I feel hot in the NBA

Chapter 196 The Depressed Lin Yang

Kenny Smith expected the Mavericks to counterattack after the timeout, but the Mavericks did not do what he thought. After the timeout, some players stepped up to score with Kevin Durant and James Harden. Nowitzki scored two goals, but those two goals could not even stop the bleeding.

At the end of the first half, the Mavericks trailed by 50 points 58 to 8. If it weren't for Kevin Durant's layup before the end of the second quarter, the point difference should have been in double digits.

Even if Kevin Durant missed the last goal, it could not conceal his outstanding performance in the second quarter. In the 9 minutes he played, he scored 9 points on 5 of 13 shots.

Plus James Harden's 8 points!
The Thunder's second youngest scored a total of 21 points in the second quarter.

This score has exceeded the Mavericks' total points in the second quarter. The Mavericks only scored 20 points in the second quarter.

"This is the youth storm of the Thunder!" Reggie Miller was once again surprised by the Thunder's talent after reading the report during the halftime break. "Such a team often has a high ceiling. I don't know what this team will achieve in the future. The only thing I can be sure of is that the future of the NBA must have the Thunder!"

"Compared to the outstanding performance of the Thunder team's second team in the entire second quarter, the Mavericks team rarely showed weakness in the second quarter. Except for Nowitzki who scored 8 points and still performed like a god of the sea, the performance of other players has declined to varying degrees compared with previous games at the same time!"

"Especially Lin!" The TNT commentary was also analyzing the performance of the Mavericks in the second quarter, focusing on Lin Yang, "As the best rookie of December, Lin played a crazy month in December. During this month, he can always stage some incredible moments. These moments are also the miracle moments we are familiar with. But unfortunately, so far, he has not performed the same performance that made the fans crazy like before. Even after halftime tonight, his performance can be described as sluggish! "

4 of 1 shots, 4 assists, 2 turnovers.

In addition to the normal assists, he is not stable in other aspects.

"Linsanity's magical power disappeared?" Barkley couldn't help asking, but unfortunately no one could answer his question.

……

"No way, was Lin's performance so bad in the first half?"

"It seems that it has been thoroughly researched. Now it is a bit difficult for Lin Yang to play as crazy as he did in December!"

"Who hasn't had a bad hand, how can you expect Lin Yang to explode every game? The problem is that the rest of the Mavericks are not playing well either!"

Fans in China who were watching the game also chatted in the real-time chat barrage. They also have different attitudes towards Lin Yang's sluggish performance so far. Some think it is normal, some think Lin Yang has been thoroughly studied, and some continue to cheer for Lin Yang.

……

Lin Yang looked at his first-half data report in the locker room and shook his head. He himself was very dissatisfied with his performance in the first half, but the problem is that in the second quarter, he really can’t be blamed for his lack of performance on the offensive end. First, all his energy was spent on the defensive end. Westbrook is really not that easy to handle. This guy’s impact can definitely be ranked among the top five in the current league. His people became Sefoloza. As the league's famous defensive iron gate, it was really difficult for Lin Yang to get cheap from him.

What's more, his task in this game is not very easy to complete. He must grab 6 rebounds to start the "feeling hot" mode, but if the whole game is like the second quarter, then he has no extra physical energy to fight for rebounds.

He has only got 2 rebounds so far, which is 6 short of 4 rebounds.

If nothing changed, he felt that it was really difficult for him to complete the task.

Unless, shamelessly pick up rebounds in the backcourt...

This is how he picked up these two rebounds so far.

"Lin, you start the game directly in the second half and play the second position!"

Carlisle finished discussing with the coaching staff how to play in the second half, gathered all the Mavericks players before the halftime break, and began to arrange the lineup and play for the second half.

Carlisle also saw Lin Yang's offensive performance in the first half. It was really not good, so he decided to let Lin Yang catch and shoot a few shots at the second position in the second half to find his touch. Anyway, Stevenson didn't feel good tonight.

"In addition, pay attention to Kevin Durant's position on the three perimeters. No matter when he catches the ball anywhere, he will double-team me without hesitation, forcing him to pass the ball. I would rather let the rest of the Thunder score than let this guy score!"

His offense boosted the morale of the Thunder, and the blow to the morale of the Mavericks was too great, and Carlisle didn't want to see this situation again in the second half.

"One more thing, when Kevin Durant doesn't have the ball, pay attention to give him physical contact, keep him in confrontation all the time, don't let him rest!"

The best way to destroy the shooting rhythm is to prevent the shooter from maintaining sufficient physical fitness, which is very important.

Why can even cba players make more than a dozen three-pointers in a row during training?This has a lot to do with his usual physical condition. When a player is physically fit, his muscles have the clearest memory for shooting. He knows how hard to shoot the ball without self-control.

But once there is a problem with physical fitness, the original muscle memory is no longer effective, which is why many players will continue to hit the iron when shooting when their physical fitness is in crisis!

The main reason is because the shooting intensity of these guys is too low during normal training.

It can't reach the intensity of the competition at all, and such training can never make people improve.

And vice versa, when the physical fitness is not so abundant, the missed shot can only explain one problem, that is, the most basic shooting training has not reached high intensity during normal training. This kind of training attitude is questionable!
To give an extreme example, if the physical fitness is fully sufficient, the shooting ability of the old man on the court is really no worse than that of some professional players!
And if the shooting ability of a professional player only stays at this level, he is destined not to be a player who can stand on his own.

Kevin Durant is obviously another level of player. His ability to shoot with the ball is rare in NBA history, and Carlisle's doing this is completely helpless. He is using all the methods that can affect Durant's shooting feeling!
As for whether it works or not, you can only know it in the game!
