The interview was not long. Although reporter Peter asked a lot of questions, Yang Jian had some reservations in his answers.

If he wants to get more attention, he still has to prove himself in the NBA regular season. Talking too much in the summer league is useless and may even cause resentment. Because the level of the game is too low, NBA role players can produce gorgeous statistics when they come.

.

The Sonics will hold a press conference in a while, and he will have more thoughts then.

Just like his agent Oldman told him, he cannot be blindly confident. Being drafted is his advantage in a sense. It doesn't matter if he keeps a low profile. If he does well, the media will definitely praise him.

After leaving the arena, the players were free to move around. Snow asked: "What's for dinner? How about going to have something nice to celebrate?"

"We'll eat later. I have to go back to the hotel and take a shower first. Don't you need to take a shower?" Yang Jian shook his neck.

"No one takes a shower every time after playing ball. Can't you just do it before going to bed?"

"You smell like sweat, aren't you embarrassed?" Yang Jian insisted on going back to the hotel first. The training hall did not provide hot water for bathing today, which was not a good arrangement by the organizer.

"Is it necessary to live so carefully? We are not celebrities." Snow felt that it was a bit effeminate to do this. It is normal for a rough man not to take a shower for a week, and he does not feel uncomfortable.

Yang Jian doesn't find it troublesome. "My goal is to become a star and develop the habit of maintaining a good image. I suggest you do the same if you want to sign a big contract in the future."

In the 1990s, when NBA players were not playing, most of them wore hip-hop attire to participate in various activities. In the future, players will almost always wear suits to appear in public, turning the NBA into a fashion show.

Yang Jian is not a black man and cannot understand the hip-pop aesthetic of black people. He plans to dress like a Hollywood entertainment star. If a Chinese wants to become a superstar or even dominate the league, he must be a high-quality idol.

David Stern's urine quality will probably suppress international players, and he doesn't want to give the opponent an excuse. Stern once praised Iverson, but later stopped. This is directly related to Iverson's hip-hop streetwear.

.From the "clothes ban" to "zero tolerance," every one of Stern's policies targets the little man from Philadelphia.

After returning to the hotel, Yang Jian immediately went into the bathroom to take a shower.

In an undisturbed environment, he called up the system panel and checked the extracted skills.

The panel was incorporeal, so he didn't have to worry about being short-circuited by water. This thing seemed to be implanted in his mind, and it was with his spirit.

There is an additional "Iron-Blooded Jumper" in the skill column, with a text introduction: "In a parallel world, Garnett's career assist rate is greater than 60%, which is inseparable from his high field goal rate when catching the ball.

Yelling loudly after scoring a wonderful goal can slightly increase the hit rate of catch-and-shoot jump shots. It must be a mid-range shot, not a three-pointer."

Yang Jian was stunned and felt more and more that this was not a serious system. "So, the key to Garnett's accurate jump shot is to roar often? This can not only improve morale, but also make opponents mistakenly think that he will often dribble the ball into the basket.

He dunked and then pulled up and made a mid-range shot."

"I thought it was a skill like shooting bag, which requires a lot of time to practice, but it turned out to be a skill based on the law of cause and effect!"

Yang Jian felt that this skill couldn't be better. He didn't need to practice shouting after scoring a goal. If he had to practice, he also practiced his voice. What's the difficulty? This is indeed a hard-core thing, as long as his scream doesn't look like an orange-caramel combination.

If it is a shooting package skill, Yang Jian will have a headache. Garnett's shooting posture is not suitable for him at all, and he must have a height advantage.

Garnett's shooting point is very high. He basically raises his hands above his head and leans back a little. He is rarely blocked. However, his shooting speed is not fast. If the defender stays in the air and then shoots like him, it will be a disaster. I'm looking for a hat.

"It's too vague to know how much a slight improvement is. If it's 5%, it's a truly magical skill." Yang Jian thought to himself.

A 5% hit rate may seem like a small amount, but in fact the increase is large enough to determine the outcome of a tense game.

If Yang Jian passes training and his normal mid-range shooting percentage in the game is 40%, plus 5%, he will be promoted from an ordinary mid-range scorer to an elite. You know, Tracy McGrady, who is called "unsolvable" by many Chinese fans, His career field goal percentage is only 40%.

If his normal mid-range shooting percentage reaches 45%, plus 5%, he will be more accurate than Jordan, Nowitzki, and Durant, and he will become the most accurate mid-range player in NBA history.

It’s a pity that it’s not a three-pointer. In this era, a player’s three-point shooting percentage reaches 40%, which is an amazing statistic. Klay Thompson, the future Warriors star who is known for his off-ball style, did not average three-point shooting percentage per game in his peak season. Reached 45%.

Yang Jian plans to try out the effects of his skills in the next game. From now on, he will be the representative of the iron-blooded outside line.

The attribute points he obtained were added to "Spirit" without thinking about it. It would have been impossible not to add them. After adding them, his mental attribute was only 19, and he was still evaluated as "junk" by the system.

After Yang Jian came out of the bathroom, Snow only took three minutes to take a shower, and then the two of them went to a nearby steakhouse for dinner.

After dinner, they returned to the hotel and watched the classic movie "Some Like It Hot" together. You may not believe it, but in this comedy, Monroe's beauty was defeated by two men.

When he saw the two male protagonists disguising themselves as women and joining the girl band, Snow laughed: "Goose goose goose goose..."

Seeing the male protagonist Jerry being entangled by a rich man who didn't know he was a man, Snow laughed miserably. "Goose goose goose goose..."

Snow's laughter was so low that he almost burst out laughing many times. "Goose goose goose goose..."

Yang Jian didn't laugh while watching the movie, but was amused by Snow. "Are you a goose? Am I teammate with a goose?"

The result of watching a movie together this time was that after Yang Jian fell asleep at night, Snow's devilish laughter seemed to echo in her ears.

The team trained the next day, and everyone greeted Yang Jian and Snow cordially.

Their status in the team is different. Yang Jian is the coach's focus and has a bright future. Snow is a selfless point guard who is responsible for distributing the ball. If you have a good relationship with him, you can take more shots.

When Yang Jian asked, he found out that the reporter also interviewed coach Bob Weiss and asked some questions about Yang Jian. Weiss praised him fiercely, saying that he was the biggest surprise for the Sonics this summer.

Weiss is one of the most famous assistant coaches in the NBA, and his words are very weighty. The coach praised Yang Jian in this way, and the reporter was convinced that Yang Jian would definitely stay with the SuperSonics, and it was safe for the Chinese to land in the NBA.

The Salt Lake City Times devoted half a page to reporting on the SuperSonics' victory over the Timberwolves, and included a photo of Yang Jian completing a back-bar dunk, which was quite clear. The title was - "Chinese International Students Shine in the Salt Lake City Summer League."

"Yang Jian, a Chinese international student who loves basketball, took a break from Harvard University to pursue his basketball dream and participated in this year's NBA draft. After losing the draft, he represented the SuperSonics in the summer league and became an instant success! The performance of this young Chinese man completely surpassed the Timberwolves' debut.

Garnett, the No. 5 pick in the first round..."

Yang Jian took the newspaper and read it for a while. The news didn't just talk about him, but compared the two numbers 21.

Every time there is a draft, the big-name rookies who have just entered the league will always be discussed and evaluated from all sides. This "continuous attention" will last for three years or even longer.

Most college players are more mature and more adaptable than high school players. Before 1995, for the few players who entered the NBA from high school, there were too few successful ones. Many people are waiting to see Garnett's joke. If he

Being able to overcome doubts and become a star is also a great story.

Introducing Yang Jian, the media questioned the Harvard University basketball team. A Chinese international student with the ability to play in the NBA and amazing physical fitness was not the core of the weak Harvard basketball team, averaging less than 10 points per game. He did not want to

Talking about college, but something unpleasant must have happened.

Compared with the No. 1 high school player in the United States, Yang Jian's story is undoubtedly more eye-catching. Professional basketball in Asia has just started, and he has come to play in the NBA. He can be called a great pioneer!

After reading the news, Yang Jian felt extremely happy. Garnett was simply his lucky star. He extracted a skill from the opponent, gained an attribute point, and was in the newspaper for the first time in his life. If he hadn't been compared with Garnett, he would have been

No matter how good you play, there may not be media attention.
