Yang Jian's normal performance is so strong, and the Chinese fans who watched the live broadcast felt that the commentator was right. It was most obvious in the 1998-99 season, when Yang Jian exploded every game, scoring 40 points in half of the games.
No matter which team faces the SuperSonics, they will feel a headache and do not want to be the backdrop for Yang Jian's record-breaking performance. The Trail Blazers have become the backdrop more than once.
The Blazers' players inevitably started to get impatient. Yang Jian's score alone was about the same as their team's score. Some even wanted to cause trouble, but they didn't dare to take action.
This is a nationally broadcast game, or the opening game. What is the cost of a comeback for a flagrant foul on the first active player in the opening game? They really want to know, but they don't want this warrior to be them.
A true warrior dares to face the bleak life and the dripping blood.
This kind of people are generally proletarian. A random NBA player can be worth over a million dollars. In order to get more money, they need gorgeous statistics, so they choose to compete offensively with the SuperSonics.
Steve Smith picked up the ball from the left and once again chose to shoot a three-pointer. No matter what Yang Jian thought, they had to chase points. They suffered a disastrous defeat in the home opener. The players would definitely be the most uncomfortable, not the fans.
Yang Jian did not defend at all, and Smith scored another goal. 74 to 50.
When Smith was still with the Hawks, his highest score in a single game of his career came against Yang Jian. Now he suspects that he is a waste. Is it because Yang Jian has no pressure against him, so he especially likes to do this kind of thing?
Not only in the Trail Blazers, but also in the Dream Team 4 when facing Yang Jian, Smith also felt powerless. Apart from joining the SuperSonics, he could not think of any way to win the championship. The gap in strength between the two was too big.
The embarrassing thing is that even if Smith wants to join the SuperSonics at a low salary after his contract expires, Yang Jian is not interested in being a teammate with him. Such a player whose reputation is greater than his strength will only affect people's evaluation of Yang Jian.
When the SuperSonics attacked, Payton passed the ball to Yang Jian who was running through half court, and then pulled away.
Yang Jian and Brad Miller, who was stretched out from the three-point line, played a pick-and-roll, moved sideways to the right to get rid of Smith, and then suddenly accelerated to break through the center Dale Davis who was changing defense.
He made a breakthrough by "flying close to the ground", but Davis's center of gravity was too high, and there was nothing he could do but watch him pass by him.
After passing the ball, Yang Jian adjusted his center of gravity and took off with both feet, forming an arched body. He smashed the ball with one hand and scored! 76 to 50.
Rasheed Wallace was pulled out by Lewis, and he was far away from the basket and had no time to defend. Even if he defended, he might not be able to defend. Yang Jian is not what he used to be, and he is willing to try to dunk.
Sun Zhengping said: "After watching this shot, everyone should know why the movie made by Yang Jian is called "Fast and Furious"."
Zhang Lijia sighed: "This ball breaks through too fast. Iverson will never be able to play this kind of offense. Yang Jian is the fastest player in the NBA."
Sun Zhengping said: "He will participate in the sprint competition and maybe he can break the Asian record. He said he never tests the 100 meters, but I think there should be no Asians faster than him."
This is really not true. Yang Jian's physical fitness is unique in Asia, but he has no interest in participating in sprint competitions. If Bolt can become a superstar in the NBA, I believe he will not practice track and field.
When the Trail Blazers attack, Stoudemire's position and dribbling organization are still looking for Smith.
Knowing that Yang Jian will not defend seriously, Stoudemire also wanted to take this opportunity to get some assists and prove that he is still an excellent point guard. In fact, he can't prove anything. Now people know what he got in the Raptors.
The data is a mess.
The reason is simple. After Snow joined the Raptors, the Raptors entered the playoffs. When Stoudemire was here, the Raptors were competing for the No. 1 pick every year.
His statistics were good only because the coach gave him the ball and allowed him to brush it as he pleased. However, he was not satisfied and believed that the Raptors were not worthy of a "superstar" like him, so he finally came to the Trail Blazers and became a role player.
Smith was not polite either. He shot when there was an opening. He shot continuously at 70 degrees from his most accurate left side and scored another three-pointer. 76 to 53.
During the SuperSonics offense, Yang Jian caught the ball as soon as he passed half court, and Miller covered him two meters outside the three-point line.
Yang Jian still changed direction and went to the right. This time Dale Davis did not dare to stand very far outside. Once the distance between the two was too close, Yang Jian changed direction and broke through and it was impossible for him to keep up.
This has nothing to do with reaction speed. Even if Davis realizes Yang's brief breakthrough and makes the right judgment, his body cannot keep up. Even a big man over 210cm tall will move slowly laterally.
Just like you see a rocket flying towards you, can you avoid it if you want? Stop dreaming, you can only try to stop it with a barbed wire fence. Experts say this is feasible.
Davis waited for Yang Jian in front of the three-point line. Yang Jian moved laterally and threw it two meters away from the three-point line. The ball was thrown perfectly and hit the frame! 79 to 53, his 45th point.
Sun Zhengping laughed and said: "Only Yang Jian in the entire league can shoot this kind of ball. If other players do this, the coach will immediately ask them to leave the field and calm down."
Zhang Lijia said: "George Karl gave Yang Jian the greatest freedom of attack. He shot at will and really scored!"
Yang Jian's hand suffered from convulsions, and the third quarter became his performance time, scoring consecutive points.
When the Blazers players saw that this was not going to work, they began to closely attack him. No matter where he received the ball, two people immediately hit him.
Yang Jian doesn't force the shot, he distributes the ball to his teammates and then cuts. It doesn't matter if his teammates don't pass it to him, he just shoots and he grabs the rebound.
The person who comes out to cover is center Miller. When Lewis plays power forward, he always stretches outside the three-point line and waits for opportunities. The person responsible for guarding the pick and roll for the Trail Blazers is Dale Davis, and Rasheed Wallace can enter faster from the baseline.
Covering the basket.
Dunleavy's arrangement of the defensive system seemed reasonable, but Yang Jian immediately thought of the Trail Blazers' weakness, Rasheed Wallace was not good at rebounding.
Last season, Rashid, who is 211cm tall, had the best rebounding data of his career, averaging 7 rebounds in 35.1 minutes per game. He is so soft, averaging less than 10 rebounds per game in two of the first five seasons of his career.
to 5.
Rasheed Wallace was neither good at blocking, nor was he good at judging the placement of rebounds. He was like this until he retired.
When the Trail Blazers needed him most to rebound, he couldn't do the job well. It wasn't a matter of task distribution at all.
In the parallel world, Brian Grant went to the Heat, and after Sabonis retired, Rasheed had 8.2 rebounds in his peak season with the Trail Blazers. In the end, the management couldn't bear to send him away, and installed Zach Randolph as the core.
As long as Yang Jian focuses on grabbing rebounds, he can grab a lot. He averaged a triple-double in the finals. Dale Davis was also with the Pacers at the time.
Yang Jian has amazing reaction speed and judgment. He has a good memory and can remember the possible direction of the shot after it misses. He also has top-notch physical fitness. His only disadvantage in rebounding is his height and weight.
He played the Hawks offense in the positional battle, cut and caught the ball, hit the basket, drew a foul and made two free throws. He grabbed offensive rebounds twice and scored on tip-ins. During the counterattack, he did not break through and directly shot a three-pointer.
Three times I hit another one.
Unknowingly, Yang Jian scored another 18 points in the quarter, for a total of 54 points. The SuperSonics still had a chance to attack in the third quarter, and Yang Jian's position battle gave his teammates a signal.
Payton took the ball from the left to organize, and Miller and Danny Ferry, who came on the bench, made an elevator screen at the free throw line for Yang Jian, who was running without the ball. Yang Jian reversed from the basket and ran out of the three-point line, in the middle
After receiving the pass, he turned around and shot.
There was no interference in his shot this time and he hit the buzzer beater steadily.
In the Chinese national team, Yang Jian asked his teammates to practice the elevator door tactic as a big killer. Of course, the SuperSonics teammates also practiced it. Just like in the international arena, they rarely use this tactic.
The last attack of a single quarter is still a buzzer beater, and the referee generally will not call a screen foul. Moreover, the score difference between the two sides is huge. Regardless of whether Yang Jian scores or not, the result of the game will not change. Why should the referee be the bad guy?
After this goal, Yang Jian's scoring data just reached 57 points, 1 point higher than Chamberlain. The goal has been achieved, and he does not need to play again in the final quarter.
