Chapter 23 [Let's Roar Together]
Snow found a new movie this time, a science fiction comedy "Tank Girl" that Yang Jian had never heard of. Snow said that it was just released this year and it was something new to watch without going to a theater.
The background of the movie is an apocalypse where there is extreme water shortage. The heroine is an unconventional blonde girl who looks like Gwen Stefani and has a personality like Harley Quinn.
What surprised Yang Jian was that the second female lead turned out to be played by Naomi Watts. This is a late-blooming blonde beauty star who became famous in David Lynch's masterpiece "Mulholland Drive" and later starred in
The science fiction blockbuster "King Kong" directed by Peter Jackson. In this movie, she dyed her hair black and wore a pair of glasses. At first glance, she looked like Harry Potter.
The heroine helped the second heroine drive away the security guard who was harassing her, and even kissed her and said, "This is my girlfriend."
Boy, this movie immediately took it to a new level.
The villain's base was attacked, Naomi got a plane, and the heroine also got a tank. Naomi accidentally bumped into the barrel of the tank, and then the camera went blurry, and the picture was all broken up.
"Mulholland Drive". This shows that she and that movie are destined to be together.
Snow, who had a very low sense of humor, was saying "goose, goose, goose, goose" on the side, and Yang Jian couldn't help but laugh too.
However, their laughter points are different. Snow thinks this movie is quite interesting, and Yang Jian feels that she has watched a live-action version of "Shuke and Beta". This is a sentiment.
This film is definitely Naomi’s dark history. Whoever needs our help, just call Shuke Beta, Shuke who flies a plane, Shuke who loves to work...
As the plot unfolds, the movie's crazy plots emerge one after another, such as an inexplicable musical song and dance. When these people are raping Broadway like crazy, the female partner who has just been found by the heroine is kidnapped by the villain.
Another example is that when the heroine is driving a tank and PKing enemies, she is still grilling hot dogs with one hand. What is this?
The final battle was even more inexplicable. After the villain boss was injured, he cut off his head and replaced it with a virtual head, but he was still alive. Moreover, in the context of extreme water shortage, the villain decided to drown the kidnapped supporting girl in water.
After the not-so-exciting action scene, the heroine killed the villain boss and kissed a kangaroo man. From then on, one person and one animal lived a life without shame.
This crap would be damned if it had a box office. It could only be broadcast on TV and sell videos to make some money. If you don't buy a ticket and go to the theater, it would be fun to complain while watching it.
The next day, the Sonics played back-to-back games against the Washington Bullets, the Wizards before they were renamed.
Yang Jian performed various dunks in training in the morning and returned to his best condition after a sleep. Top-level physical fitness also includes recovery ability. He has no pressure even if he plays the whole game, and it is too easy to play less than 30 minutes in each game.
In the first two games, he had no chance to play more. The team led too much and entered garbage time early.
This game was very intense. The Bullets defended the penalty area very tightly and their offense was equally good. The players made sudden shots from inside and outside, leading the SuperSonics by 14 points in the first half.
The Bullets players actively engaged in fast breaks, taking advantage of the Sonics' weakness in their slow return to defense. Almost all of the Sonics' big men were slow-moving white muscular men. They could resist people in positional combat, but they could not guarantee the speed of retreat.
.
The 183cm tall point guard Chris Whitney outplayed Snow, scoring 20 points in the first half and hitting 4 three-pointers. Snow faced a guard with speed and shooting ability, and his defense was very good.
Hard work.
In the second half, Bob Weiss adjusted his tactics and instead of letting Snow sit on the bench, he asked him to guard shooting guard Michael Curry. Yang Jian was responsible for guarding point guard Whitney.
Advantage.
Weiss also put Byron Houston, who is 196cm tall and weighs 113kg, at the 4th position, and Scheffler, who is actually 203cm tall, to play center. This small lineup can compete with opponents and fight for fast breaks.
After the team picked up speed, Yang Jian's performance became more eye-catching. He hit consecutive mid-range shots, had two tomahawk dunks during the counterattack, and an alley-oop two-handed dunk.
If Whitney faces Yang Jian, he can only use fouls to stop him from moving forward. Michael Curry and a swingman with a confusing name can't be guarded either. His speed is unmatched, and he can move in positions to catch and shoot.
Opponents are also difficult to guard against.
Yang simply scored 17 points in the quarter, leading the Sonics to a 16-2 run in the third quarter to catch up with the score.
The Bullets still couldn't defend themselves in the final quarter, and the Sonics quickly overtook the score and led by 10 points before the end of the game with 5 minutes left.
At this time, Bullets power forward Rasheed Wallace became angry. After missing a hard hit, he yelled at the referee, thinking that the Frank guard who was guarding him had fouled.
The referee called Rashid a technical foul, and Yang Jian received an attribute point.
"The host has witnessed history. Star player Rasheed Wallace yelled at the referee for a technical foul for the first time in the NBA and received 1 attribute point."
The system did not extract skills this time. Yang Jian realized that the extraction was random and it was not the first time that he witnessed the history of star players. The good news is that although each star player can only extract skills once, there will be opportunities in the future if he misses this time.
.
Yang Jian is very satisfied if he can get an attribute point, because it is not uncommon for No. 4 rookie Rasheed to yell at the referee.
In a parallel world, Rasheed is the king of technical fouls in the NBA and is nicknamed the "Roaring King". In the 1997-98 season, Rasheed received an unprecedented 38 technical fouls. In the 1998-99 season, Wallace once again
Breaking his own record with 40 technical fouls.
In 2003, he was suspended for seven games by the league for threatening Tim Donaghy (later the goalkeeper), the longest suspension in history for non-violent reasons.
Because he has too many technical fouls and can yell more than Garnett, many people think that Rasheed is a super tough guy. In fact, this guy is as good at jump shots as Garnett, and the proportion of offense at the basket is pitifully low. Rasheed is bigger than Garnett.
Nate is even softer, averaging 4.3 free throws and 8.2 rebounds per game in his peak season, all while playing 37.5 minutes.
Today, Yang Jian and Rashid were shouting and shouting loudly on the court, and it was difficult not to attract attention. Rashid found that there was someone who could shout better than him, and he felt inexplicably irritated.
In the end, Rashid lost, and the game was lost. 105 to 98, and the SuperSonics won three consecutive victories.
Yang Jian played 35 minutes, making 13 of 20 shots, 7 of 8 free throws, and scored 33 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks, and 1 steal. He had four dunks and 7 of 13 mid-range shots. He did not make a three-pointer in two consecutive games.
The ball was shot from the bottom corner and missed.
Weiss allowed Yang Jian to take more shots. When the score couldn't be extended, the team needed someone to step up and take on the heavy responsibility, and he was obviously the most reliable one. After Yang Jian gained skills, he became very decisive in his shots, and the coach could see that he had changed.
Stronger.
Weiss plans to discuss with head coach George Karl to let Yang Jian directly start the new season, believing that he has the ability.
Yang Jian himself thinks so. His shooting touch is not as good as Hawkins, but his effect on the field may not be as good as his opponent's. This is because he has a stronger ability to get rid of defenses and is easier to get good shooting opportunities. On the defensive end, he is also much tougher than Hawkins.
Already.
The points obtained by Yang Jian were naturally added to the weakest mental attribute, reaching 21.
It's not like he never thought about adding basketball skills or shooting accuracy, but after thinking about it, he felt it was a bit unreliable.
There is no reason why his skills suddenly improved. Without actual training and solid basic skills, how much better can his dribbling skills be? If he adds a little more and it still takes some time to adapt, why not practice it by yourself?
The higher the skill, the harder it is to improve. When he encounters a bottleneck, if he can break through the bottleneck by adding points, the points will be well spent.
After three consecutive victories, the famous TV station ESPN was ready to send reporters to interview Yang Jian. He was the best player in the Salt Lake City Summer League. He scored higher every game and seemed to be getting stronger and stronger.
Many people want to know why he was so good that he failed to be selected, and why he didn't have the ball at Harvard University before. In previous interviews, Yang Jian resolutely refused to talk about his time in China, nor did he speak ill of the Harvard basketball coach. The more he didn't talk, the more people
The more mysterious he becomes.
Other teams began to envy the SuperSonics. A player with amazing talent was picked up. Even if Yang Jian does not have such strong offensive power, he is worth cultivating. His physical fitness has the potential to become a super defensive player.
The fact that the SuperSonics have signed Yang Jian was exposed by the media. When the summer league ends, the SuperSonics are preparing to hold a press conference for him.
