Chapter 079
“Haha!”
“Gary, Gary, you have today too?”
Far away in his hotel room in Los Angeles, Jordan laughed.
He got pleasure from the blackface of Peyton’s return to the bench.
This opponent, who has always given him headaches and is very difficult, met a guy who was younger than himself and had unlimited potential tonight, and he was deflated.
He couldn’t help but laugh.
The more ugly Payton was beaten, the happier he became, and even wanted to fly over to see the other person’s ugliness with his own eyes.
He knew that Peyton’s ability was far from being beaten to this point by Yang Ming, obviously, Peyton was a little contemptuous of Yang Ming and did not study it thoroughly.
Yang Ming’s first step, as well as the comprehensive scoring method, is difficult to prevent without studying offensive habits.
Especially Yang Ming, who has just entered the league and has three threats, can score three points, can break through, can pass, and has extremely efficient Yang Ming, it is difficult for anyone to completely limit it alone.
Jordan doesn’t think he can either.
Yang Ming’s talent is really outstanding, and the explosive first step and lightning-fast speed make it impossible to defend.
Once dismissed or unfamiliar, it is normal to be exploded.
In Yang Ming’s first twelve games, there were many opponents who exploded.
Especially on the Raptors, he scored 72 points in a single game, completely bursting the opponent’s backline.
At this time, the league also banned joint defense, which has always been used by international basketball to bring the Dream Team closer to the regional joint defense, which was banned by Stern, and more encouraged you to defend one-on-one.
Without joint defense, what restrictions can be taken to restrict a monster like Yang Ming?
Most likely, I can only hope that he is inaccurate and in poor condition.
If he is still young and his explosiveness is still at his peak, Jordan does not think that he will be limited by Payton, let alone chased all over the field.
And Yang Ming, but still young, although not at the peak, is the most energetic and impactful age.
Jordan saw his younger self entirely in him.
Because of this, he became more and more interested in Yang Ming.
He didn’t expect that when he was old and his peak was about to leave, he would meet such a competitive little guy.
He was aroused to be competitive and couldn’t wait to meet each other.
It’s a pity that there are still two months before their first battle, and they have to wait for a while.
The timeout ended and the two sides returned to the field.
Peyton took a deep breath and stared at Yang Ming coldly, without saying a word.
He felt that his trash talk had no effect on the other party at all, and he simply stopped talking.
Supersonic offense, Sean Kemp finally relied on his strong offensive ability to single Oakley and score.
With his height five centimeters shorter and not at his peak, it was difficult for Oakley to limit him.
Back in front, Oakley picked up inside and passed the ball to Yang Ming, who burst inside. Peyton followed very closely at this time, inseparable, like a tarsal maggot.
However, Yang Ming did not choose himself, and passed the ball in when McIlvain saved the bag.
Ewing catches the ball, takes just one step, and scores easily.
However, today it seems that it is not his yellow, even the empty basket that is unguarded, he actually missed.
Yang Ming sneaked under the basket, grabbed the rebound first, and threw it back to him.
Ewing immediately leaned on the opponent’s center and rolled over to make a jumper.
“Boom!”
Still didn’t go in.
When the rebound was finally snatched by Supersonics, his face was as black as carbon, and he couldn’t see his expression at all.
“Don’t care, it’s us!”
Yang Ming patted his boss and ran away easily.
Comforted by his own little brother, Ewing nodded, took a deep breath, and tried to relax himself.
Since he is not in form, then, concentrate on defense and let Yang handle the attack.
With a plan in mind, Ewing gradually calmed down.
Payton finally scored, he rushed to the basket without the ball, got cover from McIlvain, took Kemp’s shot, and scored a layup.
After winning two points, he finally opened his beard, and he raised an eyebrow at Yang Ming.
Unable to prevent it, Yang Ming was not too upset, and in order not to stimulate him to continue scoring, Yang Ming chose silence.
Starks took possession of the ball over the front court and gave the ball to Yang Ming.
Yang Ming immediately broke through, and he didn’t need to fake it, and he took the first step with explosive power and passed Peyton. When the latter struggled to catch up, he was just within the free throw line when he was cut sideways by his aunt and blocked his progress.
Yang Ming took the opportunity to strike from medium distance.
“Boom!”
This ball missed.
However, as expected, Yang Ming judged the landing point, flew to the basket, snatched the ball from Kemp’s head, and then dunked into the rim.
“Bang!”
This time, the sound is the sound of smashing the ball in.
After Yang Ming lost, he grabbed himself and shocked Kemp.
The latter turned around and looked at Yang Ming, who had flown away after landing, his eyes widened and he looked incredulous.
This kid jumped so high?
He obviously took the lead in the others, who knew that the ball to be in hand was still picked up by the other party, and he was surprised to the extreme.
More importantly, the explosive power embodied by Yang Ming’s buckle, even he had to retreat to avoid being knocked into the air.
Scary rookie!
No wonder he scored 72 points in a single game, becoming the strongest rookie of the year.
It’s not an exaggeration to say he’s a superstar.
Kemp praised secretly.
In the following time, Yang Ming also encountered Peyton’s stubborn resistance, and his offensive efficiency gradually declined. But fortunately, the first quarter ended quickly, and Yang Ming had already been replaced for the break.
At 28:33, the Knicks temporarily led by 5 points.
Yang Ming shot 11 of 16 in the quarter and 2 of 4 from three-point range, scoring 24 points.
The single quarter allowed him to get 24, and Payton’s face darkened again, and he sat on the sidelines depressed, without saying a word.
Returning from the second quarter, Yang Ming continued to strengthen his attack, and Ewing didn’t reach for the ball as if he let him score. Knowing the captain’s thoughts, Yang Ming made a sudden throw, or shot or pass, and scored 15 points again.
In this quarter, Payton’s defense could not be described as imprecise, and even Yang Ming, who was in a no-ball state, was also entangled, forcing the latter to spend more physical strength to throw him off.
Yang Ming, who has been so defensive experience, can receive the ball through repeated virtual shaking, fast swings and feints.
However, because of this, after receiving the ball, he has more space to shoot.
However, his efficiency inevitably dropped, shooting just 6 of 13 in a single quarter, 41 from three-point range and 2 of 3 from the free throw line.
Payton would always be shaken over, revealing a large gap for him.
It’s just that the consumption of physical energy is unprecedentedly large. Even with monster-level physical strength, Yang Ming felt his body gradually getting tired.
Fortunately, it can hold up.
39 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block in the half, which is the stat he got on Payton.
Just after halftime, Payton walked away without looking back.
Yang Ming returned to the dressing room breathlessly, also without saying a word, silently recovering his physical strength.
It is worthy of Payton, and the defense is indeed extraordinary.
The first time he encountered a defensive gate like Payton, Yang Ming had to admire the other party even if he scored nearly 40 points in the half.
