Chapter 739 [Bonus! If the old does not go, the new does not come]
On March 11, the Sonics' 22-game winning streak came to an end when they lost to the Mavericks 113-119 away from home.
"Mad scientist" Nelson served as coach and created a very extreme offensive lineup for the Mavericks.
Before the mid-term trade deadline, the Mavericks traded for center Reeve LaFrentz, who can shoot three-pointers, and point guard Van Exel, who can shoot three-pointers, and sent away power forward Juwan Howard.
It is worth mentioning that after the Nuggets sent away their starting center, they gave Battelle a short contract and allowed him to enter the NBA as a non-draft player. There are currently 4 Chinese players playing in the NBA. Yang Jian and the "Three Major Mobile Players"
Great Wall".
The Nuggets' goal is to make things worse, and there is no requirement for record. The transaction is completely an act of "assist" the Mavericks.
After the trade, the Mavericks' offense became stronger. The five starting players all had shooting range beyond the three-point line, and the formation could be completely stretched.
Steve Nash, Michael Finley, and Dirk Nowitzki scored 20 points, and Van Exel, as the team's sixth man, also scored 17 points. Facing the Mavericks' multi-point success, Yang
Jane scored 45 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists but failed to lead the team to victory.
In back-to-back games, the SuperSonics defeated the Rockets 138-101 away from home.
Mobley, the sixth man, had hot hands. He made 16 of 24 shots, 6 of 10 three-pointers, and 4 of 5 free throws. He scored a career-high 42 points, 4 rebounds, and 1 assist in a single game.
Mobley provides an attribute point, and many of his points come from Yang Jian's assists.
Yang Jian scored a huge triple-double of 23 points, 15 rebounds and 17 assists. Three times, he grabbed backcourt rebounds and immediately sent precise long passes to Mobley for the fast break. His rapid advancement also made Rockets rookie Jay
Sen-Richardson felt helpless.
Richardson won the dunk title at the All-Star Weekend this year. He has outstanding jumping ability and can make some beautiful dunks. However, Richardson is not fast. He is always passed by Yang Jian when he is on the screen.
Chasing and defending is also difficult.
The SuperSonics counterattacked resolutely and seized the Rockets' weakness to attack.
The Rockets' starting shooting guard Michael Dickerson is the leading outside scorer and signed a high-paying long-term contract with the team last summer. As a result, Dickerson only played 6 games this season before he tore the cruciate ligament in his left knee and was seriously injured.
Rockets owner Alexander was almost crying because he knew he had signed a garbage contract.
Outside players who suffered ligament tear injuries have not been able to return to their peak form after their comeback. Dixon is a swingman who relies on speed and flexibility to play. His confrontation ability is very poor, and his condition will definitely decline.
As a result, Wang Zhizhi got a lot of performance opportunities and became one of the team's important scoring points. He averaged 28 minutes per game, scoring 12.7 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1 assist, and 0.7 blocks, shooting 44% from the field and 41.4% from the three-point range.
With this data this year, Wang Zhizhi doesn't have to worry about his next contract. His defense is terrible, and he can't fight for rebounds. If he can stay in the NBA for a few more years, he will be successful.
Now everyone knows that Wang Zhizhi is an excellent open-space inside man who can play a tactical role on the offensive end. Such big men are very popular now, and there are teams willing to sign him even if the Rockets do not renew his contract.
On March 15, the SuperSonics played against the Wizards at home, and Yang Jian made Jordan very embarrassed again.
Jordan played 22 minutes, making 6 of 17 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, 14 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, with a shooting percentage of 35.3%. Yang Jian played 25 minutes, making 10 of 15 shots, 3 of 5 three-pointers, and 4 free throws.
4, scored 27 points, 3 rebounds and 10 assists.
The time the two played was very short, because the Sonics led by 31 points at halftime, allowing the game to enter garbage time.
In Yang Jian's view, he had already saved face for Jordan. If he had not given face, Yang Jian continued to play in the third quarter and led the team to beat the Wizards by more than 50 points. There was almost no suspense.
Yang Jian played against the Wizards twice and did not try his best to score points. Bullying the 39-year-old Jordan will not bring him a sense of accomplishment, let alone any sense of inheritance.
The game between Kobe and Jordan is the inheritance, because Kobe is an out-and-out imitation show of Jordan, and his playing style is almost the same. Yang Jian's match against Jordan is like using actions to prove that Jordan's playing style is not worth learning from outside players, and guard training
Face frame technology is king.
In the end, the SuperSonics defeated the Wizards 125 to 80. In the substitute battle between the two sides, the SuperSonics still took the initiative.
The small point guard Tyronn Lue broke out and beat the Wizards' bench.
He played 32 minutes, making 9 of 13 shots, 5 of 5 three-pointers, and 3 of 3 free throws. He scored a career-high 26 points in a single game and provided 6 assists.
George Karl proved that he is not a coach who only hugs Yang Jian. After Yang Jian left the field, he also had a way to arrange appropriate tactics to ensure the team's offensive firepower.
Tyronn Lue is a point guard who is very fast and can shoot suddenly. After his teammates are separated, he can take advantage of his flexibility by playing pick-and-roll with the center.
Rookie center Dalembert's performance in garbage time is also very eye-catching. He is very active in air cuts, catches the ball and makes layups that are difficult for opponents to guard. As long as the defender lures the opponent's center and throws the ball into the sky, he often
Can perform alley-oop dunks.
On the defensive end, Dalembert can grab rebounds and block shots, and his performance is equally good.
As a pick at the end of the first round, everyone felt that Dalembert was low-paid and high-powered. The SuperSonics management signed a four-year rookie contract with him and made a lot of money.
Even if it is difficult to renew the contract in the future, the Sonics can still take advantage of Dalembert's rookie bonus, just like Mobley.
An alley-oop collaboration between Tyronn Lue and Dalembert in the final quarter was selected as the best goal of the round. The two played a pick-and-roll on the left, and Tyronn Lue broke through in the middle to attract an inside defense and threw the ball high.
Starting. Dalembert made an air cut to catch the ball with both hands, glided to the middle, then sideways and smashed with his right hand to score!
With the addition of the Haitian center, the Sonics have become a bit of an alley-oop city again this year.
At the end of the month, the SuperSonics lost to the Lakers 104-111 on the road, which was only their fifth defeat.
O'Neal broke out, playing 38 minutes, making 18 of 24 shots, 9 of 11 free throws, and scored 45 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists. When O'Neal's free throw shooting rate reached 81.8%, he was an unstoppable killer inside.
Kobe was once again at a disadvantage against Yang Jian, with only 19 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, and his shooting percentage was 43.8%.
Yang Jian scored 38 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists, shooting 60% from the field, and had 4 turnovers and 5 fouls. In the eyes of fans, his performance was average and he made a lot of mistakes.
In March, the SuperSonics only lost two games. Yang Jian continued to win the Western Conference Player of the Month, only one month away from completing the sweep.
The SuperSonics locked up the best record in the league early, and it is difficult for other teams to win 60 games.
Yang Jian did not spend time rehearsing or recording songs in the recording studio this season. In addition to playing basketball, he also went on dates with his girlfriends. Most of his energy is on the court, and it is difficult to beat the Sonics without him.
In April, Yang Jian's system mall was refreshed and some good things were released.
Among them was a high-grade elixir worth 5 points that could guarantee youth for 10 years. Yang Jian bought it. He also spent 5 points to increase the storage space in his pocket by one cubic meter, up to 4 cubic meters.
In addition, he bought another challenge card and saved 4 of them.
This season has entered the second half, and Yang Jian still has 30 points left after consumption. He believes that "if the old ones don't go, the new ones won't come back." Yang Jian won't buy some elementary props. Before the system refresh, almost all were elementary items.
This month, Yang Jian used an intermediate treatment potion on Winona Ryder.
After the two got together, Yang Jian discovered some problems with Winona. She was a bit neurotic and suffered from depression. In the most severe cases, she needed to take a lot of medication to control her condition.
She couldn't bear the short separation and wanted to stay with Yang Jian all the time, even if she didn't want to film the scene. When they were separated, she would always leave some souvenirs on her body, saying it was as if Yang Jian was by her side.
Yang Jian couldn't stay by her side all day, and other people would have objections, so he gave her an injection.
It was just an intermediate treatment potion, but the effect was surprisingly good. The black technology props produced by the system were really effective for depression. Winona suddenly understood many things and became healthier.
She used to be in a sub-healthy state and was very thin, but now she has stopped drinking.
Yang Jian was very curious about the effect of the advanced treatment potion. It is estimated that as long as the patient is still breathing, a shot will be enough for him to be alive and kicking...
