I feel hot in the NBA

Chapter 135 Smoke bombs

The Mavericks will continue their next schedule with two consecutive home games, the first against the Kings and the second against the Bucks. Neither of these teams is considered a strong team, but for the Mavericks' guard line, it is a great challenge. In these two teams, the Kings have last year's "Best Rookie" Evans, and the Bucks have "the youngest Mr. 55 points" Jennings, both of whom are currently in the limelight.

Lin Yang, who currently has the best expression among the 2010 rookies, can be regarded as the only thing left to watch in these two games, whether he can continue to perform well against these two of last year's best rookies.

Of course, there is one more thing to watch in the battle against the Kings, that is, the No. 26 pick in the first round will meet Cousins, the No. 5 pick in the first round. Although Cousins’s exposure in front of the media is not as good as Lin Yang’s recently, he is also one of the early rookies in the 2010 class. After the inspection, they decided that the future of the Kings will be built around Cousins ​​and Evans. These two rookies are indeed outstanding. Evans was the "Rookie of the Year" last year. Cousins ​​is currently one of the best big men in the 2010 class. Especially his offensive skills have reached the NBA level. He only needs a few games to accumulate experience. This guy can definitely become one of the best insiders in the league.

It can also be seen from this game that the two newcomers Cousins ​​and Evans formed a dual-core inside and outside line that performed well, and they all had a greater or lesser impact on this game through their respective abilities.

Cousins ​​scored 18 points and 7 rebounds after the game, while Evans scored 23 points and 7 assists in this game.

The two scored 41 points in total!
Facing the Mavericks, Gemini can get 40 plus, which shows how high the potential of these two guys is.

However, the Geminis played well, and the Kings still lost 15 points. There was nothing they could do about it. Except for Evans and Cousins, the Kings' other positions were really poor, especially compared with players in these positions of the Mavericks.

In addition, the king's twin stars played well in this game. The main force of the Mavericks also performed their duties and played their usual performance. Dirk Nowitzki clocked in three quarters and still scored 25 points and 7 rebounds. won.

And after the game, Evans, who was the "best rookie" of last season, also praised Lin Yang a lot when talking about Lin Yang: "This guy is very mature. He doesn't look like a rookie at all. He knows when and what he is doing. He doesn't have great physical fitness, but his strength is not inferior to Blake Griffin and John Wall. His name should appear in the best rookie candidate list!"

In Evans' view, Lin Yang's superiority is not the kind of amazing physical fitness like theirs, which can be seen in just one round. Lin Yang is more like a glass of red wine. If you want to understand his full abilities, you need to drink slowly. The more you taste, the more you will be full of praise for Lin Yang!

Coincidentally, after the next home game between the Mavericks and the Bucks, Jennings also expressed his recognition of Lin Yang's strength: "Lin is the kind of guy who can help the team when he stands on the court. He is special, especially when he stays on the court for more than 3 minutes, you will find that this guy makes contributions all the time!"

Jennings is not a good stumbler. As early as last year's draft, he directly ran against the "golden boy" Rubio. He thought he was better than the latter, and Rubio was better than him only because he was more famous!

Of course, just looking at the rookie seasons of the two, he is indeed better than Rubio.

However, it can also be seen that Jennings is very confident in himself, and it is not easy to get his approval!

More importantly, when Stephen A. Smith evaluated Lin Yang before, the object of comparison was Jennings. Although Jennings himself did not express any opinions on this matter at the time, there were some comparisons between him and Lin Yang at that time.

也难怪詹宁斯会对林阳印象深刻，他在本场比赛拿到了18分6助攻3篮板，这几项大数据都低于林阳的24分9助攻6篮板。

Losing the game and losing the data, he can't say that Lin Yang can't do it no matter what~

"Lin Yang's big explosion, now who dares to say that he is not qualified to win the best rookie! "

The match between the Mavericks and the Bucks is not the highlight of today's game. The strength gap between the two teams is too great. Even if the Mavericks let a Jason Kidd, this gap still exists!

Compared with this game, today's Heat vs. Lakers and Thunder vs. Bulls are very eye-catching focus games.

But ESPN's headline today reported Lin Yang!
"This guy is really fierce, especially after entering December, he can score 12 points, 23.85 assists and 9.7 rebounds per game. This is already a data that can only be obtained by a star No. 4.3. In addition, his three-point shooting rate is astonishing. 68%! Such a terrifying shooting rate is still based on the fact that he can hit 3.3 three-pointers per game!"

"Especially after he became the starting point guard of the Mavericks, we were surprised to find that this newcomer's performance did not change due to the increase in playing time, and he still contributed so steadily!"

"How should we evaluate this rookie more fairly? Perhaps it can be said that when we marvel at John Wall's talent visible to the naked eye in every dribble and are shocked by Griffin's violent dunks, we should also look at Lin. Maybe his physical fitness looks mediocre, but his strength is no worse than these two favorites of heaven!"

"Lin is the biggest dark horse in the draft this summer, and his performance is good enough to compete for the best rookie!"

"If Lin becomes the final rookie of the year, he will break two NBA records - the first rookie of the year from China in NBA history, and the person with the lowest pick of the rookie of the NBA!"

Originally, the player who received the lowest pick of the "Best Rookie" in NBA history was Mark Jackson in 1987. He was the 18th pick in the first round of that year.

Once Lin Yang succeeds, he will replace Mark Jackson and become the player with the lowest pick in NBA history to win the "Best Rookie".

This headline report released by ESPN naturally aroused huge discussions, especially the two records that Lin Yang would break if he won the "Best Rookie" were the focus of discussion:
"To be honest, Lin's performance is enough to attract attention, he has the qualifications to hit the best rookie!"

"I think I'd be even more surprised if Lin's name wasn't included in December's Rookie of the Month!"

"Compared to Blake Griffin and John Wall, Lin Yang's performance is really surprising, especially in the last few games, I really don't think Blake and John can be better than Lin!"

Many fans were unknowingly overwhelmed by Lin Yang's performance, and became more and more optimistic about Lin Yang to compete for the final "Best Rookie Award" this season.

Besides, Lin Yang in December is really no worse than those two guys!

***
"Lin, many people think that you have the ability to compete for the best rookie. What do you think of the best rookie? Do you think you have the ability to win this award?"

On the daily training day after playing the Kings, Lin Yang was interviewed as usual, and the first question was about the "Best Rookie Award".

Lin Yang was silent a bit, organized a bit of speech in his mind, and said, "Every rookie has a certain expectation for the best rookie. After all, this at least proves that at this stage of the league, I am better than the guys in the same session. It's enough to get the best rookie, so even if I didn't get that trophy in the end, I would not be disappointed. At least in my opinion, I am the best one! "

"Judgment is not only what others think of you, but also what you think of yourself, and sometimes, what you think of yourself is far more important than what other people think of you!"

After Lin Yang finished speaking, the reporters were stunned. The original Lin Yang was impeccable in his speech, unlike a rookie. Now Lin Yang showed more and more self-confidence as his performance became better and better. This made the reporters a little confused. This guy was originally so confident, but he became more confident because of the influence of this alliance!

"Then Lin, you will go to San Antonio for the next game to challenge the Spurs away. You don't know this upcoming tough game, will you continue to start?"

A reporter asked the second question. This question is related to the Mavericks' opponent in the next game. They will go away to challenge the San Antonio Spurs!

For the Spurs who gave them their first defeat, this game is a tough battle that must be carefully prepared for the Mavericks.

When Jason Kidd was injured, the Mavericks reported that he was injured for two weeks. Now that the time for two tables has passed, whether Jason Kidd will play in this tough game has become a focus of attention for many reporters before the game!

In addition, after the last game lost to the Spurs, many voices believed that if Rick Carlisle hadn't taken Lin Yang down at the last moment, Manu Ginobili had hit a key goal and the Mavericks would have lost the game.

That is to say, if Lin Yang is on the court, the Spurs may not win this game, because Lin Yang's defense against Ginobili was quite successful in that game, limiting the latter's shooting rate to about 30%. For Manu Ginobili, this shooting rate is really bad.

So whether Lin Yang will start or come off the bench in this game is also a very important thing for these reporters!

"Sorry, I really don't know the arrangement of Carlisle's head coach. This is not something I should care about. Whether it is a starter or a substitute, what I should do is to try my best to do what I should do when the head coach sends me on the field!"

Lin Yang didn't give a clear promise. He actually knew that he would return to the bench in the next game against the Spurs, but this kind of thing really couldn't get out of his mouth. Not only did Rick Carlisle repeatedly emphasize, but also the basic quality of a player. There are many things that don't need to be known by the media, unless they intend to let others know!

"Jason's injury has indeed recovered almost, but at the moment I'm not sure whether Jason can play. To be honest, I haven't discussed this matter with the team doctor or Jason himself. I can only say that I will be surprised if Jason appears on the field!"

Lin Yang didn't ask any relevant information, so these reporters went to ask Rick Carlisle the same question, but who is Rick Carlisle?The guy who has always regarded Popovich as an idol should not be too good at playing this kind of smoke bomb!A few words gave a vague answer: Kidd may play, and he may not play!

Giving such a smoke bomb before the game can definitely disrupt the opponent's arrangement, even if it is Popovich, that is no exception, especially the Mavericks, who may or may not be able to play, is one of the core players of the Mavericks Jason Kidd!

How much time this guy will play, whether he will start, whether he should be deployed against him...these are still factors that need to be considered.

It can also be seen from this how heavy the workload of a head coach is, especially when the main injured players of the opponent team may come back, how to emphasize the key points, and what arrangements may become useless. These need to be carefully considered.

"The Mavericks have always been tough, and the current state of this team is also very good. Whether Jason will come back or not, they will be a difficult team to deal with. Of course, we are not weak either, and we are well prepared to deal with this game. No matter what happens, we will not be surprised. I believe in Greg, and I also believe in my teammates!"

However, Tim Duncan is not entangled in this issue. In his opinion, whether Kidd returns or not, it is impossible for the Spurs to panic. This team has never missed the playoffs since he entered the league. The team has faced too many bad situations, and now their accumulated experience is enough for them to deal with any situation.
