On the 4th, the SuperSonics played back-to-back away games against the 76ers, and Yang Jian broke out again.

He played 40 minutes, making 23 of 30 shots, 12 of 18 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, scoring 63 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals, defeating the perimeter combination of Iverson and Willie Green.

In a positional battle, Green can't be guarded one-on-one. He is 193cm tall and weighs 91kg, similar in stature to Yang Jian. His physical fitness is at a disadvantage overall.

Yang Jian defended Iverson many times on the defensive end. During the counterattack, he would get misplaced shots and shoot consecutive three-pointers.

Moreover, Yang Jian mainly stayed near the penalty area to prevent breakthroughs, and let Iverson shoot mid- and long-range jumpers. Iverson made 13 of 30 shots, 2 of 7 three-pointers, and 6 of 8 free throws. He scored 34 points, 9 rebounds, and 7 assists.

5 turnovers, shooting rate 43.3%.

After being coached by Larry Brown for many years, it is too late for Iverson to improve his three-point shooting. His three-point shooting ability has deteriorated and is not as good as his rookie self.

Brown suggested that Iverson focus on breakthroughs and mid-range shots, making his scoring efficiency extremely low. What is disgusting is that a group of people also said that Brown made Iverson what he is now. The reason is that after Brown left the team, the 76ers continued to lose

Can't even make it to the playoffs.

Anyway, the old white coach is a badass. Brown made some substitutions and replaced the substitute with a hot touch. Some people praised him for his foresight and rich experience. Why? Because the substitute he replaced was a substitute who had a good touch and played at a super level.

If it takes a long time, you should make a mistake.

Before the start of this game, the media was still touting Iverson's strength because he averaged 30.7 points and 8 assists per game. After a nationally broadcast game, Iverson's true colors were revealed again.

Yang Jian's luxurious data was the second 60 in the league this season and the 22nd personal 60.

Many people found that Yang Jian was particularly enthusiastic when he beat the 76ers. He did it on purpose. Iverson was too easy to be targeted. Iverson, who may not be 183cm tall in shoes, regarded himself as a shooting guard, and he was really right when defending.

The upper shooting guard couldn't guard him.

Billups is not suitable for guarding fast point guards, so it makes sense for Yang Jian to guard Iverson.

Including free throws, Iverson took 2 more free throws than Yang Jian and scored 29 fewer points. What's even more frightening is that Iverson played very well in this game, and his shooting percentage exceeded his personal season average of 41.8%.

Yang Jian has long been like a demon king. Anyone who wants to step on him and rise to power must be mentally prepared to be beaten to the point of losing their face by him.

The 76ers are not without gains. They have only won 7 games in the beginning. They will definitely be able to select a high-ranking rookie this year. The 76ers are weaker than the parallel world. They lack Dalembert and Korver and lack interior defense.

Another three points are missing.

Yang Jian's reward was a challenge card, 9 in total. It felt like the system reminded him to challenge. He did not use the props immediately. He has been in great form recently and is very motivated to play in the NBA.

On January 12, the SuperSonics lost, losing to the Clippers away from home.

Steve Francis had an eye-catching performance this time. He efficiently scored 35 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists. The only drawback was that he made 5 turnovers. Miller and Boozer's defense was terrible, leaving the Clippers' two blue-collar insiders behind.

Scored a lot of points.

Then, the Sonics lost back-to-back away games to the Magic, losing their sixth game.

McGrady performed very bravely, scoring 34 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists.

Grant Hill also played his best performance since his comeback. He played 32 minutes, made 9 of 11 shots, 3 of 3 free throws, and scored 21 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists.

Hill finally returned this season. Before that, he was either undergoing surgery or on the way to surgery. However, it was still difficult for the Magic to reach the playoffs. Hill even suspected that he was declining. Could it be that he was destined not to survive the postseason?

First round?

The poor defense of his teammates left Yang Jian speechless. Two of the three big insiders always wanted to grab rebounds. They didn't interfere with the shooting or jump to block shots. They just stretched out their hands.

Boozer, who came off the bench, had a garbage performance of 3-for-16 shooting. He scored 6 points, 11 rebounds, 1 assist, and no free throws in 32 minutes.

George Karl was very dissatisfied with Boozer's performance. He threw the ball very resolutely, and it seemed that he wanted good data. Although Yang Jian did not publicly blame Boozer, he knew very well that the Sonics needed to be rebuilt.

Boozer is a rebellious person who will fight for his own interests. All he wants is data and a high salary, and he has not even thought about staying with the Sonics. Due to image issues, almost no merchants approached Boozer for endorsements.

If you want to get rich, you must get a high-paying, long-term contract.

Those who have played in the SuperSonics for many seasons are no longer motivated and have no shortage of honors. They were able to complete five consecutive championships only because of Yang Jian's leadership, and the task was relatively simple.

Yang Jian believes that except for Ginobili, Billups, Gerald Wallace, and Payton, everyone can be traded.

Payton will definitely stay with the Sonics forever, and currently he is only pursuing the ending of one man, one city.

On the 15th, Yang Jian did not let any more accidents happen and led the team to a 126-97 home victory over the Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers have a good record of 22 wins and 14 losses this season and are a playoff team. LeBron James's average data has increased to 27.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, 7.6 assists and 2.2 steals. Inside Ilgauskas and Drew Gooden's averages

The performance is also excellent.

Derek Fisher on the outside is an excellent dribbling defender. After dribbling past half court, he stretches out and waits for an opportunity to shoot a three-pointer. However, their shooting guard position has shortcomings. They are strong in offense and weak in defense.

Ben Gordon is more suitable to be the sixth man of the team and has strong offensive ability. If he starts, he will be easily targeted at the 2nd position with a height of 191cm. In this game, Ira Newbell and substitute Ben Gordon were both targeted by Yang.

Jane was blown away.

James' defensive effect on Yang Jian was not good either. Yang Jian relied on screens and mismatches to break out Z and Gooden, or make a one-step jumper.

James was trapped in a zone defense, and he also mainly pulled out jumpers. His performance was not bad, scoring 35 points, 5 rebounds, 11 assists and 4 steals. Yang Jian scored a triple-double of 44 points, 11 rebounds, 12 assists and 3 steals.

Miller, Boozer, and Lewis all have many opportunities to catch the ball and shoot, and their shooting percentages are very high.

On the night of the game, Yang Jian left the team and flew to Los Angeles alone to prepare for the Golden Globe Awards ceremony to be held in Los Angeles on the evening of the 16th.

"Phantom of the Opera" received a total of four nominations, so Yang Jian attended.

This time he walked the red carpet with Anne Hathaway again, and the two were nominated for Best Actor and Actor. Hathaway was very close to Yang Jian last time on the red carpet, but this time she deliberately kept a distance.

After entering the venue, finding a seat and sitting down, the two started chatting.

Yang Jian asked: "Why are you so reserved when you see me this time?"

"I'm afraid of being scolded. I see news about Jennifer's pregnancy every day." Hathaway asked in a low voice: "Is the child really yours? You didn't make it clear in the interview."

"I have already acquiesced. Everyone knows that it is mine anyway. How are you doing lately? You haven't found an Italian boyfriend, have you?" Yang Jian asked.

"Huh? Of course not, why do you ask?"

"I heard before that there was an Italian girl chasing you... It seems I remembered it wrong." Yang Jian smiled slightly.

He inadvertently created a butterfly effect, causing Hathaway to miss the opportunity to meet her fraudster boyfriend. At that time, Hathaway focused on making movies and filmed two movies in succession. Then she went around to promote

, the bags under your eyes are so tired, how can you still have the energy to fall in love?

Hathaway smiled and asked: "You asked me about my boyfriend, do you think you also have thoughts about me?"

"I have absolutely no idea, I swear. It's not that you're not good enough, it's that I'm being stared at by four girlfriends." Yang Jian said seriously, and made a gesture of swearing.

Hathaway bent over and smiled into an emoticon, not forgetting to cover her chest to prevent her exposure. "I don't believe you only have four girlfriends. The news broke that you have more than 10."

"You may not believe it, but there are indeed four of them staring at me." Yang Jian told the truth.
Chapter completed!
