I feel hot in the NBA

Chapter 28 Trust
Livingston actually didn't want to play Lin Yang in the low position. He was only 2 meters tall, and Lin Yang was a little taller than him. His strength was not dominant, and even the speed he needed to survive was at a disadvantage in front of Lin Yang.

But when Larry Brown spoke, he had to listen.

For a player, disobeying the instructions of the head coach, especially a stubborn head coach like Larry Brown, is no different from wanting to sit on the bench. Livingston didn't want to sit on the bench, so he chose to play according to Larry Brown's arrangement.

Although he didn't score, Larry Brown didn't say anything this time, which shows that Livingston's handling of the ball satisfied Larry Brown.

"It's defended, it's a good shot! Lin Yang didn't miss the ball at all!"

Yu Jia of the C5 channel finally shifted his attention from Yi Jianlian, who had nothing to do with this game, to Lin Yang, "From this attack and defense, we can see that Lin Yang has a strong adaptability to NBA-level games! If this is his normal state, then I think he can perform better in the NBA than UAE!"

Hmm... The daily black Ah Lian No. 1 really won't let go of any chance to hate Ah Lian.

"Snapped!"

Tyson Chandler firmly grasped the rebound and gave the ball to Lin Yang, who was in the first position. Lin Yang went to the frontcourt. In order to avoid being defended by Livingston and being unable to protect the ball, he passed the ball to Caron Butler while crossing the center line.

Larry Brown looked at his pass, and tilted his head unconsciously. In his opinion, Lin Yang's pass seemed to be evading something.

Dribbling ability?

Or the ability to play singles with the ball?

Larry Brown hadn't read Lin Yang's profile before the game. Regarding the profile of these rookies, not only the coaching staff of the Bobcats, but also the coaching staff of the entire NBA. Except for those rookies who are the favorites of the sky and who are the core of the team as soon as they enter the league, no other rookies have the capital to make them pay attention from the beginning.

The reason for not paying attention is also very simple. The average rookie can see the strengths and weaknesses of this guy just by watching the offensive and defensive coaches in a few rounds.

For example, now, Lin Yang successfully caught Larry Brown's attention through the previous attack and defense. Under the careful observation of the old coach, he quickly discovered the possible weakness of Lin Yang-this Chinese rookie should not have the ability to play singles with the ball. Even if he has, it is definitely not very outstanding!

The next round can be targeted at this possible weakness.

"Dangdang!"

Caron Butler missed a shot, and the Mavericks still only led by 8 points.

Livingston still played low-post singles in the next round. It wasn't that he had any confidence in Lin Yang's singles after the first trial, but that Larry Brown didn't speak, and he didn't dare to change his style of play easily.

But this time, he scored. The ball bounced on the rim several times, and finally fell into the rim. It was a thrilling shot, but it was a shot!
Livingston also knew that the goal was lucky, and when he returned to the defense, he secretly squeezed his fist, and his pressure was relieved by more than half as the goal progressed.

Lin Yang's expression didn't change. He didn't lose his position. Livingston's goal was a manifestation of his ability. Lin Yang would not question his defense because of this.

The point difference was narrowed to 6 points again.

There are 23.5 seconds left in the first quarter, the time limit for the last attack, and the Mavericks have the ball.

Larry Brown called a timeout at this time, apparently intending to arrange a tactic.

Rick Carlisle faintly sensed something, took Lin Yang off the field, and put Barea in the first position!

The timeout ended and the game restarted. Larry Brown looked at Lin Yang who was replaced, his face turned red with anger. He specially arranged a tactic against Lin Yang, wanting to see his singles ability, but Rick Carlisle took Lin Yang down again at this time, which made his timeout meaningless.

Well, not right!

In this way, I don't need to experiment!
Larry Brown's thinking changed quickly: Doesn't this just show that the Chinese player does have offensive flaws?

"Carlisle replaced Lin Yang at this time, but judging from the process of the game just now, Lin Yang didn't make any mistakes. This shows that this substitution is a tactical substitution. From this we can see that, at least in Carlisle's heart, Lin Yang's offensive ability is not as outstanding as Barea's!"

The two commentators on Sina.com were guessing that the Mavericks also scored the last attack. Barea scored a sudden point and Tyson Chandler dunked at the buzzer, and the score difference returned to 8 points!

"Rick, we can see that you put the NCAA wonder kid very early on, you seem to trust him a lot?"

"This is normal. Doesn't his performance on the court today also show that he is worthy of such trust?"

"But you put Lin down in the last attack, which seems to mean that you don't trust Lin that much either?"

"That was just a tactical arrangement. My trust in Lin cannot be vetoed by that tactical arrangement!"

During the short break, ESPN team reporters asked Rick Carlisle two questions as usual. This time, the questions were all related to Lin Yang. This is not surprising. When Livingston narrowed the score difference continuously, it was Lin Yang's appearance that resolved the rhythm that might make the Bobcats start this time.

"Carlisle was interviewed by an ESPN reporter during the festival. Well, we can hear from the interview that Carlisle trusts Lin Yang very much. We are not wrong. Well, Lin Yang's replacement is indeed just a tactical arrangement. He is likely to continue to appear in the second quarter!"

C5's Yu Jia translated Rick Carlisle's interview answers during the break.

The content he translated made the Huaxia fans who watched the game happy. Lin Yang can continue to play in the next time, which is great for them!
"Lin, you continue to play in the second quarter!"

"it is good!"

Rick Carlisle made Yu Jia's prediction come true quickly, taking Lin Yang on the field early in the second quarter.

Lin Yang, who played again, still failed to make any noise from the Mavericks audience. They were still the same as when Lin Yang played for the first time, without any fluctuations in their hearts, even this time the boos were gone. Judging from Lin Yang's performance in the first quarter, he didn't seem to have made any mistakes. He is a qualified role player.Since there is nothing wrong with Carlisle's arrangement, they naturally don't need to boo!
