Yang Jian achieved a total of three milestones in this season's finals.
He led the Sonics to complete 4 consecutive championships, breaking a record that no one could break since 1970. The Celtics completed 8 consecutive championships in 1966, which was too long ago. Everyone thinks that the SuperSonics' 4 consecutive championships
The crown contains more gold.
This is the seventh championship in Yang Jian's career, surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's six championships. Currently, the only players who have won more championships than him are the players who have experienced the Celtics' eight consecutive championships.
Yang Jian also won his 7th FMVP unanimously, averaging 35 points, 6 rebounds, 13.4 assists, 2.8 steals and 1.2 blocks per game, shooting 55.9% from the field, 50% from three-point range, and 90% from free throws.
No one can compete with Yang Jian. Brad Miller, the second best performer in the SuperSonics, averaged 15.6 points, 7.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.8 blocks per game.
Lewis averaged 17.8 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2 assists per game, but his three shooting percentages were not as good as Miller's. Miller's field goal percentage was 54.7%, the three-point shooting percentage was 50%, and the free throw percentage was 87%, which is very efficient.
Both of them have proven that they are worthy of the title of All-Star and can make a difference when they come on the court. Payton, Kemp, Bowen and others also performed well, and Billups played very well in two games...
The rewards Yang Jian received were high-grade elixir of youth, skill upgrade card, and dream fulfillment card.
Yang Jian also received 9 points provided by teammates, from Payton, Kemp, Lewis, Miller, Ginobili, Billups, Charles Oakley, Carlos Boozer, Mookie Bray
Locke.
There are a total of 14 people on the team, and 10 of them, including Yang Jian, have been selected as All-Stars in the past or in the future. If they are all in their prime, the Sonics will be an All-Star team.
Yao Ming also contributed 1 point. He averaged 25 points, 10.2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1.4 blocks per game, shooting 54.5% from the field, 33.3% from the three-point range, and 72.7% from the free throw line.
Brand averaged 17.6 points, 8.4 rebounds, 3 assists and 1.6 blocks per game, shooting 47.6% from the field and 75% from the free throw line.
Judging from this finals, Yao Ming's performance is more reliable, and it is only a matter of time for him to counterattack and become the team leader.
It's hard for the American media to brag about Brand even if they want to. Although Yao Ming lacks physical strength in the final quarter, Brand is also the type who must lose his chain at critical moments and is invisible in the final quarter.
Yang Jian commented on Yao Ming, saying that he is the second active center after Shaquille O'Neal, but did not give Brand any title. In the power forward position, Brand is definitely not ranked.
In fact, Brand was selected as an All-Star starter thanks to the votes of Chinese fans. If he hadn't been teammates with Yao Ming, not many people would have known him. They only knew him because of the 2002 World Championships, when they saw him disgraced in the American Dream Team 5.
.
The only game the Bulls won was mainly due to Yao Ming's display of power and the convulsions of outside players in the final quarter, and it had little to do with Brand.
During the finals, Yao Ming's popularity soared and he got a new nickname. Because Yang Jian was called "Er Lang Shen", Yao Ming's nickname was also related to "Journey to the West" and was called "The Bull Demon King" by netizens.
I don’t know how Yao Ming feels about this. If he doesn’t leave the Bulls, he will definitely be an old Minotaur in 10 years, rather than a rookie player who was hacked to death by a Minotaur while playing World of Warcraft.
Tim Duncan also provided 1 attribute point. He should have led the Spurs to the championship and won FMVP. The pinnacle game of Duncan's career was when he blocked Kenyon Martin in G6 of the Finals and his near quadruple-double performance was also criticized by Butterfly.
Gone.
In the future, if Ma Jian says "Duncan is not the number one power forward in NBA history" again, he will not be criticized by netizens. Duncan will probably not be included in the fans' discussion by then. He has not won the regular season MVP yet.
When he is about to retire, it is estimated that no Chinese fans will say that Duncan is the No. 21 rookie. Now Yang Jian has an extra nickname called "Veteran No. 21", joking that in the eighth season of his career, he has surpassed all important honors.
people.
The only person who can be called a "veteran" under the age of thirty is Yang Jian.
President David Stern came to Chicago, watched two games and was responsible for awarding trophies. When he congratulated Yang Jian, he looked at him meaningfully and smiled a little awkwardly.
Stern really wanted to promote the number one player in NBA history during his tenure as president, but he never expected that he would be Chinese. To be precise, he did not promote Yang Jian. The Sonics were so strong that he could suppress him even if he wanted to.
No.
Stern couldn't understand why Yang Jian's team leadership ability was so strong. Obviously no team was willing to trade with the SuperSonics, and the SuperSonics had not introduced any big-name stars in their prime.
It is for this reason that Yang Jian's evaluation remains high. It is impossible for his teammates to steal his limelight, let alone for a star to dominate the SuperSonics.
The SuperSonics' 4th consecutive championship is a major event in the history of basketball, and sports media from many countries sent reporters to cover the event.
Yang Jian talked about his feelings at the press conference: "No super giant can win the championship on his own. I have the best teammates in NBA history, and they allow me to perform my best. This is
It has been a wonderful journey, and we will continue to go on it together.”
Reporters all feel that Yang Jian is a very well-organized person. He often says that he is a team player and praises his teammates. His teammates will not be ignored by the media because of him, they do not need to take the blame, and they can also gain a lot of exposure.
Yang Jia said: "I just try to play reasonably and like to attack the opponent's weaknesses. I assist a lot because my teammates can make the shot. If my teammates can't make the shot, I have to take more shots to break the double-team.
It becomes more difficult to score.”
Regarding his performance, Yang Jian didn't say much. The data he produced in the finals was just normal performance, and he had no special feelings.
A group of people flew back to Seattle overnight in a jubilant atmosphere. They never hold celebration parties in Chicago. The public security in Chicago is really not very good, so it is best not to go out at night.
It was daytime in China, and netizens started discussing it after watching the game. The topic was not limited to basketball, and many people were looking forward to Yang Jian's new movie. At the end of the season, he finally had time to make movies.
European and American netizens are also talking about Yang Jian. Some people feel sorry for him for achieving such results.
"If he hadn't been denied a championship by the trash Spurs in 1999, he would have won eight consecutive championships instead of four consecutive championships. He has every chance of tying the Celtics' historical record."
"I think next season as long as Yang Jian doesn't encounter any black calls, the SuperSonics are likely to win five consecutive championships. Both Lewis and Miller are under contract and will not leave, and the core lineup remains unchanged. The SuperSonics feel invincible."
"I bet Billups will be selected as an All-Star next season. This point guard is very promising, and there will be many easy shooting opportunities when playing next to Yang Jian."
After a day off, Yang Jian invited a group of friends to attend a celebration party.
Then came the championship parade, which, like previous years, ended at the home court of the NFL Seahawks.
Yang Jian held another concert, this time even the piano was ready, and he played the piano and sang a few love songs. He sang "yeah!" with Payton and Kemp, which brought the atmosphere to its climax.
Kemp played a role in the Finals, his popularity rebounded, and Seattle fans loved him.
In the interview, Kemp especially thanked Yang Jian, Payton and coach George Karl, saying that it was their help that gave him a new life here. Kemp's words were sincere and touched countless fans.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Kemp wanted to completely change his mind and said that he would never go to nightclubs or drink alcohol again in the future.
He is confident to do this, largely because he has no choice but to do so. He has very little money due to the alimony of his illegitimate child. The buyout contract between the Blazers and him is divided into several years, which is a big deal for him.
It's a good thing, he won't spend it carelessly when he doesn't have money.
He also bought himself an insurance policy according to Yang Jian's suggestion, which can only be claimed in the future. Now he can only live like an ordinary person. Knowing that there is no benefit to be gained from being around Kemp, his bad friends will also
Not much contact anymore.
In the summer, manager Wally Walker will definitely give priority to renewing Kemp's contract. He has performed well as a substitute in the team, which is better than poaching people in the free market.
