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

While Yu Jia was sighing, the match between the two teams continued on the field.

"The Lakers attacked. Ling Yang defended Kobe for three consecutive rounds. How are the Lakers going to play this ball? Kobe, come again..."

Ling Yang was also slightly taken aback. Kobe wanted the ball to attack again at this moment after facing his own defenses and failing to succeed.

"Sure enough! I like it!"

Ling Yang sighed, and then tried his best to pester Kobe again.

However, just like Kobe couldn't continue to face Ling Yang's defense to complete the attack, Ling Yang couldn't completely block Kobe's offensive line either.

With this ball, Kobe used the cover of his teammates to throw Ling Yang away, and then dribbled into the three-second zone.

However, Ling Yang is not the only one on the side of the sun.

Marion followed up in time and blocked Kobe's first offensive line. When Kobe held the ball and used his footsteps to evade Marion's defense, Ling Yang, who followed closely, had already arrived!

Kobe, who raised the ball and took off, felt the huge threat from Ling Yang on his side, and in the end he didn't choose to make a shot, but in the air, he stuffed the ball into the hands of Odom who followed up.

After receiving the ball, Odom took a step forward holding the ball, holding the ball and going directly to the basket.

At this time, four long arms stood up high under the basket, blocking Odom like a barrier.

It is Ling Yang and Marion who are right under the basket!

"Snapped!"

Just when Odom pulled the ball back to avoid Marion's long arm, Ling Yang's big hand pressed directly on the basketball!

"Pretty!

Ling Yang sent out the cover again!Capped Odom's layup!

The Suns, once again defend against the Lakers' offense! "

On the sidelines, the fans of the Lakers looked at Ling Yang at this time, almost getting angry.

For four consecutive rounds, Ling Yang defended against the Lakers' offense for four consecutive rounds. In the first three rounds, he directly defended against Kobe's shots, but in this round, Ling Yang blocked even Kobe's attempt to complete an assist!

"This guy's defense is simply abnormal!"

At the scene, the Lakers fans once again expressed emotion.

However, the situation on the field quickly made them forget about emotion, because at this time, the sun once again started to fight back.

"Retreat!"

Kobe directed his teammates to quickly retreat to the half court. This time, the Lakers formed a better formation than the previous round.

Smush Parker looked at the rushing Nash, with his hands open, ready to fight. He had absolute confidence that he would not let Nash break through the defense as easily as in the previous round.

It's just that Nash is not a person who takes the usual path. He stopped and shot outside the three-point line, and Nash directly rushed to shoot a three-pointer!

"Wow!"

Seeing Nash's shot, the Lakers fans on the scene were in an uproar, and many fans looked anxiously into the court.

The point difference between the two sides is already 3 points. If Nash scores again, the point difference will become 6 points again!

"boom!"

When they saw the basketball hit the rim, the Lakers fans secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, this tone has not yet loosened...

"Nash missed a three-point shot, rebound, Ling Yang! Good rebound, Ling Yang rushed to grab an offensive rebound!"

One step outside the three-second zone on the right, Ling Yang, who came from beyond the three-point line, jumped high and rushed to grab the offensive rebound.

Landing on the ground, Ling Yang took a step forward, stepped directly into the three-second zone, and jumped up again!

"Stop him!"

Behind Ling Yang, there was no Kobe who could stop Ling Yang from rushing to grab the rebound, nor did he expect Ling Yang to attack so decisively, which made his defense a step slower.

Seeing that Ling Yang wanted to directly attack the basket at this moment, he immediately shouted.

Under the basket, Odom, who was originally stuck with Marion, immediately turned to face Ling Yang.

At the same time Ling Yang took off, Odom under the basket also jumped up.

Ling Yang's take-off distance is a bit far, which also makes Odom eager to complete a defense to regain the face of the previous round.

At the same time, Mim, who was also near the basket, also rushed over quickly, jumping from the side in an attempt to interfere with Ling Yang's attack.

"No!"

Ling Yang's body directly slammed into Odom, and the impact completely pushed Odom away and fell to the floor.

But at the same time, Mim has also arrived and caused a confrontation to Ling Yang from the side.

Under the continuous physical confrontation, Ling Yang fell involuntarily, and it was already impossible to complete the dunk at this time.

But Ling Yang at this time is no longer the former Ling Yang who mainly relied on dunks for scoring, and it was basically difficult to make baskets if there was a confrontation.

With a 90% layup ability coupled with the Terminator badge, Ling Yang is still in the air even though his body is a little out of balance, but his hand movements are still very stable.

At this moment, Ling Yang didn't completely dodge even after Mim's physical confrontation.

until……

"drop!"

Finally, after the referee's whistle sounded, Ling Yang flicked the ball lightly with his big hand and threw the ball to the backboard!

Steady his body after landing, watching the basketball hit the backboard and rebound into the basket, Ling Yang immediately punched hard!

2+1!

"Beautiful! 2+1! Ling Yang made a layup after grabbing the offensive rebound and caused the opponent to foul!

Ling Yang's performance in this period is too good. He has repeatedly made great contributions on the defensive end, and on the offensive end, he also caused continuous kills! "

Yu Jia explained excitedly, while Zhang Ping quickly added from the side:

"The Lakers' momentum has been suppressed by the Sun!"

Ling Yang stood on the free throw line, and there was a burst of boos at the scene.

Lakers fans are indeed very depressed at this time. Just now Nash’s three-pointer was blocked, but Ling Yang grabbed a rebound in the blink of an eye, drew a foul, and hit a three-pointer...

Is there any difference between this and not defending the three-pointer?

So at this time, the Lakers fans on the scene were booing as much as possible, hoping to influence Ling Yang as much as possible.

Ling Yang did miss a free throw in the second quarter, but this time, he made the free throw in the face of boos all over the sky.

69:63, the point difference between the two teams once again widened to 6 points.

Phil Jackson called a timeout on the sidelines, and the Lakers fans at the scene were obviously discouraged at this time. They also realized at this moment that the team's counterattack seemed to be blocked.

The Lakers' counterattack was indeed blocked.

Although returning to the court, the Lakers' offense was successful, but the Suns, who had stabilized the situation, played steadily, but did not give the Lakers the opportunity to close the point difference again as before.

77:72, after three quarters, the point difference was fixed at 5 points.

The fourth quarter began, and Kobe sat down to rest, preparing for the second half of the fourth quarter.

But at this time, the Suns' substitutes worked hard.

The Suns' significantly better bench lineup than the Lakers played a role at this time.

When the Lakers' offense was fairly normal, Diaw, Barbosa, House, and Jones were on the court. In less than 3 minutes, they widened the point difference from 5 points to 10 points, and also opened the The Lakers stopped directly.

Phil Jackson replaced Kobe in an emergency, but Kobe's score today is not an explosion.

Facing Lingyang's excellent defense, Kobe basically did not score consecutively in this game.

Moreover, in the fourth quarter, on the basis of Ling Yang's defense, the Suns even chose to flank more.

There are several possessions, even from the receiving stage, to strengthen the defensive flanking of Kobe.

This defensive intensity undoubtedly made Kobe very uncomfortable.

Kobe did not open this point. It is really impossible for this Lakers team to complete the chase.

What's more, they are still facing the Suns who have an excellent offense.

107:95, the game ended, the Suns won the game by 12 points!

Achieve four consecutive victories!

"The game is over, the Suns are playing the Lakers away! In this game, the Suns showed their strength as the second best player in the Western Conference.

Although the point difference between the two teams has not been too large during the game, the Suns have led almost the entire game.

Although the Lakers once overtook in the third quarter, they were quickly stopped by the Suns. The Lakers' overtake in the third quarter became the only lead in the game! "

Yu Jia said, Zhang Ping immediately answered:

"This has to mention Ling Yang's defense. He was very important to Kobe's defense at that stage. He defended Kobe for four consecutive rounds. Kobe failed to attack in three rounds and was forced to pass the ball in one round. If it is given to Odom, it will also be covered by Ling Yang!"

"Not bad!" Yu Jia nodded, and said again: "How good Lingyang's defense is today, we can see from Kobe's statistics that Lingyang was defending almost the entire game today.

科比全场比赛拿到26分，但是29投只有9中，三分球3投1中，罚球8罚7中。投篮命中率31%，三分球命中率33%。

The scoring is close to 10 points less than Kobe's average per game, and the shooting percentage is 14 percentage points lower, and the number of three-pointers is only half of the average per game.

Kobe also got 5 rebounds and 4 assists, which is basically average, but there were 5 turnovers, 3 of which were directly intercepted by Ling Yang. "

Looking at the data, Zhang Ping was also filled with emotion.

"We all know that Sunny's defense is good. In the past, everyone may have paid less attention to the defensive impact data, but in these two games, defending Wade and Kobe in a row has reduced the scoring threat of the two top scorers in the league. The league can do it There are not many people who defend like this!

You know, except for the end of the fourth quarter in this whole game, Ling Yang basically defended Kobe alone for most of the rest of the time! "

While the two domestic commentators were commenting, the Lakers' on-site commentator was actually analyzing the data of the two teams.

Kobe's stats, of course, made Lingyang's fans excited, but also surprised the fans of the Lakers and Kobe.

Everyone realized that it was time to re-examine Ling Yang's defense. This is definitely the strength of the league's top defensive player!

But at this moment, in the domestic live broadcast room, Yu Jia and others have already looked at Ling Yang's data.

"In this game, Ling Yang not only performed well in defense, but also performed well in offense.

全场比赛，凌阳拿到24分16个篮板4次抢断3次封盖1次助攻！

This is the first time in Lingyang's career that he has scored 20+10 in two consecutive games. "

Saying that, Yu Jia looked at Zhang Ping.

"Director Zhang, before this, Sunny also scored 25 points in a single game in the regular season, but this is the first time that they scored 20 points in a row. What do you think is the reason?"

"Because of the stability of the attack!" Zhang Ping replied immediately.

"In the past, Ling Yang's scoring was mainly two points, defensive counterattack and fast break and cutting inside to eat cakes. Later, after the offensive rebound strengthened, he often had a second offensive score.

But the scoring methods are limited after all. If the opponent protects the basket better, it will be difficult for Ling Yang to improve his scoring.

But you can see that these two games are different, he can shoot!And the shooting percentage in these two games is not bad.In addition, the layup shooting rate has also been greatly improved. Coupled with the Sun's offensive system, he can get opportunities, so he scored 20 points in two consecutive games. "

Speaking of this, Zhang Ping paused immediately, and then continued to analyze:

"If Ling Yang's current scoring methods can remain stable, I think Suns coach D'Antoni may give Ling Yang more offensive tactics on the offensive end..."

While Zhang Ping was analyzing, D'Antoni was thinking about the same thing in the visiting team's locker room.

Ling Yang didn’t have the ability to shoot before, so he didn’t play many roles on the offensive end. Ling Yang’s role was more about counterattack tactics. When he fell into positional battles, Ling Yang’s offense, apart from occasional cuts, was to look for opportunities to pick and roll with Nash and cut into the inside to eat. cake.

To be honest, Ling Yang's ability to hit the counterattack is the most important reason why Ling Yang is able to score in double digits per game. In fact, when he falls into the half-court offense, his offense is actually very average.

But now, D'Antoni feels that Ling Yang and Nash can play more pick-and-roll cooperation.

Such a pick-and-roll Kurt Thomas and Marion can certainly play, but compared to the two, Ling Yang's ability to hit the basket will be more prominent.

Ling Yang doesn't know what the coach thinks yet, at this moment, he is happily counting the gains from the two consecutive games.

In the last game, Ling Yang gained 50 experience points in the game against the Heat, and in this game, he gained 48 points again.

It is the first time for Ling Yang to gain so many experience points in two consecutive games, and this, of course, has a lot to do with his 20+ points in two consecutive games.

"Play a few more games, and I should be able to improve my ability a little bit!"

Ling Yang thought cheerfully.

However, if Ling Yang wants to play a game, he still has to wait two days.

After the game against the Lakers, the Sun team returned to Phoenix to prepare for the next game the next day, while Ling Yang stayed in Los Angeles, preparing for the meeting with Coca-Cola.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, Bill Duffy came to the hotel where Ling Yang was staying. As soon as they met, Bill Duffy smiled at Ling Yang and asked:

"Ling, have you read the reports of the Los Angeles local media about yesterday's game?"

"No." Ling Yang replied, and then curiously asked Bill Duffy:

"Bill, any interesting reports?"

At this moment, Bill Duffy smiled and handed Ling Yang a newspaper. Ling Yang took it and found that it was the famous media "Los Angeles Times".

Because Bill Duffy had turned to the sports section, Ling Yang saw a whole page of reports about the Suns and the Lakers last night at a glance.

In addition to the daily game reports, Ling Yang soon found a small piece of commentary reports about himself.

"It's time to discuss Ling's competitiveness among the best defensive players"

This is a commentary report issued by the NBA reporter of the Los Angeles Times. The content is not much. Starting from Ling Yang's defense against Kobe in this game, it also mentioned Ling Yang's defensive performance against Wade in the last game, and listed Ling Yang's defense against Wade in the last game. Present the data and then draw his conclusions.

"Averaging 10 rebounds, 2.22 steals, and 1.8 blocks per game, Ling's defensive performance is good enough and still improving.

What is even more surprising is that after Ling Yang started, the Suns ranked 12th in the league in defensive efficiency per 10 possessions this season. If they continue to perform like this, they may even become the top [-] teams in defensive efficiency per [-] possessions .

This was completely unimaginable last season.

As the biggest hero among them, Ling is fully qualified to compete for the best defensive player! "

Ling Yang put down the newspaper and looked up at Bill Duffy.

"Bill, you mean, I want to compete for this honor as much as possible?"

"Yes!" Bill Duffy nodded heavily, "If he can win the best defensive player in his rookie season, it will definitely be a very important honor to create history."

Ling Yang nodded after listening. What he saw was not only the honor, but also the benefits behind the honor.

For the improvement of social status, it may also bring systematic rewards.

"Then let's compete!"

Ling Yang smiled lightly, first entered the system, and added the 98 experience points he had just obtained to the steals, increasing his steals to 87.

If you want to compete for the best defensive player, the defensive contribution on the field is naturally one aspect, and data is also essential!

His average steals of 2.22 per game seem to be tied for the first place in the league. If so, let's get rid of this tie!
