I feel hot in the NBA

Chapter 192 You Are Really Undefensive
Lin Yang walked onto the stage, and there was a huge cheer from the audience.

As the newly promoted rookie of the month in December, Lin Yang's popularity in Dallas has reached a new height.

Of course, every player with strength will eventually gain popularity. After the crazy December, "Miracle Kid" Lin Yang has also successfully left a deep impression on the hearts of stereotyped Dallas fans!

Dallas people are also willing to admit that there must be a Chinese named Lin Yang in the future of Dallas.

Still the same sentence, in competitive sports, strength speaks for itself. From the moment he heard the boos on the court to the cheers of the audience now, Lin Yang has proved himself step by step with his strength and won the respect of Dallas fans!
And if there is no strength, Lin Yang believes that these cheers are impossible for him to hear in his life...

On the opposite bench, James Harden and Ibaka also came on the court.

As a youth team for the Thunder, from Kevin Durant to Westbrook to Ibaka, each of them played vigorously, and their entire expressions were full of energy.

Only James Harden seemed unusually quiet.

This is not because he was not emotional when he first played. In so many games he has played, he rarely has passionate actions such as roaring.

And his style of play is very much in line with his quiet state.

Compared with Kevin Durant's unreasonable shooting and Westbrook's unreasonable breakthrough, Harden prefers to look for the possibility of fouling.

This is what sets him apart from other players on the Thunder.

But there is one thing that the "Three Thunders" have in common, they are more or less eccentric!

Needless to say, Kevin Durant likes to drink bath water, which is a stalk that all fans have been using to make fun of it; Westbrook blames his fashion concept. His fancy dress and clothing choices off the court are few people can understand!
As for Harden, his growing beard is incomprehensible to others. Although there was a "big beard" in the league before, compared with that beard, Harden's beard is easily reminiscent of a certain big man who made people in the United States panic. It is a bit incomprehensible to maintain such an image.

However, although the "Three Young Thunders" have their own quirks, their strengths are beyond doubt. This season, the Thunder's record in the Western Conference after the Mavericks is enough to explain everything.

The Thunder's ability to reach their current heights is inseparable from Kevin Durant and Westbrook, and it is also inseparable from James Harden.

It is because of his presence that the Thunder's substitute rotation stage has become their strong period.

This season, the Thunder can outperform their opponents by 3.6 points per game during the substitute rotation period, which is enough to explain the problem.

……

The second quarter of the game officially started.

Lin Yang came up and completed the cooperation with Jason Terry, who bypassed him while catching the ball and making a shot.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Mavericks successfully chased the point difference to only 1 point.

There were also cheers at the scene.

Reggie Miller also sighed: "The headband brothers showed perfect cooperation when they came up. This kind of goal can be said to be their iconic goal!"

"Nice!"

Lin Yang and Terry also high-fived each other when they returned to defense.

It's just that in the process of returning to defense, their eyes were fixed on the rear, watching the movements of the Thunder players.

They also know very well that the Thunder's substitute players have the same ability to chase points as they do.

Definitely not to be underestimated.

When the Thunder reached the frontcourt, it was immediately handed over to James Harden.

Harden looked at Terry in front of him, made a simple tentative step to force the latter back, and then pulled up and wanted to shoot. Terry didn't expect this guy to be so decisive, and immediately got up and jumped up, but when he jumped up, he found that Harden didn't jump up, but just looked at him with the ball.

be cheated!
Only then did Terry react, but at this moment he couldn't control his body, so he could only bump into it.

It was only at this time that Harden made a shooting action and bumped into Terry.

The only thing Terry can do at this moment is to put his hands on the basketball to prevent this guy from running into a dead mouse, and then make a shot later.

"beep!"

The referee's whistle sounded.

Terry fouled.

Harden made three free throws.

"This guy is really smart!" Kenny Smith couldn't help but praise.

Compared with Durant and Westbrook, who are amazingly talented, what is amazing about James Harden is his maturity. He can always use the rules and the opponent's psychology to accomplish something.

For example, at the beginning of the game, he successfully fouled veteran Jason Terry.

It is not common for a young player to draw fouls so easily in the NBA.

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

More importantly, this guy's free throws are also very stable, this season's free throw percentage is as high as 85.7%!

This also allows him to draw fouls and score every time.

It has become a stable scoring method for him.

As he made all 3 free throws, the point difference fell to 4 points, and his playing made the Thunder's point difference widen.

"Sorry!"

Terry shook his head helplessly, and repeatedly apologized. As a defensive player, it is very important not to jump easily, but just now Terry was perfectly deceived by Harden, and he forgot this crucial point.

"Just chase it back!" Lin Yang responded after listening to his words.

Terry's demeanor also recovered a lot, he usually would not have such emotions, but Lin Yang stood beside him, he complained unconsciously, Lin Yang's words also made him recover a lot.

"Shh!"

Terry also quickly redeemed himself in this round, recovering the score difference to two points with a mid-range shot.

"Defense, defense, lads, where's your passion?"

Brooks on the sidelines watched Terry make two consecutive shots, and his tone suddenly became a little bad. He didn't want to see the Mavericks score so easily.

He needs his players to show passion on the court.

"Shh!"

Harden turned his head to complete the cooperation with Ibaka, assisting the latter to score an easy layup.

……

This is why Brooks doesn't talk about offense. For this team, he really doesn't need to talk too much on the offensive end, because there are some players who can attack.

The real problem with the Thunder's bench is their defense.

"Shh!"

This time the Mavericks hit the ball was Caron Butler, who received a pass from Terry in an air cut and scored an easy layup.

The tacit understanding between the "hair band brothers" is getting better and better not only in the cooperation between Lin Yang and the two of them, but also in the cooperation between Caron Butler and Terry.

After Terry and Caron Butler are almost the same type of players, after getting acquainted with each other, the passing cooperation also became smoother.

"Guys, where's your defensive passion? Why, all I see are easy goals!"

Brooks couldn't stand it any longer.

The quality of this defense was so poor that he finally chose to call a timeout.

"nice"

Lin Yang gave Terry a high-five after the end of the field, thinking: James Harden is really not defensive!
