On June 10, the Lakers vs. Pistons G3 kicked off in Los Angeles.
The Pistons players resolutely double-teamed Yang Jian from the beginning. After two games, they no longer expected Yang Jian to miss his shots. Even if Yang Jian's shooting percentage was 20 percentage points lower, it was higher than Isiah Thomas's.
It's really terrible.
The result of the double-teaming was of course useless, and the Pistons still couldn't guard Yang Jian.
They simply don't have time to study ways to restrict Yang Jian, and there is nothing they can do about people with this style of play. Even if they have time to study, it is useless. Unless the league changes the rules, Yang Jian will be called an illegal screen by the referee if he double-teams without the ball.
Yang Jian's ability to break double teams is super strong, so he needs a defensive expert to block his passing route. Moreover, his teammates are not good at scoring, and the open space cannot guarantee scoring efficiency.
The Lakers are obviously not that good. The bench players are poor and the three starters have good scoring abilities.
In the first quarter, Yang Jian actively played pick-and-roll and distributed the ball to create opportunities for his teammates. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and James Worthy scored consecutively.
On the defensive end, Yang Jian also changed his style of play. When Laimbeer received the ball, he let the Pistons' core Thomas several times to the low post to help Kareem Abdul-Jabbar defend Laimbeer.
Does Kareem Abdul-Jabbar need the help of his teammates to defend him? Of course not, Laimbeer is not a very offensive player, and it is difficult to average double figures against the Lakers.
Yang Jian did this purely for the sake of reasonable release, otherwise his strength would not allow him to lead the team to play five games with the Pistons.
The result made Yang Jian very disappointed. Thomas and Joe Dumars couldn't make open three-pointers. Most of the time, they chose to take a step forward and then make a mid-range shot. With one more step, Yang Jian could save and interfere with the shot.
After some operations, Yang Jian not only did not become a defensive vulnerability, but also appeared to be very defensive.
On the offensive end, Yang Jian constantly targeted Laimbeer's attack, playing pick-and-rolls on his side. Whichever post Laimbeer was guarding would pull out to cover, and play pick-and-rolls with Yang Jian.
Laimbeer was forced to take a rest, and Yang Jian targeted Ma Hong again, mismatching the Pistons, the two guys with the most bad tempers.
Ma Hong was suspended in the first game because of Yang Jian. He was abused again just after he came back and was about to go crazy.
He has always thought highly of himself, thinking that he was the defensive core of the Pistons. But now, he could clearly see the contempt in Yang Jian's eyes, and it seemed that he didn't take him to heart at all.
After halftime, the Lakers led by 22 points, and the game was one-sided again.
Yang Jian's big core play is the key to the Lakers' victory. He always has a way to make his opponents uncomfortable. He scored a double-double of 21 points, 4 rebounds and 13 assists at halftime, including 8 assists in the first quarter.
Pistons players have an ominous premonition that if they continue to play like this, Yang Jian may hit super figures of 3020 or even 4020.
Yang Jian only scored fewer points, but the Lakers' scores related to him are still above 70 points.
Yang Jian plays super statistics in every game. How can the Pistons, who are known for their defense, tolerate this? In the past, the Pistons bullied other teams' stars, surrounding Jordan and Larry Bird, but now they are defeated by Yang Jian alone.
Bullied...
The defensive actions of several Pistons players are getting bigger and bigger, gradually going beyond the scope of normal defense. Especially Ma Hong, his purpose is no longer to guard Yang Jian, but to seriously injure him.
Ma Hong knew that if the Pistons wanted to win, the only way left was to injure Yang Jian.
The one who hurts the most people on the Pistons is Laimbeer, but when it comes to the one who is the worst and most capable, most fans will choose Ma Hong. Because Laimbeer hurts people with small moves and rarely fights with people. Mahon hurts people with big moves.
, often fight with others.
Ma Hong was the 12th pick in the second round in 1980. His talent was limited, but he was not convinced by anyone. He had a gang background, was unscrupulous on the court, and was the Pistons' number one hitter. The famous thorny Rodman also saw Ma Hong.
Be obedient, Ma Hong is his master, he teaches you how to do evil.
Ma Hong is very good at fighting and often takes the initiative to attack on the court. If the opponent is provocative, he can also fight with the opponent. Moreover, Ma Hong is very dirty, and Jordan has suffered greatly this year.
In the second game of the Eastern Conference Finals, Jordan passed Ma Hong with the ball and tried to get to the basket for a layup. Unexpectedly, Ma Hong turned around and punched Jordan, making Jordan unable to stand up on the ground for a long time. In the fourth game, he
He also hit Jordan on the head with his elbow. If the hit was serious, Jordan might have suffered a bloody head and a concussion.
Jordan was tricked by Mahomes many times, but the league never imposed a ban on Mahorn. After being bullied like this, it is no wonder that Jordan was beaten to tears after the Bulls were eliminated in the 1989-90 season.
Mahon's most common dirty trick is the flying elbow. He jumps up and appears to be rushing to interfere with the opponent's shot or layup. In fact, he does not extend his hand but attacks the offensive player with his elbow.
Three minutes into the third quarter, something finally happened on the court.
Yang Jian played a pick-and-roll and passed Laimbeer from the right wing, jumped to the basket, and Ma Hong, who had planned for a long time, finally seized the opportunity to sneak attack Yang Jian. He retreated to the basket and jumped, not facing the person but the ball, and headed toward Yang
Jane is just an elbow.
Something unexpected happened to Ma Hong. Yang Jian's reaction speed was ridiculously fast. He passed the ball without jumping to the highest point, then he ducked in the air and blocked Ma Hong's elbow, and landed smoothly on the ground.
This action is very beautiful, it looks like the two of them are performing a kung fu movie on the court.
After Yang Jian landed, he did not choose to tolerate it. What he did next shocked all the fans. He stepped forward and hit Ma Hong hard in the ribs with his left hook. Ma Hong was caught off guard and bent over.
, Yang Jian followed up with a right hook that hit Ma Hong on the chin.
Bang! The audience watching the game live on TV heard the sound.
Yang Jian's punch was so strong that he even jumped up. He wanted to use the "Dragon and Tiger Dance", but he didn't have much time and would be stopped by the person who started the fight, so he hesitated to use Shenglong Fist in case of trouble.
He directly knocked out Ma Hong with this punch, causing Ma Hong to fall backward and fall into coma. The scene was very scary.
Yang Jian was so ferocious that Isiah Thomas, who was very close to him, was shocked. The assassin did not dare to step forward to take action. Yang Jian knocked down Ma Hong with two punches. If his small body went up, wouldn't he be looking for death? He would get a blow.
I'm afraid my brains will be knocked out if I punch him.
Laimbeer didn't go up to hit Yang Jian. Let's not say whether he could hit him or not. If he went up to fight and was suspended, the Pistons would be completely out of luck. Even if Yang Jian is suspended for the next game, the Lakers will win because the Pistons will lose two starters.
Insider.
At this time, the Pistons players had calmed down. In fact, they were bullying the weak and afraid of the strong, and suspected that Yang Jian knew Chinese Kung Fu.
Ranbir rushed towards Yang Jian and it was okay to mean it. "Don't even stop me, I'll kill him."
Oops, I wasn't fast enough and was stopped by the referee.
In short, it's not that Laimbeer doesn't want to avenge his teammates, it's that his distance is a bit far and his movements are slow. He can't slap the referee away first and then deal with Yang Jian, right? Several people from the Lakers have also come up, unless he has
There really is an axe, otherwise this revenge cannot be avenged.
The referee stepped forward to separate the players on both sides. Without hesitation, he called Yang Jian a second-degree flagrant foul and sent him off the field. He also called the Pistons' team doctor to come in.
As soon as Ma Hong saw it, he couldn't continue the game, and the referee was a little bit noisy. This conflict was more serious than the first game. The referee must bear the responsibility. The league will blame him for not grasping the scale of the whistle and making the situation out of control.
When a player deliberately collides violently with an opponent, causing injury to the opponent, or causing a large-scale conflict between the two parties, the referee will punish him with a second-level flagrant foul and be directly expelled from the game. He will not even be eligible to watch the game on the sidelines. In addition,
In addition, the opponent gets two free throw opportunities and also has the ball once.
After the game, the league is likely to impose additional fines and suspensions on players who have received Level 2 flagrant fouls.
Yang Jian's shot was too harsh and it was impossible for Ma Hong to complete the free throw. The Pistons could send the person with the most accurate free throw to replace him.
Ma Hong lay miserably on the court. After seeing it, the team doctor immediately concluded that he would not be able to play in the next game, ending the season early. In his condition, he must have a broken jaw...
