Chapter 916 [Shock record, 78 points in three quarters]
Raptors coach Sam Mitchell replaced Calderon, Villanueva, and Bonner and replaced them with Jaylen Rose, Biedrins, and Marvin Williams.
The SuperSonics also made substitutions. Turkoglu, Billups, and Brad Miller came on, replacing Korver, Blake, and Diaw. In order to help Yang Jian better cover in the position battle, George
Karl arranged the two-tower strategy.
The Raptors' substitutions are timed substitutions, while the SuperSonics' substitutions have a very clear purpose, to better create opportunities for Yang Jian and help him score.
The Raptors attacked, and Jaylen Rose, who had just come on, hit Turkoglu in a single and made a pull-up jumper. 55 to 57.
In the SuperSonics position battle, Billups dribbled the ball across half court and passed it to Miller who was outside the three-point line. He and Turkoglu pulled away on the left side.
Yang Jian runs from the left corner to the right corner under the cover of Perkins. There are only two of him and Perkins here. If the opponent double-teams, they have to leave Perkins open. Miller will take down Marvin.
Williams was pulled out, and Williams was not good at covering up the basket. The Raptors had many defensive holes on the court.
Yang Jian made comfortable movements with the ball frame, dribbling continuously with his hips, and stepped back with his left foot to attract Peterson's center of gravity forward.
He didn't combine the ball with his left hand. He retreated with the ball in his left hand and did a fake move before quickly changing direction to the right and passing Peterson. He made a two-point emergency stop jumper from the baseline. Biedrins, who had just come on the court, connected with Parkin under the basket.
Ska did not cover up the defense and the ball went hollow into the net. 57 to 57.
Marvin in the middle was far away and had no intention of double-teaming Yang Jian. The Raptors players watched Peterson being brutally beaten in a tacit understanding. Peterson was now cursing MMP in his heart and could only face Yang Jian bravely.
When the Raptors attacked, Yang Jian made Peterson feel very comfortable. He put him two meters away to grab the rebound, but he stopped guarding.
Peterson's main means of scoring was jump shots, and he hit .57 to 60 from an open shot in the right corner.
During the SuperSonics attack, Yang Jian ran 70 degrees from the right corner and got the ball comfortably again. This time Peterson was blocked by Perkins and was too slow to get around.
Miller passed the ball to Yang Jian. Marvin Williams was watching in the middle and had no intention of covering up. Biedrins was also standing near the penalty area and did not rush out to cover.
Yang Jian's shot was as easy as training, and he also habitually added a small fade. The arc of the shot was perfect, and the ball hit the net hollowly! 60 to 60.
Zhang Liyi shouted: "Yang Jian made his seventh three-pointer of the game and made 5 of 5 three-pointers in the second quarter. The Raptors players really dared to let him shoot, but they didn't double-team."
Yu Jia laughed and said: "He has already scored 49 points. The first half is not over yet, and he scored 29 points in a single quarter."
When the Raptors attacked, except for Billups, the other four SuperSonics players huddled near the penalty area to defend, blocking the penalty area. With three people over 205cm tall guarding the penalty area, it was difficult for the Raptors players to hit the basket.
After passing the ball several times, Peterson tried another three-pointer, but this time it missed.
Both Biedrins and Marvin were grabbing offensive rebounds near the penalty area, but failed to grab the ball and quickly returned to defense. Miller dialed the ball out, and Turkoglu picked up the basketball and passed it to Yang Jian.
Yang Jian immediately started to break through from the right at full speed, brought him inside the three-point line and faced Peterson with a European step. Peterson saw that he had no idea what to do with this move, because it was too fast.
Yang Jian took a small step to the left and a big step to the right. Just as he was about to break through, Peterson made a foul. Yang Jian missed the basket with an underhand shot from a long distance, and the referee blew the whistle and made two free throws.
He made two solid free throws again, 62-60, his 51st point.
The Kirby-like Raptors coach Mitchell finally got a little anxious and shouted "Double-team!" from the sidelines. If he hadn't stood up and yelled twice, the audience watching the live broadcast would have thought he fell asleep.
Yang Jian hadn't encountered this kind of defensive treatment for a long time, and it was so satisfying.
Peterson was about to collapse and believed that Yang Jian was the most terrifying scorer in the history of basketball and a cold-blooded assassin.
If Peterson had scored so many points, he would have been so excited that he started trash-talking the defender. But Yang Jian didn't do that. He remained silent, as if everything was taken for granted.
The Raptors players finally started to double-team Yang Jian. From then on, whether in positional battles or counterattacks, they would double-team nearby, preferring to let others score easily.
Yang Jian still has a way to score, mainly by shooting three-pointers before the opponent's double-team comes up during the counterattack. Double-teaming takes time. He rushed to the front and only had to face one person's attack in one or two seconds.
Defense.
In the second half of the second quarter, Yang Jian missed three shots, but also made two three-pointers.
He made 7 of 9 three-pointers in a single quarter, scored 37 points in addition to other scoring methods, and also grabbed two rebounds and sent out an assist. Jaylen Rose went towards Yang Jian, and Turkoglu got a wide open space.
, easily hit a three-pointer on the right side.
The SuperSonics led by 5 points at halftime, 75-70, and scored 44 points in a single quarter. The scoring was almost handled by Yang Jian.
Yang Jian scored 57 points in just halftime, causing a stir on the Internet. 37 points was the highest score in the history of a single quarter. The system determined it to be a milestone data, and he received an intermediate elixir of youth.
In the second half, the Sonics continued to attack with Yang Jian as the core, and his teammates all opened up to create opportunities for him.
The Raptors' positional battle was effective in double-teaming Yang Jian, and they were unable to prevent a quick counterattack. Yang Jian broke through very resolutely in this quarter, committing 4 fouls during the counterattack and going to the free throw line. He also made 3 three-pointers.
He scored another 21 points in a single quarter, and scored a total of 78 points in the three quarters.
The Raptors' Peterson was in foul trouble with four fouls and was replaced. Jaylen Rose's defense was not as good as Peterson. Rose played two finals with Yang Jian when he was with the Pacers and was already abused in 2000.
There is a psychological shadow, single defense is always passed.
Rose's condition has declined significantly this season, and his physical fitness is not as good as before. He is three years older than Yang Jian and entered the league after graduating from college in 1994. This is the 12th season of his career.
Yang Jian is at his peak, and Rose can't keep up. If he doesn't want to see Yang Jian break through and score easily, he can only foul someone.
Although the game was played at the home court of the Raptors, the referee's whistle today was biased in favor of Yang Jian. Recently, there was an incident of biased whistle blowing. Many fans on the Internet were dissatisfied. The referee did not dare to let the Raptors players attack Yang Jian casually.
Already.
Nick Schabek, who whistled the Cavaliers game, has lost his job. Today's referee is worried that if his whistle favors the Raptors and prevents Yang Jian from setting a record high score, the fans will also be dissatisfied.
So the referee doesn't mind giving Yang Jian more free throw opportunities. It's impossible for anyone to complain about the Raptors after the game. What kind of team are the Raptors? The management's cunning maneuvers let go of many stars in the team and forced away the leading star.
Vince Carter. Only people with masochistic tendencies can become die-hard Raptors fans.
Another key figure in Yang Jian's high scores in the quarter is Marvin Williams. His defensive awareness is very poor. He often follows the small forwards and does not double-team Yang Jian, even if the opponent is a Jay who is not good at shooting.
Ladd-Wallace.
On the offensive end, Marvin's performance was also very poor. He played for more than 7 minutes in this quarter and made 0 of 3 shots without scoring a single point. The coaching staff wanted to train Marvin, but this person was very unsatisfactory. There is currently no sign of any improvement.
potential.
Marvin Williams, who is 206cm tall and weighs 108kg, led the University of North Carolina to the 2005 NCAA championship with Raymond Felton, Sean May and Rashad McCants.
He was inexplicably favored during the draft, but in fact he only averaged 11.3 points and 6.6 rebounds per game. He couldn't put up good numbers in college and was considered a role player.
Marvin is neither good at offense nor defense, and his ability to control rebounds is still weak. It is a joke that the Raptors management wants to train him to be the core. He doesn't even know what he is good at.
The SuperSonics lead 109 to 100 by 9 points entering the final quarter. The outcome of the game seems to be in suspense. Yang Jian will continue to play.
At this time, fans all over the world have focused on this game. Yang Jian may not only set a new personal single-game scoring record, but may also break Chamberlain's historical record of 100 points in a single game.
Scoring 22 points in a single quarter is difficult for other players, but for Yang Jian today, it is not a very high score.
