It is worth mentioning that the Sonics got 37 free throws in G4, while the Nets only got 16.
Nets players can hardly hit the penalty area, and president David Stern doesn't consider giving them any home whistles. Star whistles. That's too fake and will only cause dissatisfaction among fans.
Most of Yang Jian's free throws are normal whistles. He often gets misplaced breakthrough opportunities when playing pick-and-roll offenses. If the opponent's inside players don't foul, he can easily get layups.
Yang Jian averaged 40 triple-doubles per game in the finals and won the sixth championship of his career. It was also his sixth FMVP, which was another two milestones.
He also got a bumper harvest in terms of points. Too many players on the team have been selected to the All-Stars. Counting veterans Mitch Richmond and Kevin Willis who did not make the playoff roster, there are enough
7 people.
At the same time, Yang Jian changed the history of Shaquille O'Neal, and O'Neal lost an FMVP and provided an attribute point.
The unlucky O'Neal is no longer talking about guest appearances in Huaer Pictures movies. All he can think about is how to defeat Yang Jian and win a championship ring.
If O'Neal does not have a championship, he will have no historical status. Ewing has a championship, and among the four major centers, only O'Neal is left without a championship.
Winners and losers, many Lakers fans now believe that O'Neal is overrated. He only has good statistics and cannot drive his teammates.
Some people think that O'Neal is a cancer because he is too lazy and does not train hard. Kobe is much better and is the most diligent among the players. He will definitely become better in the future.
What? Kobe Bryant struck at a critical moment in a crucial game? If Kobe didn't shoot at that time, who could? If he passed the ball, his teammates would definitely not be able to make the shot.
No one else on the Lakers contributed points because they were not eliminated by the Sonics. No one on the Nets contributed points either. In a parallel world, they were the swept runner-up.
The Nets are only good enough to be swept and cannot win the championship.
The reward for Yang Jian's sixth championship in his career is a high-level elixir of elixir, and he has already saved three of them. The reward for his sixth fmvp is a high-level healing potion, and he already has three of them.
At this point, Yang Jian's important honors have equaled that of Michael Jordan in the parallel world. Jordan only has more Defensive Player of the Year awards and four more scoring titles than him.
But Yang Jian is 26 years old this year, and Jordan is still empty-handed at his age, not even a championship ring.
At the press conference, a reporter asked Yang Jian: "Now that you have tied Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in championships, do you think you are already the number one player in NBA history?"
Yang Jian smiled and said: "Whether or not I am the number one player should be judged by the fans, not by me. I am just a basketball player who particularly likes to win and is very good at winning."
He won't say that he surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. That would only give people an excuse, and some people would say that he doesn't respect his predecessors.
The reporter asked: "At your age, you can definitely still play in the NBA for many years. How many championships do you predict you can win?"
"I don't know, let's see. Anyway, I don't have any pressure, and few people can compete with me for honor. Playing basketball is my hobby, and as long as I can still play, I will keep playing."
It is impossible for Yang Jian to retire suddenly like Jordan. Who makes his system the "God of Basketball" system? If he can get benefits from singing, making movies, or doing other things, then he will consider doing more other things.
He must regard playing basketball as his main job and be willing to do so. He thinks basketball is a really interesting sport, and he still enjoyed playing it even if he didn't make any money in his previous life.
The best thing is that he doesn't need to spend a lot of time practicing. If he has to practice hard, maintain self-discipline for a long time, eat food and even practice boy skills, he will still be unable to defeat his opponent most of the time, and will be tortured and beaten.
Question... He probably doesn't like this kind of basketball career that much.
He likes to see others suffer setbacks, and does not like to experience these bad things personally. Without him, his life in the previous life was not satisfactory.
As we all know, people who are "unsatisfied in life" can easily become a black guy, James black, this black or that black. Anyway, he doesn't want to recognize a black daddy and fans each other every day. So his goal is to outperform all American stars and fulfill the ultimate wish of the black guys.
, proving that these stars are nothing special and are just products of the star-making movement.
Now, his goal is almost achieved.
The reporter asked: "No player has ever achieved so many honors at your age. How do you feel about this?"
"I enjoy the benefits of fame, but I also have some worries. Being a star does not give you so much freedom. People will pay attention to your every move. If you do something wrong, someone will catch you. I stand on the moral high ground and spray me.
There are a lot of people out there, but if I had to do it over again, I would still want to be a star."
Yang Jian deliberately complained and said: "My feelings are similar to those of other celebrities. You can't go out casually. You have to bring bodyguards in public places. Everything else is fine."
In fact, he often goes out, but other people don't know. Let people think that he stays at home most of the time.
China's special correspondent asked: "Will you return to China this year?"
"No, I have already agreed to join the national team in the United States. I have played a lot of games this season. I will be too tired when I return home, so I might as well take a rest."
This year's World Championships was held in Indianapolis, and it didn't mean much for him to participate in the training of the Chinese men's basketball team. For him, it was just some basic training, and the two sides were not in the same rhythm.
A Chinese reporter asked: "Will you represent the national team in the Asian Games after the World Championships?"
The 14th Asian Games was held in Busan, South Korea from September 29, 2002 to October 14, 2002.
Yang Jian shook his head and said with a smile: "You don't need to use a bull's-eye to kill a chicken, right? Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi will defeat their opponents in Asia. If I go there, I will have to sit on the sidelines for half of every game. Everyone will be unhappy."
Wang Zhizhi is a first-round pick. There is no need to worry about the next contract. There will be no chance of not returning to the team to train and participate in the summer league. Wang Zhizhi has already started in the Rockets, how can he play in the summer league again?
There is no way that the men's basketball team will lose to the South Korean team this time, and Yang Jian is not interested in going to Busan to experience South Korea's black whistle.
Next week, Koreans will be criticized by football fans all over the world because of the black whistle. The Football World Cup is underway, and the Korean team is about to eliminate the Portuguese team to qualify for the group stage. Then they don’t even want to lose face, relying on the black whistle to eliminate the favorite to win the championship.
Italy and Spain advanced to the semi-finals.
A female reporter asked: "Will you make a new movie this summer?"
"No, I don't have time to prepare a new film. Suji 4 will have to wait a little longer before meeting the audience. And if I have time, I would also like to make other types of films. I am confident in my acting skills."
Chicken Little 4 achieved a super high box office of 76 million US dollars in its first week. The opening box office and reputation were better than the previous two films. This result is just not as good as "Spider-Man" and "Star Wars Episode 2". The total box office in North America exceeded 200 million US dollars.
There is no difficulty, and it can even hit 300 million.
At the end of the interview, Yang Jian thanked the SuperSonics coaching staff and teammates.
This summer, the SuperSonics will definitely undergo a major overhaul, and at least half of their players will leave.
The four veterans, Ewing, Richmond, Dell Curry, and Danny Ferry, will retire. This has been decided long ago.
Mobley, Lewis, Stephen Jackson, Anthony Carter, Tyronn Lue, Kevin Willis and others are all free agents, and it is impossible to keep them all.
As long as other teams offer high salaries to poach people, they can even poach the SuperSonics, and only five people have contracts.
After getting the championship ring, all the SuperSonics players want to get high salaries, go to other teams to play the main force, etc. The SuperSonics management is not willing to keep too many people. After establishing a dynasty, the players' mentality will change.
Not so desperate anymore.
The SuperSonics returned to Seattle that night and held a celebration party in Seattle as usual.
Major media reported on the game, and in China and the United States, the number of people discussing Yang Jian far outnumbered the number of football fans.
Americans don't like football very much, there are not as many football fans as there are NBA fans.
Chinese football fans were once again disappointed. The men's football team participated in the World Cup for the first time in history, which made the Chinese people excited for a while. Then the men's football team lost two consecutive games in the group stage, with a net loss of six goals and was eliminated early.
The men's basketball team is already a strong team in the world, and the men's football team's desire to win the World Cup can only happen in a dream, and even online articles dare not write that.
