I feel hot in the NBA

Chapter 121 Only the sky is his limit
"Dwyane, what did you say to Lin when you left? I noticed that you had a short conversation with Lin. I wonder what you two talked about?"

On the other side of the Heat's home team locker room, Wade was being interviewed by a large group of reporters. The Heat's team reporter Tom Harperstra noticed that Dwyane Wade had a short exchange with Lin Yang after the game. He was very curious about the content of the chat between the two.

Wade listened to Tom's question and smiled knowingly: "He just wanted to ask me for an autograph. I made an agreement with him. Next time I go to Dallas, I will bring him a jersey with my autograph!"

Wade said, with an inexplicable sense of pride on his face.

Lin Yang is currently a hot newcomer in the league. Especially since December, his terrifying ability to shoot three-pointers in a row has become the object of heated discussion among fans and experts in the entire league.

This guy's template before participating in the draft was the combination of Sefolosha and JR Smith. Since entering the league, he quickly showed good defensive ability, but he has not been impressive in scoring. Throughout November, the only thing that can be mentioned is probably his two consecutive three-pointers at the last minute in the game between the Mavericks and the Lakers. Apart from this, there is nothing to say about Lin Yang's scoring ability!
But in December, Lin Yang finally made an astonishing performance on the offensive end. Against the Wizards, he scored five consecutive three-pointers in less than 12 minutes; against the Heat, he scored three consecutive three-pointers at the beginning of the fourth quarter... This guy proved that his "McGrady moment" at the end of the NCAA Finals was not accidental, but inevitable!

His popularity in the entire league is increasing at a terrifying speed.

To have such fans, Wade also has an inexplicable sense of pride!
"Then what height do you think Lin will reach in the future?" Another reporter suddenly asked a question.

Wade thought for a while, and said: "Lin is a very good guy. His basketball IQ, his passing ability, and his cooperation with Caron Butler and Jason Terry are all impressive. Of course, there is also his recent shooting ability. If he continues to perform like this, in my opinion, he may not be able to compete for the best rookie!"

Wade’s words surprised the reporters who interviewed him. They didn’t expect that Wade would think so. Although there have been such voices recently, Lin Yang’s outburst has caused more suspense about the final ownership of the “Best Rookie”, but this is only a small number of people who have such voices. Wade is the first player to say this in front of the media.

It is conceivable that Wade's words will definitely cause quite a stir after being reported...

"Miracle Boy rained another three points, and the entire Heat team was beaten!"

"Crazy casting! Who can stop this man!"

"Big explosion, Lin Yang entered December with a three-point shooting percentage as high as 12%, and scored 75 three-pointers in the two games!"

Reports about Lin Yang after the game unsurprisingly occupied the major basketball websites. Under these reports, there are also many fans commenting:
"Now who dares to say that Lin has no performance on the offensive end?"

"I really like Lin more and more now. This guy is so domineering when he shoots three-pointers!"

"Hopefully this guy can keep throwing like this, he's amazing!"

……

There are a lot of comments, basically discussing Lin Yang's recent three-point shooting ability.

In fact, logically speaking, if he only made 5 three-pointers or 3 three-pointers in the whole game, even if it would cause some discussion, after all, Lin Yang is a Chinese player and a rookie, but it is impossible to cause such a big impact. The main reason is that he made consecutive three-pointers in a short period of time. This kind of scoring explosiveness will naturally attract more attention and discussion!
"I have to apologize. I originally thought that his miraculous moment in the NCAA Finals was just luck, but it happened to be favored by God. Now it seems that he obviously has that explosive scoring power!"

"Mark Cuban's decision is undoubtedly correct. He brought a potential stock to the Mavericks with two second-round picks!"

"Lin was overlooked. He was one of the best rookies in the class of 2010. I'm glad our management chose to trust their instincts."

Some Mavericks fans also apologized for questioning Mark Cuban's decision to exchange two second-round picks for the No. 26 pick in the first round to choose Lin Yang!

They just feel fragrant now, so delicious!

The Mavericks continue their journey, and their next game will go to New Orleans to challenge the Hornets.

The Hornets are currently ranked seventh in the West and are back in the playoffs.

Last year's Hornets failed to make the playoffs, and their record was very dismal. This summer, the personnel of their entire team did not change much. It can be said that they basically maintained the core lineup of last season. The only and biggest reason why they can return to the playoffs this season is Chris Paul's return from injury!

As the best No. [-] player in the league at present, it can be seen from the record how strong Chris Paul's ability to influence a team is.

The matchup between the No. [-] position is also the biggest highlight of the Mavericks' challenge to the New Orleans Hornets. Jason Kidd, one of the best No. [-] players in the league, will face off against Chris Paul, the best No. [-] at the moment. In addition, the possible matchup between Lin Yang and Chris Paul, who has attracted attention because of his continuous three-point shooting ability, has also aroused the interest of many fans. After all, everyone knows that this No. [-] player from China is also very good at driving the rhythm. what?This is what everyone is curious about!
Of course, this is the highlight of the game between the Hornets and the Mavericks. After all, there is still a big gap between the Hornets' staffing and the Mavericks. No matter how strong Chris Paul's personal ability is, he is not enough to lead the Hornets to victory over the Mavericks!

Perhaps there is another point to watch, that is, Chris Paul's best partner Tyson Chandler returned to this city and met Chris Paul again.

There were indeed no major surprises during the entire game. Although Chris Paul showed his ability as the league's first point guard from the beginning, the Hornets' first 12 points were all related to him. It was also Chris Paul's efforts.

It's a pity that after Chris Paul left the field, the Hornets lost their engine on the field, and the entire offense came to a standstill. On the Mavericks side, the appearance of the "headband brothers" allowed the Mavericks to continue their offensive firepower.

The outcome was also decided at this moment. In the next game, the Hornets never overtook the score, and the Mavericks just took the lead and won the game.

Dirk Nowitzki is still the Mavericks player with the best statistics in this game. He scored a total of 27 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists in this game, and his shooting percentage was as high as 57%!

Although Dirk Nowitzki is an inside player, everyone knows that he is an inside player who mainly shoots. He scored 27 points in a game and still has such a shooting percentage, which shows how good Dirk Nowitzki is in his state!

Again, Dirk Nowitzki has been in fantastic form this season...

Lin Yang also performed very well in this game, with 18 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists. From 6 minutes 30 seconds to 8 minutes 10 seconds in the third quarter of the game, he made 3 consecutive three-pointers, reproduced the "miracle moment", and directly spent the game.

"Chris, what do you think of Lin's performance tonight?"

He scored at least 3 three-pointers in 3 consecutive games, and Lin Yang became the first rookie of the Mavericks to unlock this achievement in recent years.

A reporter naturally asked Chris Paul about Lin Yang's performance. Although the Hornets lost the game, his performance in this game was still in line with his status as the league's number one point guard. He scored 17 points and 14 assists with only 2 turnovers. The assist-to-turnover ratio was as high as 7 to 1!

The super high assist-to-turnover ratio has always been the label of Chris Paul. He is the kind of player who can reassure the head coach and teammates no matter when he holds the ball.

"Lin is very good. He is one of the most surprising rookies this year. He also has the ability to go further! And in this game, he played really well. He drove the Mavericks' bench, which is one of the reasons why we lost."

Chris Paul and Lin Yang had a short matchup in the game. Although Lin Yang didn't have any outstanding expressions during that time, Chris Paul also played quite well and failed to take advantage of Lin Yang.

Of course, this is also related to Lin Yang's too little time to match up with him.

The reason why Chris Paul praised Lin Yang so much was not entirely because Lin Yang’s performance against him was not bad, but because he sat on the bench and watched Lin Yang make three consecutive three-pointers to drive the Hornets into the abyss. His confident expression, and the domineering figure of "settling everything" after the third three-pointer made him feel that Lin Yang will be a good No. [-] player in the future.

"Tyson is back in New Orleans again tonight. This is the first time you guys have faced each other in different uniforms. How do you feel?"

A reporter asked about Tyson Chandler. The latter performed very well tonight, scoring 14 points and 18 rebounds, and also contributed 3 blocks. He perfectly carried the defensive end of the Mavericks.

"He is still so good!" Chris Paul also smiled when talking about his best comrade-in-arms. In the 07-08 season, he and Tyson Chandler led the Hornets to the second round of the Western Conference playoffs. It has also become a pity for the highly anticipated combination of inside and outside lines.

Rao is Chris Paul who wants to come, and feels embarrassing. In his opinion, if he and Tyson Chandler have not been injured in the past two years, they can go further, and Tyson Chandler will not leave.

……

"How do you feel about returning to this city?"

At the same time, Tyson Chandler was also being interviewed. He was not happy when he left New Orleans, and he was traded out after almost falling out with the management.And it was the Bobcats who were traded, which made him spend an unhappy season. He counted all these hatreds on the Hornets-if they traded him to other teams, these things probably would not have happened!Therefore, these accounts must be counted on them!

Hmm... who said only women are vexatious?Men, especially muscular men, are unreasonable and unstoppable!

"I feel very good, I like the booing of the fans in this city, which means that they have not forgotten me! It feels good and makes my performance today full of meaning!"

Tyson Chandler received a lot of booing during the game, but right now when he talked about this episode, he didn't show much concern on his face. Instead, he was very excited. He completed his task very well today, and got enough good data. The team also won. There is nothing wrong with it, and the mood is naturally very good!
"Seeing Chris Paul again and becoming an opponent with him, how do you feel?" A reporter also asked how it felt to be an opponent with Chris Paul.

"Honestly, he's still good, but right now, I've got better guys. He shouldn't be in New Orleans. The management in this city sucks. Their goal is not to win the championship. They just want to stay out of the bottom, that's all. That's why I left this city in the first place!"

Chandler didn't mind the booing he received from the city's fans, but he didn't forgive the Hornets' front office that easily, and he still remembers it with a gnawing itch.

"What do you think of Lin's performance tonight?" After talking about Chris Paul, a reporter mentioned Lin Yang, "Lin and you completed two alley-oop cooperations tonight, which vaguely let us see the alley-oop cooperation between Chris and you back then. I don't know what kind of player Lin is in your heart. Do you think he can become an excellent No. [-] player in the league like Chris Paul in the future?"

"Lin is my best brother. The tacit understanding between me and him is natural. From our first practice game, we can complete similar lob cooperation very smoothly. I am very happy that I can come to the Mavericks. I am also very happy that the management can bring Lin to Dallas!"

After Tyson Chandler answered the first question, he paused and continued with a serious face: "As for whether Lin can reach the height of Chris Paul in the future, to be honest, I don't want to brag about Lin. He doesn't need me to judge him too much. I can only say that only the sky is his limit!"
