In April, the Sonics players continued to perform stably and looked like underdogs against everyone, losing only one game.
On the 7th, the SuperSonics lost to the Kings 105-111 in an away game.
The Kings have become the only Western Conference team to defeat the SuperSonics this season, which has a lot of luck. As the season comes to an end, the Kings' record ranks only eighth in the Western Conference, with a winning rate of less than half.
They traded inside player Nick Collison in the mid-term to strengthen their inside defense, and after joining Ron Artest, they strengthened their wing defense.
Collison, who is 208cm tall, has good mobility as a center and can grab rebounds. Mickey Moore serves as a substitute. Kenny Thomas and Raheem are short insiders who can grab rebounds. They are both good at guarding pick-and-rolls.
It can also open up mid- to long-range shots.
In this game, the Kings' Mike Bibby, Kevin Martin, and Artest were in excellent form on the outside, ensuring three-point firepower. In particular, Bibby made 6 of 12 from beyond the three-point line, which was more accurate than Yang.
Yang Jian's touch was terrible. In 43 minutes of play, he made 9 of 20 shots, 4 of 11 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, 27 points, 4 rebounds, 8 assists, and 5 turnovers.
When the Tigers also took a nap, Yang Jian's number of turnovers hit a personal high this season and he didn't score many points. None of the other SuperSonics stars were super scorers and their performance was mediocre. Only four players on the team scored in double figures.
Five players from the Kings scored in double figures. Collison scored 20 points and 11 rebounds. Bibby scored 21 points, 2 assists and 3 steals. Martin played 19 minutes and scored 17 points.
Martin, a tall and lanky shooting guard, has improved rapidly. Last season, he was a substitute who averaged 2.9 points per game. This season, he is an important member of the rotation, averaging 10.8 points per game. He shoots well. Coach Adelman usually lets Bunch Wells start.
Martin is the sixth man.
After a day off, the SuperSonics defeated the Suns 130-114 at home on the 9th, completing the regular season sweep.
The biggest highlight of this game for the Sonics was blue-collar center Kendrick Perkins. He played 24 minutes, made 9 of 11 shots, 5 of 8 free throws, and scored 23 points and 12 rebounds.
The Suns continued their small-ball tactics, while the SuperSonics deployed the twin towers. Brad Miller provided support from the outside to distribute the ball. After Yang Jian and Perkins played pick-and-rolls to attract inside defense, they repeatedly provided space to Parkin who was cutting through the air.
Si lobbed the ball to the basket.
Yang Jian scored 30 points, 4 rebounds and 16 assists, 11 of which were given to inside players. Miller occasionally made air cuts and caught jumpers in the middle, scoring 15 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists.
D'Antoni is also a mad scientist. In order to strengthen his offense, he will let Luol Deng, who is 206cm tall and weighs 102 kilograms, serve as the center. The cost of this approach is to sacrifice the defense of the penalty area. If the two fat men hit the penalty area, no one in the Suns can guard it.
In fact, even if Amare Stoudemire can play, the Suns' defense in the penalty area is not good enough. Stoudemire is a power forward and plays center, but his shoulders are too narrow and he suffers from blocking.
The Sonics' biggest opponents in the Western Conference are the Suns and Mavericks, both of which were swept. The newly joined players have shown confidence and feel that this year's championship is guaranteed.
The SuperSonics easily defeated the Trail Blazers, Rockets, and the Clippers twice. They had no suspense against these weak teams in the lottery. If they didn't defend seriously, they would just play.
On April 19, the SuperSonics played against the Nuggets at home, which was the last game of the regular season.
The Nuggets directly fielded a full substitute lineup, and Yang Jian also took a rest and did not play. He did not return to Seattle immediately after playing the Clippers in the last away game. Instead, he stayed in Los Angeles for a few days to accompany his girlfriend and son, and to promote the movie.
The trailer of "Fast and Furious 4: John Wick" has been released, with exciting action scenes and drag racing scenes. Rebecca Ferguson has close-ups of the fight, and she looks heroic.
After watching the trailer, many fans thought Rebecca would be a good heroine, and her image matches well with Yang Jian, but she is not famous. The vegetarian chicken series of movies does not require the heroine to be very famous. Yang Jian can attract countless people.
Movie fan.
Even though Yang Jian did not participate, the SuperSonics still won the game 115-98, with six players on the team scoring in double figures.
Brad Miller, Turkoglu, Billups, and Diaw can all organize passes. The Sonics' offense is very organized. Korver also played for 20 minutes and scored three three-pointers.
.
Although the Nuggets were on the bench, people also lamented that the overall strength of the SuperSonics was too strong. They moved the ball fast and well. Without Yang Jian, they were not as sharp on the counterattack, and their positional warfare was like Princeton tactics.
In the end, the Sonics achieved an incredible record of 78 wins and 4 losses, setting a new regular season record. This result stunned everyone. In 1998, 77 wins and 5 losses was already called an impossible record to break.
At that time, the SuperSonics had Charles Barkley, Schrempf, Anthony Mason Jr. and others, and the players were much more famous than the current SuperSonics.
The SuperSonics' super record is related to the overall weak strength of the Western Conference team. More importantly, Yang Jian's personal ability is too strong.
Yang Jian averaged 38.6 minutes per game, scoring 41.5 points, 6.1 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 2.7 steals. Even more terrifying is that his field goal percentage was as high as 55.4%, three-point shooting percentage was 47.8%, and free throw percentage was 93.3%.
He ranks 8th in the league in overall field goal percentage, first in the league in three-point field goal and free throw percentage, first in the league in true shooting percentage of 68.4%, and first in history in efficiency rating of 34.1.
Yang Jian's high-level statistics are all unsolvable, and his shooting percentage from long-range shots has reached the peak of his career. This season, the team's formation is spread out, and he has many easy shooting opportunities in pick-and-rolls. He has reduced dunks and increased jump shots.
, and tortured those tough guys who basically concentrated their shots at the basket to the point of ecstasy.
He won the 10th career scoring title and the 10th steal title, all of which are milestone data. For the second time, 400 three-pointers in a single season were not judged as milestones, averaging 5.2 per game.
With such data and record, there is no suspense for Yang Jian to win the MVP again.
Kobe Bryant contributed one point, but failed to win the scoring title for the first time in his career, even though he averaged 35.1 points per game. Gerald Wallace also contributed one point, missing the only steal title in his career.
The assist leader is Steve Nash of the Suns, averaging 10.5 assists per game. Yang Jian is not very obsessed with assist statistics, otherwise he can easily surpass Nash.
The rebounding leader is Dwight Howard of the Lakers, averaging 12.8 per game. His playing time increased significantly in the second half of the regular season, and he grabbed rebounds wildly.
The Lakers still want to train Howard, but they want to train him in a blue-collar direction, letting him focus on rebounding and defense. His personal ability is obviously better than that of white center Chris Mihm, and his physical fitness is also better.
Baby Shark Andrew Bynum.
The leader in blocks is Marcus Camby of the Nuggets, averaging 3.3 per game.
Yang Jian led the team to achieve the best record in the history of the regular season. The milestone reward is very special, it is a black technology prop - "Memory Queryer".
The props are associated with the system and have no entity. Yang Jian can use this to query his own memory, and only he can use it.
It feels very strange when he uses it, as if he is using his own eyes from the past as a perspective to view the memories that have happened before. As long as he has something he wants to recall, he can use this to directly enter the memory.
And because he has entered the subconscious, the flow of time is different from the outside world, and the time is more than 10 times more abundant. He can completely use this black technology for entertainment, which is very convenient.
For example, when he wanted to watch a certain movie in his previous life, he had been to the theater himself. Using black technology, he could enter the theater's perspective and the environment at that time, and relive the blockbuster movie. One of his hobbies in his previous life was to go to the theater to watch DMAX science fiction movies.
With this black technology, he can recall everything he wants to know. It is more effective than relying on the mental power of an expert to recall, and he can remember the details clearly. Unless he has never been exposed to things before and has no idea at all, he can check them out.
.
This is actually a superpower. It will become easier for Yang Jian to write songs and scripts.
The reward for the 10th scoring champion is a time loop card, a total of 4 cards.
The reward for the 10th Stealing King is high-grade elixir, and I have saved 8 pills in total. The more the merrier, you will definitely be able to use it in the future.
