest, otherwise he will probably score 60. He became energetic as soon as he beat the Trail Blazers. The highest score in his career was against the Trail Blazers."
Zhang Lijia smiled and said: "He is also very enthusiastic against other teams. He may not be able to score 60 points in just three quarters. There are too many times where he scores more than 20 points in a single quarter."
During the halftime break, the Blazers management discussed who would be the coach after Dunleavy dismissed get out of class. Without good goals, Dunleavy could still finish the season. Anyway, the Blazers have no future at all. They are in a
It’s an embarrassing situation where I can’t achieve results and I can’t be cruel enough to mess it up.
In the second half, the Sonics changed someone, and Mobley took over as the starting small forward, adding an offensive point.
The Trail Blazers attacked first, and Yang Jian was still the main defensive point guard Stoudemire. He retreated two meters away and stood up, completely ignoring it.
Stoudemire made a three-point jumper from a wide open space, and the ball bounced out of the frame. Yang Jian, who retreated to the penalty area, got the rebound from the backcourt and rushed forward with the ball after landing.
Smith quickly let go of Payton to pursue Yang Jian, while Stoudemire went to defend Payton. Seeing this scene, many home fans felt sad.
What kind of trash did the Trail Blazers sign? Stoudemire's annual salary is as high as Payton's, and he has little effect on both offense and defense.
Yang Jian slowed down in front of the three-point line on the right, dribbled the ball under his left hand to his right hand and stepped back. Upon seeing this, Smith hurriedly stepped forward to interfere with the jump shot, but Yang Jian did not join the ball and instead dribbled the ball back.
His dribbling rhythm was perfect. He held the ball in his right hand and passed Smith with a sharp change of direction. He broke through from the center and took three steps, pulled the lever to avoid Rasheed Wallace's cover and blocked the shot, and jumped to his left backhand.
The rebound score was .69 to 44.
After scoring the goal, Yang Jian roared in celebration, and some home fans couldn't help but applaud him. His move was so beautiful, no one in the Trail Blazers could pull up the lever like this.
When the Trail Blazers attacked, Yang Jian was completely unguarded again. This time he faced Steve Smith, leaving Payton to defend Stoudemire.
Payton, like Yang Jian, kept a distance to prevent breakthroughs but not shots, and blatantly let go.
Smith received the ball at 70 degrees on the left side and made an open jump shot, hitting a three-pointer. 69 to 47.
During the SuperSonics offense, Yang Jian crossed the half court to catch the ball and waved his teammates away without any need for cover.
Yang Jian held the ball and broke into the three-point line. Walter Williams let go of Mobley and stepped forward to attack. Yang Jian took advantage of the situation and distributed the ball 60 degrees to the left. Mobley caught the ball and shot a three-pointer from the open space. 72 to 47.
Yang Jian was helpless. He didn't really want to assist today, but his teammates were like this. It was unreasonable not to pass the ball.
When the Trail Blazers attacked, Yang Jian still stayed two meters away, not guarding anything. In the first half, he helped his teammates flank the inside players, and then naturally left the defender free. Now he is too lazy to act.
Smith once again attempted a three-pointer in an open position, but missed the basket.
Smith has three-point ability, which is incomparable to Yang Jian. Last season, he averaged 2.9 three-pointers and hit 1.2 goals per game, with a shooting percentage of 39.8% which is not bad, but he didn't make many shots.
Yang Jian glanced at the direction of the pop-up eyeball and went straight to the fast break. Lewis picked up the rebound and passed it to Payton, who took two steps and passed it to Yang Jian.
Yang Jian caught the ball in front of the three-point line and forced a breakthrough. He did not slow down and changed directions while running, and used a European step. He passed right and then left successfully, and scored .74 to 47 with the basketball with his left hand.
Smith's center of gravity was shifted due to the shaking, and he tried to pull someone to foul but was unable to do so. He had already reached out, and if he had been pulled, Yang Jian would probably have scored 21.
Zhang Lili shouted: "Beautiful, Yang Jian scored 40 points. It is certain that he will score 50 points today. I can pass whoever I think of one on one."
Sun Zhengping said: "As he said, as long as he performs normally, the MVP will definitely be his. Today he performed normally and defeated the entire opponent's team by himself."
