I feel hot in the NBA

Chapter 81 I Don't Dare
"Kobe, Lin scored 2 points and 6 assists in the first half. This guy's organizational ability is really amazing. It's hard to imagine that this is a rookie. Do you think his assists will be in double figures today?"

During the halftime break, in the locker room of the visiting team, Phil Jackson sat next to Kobe, chatted a few words and suddenly talked about Lin Yang's performance in the first half, the expression of appreciation was beyond words.

"He won't have it so easy in the second half!"

Kobe took off the earphones on his ears, the sound was not loud, but his expression was very resolute.

"Hehehe~"

Phil Jackson laughed twice and nodded slightly, "I believe we will perform even better in the second half!"

After finishing speaking, Phil Jackson gave Kobe a meaningful look, then stood up and walked away.

Bad old man...

Very bad!
Kobe couldn't hear what Phil Jackson said.

He has become a doctor after a long illness, and he has played for so many years, so he can understand the situation on the court.

The reason why the Lakers were passive in the first half was largely due to the poor defense of the Lakers' No. [-] position against Lin Yang, which gave the latter too much room to play.

This guy Phil praised Lin Yang, but he actually wanted to arouse his competitive spirit and let him defend Lin Yang in the second half.

But this cannot be said directly.

Let the league's No.1 defend a rookie?How can you say this directly?
Definitely oblique hints.

This is precisely what Phil Jackson is good at.

old man!
Kobe muttered again.

Despise you!
But... this rookie was really impressive in the first half, and it's time for him to calm down for a while.

***
The second half of the game began, and the two teams changed places to fight again.

The Mavericks are still in the starting lineup.

Caron Butler's expression didn't change much this time, it was very peaceful.

In the locker room just now, Rick Carlisle specifically asked him to praise him. Since Caron Butler entered the Mavericks, he has not been praised by Rick Carlisle in private. This is a good sign, which shows that Rick Carlisle's impression of him has changed!

Of course, he played really well in the first half today. He made 5 of 4 shots on the offensive end, and he didn't let the opponent get too many points on the defensive end. When he was on the court, the Mavericks' net rating was also positive.

This shows that he had a positive effect on the Mavericks on the court today.

That Huaxia boy is quite attractive to me!
Caron Butler was praised by Rick Carlisle, and Lin Yang was much more pleasing to the eye.

Lin Yang didn't know what Caron Butler was thinking. His attention was on the court. Kobe continued his excellent offensive firepower at the end of the second quarter, and scored two more goals in less than a minute. Under his leadership, the Lakers took a 1-point lead.

Dirk Nowitzki tried to stand up and fight against Kobe during this period, but it is a pity that his touch did not come back at the beginning.

Facts have proved that even superstars like Kobe and Dik Nowitzki cannot maintain a good state all the time in a game. The most important thing is that they can adjust quickly.

Dirk Nowitzki is also experiencing a sluggish moment now, but the players on the Mavericks still believe in him very much, and the Mavericks' first choice on the court is still him.

"Shh!"

Dirk Nowitzki lived up to the trust of his teammates, and successfully scored the third shot in the third quarter into the basket.

When the ball went into the basket, Dirk Nowitzki bowed his body and clenched his fists to return to the defense. He could finally breathe a sigh of relief when the ball was scored.

It is really stressful to shoot again after the ball has not been scored!Especially now, when the Mavericks need someone to stand up and score, he has been unable to score, and the pressure is even greater.

Fortunately, he scored this goal!

OK!

Rick Carlisle also breathed a sigh of relief. The Lakers are aggressive under the leadership of Kobe. If Dirk is in a downturn at the moment, the game will be really difficult!
Fortunately, Dirk Nowitzki's downturn came and went quickly.

But Kobe was really red-eyed, and Dirk Nowitzki recovered his form, but he couldn't stop this guy from further widening the score difference!

At 7 minutes and 30 seconds of the third quarter, the Lakers established a 7-point lead. Deshaun Stevenson and Jason Kidd, who was defending, were exhausted and out of breath, but they failed to affect Kobe in the slightest.

"Lin, Caron, go!"

Rick Carlisle saw that these two guys were getting more and more reluctant to defend, so he could only replace them with Caron Butler and Lin Yang.

Lin Yang and Caron Butler cooperated well in the first half of the second quarter, and that period was also the period when the Mavericks had the largest lead.

Rick Carlisle let the two of them play at this moment because he hoped that they could lead the Mavericks to a scoring wave like they did in the second quarter and help the Mavericks reverse their current passive situation.

Lin Yang went on stage rubbing his wrists, and Caron Butler followed him on stage. Although he didn't speak, Lin Yang could feel the excitement in his expression.

I want to create something big!

It was written on Caron Butler's face.

The guy's streak of goals in the first half has given him a lot of confidence now.

Lin Yang frowned a little. This time was very different from the beginning of the second quarter. Now the Lakers' starting lineup was on the field, and because of Kobe's red eyes, the entire team is currently in full swing. Chasing points is not so easy.

The defender Caron Butler faced was Kobe Bryant, a defensive player, and it was almost impossible to perform so well.

Who can serve as a breakthrough?

While Lin Yang was receiving the ball in the backcourt, he was already thinking about how to play this ball in his heart!

The substitution is to make the team change for the better, so the first goal is very important...

But just after Lin Yang passed the midfield, the Lakers players defending in front of him made him slightly taken aback.

"Hoo~oh!"

There was also a burst of exclamation from the Mavericks auditorium.

"This is?" The inexplicably excited expression appeared on Barkley's face again.

Depend on!
Rick Carlisle couldn't help clenching his fists, glanced at Phil Jackson on the opposite side, and cursed inwardly: Shameless!

The old god Phil Jackson put his hands in his pockets, and the corners of his mouth suddenly raised, and the fun began!

"Come on! Rookie, break through me, and you will become famous!" Kobe was full of desire, and it was he standing in front of Lin Yang that caused a commotion at the scene.

League No.1 actually took the initiative to defend a rookie?
How could this not cause a commotion!
"Kobe is afraid that Lin will continue to behave, and his words will be posted on Twitter?" Barkley was very excited, and then complained again.

No matter how the No.1 in the league defends a rookie, this is something no one would have thought of before the game.

"I dare not!" Lin Yang replied very sincerely.

"..." Kobe Bryant's face flashed with conspicuous astonishment, why is this newcomer so calm and cowardly?This was not the script he had in mind.

Lin Yang did what he said, and when Caron Butler came to respond, he immediately passed the ball to the latter.

Really don't fight?

Kobe really wanted to despise Lin Yang, but Lin Yang's calm expression made him not know what to say. For the first time in his life, Kobe suddenly stopped talking trash.

Lin Yang gave the ball to Caron Butler, but he didn't stop his pace. He walked around Caron Butler's back. Kobe noticed something and quickly followed. Caron Butler returned the ball to Lin Yang at this time.

This guy is not really afraid!
Kobe looked at Lin Yang's back and immediately moved towards the three-point line after taking the ball, and he also reacted. This rookie didn't dare to hit him, but knew that he couldn't break through, so he chose the help of his teammates very simply.

That's smart!

Although Kobe didn't appreciate Lin Yang's way of handing over the ball, Lin Yang's series of reactions reflected his golf quotient. This rookie is really special!

Fisher made up for Kobe. Kobe was still hesitating whether to double-team Lin Yang with Lao Yu, or to chase Caron Butler. Lin Yang, who was holding the ball, had already passed Fisher with an open mid-range shot.

"Shh!"

The ball hits!
The "old fish" Fisher, who was stepped over, stood there awkwardly.

It's nice to be young!
