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

A good start was made, and the atmosphere in the locker room after the game was very good for the Suns.

Of course, the smell is not so good.

After all, a group of big men were sweating, plus a dozen pairs of feet that had taken off their basketball shoes.

Ling Yang still remembers the first time he experienced this kind of scene in the summer league, it was so difficult to describe in words.

Fortunately, this kind of time will not last long, because everyone will soon go to take a shower to change clothes and shoes.

At this time, he was also ready to take a shower and change clothes.

"Hey, Ling, come for an interview. How do you feel after completing your debut?"

At this moment, Marion, who was sitting next door, smiled and held a drink bottle as a microphone and asked in front of him.

"very good!"

Ling Yang replied solemnly.

"I did five dunks, got 5 points, shot 10 percent and most importantly, the team won.

If the last two damn free throws can be scored, it will be even more perfect! "

In fact, before the end of the third quarter, Ling Yang caused damage inside and got two free throws. He thought he could score one of his 68 free throws, but he might be excited, and finally missed both free throws.

"It's really great." Marion smiled meaningfully.

"I remember today in 99, it was also here that I got my first chance to play."

When Ling Yang heard that Marion seemed to have a story to tell, he immediately looked over curiously. To be honest, he knew that Marion was mainly concerned with the running and bombing era of the Suns after Nash's return, and he didn't know much about Marion's rookie period.

At this time, Marion continued: "In that game, I started the game, and then scored 14 points and 14 rebounds!"

Are you polite?

Ling Yang gave Marion a blank look, isn't this here to hit people?

Seeing Ling Yang's eyes, Marion suddenly laughed, and said instead:

"Ling, I have one thing to say, your performance is really good. You must know that I played 35 minutes in that game, and my shooting percentage was only about 4%. Of course, there is another bad thing that I lost."

Hearing what Marion said, a smile finally appeared on Ling Yang's face again.

However, he also knew that if he was really allowed to play for 35 minutes, his efficiency would naturally not be so high. You must know that the Mavericks on the opposite side are not fools.

Among my 10 points, 8 points were obtained because the Mavericks didn't know me very well when I first played.

"Of course not bad!"

Just when Ling Yang was thinking this way, Steve Nash, who had already got up, walked over.

"Ling, do you know how I performed in my first game?"

Nash's words not only made Ling Yang curious, but also made everyone in the locker room look over.

Nash said with an expression of reminiscence: "I remember very clearly that the game was also in this arena, and our opponent was the Lakers who had just signed the Sharks.

That guy did whatever he wanted inside us, and we lost the game without a doubt.

And I only played 5 minutes in the garbage time at the end, Ling, the same time you played in the second quarter of the game.It's just that, except for my playing time, all the data are 0. "

As if afraid that everyone would not understand, Nash emphasized it again at this time.

"Yes, all the data is 0, I have no points, assists, rebounds, steals, oh yes, I made a shot and hit the basket."

At this time, Nash had a smile on his face.

"However, I thought it was pretty good at the time. You have to know that Kobe Bryant sat on the bench for 48 minutes in this game. He didn't get a chance to play for 1 minute."

After everyone heard it, there was a smile on their faces.

To be honest, this was probably ten years ago.

If Nash hadn't mentioned it, young players in the locker room would rarely pay attention to such details at that time.

Speaking of this, Nash stopped and looked at Ling Yang, with an expression of appreciation on his face and said:

"So, Ling, you are indeed a basketball genius.

I'm not just talking about your physical talent, but you can adapt to the rhythm of the game so quickly in the first NBA game.

God, it's so stupid for someone to come up with something that you didn't play before.

You were born for basketball! "

After Nash finished speaking, almost all Suns players and coaching staff members nodded.

Ling Yang's performance today is outstanding, but it is naturally impossible to say that he is so outstanding that he overwhelms everyone.

But considering that Ling Yang is only a second-round pick, and more importantly, he had no experience in major basketball games before joining the NBA. What is this kind of performance not a genius?

Because I have a system!

Listening to Nash's praise, Ling Yang answered silently in his heart.

The systematic training space allowed him to adapt to the NBA game very quickly, and he was also able to familiarize himself with the tactics of other teams.

This is the magic weapon for him to really gain a foothold in the NBA quickly.

Given his state during the draft, although he is full of talent, Ling Yang is really not sure whether he will be in the Suns' locker room or in the Development League.

"Thank you, Steve!" Smiling, Ling Yang said seriously.

"However, the NBA never lacks talent, if you want to gain a foothold in the NBA, you are our role model!

Enduring loneliness, earnestly learning experience, constantly honing skills, waiting for the moment when the cocoon becomes a butterfly, and then like today, leading the team to victory every night. "

Ling Yang's words were indeed made out of feelings. Nash's entry into the league has not been smooth, whether he was in the Suns at the beginning or later in the Mavericks.

Until he returned to the Suns last summer, he began to find his true self and carried the team forward.

Just like tonight, although Ling Yang's performance tonight is amazing for a newcomer.

However, Nash is undoubtedly the biggest contributor to winning this game.

In the new season without Stoudemire, in the face of a strong team like the Mavericks, Nash scored a team-high and a game-high 33 points, and also contributed 13 assists!

Nash, who was praising Ling Yang, also showed a smile on his face after listening to Ling Yang's words. He could hear the praise in the words, but the key point is, what Ling Yang said was very reasonable!

Nash looked around for a week, glanced at a few fringe players who had no chance to play today, and encouraged:

"What Ling said is exactly what I want to say to everyone. Come on guys, everyone has a chance, as long as we can calm down and keep improving ourselves."

"Okay, boss, we learn from you!"

"Steve, I will train hard!"

……

In the locker room, there was a sudden answer.

Nash was very satisfied after hearing this, and went to the bathroom without saying anything more.

"What a surprise, obviously I praised Ling, but then everyone seemed to gain energy."

Nash was thinking in his heart as he walked out.

As the leader of the team, Nash is now full of cohesion, and the younger generations all regard him as a role model. This is obviously a situation he is happy to see.

Then, he realized that this topic seemed to be turned by Ling Yang, and he was even more satisfied with Ling Yang, the little brother.

So, after returning to the locker room, Nash took the initiative to suggest to D'Antoni that Ling Yang attend the post-match press conference together.

And Nash's reason is also very simple. Ling Yang's performance in this game was very good. He got the highest plus/minus value in the game, and his debut was very impressive.

For Nash's suggestion, D'Antoni has no reason to refuse.

Therefore, Ling Yang was notified very quickly, and together with D'Antoni, Nash, and Marion, attended the press conference after the regular season opener.

And Ling Yang who got the news was also a little bit confused, isn't this the treatment only given to the bosses of the team?

Surprised, Ling Yang obeyed the team's arrangement.

As for dealing with those reporters at the press conference, it couldn't be easier for Ling Yang.

Anyway, pick it up and talk about it, that's not a problem.

And his perfect and tactful answer also relieved the Sun spokesperson who was a little worried that the newcomers would not be able to face this situation.

Therefore, Ling Yang inexplicably got another person's favor.

He is becoming more and more popular with the team.
