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

Ling Yang wanted to play a game, and the alliance made a proper arrangement.

On the third day after Christmas, the Sun ushered in the penultimate game of December, an away game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

In this game, facing the Timberwolves led by Garnett, the league's top power forward, the Suns played very hard.

In fact, after losing core players one after another, the Timberwolves are far less competitive than they were two years ago.

However, in this game, Garnett directly blasted the Suns inside.

In the whole game, the Wolf King scored 28 points and 20 rebounds with double 20 data, including as many as 8 offensive rebounds.

In the end, the two teams fought 92:97, and the Suns lost to their opponents by 5 points.

The Suns, who had just won 2 consecutive victories, suffered a loss.

And then, the Suns met the Wizards again.

The two teams played against each other just this month. The Wizards ended the Suns' eight-game winning streak, and Kurt Thomas was injured in that game.

Against the Wizards at home, the Suns are full of determination to win this game.

The game was extremely intense from the first second. Ling Yang and Marion, two players who did not perform well due to fouls in the previous duel, were called positive after the game.

The two played various defenses on the front line, which put a lot of pressure on the Wizards players.

In the end, the score was fixed at 97:110, and the Suns won the game by 13 points and took revenge.

After the last game in December, the Suns' record became 12 wins and 17 losses.

This kind of record brought the Suns, who had some twists and turns at the beginning of the season, back to the front line, ranking fifth in the Western Conference. In fact, their winning percentage can be ranked fourth in the Western Conference.

In the nba in the past two years, the record ranking rules are not ranked according to winning percentage as everyone thinks.

After the Bobcats joined the NBA, the league divided the 30 teams into six divisions, three in each east and west.

And the ranking rules at this time, the top three in the West are taken from the first place in the three divisions of the Western Pacific, Northwest, and Southwest, and then the order is determined based on the records of the three teams.

If you can't rank first in the division, then no matter how good your results are, you can only start from fourth in the West.

For example, the Mavericks had a record of 58 wins and 24 losses last season, which is much better than the Seattle SuperSonics' 52 wins and 30 losses.

However, because the Sonics ranked first in the Northwest Division, and the Mavericks' Southwest Division has a 59-23 Spurs, the Mavericks cannot rank first.

Therefore, in the Western Conference rankings, the Mavericks are ranked fourth behind the Supersonics.

Now the sun is also facing this situation.

The current number one in the West is still the Spurs in the Southwest. They have played the most games in the West and have the best record of 23 wins and 7 losses.

The competition in the Northwest Division is weaker. The Timberwolves ranked first with 14 wins and 13 losses, but the Timberwolves can only rank third in the West.

Because of the Pacific region where the Suns are located, the Clippers have a higher record of 18 wins and 10 losses than the Timberwolves.

Immediately afterwards, the No.221 Mavericks in the Southwest Division ranked fourth.

Then there is the Suns with 17 wins and 10 losses.

Because of their divisions, although the Mavericks and Suns have better records than the Timberwolves, the two teams can only rank fourth and fifth respectively.

The Suns' first opponent in January 2006 was the Los Angeles Clippers, who were also in the Pacific region, first in the division and second in the West.

... If the Suns can defeat the Clippers, they will win the team's 19th game. At the same time, they will also give the Clippers a loss. In this way, the Suns will rank ahead of the Clippers and take the No. [-] position in the Pacific Region.

And if the Suns can't win this victory, they will naturally have to stay obediently in their current position.

Considering that the competitiveness of the Northwest Division is not strong, it means that this is a game where whoever wins will secure the second place in the West!

Everyone in the sun knows the importance of this game, so the day before the game, the team also deliberately summed up some shortcomings of the last few games during training.

Moreover, some targeted arrangements were made for the Clippers' game.

"Rebounds! Sean, Boris, Ling, you must protect the rebounds! This is the guarantee for us to get more chances to counterattack!

The Clippers are the league's No. [-] team in rebounding, and we need more energy in rebounding! "

"Run! The ball doesn't stagnate! Watch out for your teammates running in the corner!"

"Ling, you need to hit the offensive rebounds more! Use your excellent athletic ability to bring more second-attack opportunities for the team!"

.........

During team training, Ling Yang could hear head coach D'Antoni and chief assistant coach Gentry calling his name from time to time.

Ling Yang is also earnestly doing his own thing on the court according to the coach's request.

After finishing the training in the team, Ling Yang returned to his apartment and began to think about the games during this period and the next games.

From the start against the Nuggets to the present, in more than a month, 17 games have been played.

In these 17 games, Ling Yang, relying on his fairly stable performance on both offensive and defensive ends, secured his starting position and helped the team achieve good results.

In these 17 games, Ling Yang naturally gained some experience points, but he never added any ability points.

The reason is that Ling Yang found his position in the starting lineup, but he didn't think about which direction to improve himself for a while.

But now, Ling Yang felt the need to improve himself.

With Kurt Thomas injured, the team's roster changed again.

How to improve himself and at the same time help the team better, this is what Ling Yang thinks.

After logging into the system, Ling Yang was thinking about checking his ability value.

"Ding! The system has completed the phase detection and adjusted the ability value. Do you want to check it?"

Ling Yang was a little confused, not sure what the so-called stage detection of the system refers to, but he clicked to view it anyway.

"Phase detection: Due to the host's participation in high-level competitions and high-intensity training, it is detected that the ability value of the host has improved to a certain extent, and the host's ability value has been adjusted and corrected. (Note: The stage detection is normally carried out once every two months. can trigger phase detection.)"

After reading this description, Ling Yang immediately understood what it meant.

In other words, during this period of time, some of my abilities have also been improved through competitions and high-intensity training.

In this way, some of my abilities have been higher than the values ​​previously assessed by the system, so the system has adjusted it according to my actual situation.

…. Ling Yang also thought at this time, in fact, such a situation happened once before.

Before the start of the regular season, I have been practicing dribbling and running and free throws, and both ability values ​​have been adjusted.

Good thing!This means that I have improved in competition and training during this period, and this progress can be measured.

After understanding, Ling Yang immediately began to check happily.

Offense: 66 near shots, 25 mid-range shots, 25 three-pointers, 82 free throws (80), 66 layups (65), 99 dunks, 50 dribbles (49), 45 left-handed dribbles, 37 passes, 28 pass vision (25).

防守：有球防守82（80），协防82（80），进攻篮板53，防守篮板80，封盖81（80），抢断81（80）。

身体素质：弹跳99、速度99、敏捷99、力量81（80）、体力90、韧性99。

Ling Yang soon saw several changed ability values.

Free throws have increased from 80 to 82. Among all his offenses during this period, he has practiced free throws the most, and his ability value has increased by 2 points.

The layup has increased from 65 to 66. Ling Yang is also practicing on this part intentionally. He usually practices full-court sprints and half-court cuts to the basket. Now Ling Yang basically does not dunk, only layups, just to improve his layup ability.

The dribble continued to rise, reaching 50. What surprised Ling Yang was the passing vision. Although it is still relatively low, it has increased by 3 points.

But soon Ling Yang figured it out. The Suns' tactics used a lot of passing and cutting. Although his passing ability is not very good, he often participates in the tactics.

For example, in the previous game against the Hornets, D'Antoni deliberately arranged a few tactics for cutting the ball himself.

In this way, it is normal for his passing vision to improve.

It's not surprising that Ling Yang didn't improve his shooting. He really didn't practice much, and basically didn't practice three-pointers and mid-range shots.

Because the foundation is really too low, the time cost of practice is too high, and the effect is very general.

Ling Yang felt that if he wanted to improve his shooting, it might be that he needed a lot of experience points, and then he would make a big improvement, and practice would be more effective.

Fortunately, Ling Yang is not in a hurry.

To be honest, the Suns really have no shortage of people who can shoot.

Ling Yang is now able to start in the Suns, not because of shooting.

On the defensive end, several ability values ​​have also been improved, and the ability to defend with the ball and assist defense has increased from 80 to 82.

This should be related to the relatively high level of exercise I have obtained in recent confrontation training and games. After all, the defensive tasks I undertake are still a bit heavy.

At the same time, the blocking and stealing ability values ​​have also increased from 80 to 81, which makes Ling Yang quite satisfied. After all, these two items can not only bring pressure to offensive players, but also bring statistics to himself.

Physical fitness has also improved, and strength has increased by 1.

However, in Ling Yang's view, physical fitness is actually the most difficult thing to improve, and strength has increased by 1 point, which is also the result of training during this period.

After seeing these changed ability values, Ling Yang felt elated.

This is just for self-improvement during this period of time. The key is that there are still experience points in the system that have not been used yet.

Ling Yang also checked the experience points at this time, 410 points.

In the starting game against the Nuggets, Ling Yang's experience point was once only 1 point, but now, through the accumulation of more than a dozen games, it has reached 410 points.

….Ling Yang also took a look at his own statistics. In 17 games since his start, he has scored 184 points in total and averaged 10.8 points per game.

145 total rebounds, 8.5 per game, 34 total steals, 2 steals per game, 29 blocks per game, 1.7 blocks per game, 17 assists per game, 1 assist per game.

I don't know if I don't see it, I'm startled when I see it.

Ling Yang found that his performance in the starting lineup, among the rookies this year, was the one with the absolute best statistics. After all, he averaged 10.8 points and 8.5 rebounds per game.

Of course, there are some sacrifices of teammates' data behind this. Marion and Kurt Thomas, two insiders with excellent rebound awareness, are also an important reason why Lingyang can gain some rebounds.

The injury of Kurt Thomas is also another reason why Lingyang's rebound data can be improved.

Relatively speaking, Dior is not so active in grabbing rebounds, and Ling Yang is more active, so he can harvest more rebounds.

However, because the first 10 games of the season did not start the game data is not so bright.

Therefore, in the first two months, Ling Yang's scoring average was just 10 points per game, and his rebounding ability was not improved in the first 10 games, and he had few grabs, so the average was only 6.8 per game, 1.85 steals, and 1.63 blocks. It was 0.77 times, and the assists were even less, [-] times.

However, Ling Yang knows that these 10 games will have a greater impact on the two-month data, but if he plays 82 games, the impact on the average data will be even smaller.

What's more, as the game progresses and one's ability value improves, the data will definitely increase.

Now, there is another opportunity to improve the ability value.

Ling Yang also began to think again about how to increase his experience points.

If you consider it purely from a personal point of view, Ling Yang thinks that both offense and defense can be added. If offense is added, the increase in statistics may be more obvious?

But it's not necessarily true. The Suns now score more points, and their positioning in the team is more defensive. Even if their shooting ability improves, the number of shots will not necessarily increase greatly.

After all, in a team, there are certain rules for the distribution of offensive power.

However, adding defense does not mean that the data will not increase.

Ling Yang set his sights on the rebound.

In these games without Kurt Thomas, the biggest problem for the Suns is inside.

Among them, rebounding is a very important point.

For example, against the Timberwolves, Garnett blew up on the rebounds, allowing the opponent to grab 20 rebounds and 8 offensive rebounds.

I now have 53 offensive rebounds and 80 defensive rebounds. The defensive rebounds are not bad, but the offensive rebounds seem too low.

Looking at his 410 experience points, Ling Yang gritted his teeth and finally decided, rebound!

His help defense is 82, which is not bad, and the help defense support he can bring to the team is not small.

And if the rebounding ability is improved, it can not only make up for the weakness of Kurt Thomas not being in the team, but the rebounding data will also increase experience points, which is beneficial to both the team and himself.

After making a decision, Ling Yang began to add points.

53 offensive rebounds, first increase to 60, because the base value is low and the ability value needs 1 experience points for each increase of 30, which costs 210 points.

….Looking at the remaining 200 experience points, Ling Yang blinked, isn't this a coincidence?

If the ability value is in the range of 60 to 80, the ability value increases by 1, and only 10 experience points are needed.

Stud, all plus offensive rebounds.

Offensive rebounds also increased from 60 to 80 in an instant!

At this time, Ling Yang will look at his ability value again.

Offense: 66 near shots, 25 mid-range shots, 25 three-pointers, 82 free throws, 66 layups, 99 dunks, 50 dribbles, 45 left-handed dribbles, 37 passes, and 28 pass vision.

Defense: 82 ball defense, 82 assist defense, 80 offensive rebounds, 80 defensive rebounds, 81 blocked shots, and 81 steals.

身体素质：弹跳99、速度99、敏捷99、力量81、体力90、韧性99。

"The defensive ability value has been fully improved!

"

Ling Yang nodded in satisfaction. Although his defensive ability was not at full strength, he had basically improved every item. Coupled with his own physical fitness, it was definitely enough for his opponent to drink a pot.

There is also the rebounding ability value, double 80, Dior and Marion are not the kind of people who especially ask their teammates to let their rebounds. They average double rebounds per game, should they be able to do it?

Thinking of this, Ling Yang shook his head.

That's not right, I originally wanted to be Jordan, why did I feel like I was going to be Rodman?

Rodman is Rodman!

I am based on defense in the team, even if D'Antoni doesn't care about defense so much, he recognizes this.

Because the head coach also sees himself on the court, Nash will have less pressure on the defensive end and can better organize the offense.

Then I simply do the best on this point!

Maybe, I can attack the best defensive player first to try?

It seems to be a good choice to make all offensive players have a headache when they see themselves!

Ling Yang thought cheerfully, then took a shower, rested, and prepared for tomorrow's crucial game that will determine the ranking in the Western Conference!

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