Chapter 332 [Making experts into a colander]
Sun Zhengping shouted: "Oh my God, this is probably the most arrogant three-point goal in NBA history. Yang Jian was so confident that he turned around to celebrate without even looking at the ball after it was thrown."
Zhang Li said with a smile: "George Karl arranged for Yang Jian and Burgess to face each other. He was really bullying during the counterattack. He just hit them casually. This is a difficult shot during training. He knew it would definitely go in."
In the national live broadcast room, ESPN commentator Aaron Miles said: "Young is so crazy. This game will definitely score high points again. Dave Cowens (the Hornets coach) was dumbfounded on the sidelines."
Jack Carter said: "If the Sonics lead by more than 30 points at halftime, Young will not be able to put up super numbers. I feel that if the Sonics don't always win easily, he can score more than 30 points in every game."
Aaron laughed and said: "It's too conservative. I think he averages 3,510 points in 40 minutes per game. No one can guard him one-on-one, not even Jordan. He switches offense and defense too quickly, and opponents cannot keep double-teaming him."
When the Hornets attacked, Boggs took the ball to the frontcourt and passed the ball. Rice moved to the right and caught the ball at 70 degrees and shot a three-point jumper. Under Schrempf's interference, he hit the ball and returned a goal. 7 to 3.
When the SuperSonics attacked, Yang Jian slipped from the baseline and ran from the left to the right under the cover of Buck Williams.
Payton and Kemp played a pick-and-roll in the middle, attracting Anthony Mason Jr. to help defend and then moved sideways to the right to pass the ball. Yang Jian received the ball and made a feint shot to shake Dell Curry up. He moved sideways and stepped back, and made a 45-degree jumper.
Three points.
Whoops! Another hollow! 10 to 3.
There were only two people on this side, Yang Jian and Payton. Bogues didn't help defend. Even if he helped defend, he couldn't block Yang Jian's jump shot because he was too short.
After scoring the goal, Yang Jian clenched his fists and roared in celebration. He was full of domineering attitude as he turned against the visitors!
Zhang Lili shouted: "This is going crazy. Yang Jian scored 10 points in a row in the opening game. The Knicks can't guard him, and it's even harder for a team with average defense like the Hornets to guard him."
Sun Zhengping said: "The Hornets coach hasn't called a timeout yet. If Burgess is not replaced and Yang Jian plays like this throughout the game, it wouldn't be surprising to score 100 points."
Zhang Lili said with a smile: "The Hornets don't have anyone suitable to defend Yang Jian. Rice and Curry don't move fast and can't jump high. If a veteran is substituted, he will be beaten even worse and the offense will be worse."
Sun Zhengping nodded. "Even if Hersey Hawkins can play, he can't be Yang Jian's opponent in one-on-one. He is a player who is strong in offense and weak in defense."
Hornets coach Dave Cowens thought the same way, so he didn't call a timeout. If he did, he didn't know how to adjust. Bogues is the Hornets' starting point guard. Who will organize the offense when he takes a break?
Wouldn't that mean surrendering directly? After fighting for 2 minutes.
The Hornets attacked, and Boggs and Divac forced a pick-and-roll in the middle. Yang Jian easily followed up with the breakthrough.
Yang Jian was two meters away. There was no need to go around the screen. He just waited for someone to break out in the penalty area. Boggs had to play like this, otherwise he would not be able to find the familiar rhythm of the game.
Divac cut the ball in the middle and hit Kemp hard, attracting a double-team from Buck Williams, and passed the ball to the left baseline. Divac has height and weight advantages, and it is difficult for Kemp to defend himself alone.
Anthony Mason Jr. got an open shot and hit a mid-range shot. 10 to 5.
Hornets fans gave Mason sporadic applause. They didn't like Mason because he was used as a bargaining chip in exchange for Larry Johnson. "Big Mom" was the most explosive player for the Hornets last season, and Mason's style of play was simple and unattractive.
.
When the SuperSonics attacked, Yang Jian still ran to the baseline without catching the ball. Unless the Hornets players directly double-teamed Yang Jian without the ball, it would be difficult to stop him from catching the ball.
If he is double-teamed without the ball, it is tantamount to surrender, because the Hornets have to leave Schrempf or Kemp Williams, who are known for their good shooting, to stand under the basket. If they leave him open, the basket will be empty.
Yang Jian played the same routine again, this time he caught the ball on the right side, Mason came over to double-team, and Curry chased after him.
Yang Jian took advantage of the situation and passed the ball to the middle. Kemp got an open shot from the high post but failed to make a shot. Divac took the rebound and passed it to Bogues to start a fast break. Bogues used his specialty to advance quickly and passed to the right. Les.
Rice relied on Schrempf to force a breakthrough and score a layup, 10-7.
Rice is one of the most underrated scorers in league history, with ball-handling skills and precise shooting. Schrempf can't guard him one-on-one, which is the Hornets' strongest point.
In the SuperSonics offense, this time Yang Jian did not go to the baseline. He went directly to the three-point line at 70 degrees on the left side and used a screen to cut through Payton's pass. He got rid of Curry and did not wait for Divac to change defense, and took one step inside the three-point line. Jump shot hit! 12 to 7.
The iron-blooded big jump shot also started to show its power. After scoring the goal, Yang Jian roared again to add buff to himself.
The Hornets attacked, Rice held the ball and singled out Schramf, but he changed direction on the left and missed a jumper. Divac grabbed the offensive rebound and turned around to throw, but the throw still failed. Williams took the ball out and Schramf The husband picked up the basketball and immediately passed it to the front court.
Yang Jian started a fast break and relied on his speed to catch up with Boggs who had retreated to defend first. He relied on him to take the ball and hit the basket. Boggs wanted to foul, but he pulled Yang Jian's arm and failed. Instead, he lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground in a panic.
Yang Jian leaned forward and rushed out. He dunked the basketball in and the referee's whistle sounded, 21.
Even if this was the Hornets' home court, it was impossible for the referee to call Yang Jian an offensive foul. Bogues fell to the ground because his body was too weak.
Boggs got up from the ground, with helplessness written all over his face. He tried his best to pull the foul, but not the ball. In this way, he couldn't hold him back. Yang Jian was too fierce.
Coach Dave Cowens requested a timeout and was about to replace Burgess. Even if the offense weakened, he could no longer let Yang Jian score easily like this.
Zhang Lili said with a smile: "The Hornets coach has to call a timeout. I don't know how many points Yang Jian will score today. He will come back later to complete the free throws. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be 15 points in a single quarter."
Sun Zhengping said: "When SuperSonics misplaced their position and counterattacked, Burgess was a colander when defending Yang Jian."
Zhang Lijia said: "He scored 50 points in three quarters like this. In NBA history, no star has such a strong scoring explosiveness, and I guess Chamberlain can't do it either."
After the game, Yang Jian drank some water and wiped her sweat with the towel handed over by Snow.
He hopes that the Hornets will not replace Burgess, and even if they do, don't let him sit on the bench all the time, and replace him as soon as possible. He doesn't feel any pressure against Bogues, nor against Curry. It is too easy to score.
In his opinion, Boggs is a defensive black hole with neither height nor confrontation, and relatively average speed. Previously, the American media did not think so, and had always rated Boggs very highly.
"Experts" said that Boggs' defense has never been a colander, with strong stealing ability and full of fighting spirit. When playing for the US team in international competitions, he once defended a European team's point guard who was nearly 2 meters away and dared not move. The ball passed half-court.
This is not his masterpiece. His most famous battle was against Jordan, who was at his peak morale. In that game against the Bulls, Bogues cut off Jordan's low post fadeaway jumper and defended Jordan once.
, this is the most legendary stroke in his career resume.
If Bogues defended Jordan once, he would be bragging for a lifetime. If Jordan had challenged him one-on-one, he would probably have scored 100 points, but he just didn't have the chance to try. The hype is like this. Once he successfully intercepted the ball, the media thought Bogues was awesome. Yes.
Fans carry out brainwashing propaganda.
Before Yang Jian traveled through 2021, there were still many Yun fans who believed that Bogues was a defensive expert.
There was a classic comment on an online forum: "Boggs' defensive level is also outstanding. If Thomas had half the defense he did, he might not have faded out of the league so early."
Yes, Thomas, who is 175cm tall and weighs 84kg, has less than half the defensive ability of Bogues, who is 160cm tall and weighs up to 62kg.
Is this a Boggs bull, or are some fans thinking on their knees? It’s really not ordinary people who can believe such nonsense.
After the timeout, the players from both sides returned to the court. The Hornets replaced Bogues and replaced him with substitute point guard Anthony Goldwire. He is 185cm tall and weighs 83 kilograms. He is definitely much stronger than Bogues in confrontation.
Yang Jian made an extra free throw, 15-7.
