I feel hot in the NBA

Chapter 223 Confidence

If Rick Carlisle knew that Nowitzki would be injured in this game, he would rather not win this game, and he would even let Nowitzki rest.

In his mind, nothing is more important than Nowitzki staying healthy during the regular season.

And before the start of the six-game streak, he has been worried about such a thing happening. He always feels that the Mavericks will suffer injuries, which is also the reason for his uneasiness.

As a result, his uneasy sixth sense came true. Some players were actually injured, and it was Nowitzki who he didn't want to see injured.

"how is it going?"

Nowitzki was injured, and Rick Carlisle was naturally the most anxious. He asked after the team doctor probably checked Nowitzki.

"I don't know the specific situation yet, but it seems that this game should not be played!" The team doctor did not give an accurate answer, but it can be seen from his expression that the situation is not very optimistic.

Nowitzki was carried down. Although Rick Carlisle was still standing on the sidelines, he felt that his heart followed Nowitzki to the visiting team's locker room.

He is eager to know the situation as soon as possible.

But the game wasn't over and he also knew he had to be on the sidelines.

The absence of Nowitzki on the court has a great impact on the Mavericks. First of all, they lack a scoring weapon averaging 25 points per game on the offensive end.

This also makes the Mavericks' overall offensive momentum no longer as strong as it was at the beginning.

Moreover, Nowitzki's injury also affected the mentality of the players on the court. The Mavericks failed to score several times in the next offense. The Magic seized this opportunity and narrowed the score difference to 8 points.

At this time, there were also huge cheers in the arena of the Magic team. This arena has not heard cheers since about 5 minutes into the first quarter. At first, these fans thought that there would be no chance to cheer tonight. As a result, the direction of the game went in a direction they did not expect. From now on, every victory that can be won should be won.

But just as the players on the Magic team were preparing to go further, the time for the third quarter also arrived, which gave the Mavericks some time to adjust.

"Lin..." Rick Carlisle didn't say much during the break, but at the end of the break, he glanced at Lin Yang.

"You can persist!" Lin Yang naturally understood the latter's meaning and nodded, indicating that he could continue to play.

Lin Yang has something to rely on, because he has already completed the task of this game. As early as 5 minutes into the third quarter, with his current 12-minute duration, he believes that the "feeling hot" mode can be activated as soon as the fourth quarter starts, which is why he can persist.

In the "feeling hot" mode, he can play much more easily.

Also more confident.

This is also a normal human psychology. When a person has support, his performance will always be a little different!
After all, there are big barbarian kings who dare to cross the three towers, and if there are no big barbarian kings out of the grass, they will hurry away.

Human nature, human nature!
Rick Carlisle nodded. Nowitzki was injured. If he still can't win this game, he will lose everything!

Must win!

Anyway, can earn a regular season victory.

Lin Yang's performance in the future is very important to Rick Carlisle, which is why he specifically asked Lin Yang. He wanted to see Lin Yang's state and observe Lin Yang's expression.

From observation, although Lin Yang looked a little tired, but listening to his tone of voice, he seemed a little confident.

That's enough. Now for the Mavericks, it is impossible to have 100% hope of winning the game. However, as long as Lin Yang still has confidence, there is still hope for this game.

After thinking about this thought, Rick Carlisle suddenly stared blankly. After Nowitzki was injured, his trust was not given to Jason Terry or other Mavericks players, but it was given to this rookie who just joined the Mavericks and was dissatisfied even for a year.

It turned out that without knowing it, I had already trusted him so much!
Rick Carlisle was slow-witted.

But recalling Lin Yang's performance in the Mavericks, it seems that this sense of trust has not been given to the wrong person!
Lin Yang deserves such a sense of trust, he has the possibility to create miracles, no matter when, as long as he has not given up, there is a possibility of victory.

Especially in the current situation, it's really not that bad.

"beep!"

The whistle for the fourth quarter sounded at this time.

"Ding, the positive heat mode is on!"

As Lin Yang expected, the "feeling hot" mode is also activated at this time.

12 minutes.

Although they couldn't last a quarter, both sides still had several timeouts in their hands.

But 12 minutes is enough for him to accomplish many things.

Lin Yang made a shot against Nelson Jr. at the beginning.

When he shot, many fans in the audience gasped.

Lin Yang hadn't shot a three-pointer before.

At this time, he suddenly shot a three-pointer.

No one knows what it means!
Don't go in!
Don't go in!
Many Magic fans are praying in their hearts.

Everyone knows what it means for Lin Yang to make the first three-pointer, which is more serious than other people's three-pointers!

At the end of the third quarter, the Magic managed to catch up with the score. Originally, they were counting on the Magic players to go one step further!If Lin Yang scored this three-pointer, there was nothing to hope for!
Under the "miracle moment", the performance of the Magic on the offensive end cannot match it at all.

It's embarrassing to say the least.

The Magic back then was also considered a three-point shooting team. The "one star and four shots" style of play made the Magic reach the finals for the first time after entering the 21st century.

But it's a pity that the Magic's shooters have fallen apart in the past two years, and now only Nelson, the main outside player, is still in the Magic.

For this reason, the three-point shooting ability that the Magic depended on for survival is gone.

On the contrary, now they are afraid of their opponents shooting three-pointers!

"Shh!"

It's a pity that Lin Yang's three-pointer got into the basket steadily.

The point difference returned to 11 points.

double digits.

That means the Mavericks are safe again for the time being.

Rick Carlisle watched Lin Yang return to the defense calmly, and suddenly remembered his expression just now. At this moment, he really felt that there was a button in Lin Yang's hand. When he pressed it, he could become the miracle kid who saved the team...
