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

"Suns! suns!

"

In the first game in January, the Suns host the Clippers.

In the Phoenix West Arena, the enthusiastic shouts of the Suns fans echoed in the arena!

Ling Yang is now preparing to make his debut with his teammates.

As starters, they will be grandly introduced.

At this time, behind the technical stage, the Suns' on-site commentator "Voice of the Sun" El McCaw Yin and his partner Eddie Johnson were also introducing the starting players of the two teams to the Suns fans in front of the screen.

"The Clippers' starter, center, the 03th pick in the first round of 6, Chris Kaman, who is 2 meters tall.

Power forward, the core of the team, the No. 99 pick in 2, the captain Elton Brand with a height of 03 meters.

Small forward, the team's top scorer, the 99th overall pick in 13, 1 meters tall with the best physical fitness... Corey Maggette.

Shooting guard, just joined the team this season, the old cat Katim Mobley with a height of 1 meters.

Point guard, the team's All-Star guard, Sam Cassell, who is 1 meters tall. "

After El McCaw Yin introduced the Clippers' starting lineup, Eddie Johnson immediately followed up with the introduction:

"The Phoenix Suns, they're still playing the same starting lineup they used in previous games.

Boris Diaw, Sean Marion, Ling Yang, Raja Bell, Steve Nash! "

After introducing the starting lineup, Eddie Johnson turned to El McCaw Yin and asked:

"El, the NBA in December was a bit crazy. Except for Kobe who scored 12 points in 3 quarters, LeBron, Vince Carter, and AI all scored 62 points in a single game.

Of course, the Suns are also very good. They once won eight consecutive victories before.

After Kurt Thomas' injury, the Suns have had some trouble, but they seem to have found some ways to deal with it.

So, what do you think their winning code is during their eight-game winning streak and in their most recent wins?How will they continue to maintain this game or in the future? "

El-McCoyin nodded, took the words and said:

"When talking about the Suns' eight-game winning streak, we have to recall when their winning streak started.

In the game against the Nuggets, D'Antoni made adjustments to the lineup. After trying James Jones and Leondro Barbosa to start, the rookie Ling Yang was promoted to the starting position.

We obviously cannot ignore this change in the lineup.

Of course, we cannot say that Ling Yang is the number one contributor to the winning streak. Steve Nash is undoubtedly the key figure. This is true whenever we discuss the Suns.

However, Ling Yang's starting game gave the Phoenix Suns a better chemistry.

His defense on the flanks and protection of rebounds gave the Suns more opportunities to counterattack. At the same time, his ability to assist in defense allowed Steve to reduce the consumption of the defensive end and spend more energy on organizing and sorting out the offense.

Of course, there is also Ling's impact on the basket. His explosive physical fitness can always bring wonderful goals and boost the morale of the entire team. "

"Yes!" Eddie Johnson immediately answered.

"Although D'Antoni has been emphasizing the team's offense, it has to be admitted.

After Ling started, he brought defensive changes and completely activated the Suns' starting lineup. He relieved not only Steve Nash's defensive pressure, but also Kurt and Sean.

... You must know that after Ling started, especially during the eight-game winning streak, Xiao En's offensive efficiency was higher than before. "

"Yes, now, the new difficulty facing the Suns is that their starting center will continue to be absent."

El-McCoyin said:

"With Steve here, I'm not worried about the Suns offense, he can activate everyone's scoring ability.

In fact, since Boris Diaw started, the team's offensive ability in the starting lineup is even better.

On the defensive end, however, Boris Diaw can't replace Kurt Thomas.

And Sean has more tasks to accomplish, so I think Ling will be a very important member.

If the Suns want to maintain a good winning percentage, Ling needs to do more, first of all, to help defend the inside.

In fact, he can do this. Ling has a very good defensive awareness and a positive defensive attitude. More importantly, his physical fitness is very good.

Ling can even fight and compete with the league's top inside players at the basket!

Oh, by the way, there is also a rebound rush!

The protection and rushing of rebounds are very important, because the Los Angeles Clippers are tied with the Miami Heat for the league's first rebounding team.

With Kurt absent, Ling needs to make greater contributions in this regard. "

"El, from your words, I see that there is still hope for Ling's praise." Eddie Johnson saw that the game was about to start, and immediately reminded him.

"So next, let us look forward to the performance of the sun and Ling in this crucial game. The game has begun..."

The game officially begins.

Fans of the Suns discovered that it was Ling Yang who was standing in the center circle and competing with Chris Kaman for the ball.

Although the ownership of the jump ball was not that important at the beginning, the Suns arranged for Ling Yang to jump the ball, which undoubtedly made the Suns fans feel fresh.

But thinking that Ling Yang is the best bouncer in the team, and his height and wingspan are also outstanding, everyone felt that such an arrangement might not be too bad.

"drop!"

Following the referee's whistle, the ball was thrown up, and Ling Yang followed the ball into the air.

Although there was a big difference in height, Ling Yang's excellent bounce speed and bounce made up for all of this. He took the lead to dial the ball, and Ling Yang directly dialed the ball into Nash's hands.

The attack of the sun has officially begun!

"Oh, Ling took the lead to help Phoenix get the ball, Steve pushed forward to launch an offense, and the Suns advanced very fast!"

From the first second, Nash resolutely implemented D'Antoni's tactical philosophy and advanced very quickly.

And several players of the Suns also began to move actively at this time.

Marion and Raja Bell moved to the outside, while Diao and Ling Yang moved to the inside.

Ling Yang found that the Clippers attached great importance to his cutting. Maggette almost didn't look at the outside line, but just stared at him blankly.

Obviously, the Clippers carefully analyzed the Suns before the game.

Knowing that at the beginning of the game, Ling Yang likes to use the opponent's defense line to cut into the inside to attack the basket when the defense line is not fully set up.

Seeing that he had no chance, Ling Yang immediately moved away from the three-second zone.

At this time, Nash's ball was passed to Dior, who also cut in.

…But Dior didn’t penetrate as deep as Ling Yang did. After receiving a pass from Nash, outside the three-second zone one step to the right of the free throw line, Dior jumped up and shot.

Seeing this scene, Kaman, who was recovering the basket, rushed to interfere.

But Ling Yang, who had already left, turned around and quickly rushed back towards the basket.

Determined to make greater contributions to the team in terms of rebounds in the next game, Ling Yang made up his mind that no matter whether his teammates made shots or not, he would actively fight for them.

What if...

"boom!"

As expected, Dior's shot hit the rim, and Ling Yang rushed towards the backboard immediately, and then jumped up to take off the offensive rebound.

Without giving the Clippers players a chance to defend themselves, Ling Yang quickly jumped up after landing, and Ling Yang put the ball to the basket within the three-second zone.

2 hits!

"Good job! Ling grabbed the offensive rebound and hit the second attack!"

Al-McCoyen immediately praised it.

"Listen to the cheers at the scene, this is what the team hopes Ling can do!"

At this time, Ling Yang on the field retreated while secretly feeling emotional in his heart.

"The offensive rebounding ability value of 80 is different! My judgment of the ball's landing point has obviously improved several times compared to before!"

While thinking, Ling Yang stared closely at Corey Maggette not far from him.

As the No. 13 pick in Los Angeles, Corey Maggette has good physical talent. Although his defense is average, his scoring ability is outstanding.

And the scoring methods are very comprehensive, whether it is a breakthrough or an outside offense, he has a skill, and even often falls into the low position and uses his strong body to overwhelm the defensive players.

In Ling Yang's view, Maggette is a player whose strength is greater than his fame.

Maggette has averaged more than 20 points per game in the past two seasons, and last season he averaged 22.2 points per game.

In this era when the average score per game is basically less than 20, considering that there are players like Elton Brand who average more than [-] points per game in the team, Maggate's scoring performance is definitely outstanding.

You know, averaging 22.2 points per game, which was ranked 13th in the league last season.

Like Paul Pierce and Anthony, the impressive scorers also ranked behind him in scoring average last season.

These materials flashed through his mind, and Ling Yang followed closely beside Maggette.

At this time, after Kassel dribbled the ball halfway, Maggette really made a wrong step and mentioned the ball outside the right three-point line.

While following closely, Ling Yang took a glance out of the corner of his eye and found that the other Clippers players had no intention of stepping forward to pick and roll.

"Does this mean you want to fuck me directly?"

At this time, Ling Yang also came to the fore. With 82 on-ball defense and excellent physical fitness, he is not someone who can easily play.

Maggette's so-called excellent physical fitness may not be enough in front of him!

At an arm's length in front of Maggette, Ling Yang's big hands covered the opponent's face, interfering with the opponent's sight. At the same time, his footsteps were ready to move at any time.

Ling Yang is very clear that although Maggette has a certain shooting ability, the opponent's breakthrough is obviously more threatening.

....Sure enough, the next moment, Maggette dribbled a feint, and then directly killed to the right.

"No!"

Ling Yang made an accurate judgment, and his strong body directly blocked Maggette's advancing route.

It made Maggette's footsteps that were just about to start stagnant, and the next moment, Maggette continued to rush forward with all his strength.

"Want to be violent? Let's see if you have the ability!"

Ling Yang pressed against Maggette's side tightly, and moved his steps sideways, seemingly just following, but he didn't lose his position in the slightest.

With the strength of 81, Ling Yang will not suffer any disadvantage against any third position!

Maggette also felt something was wrong at this time.

Why did he rush for a long time without getting a little closer to the basket?

After working for a long time, just running around the three-point line one step at a time?

At this time, Maggette also realized that he wanted to rely on his body to make a strong breakthrough. He immediately stopped and changed direction, flashed a little space, and then rushed to the left.

"No!"

Here, Maggette's footsteps had just moved, and he immediately felt resistance again!

"Pretty defense!"

In the commentary seat, Eddie Johnson couldn't help shouting directly at the moment!

"Ling faced Corey Maggette's breakthrough, and he didn't lose his position at all. Corey Maggette wanted to make a strong shot..."

"Strong shot? When my defense doesn't exist?"

At the same time that Maggette made an emergency stop and took off to shoot, Ling Yang also jumped up high, with his long arms reaching directly to the top of Maggette's head!

Ling Yang's big hand covered Maggette too much, especially the fingers that almost touched the basketball.

"boom!"

The ball bounced out of the basket without accident.

Inside, Marion blocked Brand and received the rebound.

This is a point that D'Antoni particularly emphasized before the start of the game, protecting the backboards and increasing the counterattack speed.

This time, the Sun's counterattack was successfully fought.

Marion rushed forward with the ball and gave the ball to Nash from outside the three-point line. Marion himself cut in and then received the ball from Nash again. hit.

Going back to the other side, the Clippers played the inside with clear tactics, and it was not for Brand, but for Chris Kaman.

Kaman used his height to beat Dior in the paint and scored 2 points.

For this shot, because Brand and Maggette stretched too wide, neither Ling Yang nor Marion had time to step forward to help defend.

The Clippers, who scored a goal, retreated very timely this time, and the Suns were forced to fall into a positional battle.

The Suns' classic pick-and-roll tactics, after Diaw and Nash completed the pick-and-roll, they received the ball from Nash's split.

Dior takes the ball. Unlike other insiders of the Suns, he has an excellent passing ability.

At this time, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Clippers' defense shrinking, Diaw keenly discovered Bell who was running without the ball.

With a long swing, the ball was delivered to Raja Bell.

At this moment, the old cat Mobley was still one step away, and Bell got a good shot.

So Bell, who received the pass, also made a decisive shot.

"Oops……"

As soon as the ball was shot, Bell didn't feel very good, and the strength of the shot was obviously insufficient. The ball would probably bounce off the front of the basket nine times out of ten.

Thinking about it this way, after Bell landed, he immediately rushed towards the landing point of the basketball.

But at this time, he found that a figure in his team uniform rushed over even faster!

Ling Yang!

Looking at the trajectory of the basketball in the air, there was something wrong. Ling Yang, who had landed in the bottom corner, rushed towards the basket immediately.

While running, he judged the position of the rebound.

Outside the three-second zone on the right, Ling Yang leaped high, rushed in front of the Clippers players, and took the long rebound.

"Oh Ling got another offensive rebound!

After the opening, the Suns missed the ball twice, but Ling Du grabbed the offensive rebound, and the Suns got a second chance to attack again! "

Ling Yang, who got the rebound, was still a little far away from the basket, and the Clippers players had already posted it, so he was not greedy for credit, and immediately handed the ball to the Nash organization.

Launched an offense again, this time the Suns did not waste an offensive opportunity.

Taking advantage of the Clippers' loss of rebounds, the defensive line had a moment of confusion. After receiving the ball, Nash dribbled the ball and made a decisive mid-range shot.

Two points hit!

Ling Yang added an assist while adding a rebound!
