Chapter 23 [Let’s Roar Together]

Snow found a new movie this time, a science fiction comedy "Tank Girl" that Yang Jian had never heard of. Snow said that it was just released this year, so you can watch it freshly without going to a theater.

The background of the movie is an apocalypse where there is extreme water shortage. The heroine is an unconventional blonde girl who looks like Gwen Stefani and has a personality like Harley Quinn.

What surprised Yang Jian was that the second female lead was played by Naomi Watts. This is a late-blooming blonde star who became famous starring in David Lynch's masterpiece "Mulholland Drive" and later starred in the science fiction blockbuster "King Kong" directed by Peter Jackson. In this movie, she dyes her hair black and wears a pair of glasses. At first glance, she looks like Harry Potter.

The heroine helped the second heroine drive away the security guard who was harassing her, and even kissed her and said, "This is my girlfriend."

Boy, this movie immediately went up a notch.

The villain's base was attacked, Naomi got a plane, and the heroine also got a tank. Naomi accidentally bumped into the barrel of a tank, and then the camera went out of focus, and the screen turned into "Mulholland Drive". This shows that she and that movie are destined to be together.

Snow, who had a very low sense of humor, was saying "goose, goose, goose, goose" on the side, and Yang Jian couldn't help laughing either.

But their laughter is different. Snow thought this movie was quite interesting, and Yang Jian felt that she had watched a live-action version of "Shuke and Beta". It was a sentiment.

This film is definitely Naomi's dark history. Whoever needs our help, just call Shuke Beta, Shuke who flies the plane, Shuke who loves to work...

As the plot unfolds, the movie's mind-numbing plots emerge one after another, such as an inexplicable musical song and dance. While these people were raping Broadway like crazy, the supporting actress who had just been found by the heroine was kidnapped by the villain again.

Another example is that when the heroine is driving a tank and PKing with the enemy, she is still grilling hot dogs with one hand. This is all nonsense.

The final battle was even more inexplicable. After the villain BOSS was injured, he cut off his own head and replaced it with a virtual head, but he was still alive. Moreover, under the background of extreme water shortage, this villain decided to drown the kidnapped supporting girl in water.

After the not-so-exciting action scene, the heroine killed the villain BOSS and kissed a kangaroo man. From then on, one person and one animal lived a life without shame.

This shit would be damned if it had a box office, the only way to make some money would be to air it on TV and sell videos. If you don't buy a ticket and go to the theater, it's quite fun to complain while watching it.

The next day, the Sonics played back-to-back games against the Washington Bullets, formerly the Wizards.

Yang Jian performed various dunks in training in the morning, and returned to his best condition after sleeping. Top physical fitness also includes recovery ability. Even if he plays the whole game, there is no pressure. It is too easy for him to play less than 30 minutes in each game. In the first two games, he had no chance to play more. The team led too much and entered garbage time early.

This game was very intense. The Bullets defended the penalty area very tightly and their offense was equally good. Players shot inside and outside, leading the Sonics by 14 points in the first half.

The Bullets players actively engaged in fast breaks, taking advantage of the Sonics' inside players' slow return to defense. Almost all of the Sonics' big men are slow-moving white muscular men. They can fight against people in positional warfare, but they cannot guarantee the speed of retreat.

Point guard Chris Whitney, who is 183cm tall, beat Snow, scoring 20 points in the first half and hitting 4 three-pointers. Snow faced a defender with such speed and shooting ability, and it was very difficult to defend.

In the second half, Bob Weiss adjusted his tactics and instead of letting Snow sit on the bench, he asked him to guard shooting guard Michael Curry. Yang Jian is responsible for defending point guard Whitney. Not only is it not difficult for a big player to defend a small player, but he also has an advantage in speed.

Weiss also put Byron Houston, who is 196cm tall and weighs 113kg, at the 4th position, and Scheffler, who is actually 203cm tall, plays center. This small lineup can compete with opponents and fight for fast breaks.

After the team speeded up, Yang Jian's performance became more eye-catching. He hit consecutive mid-range shots, two tomahawk dunks and an alley-oop two-handed dunk in the counterattack.

If Whitney faced Yang Jian, he could only use a foul to stop him from moving forward. Michael Curry and a swingman with a tongue-in-cheek name can't be guarded either. His speed is unmatched by anyone, and it is difficult for opponents to defend him when running, catching and shooting in positional battles.

Yang simply scored 17 points in the quarter and led the Sonics to a 16-2 run in the third quarter to catch up with the score.

The Bullets still couldn't defend themselves in the final quarter, and the Sonics quickly overtook the score and led by 10 points before the end of the game with 5 minutes left.

At this time, Bullets power forward Rasheed Wallace became angry. He yelled at the referee after a missed hit, thinking that Frank's thug guarding him had committed a foul.

The referee called Rashid a technical foul, and Yang Jian received an attribute point.

"The host witnessed history. Star player Rasheed Wallace yelled at the referee for a technical foul for the first time in the NBA and received 1 attribute point."

This time the system did not extract skills. Yang Jian realized that the extraction was random and it was not the first time that he witnessed the history of a star and it was definitely triggered. The good news is that although each star player can only draw skills once, there will be opportunities in the future if you miss this time.

Yang Jian is very satisfied if he can get an attribute point, because it is not uncommon for No. 4 rookie Rasheed to yell at the referee.

In the parallel world, Rasheed is the king of technical fouls in the NBA and is nicknamed the "Roaring King". In the 1997-98 season, Rasheed received an unprecedented 38 technical fouls. In the 1998-99 season, Wallace broke his own record with 40 technical fouls.

In 2003, he was also suspended for seven games by the league for threatening Tim Donaghy (later the goalkeeper), the longest suspension in history for non-violent reasons.

Because he has too many technical fouls and can yell more than Garnett, many people think Rasheed is a super tough guy. In fact, this guy is as good at jump shots as Garnett, and his offense at the basket is very low. Rasheed is softer than Garnett. In his peak season, he averaged 4.3 free throws and 8.2 rebounds per game, all of which he achieved while playing 37.5 minutes.

Today, Yang Jian and Rashid were shouting and shouting in various ways on the court. It was difficult not to attract attention. Rashid found out that there was someone who could yell better than him, and felt inexplicably irritated.

In the end, Rashid Roar lost and the game was lost. 105 to 98, the SuperSonics won three consecutive victories.

Yang Jian played 35 minutes, making 13 of 20 shots, 7 of 8 free throws, and scored 33 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks, and 1 steal. He had four dunks and made 7 of 13 field goals. He failed to make a three-pointer in two consecutive games and missed one shot from the corner.

Weiss allowed Yang Jian to take more shots. When the score couldn't be opened, the team needed someone to step up and shoulder the heavy responsibility, and he was obviously the most reliable one. After Yang Jian acquired the skill, he became very determined in his attacks, and the coach could see that he had become stronger.

Weiss plans to discuss with head coach George Karl to let Yang Jian directly start the new season, believing that he has the ability.

Yang Jian himself thinks so. His shooting touch is not as good as Hawkins, but his effect on the court may not be as good as his opponent's. Because he has a stronger ability to get rid of defenses and is more likely to get good shooting opportunities. Defensively, he is also much tougher than Hawkins.

The points obtained by Yang Jian were naturally added to the weakest mental attribute, reaching 21.

It's not like he never thought about adding basketball skills or shooting accuracy, but after thinking about it, he felt it was a bit unreliable.

There is no reason why his skills suddenly improved. Without actual training and solid basic skills, how good would his dribbling skills be? If he adds a little bit and still needs some time to adapt, why not practice it yourself?

The higher the skill, the harder it is to improve. When he encounters a bottleneck, if he breaks through the bottleneck by adding points, the points will be well spent.

After three consecutive victories, the famous TV station ESPN was ready to send reporters to interview Yang Jian. He is the best player in the Salt Lake City Summer League, scoring more points every game and seems to be getting stronger.

Many people want to know why he was so good that he was undrafted, and why he didn't have the ball at Harvard before. In previous interviews, Yang Jian resolutely refused to talk about her time in China, nor did she say anything bad about the Harvard basketball coach. The more he doesn't say anything, the more mysterious people think he is.

Other teams began to envy the Sonics, and a player with amazing talent was picked up. Even if Yang Jian does not have such strong offensive power, he is worth cultivating. His physical fitness has the potential to become a super defensive player.

The fact that the Sonics have signed Yang Jian was exposed by the media. When the summer league ends, the Sonics are preparing to hold a press conference for him.

This is the first time in history that a Chinese player has joined an NBA team. Many media in the United States reported this matter, and the news finally reached China...
