I feel hot in the NBA

Chapter 88

Lin Yang finally turned to the NBA official website for the latest ranking of rookies this season. His name appeared in the third place, just lower than Blake Griffin and John Wall, leaving other 2010 rookies behind:

"First place: Blake Griffin, Los Angeles Clippers, averaging 22.3 points, 12.1 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game."

"Blake only needed 3 games to prove that he was worth the long wait for the Los Angeles people for a season. He used 5 games to prove that he was the best rookie even in the 2010 class. Now, the only thing he needs to do is to have a healthy body. There is no doubt that he is worthy of his No. [-] pick."

"Second place: John Wall, Washington Wizards, averaging 16.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 8.3 assists per game."

"Unfortunately, this is not the best John Wall. At least before John Wall started his rookie season, everyone's expectations were not limited to his current performance. There is no doubt that he proved his talent. Even if he is the best group of players in the NBA, this is also the most criticized place. John Wall seems to be only playing with his talent, and his shortcomings are still obvious."

"Third place: Lin Yang, Dallas Mavericks, averaging 12.2 points, 4.6 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game."

"Lin Yang is a player who is easy to make impressive performances. He can defend and he also has strong organizational skills. Of course, he also has shortcomings, such as his scoring ability, but his expression at critical moments and when the team is in a disadvantaged situation is impressive. He is approaching the position of the Mavericks' sixth man. Although the Mavericks player sitting in that position is Jason Terry, this does not prevent Lin Yang from getting more and more playing time!"

……

Blake Griffin was the No. [-] pick last year, and John Wall is the No. [-] pick this year. Although everyone did not expect Blake Griffin to have such an astonishing performance this season, he has the ability to occupy the top two rookies.

It's just that Lin Yang can rank behind these two amazingly talented rookies and occupy the third place on the rookie list, which is something no one expected.

But Lin Yang's performance so far is also worthy of his ranking. After all, even if the top ten rookies in the entire rookie list are compared together, Lin Yang's playing time is still in the bottom three. So far, he has only played 25.7 minutes per game.

Moreover, the most important thing is that the Mavericks are currently ranked No. [-] in the West. Compared with the Clippers and Wizards, two bad teams in the East and West can let Blake Griffin and John Wall shoot at will, it is even more commendable that Lin Yang can get these data stably in a strong team!
Of course, even if he ranks third on the rookie list, almost no one is optimistic that he can win the "best rookie" of the season!
Unlike other awards, the "Best Rookie Award" can be said to be completely based on data as a reference object. Only when the two candidates have similar data, will the team's record be used for competition.

Lin Yang's desire to cut 20 plus 10 data this season is no different from a dream, which also means that he is destined to miss the "best rookie".

However, this is the result that can be seen long ago, and Lin Yang doesn't feel that there is anything to lose.

This is like an online game. Some people leave the village with a few artifacts in the Novice Village. Naturally, they clear the boss all the way. However, ordinary players like Lin Yang can only farm some small wild monsters first, slowly collect equipment, and then go to the boss.

Although he has a super artifact in his hand, this super artifact needs to be upgraded slowly!
"Best Rookie" is like the title of the first talent in Novice Village. Going out of the village with it may attract people's attention and tell everyone that he is the best rookie in this village.

But that's all!

If you really want to talk about the commercial value behind the "best rookie", Lin Yang feels that the commercial value attached to his status as a Chinese player is much higher than it!

Gordon Hayward didn't make the list...

Lin Yang is not worth it for him. He knows Gordon Hayward's ability. He was the absolute core of offensive tactics when he was in Butler University. His offensive ability is definitely at the NBA level from Lin Yang's feeling since he entered the league. Can only play less than 5.4 minutes, and the average number of shots per game does not exceed 1.1 times.

Lin Yang watched a few Jazz games, and Gordon Hayward couldn't get the ball at all!

Deron Williams attaches great importance to the possession of the ball, and only the newcomer Al Jefferson can get the ball from him. Whether others pass it or not depends on his mood.

At the same time, as Gordon Hayward complained when he met him last time, in Jerry Sloan's tactical system, the second and third positions are not of high tactical status, and they basically do dirty work.

Although it is inappropriate to say so, "ak47" Kirilenko is a victim of tactics. Before Jerry Sloan created the "New Utah Shuangsha", Kirilenko averaged 16.5 points, 8.1 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 2.8 blocks and 1.9 steals. The season is only 47 points, 11.9 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 2.7 blocks and 1.2 steals. All the statistics have declined to varying degrees, especially the offensive role, which has been cut by at least one third.

These two factors are superimposed, and it is strange that Gordon Hayward can get the ball and play good data!

Thinking back to the time when Butler University's proud son entered the league but ended up in this field, Lin Yang also felt a burst of embarrassment.

"Updated! Updated! Lin's Twitter is updated!"

"He uploaded Kobe's words, really Kobe's words!"

"Sure enough! Just say that this guy will never not upload because he is Kobe, sure enough!"

Lin Yang returned home and tweeted a screenshot of what Kobe said during the interview, as usual, with three "?".

When this tweet came out, there were many comments below, and many fans had been waiting for it for a long time.

In the comments, some praised Lin Yang's performance, others were surprised that Lin Yang really dared to post Kobe's words, and some of them were fans who deliberately sprayed him because Lin Yang posted Kobe's words.

Lin Yang also gained more than 1 followers overnight because of this tweet.

McMahon retweeted the tweet and tweeted to Bill Simmons: "Hey man, it's your turn next! Ready?"

McMahon had a bet with Bill Simmons before. As long as Lin Yang's scoring average can reach double digits this season, Bill Simmons will have to wear Lin Yang's jersey to cheer for him on the sidelines during the Mavericks' home games.

McMahon suddenly mentioned this matter on such a night, not because he was afraid that Bill Simmons would forget, nor because he was afraid that he would play tricks. When the two of them shouted to each other on Twitter, the movement was not small, so many people watched!Bill Simmons can't deny it if he wants to.

The reason why McMahon suddenly beat Bill Simmons is also very simple. After Lin Yang played the Lakers game, his total scoring in NBA career officially exceeded 100 points. The regular season has just passed 9 games. With Lin Yang's scoring speed, McMahon believes that Lin Yang will complete the task of averaging 10 points in advance.

Hmm... There is no other meaning, McMahon just wanted to chat with Bill Simmons.

"Don't be complacent, Lin's test has just begun, and his scoring speed will slow down soon, just wait and see!" Bill Simmons quickly fought back on Twitter.

What he said is not just casual words. Lin Yang's growing popularity is destined to be frequently targeted by the teams. Whether he can maintain his current scoring efficiency really needs to be tested.
