After ending their road trip in the Eastern Conference, the SuperSonics returned home to face the Magic on the 11th, winning 138-104.
The Magic sent Baron Davis and DeShawn Stevenson to partner on the outside, but neither of them could guard against Yang Jian. The Magic's substitute No. 2 was even worse, short guard David Way.
Sli, it's almost time to retire after this season.
Rashard Lewis is thriving in the Magic. He swings between the 3 and 4 positions, averaging 39 minutes per game, with 22.4 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.2 assists, a career high.
The Magic's star small forward Grant Hill was injured again, which is really unlucky. Moreover, his condition has seriously declined. He has been seriously injured too many times and his explosiveness has disappeared. Hill cannot shoot three-pointers. It is difficult to transform into a 3D player, and his style of play is extremely embarrassing.
.
Yang Jian made 12 of 16 shots, 4 of 5 three-pointers, and 10 of 10 free throws. He effortlessly scored 38 points, 5 rebounds, and 6 assists. The final quarter entered garbage time.
Turkoglu made 9 of 16 shots, 4 of 4 three-pointers, 1 of 2 free throws, and scored 23 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists.
Six members of the SuperSonics team scored in double figures, while the others' statistics were average.
The SuperSonics sent away two All-Stars, and as a result, Turkoglu became a star again this season. President David Stern was completely relieved when he saw this, knowing that it would be impossible to suppress the momentum of the SuperSonics this season.
possible.
There are no stars worthy of admiration in the Western Conference. Except for Kobe and Garnett, the strongest players are all foreign stars.
On January 13, the SuperSonics finally lost after 30 consecutive victories, losing to the Heat 114-117 at home.
Yang Jian made 10 of 21 shots, 4 of 10 three-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, and scored 30 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists, and 3 steals. His touch was average and he also beat Dwyane Wade, but 6 members of the Heat team scored
Double figures.
The Heat strengthened their perimeter lineup, sent away Caron Butler, and traded for point guard Luke Ridnour and small forward James Posey.
The physical fitness and personal abilities of these two people are not as good as Butler's, but they are more suitable for the Heat because they can shoot three-pointers. The Heat also laid off head coach Stan Van Gundy and Pat Riley became the head coach himself.
.
The Heat management has no patience to wait for Butler to improve, and he does not have many opportunities to attack with the ball. His explosive dunks can attract fans, but they cannot help the team win.
Posey, who is 203cm tall and weighs 98kg, struggled in the past. His statistics are average and he has only played in the playoffs once in his career. But he can shoot three-pointers and his defensive ability is also good.
In this game, Posey helped Wade defend and double-team, which lowered Yang Jian's shooting percentage.
Butler joining the Grizzlies is not necessarily a bad thing. He has a lot of ball rights to prove his scoring ability. If he stays with the Heat, he will always be just a role player.
This was only the Sonics' second defeat, and it was inconsequential.
The next day, the SuperSonics defeated the Clippers in back-to-back away games and refused to lose in a row. Steve Francis' condition has declined significantly this season and he cannot make a breakthrough.
Francis' style of play is very damaging to his knees. If he hadn't acquired the talent of a body of steel, Yang Jian wouldn't be able to change direction as quickly as he is now. Francis has played fast breaks for several years, and his knees have been worn out.
Very powerful.
Francis never thought about transforming and would only use one way of playing. He didn't like to practice jump shots, and his shooting percentage was never good. Like many black players, when he realized that he couldn't keep rushing forward, he couldn't practice jump shots anymore.
It's too late.
This game is not important. What is important is that in the early morning, Britney gave birth to a son for Yang Jian. It happened that he gave birth when he came to play the game, and he went to the hospital after leaving the arena.
This incident immediately made entertainment news in various countries, and many people thought that this child was another basketball talent.
Yang Jian has never been married, and she doesn't seem to be planning to marry anyone, but she has two children.
Many paparazzi followed him to the hospital, hoping to take photos of his children and sell them for a lot of money. Unfortunately, the hospital was heavily guarded by bodyguards, and the paparazzi could not enter the high-end ward.
Britney has already decided on the child's name, which is called Bruce. The name sounds like a superhero and has a super high IQ.
Yang Jian's objections were ineffective, and now the girlfriends want to create a group of superheroes. Jennifer is the most in favor, thinking that the two children will influence each other and become great.
Yang Jian only thought that the two children would fight when they grow up, and then shake hands and make peace because of their mother's name. After that, they would spend the whole day chatting in the coffee shop and complaining about the new movie like crazy.
But thinking about it from another perspective, Yang Jian also found it quite refreshing. It was quite fun that a group of superheroes were his sons.
After spending a day in Los Angeles, Yang Jian went to Oakland to participate in the game against the Warriors on the 16th, narrowly losing 113 to 109.
The child's incident affected Yang Jian's state. Fortunately, the rest of the Sonics were not vegetarians, and six people on the team scored in double figures.
The Warriors didn't know who to guard. Only Gerald Wallace failed to score in double figures among the Sonics' starting five. David Lee and Diaw also performed well as substitutes.
Especially Diaw, who played 28 minutes and had a triple-double of 15 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists.
After joining the SuperSonics, Diaw suddenly became enlightened and his style of play was flexible and changeable. Diaw was originally very agile in playing, but his performance in the Hawks was not good. People believe that he developed chemistry with Yang Jian when he arrived in the SuperSonics.
reaction.
After the game, Yang Jian stayed in Los Angeles for three days and then returned to Seattle alone.
He had gatherings at home every day, and all his girlfriends who were free came over. They didn't meet through synaesthesia. The only one who didn't come was Gao Yuanyuan, who went back to China to spend the New Year with his parents.
The coaching staff has no objection to his absence from the team's training. On the 20th, the SuperSonics' home opponent is the Raptors, and there is no suspense about the outcome.
The Raptors players are now reluctant to play against Yang Jian because they are so irritated. Online fans are also discussing how many points Yang Jian can score this time.
This time, Yang Jian did not put up super statistics, but passed more passes to help his teammates. The Raptors were already miserable enough. He couldn't play with a team even if he wanted to improve statistics.
The popularity of that game has not subsided yet. The new Ares series sneakers prepared by Nike and their advertising slogans are directly related to that game.
Yang Jian knew that rabbits would bite when they were in a hurry. If he continued to score with all his strength, the Raptors players would give him a hard blow if they risked their lives. He had confidence in his body of steel, but he did not want to compete with non-star players like the Raptors.
Fight to death.
Yang Jian scored 31 points, 6 rebounds and 12 assists, and his performance was quite satisfactory. Everyone else in the SuperSonics had a high shooting percentage, and six people scored in double figures. They won 133 to 113 by 20 points.
Yang Jian let the Raptors go, but the others were not going to let them go.
On the 22nd, when the Lakers played against the Raptors at home, Kobe broke out.
Kobe's hand was convulsed, preparing for a Yang Jian-style performance. At the end of the game, the Raptors players became anxious. Not only did they double-team tightly to prevent Kobe from easily getting the ball, they also fouled him hard when he broke through.
The two sides almost led to a fierce conflict. After a pulling foul, Jaylen Rose and Kobe almost came to blows.
Many players gathered around, and the Lakers' cameraman captured a very disharmonious scene. After Kobe Bryant was pulled down from the air by Rose, Dwight Howard not only refused to help, but also laughed evilly from the sidelines.
.
Howard: You knocked Kobe down? Fate, thank you.
Ross: That's too much.
With the relationship between the two of them, the Lakers must send someone away after this season, otherwise there will be internal strife again.
In the end, the Lakers won 121-105. Kobe scored a career-high 70 points, but failed to reach the 81 points in the parallel world.
70 points is a lot, and the Raptors have firmly established themselves as the worst defensive team in the league. These players have become super backgrounds twice in a season, and the management has been ridiculed by the media and fans.
Kobe changed history, and Yang Jian got a point. Because of Yang Jian, the Raptors, a bunch of losers, worked harder to defend Kobe, and successfully limited Kobe to less than 80 points without Bosh.
Kobe's evaluation is far inferior to that of the parallel world. Many people think that he just brushes up statistics and wants to compete with Yang Jian regardless of the outcome. The SuperSonics' record is first in the league, and the Lakers are only seventh in the Western Conference...
