I feel hot in the NBA

Chapter 151 ESPN coverage

From the performance and enthusiasm on the court, it can be seen that Griffin is really fighting this game!

He was not very active on the defensive end, but he completed two blocked shots for the first time in this game. You must know that before this game, his average blocked shots per game was only 0.5, and it is rare to complete 2 blocked shots. It proved the enthusiasm of the players on the defensive end of the game.

In addition to the defensive end, Griffin is also as strong as ever on the offensive end. He scored 23 points in the game, but this time he scored this score. He took 21 shots and his shooting percentage was only 43%, which was a full 7% lower than his usual shooting percentage!

Of course, this can’t be blamed on Griffin. He really had a hard time in this game. The Mavericks defended him like a meat grinder. From Tyson Chandler to Tim Thomas, Mahinmi and Hayward played in turn, and they all gave this "repeat champion" a good lesson in a close-fitting defensive approach.

It was also because Griffin's offensive performance was sluggish than usual, and the Clippers eventually lost to the Mavericks by 89 to 100, 11 points.

作为本场比赛的另外一个焦点林阳，再一次笑到了最后，而这场比赛林阳出场31分钟，以49%的命中率拿到了22分5篮板9助攻。另外还有2次抢断。

Looking at the data alone, Lin Yang's game was a little better than Griffin's again.

"When Lin Yang's performance on the court becomes more and more stable and Blake's statistical advantage can no longer be reflected, let's compare these two players again. No matter who they are, I'm afraid they can't say that Blake Griffin is the best rookie. Everyone can see that this year's best rookie will not have a final result until the last moment!"

Reggie Miller, who commented on the game, said something in the game that caused heated discussions after the game.

Everyone knows that Reggie Miller predicted that Lin Yang might reach the height of an All-Star player before Lin Yang broke out. Although he is still some distance away from that level, everyone can see that this guy is not far from that level.

Now Reggie Miller is optimistic about Lin Yang again, thinking that the suspense of "best rookie" will not disappear until the last moment, because Lin Yang is already good enough.

Compared with the last time, the number of fans who support Reggie Miller's view this time is significantly more than the number of people who oppose his view. Lin Yang's rampage in December shocked too many fans and made too many people's jaws drop.

Not to the point of defeating the convincing, but if the comparison object is Griffin, many people will start to side with Lin Yang.

"Lin Yang vs. Blake Griffin, the balance of the best rookie is beginning to tilt! "

ESPN also analyzed Griffin and Lin Yang in detail after this game, and predicted their performance in the rest of the season:

"There is no doubt that Blake has fully demonstrated what he is good at in college in the NBA. He has top-notch explosive power, and his upper body strength is better than most of the 4th positions in the league today. In addition, he also has certain back-to-the-basket skills. This is something that is becoming more and more scarce in this league. The best rookie award has lost its suspense!"

"But as the season continued, after Blake was targeted and studied by the coaching staff of various teams, his weaknesses were gradually studied. First of all, Blake Griffin lacked shooting range and left near the basket. Most of the time, he was like a kid who was robbed of a toy and was at a loss. His defenders are mainly defensive breakthroughs, because everyone knows that Blake's finishing method is at the basket!"

"In addition, Blake Griffin's wingspan is much shorter than other players of the same height. His wingspan is very insufficient. This is his shortcoming in talent, and it is also the root cause of his inability to fully display his terrifying explosive power!"

"It is foreseeable that in the next so many games of this season, other teams in the league will become more and more adapted to Griffin's style of play. He may continue to play 20 plus 10 data, but just like today's game, he cannot fundamentally help the team to make better progress."

"Although the selection of the best rookie award has never been compared according to the team's record, this year is likely to be an exception!"

"Lin Yang's data has caught up unconsciously. Compared with Blake Griffin's average of 16.1 points, 4.2 rebounds and 7.8 assists per game, the gap is not that big. If Lin Yang continues to maintain the current pre-event, the gap in statistics between the two will be further narrowed!"

"Data is Blake's only advantage. When this advantage is no longer an advantage, Lin Yang's advantages in all aspects are highlighted!"

"First of all, when he was on the court, the Mavericks averaged as high as 11 points per game. He was the third-ranked player in the Mavericks team, second only to Dirk Nowitzki and Tyson Chandler. This directly proves how much he contributed on the court!"

"In addition, the coaching staff of the entire league knows Lin Yang's weakness and the defenders he fears. On the offensive end, what he fears are defenders with weight and strength. On the defensive end, he is very afraid of attackers with single play ability and strong breakthrough ability. The layout has encountered problems from the very beginning. Not every team can afford to put Lin Yang on the bench! Second, even if Lin Yang meets such an opponent in the starting lineup, the Mavericks still have other players who can contribute and attract defense. Although this is unbelievable, the absolute core of the Mavericks is not Lin Yang. Yang is very strong and can also have an impact on the game, but he is not the absolute core of the Mavericks. If the defense targets him, the game will only lose faster. This is Lin Yang's advantage, but I have to say, this is also Lin Yang's ability!"

"When a player clearly has a disadvantage, and it is obvious but cannot be targeted, this disadvantage is not a disadvantage!"

"In the next season, as long as Lin Yang maintains his current momentum, he is destined to be better than Blake Griffin! As for Blake Griffin, he will gradually be caught up by Lin Yang, or even surpassed! It can be said that the best rookie in December will be a turning point for these two!"

"As we all know, Lin Yang has basically locked up the best rookie in the Western Conference in December!"

According to ESPN's report, the final conclusion is that Lin Yang is more likely to win the final "Best Rookie Award" than Griffin!
