Chapter 106 [Halftime 30+, like a clown]

Sheldon Lowry commented: "Young put on the most terrifying scoring performance in the history of the SuperSonics today. Before the first quarter was finished, Young had already scored 22 points, 9 of 9 shots, and 1 frontcourt shot.

Rebound, 1 assist, 2 steals.”

Plummer Lott lamented: "Before the game, everyone thought that the two best-performing rookies would compete fiercely, but the result was a one-sided situation. Regardless of the data, record, or tactical role in the team, Yang is outstanding this season.

"

Sheldon said: "I don't know how the 76ers will adjust. If they want to defend Yang, they must double-team. The 76ers do not have a player with better physical fitness than Stackhouse on the outside. Changing the main defense will only make Yang better."

beat."

Plummer said: "I think Stackhouse will definitely be facing off against Young throughout the game, and no one can do the defensive work for him. This was what he expected before the game, but I don't know what to think now."

As the top two rookies in 1995, the two were drawn out by the media for comparison many times.

Stackhouse said that he was looking forward to playing against Yang Jian, and his performance was full of confidence. Yang Jian was interviewed after defeating the Grizzlies, and when he commented on Stackhouse, he said, "You will know it after playing."

Now everyone knows that Stackhouse is no opponent. This is the battle for Yang Jian to lock in the best rookie. Later, Raptors point guard Damon Stoudemire may catch up to the second place on the rookie list.

There is no threat to Yang Jian either.

Unless there is a major butterfly effect, such as the Magic management trading "Shark" O'Neal to the Raptors in the mid-term and replacing them with a bunch of garbage. Otherwise, the Raptors will not be much better than the 76ers, and their record will definitely be at the bottom of the league.

After the timeout, the 76ers made another substitution, with Tim Perry taking a break and Scott Williams coming on.

Scott, who is 208cm tall and weighs 104kg, is a well-known role player in the league. He entered the NBA in the 1990s non-draft, joined the Bulls and became an important rotation substitute in the team. Fortunately, he won three consecutive championships with the team and established a dynasty.

With three championship rings, Scott has gained a lot of attention and has done well since leaving the Bulls. Last season, he played 77 games for the 76ers, starting 43 games, averaging 6.4 points and 6.3 rebounds in 23.1 minutes per game.

Scott Williams has a heavy defensive task. Lucas feels that he and Jordan have been teammates for four years. During team training, he often double-teamed Jordan with his teammates, and he has rich experience in defending super scorers.

Scott is under a lot of pressure and knows that his experience is of little use. Yang Jian and Jordan are not the same type of scorers at all. Jordan mainly attacks with the ball, and the offensive distance is close to the penalty area. Yang Jian's offensive distance is farther, on the court

A shot can be taken from any position, and it is more difficult for inside players to help defend.

The game continued, and the 76ers players' defense against Yang Jian was effective. Stackhouse followed without the ball, and as soon as Yang Jian caught the ball, someone came up to double-team him.

Under such a defensive intensity, it is difficult for Yang Jian to get a shot, so he has to pass the ball quickly. Kemp and Perkins have better chances to make a shot.

Kemp's performance was also very eye-catching. He faced the frame and scored a layup. He made a foul on an air cut and made two free throws. Perkins got an open shot in the bottom corner and hit a three-pointer. Askew got an open shot.

Opportunity, he also made a three-pointer.

76ers small forward Richard Dumars performed at a superb level and scored 6 points in a row to help the team seal the score. Among them, he once grabbed an offensive rebound and drew a foul, and made two free throws.

After Perkins came on the court, the SuperSonics' defense in the penalty area became worse. Kemp was easily distracted after leading the score, and was not so active in protecting backcourt rebounds and wanted to go for a fast break.

Stackhouse also performed well. He broke into pick-and-rolls twice and drew fouls, making 3 of 4 free throws.

The SuperSonics had 4.3 seconds to complete their final attack. Yang Jian caught the ball at half court and missed the ball two meters from the three-point line. 39 to 29, the SuperSonics led by 10 points in the first quarter.

The SuperSonics had a lot of players, with only one injured Nate McMillan. George Karl had more options in his formation. In the second quarter, Perkins and Schrempf led the substitutes, and the other three were Kevin Edwards.

Z, Earvin Johnson, Eric Snow.

Edwards got another chance to play after two games off. The SuperSonics management agreed to trade him to leave the team. Before that, the team had to give him some playing time to help him improve his data and make him look more valuable in trade.

Not all players value the chance to win, some want to make money more. Edwards is unwilling to be a substitute, and his disregard for the team's interests has aroused resentment among his teammates. No one in the locker room is willing to talk to him.

Yang Jian didn't know where Edwards would go or who the team could replace, but he knew Edwards would regret it.

This guy is a glass man. He only played a short time in the SuperSonics to stay healthy. He may be useless soon if he goes to other teams. By then, he will have lost the only chance to win the championship in his career, and he may not be able to get the next high salary.

After the start of the second quarter, the two sides started a fierce iron fight, almost smashing the basket.

Perkins and Schrempf both became blacksmiths. Edwards scored 5 points and made a three-pointer.

On the 76ers' side, Jeff Malone and Maxwell were playing crazy. Only Bradley's performance was pretty good, and he scored 6 points in this quarter. He used his height advantage to get shooting opportunities, and he also grabbed two frontcourt shots.

rebound.

There is a price for improving data for players. The Sonics players cannot play a familiar offensive rhythm. After Edwards came on the court, there was no strategy to speak of, it was just that the players opened up singles.

George Karl was not in a hurry to send Yang Jian or Payton to the court this time, because the opponent did not catch up with the score. The fans at the scene were lethargic, and a game without stars scoring points is so boring.

Six minutes later, both sides had a tacit understanding and simultaneously sent out their first starters, and the scoring efficiency immediately improved.

Lucas's poor adaptability was undoubtedly evident. When Yang Jian returned to the court, he did not immediately replace Bradley. He felt that Bradley was playing well during this period and wanted him to play for a while.

, playing a role on both offense and defense.

When Yang Jian came on, he got a chance by running through the screen and hit a three-pointer from the right corner. In the next round, he held the ball outside the three-point line and played a pick-and-roll, scoring a mid-range shot.

When Lucas saw that it was not going to work, he hurriedly replaced the fast power forward and gave up the two-tower tactic. But Yang Jian had already gained confidence and dared to continue throwing. Seeing that his hands were hot, his teammates were willing to pass the ball to him.

he.

The 76ers' Maxwell, Stackhouse, and Richard Dumas can also score and continue to hold on to the score.

The whistle for the 76ers' home game today was a bit off. As soon as outside players broke through and made slight physical contact, the referee sent them to the free throw line. But even if the number of free throws was twice as many as the SuperSonics, the 76ers were still lagging behind. Yang Jianhe

Kemp's shooting percentage was very high and they couldn't guard him.

At halftime, the SuperSonics led 67 to 56 by 11 points.

Yang Jian made 13 of 16 shots in the half, 3 of 5 three-pointers, 4 of 5 free throws, and scored 33 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals.

Shelton commented on the game at halftime and said: "The biggest suspense today is not the outcome of the two teams, but how many points Yang Jian can score. He has already scored 33 points in the half. If the 76ers do not strengthen their defense against him, he will

I will definitely set a new career scoring high, and it is very possible to score 50 points."

Plummer said: "In the history of the SuperSonics, no player has ever scored 50 points in a single game. This time Young is likely to break the record. Young has a big heart, and all three of his high points were scored on the road.

The state will not be affected by the boos from the fans."

Of course Lucas doesn't want to see Yang Jian break the record at the 76ers' home court, but there is no one on the team suitable to defend Yang Jian. Stackhouse is the only one whose physical fitness is close to that of Yang Jian, and everyone else suffers in the confrontation.

In the second quarter, Maxwell Bu Xie Xie went up to guard for two rounds. Yang Jian pushed past him to break through and assisted Kemp to score. Yang Jian also relied on him to force a breakthrough during the counterattack and caused a foul.

The two seem to have similar body shapes, the same height and weight, but Yang Jian is stronger than Maxwell. He relies on explosive power and can often get rid of him in the first step.

Although Stackhouse also scored a lot of points, his mentality collapsed.

He was beaten so hard against Yang Jian that he felt like a clown when he said "I'm not afraid of Jordan" before.
