Chapter 18 [Are you ready to be blown away]

The game is about to start, and the starting players of the two teams gathered in the center circle of the stadium.

Cavaliers five: Daryl Johnson, Bob Sura, Donnie Marshall, Joe Courtney, John Amici.

SuperSonics five: Snow, Yang Jian, Sherrel Ford, Frank Brickkowski, Rich King.

Yang Jian feels that the Cavaliers' lineup is far inferior to the Sonics, and the biggest player is Sura. The second most famous player is blue-collar center Amic, because he is the first NBA player to publicly "come out" as a homosexual.

The rest of the Cavaliers may not have played in the NBA, and they were just marginal players. Yang Jian can't remember their names.

The SuperSonics made adjustments today, and Frank, who is good at shooting, became the starting power forward. Frank's tactical role is obviously greater than that of blue-collar muscleman Steve Scheffler, and he can help his teammates open up space during offense.

The SuperSonics management is considering signing veteran Frank, who shares playing time with Sam Perkins and has similar playing styles without having to adjust the main tactics.

Su La glanced disdainfully at Yang Jian beside him, without deliberately lowering his voice, and said provocatively: "You loser, are you ready to be beaten?"

Yang Jian looked at Sura. She had blond hair and blue eyes, and looked very old. He has a small head, a small face, a small jaw, a high forehead and a high nose. At first glance, he looks exactly like 007 Daniel Gregg. It's a pity that Greg hasn't starred as 007 yet, otherwise Sura might gain a lot of fans.

Yang Jian smiled slightly: "I'm ready. Don't be polite. It's best not to pass the ball and just hit me single."

Sura snorted. Well done, the Chinese who lost the election have the guts to be so crazy, you will still be able to laugh after a while.

Although the Cavaliers lost the first game, Sura scored 22 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists. The media did not mention anything about Sura and only used a small page to report the Cavaliers' score.

Sura, who was a "legendary" star in school history in college, felt very unhappy. He believes that his statistics in the last game were better than Yang Jian's, and he must be stronger, and he also had two breakthrough dunks.

Will the media focus on the other party just because he is Chinese? This is not fair!

Shula wouldn't think so if he watched video of the Sonics game. He did score more points than Yang Jian, but he also took twice as many shots, so his efficiency was incomparable.

The referee is a tall black man, and his enforcement actions are clean and neat. He whistled, whistled, entered the circle, and threw the ball in one go, and the game began.

Amici is a black muscular man with a height of 208cm and a weight of 122kg, but his jumping ability and wingspan are very poor. SuperSonics center Rich King is also good on the floor, but has excellent height and wingspan. He passed the ball to Snow with just one jump.

When Yang Jian saw that Rich King had won the ball, he immediately sprinted forward, and Snow's long pass was delivered right after. The two usually coach on fast break coordination, running diagonally, passing comfortably and catching beautifully.

Sura turned around half a beat later and was completely thrown away. It was impossible to catch up. The rest of the knights were also slow to return to defense. None of them expected Yang Jian to be so fast, and he rushed to the basket in the blink of an eye.

The unguarded Yang Jian calculated the distance and jumped high. He took the ball in both hands and circled around. He smashed the ball with his extremely round right hand and scored, 2-0!

"Ah!" Yang Jian clenched his fists and shouted, boosting his morale and adding a BUFF to himself.

His dunk action was very stretched. When he took off, he was far away from the basket and glided for a distance. The stadium was filled with excitement, and many people came just to see this.

"I'm not lying to you, am I? His game is like a dunk contest, and he also has dunks like this on the court!"

"He will definitely be the number one dunker in the NBA next season. Jordan and Wilkins can't compare. They are both old. Kemp may not be able to beat him. He doesn't have many dunk tricks, but he is just fierce."

"It will be exciting to have him participate in next year's slam dunk contest."

Su La was stunned, her confidence began to waver, and she suspected that she was not Yang Jian's opponent. What frightened him was not only Yang Jian's jumping ability, but also his starting speed, which was so explosive.

It was impossible for him to keep up with this speed. He had only seen one person so fast in the NCAA, Georgetown University's first-year freshman Allen Iverson.

The Cavaliers attacked, and Sula reached for the ball after halftime. He provoked the other person, and it would be a shame not to retaliate.

Don't be a coward! Sura's goal changed from destroying Yang Jian to destroying each other with Yang Jian.

Point guard Daryl, born in 1965, was a third-round pick in 1987. He did not receive a contract after being selected by the Warriors. He is 185cm tall and weighs 77kg. He has no advantages except breakthrough. He has been playing in low-level leagues before, but this year he wants to try his luck in the summer league and realize his NBA dream.

Such a person has no sense of presence in the team. The coach cannot let him play casually. When he sees Sura asking for the ball, he passes it to him.

Yang Jian did not stick close to him, but kept a distance to prevent breakthroughs and shots. He didn't feel the need to use close defense against Sura outside the three-point line. In a parallel world, Sura didn't shoot many three-pointers throughout his career.

Sure enough, Sura had room to shoot and instead of shooting, he held the ball and rushed inside. He is 196cm tall and weighs 91kg. He thinks he is as powerful as Yang Jian. Sura's jump shooting ability is average and is not an efficient scoring method. Breakthrough is his strength. If his jump shooting percentage is stable, he will not fall to the 17th pick.

Su La didn't expect to get past Yang Jian with speed, as the opponent was obviously faster than him. He is good at using his body to lean against the opponent, squeezing the opponent so that he cannot jump up and forcing a layup, or attracting help from the defense to score the ball and assist his teammates.

Sura has always been the core player and could crush 90% of the defenders in college with his body. He has an advantage in height. Many shooting guards in college are less than 190cm, and point guards are even shorter.

Unfortunately, Sura's advantage turned into a disadvantage against Yang Jian. Yang Jian followed up easily, and did not move an inch after the physical confrontation. On the contrary, the squeeze caused Su La's center of gravity to shift slightly.

The two are similar in height and weight. Yang Jian was judged by the system to have top physical fitness and was much stronger than Sura. He went to the gym to test, and his core strength was so strong that it surprised the fitness instructor who was 20 kilograms heavier than him.

In terms of controlling balance, stabilizing the center of gravity, and transmitting power, Yang Jian can compete with people who are much heavier than him. He later said that he had practiced kung fu since he was a child and had been practicing martial arts for ten years. Many people definitely believed him.

Sura felt like he had hit a wall. There was a 220cm center standing under the basket. How could he dare to force the shot? After taking three steps, he passed the ball outside. The Cavaliers couldn't open up the formation. After several passes, Marshall beat Frank and missed the jumper. Rich King easily confiscated the rebound.

The Cavaliers players retreated very quickly, and the Sonics fell into position to fight.

Yang Jian stood at the baseline for two seconds. Seeing Richkin pull out, he immediately ran to the top line.

Richkin pulled out to create breakthrough space for his teammates. Scherer broke through with the ball and found that Cavaliers center Amici did not follow. He was trapped in a double-team in the penalty area and was unable to take action, so he transferred the ball and passed it to Yang Jian.

It is the consensus of Sonics players to turn to Yang Jian when they are in trouble, and the coach will never find fault with them.

Yang Jian had a speed advantage and was covered by a big man. He suddenly started to get rid of Sura, and received the ball in the high post and a little to the right, which was a large mid-range shot.

If Yang Jian hadn't acquired the skill "Iron-Blooded Jumper", Yang Jian would not have considered taking a single step inside the three-point line.

One step beyond the big two-pointer is a three-pointer. The shooting rate is not as good as the close-range mid-range shot and low-post singles. It is the least efficient offensive area on the basketball court. The only good thing about this area is that it's easy to get shooting space. Opponent's insiders generally don't save, and most choose to prepare for rebounds near the penalty area.

Under the psychological suggestion of "increasing hit rate", Yang Jian shot faster and more decisively, believing that he could make the shot.

This mentality makes Yang Jian's shooting as relaxed as in training. His movements are very standard, and his shooting point is very high due to his outstanding jumping ability. Even if Sula catches up, it will be difficult to block the shot. If he takes a step slowly, he just stretches out his hand.

Uh-huh! The ball goes hollow into the net. 4 to 0.

"Ah!" Yang Jian shouted again.

He doesn't care, he just shouts when the goal is scored. He must shout for the hit rate. If he only shouts when he dunks, I don't know if BUFF can be added.

Garnett shouted too few times and was a bit low-key. Yang Jian planned to follow Sharapova's lead. Sharapova shouts every time she hits the ball, and every time he scores a goal, it's not too much.

Sura was shocked, feeling like he had provoked a lunatic. It was as if he had been beaten to death at the beginning.

While he was thinking about how to fight, Yang Jian called out. "Come on, you're welcome, aren't you going to blow me up?"

"..." Sura was riding a tiger and couldn't get off.
