The two sides fought back and forth for several rounds. When the game lasted for 5 and a half minutes, Sulla had already lost.

With the SuperSonics leading 16-6, the Cavaliers coach took the lead in requesting a timeout.

"What did you do? Why do you have to compete with Yang Jian? Can't you play pick-and-roll? Can't you go around him?" Coach Eddie didn't want to criticize Sura, but he couldn't help it.

It's not wrong to play in singles, it's wrong to not score. Sura is the core of the team, how can he drive the whole team with his hot head?

When an assistant coach leads a team to participate in the summer league, achieving good results will be a qualification for becoming a head coach in the future. If the team is beaten every game and has no tactics, it is obvious that the coach leading the team is incompetent.

Su La was speechless. He was the one who provoked Yang Jian first and said harsh words. How could he not compete? The result was a bit miserable. He made 0 of 5 shots and didn't score a single point. He had only one behind.

Court rebounds.

Yang Jian made 4 of 6 shots and scored 8 points, which made Sura lose all confidence. Yang Jian's style of play was simple and effective, but Sura struggled to defend.

Sura's offensive style was completely defeated by Yang Jian, and he was ineffective no matter how he played. His jump shot shooting rate was unstable, and he lost his accuracy after being interfered by the eye seal. He relied on his body to break through, and his quality was at a disadvantage in all aspects, so there was not much he could do.

How could this bastard be so fast and strong?

Is he really Chinese? Don’t they say that yellow people have poor physical fitness? This guy is simply a monster!

Su La depressedly thought about how to deal with Yang Jian, racking his brains but couldn't think of any. He had never seen such a fierce person, let alone had any experience against such a person.

Yang Jian is a "193cm Jordan". What's even more terrifying is that although Yang Jian is rated as a blacksmith by the system, his shooting ability is much better than Wade who just entered the league. His jumping ability is also much better than Wade's, regardless of his dribbling skills.

Just looking at his body, he is an enhanced version of Wade.

Yang Jian was very satisfied with his performance. He made two mid-range shots and scored three goals. The effect of his "iron-blooded jump shot" was remarkable.

The shooting rate of 3 of 5 reached 60%. The player's mid-range shooting tactics have a huge impact. If he averaged such a high shooting rate per game this season, the media would have touted him as the "King of Mid-range Shooting".

.

In this era, players are highly regarded for their mid-range shooting accuracy. Future mid-range shooting king Alan Houston did not hit 50%. Another mid-range shooting king, Hamilton, shot less than 45% in most seasons.

He is planning to focus on mid-range shooting in the summer league. He will scream when he scores a goal and see what his average field goal percentage is. If it is 50%, it will be great. The defense he faces in the regular season may not be tighter than in the summer league.

At that time, his teammates were three All-Star players from the SuperSonics.

If the opponent needs to double-team a star and relax their defense on a certain player, he is almost likely to be that person.

"Well done, Yang. You can continue to play like this in a while. Run more to catch and shoot. Don't break through and make strong shots with the ball. If you attract help, pass the ball immediately." Weis knew that Yang Jian's dribbling skills were not good.

Playing without the ball is more threatening, and it will be difficult to speed up if you hold the ball.

People who are good at "man-ball combination" may not necessarily be fast, but they can dribble smoothly, and they can make defenders lose their direction with their skillful sense of the ball. Yang Jian is fast, but his dribbling is not smooth enough.

Weis doesn't plan to let Yang practice his dribbling skills for the time being. He believes that his off-ball style is very threatening and is the talent that the Sonics lack the most.

He can already predict how explosive the Sonics' offense will be in the new season. The position battle formation is completely stretched, and the team can even arrange tactical attacks around Yang Jian. Ordinary players will definitely not be able to keep up with his speed. It is too wasteful to only be a fixed-point shooter.

.

After the timeout, the Cavaliers did not replace Sura, and the SuperSonics did not replace Yang Jian. Seeing Yang Jian return to the court, Sura was immediately under great pressure, knowing that it would still be difficult for him to score.

Weiss warned Yang Jian. "The main thing is to prevent Sura from breaking through. I don't blame you if he makes a mid-to-long jumper. If you cut off the connection between him and his teammates, he will be nothing special."

Yang Jian stood on the court, looking at Sura and thinking about the future. He had to practice his dribbling skills. If he couldn't hold the ball and play hard, he wouldn't be able to become the core of the team.

Although Sura is terrible, he still has the ball. If Yang Jian is on the Cavaliers and Sura doesn't pass the ball, it will be useless no matter how fast he runs without the ball or how accurate his shooting is.

For players who play without the ball, the prerequisite for their performance is that the core of the team is willing to cooperate. Their destiny is not in their own hands. If their teammates are independent, it is over. It is rare to average 20 points per game. But those who have the ball can rely on the number of shots.

Luxurious data, data is always guaranteed.

Attacking with the ball is the core style of play. Players who can break through and distribute the ball to drive teammates are better than players who catch the ball and have a high assist rate. Inside players have a high assist rate and can increase their value through defense, inside support and other work.

If outside players play without the ball, it will be difficult for them to get big contracts.

There is a player who averages 20 shots per game and only scores over 20 points per game including free throws. However, a large group of fans say that his offense is unsolvable. This is because not all fans will check detailed data such as shooting percentage and number of shots. The media will hype it up and not watch the game.

The fans will really think that this person is a superstar.

If Yang Jian does not attack with the ball and has unlimited shooting rights, 80% of the glory when the SuperSonics win the championship will go to Payton. In the first season, he can mainly play without the ball, but within three years he must become the first core of the team. This

is his long-term goal.

If other people knew about Yang Jian's ambition, they would definitely think him crazy. The undrafted rookie just signed a one-year contract and he is thinking about replacing Payton in the future. Is it wrong?

But Yang Jian is such an ambitious person. If he can't even think about it, when will he become the boss?

It's not easy for a newcomer to get the upper hand. Kobe wore jersey No. 8 and served as the second-in-command of the Lakers for 8 years. It wasn't until O'Neal went to the Heat that he became the boss, and he couldn't compete with others.

In comparison, it would be too easy for Young to briefly replace Payton, who is known for his defense, as the boss.

The Cavaliers attacked, and Sura broke through with the ball and was caught by Yang Jian. He did not make a strong shot this time, but passed it to his teammates on the outside. His teammates lobbed the ball inside, and Amic played a low post singles as a substitute for Steve Scheffler.

The physical confrontation between the two was very fierce. Amici, who had not yet publicly "come out", had a strange expression, a bit shy in his toughness. Fortunately, Scheffler was not a handsome guy, otherwise he would have had to defend Amici's "standing stick" singles.

.

Amici only had a slight weight advantage and was unable to squeeze into the basket. He stepped on the penalty area line with his left foot and turned and missed a jump shot. Yang Jian entered the basket and jumped high to grab the backcourt rebound.

Yang Jian didn't deliberately grab rebounds, thinking that was the job of the big man inside. But Sura was very active in trying to grab rebounds, so he followed up with the basket. Yang Jian was still better in the blocking position.

Instead, Sura helped him improve his rebounding data.

When the SuperSonics attacked, Yang Jian moved again and failed to catch the ball. The Cavaliers strengthened their defense against him, and Amici came out to help defend, allowing others to shoot.

Yang Jian took advantage of the situation and passed the ball to Scheffler, who had just pulled out the screen. The latter was out of range and took the ball to the basket, but was blocked by the Cavaliers' power forward. Scheffler had poor passing awareness and could not find it.

An open teammate chooses to force his shot and misses.

Yang Jian also encountered this situation in the last game and has experience in handling the ball. Regardless of whether his teammates scored or not, he did his job well. If he did not pass the ball to his teammates who were in a better position, he would force the shot himself.

It's a vicious style of play. If he plays reasonably, he has to stay on the outside and wait for the next opportunity.

Yang Jian feels that it is a bit torture to play with teammates who have no shooting range. Some tasks can only be done by him. In order to prevent his running position, catch and jump shots, the Cavaliers' interior players must rotate and change positions, which greatly increases the difficulty of defense.

The SuperSonics had a clear advantage in the first quarter, leading 30 to 16.

The Cavaliers didn't have a stable outside shooting spot, and their offense could only be described as ugly. Players on the court took turns playing singles.

The overall strength of the Cavaliers is not as good as that of the Timberwolves. The Timberwolves at least have Garnett who is good at mid-range shooting and support, and can be pulled out to serve as a pivot. The best shooter in the Cavaliers is Sura, followed by point guard Daryl, and the others are all blue-collar workers.

.

Yang Jian appeared again in the second quarter. One minute later, he cut away from the defense on a baseline cut, caught the ball and scored with a tomahawk dunk. He won the applause of the audience. The morale of the Sonics players was high, and the point difference quickly widened to more than 20 points.
