That night, the Sonics players flew to Toronto. After a day off, they played against the underdog Raptors on the night of the 13th.

This game was only broadcast live on local channels, and people felt that there was a huge disparity in strength between the two teams and there wouldn't be much to watch.

The Raptors are one of the worst teams in the league. There are no big-name stars. The players only know how to collect statistics and collectively fail on the defensive end.

Yang Jian knows that the Raptors are even worse than the parallel world. Because the Raptors did not draft power forward Chris Bosh, they focused on cultivating the middling forward Marvin Williams. The Raptors' starting center,

It’s Andris Biedrins who is worse at free throws than Ben Wallace.

Such a center would be focused on training. The Raptors coaching staff is simply too weird. Biedrins is a 24k pure blue collar who can't score in any other position except at the basket.

The team's leading stars are Jaylen Rose and Mike James. Their only goal is to produce good data and strive to leave the Raptors and get a big contract with another team.

Their wish cannot be realized because all the team managers know that they are data brushers, it is too obvious. Moreover, these two people have no commercial value, so what is the use of signing them?

If these two were playing for the SuperSonics, they would only be able to play as a substitute. Even Mike James couldn't even play as a substitute. He has the body of a point guard and the soul of a shooting guard. He needs the ball.

After the game started, something unexpected happened. The Raptors actually overpowered the SuperSonics.

In the first quarter, the Raptors went wild from beyond the three-point line. The team scored 10 three-pointers and led the SuperSonics by 13 points, 44-31.

Except for Yang Jian, none of the SuperSonics players felt good. Yang Jian scored 20 points in the quarter, but the team was still lagging behind.

The Raptors players are very happy. If they can defeat the SuperSonics in the regular season, their exposure will be greatly increased, and this season will not be in vain.

Back then, "Little Flying Squirrel" Damon Stoudamire's record with the Raptors was a mess. Just because he defeated the Bulls twice, defeated Jordan, and got a big contract.

Yang Jian felt that this scene seemed familiar. It was suitable for scoring high points. It was metaphysics. The Raptors players exploded at the beginning, while the SuperSonics looked like the Lakers in a parallel world.

The team is lagging behind, but Yang Jian is not anxious at all, and plans to let off steam on the defensive end. He knows very well that it is easy to rack up statistics against the Raptors, and today is a great opportunity to create a new milestone.

After coming off the field, Yang Jian immediately talked to coach George Karl. "George, I want to try my best to play the entire game today. Don't let me rest in the second quarter."

George Karl asked: "Why?"

Yang Jian smiled and said: "My hands are hot today and I want to play a high-scoring game. Just relax and pass the ball on the court and cooperate with me. I will treat you to a big dinner tomorrow."

He did not lower his voice deliberately, and his teammates heard it. But no one thought that Yang Jian had exceeded his authority, and George Karl didn't care, and immediately arranged tactics and lineups suitable for Yang Jian's attack.

The lineup for the second quarter is Steve Blake, Yang Jian, Kyle Korver, Boris Diaw, and Kendrick Perkins.

Turkoglu, who had rested for a while, and David Lee, who usually played in the second quarter, did not play. The team did not need them to attack with the ball. Diaw can organize the offense from the outside, and the two outside players have good three-pointers.

The ability to score can attract defense.

Korver proved last season that he is accurate and cannot be left open. Blake has a three-point deficit but is a good organizer and can pass the ball to Yang Jian.

Players from both sides appeared, the Raptors five players: Jose Calderon, Juan Dixon, Posjan Nahba, Matt Bonner, and Charlie Villanueva.

The common characteristic of the Raptors' bench players is poor defense, which is all about strong offense and weak defense. Coach Sam Mitchell did not expect that Yang Jian would continue to play without rest. He usually only does this in the playoffs. It's not because he has no physical strength.

Not necessary.

The SuperSonics attacked first, Blake dribbled to the frontcourt and passed the ball to Diaw who was in the high post.

Pulling the power forward to the outside to get the ball and organize the offense is a key drill for the Sonics. Both Turkoglu and Diaw can do this job well. At this time, Yang Jian ran without the ball to get the ball on the weak side, and only the opponent's center could cover it.

The clip will also free up the basket.

Yang Jian stood in the right corner and ran 70 degrees under the cover of Perkins.

Villanueva was probably thinking about how to kill Fang Shiyu and become the chief helmsman of the Red Flower Club. He was distracted and had no intention of changing defense. He stood on the 45-degree penalty area line. Yang Jian caught the ball, half-turned and shot a three-pointer in one go.

, Dixon, who was chasing after him, had no time to take off.

Yang Jian's shot this time was almost open, and the ball went hollow into the net. 34 to 44.

Juan Dixon is a shooting guard who is 191cm tall and weighs 75kg. His confrontation ability is extremely poor. He relies on flexibility to play. If he is blocked, he will be slow to pursue.

Perkins was nicknamed "Two Fat" because of his high quality of cover due to his size. In a parallel world, although Perkins was a blue-collar worker until he retired, the outside players who worked with him all spoke highly of him, mainly because of his high quality.

Because of his penalty area defense and cover ability.

When the Raptors attacked, Yang Jian let Dixon go two meters away without guarding him. He huddled near the penalty area and prepared to grab rebounds.

Dixon received the ball at 60 degrees on the left side and got an open space, and made a three-pointer. 34 to 47.

TV5 broadcast the game live, commentator Zhang Lili sighed: "The Raptors scored 44 points in the first quarter, and Yang Jian dared to let his opponent shoot like this. He really doesn't take the Raptors seriously."

Partner Yu Jia said: "Yang Jian has always liked to compete offensively with others to win. I guess he is not afraid of the Raptors taking the lead, but afraid that the Raptors will lose too quickly. In the last game, the two teams scored a lot, and he was in a good mood even if he lost to the Wizards.

, I think he can still average 40 points per game this season."

Zhang Liji said: "When he defends seriously, he can defend against people half a head taller than him. Generally, he only takes it seriously in the playoffs. When we watched the game, he started running without the ball again."

The SuperSonics attacked and repeated the previous tactics. Yang Jian caught the ball at a 70-degree angle on the right and shot a three-point jumper. Dixon jumped to chase the ball, but failed to cover it.

Yang Jian knew that the opponent's talent was incomparable to his own, so he shot very calmly and the ball hit the net hollowly. 37 to 47.

Zhang Lijia shouted: "Good shot, this is Yang Jian's fourth three-pointer today. He has already scored 26 points."

Yu Jia laughed and said: "He seems to be at 40 pace at halftime again. The Raptors coach has no intention of adjusting yet, how can the substitute guard Yang Jian?"

Chinese fans all hope that the Raptors will adjust their lineup later, and Yang Jian is now scoring as much as he can against the bench.

The Raptors attacked, and Calderon passed the ball to Dixon after halftime.

Calderon is a Spanish heavy-weight point guard who entered the NBA in the undraft. He is 191cm tall and weighs 95kg. The Raptors signed him to fill the gap left by street ball king Alston. He has good abilities, but he didn't dare to do much when he first arrived.

Fighting, very low-key.

Dickerson took the ball from outside and hesitated for a moment before shooting a three-pointer. This time the ball missed the basket. He is not a shooter, and he averages less than one three-pointer per game, but when he gets this kind of open opportunity, he can't

Don't vote.

It is very demoralizing for outside players to dare not shoot when they are open. Dixon is still an offensive player. Faced with Yang Jian's aggression, Dixon is the one who is under pressure.

Diaw grabbed the rebound in the backcourt and took a step to pass the ball to Yang Jian. Yang Jian caught the ball in the midfield and made a fast break. He relied on Dixon to force a breakthrough and succeeded. Diaw was hit and his center of gravity was unstable and he reached out for a foul.

They were all half a beat too slow.

The only two white players that the Raptors quickly defended were Bonner and Nahba. Nahba was lured away by Korver and could not double-team, while "Red Mamba" Bonner retreated relatively far, fearing that he would be passed.

.

Yang Jian had the speed advantage but did not drive inside. He stopped outside the left three-point line and shot a three-pointer. Dixon chased from behind but was unable to block the shot.

This time Yang Jian also shot very easily and scored cleanly. 40 to 47, his 29th point.

Yang Jian made three consecutive three-pointers, but Raptors coach Mitchell did not ask for a timeout. He and assistant coach Jay Triano discussed how to win the game, and the two believed that the best strategy was to let Yang

One-on-one, no double-teaming.

This coaching staff has so much confidence in the substitutes that none of the super defensive players in the league are willing to play one-on-one with Yang Jian.
