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

Ling Yang first did some warm-up training in the gym, and then his teammates arrived one after another.

After D'Antoni arrived with the coaching staff, everyone came to the video room together.

For any NBA team, watching game videos in the video room and then analyzing and deploying tactics is a very important link.

So the players actually spend a lot of time in this place.

Let’s watch the Heat game first. In fact, everyone in the Suns team also watched the Heat’s previous Eastern Conference finals.

However, at that time, probably no other Suns player except Lingyang would have thought that the Heat could eliminate the Pistons and enter the finals.

So when we first watched the game, everyone actually preferred to watch the excitement and did not analyze it in depth.

But it's different now. The Heat are their opponents in the finals, so naturally we have to watch the Heat's performance from another perspective.

The Heat's games are obviously carefully selected by D'Antoni, Gentry and others, mainly some important games in the second round of the playoffs and the Western Conference finals, as well as the regular season games between the Suns and the Heat.

Some of these games were won by the Heat, and some were lost, naturally to see the Heat's strengths and weaknesses.

After watching the video of each game, everyone in the Suns has a deeper understanding of the Heat's style and strength.

"Defend the strong and attack the weak! This is our judgment of the overall strength of the Sun. Of course, it is only relative..."

Gentry is the one who does tactical analysis, and many coaching staffs in the NBA do this.

During the early analysis, each assistant coach took turns to play, and then when the final tactics were finalized, the head coach made the decision.

"The Heat's defense is top-notch, especially positional defense, which is far underestimated by the rest of the league. This is the key to their ability to win. At the same time, their offensive ability is relatively weak, especially the lack of shooting ability of their core players. This is their Samples."

"In terms of personnel configuration, the Heat's advantage is that they have many veteran stars with rich experience. They have a high probability of breaking out in key ball handling and key games."

Ling Yang was listening carefully, especially when he heard Gentry say this, he couldn't help but nodded.

He remembered that in the previous Finals, people like Payton, Mourning, and Williams were often able to stand up in key games.

"Of course, this configuration also has disadvantages." D'Antoni couldn't help but speak.

"That is the lack of athletic ability. If there is any team in the league that can cause them the most headaches, I believe it must be our Phoenix Suns. Therefore, it is crucial to play the offensive rhythm..."

After a while of analysis, D'Antoni and Gentry set a general tactical strategy for the Suns.

On offense, resolutely play a fast pace and give full play to the run and gun tactics, so that the Heat's older lineup must be overwhelmed.

At the same time, on defense, the main focus is to protect the inside line, with the focus on protecting the three-second zone. To this end, some adjustments may be needed in the lineup.

Kurt Thomas is going to return to the starting lineup. Although O'Neal has begun to decline, his power is still there.

Especially in the early stage when physical strength is abundant, it is still extremely lethal.

In the current Suns, only Kurt Thomas has good low-post defensive capabilities.

If Stoudemire is asked to carry O'Neal for a whole game, regardless of the effect, the consumption of Stoudemire will be huge.

As for who will be on the bench after Kurt Thomas starts, D'Antoni's coaching staff has not made it clear.

So during the next day's training, the Suns' coaching staff was constantly trying to put Ling Yang, Marion, Stoudemire, and Bell on the bench.

In the end, D'Antoni first chose Bell to keep his starting position. As the team's best three-point shooter this season, if Bell is placed on the bench, it will have a great impact on the Suns' tactics.

The tactical functions of Lingyang, Marion, and Stoudemire actually have some overlap, especially on the offensive end.

However, Marion's one-handed three-pointer can still be used occasionally, so putting one of Lingyang and Stoudemire on the bench is a better choice at this stage.

Considering that Ling Yang is better than Stoudemire in holding the ball, especially in counterattacks, and is less dependent on Nash, D'Antoni finally decided to let Ling Yang play the role of the sixth man.

After the coaching staff approached Ling Yang, Ling Yang agreed without any hesitation.

It is said that he comes on the bench, but Lingyang can serve as a substitute for Stoudemire, Marion and Bell, and his playing time will definitely not be less.

After clarifying his tactics, Ling Yang also thought about the direction in which he would strengthen.

In terms of defensive counterattacks, Lingyang believes that he can handle it well enough. With his increasingly strong dribbling ability and excellent physical fitness, it will be difficult for anyone to defend if he really wants to attack the whole court. .

The direction of improvement is still the scoring ability in positional offense.

With this thought in mind, Ling Yang entered the system and looked at his experience points.

Before the start of the second round of the playoffs, after improving the ball-handling ability, there were still 85 points left. In the second round of the series, we got 237 points together, and in the Western Conference finals, we got 330 points, so the total is 652 points. .

In the seventh game, because it wanted to defend Nowitzki, Lingyang increased its strength and used 120 points. Now there are 532 points left.

Immediately afterwards, Ling Yang looked at his various attributes.

Offense: 90 close shots, 28 mid-range shots, 25 three-pointers, 85 free throws, 92 layups, 99 dunks, 70 dribbling, 70 left-handed dribbling, 38 passing, 32 passing vision.

Defense: 99 individual defense, 86 assist defense, 91 offensive rebounds, 90 defensive rebounds, 90 blocks, 90 steals.

身体素质：弹跳99、速度99、敏捷99、力量81、体力90、韧性99。

Skills: Throwing (top/excellent, note: dress up with the S-level Throwing Master Medal, upgrade one level), change hands in front of the body (average/top: insufficient dribbling ability, average performance)

Badges: S-level death coil, A-level gap hunter, A-level terminator, S-level throwing master, S-level defensive perpetual motion machine, S-level post defense master, S-level difficult shooting king

"At 532 points, adding shooting is actually not very effective. After all, the starting value of shooting attributes is too low."

Ling Yang muttered, thinking about starting from other aspects, but when his eyes glanced at his badge, his eyes lit up.

He gently clicked on the S-level medal Hard Shot King, and an introduction to the badge's functions immediately appeared.

S-Level Badge Difficult Shooting King: You will receive a hit bonus when completing difficult jump shots (such as jump steps, turns, step-backs, emergency stop jump shots).

"My breakthrough ability is absolutely outstanding. It is difficult for them to prevent breakthroughs, but the Heat's defense is very strong, especially in the three-second zone. I want to directly enter the three-second zone like in the Western Conference playoffs." Zone scoring will be more difficult.

The key is finishing ability. If you can make a quick stop jumper..."

The more Ling Yang thought about it, the more it made sense. In fact, he had also been practicing pull-up jump shots recently.

However, the rating given by the system is poor, so the overall hit rate is not high.

My short-range shot itself is 90. If I improve my emergency jump shot rating and add the bonus of the S-level badge, my hit rate should be very impressive!

According to the system skill rating, there are four levels: poor, average, excellent, and top. If you want to improve, the experience points required are 200, 300, and 500 respectively.

With 500 points, you can upgrade your emergency stop jump shot to excellent.

Thinking like this, Ling Yang immediately added 500 points to the emergency jump shot without hesitation!

"One new trick can be used all over the world! Although I only learned this skill, as long as I use it well, it should be enough to surprise the Heat players!"

After exiting the system, Ling Yang couldn't help but laugh.

In the next two days, whether it was training within the team or on his own, Ling Yang spent a lot of time and energy on emergency stop jump shots, and the results were very satisfying to Ling Yang!

The adjusted lineup of the Suns has also been adjusted quickly. Both the Suns and Lingyang have prepared everything they need to prepare, and the next step is to welcome the arrival of the finals!
