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

The Suns' first back-to-back opponent is the Charlotte Hornets.

Charlotte, this is Ling Yang's first time here, and there are some familiar people.

Chris Paul, this can be regarded as one of the players that Lingyang has contacted the most in the Chicago joint training camp.

Chris Paul is also very familiar with Ling Yang, and even still has a fresh memory of Ling Yang's performance in the physical test and competition.

During the warm-up period before the start of the game, Brother Pao took the initiative to find Ling Yang, and after a good look at him, he asked in disbelief:

"Ling, were you serious when you played in the group match?"

To be honest, I watched Ling Yang gain a firm foothold in the NBA quickly.

Even now he is on the team's starting lineup like himself, Paul is very suspicious, if Ling Yang was playing himself when he was in the training camp.

"Of course!"

Ling Yang knew exactly what Paul was thinking, and said to himself with a smile:

"Man, you forgot, I'm full of talent, not only physical talent, but also golf intelligence."

"Gallery quotient?" Hearing Ling Yang talking about golf quotient, Paul smiled lightly indifferently.

This guy Ling is actually talking about golf quotient in front of him?

Looking at Paul's smile, Ling Yang really wanted to bless him every day 58, but after thinking about it, it was still too vicious.

So, Ling Yang smiled and said to the other party: "Chris, do you know the lucky number 58?"

"58? Lucky number?" Chris Paul was at a loss.

Then he asked Ling Yang very happily: "Ling, is this your lucky number in China?"

"That's not true!" Ling Yang quickly denied it, joking, how could Huaxia afford such a thing as the 58 cannon.

"I heard a legend in a small village before. If you recite this number often, good luck will come."

Paul nodded happily after hearing this, "It seems very interesting, 58! 58! 58!"

"Hey, Ling, I've read it three times, something good will definitely happen tonight, like winning the game.

Don't worry, man, in the game, I'm not really going to knock you down or anything like they say.

Ha, I can only... wear crotch! "

Paul laughed straight away.

Ling Yang felt that it was better to take back the kindness just now.

So I said a word silently in my heart.

I hope 58 will always be with you!

"Chris, good luck tonight!"

Ling Yang finished speaking to the confident Paul, and then went to warm up.

He could see that both Paul and the Hornets were more confident in this game.

Obviously, the Suns who are short of major generals and have lost two consecutive games, in the eyes of everyone, are no longer the invincible Suns of last season, nor the excellent Suns during the eight-game winning streak.

During the warm-up phase, Ling Yang was seriously practicing layups and free throws, and the rest of the Suns players were also extremely serious.

Paul's Hornets are not considered a strong team in the West right now.

However, the Suns have temporarily lost Kurt Thomas, and they have just experienced two consecutive losses, and they are still back to back. Obviously, no one in the team wants to be careless.

...Because they experienced two rounds and three consecutive losses before the season, they don't want to experience it again.

After the warm-up was over, Nash took the initiative to call all the players to cheer.

"go! suns!"

Nash, who has always been quiet before the opening, took the initiative to clenched his fists and shouted.

"go! suns!"

After shouting together with his teammates, Ling Yang and several starting players walked onto the field together.

The Suns are a purely small lineup, with Dior partnering with Marion inside, small forward Ling Yang, shooting guard Raja Bell, and point guard Steve Nash.

For the Hornets, the center is PJ Brown, a defensive center, and the power forward is David West, who has not yet grown into an All-Star.

Small forward Desmond Mason, the All-Star dunk champion in 01, is another player with the best physical fitness.

Ling Yang found that at the small forward position, he always seemed to be able to meet some players with excellent athletic ability.

The shooting guard is jr-Smith, who has not yet been called a nerve knife, and the current jr is also a guy who flies into the sky and escapes from the ground.

The point guard is naturally Chris Paul.

Overall, this Hornets are very young and very impactful.

Although this kind of impact is different from that of the Mavericks, it is also very challenging for the Suns in this lineup.

The jump ball was Marion and PJ-Brown. The difference in height between the two was nearly 10 centimeters, but after the referee's whistle sounded, Marion jumped up and threw the ball into Nash's hands.

Nash quickly dribbled the ball to the half court, but instead of starting from the pick-and-roll that the Suns are best at, he handed the ball to Diaw who mentioned the free throw line.

Ling Yang and Marion were covering in the middle distance on both sides, while Nash and Raja Bell, who had just passed the ball, ran quickly.

In the first round of the Suns, they were not as aggressive as the previous games, and the space was very small.

This surprised the Hornets players on the field.

And when Nash and Bell ran out of the three-point line one after another with the help of cover, Ling Yang and Marion moved quickly, one facing in and the other facing outward.

The Suns originally looked at a very small offensive space, but at this moment it suddenly expanded.

The Hornets' line of defense followed immediately.

"Basket!"

At this time, the Hornets players suddenly realized this.

David West, who was following Marion to go outside, turned his head and saw that Ling Yang had thrown away Mason and cut towards the basket.

David West immediately stopped his outward steps and quickly moved towards the basket to supplement the defense.

As David West expected, Dior's ball was passed to Ling Yang who was cutting in.

David West immediately moved to the three-second zone and stood firm, ready to stop Ling Yang from attacking the basket.

However, what he didn't expect was that.

When Ling Yang was half a step away from West, he stopped the car directly.

"The coach's offensive tactics are indeed accurate!"

While thinking this way, Ling Yang also pushed the ball out of his hand.

In the bottom corner on the left, Marion is directly open at this moment!

After catching the ball, he pushed his hands in front of his chest, and Marion threw the ball in a beautiful posture.

... "Shua!"

Ling Yang assisted Marion and hit a three-pointer!

Looking at this scene on the court, D'Antoni couldn't help but smile.

He is 100% sure that the Hornets never imagined that Ling Yang, who averaged 0.5 assists per game, would be the tactical executor in the first round.

In fact, as he expected, the Sun's tactics were executed perfectly.

As for Ling Yang's general passing vision and passing ability, in such a very specific tactic, it can be fully compensated by mechanical training.

The Hornets didn't have much feeling about the Suns' first offensive round.

After serving from the baseline, the ball was handed over to Paul. At this time, Paul, who had just entered the league, was not yet a big point guard, so his round share and assists were not that high.

Even sometimes, it also serves as the task of holding the ball across the half court.

For example, now, when he came outside the three-point line, he saw David West in the paint and immediately passed the ball.

Ling Yang, who was originally defending Mason in the bottom corner, chose to double-team without hesitation.

Before the game, Gentry, who was in charge of the team's defense, made a special analysis with the players.

The current Hornets team's outside ability is very average. Among the four starting players, except for JR Smith's three-point shooting rate of about 4%, the rest of the three-point shooting rate is less than 37%.

Mason, as a small forward with excellent physical fitness, likes to hit the basket the most.

Although he has been able to average more than 14 points per game in recent seasons, and even averaged 17.2 points per game last season, he took a total of 8 three-pointers and hit one.

Ling Yang estimated that the opponent's three-point ability is probably not much higher than his own.

In this case, Ling Yang's pincer attack is very reassuring.

As soon as David West received the ball, he was surrounded by four long arms, and he panicked.

He didn't expect that the Suns' double-teaming was so resolute, holding the ball high, and throwing it directly at Mason.

The ball was in his hands as if it were a hot potato.

But Mason was quickly entangled by Ling Yang who returned to defend, and the ball was forced to return to Paul's hands.

Paul continued to look for passing opportunities, but found that the Suns' defense this round was simply impenetrable.

When the ball was still in his hands in the last 5 seconds, Paul realized that the best chance of co-authoring was to face Nash himself?

So, Paul used his body that hadn't gained weight, carried Nash and rushed into the three-point line.

A pull-up jumper, solid... hit the iron.

"Hell, even Nash is so active defensively."

Paul was astonished.

Obviously, the Hornets did not expect the Suns, who had experienced two three-game losing streaks before the season, to resist the three-game losing streak.

And just as he was thinking this way, Nash had already rushed to the open space to receive the pass from Marion, and then dribbled the ball towards the other side.

In front, Ling Yang and Bell had already stepped down quickly.

When Nash dribbled the ball beyond the three-point line, Ling Yang once again used his excellent off-ball running to get rid of Mason and go straight to the basket.

The Gap Hunter Badge allows Ling Yang to get a better chance when cutting towards the basket.

...Pj-Brown, who had just retreated beyond the three-point line, rushed towards the basket, and the rest of the Hornets players were also attracted by Ling Yang at this moment.

JR Smith turned his head to look at Ling Yang, but didn't notice that Bell had already moved from outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle towards the bottom corner.

Outside the three-second zone, Ling Yang has already received the pass from Nash.

Meilin took a step close to the side, Ling Yang only needs to force himself at this time, and he will be able to get a chance to attack the basket.

But at this time, D'Antoni's special words before the game rang in his ears.

"Ling, when you rush to the inside to receive the ball, pay attention to whether there is a teammate in the corner in front of your line of sight, or if there is a teammate moving away from the defender and moving in this direction, if so, pass the ball!"

As a player who has been praised by D'Antoni for his excellent ability to execute tactics, Ling Yang raised his head at this moment.

Then, he saw Raja Bell.

Pass the ball!

Ling Yang almost didn't even think about it, and just stuffed a ball in the past.

At this time, JR Smith realized that the player he was defending ran away and rushed over.

However, it's too late.

After receiving the ball, Raja Bell made a decisive three-pointer!

"Shh!"

The ball hits again!

Paul went to catch the ball near the baseline, but his eyes were full of confusion and he looked at Ling Yang who was running past him, and his heart was beeping.

Don't you have dizziness?

Sun scored two consecutive three-pointers at the beginning, and these two three-pointers came from Ling Yang's assist?

A person who averaged 0.5 assists per game became the organizer of the team?Sending out 2 assists in a row at the beginning?

Which of us is the point guard?
