NBA: I haven't played a game but I'm full of talent

The Sun's next opponent is the No. [-] Pistons in the East.

In terms of record, there is a certain gap between the two teams.

进入1月的4场比赛，太阳3胜1负，上一场比赛刚刚以3分之差输给了近期势头非常勐的掘金队。

This brought the Suns' record to 33 wins and 15 losses.

The Pistons, on the other hand, rely on a record of 40 wins and 8 losses, firmly sitting first in the Eastern Conference and first in the league.

The Detroit Pistons are undoubtedly the top team in the NBA in the past two years. They have reached the NBA Finals in the past two years.

And in 2004, defeated the Lakers F4 in one fell swoop to complete the championship.

Although they were defeated by the Spurs last season and failed to achieve consecutive championships, their strength cannot be denied.

This season, the Pistons' record is firmly in the top spot in the Eastern Conference, and no one can pose a threat to them.

The Suns and the Pistons once played against each other in November. The Suns lost completely at home. In that game, the Suns were completely blown inside.

In that game, Ling Yang was still a substitute, and there were not many opportunities to perform.

This time it is different, Ling Yang is firmly in the starting lineup, and Kurt Thomas's continued absence also makes him have to bear more.

Palace of Auburn Hills, this is a name very familiar to Lingyang fans of this generation.

After that famous fight, NBA fans completely remembered the name.

During the warm-up period before the game, two Wallaces were practicing.

Rasheed Wallace is on offense and Ben Wallace is on defense.

In the warm-up phase, defensive moves are practiced. This is Ben Wallace, the three-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year.

"Ben, be careful with the two forwards on the opposite side. They seem to be grabbing pretty good rebounds recently."

Rasheed Wallace said to Ben Wallace, who was interfering in front, while throwing the ball with a trademark straight arm shot.

The NBA is a team that pays great attention to data analysis. With Ling Yang's excellent rebounding performance recently, the striker rebounding combination formed by him and Marion has also begun to be noticed by various teams.

Ben Wallace nodded, "Don't worry, man, I'll keep an eye on them, I'll give you the rebound."

As the three-time rebounding leader in the league, he has basically been among the top three in the league in rebounds in recent years. Ben Hualaishi does have the capital to speak like this.

Rasheed Wallace nodded, "Last time we blasted their inside lanes, but the Kurt Thomas on the opposite side today is not there. This time I think we can absolutely continue to blow up their inside lanes."

"Of course!" Ben Wallace took it for granted.

As one of the league's top inside combinations, the Double Wallaces can completely compete with any team's inside in the league, and once the opponent's inside strength is a little weaker, they can almost completely explode the opponent.

What's more, Billups and Prince are also good at attacking the basket.

……

While the players of the two teams were warming up, many fans in China were sitting in front of the computer, watching the Sina Sports screen on the screen.

"Sina Sports, hello everyone, I'm Chen Fan, today I will continue to live broadcast the NBA regular season with you, the Suns away game against the No. [-] seed in the Eastern Conference, the Detroit Pistons.

Today the studio and I are explaining together, it is the familiar teacher Su Junyang..."

With the improvement of the sun's record and stable performance, the popularity of the sun in China is also getting higher and higher.

Especially from January to now, Yao Ming has been absent due to injury, and domestic fans have paid more attention to Ling Yang.

The Suns game has also become the most popular game in the country during this period of time.

Because Huaxia TV signed an agreement with the NBA before the start of the season and set the number of related live broadcasts, it still broadcasts most of the Rockets' games live.

Sina immediately adjusts to broadcast more Suns games live because Internet companies are more flexible in handling such matters.

This has brought huge fan users to Sina.

Moreover, many Lingyang fans prefer the trendy Internet model because of Hupu, which also allows them to watch NBA games more through the Internet.

After an analysis before the opening, the two commentators watched the starting players of the two teams come out, and immediately changed the topic to the stadium.

"The game is about to start. Let's take a look at the lineups of both sides. The Suns still have the starting lineup of Diaw, Marion, Ling Yang, Bell, and Nash.

According to Phoenix reporters, both Stoudemire and Thomas hope to officially return at the end of this month, that is, after the All-Star Game, and the Suns' lineup may be adjusted. "

"Let's look at the Pistons, Pistons five, center Ben Wallace, power forward Rasheed Wallace, small forward Prince, shooting guard Richard Hamilton, point guard Chauncey Billup S."

"Bounce ball!"

On the field, Dior and Ben Wallace jumped the ball, and Wallace took the lead in helping the Pistons get the ball.

After Billups dribbled the ball and came to the half court, he roared that Rasheed Wallace fell to the low post and asked for the ball. Billups immediately passed the ball.

Obviously, the Pistons' tactics today are also very clear, which is to start from the inside.

Marion is very experienced in defending big insiders, but there is indeed a gap in height and weight between the two.

After Rasheed Wallace started back hitting, Marion was pushed forward by Rasheed Wallace despite his efforts.

And Rasheed Wallace saw that he was already relatively close to the three-second zone, and he immediately turned around from the ball and was about to shoot.

At this moment, Ling Yang's double team arrived!

Although Ling Yang, who landed in the bottom corner, knew that it would be risky to leave Prince like this, he seized the opportunity and decisively chose to help defend.

Moreover, he is also confident that with his excellent movement speed, even if Rasheed Wallace passes the ball, he can rush back to the defense immediately.

At the same time, he was also betting on whether Rasheed Wallace would choose to attack himself on the first ball.

As it turns out, he was right.

Rasheed Wallace, who felt that the rhythm was good, saw Ling Yang coming to defend, but did not pass the ball to Prince in the bottom corner, but chose to shoot directly by himself.

However, the defense of Ling Yang and Marion was not covered.

The two cooperated tacitly, one was in front and the other was on the side, which greatly interfered with Rasheed Wallace's shot.

After the ball hit the basket, it bounced high and headed straight ahead.

The basketball didn't fall directly, but hit the front edge of the basket and bounced up again.

Dior, who was stuck on Wallace, didn't expect this, so he relaxed and prepared to take off. It was this moment of relaxation that allowed Wallace to seize the opportunity.

Taking a small step to the side, he took advantage of the situation and took advantage of his own strength and advantage. At this time, Ben Hualaishi stuck Dior instead.

Looking at the basketball that had fallen, Ben Hualaishi jumped up and reached out to take off the backboard.

But in the air, he soon discovered that there was a figure faster than him.

Ling Yang!

With a rebounding ability of 90%, Ling Yang has an excellent judgment on rebounding points and a good sense of smell, even compared to Ben Hualaishi.

When Ling Yang saw the ball bouncing just now, he rushed forward but did not jump in a hurry.

When the ball really fell, Ling Yang, who had been prepared for a long time, took off quickly. Just when Ben Wallace was half an arm away from the basketball, he had already stretched out his hand to pick off the rebound.

Ignoring Ben Wallace's slightly surprised eyes, Ling Yang took a quick step after landing, and then handed the ball into Nash's hands.

Facing a strong defensive team like the Pistons, the Suns still hope to speed up, counterattack and increase the success rate of offense.

However, the seasoned Pistons did not give the Suns a chance.

Billups posted the post to delay Nash for the first time, and the rest of the players also caught up with their opponents in time.

The sun was forced to fall into positional warfare.

It didn't start with Nash's pick-and-roll tactics. For this ball, Sun Raja Bell made a screen to give the opponent a chance to receive a pass from Nash in the middle distance.

However, Hamilton, who is a master of off-ball running, caught up in time and interfered with Bell.

The ball bounced off the rim.

At the basket, Ben Wallace saw that Dior didn't even intend to grab an offensive rebound, so he stood at the landing point and prepared to take off.

"Watch out for the rebound!"

At this moment, Ben Wallace heard Prince's yell, and instantly became alert.

Prince was facing Ling Yang. Since Prince shouted, of course it was Ling Yang who came to attack the frontcourt.

Without waiting for the basketball to drop, Ben Wallace jumped up directly.

Ben Wallace guessed right, it was Ling Yang who rushed in.

When Bell shot, Ling Yang slipped away from Prince and rushed to the inside.

At this time, it happened to come to the side of Ben Wallace.

Although he arrived late, and the position was not as good as Ben Hualaishi, Ling Yang made up for it all with his excellent jumping.

With the help of the momentum, he jumped up, and at the moment when Ben Hualaishi was about to catch the ball, Ling Yang rushed over with his big hand, stabbed the bottom of the basketball, and pulled the ball up again.

Immediately, the bodies of the two fell to the floor.

The next moment, the two sides jumped into the air directly.

But this time, facing Ben Hualaishi, who is 2 meters tall with a haircut and still has a question mark, the excellent bullet speed gave Ling Yang an obvious advantage!

In front of Ben Hualaishi, Ling Yang received an offensive rebound steadily.

Ben Hualaishi is the best defensive player, he reacted extremely quickly, and moved quickly after landing, directly blocking Ling Yang's route to cut directly to the basket.

Ling Yang was not greedy for merit, the ball was handed over to Nash, and the Suns reorganized their offense.

This scene on the field immediately amazed Yang Fan and Su Junyang who were commenting in China.

"Lingyang was very active in grabbing rebounds today. He grabbed rebounds in two consecutive rounds. This offensive rebound was even grabbed above Ben Hualaishi's head."

As soon as Su Junyang finished speaking, Yang Fan answered immediately:

"Not bad, and Ling Yang's current rebounding is getting better and better.

After starting, especially after Kurt Thomas was injured, Ling Yang's rebounding contribution is very important for the Suns... Hey, Ling Yang grabbed another offensive rebound! "

Ben Hualaishi couldn't help but stare wide-eyed on the field at the moment, Ling Yang actually grabbed another frontcourt board.

Just now, Marion missed a long two-point shot, the ball bounced very fast, flew past Prince's head, and just landed in the running Ling Yang's hands.

Although there was some element of luck in this ball, it was enough to make Ben Wallace look at Ling Yang a little bit differently.

In the first three rounds, Ling Yang grabbed 3 rebounds, which made him feel embarrassed just talking about rebounds with Rasheed Wallace before the game.

Sure enough, after Marion made the second shot, Rasheed Wallace immediately came to Big Ben after serving the ball and said with a smile:

"Hey, Ben, what about protecting the rebound? I just blocked the opponent, but the rebound fell into someone else's hands."

After hearing this, Big Ben snorted and said, "Rashid, just wait and see, that guy won't have such a chance again."

In the next few possessions, Ben Wallace led the Pistons to pay great attention to the control of the backcourt rebounds.

Even when attacking, Prince, who was reminded by Ben Hualaishi, deliberately strengthened the confrontation with Ling Yang, preventing Ling Yang from easily entering the inside line to compete for rebounds.

But obviously, the situation on the court is not completely under the control of Ben Wallace, and Ling Yang's rebounds are not limited by what he says he can limit.

At 4 minutes and 27 seconds of the game, the home team attacked, and the Pistons continued to implement the strategy of attacking the inside.

After Ling Yang assisted in the defense, Prince received the pass, but faced with Ling Yang who quickly returned to the defense, Prince did not choose to shoot directly, but dribbled the ball to a close range and made a throw.

However, in the face of Ling Yang's interference, he successfully struck iron.

Ling Yang, on the other hand, was at the stage where the inside players of the two sides were entangled, took advantage of the trend and took the rebound, and harvested his 4th rebound!

Throughout the first quarter, because the Pistons deliberately controlled the rhythm, the Suns fell into more positional battles, so the offense did not play very smoothly.

But at the same time, the Pistons put more energy on the defensive end, and their performance on the offensive end is also very average.

The Pistons thought that it would be easier to attack the inside without Kurt Thomas, but they soon discovered that there was another bad thing about Ling Yang.

Ling Yang's active defensive assistance had a great impact on the Pistons' offensive inside.

Moreover, because the Pistons are too focused on the inside offense, the Suns' defense can shrink better, which also allows Ling Yang to have more opportunities to appear at the basket.

In this way, it is more convenient for Ling Yang, whether it is the defense of the inside or the protection of rebounds, so the number of rebounds is still rising.

At 20:21, after the first quarter, the scores of the two teams were not high, and the point difference was only 1 point.

In the first quarter, Lingyang didn't get much chance on the offensive end, and only scored 2 points through free throws, but it was quite rewarding in terms of rebounds.

Although the rhythm was slowed down by the Pistons in this quarter, there were not so many offensive rounds.

Moreover, after getting 2 offensive rebounds in a short period of time in the opening game, Ling Yang failed to grab the offensive rebounds in the first quarter, and Marion and Dior also shared a lot of backcourt rebounds in the following games.

But after the first quarter, Ling Yang still scored 8 points and 22 rebounds in 2 minutes and 7 seconds of playing time.

7 rebounds in a single quarter is also Lingyang's new high!
