I feel hot in the NBA

Chapter 58
Reports about the game between the Mavericks and the Spurs were published one after another after the game, and Lin Yang was mentioned much more than before.

There is no way, Lin Yang has too much to report before and after the game:
He arbitrarily called a timeout on the court, and with Rick Carlisle's acquiescence, he picked up the tactical board. More importantly, after the timeout, the Mavericks' tactics actually scored. This is an extremely rare scene in the history of the NBA, especially since Lin Yang is a Chinese player. It can be said that this is the first time such a situation has occurred since the establishment of the NBA;

After the game, he was surrounded by four or five reporters, and he still avoided the traps of all the questions very clearly during the pressing questions, and gave a very standard answer. In the words of the Mavericks PR staff's summary of Lin Yang's interview, that is: Lin Yang's professional attitude makes Rick Carlisle more like a great head coach;

He also did a great job defending Manu Ginobili on the defensive end tonight.

Especially the last thing, which is also the most reported by all the media-the best sixth man in the league, the historical star Manu Ginobili at the second position, has encountered a Terminator today. Although Manu himself has shown great confidence in himself, most experts are very clear. When playing, the shooting performance is really a bit embarrassing.

Most of the reports have given great affirmation to Lin Yang's defensive ability in this game.

The famous "Yao Hei" and ESPN columnist Bill Simmons also commented on Lin Yang: "If he continues to develop, he can become one of the best perimeter defenders in the league. At the same time, he should be very fortunate to be able to live in such an era, because the current league is infinitely tolerant of perimeter players without strong offensive capabilities. Otherwise, he would have left the league long ago!"

Bill Simmons' evaluation of Lin Yang is not bad, but it also carries his usual prejudice against Chinese players.

However, Bill Simmons' remarks were quickly refuted by others-the Mavericks team reporter, the ESPN reporter McMahon who wrote a report on Lin Yang after his debut, did not agree with what he said. Players with such a high IQ will not be able to survive in the league, buddy, put away your prejudice against Chinese players! Just like most of your comments on Yao Ming have become a laughing stock, these words will become another laughing stock in the future!"

"Maybe, man, you want to take a gamble?" Bill Simmons insisted, tweeting out McMahon.

"Happy to accompany you!" McMahon didn't budge at all.

"If Lin averages double digits per game at the end of this season, I will publicly apologize to you and Lin Yang on Twitter, and admit that my point of view is not correct!"

"No, No, No, this bet is not fun at all, I hope I can play a little bigger!"

"for example?"

"If Lin Yang really scored more than 10 points per game in his rookie season, then you must buy a sideline ticket for the Mavericks' home court, wear Lin Yang's jersey, and cheer for him on the sidelines for the entire game!"

"OK, that's fine, but if you lose, then you have to publicly apologize to me and admit that everything I said was true!"

"No problem, but... I don't think that day will come!"

……

McMahon and Bill Simmons are both well-known ESPN experts and reporters. The bet they made for Lin Yang naturally attracted the attention of many American fans. Many fans even went to study the video of the game specifically for their bet. Fans who watched the video were surprised by Lin Yang's defensive ability. Sina NBA beauty reporter Zhou Lingan.

Lin Yang first answered all the reporters' questions in a unified manner, as before, avoiding the important and focusing on the minor, and didn't say much, including to Bill Simmons, he just said: "Let's see!"

He doesn't like to say too much in front of the media before the matter has a result, it will make him look "long proud".

After the interview with all the reporters, he reserved an exclusive interview time for Zhou Ling'an of about 10 minutes. There was no other meaning. After all, he is also from China, and it is normal to give some convenience to his compatriots. Besides, he has also heard more or less that Chinese reporters are not well received in the United States.

"So, Lin Yang, do you think McMahon can win?" Zhou Ling'an wanted to say, Lin Yang, can you average 10 points per game?But she was afraid that saying this would show that she was not confident in Lin Yang.

"Should be able to win! As long as I can continue to gain the trust of head coach Rick Carlisle and get the same playing time as now, then I think I should be able to average more than 10 points per game!"

Not every night, he will meet a strong defensive team like the Spurs, and not every night the system will give him such a difficult task, so averaging 10 points per game is really not a particularly difficult goal for Lin Yang, but the requirement of averaging 15 points per game to unlock the silver touch is much more difficult for him now.

Since entering the regular season, it can be seen that he has not scored 15 points in a single game. It is really difficult to average 15 points per game.

Zhou Ling'an has interviewed Lin Yang several times, and knows that he is not arrogant or conceited. Generally speaking, what he says is what he is more confident in. Judging from Lin Yang's tone, it is not very difficult to average 10 points per game. Zhou Ling'an's smile also became sweeter: "That's good, I can't wait to see Bill Simmons cheering for you on the sidelines wearing your jersey!"

As a reporter from Huaxia Media, Zhou Ling'an was very upset with Bill Simmons, who deliberately looked down on Yao Ming. Seeing the latter deflated, for her, was definitely a refreshing scene.
