I feel hot in the NBA

Chapter 3 Carlyle's Attitude
Ok?
Not bad!

Carlisle was surprised to find that this rookie played well. He defended against Danny Granger twice, and he was very satisfied with his response and cooperation in the fast break.

only……

Carlisle narrowed his small eyes, and said silently in his heart: Only in this way, it is still a bit difficult to get into the rotation of the Mavericks!

The second and third positions of the Mavericks this season are still very substantial, starting with Caron Butler and Sean Marion, and Deshaun Stevenson and Jason Terry on the bench.

There is also Beau Bois.

In short, those who have defense have a good offensive ability, and the defense that can attack is not a big colander.

If Lin Yang only performed well on the defensive end, then he is destined to be difficult to squeeze into the second and third positions of the Mavericks.

So... If you have any skills, show them off quickly!

Unknowingly, Carlisle himself didn't realize that his mentality towards Lin Yang had changed, from a test to an investigation.

Lin Yang didn't know that his hard work had changed Carlisle's attitude, and he still followed Danny Granger every step of the way.

During his time on the floor, Granger's isolation efficiency was poor.

But Granger is not a single muscle, he failed in two singles, he began to put more energy on running air cuts.

Lin Yang kept a distance of two to three bodies from him to prevent him from being thrown away by a sudden change of position.

Granger gave up the ball, and the Pacers' player with the ball became Darren Collison.

Collison, who served as Chris Paul's substitute last year, seized the opportunity and successfully played his worth during Paul's injury. He once scored 16 points and 20 assists in a single game.

Being traded to the Pacers this season is also the time when he is eager to prove himself.

Darren Collison's speed is very good, but Barea, who came off the bench for the Mavericks, is also a speed-type point guard. In addition, Darren Collison is not tall. Barea's height does not have any problems in defense, and Darren Collison is entangled.

It can be seen from this ball that Collison's dribbling is not spiritual enough, and he doesn't know how to use his footsteps and changing rhythm to make a breakthrough. Meeting Barea, who is also good at speed, is like meeting his nemesis.

However, Darren Collison is not a guy who sticks to the ball. He can't find a chance and doesn't force it. He gave it to the rookie Lance Stephenson who followed up on the right.

This is a guy who is good at everything except his brain.

Stephenson was blocked by Terry, found Granger in the process of turning, and passed the ball.

But Granger happened to be running back at this time, and Lin Yang, who was following behind him, caught the ball instead.

Hey?
Does happiness come so suddenly?
"Ding, mission accomplished!"

Lin Yang dribbled the ball to the frontcourt without hesitation, preparing for another fast break.

But this time the Pacers returned to defense very quickly, and the Mavericks haven't been inserted yet!They are all in place.

There is no way, Lin Yang can only give up the fast break and slowly dribble forward.

"Ding, the positive heat mode starts, and lasts for 3 minutes!"

Ok?
Did it turn on so fast this time?
The "feeling hot" mode is not activated immediately after the task is completed. It is activated randomly. It may be the first time after the task is completed, or it may be the third quarter, or even the fourth quarter. It is possible.

As long as the remaining time of the game exceeds the duration of the "Feeling Hot" mode, its activation is not fixed.

In the NCAA, on several occasions, the system turned on the "feeling hot" mode when Lin Yang was replaced and sat on the bench.

Lin Yang was almost killed.

broken system...

This time it is still very powerful!
Lin Yang slowly dribbled the ball across the center line, Danny Granger took a step back, and did not force him directly because Lin Yang was coming towards the three-point line.

So far, this guy who just came up has not shot yet!

You can't come up and throw one first, can you?

Such nonsense will be scolded by the coach!

I guess he dare not.

Ok.

Barea asked Lin Yang for the ball, and Lin Yang signaled him to catch the ball at the 90-degree three-point line, but he shot a three-pointer directly half a step before the three-point line.

"Shh!"

Attacked off guard.

Go in!

Danny Granger: How old are you, why are you still lying?

"Nice!"

Lin Yang faced Danny Granger and scored the ball. Barea, who was outstretched and waiting for Lin Yang to pass the ball, raised his hands subconsciously to avoid embarrassment.

Pretending to cooperate with Lin Yang.

Lin Yang also gave him a high five in a face-saving way.

Hmm... It's more like a cooperation.

There was also a burst of fragmented cheers at the scene, Lin Yang's direct shot at Granger was quite impressive.

Some fans in Dallas also spontaneously cheered for their rookies this year.

Granger was hit suddenly, upset, and returned a three-pointer against Lin Yang's defense.

His ball is obviously more difficult.

He didn't expect Lin Yang to shoot suddenly, and Lin Yang knew that he could shoot, so he rushed out to interfere, but Granger still made it.

What is an All-Star player, this is an All-Star player!

If you want to score, it is not something that ordinary defense can stop.

Lin Yang continued to strengthen his personal offense and turned on the "hot hand" mode, which made him more confident.

But holding the ball is his weakness, all he can do is run more actively.

Barea took the ball to the middle, and was blocked by the Pacers' inside line for an instant, and then distributed the ball to the outside line. After taking the ball, Lin Yang made a shooting fake, tricked Granger, and then went straight to the basket and scored a layup.

"Yes!"

"Snapped!"

The two high-five.

Barea and Lin Yang really cooperated this time, and they celebrated with more confidence.

After defending Granger twice in a row, he scored 5 points in a row!
Lin Yang played for less than 3 minutes, and his offensive and defensive performance made Carlisle smile on his face, and he preached to Carlisle: "This rookie is really good. He defends actively, dares to fight hard, and is also very smart in handling the ball!"

Carlisle was full of praise for Lin Yang, but Caleb was not surprised at all: "Rick, as I said earlier, Lin's daily training in the training camp has been completed to a very high degree, and he also shines in the training games between substitutes. I mentioned him many times!"

"Have you mentioned it?" Carlisle had an expression he hadn't heard before.

Caleb: ...

This guy is playing dumb again like Popovich.

Carlisle actually remembered it. Some time ago, Caleb did tell him that Lin Yang performed well in the training camp, defended actively, handled the ball very smartly on the court, and had the ability to become an important rotation player.It's just that at that time, his thoughts were all on the inside line, and he didn't have time to investigate Lin Yang at all.

And in his impression, isn't Caleb talking about DeShawn Stevenson?
In a team, there are not so many role players with the same functions.

So although Caleb said Lin Yang a few times, Carlisle forgot all of them. When he thought about it again, Lin Yang had become a bargaining chip in Carlisle's eyes that could be exchanged for the third center of the Mavericks.

But just judging from the performance of these three minutes, Lin Yang's potential is enough to occupy an important position on the Mavericks' bench in the near future. It is a bit wasteful to use him for the third rotation of the center position!

Lin Yang's value has been greatly improved in Carlisle's heart.

Lin Yang's brilliant performance on the field made Cuban sitting in the auditorium brighten up. He stood up cheerfully and went to the Mavericks' bench. When Deshaun Stevenson saw the big guy coming, he quickly got up and gave up his seat to the big guy.

"How is it? Lin's performance so far is not bad, right? The person I chose!"

Deshaun Stevenson:  …
