I feel hot in the NBA

Chapter 225 The Third Victory

However, the difference from the previous two matches is that the Mavericks' lineup is not complete this time. After the loss of Nowitzki and Jason Kidd, the Mavericks' overall strength has dropped by more than one level.

After all, an offensive core who averaged 25 points per game is missing, and a main player who can control the rhythm of the game is missing.

But the Clippers are all in order.

So this game will be more difficult to play than the previous two games.

This kind of game also gave the Los Angeles media a chance to make use of the topic: "To be honest, the two teams are now considered to be of equal strength. This kind of game can better tell who is better, Lin or Blake Griffin. If Blake wins this game, I think the best rookie should be re-discussed!"

The media in Los Angeles can be said to be unhappy until now. In their opinion, Lin Yang relied more on the overall strength of the team to achieve such a performance.

"With Nowitzki, who can't play well?"

This is also the point where the Los Angeles media complained about Lin Yang the most.

The development trend of this game can be regarded as fulfilling what the Los Angeles media wanted to see before the game.

At the end of the first quarter, the Mavericks only led by 24 points 22 to 2. Griffin played well, and he scored 10 points in a single quarter.

He doesn't need to guard Nowitzki on the defensive end, and he can devote enough energy to the offensive end of the game.

This also made the media in Los Angeles even more excited: "I can't see it, who can stop this beast, his offensive performance is so explosive, this is completely the performance of the best rookie!"

They were very excited, but they also ignored Lin Yang's performance. Lin Yang was a bit low-key in the first quarter and didn't take the initiative to attack many times, so he only scored 4 points.

The Clippers' defensive formation is like a net, which seems to be able to catch something, but there are loopholes one after another on the net.

These loopholes were caught one by one by Lin Yang, helping his teammates to complete the attack after attack.

It's just that it's hard to have an intuitive impression of assists without looking at the data, which is why they dare to clamor.

But if they look carefully at Lin Yang's statistics in the first quarter, 4 points and 5 assists, when the Mavericks had 24 points in 14 minutes related to him, they dare not say that Griffin's performance is even higher!
It's a pity that the reporters in Los Angeles are all guys with eyes above the top.

It is impossible for them to pay special attention to Lin Yang's data, because Griffin played so strongly in the first quarter.

At the beginning of the second quarter, both teams entered the stage of substitute rotation. The benches of the two teams were evenly matched, and no one was much better.

Because the Mavericks got Caron Butler into the starting lineup again because of Nowitzki's injury.

So now the Mavericks have only Barea and Jason Terry on the bench!

However, even so, the Mavericks' bench is still on par with the Clippers, which shows how deep the Mavericks' bench is this year!

The 4-minute bench time is over.

The Mavericks are 27 to 23, leading by 4 points!
It seems that the Mavericks' bench is still a little more powerful, because they scored 2 more points.

This can also show how bad the Clippers' bench is!
In other words, the rebuilding of a team is like this, get a super rookie, then find some helpers for him in the second year, and start to become competitive in the third year!

This is already the most ideal reconstruction process for a rebuilding team. If there is a slight problem, like the Knicks, it may be a long wait of nearly ten years!

Lin Yang returned to the field and began to increase his personal competitiveness. All kinds of strong breakthroughs made the Los Angeles fans on the scene tremble with fear. Lin Yang's madness in the last game stunned the entire American fans. They don't want to see such a situation again tonight.

Of course, a breakthrough is always better than shooting a three-pointer from the outside!

Lin Yang's three-pointer can kill a team, but so far he has not used a breakthrough to kill a team suddenly.

Obviously, compared to breakthroughs, three-pointers are more of a label on Lin Yang!

"Bah!"

Griffin still played very well in the second quarter. He detonated the Staples Center with a dunk in the first place. The sound of the scene seemed to overturn the roof of the arena!

The two rookies who received the most attention in 2010 took on the offense of their respective teams during this period. Until the end of the first half, the score of the two teams was still 4 points.

Lin Yang strengthened his personal offense in the second quarter, so his scoring increased and he scored 8 points in a single quarter.

Griffin still scored higher than Lin Yang, and he scored 10 points in a single quarter.

He scored a total of 20 points throughout the first half!
"Look, this is Griffin. With the same strength of the team, his performance will not be worse than anyone else. In the first two games, the reason why Lin looked better than Griffin is because the Mavericks are stronger!"

With 20 points in the half, this kind of scoring ability is already at the top of the league, and the Los Angeles media's bragging about Griffin has increased to another level!
But what they didn't notice was that Lin Yang had already scored 12 points and 8 assists in the first half with the data from the second quarter, which was close to a double-double.

And the team had 28 points in the first half related to him.

Griffin still has 2 assists, and with his scoring, the Clippers have 24 points related to him, which is still less than Lin Yang's contribution.

From this point of view, Griffin's performance is still worse than that of Lin Yang.

Because the Clippers are the one behind.

And it happened to be 4 points behind!
Of course, Los Angeles wouldn't look at it from that angle.

"Ding! Mission accomplished!"

"Ding! The positive heat mode is on and lasts for 12 minutes!"

It's a pity that Los Angeles' blind bragging failed to continue in the third quarter, because Lin Yang completed the task in 2 minutes of the third quarter, and successfully turned on the "feeling hot" mode in 4 minutes of the third quarter.

"Shhhhh!"

Three consecutive three-pointers went into the basket, widening the point difference between the two teams to more than 10 points, and also shut up the noisy Los Angeles fans.

"See, that's why Lin is stronger than others, and that's why he's been watched until now. Among the people in the 2010 draft, no one can drive the team better than Lin. Blake Griffin's performance in this game is really good. The Clippers have been in a stalemate with Lin for a long time under his leadership. It can be seen that he tried his best, so Lin is the better one!"

This is Lin's third victory against Blake Griffin, and it is also the most convincing victory!
Griffin looked a little lonely at the press conference after the game. He knew that he wasted another chance. In the competition for the best rookie award, Lin Yang completely left him behind!
