Chapter 899 [Inside giant pit, tragically eliminated]
Yang Jian achieved two more milestones and was elected regular season MVP for the seventh time in his career.
This milestone is incredible. It puts his honor further away from everyone else. Every time he wins this award in the future, it will be a new major milestone.
The reward is "Time Loop Card". He already has two of them and doesn't plan to try this item for the time being.
His second milestone is to be selected to the All-NBA Team ten times. This is a very powerful honor, and there are not many players in NBA history who can achieve this.
The reward is 1 high-grade elixir of immortality. Yang Jian has saved 7 of them, which can extend the shelf life of the family's beauty. However, if this continues, people in the world will think that they are abnormal.
Yao Ming contributed two attribute points, one burst and one defense, an honor he had never had in the parallel world, which was directly related to the intermediate healing potion that Yang Jian gave him.
Without Yang Jian, Yao Ming is likely to be seriously injured this season and has reached his limit. After using the medicine, he played in 82 games again, forming the Big Three with Brand and Ray Allen.
Yao Ming is already vaguely the boss of the Bulls, averaging 22.3 points, 10.2 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2 blocks per game, and shooting 55.2% from the field. His points, rebounds, and field goal percentage are the highest on the team.
Iverson was squeezed out of the lineup by Yang Jian and contributed one point. His inclusion in the second team was controversial because he did not make the playoffs and his shooting percentage was too low.
Kobe's selection to the third team was also controversial. He did not make the playoffs, but his statistics were relatively good.
Carter and Tracy McGrady, who had trouble with their old club during the season, were both eliminated.
The controversy between the four major shooting guards has never stopped. The common feature is that they have statistics but no record. Some people thought before that they did not have good teammates to cooperate with. Now, teammates have changed batch after batch, and coaches have also changed, but nothing works.
When Yang Jian received the award, he held a press conference, which attracted more than 200 reporters.
He is already the player who has won the most regular season MVPs in the history of the NBA, but his only emotion is "very happy." He cannot tell others his true feelings. What he wants is the reward he gets after hitting a milestone.
For these rewards, Yang Jian will not retire easily, and his career will definitely be as long as it is nerve-wracking.
The reporter asked Yang Jian to predict the Western Conference Finals. Yang Jian said: "We have a greater chance of winning. Because we have rich experience in winning, the Suns have not been to the Western Conference Finals for a long time. Of course, the Suns are also a very strong team.
The team has four All-Star players and the depth of the lineup is amazing."
Regardless of whether he can advance or not, Yang Jian put his words here first. He guessed that there would be a lot of resistance, but he was confident in his own strength. In a parallel world, the Suns had never made it to the finals.
However, the schedule has changed, Joe Johnson was not injured in the playoffs, and the Suns are now playing with the strongest lineup.
The reporter asked: "Brad Miller and Carlos Boozer have not played. Will they come back in the Western Conference Finals?"
"I have no comment on this." If Yang Jian said he would come back, opponents would arrange defensive tactics based on the Sonics' lineup.
Of course, it may not necessarily be targeted. Yang Jian is not sure whether coach D'Antoni has any defensive tactics.
At the beginning of the Western Conference Finals, center Brad Miller returned in the first game. He was in poor condition after not playing for a long time. He was afraid of getting injured again and did not dare to make full movements.
Miller like this won't be of much help to the team even if he plays. His shooting percentage is not high, and he can't guard against the fierce little bully Stoudemire.
Yang Jian defended Joe Johnson very well, so the Suns bypassed Yang Jian and attacked in other positions. If Yang Jian defended Nash, Nash would constantly use pick-and-rolls to let his teammates attack, and wait for opportunities by himself.
The Sonics' interior defense was full of holes, and Stoudemire scored 42 points, 13 rebounds and 2 assists. Marion and Danny Fordson also performed well, with the three of them constantly hitting the basket.
Although Yang Jian scored 50 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals, the SuperSonics lost at home 108-115 and got off to a good start.
The whistle was fair. The Sonics lost because of a problem with their own players. Rashard Lewis not only had poor defense, he also made 0 of 4 three-pointers in this game. His state in the playoffs was worse than in the regular season.
The point shooting percentage is only 35.4%.
To put it bluntly, Lewis no longer has the fighting spirit and cannot concentrate enough during the game.
When Miller came out, he not only failed to guard the penalty area, but also became a defensive weakness. Yang Jian had nothing to do about it. He also couldn't guard against a beast like Stoudemire in singles. Duncan struggled to defend alone and was beaten.
The Sonics are in urgent need of inside players, but Boozer has no intention of returning. His early return from a fractured hand will affect his shooting touch. If the team loses due to a low shooting percentage and poor defense, it may cost him his worth.
, the gain outweighs the loss.
Between collective honor and personal interests, Boozer chose the latter without hesitation. He would not force a comeback. He already had a championship ring, and he wanted money even more.
In the second game, the two sides fought hard to attack again. This time, the SuperSonics perimeter trio launched a fast break and overwhelmed the Suns' defense. Yang Jian played as a small forward, and Gerald Wallace played as a power forward. The tactics became a big hit.
device.
Lewis had a hard time defending Marion on air cuts. Gerrard and Marion have similar physical qualities, heights, and weights, and their defensive effect is better. For a while, the Sonics didn't even need a center. Lewis faced Stoudemire and fouled when he couldn't guard him.
.
The score was 141 to 128, and the SuperSonics tied the score at 1 to 1.
Yang Jian posted luxurious statistics of 37 points, 5 rebounds, 18 assists and 2 steals. Many of his fancy passes in counterattacks made the fans happy.
When the Suns played at home, the home whistle began to become obvious. Suns players kept attacking the basket, and the SuperSonics' depth inside couldn't stop them. If the defensive action was too big, they would be called for fouls.
When Miller got into foul trouble, he had no choice but to play Mickey Moore, who was brutally beaten by his opponent.
At the critical moment, a few fouls can change the outcome of the game. The Suns won the two games by 6 points and 5 points respectively, leading the total score 3 to 1.
Yang Jian scored 40 points in two games but failed to lead the team to victory. The interior defense was too bad. Lewis was completely lost and was not a qualified second-in-command. Against Nash, Billups' performance was only average. The team mainly relied on Yang Jian.
and Ginobili scored.
The SuperSonics, who returned to their home court, finally managed to combine inside and outside. Miller missed four games and got one, and his statistics can compare with Stoudemire.
The SuperSonics won 118-110, chasing the score to 2-3.
Game 6 is the Suns' home court, and the team also has obvious home whistles and star whistles. The league has made it clear that it wants the Suns to advance and then support Stoudemire.
But things did not go so smoothly. Yang Jian entered the "G6 God of War" mode and performed like a god. He played 43 minutes, making 25 of 35 shots, 11 of 16 three-pointers, 10 of 10 free throws, and scored 71 points and 12
Rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals.
Not only did the Suns fail to advance, they also entered garbage time five minutes early. Yang Jian made a jump shot in front of someone. His mid-to-long-range shooting rate was ridiculously high. The opponent could only stop him with fouls, and he also made all free throws.
His 7010 points in the playoffs are of course a milestone, and the highest score in a single game in the history of the playoffs. The reward was a skill upgrade card, but he saved 6 of them and was too lazy to use them.
I don’t know if it was a side effect of G6 God of War. In the crucial tie-break, Yang Jian’s shot was inaccurate.
For the Sonics, who are empty inside, Yang Jian's shooting rate is less than 50%, which is a fatal blow. Moreover, Yang Jian has to take more shots, and his teammates are not in good condition and cannot stand up.
Lewis became a huge pit, scoring a total of 2 three-pointers in the entire series, shooting 12.7%. His overall shooting rate was only 40%, a pure blacksmith.
Ginobili was also in trouble this time, shooting less than 40% from the field. He only relied on Yang Jian, Billups, and Gerald Wallace to score points and couldn't beat the Suns.
