Unfortunately, the reward for this milestone was not the dream-fulfilling card that Yang Jian wanted most, but an increase in personal space of one cubic meter. He could use this reward, a total of 10 cubic meters.
At the post-match press conference, reporters asked Yang Jian to talk about his thoughts on breaking the record.
Yang Jian said: "I don't have any special feelings. The youngest player with 20,000 points is insignificant compared with the championship. I want to become the player with the most championships in history. For this reason, I am willing to reduce the number of shots."
Everyone knows that what he said in his Versailles speech was true and not hypocritical.
Except for the shortened season, Yang Jian's average number of shots per game in each season is not very high. It is enough to win the scoring champion and does not pursue high points per game. If he tries his best, he will rank first in the league in the number of shots per game every season.
, he has already broken the record.
In the future, the youngest player in the NBA to reach 10,000 assists will definitely be Yang Jian. There is no suspense. This is under the premise that he did not have many assists in his rookie season. At that time, he mainly played without the ball and helped Payton get the only assist in his career.
The assist king.
The reporter asked: "Will you take more shots this season?"
"Looking at the opponent's situation, I will do what I can do to make it easier for the team to win. I will not set a data target for myself before the start of a certain game, as that will affect my performance."
What Yang Jian said is true. Players who play like this will develop bad habits. The most typical example is "Turtle" Westbrook, who is addicted to playing triple-doubles. Later, he almost couldn't play normally anymore.
When assisting 9 times in the final quarter, the empty basket was not passed to the teammate who was being defended.
Milestones also depend on what kind they are. For example, a milestone of 60 in a single game never gets any good rewards. Yang Jian's goal is to win the scoring title, assist title, and championship. The single-game data depends on the status to decide whether to take more shots.
Yang Jian himself didn't care, but this milestone record was not simple. After the game, all major media reported this. He is only 27 years old this year.
The two most famous scorers in NBA history were both left behind by Yang Jian. Jordan was 29 years and 326 days old when he reached 20,000 points, and Chamberlain was 29 years and 134 days old. Yang Jian improved the record by more than two years.
If he hadn't encountered a shortened season and didn't care, he would have broken the record last season when he was less than 27 years old. People think that this record will not be broken by anyone in the future, which is too exaggerated.
The late Chamberlain provided a point to Yang Jian, and LeBron James also provided a point to Yang Jian. In the parallel world, James is the youngest Mr. 20,000 points. Coincidentally, both he and Chamberlain are called "
emperor".
Now, James has just entered the league, and all the "youngest" records that should have belonged to him are gone. Unless, like Yang Jian, he averages 30 consecutive games after his rookie season.
James obviously can't do it. His scoring method is not like Yang Jian's. He mainly breaks through and hits two points, and does not have many explosive scoring performances. However, his career is very stable, with almost no ups and downs. After entering the league, except for
Outside of his rookie season, he stayed at 25 all the time, and had 30 twice.
Yang Jian often has explosive performances. If it weren't for assists and winning a bunch of assist titles, his scoring data would be even more explosive.
Before the start of the new season, the media fired James hard, and now it's a bit embarrassing. The Cavaliers' opening record was disastrous, with 1 win and 9 losses, last in the league.
This happened because the Cavaliers were missing their "third leader", power forward Carlos Boozer. Boozer is the Cavaliers' top rebounder and second scorer. Even if the defense is poor, it is very important.
The team's "big boss" Ricky Davis was unwilling to cooperate with James and just wanted him to carry his shoes.
Davis, who has an annual salary of 4.55 million and no sneaker endorsement, asked James, who signed a sneaker endorsement contract worth over 100 million without playing a game, to carry shoes for him. Is this more than domineering? He is simply domineering!
Recently, no media has mentioned James leading the team to challenge Yang Jian. He should wait a few years before challenging. President David Stern doesn't even want to watch James and Yang Jian compete, fearing that the "chosen son" will be beaten.
to self-isolation.
On November 18th, the SuperSonics faced the Heat at home, which was also the highlight of the national live broadcast.
The SuperSonics won 118-105, avoiding a three-game losing streak.
Yang Jian made 13 of 23 shots, 4 of 9 three-pointers, 10 of 10 free throws, and scored 40 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals. As he said in an interview, when the team needs him to score, he will never do it.
Will be soft-hearted.
Moreover, Yang Jian guarded against No. 4 rookie Dwyane Wade, who performed well after the start of the game. Wade made 5 of 17 shots, 0 of 2 three-pointers, and 3 of 4 free throws. He only scored 13 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steals.
4 mistakes.
The template given to Wade in the draft report was Steve Francis. No one said that he was a 193cm Jordan, and they looked down upon Wade. The reason for all this was Wade's injury. Wade had surgery during college.
Except for half of the meniscus, it is equivalent to "giving up a knee" to enter the NBA.
In the matchup with Yang Jian, Wade's weaknesses were completely exposed. His breakthrough tricks were useless against Yang Jian, because they were all skills that Yang Jian was good at. His physical fitness was slightly inferior, which was equivalent to playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong.
.
At the same time, in order to restrict the great shark O'Neal, the SuperSonics had three people huddled near the penalty area to defend, blocking the penalty area. O'Neal can be released when he pulls out to cover, but he has no shooting range, and it is difficult for Wade to break through after the pick-and-roll.
There were people around the penalty area, so Wade was forced to take mid- to long-range jump shots, and his shooting percentage was impressive.
It was also difficult for point guard Sam Cassel to face Billups. Both were heavy point guards, and Billups could withstand Cassel's back attack and interfere with turnaround mid-range shots.
Karl Malone did have a physical advantage when he singled out Lewis, but with O'Neal around, Malone couldn't often play in the low post. The team needed him to open up space and create opportunities for his teammates. Therefore, Malone could only use inefficient mid-range shots to end the offense.
Among the Heat's starters, there is no stable three-point shooting spot. Small forward Caron Butler worked hard on three-pointers in the summer and only averaged 0.8 three-pointers per game, shooting 33.2%.
Backup guard Mike James likes to shoot three-pointers. He has the body of a point guard, the heart of a shooting guard, and an awkward style of play.
The Heat's lineup only looked strong, but not reasonable enough. The game mainly relied on O'Neal's strong inside attack and Wade's breakthrough. Once Wade's breakthrough was blocked, it was difficult for the Heat to win, starting with 7 wins and 4 losses.
It's obviously not very reliable to pin the team's success or failure on a rookie.
The SuperSonics started another winning streak, defeating the Wizards, Nets, Grizzlies, Jazz, Rockets and other teams. Except for the Nets, all they encountered during this schedule were weak teams.
The Wizards, Jazz, and Grizzlies have all begun to rebuild, but the Rockets have failed to rebuild.
The Rockets looked like they were about to rise in the summer, and the media said they were going to start a "youth storm." However, before training camp even started in early October, the point guard Jay Williams, who was being cultivated as the core, died.
Once people are satisfied with their ambitions, they often get carried away, especially black people.
At night, Jay was driving his heavy-duty motorcycle at high speed on the Houston highway. The motorcycle suddenly lost control and hit a telephone pole on the side of the road. Jay was violently thrown out, rupturing the ligaments of his left knee and rupturing his left leg.
Three nerves were seriously injured and faced amputation or even life-threatening injuries.
Although he was rushed to the hospital in time by his friends and rescued, it was impossible to continue playing basketball.
He loved the feeling of speed so much that he crashed into a telegraph pole at a speed of 75 miles per hour. His survival was a testament to his strong physical fitness.
Life is like a highway, and those who love speed racing never know what they will hit. Jay avoided the telegraph poles in Chicago, and there are those in Houston waiting for him.
This is good news for Wang Zhizhi. The Rockets renewed his contract with a mid-level contract. He can also score in double figures this season. Without Jay, others will have more ball rights, but they will not be able to play well.
Achievements.
After the game in November, people discovered that the SuperSonics, which had lost only two games, had the best record in the league, followed closely by the Bulls, who had lost three games.
Yao Ming and Yang Jian were elected Player of the Month in the East and West respectively. The Chinese dominate the NBA.
