Chapter 66 [Yang Mi is so arrogant]

Yang Jian was the best player in the game. He made 10 of 15 shots, 3 of 7 three-pointers, and 7 of 7 free throws in 30 minutes. He scored 30 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block.

His field goal percentage is as high as 66.7%, the three-point shooting percentage is 42.9%, and the free throw percentage is 100%. For two consecutive games, his offensive efficiency is the highest on the team.

Kemp had the second best performance, making 9 of 13 shots, 5 of 7 free throws, and scored 23 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals.

Payton made 7 of 12 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers, and scored 15 points, 2 rebounds, 11 assists and 2 steals.

The performance of the Lakers' core perimeter players was a bit miserable.

Cedric Ceballos made 2 of 11 shots, 1 of 7 three-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, and scored 11 points, 2 rebounds, 1 steal, and no assists.

Nick Van Exel's performance was even worse. He made 0 of 4 shots, 4 of 6 free throws, and scored 4 points and 2 assists. He was almost beaten by Payton on the offensive end, and was bullied by Yang Jian on the defensive end.

Campbell performed well and scored 20 points and 11 rebounds, and Eddie Jones also scored 15 points. If they had not played well, the Lakers would have lost even more miserably.

The best substitute performer for the Sonics was Sam Perkins, who made 5 of 9 shots, 3 of 4 three-pointers, 3 of 4 free throws, and scored 16 points and 5 rebounds.

The SuperSonics have a strong inside line, and Bo Outlaw didn't even get a chance to play in this game. George Karl forgot about him. Because he is a defensive forward, the SuperSonics attack too hard and there is no need to strengthen defense.

Booutello smiled on the sidelines and cheered for his teammates, and he integrated well. Although he was not reused in the SuperSonics, he had a chance to win the championship. There was no hope for him in the Clippers.

It's hard for a bad team like that to get a big contract even if they put up numbers.

The Clippers are a traditional bad team that is despised. Clippers players are regarded as rubbish if they produce statistics, and they are regarded as waste if they cannot produce statistics, and they cannot improve even if they produce statistics.

The Sonics' next game will be against the Clippers at home, and the coaching staff promises to let Booutello play more games against his old club. He is more familiar with the characteristics of his teammates and will definitely be able to play a role in defense.

After taking a shower in the locker room, Yang Jian went to the press conference. There were more reporters present this time because Yang Jian performed amazingly in the first game and many media wanted to see if he could perform stably.

Yang Jian's two consecutive games with 30 points is big news. He is the rookie who gets the most attention this year, no one else.

As soon as Yang Jian entered the venue wearing the team's sportswear, he immediately killed countless films. He is not as stout as black players, and his height is within the range of ordinary people. He looks good in figure and has a sunny temperament.

After the interview started, the reporter asked him how he adjusted his mentality. "You are the best performer among the rookies. You don't seem to be nervous at all. How do you adjust your mentality so well?"

Yang Jian smiled and said: "Many people have told me about this problem. Gary's words are very helpful to me. He tells me to focus on the game and not think too much. To be honest, I am a little nervous every time I play. But I

When I hear the cheers of the fans, I feel even more excited."

The reporter said: "The only thing you heard in Salt Lake City was boos."

Yang Jian explained: "The boos from the away fans are not harsh to me, but an encouragement. Because I played so well, they wanted to use this way to affect my state. When I think of so many people paying attention

I am even more excited."

"Everything in your body is full of stimulants, not even a drop of blood." Is this someone like you? The reporter thought to himself. Other newcomers will be very nervous. Yang Jian is simply an anomaly.

SuperSonics teammates also feel that Yang Jian has a big heart and a first-class self-regulation ability. His method of adjustment is very simple, just stay in the locker room for a while.

Yang Jian was in a daze, just bringing up the system panel to look at personal data. He often looked at it, eager to make progress in the game. He also looked at it when he was taking a shower, but his attributes were not improved this time.

The reporter asked: "You are the best rookie since the start of the season and the favorite to win the Rookie of the Year award. How do you feel about this?"

"I hope I can maintain my good form. The season has just begun. I think other rookies will be able to catch up after they adapt to the rhythm of the NBA. It's a bit too early to say the best rookie after only two games." Yang Jian

Choose to be low-key.

In a parallel world, the Rookie of the Year statistics this season are astonishing.

"Little Flying Squirrel" Damon Stoudemire averaged 40.9 minutes per game, scoring 19 points, 4 rebounds and 9.3 assists. However, this guy is a data brush. The Raptors' record is at the bottom of the Eastern Conference with only 21 wins.

The team often fell behind by more than 20 points, but the little flying squirrel stayed on the court and continued to play.

Yang Jian's record is definitely better than that of Little Flying Squirrel. As long as he averages more than 20 points per game, the judges will most likely give him the award. It doesn't matter if he doesn't give it. He doesn't care much about the Best Rookie Award. The championship is important.

In the end, when the two sides compared their records, it was not necessarily a good thing for the little flying squirrel to win the award. God knows how he will be criticized by the fans. The popularity of the dunk king is definitely much higher than that of the defensive black hole point guard who is 178cm tall.

The reporter asked: "You took the most shots in the team this game. This is the treatment only stars receive. How did you rise to the top so quickly?"

Yang Jian thought for a while and said: "We have three famous stars in our team who can attract defenses. After the formation is spread out, I am the fastest and can create simple shooting opportunities by running. This is the result of the cooperation of the whole team.

Our tactics were successful."

His answer was to put the question on the coach. The coach arranged the game like this. Did he deliberately not take shots when he had the opportunity, just because he took fewer shots than the stars? That kind of idiot will definitely not become a star.

There are never fewer reporters making trouble, and some people are asking pointed questions. "You dunked four more times today, and in the third quarter you completed a dunk over Van Exel's head. What were you thinking at the time?"

That dunk was a little insulting."

Ignoring whether the dunk is beautiful or not, they only say that they do not respect the players. Some people said that Yang Jian disrespected Malone against the Jazz last time. These people are eager to recruit some local players, but they have double standards for foreign players and find faults from all angles.

"He was standing too straight when he was defending and blocked my way. I was rushing too fast and couldn't stop. If I didn't jump, I would hit him hard. I have never tried to dunk like that.

I felt incredible that I would do this to avoid him getting excited."

"I know this dunk is very unfriendly to defenders. I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to Van Exel. I'm sorry. I promise that I will never do this kind of dunk on the court again." Yang Jian has already apologized,

The reporter couldn't hold on to this topic any longer.

He would not say that he had practiced it on purpose, but that he did it on purpose. The only person who knew that he could dunk like this was Snow, and the two of them had practiced various dunks together.

As soon as he saw Van Exel standing in front of him, he decided to leap over him and dunk. Someone else wouldn't have been so determined. Why did he treat Van Exel like this? It's all Kobe Bryant's fault.

In the parallel world, Kobe is known for his almost paranoid competitiveness. When he was just starting out, he showed his sharpness and was eager to challenge every famous star in the league. He even deliberately created opportunities to challenge them during the game. The Lakers management did not Less headaches from this.

In order to duel with Jordan in the All-Star Game, Kobe even shouted to Karl Malone to get out of the way and not pick and roll. His competitiveness was evident, and it was obviously not easy to get him to admit defeat. However, in an interview, Kobe He admitted to reporters that he was beaten by his teammates during his rookie season.

"The first person who broke me? Well, let me think about it, it was Van Exel. During the Lakers' team training, he completely broke me, and he kept talking trash to me. ,'If you dare to reach out and take out the ball, I will teach you how to behave today.'"

Yang Jian was not sure if Kobe would say such things in the future. If he did, the comparison would be interesting. Crazy Fan is destined to be a celebrity.

Twenty years later, Comey said: "Van Exel is very strong and beat Kobe Bryant in his rookie season."

Yang Mi said: "Is Van Exel very strong? He was jumped over the head by Yang Jian in his rookie season and completed a dunk."
