I feel hot in the NBA

Chapter 260 Best Rookie Award

4 month 15 day.

The playoffs of the 2010~2011 season began amidst the discussions of many fans and experts.

As the league's No. [-] team, the Mavericks have all the home court advantage, so in the first game of the first round, they sat in the center of their home arena and faced the challenge of the New Orleans Hornets.

Another highlight of this round of the series is naturally the confrontation between Lin Yang and Chris Paul. As a super rookie of the new generation, Lin Yang, who entered the league's first season and ranked first in the league, will have what kind of performance when facing Chris Paul. Many people want to know...

Especially this season, there have been a lot of news about the comparison of these two guys. It can be said that after the results of the first stage of the All-Star voting came out, the discussions between Chris Paul and Lin Yang never stopped.

Judging from the results, Lin Yang's performance against Chris Paul during that period of time can be described as not falling behind, which is a bit unexpected, but this performance also made him overwhelm Chris Paul to enter the All-Star starting lineup without much controversy.

After Lin Yang made an unprecedented performance of 10 of 10 three-pointers in a single quarter in the All-Star Game, everyone felt that Lin Yang was suitable for the All-Star Game. He brought some unimaginable shocks to the league with his unbelievable three-pointer performance.

At that time, even "Lord of the Rings" Bill Russell expressed his approval of Lin Yang's performance after watching the All-Star Game: "The three-pointer in this league is becoming a trend. He's the first guy to raise that much anticipation with his [-]s!"

It can be said that in the first confrontation with Lin Yang, Chris Paul, the number one point guard in the league, was completely defeated. He himself must admit that even he could not complete the effects that Lin Yang brought in the All-Star Game!
Lin Yang is more suitable for the All-Star Game than him. Although this is a bit difficult to say, it is something he must admit!
However, after the All-Star Game, Chris Paul also consciously began to stay away from the vortex of comparison with Lin Yang. He also realized that he didn’t need to be serious with Lin Yang, because no matter whether he wins or loses, he won’t be able to take advantage of it in the end. Corpse landed the starting guard position in the West!"

In addition, Lin Yang also completed a shocking performance and won the final All-Star MVP. This incident can be said to have brought him endless popularity and exposure!

However, as the league's number one point guard, Chris Paul, who is Lin Yang's senior, has experienced the powerlessness of "the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and the waves ahead are shot to death on the beach"!
If he doesn't pay attention, he may become the worst "League's No. [-] point guard" in NBA history!

Anyway, he just took this position, but now he has been constantly suppressed by a first-year student, not only in terms of fame, but also in various aspects such as field performance, public opinion, etc. If he is not dead, he may soon become "the league's number one point guard who is beaten by rookies"!

"Chris, you will face Lin again. I don't know how to face him. What do you want to say? How do you evaluate him? What kind of performance do you think you will contribute when facing him!"

"Sorry, first of all, compared to the matchup with Lin, I am more concerned about how our team wins. For me, I am the core of the team. I need to focus on winning. Lin is just a substitute player. However, it is worth mentioning that he did a good job on the bench. He has performed a lot, but again, I don’t need to focus on him. What I need to care about is how to beat the Mavericks, because if I just beat Lin, I can’t guarantee that we will win. !"

So today before the game, when faced with questions from reporters, Chris Paul tried his best to avoid the question of comparing himself with Lin Yang. He described himself as "standing for victory" and described the duel with Lin Yang as "even if he wins the duel, he cannot win steadily"!
In short, one sentence can sum up his whole meaning, he doesn't want to compare with Lin Yang anymore!

……

Lin Yang also accepted a lot of questions from reporters before the game. However, there was a reason for this. Tonight was a big day for him, because the league officially announced today that the Rookie of the Year Award for the 2010-2011 season belonged to him. As the first Chinese player to win this award in NBA history, he naturally became the focus of reporters' interviews.

"Lin, I don't know what you think about becoming the best player in the 2010 rookie class. Oh, by the way, this group of rookies also includes the 2009 No. [-] pick Blake Griffin. I don't know what you think about defeating the two No. [-] picks at once. Have you ever expected such a result?"

The first question is naturally related to the fact that he will win the best rookie trophy tonight.

Lin Yang replied: "I have to say that this is a crazy thing. No one can predict that they will win the best rookie trophy before the start of the season. That is not a normal prediction, especially this year's rookies. There are many good guys. I don't have a complete advantage in comparison with them. However, what surprised me is that my growth rate exceeded expectations. I met a very good home court. I also have a group of very good teammates. It's just the beginning, my footsteps will not stop after this trophy arrives, my eyes have already looked further afield, of course, anyway, this feeling is great! I have accomplished one of my goals! So I am enjoying this moment!"
