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

"drop!"

With the whistle at the end of the game, the players on the benches of the two teams also stood up from their seats.

However, the players were in no hurry to leave the field.

Under the leadership of Kobe on the Lakers side and the leadership of Nash on the Suns side, players from both sides went to the center line to communicate.

The leader of the two teams, Nash and Kobe, took the lead in embracing, followed by Marion, Stoudemire, Ling Yang...

When standing in front of Ling Yang, Kobe, who is the leader of the Lakers, couldn't help but look a little more complicated.

In this series, Kobe played against Ling Yang almost all the time, and he already had a very deep understanding of Ling Yang's defensive ability.

Of course, after the entire series, the impression left on Kobe was not just defense.

In the last two games, the Lakers actually had a certain chance to win the final victory, but in the third game Ling Yang was 100% on the offensive end and contributed to the Suns on the rebound end in this game.

In particular, Ling Yang's offensive performance led by a group of substitute players at the end of the third quarter and the beginning of the fourth quarter left a deep impression on Kobe.

"Ling, your performance in this series is great! Your defense is very good, and the improvement in other aspects is also very fast, beyond my expectations."

After finishing a hug with Ling Yang, Kobe spoke first.

"At the end of the All-Star weekend, I only remember your dunks, but now I can remember your defense, impact, and shooting."

"Thank you!" Ling Yang smiled and said, "Kobe, you are an outstanding scorer in the league. If it was before the All-Star weekend, this kind of matchup would be enough to give me a headache."

"So you think it's easy to defend me now?" Kobe raised his eyebrows after hearing this.

"I have the opportunity to come to Los Angeles to practice together this summer, and I will feel your defense again."

When Ling Yang heard this, he also became interested. Summer is a good time to hone his skills. If someone like Ke Jing, who is excellent in both offense and defense, can accompany him to practice, there will naturally be a greater improvement.

Therefore, he responded almost without any hesitation: "No problem! I will come to you after I finish playing in the finals."

Kobe smiled when he heard Ling Yang said that he was going to play in the finals, "Then I wish you all good luck!"

"Thank you!"

The two ended their communication and continued to hug and greet other players.

At this time, Barkley on the sidelines commentary quickly said as if he had discovered a new world: "Kenny, have you found out? Kobe spent the longest time communicating with Ling, even surpassing Steve Nash !"

"I found it!" Kenny Smith responded immediately:

"I think it should be Ling's performance that made Kobe admire him. In this game, Ling once again became the number one contributor to the team's victory."

"That's right! Ling is indeed the biggest contributor to the Suns' ability to win this game and complete the sweep of the Lakers." Barkley also immediately took up the conversation.

"Let's take a look at the statistics of the two players, the most dazzling one is undoubtedly Ling Yang.

In the whole game, Ling's score was not as outstanding as in the previous game. He only scored 22 points, and his shooting percentage was not as high as the previous game.

…. However, Ling also grabbed 20 rebounds and contributed 5 steals, 3 blocks and 6 assists! "

Speaking of this, Barkley couldn't help but wonder:

"Ling not only got the league's first double 20 in this season's playoffs, but also got 6 assists unexpectedly, which is amazing!"

"Ling's six assists were mainly due to the offensive rebounds and the offensive climax late in the third quarter and early in the fourth quarter."

Barkley nodded, and then continued: "Calling Ling is the most dazzling player in this game, not only because of the statistics, but also because of the key moments Kenny mentioned.

In the first quarter of the game, Ling actively grabbed offensive rebounds and helped the Suns break the deadlock. In the last few minutes of the third quarter and the first few minutes of the fourth quarter, it was Ling's outstanding performance on the court that helped the Suns play Breaking through the attack wave, tied the score! "

"And his key steal against Kobe, the counter-attack dunk to complete the lead!" Kenny - Smith added.

"Yes, Ling's performance in this game is indeed impeccable. Let's also take a look at the performance of other players."

“太阳这边，史蒂夫-纳什17分8次助攻、肖恩18分7个篮板……太阳的竟然有7人得分上双。”

Although the Suns' offense was relatively mediocre in the first half and even the first half of the third quarter, but after the whole game, there were more blooming points, and as many as 7 players scored in double figures.

In addition to Ling Yang, Nash, and Marion, Stoudemire, Barbosa, Bell, and Jones also scored in double figures.

It can be seen that the Lakers did not lose unjustly.

As for the Lakers, apart from Kobe Bryant scoring a team-high 26 points, Lamar Odom scoring 18 points, and Smash Parker scoring 13 points, no one else scored particularly outstandingly.

Kobe's performance of 26 points has once again proved Ling Yang's excellent defense.

Although Kobe had a strong desire to attack on the offensive end in this game, Ling Yang still did not let Kobe get a high score.

After four games, Kobe scored 30 points in only the third game when both sides were fighting hard, and the scores in the remaining three games were not high.

Especially in the first game, the score was less than 20.

Just at this time, on the big screens of the two sides, there was also a data comparison of the four games between Kobe and Ling Yang.

Barkley immediately began to read, "Let us feel Ling's excellent defense through the statistics of the league's scoring leader Kobe Bryant."

"In the first game, Kobe made 20 of 5 shots, 3 of 0 three-pointers, 8 of 7 free throws, 19 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, and 4 turnovers.

第二场比赛，科比25分5个篮板5次助攻4个失误，第三场比赛科比34分5个篮板4次助攻3次失误。

第四场比赛，科比26分6个篮板5次助攻3次失误，场均26分，科比在本轮系列赛的场均得分比常规赛下降了9.4分。”

At this time, Barkley couldn't help sighing after watching the data of Kobe's four games.

"To be able to limit Kobe's scoring to this point, Ling's defense is indeed surprising. The voting for the best defensive player is about to take place. If you watch the expert reporters in this round of the series, I think they will be willing to vote for this Vote for Ling!"

..."Charles, to be honest, Ling's performance is somewhat beyond my expectations, not just because of defense, from the whole round of the series, Ling will even be the best player."

Smith said from the side at this time, and then said: "Now, let us also review Ling's statistical performance in this series."

“首场比赛，凌拿下24分12个篮板5次抢断4次封盖2次助攻。

第二场比赛，凌拿下了15分12个篮板3次抢断2次封盖1次助攻。

然后接下来的第三场比赛，凌阳14投14中，罚球3罚3中，以100%的投篮命中率和罚球命中率拿下了31分11个篮板3次抢断3次封盖2次助攻。

再加上本场比赛，22分20个篮板5次抢断3次封盖6次助攻！

场均23分13.75个篮板4次抢断3次封盖2.75次助攻，这是一个新秀球员首轮季后赛的表现！”

When Smith said this, he smiled at Barkley and asked, "Charles, what do you think after reading this set of data?"

"Best rookie!" Barkley replied directly.

"Having such data performance in the playoffs is undoubtedly an All-Star level. Although Ling's offensive assist rate is still high, his offensive ability with the ball is still not outstanding.

But in my heart, he is the league's new superstar.

The selection of the best rookie will also come out in the next few days. If Chris Paul is the best rookie in the first half of the season, then in the second half of the season, Ling is the best performer. that one!

Sailing's performance in this round of series also fully proved this point! ! "

"Well, let's wait and see whether Ling Yang, who helped the Suns sweep their opponent 4-0 in this round of the series, can get such an honor..."

While Smith and Barkley were chatting, the players of the two teams had also completed their final exchanges on the court, and the Suns, who were playing away, left the court first.

The Lakers, who are playing at home, have to bid farewell to the season with all the Lakers fans.

0:4 was eliminated, and the Lakers officially ended this season.

In fact, when they fell behind 0:3, the Lakers fans already had a certain premonition in their hearts, so at this moment, the atmosphere on the scene is not bad.

When the Lakers players and fans bid farewell, the fans at the scene still gave warm applause.

Ling Yang and others walked into the player tunnel and could still hear bursts of applause from outside. Marion said with a smile at this time:

"Hey guys, what time do you guys think we're going to be seeing us off at West Coast Arena?"

"Of course it will be after the finals!"

"Why send us off? Shouldn't it be a championship parade with us?"

…………

The Suns players joked one after another. Although they only won the first round of the game, everyone has begun to look forward to further goals.

D'Antoni did not interrupt the lively discussion among the players at this time, although he felt that what the team needs to consider now is the next round of the game, and then consider the next thing.

However, since the players have high fighting spirit, he is naturally willing to see it.

Perhaps because of the 4:0 sweep of the Lakers, the Suns players are also very confident.

.... At the press conference after the game, Nash calmed down a bit, while Marion and Stoudemire were full of confidence in their words.

"The team's goal is obviously not just to advance to the second round, we hope to go further!"

"We are not worried about the Nuggets or the Clippers who will enter the second round. Both teams are very good, but the Suns will be even better. No matter who they are, the Suns have enough confidence and strength to win. opponent."

"We need to forget the past round of the series and continue to look forward. I hope the team can complete the tasks that were not completed last year. Our goal has always been the O'Brien Cup, which has never changed... "

Winning the opponent 4:0 is when morale is high, and Sun fans are also happy to see such statements from the stars.

In contrast, the Lakers' post-game news interviews, as the loser, are more about summarizing this season and looking forward to the next season.

"The strength of the Suns is indeed better. They have performed better than us in the entire series. What we need to do this summer is to summarize the shortcomings and strengthen the lineup. The Lakers will definitely be even better next season."

"We have an excellent management team, an excellent coaching staff and a lineup of players with potential. This season we have made a breakthrough on the basis of last season and entered the playoffs. This is progress!"

……

For the Lakers, the reporter's questions basically focused on Kobe and Phil Jackson, and among them, there were obviously more reporters who asked Kobe.

And the reporter inevitably asked about Ling Yang.

"Kobe, what do you think of the matchup with Ling in this series? Did his defense really cause you a lot of trouble?"

When the reporter finished asking, Kobe leaned forward to the microphone and replied without any hesitation:

"I have to admit that it is true! Ling is the young player with the best defensive talent and defensive attitude I have ever seen. Although it is only his first season in the league, he has become one of the top defensive players in the league.

If I were to make an evaluation, I would choose Ling as the best defensive player of the season. When you are not playing against him, you will never know how strong his defensive oppression is! "

"Of course, in fact, his offense is also very good. He scored a lot of key goals in this round of the series. His performance is very mature, which is really surprising."

……

Kobe was praising, and when Phil Jackson talked about the loss in this round of the series, he also mentioned Ling Yang.

"Ling is the x factor in this round of the series. His offensive and defensive performance exceeded our expectations. This is not in our prepared response plan before the season."

Even the opponents are praising it, and the media from all walks of life, especially the Huaxia Media and Phoenix Media, are even more so.

After the fourth game, the outside world almost praised Sun and Ling Yang.

Especially Ling Yang, with his outstanding performance against Kobe in this round of the series, left a deep and deep impression on many media reporters and fans.

Amidst the praise, the Suns team returned to Phoenix. In the next second round, whether against the Clippers or the Nuggets, they also have home court advantage.

On the third day after Ling Yang returned to Phoenix with the team, the league began to announce the selection results of various honors in this season's regular season.
