Chapter 702 [Comprehensive surpassing, suitable for tactics]
Brad Miller grabbed the backcourt rebound and passed it to Yang Jian who ran to the middle.
Yang Jian caught the ball and advanced quickly, forming a 3-on-3 frontcourt.
At this time, if the Raptors players want to double-team Yang Jian, they have to leave Payton or Stephen Jackson open. In a positional battle, if Yang Jian is double-teamed, he will distribute the ball to his teammates, and others can cover up. If they double-team Yang Jian in a counterattack, one person will
It was leaked cleanly.
Yang Jian slowed down in front of the three-point line, dribbling the ball with his right hand to his left hand and retreating slightly, attracting Vince Carter to lean forward, and dribbling the ball behind his left hand to change the direction of his right hand.
He quickly started and passed Carter. He did not take it to the basket or give his opponent a chance to defend. He made a sudden stop inside the three-point line and shot the ball. The ball went hollow into the net! 6 to 2.
After scoring the goal, Yang Jian roared again, he is so fierce!
The home fans applauded one after another, and some Chinese fans stood up and held up Chinese slogans to support him.
Zhang Liji said: "Yang Jian scored consecutively in the opening game, which boosted the team's morale. His fans were all present."
Sun Zhengping said: "If he wins again this year, his number of championships will equal Magic Johnson. His number of MVPs and FMVPs is already two more than Magic's, and he is about to completely surpass him."
When the Raptors attacked, Carter received the ball and was closely followed by Yang Jian. He was unable to speed up inside the three-point line. Compared with Yang Jian, Carter, who is known for his physical fitness, actually looked a bit bulky.
When Yang Jian is seriously defending, he is like a physically enhanced version of Tony Allen, using physical confrontation to disrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm. The opponent has no way to break through and can only shoot against his defensive jumper. Carter takes the ball with his back and wants to
The shot must be turned around and a jump shot is required, which makes it more difficult to guarantee a hit rate.
Carter chose to pass the ball. After several passes, the Raptors players had no good chance to make a shot. As the 24-second attack time was approaching, Artest faced Stephen Jackson's defense and forced a layup that missed. Yang Jian grabbed the ball.
Court rebounds.
Jackson is 203cm tall and weighs 100kg. He is also a strong man, and he is not weak at all in a physical confrontation with Artest.
Yang Jian turned around and pushed forward quickly. Except for Miller, the other three Sonics would try their best to keep up.
Yang Jian slowed down two meters outside the left three-point line. Rashard Lewis saw that veteran Oakley was retreating relatively far, so he stopped with a tacit understanding and provided a cover for Yang Jian.
Yang Jian moved sideways to the right and dribbled the ball to the center, and made a sudden jumper one meter outside the three-point line.
Upon seeing this, Oakley hurriedly defended and jumped out. He was too late to take off, so he just stretched out his hand to interfere slightly. Carter was also too slow to get around the screen, and did not jump either.
Yang Jian made an easy shot with a picturesque posture and perfect rhythm. The ball hit the net hollowly! 9 to 2.
Raptors head coach Lenny Wilkens shook his head on the sidelines and did not call a timeout. Now this is the Raptors' strongest lineup, and it is difficult to adjust. It is not that the Raptors' defense is weak, but that Yang Jian's offense is too strong.
.
As a player, Wilkens played 1,077 games, averaging 16.5 points, 4.7 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game, shooting 43.2% from the field and 77.4% from the free throw line.
He was selected to the All-Star nine times, won the assists title in 1970, was elected to the Hall of Fame as a player and coach in 1989 and 1998 respectively, served as the assistant coach and head coach of the Dream Team in 1992 and 1996, and was also an NBA official five-time NBA player.
One of the top ten superstars.
Wilkens is definitely well-informed. He has basically played against or cooperated with all the famous superstars in NBA history. He has never seen a player with better personal ability than Yang Jian, and he can't solve it one-on-one.
Wilkens knows very well that Carter is no match for Yang Jian, but now he can only hope that Carter's shooting touch will improve. Because Carter is the biggest star of the Raptors, and the personal abilities of others are still a notch behind him.
.
Carter was playing a pick-and-roll with Antonio Davis in the middle. Lewis switched defenses and blocked Carter, preventing him from making a three-pointer. If he wanted to break through, there was someone defending him in front of him.
When Yang Jian saw Davis making an air cut, he did not go around the screen to chase Carter but withstood Davis. Carter lobbed the ball to Davis in the middle, which seemed to be a good misplaced attack opportunity.
Yang Jian took a step inside the free throw line to defend against Davis. The latter took the ball with his back, but was surprised to find that he missed it after two attempts.
In the regular season, Yang Jian never switches to defend inside players like this, there is no need to work so hard. The Raptors met the SuperSonics in the playoffs for the first time, and the two sides will not meet unless they advance to the finals.
If it were a few years ago, many inside players would be able to beat Yang Jian in isolation. After all, he is a shooting guard with a height of 193cm. However, Yang Jian's physical fitness has now been upgraded to 100, and his foot plate is a little more stable than before.
At this time, Davis was in a difficult situation. He was a center who had been selected to the All-Stars. It would be too embarrassing if he was out of position and couldn't hit the shooting guard. Although it was a bit far from the basket, he still chose to turn and throw.
Yang Jian didn't jump, he just raised his arms to interfere slightly. It was impossible for the referee to call him a defensive foul with this action. This defense was enough. Davis' touch was not good, and the ball bounced out of the frame.
Yang Jian immediately turned around and grabbed the backcourt rebound. Miller blocked Oakley on the right side, perfect defensive cooperation.
Knowing yourself and your enemy means winning every battle. Yang Jian had read the information of all the Raptors players before the game and remembered them all in his mind.
Davis' ability in low post singles is very poor. This season, his two-point shooting percentage from close range is only 30.4%, and this statistic in the playoffs is only 44%. As long as he is not allowed to hit the basket, his hook, throw and
There is no guarantee of a hit rate even if you take a shot.
In addition, Davis' mid-range shooting percentage in the first three rounds was very high, averaging 50% in 6 shots per game. Therefore, Yang Jian did not go after Carter but switched to guarding Davis, leaving him unable to catch the ball.
It's easy to shoot a jump shot from mid-range, but it's also impossible to cut to the basket easily.
Excellent defenders will not pursue blocking shots or stealing opponents every round, but will constantly disrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm and make the opponent uncomfortable.
In the SuperSonics position battle, Yang Jian was double-teamed by Artest and Carter as soon as he dribbled the ball past halftime. The defense became more intense. The Raptors players also wanted to disrupt Yang Jian's offensive rhythm and prevent him from making random moves.
Dribbling or shooting.
Yang Jian passed the ball to Stephen Jackson and started running without the ball.
Jackson took the ball in the middle but didn't shoot, and organized the offense in front of the three-point line. The coach didn't let him make easy jump shots because he was too tough. Rather than making jump shots, the coach expected his defense and fast break to hit the basket.
Payton ran up the baseline on the right side, and Miller screened him to block Snow.
Payton caught the ball and faced the frame, knowing that Snow could not cover it but did not take a shot. Yang Jian ran from the left baseline to the right corner. Payton saw the right opportunity and passed the ball over, and the triangle offensive formation was opened.
.
At the bottom line, Davis double-teamed Yang Jian, so he had to leave Miller and Snow in the low post to double-team, and he had to leave Payton open. Without double-teaming, Yang Jian had enough space on the right side to single out Carter.
The routine of the triangle offense is very simple, and all teams can play it. The key is to challenge super strong stars, otherwise it will be in vain.
Some Lakers fans said that Yang Jian is the player most suitable for the triangle offense, so he should consider joining the Lakers, and analyzed it.
This post was ridiculed by other fans on the Internet. Yang Jian is indeed suitable for the triangle offense, but he is also suitable for the pick-and-roll offense, the Eagles offense, the run-and-gun offense, Princeton and other tactics. He is also suitable for throwing away as soon as the half is over...
Yang Jian feinted with the ball and then changed direction to the left. He took one step past Carter who was chasing him, took another step to open up the space, and scored a 45-degree mid-range shot. 11 to 2.
Yang Jian made all five of his opening shots, accounting for all of the Sonics' scoring. Wilkens requested a timeout.
The Raptors won a game against the Sonics in the regular season, which was related to the poor performance of the Sonics' role players. More importantly, the Raptors players' excellent offense. In this game, the Sonics' defensive intensity was too high. If the Raptors' offense was blocked,
It will definitely fail miserably.
Wilkens was ready to change his offensive strategy and resolutely double-teamed Yang Jian, no longer testing Carter's personal ability. Even if he was ball-blind, he could see that Carter couldn't guard Yang Jian alone, and he was passed by many times in this moment.
