As soon as the commentator finished speaking, Yang Jian's "reply" came.
Yang Jian still held the ball and started a pick-and-roll with Brad Miller two steps outside the three-point line, and everyone else was pulled away. O'Neal was forced to switch out because he knew that if he didn't switch, Yang Jian could shoot endlessly. There were many times
The performance of making more than 10 three-pointers in a single game.
O'Neal was in front of the three-point line. Although he did not jump, his center of gravity tilted forward. Yang Jian suddenly changed direction on the right and accelerated, "flying close to the ground" passing by O'Neal, with an inclination like a motorcycle entering a corner at high speed.
The moment he started, his calves were almost parallel to the ground, and the sudden drop in his center of gravity forced him to put his left hand on the ground to protect himself. In an instant, O'Neal and Kobe were left behind him.
Yang Jian stepped on the penalty area line at 50 degrees and jumped up, gliding for a distance and scored with a right-hand tomahawk smash! 5 to 4.
"Cobra" Horace Grant defended to the basket without jumping or fouling. He dodged as soon as he saw that he had no time to take off, and he was not dunked.
He had been teammates with Jordan for a while, and he knew very well what it meant to be the first player in the league. That was not someone he could forcefully hold on to when his defense was obviously slow.
Zhang Lijia shouted: "Beautiful, here are the top five goals today."
Sun Zhengping said: "Yang Jian has the most dunks this year since he entered the league, 144 dunks in a single season. It is hard to imagine that this is the data of an outside player. Jordan, nicknamed the Flying Man, has not dunked so many times in a single season."
Zhang Lili said: "Yang Jian's breakthrough is too strong. Some actions that require extremely strong body control cannot be done by others. He is familiar with them and can do them at his fingertips."
When the Lakers attacked, they still handed the ball to O'Neal in the low post. O'Neal repeated his old trick, took two steps to the baseline and turned around to get stronger. This time, Miller's quick eyesight and hands were about to cause a foul.
O'Neal was sent to the free throw line and missed two free throws amid the boos of the home fans. Miller picked up the backcourt rebound.
Zhang Li said with a smile: "This is the reason why the SuperSonics dare to arrange players to defend O'Neal alone. O'Neal's scoring efficiency is not as high as Yang Jian, so they can use shark-cutting tactics to reduce his scoring efficiency. In the previous two playoffs, O'Neal's free throw shooting percentage was
Less than 50%.”
Sun Zhengping said: "He is one of the few stars whose free throw scoring efficiency is not as good as his strong play. In his rookie season, his free throw shooting rate was 59.2%, which was not bad, but it got worse and worse after that."
O'Neal recently said when talking about the "shark-killing tactic": "My opponents used this tactic because they were afraid of me, and it didn't work."
In fact, Aopang knows best whether it works or not. He said this to cheer himself up, but cheering him up really didn't work for him.
The SuperSonics were running a pick-and-roll, and Kobe bypassed the screen and caught up in time. Yang Jian didn't force the ball, and passed the ball to Payton, who was in charge, and started running without the ball.
Payton once again played a pick-and-roll with Miller in the middle, targeting O'Neal's point and forcing him to defend.
Yang Jian first ran to the left baseline, and then slipped to the right under the cover of Lewis. Payton held the ball and walked to the right. He didn't break through and was not in a hurry. He saw the opportunity and passed the ball to Yang Jian.
At this time, the right side became the weak side. Lewis attracted Horace Grant's defense on the left baseline, and Payton attracted Fisher's defense. Even if Fisher tried to flank Yang Jian, it would be of little use. He was too short to block the shot.
The ability is not good. If Yang Jian plays singles on the right, O'Neal has to double-team, and Miller has to be released in the air.
The Sonics are using their own methods to retaliate. They can also create singles opportunities for their stars. What the two teams compare is the scoring efficiency of their stars. See who can't stand being double-teamed first, and then the others will open up.
Yang Jian got the ball in the bottom corner and then feinted to the left. Kobe followed the defense and moved laterally. Yang Jian dribbled the ball behind his left hand to his right hand, dribbled under his crotch and then to his left hand. He dribbled the ball and retreated to perform a fake move of praying to Buddha.
.
Kobe was worried about his jump shot, so he leaned forward and took a small step, but was staggered. Yang Jian held the ball with his left hand and changed direction to the baseline to break through, and quickly picked the basket with his right hand and scored. 7 to 4.
O'Neal returned to the penalty area and jumped from the side to block the shot. He was a step too late, and Grant was also a step too late to cover up. Yang Jian was too fast, and he instantly hit the basket after getting rid of the ball.
After scoring the goal, Yang Jian clenched his fists and roared, and the home fans cheered.
The Lakers attacked, and O'Neal once again asked for the ball in the low post to beat Miller. He turned around in the middle to get the ball to face the frame, and took a step forward to squeeze out Miller and dunk the basketball with one hand. 7 to 6.
O'Neal used all his strength on this shot, and the basket seemed to be pulled down by him. Miller did not commit a foul. If he commits another foul, he should be replaced and rested. He must stay on the court.
In the SuperSonics position battle, Yang Jian received the ball from the outside and played a pick-and-roll with Miller. This made it difficult for Kobe to defend closely. The distance between the two was too close when he was close. Once he bumped into Miller, he could not quickly get around the screen.
This time Yang Jian went to the left and brought it to 45 degrees, which attracted O'Neal to switch defenses and Kobe to pursue him. He passed the ball behind his left hand to the middle. When he forced a breakthrough, O'Neal couldn't follow him, otherwise he would go directly to the basket.
As a result, Miller got a big open space in the middle and easily hit a jumper and three-pointer. 10 to 6.
Zhang Lili said: "This is Miller's role on the court. He cannot dominate the penalty area like O'Neal, but he catches and shoots very accurately, which O'Neal cannot do."
Sun Zhengping said: "Miller was the last pick in 1998. He probably didn't expect that he would be able to play so well one day. Now the three important players of the SuperSonics were all rookies that year and were brought out by Yang Jian."
Seeing Yang Jian's continuous performance, Kobe finally started to attack with the ball on his own.
After receiving the ball, he did not take it to the side to pass to O'Neal. Instead, he dribbled the ball continuously in the middle, trying to find a breakthrough opportunity. Finally, he saw Yang Jian leaning forward, holding the ball in his right hand and immediately changed direction to the left.
Unexpectedly, Yang Jian not only leaned forward but also took a step forward. He was so fast that he was in front of Kobe in an instant. His hands were also very fast, and he accurately knocked the basketball away with his right hand and passed under Kobe's crotch.
Kobe's turn to save the ball was not as fast as Yang Jian's head-on sprint. Yang Jian picked up the basketball first and went for a fast break, while Kobe fell to the ground and watched him go away.
No one could make up the defense. Yang Jian took off one step in front of the free throw line and dunked the basketball with his elegant hips! 12 to 6.
Zhang Lili shouted: "Super long-distance crotch dunk, Yang Jian started to perform!"
Sun Zhengping said: "This will also be a perfect score in the dunk contest. No one except him can complete this kind of action at this distance, not even Carter."
The home fans went crazy, cheering for a long time, and Yang Jian's roar was completely drowned out.
"Zen Master" Jackson was as steady as a rock on the sidelines, without any intention of calling a timeout, and began to sit in meditation again. Sitting in meditation is useful for him many times, but it didn't work today.
Letting the players make adjustments on the court may not necessarily develop in a good direction. Kobe scored a lot of points against the Spurs in the last round, so it doesn't matter if he adjusts in singles, but today it is not a good choice for him to play Yang Jian in singles.
Kobe couldn't care about that much and was a little hot-headed. All he could think about was that Yang Jian scored 9 points, but he didn't score a single point, and all the data were zero.
In fact, it was not zero. He also made a mistake. The result of him playing Yang Jian again in isolation was another hit to his statistics. He dribbled the ball into the three-point line and made a sudden stop jumper in the middle. After serious interference,
Bottom out.
This is not an efficient shooting area for Kobe at all, but O'Neal is in the low post. If he goes to play in the low post again, the penalty area will be too crowded. The best strategy is for O'Neal to pull out the screen first and wait for an alley-oop, while Kobe goes to the low post for singles. The pre-game coach
It wasn't arranged like this, they didn't have a tacit understanding.
The ball bounced far away, Yang Jian picked up the backcourt rebound, turned around and made a long pass. His pass was accurately sent to Payton who was running down the left side, and he sprinted at full speed to start the fast break.
Payton singled out Fisher and used European basketball to score .14 to 6.
Even if he doesn't score, Yang Jian may still grab an offensive rebound. He has already rushed into the penalty area, and the Lakers players are not so active in defending Payton.
Kobe looked a little flustered. His physical fitness was top-notch, but Yang Jian was much faster than him...
