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

In the locker room of the visiting team, as soon as he entered the locker room, O'Neal joked to Pat Lailly:

"Hey, boss, your intelligence seems to be wrong. Today's fortune teller didn't predict that a guy on the opposite side would explode."

O'Neill, as a living treasure, obviously had a somewhat teasing tone at this time. Laili was not angry when he heard it, but spread his hands and said:

"I really didn't expect the guy on the opposite side to usher in an explosion. As for the intelligence error, Shaquille, that's not the case. According to our data analysis, this guy was outside the three-second zone in more than 50 games before. Only 3 shots were made.

So today it's not that our intelligence is wrong, but that the opponent is really not playing normally. "

After Laili finished speaking, he smiled and said, "But it doesn't matter. This guy's offense relies heavily on his teammates' passes. If we meet again next time, we can definitely show him what defense is."

Saying that, Lai Li paused, "Of course, it seems that there is no chance this season, unless they can reach the finals."

When O'Neill heard this, he nodded with deep approval, and then suddenly raised his head.

"Hey, boss, why do you say that unless the opponent also enters the finals..."

Laili glanced at O'Neill at this time,

"Shaquille, shouldn't we be in the Finals for granted?

Do you want to lose to those guys in Detroit again this season?Then let everyone in the league think that the big shark has lost its dominance? "

"Huh?" O'Neal's eyes widened, and then he shouted directly.

"To hell with those Detroit guys, I'll show them what it means to be dominant in the playoffs!

! ”

After hearing this, Pat Lily nodded his meticulously combed hair.

The playoffs are only over a month away, and it is time to gradually mobilize O'Neal's enthusiasm for the game.

"Shaquille, you really have to show your dominance, otherwise anyone can ride on your head and dunk."

At this moment, a faint voice sounded.

O'Neill turned his head, looked at Payton with a joking expression, rolled his eyes, and then went straight to the water for Ramonen.

"Alangzuo was dunked by the opponent."

When Mourning heard this, his eyes widened immediately, and he said a little unconvinced: "That guy's physical fitness is indeed excellent, but if I see him next time, I will definitely beat him!"

"Gloves, you should change your nickname, how many wonderful passes did you let the point guard on the opposite side send today..."

Hearing a few old guys joking and joking, the other Heat players smiled and did not answer, but the atmosphere in the entire locker room was very good.

Instead, he simply forgot about the loss just now, which is probably the benefit of having old players.

While the Heat players were chatting about Ling Yang, at this time the "shooting master" Ling Yang returned to the locker room after interacting with the young fans, and he was the last one to arrive.

Seeing Ling Yang coming, Marion shouted directly:

"Ling, your shooting tonight is great!"

Marion imitated the shouting of the little fan before, which immediately caused laughter in the locker room.

In the midst of such laughter, Nash also smiled and said, "Ling, to be honest, your shooting surprised us. Dude, you should have tried more in the previous games."

Hearing these words, Ling Yang murmured in his heart, "I didn't know how to do this before."

He said in his mouth, "Steve, I'm just going to give you a surprise, and it's not too late to show it now."

"It's really not too late." D'Antoni said on the sidelines.

"Ling, if you showed like this before the playoffs, I might have to hesitate whether you can have enough stability, but now, the team can give you more opportunities to try, and I can even arrange for you tactics."

Hearing D'Antoni's words, Ling Yang felt joyful and grateful.

To be honest, Ling Yang did think about it for a while before, first increase the defense to the top, and then add some shooting before the playoffs.

However, D'Antoni's words now remind him that the team's tactics are basically formed during the regular season, and in the playoffs they will only make some adjustments based on their opponents.

If Ling Yang really waited until the playoffs to add his own offensive capabilities, it is very likely that D'Antoni would not dare to take the risk of adding new tactics for Ling Yang.

Thinking of this, Ling Yang smiled and said to D'Antoni: "Okay, coach, I can maintain a stable performance."

D'Antoni nodded. Although he said that he might design some tactics for Ling Yang, but Ling Yang is only one game after all, so everything has to be observed and observed.

As the head coach, he must at least know that a player has a stable offensive method before designing tactics specifically.

For example, at the beginning of the season, even if Ling Yang started on the field, it was just a normal running team's daily practice tactics.

But later, as Ling Yang showed the ability to cut into the basket, D'Antoni will make more tactical arrangements for Ling Yang's cut.

The coaching staff wants to see Ling Yang's performance in the next game, and Ling Yang is also looking forward to the next game, because next, they need to play against the Los Angeles Lakers.

I just tested my 90 on-ball defense on Wade, and the effect is not bad.

And next, what needs to be faced is Kobe Bryant, the league's top scorer this season.

After the game against the Heat and a day of rest, the entire Sun team came to Los Angeles.

Just after checking into the hotel here, Ling Yang received a call from his agent, Bill Duffy.

"Ling, are you playing in Los Angeles today?"

While saluting, Ling Yang said: "Yes, we need to play against the Lakers tonight, Bill, we just arrived at the hotel now."

"That's great, Ling, I have good news for you." Bill Duffy said with joy in his tone at this time.

"You should still remember that after the slam dunk contest, I told you that Coca-Cola approached me to negotiate an advertising endorsement, and now they report that they have basically accepted the price of the endorsement contract.

They hope to have a formal meeting with you in Los Angeles tomorrow, and if possible, complete the signing of the contract as soon as possible. "

Ling Yang remembered that after the slam dunk contest a few days ago, Bill Duffy did tell him that some advertisers came to cooperate with him, including Coca-Cola.

It's just that Ling Yang thought that the endorsement negotiation would take a certain amount of time, so he didn't take it too seriously.

I didn't expect that Bill Duffy would finish the deal so quickly this time.

Ling Yang thought about it, after playing the Lakers tonight, the Suns will have to rest for a day before the game, so it's okay for him to delay a day in Los Angeles.

So he immediately responded and said, "Bill, it should be fine. We can ask them to meet with each other tomorrow morning. Of course, I have to communicate with the team first."

Although it is said that after coming to the away game, the team will not completely participate in the activities of the players in the penalty area, but if Ling Yang negotiates with Coca-Cola tomorrow, it is very likely that the team will not be able to return to Phoenix with the team, but will return alone later. .

Naturally, Ling Yang still needs to inform the team about acting alone without the team.

After talking on the phone with Bill Duffy, Ling Yang went to find Mike D'Antoni again, and after obtaining the coach's permission, he replied to Bill Duffy and made an appointment to meet the next day.

……

19:30 pm local time, Los Angeles Staples Arena.

The attendance rate of the Lakers home court has always been high, especially this season. With Kobe's series of crazy scoring performances, the fans' enthusiasm for watching the game has been greatly aroused.

Moreover, the record of the Lakers this season is also better than last season. After welcoming back Phil Jackson as the head coach, the game has been played so far. The Lakers have a record of 34 wins and 33 losses, with a winning percentage of over 50%, ranking seventh in the Western Conference. .

As long as they maintain this momentum, they will be able to re-enter the playoffs.

Moreover, this game has attracted the attention of Lakers fans, because the Phoenix Suns, who are also the number one in the Pacific, are currently ranked second in the West.

If the current ranking remains unchanged, the two teams may meet in the first round of the playoffs.

And what's interesting is that the two teams, both in the Pacific region, will fight 4 times this season. Except for the first fight at the beginning of the season, it is only now in March that they will fight for the second time.

Played twice in March and once in April.

The two sides have many opportunities to get acquainted with each other.

This game is also very popular in China. Kobe has already accumulated a large number of fans in China, and Ling Yang is relying on his increasingly outstanding performance and his popularity after winning the slam dunk contest. Compete with Yao Ming.

If the fight continues like this, sooner or later his popularity will surpass that of Yao Ming.

At this moment, Yu Jia, the host of Huaxia TV, was also chatting about the previous match between the two teams.

"The two teams once played against each other at the beginning of the season. In that game, the Suns also played away and took away the victory from Staples.

Compared with the previous match between the two teams, there have been some changes in the starting lineups of both sides. Now let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides. "

While Yu Jia was talking, the starting lineups of the two teams were displayed on the big screen.

The visiting team Suns, Kurt Thomas, Marion, Ling Yang, Bell, Nash.

The home team of the Lakers, center is Chris Mihm, power forward Brian Cook, small forward Lamar Odom, shooting guard Kobe Bryant, point guard Smush Parker.

Ling Yang and others were also looking at the lineups of the two teams. When they saw that the Lakers' lineup was the same as the coaching staff predicted before the game, Ling Yang immediately said to Bell:

"Raja, okay, no accidents, I'll defend Kobe!"

Bell also laughed when he heard it, "It's best to let you defend the whole game, I don't want to face that guy."

The two walked onto the field talking and laughing, and the game started soon.

The centers of the two teams jumped the ball, and Mihm helped the Lakers get the first offensive ball.

After the sun set, everyone also discovered the sun's misplaced defense.

"Hey, there is a dislocation on the Suns' defense. Marion is facing Odom, and Bell is defending Cook, who is more offensive and shoots, and Ling Yang is defending Kobe!"

While speaking, Yu Jia's voice increased a little.

"Ling Yang's defense has been recognized by more and more people, but now, what he needs to face is the league's top scorer, Kobe Bryant!"

"That's right, in the last game, Ling Yang was defending against Wade most of the time, and now he is defending against Kobe."

Director Zhang, known as Ping Bryant, also took up the conversation at this time.

"This game is so good!"
