I feel hot in the NBA

Chapter 266

The timeout didn't save the Hornets' lives.

The Mavericks took control of the situation and successfully extended the score difference to 15 points before the end of the first half.

This point difference did not shrink in the second half. Everyone in the Hornets except Chris Paul seemed weak. In the end, the game time was over within this 15-point point difference.

The Mavericks managed to hold Game 115 of the playoffs on their home court, beating the Hornets 100-[-].

"The Mavericks showed their strong dominance in this game. Since the second quarter of the game, this team has never let the Hornets lead once again. Although it cannot be fully explained, it must be said that this year's Mavericks seem to be really different from the past few years. They have achieved great success in the regular season. They played an excellent dominance. Now, they have brought this dominance to the playoffs. Let us once again congratulate the Mavericks for winning this game."

ESPN commentator Reggie Miller summed up the Mavericks' victory tonight.

"There is no doubt that this is a good start. Of course, we still have a long way to go. We need to continue to work hard before reaching the final destination. However, we did play very well tonight and won this game very well. We defended our home court, which is conducive to our next schedule!"

Nowitzki, who scored a total of 28 points and 9 rebounds in this game, attended the post-match press conference. He was also very happy for tonight's victory.

And his own performance is also very satisfactory.

His continuous strong play in the middle of the second quarter helped the team take the lead, and that lead ensured that they could win the final victory.

"What do you think of Lin Yang's performance tonight? He didn't play a miracle moment, and he didn't hit any three-pointers!" A reporter asked Nowitzki about Lin Yang's performance.

Lin Yang only scored 10 points today and didn't hit a three-pointer. Compared with the average of 19.8 points in the regular season, this score is not small for the miracle boy who can always make several consecutive three-pointers in a game.

"Lin's performance is still there. Although he only scored 10 points and hasn't hit any three-pointers, this is why he is an indispensable part of the Mavericks. His contribution to the team is not one aspect, but multiple aspects, so we can't just look at his three-pointers or his scoring. When he is not good enough in this area, there must be other things that are better than usual, such as his passing. He has 15 assists today. This is how he helped this team. People get a more favorable offensive space."

However, Nowitzki does not have any worries about Lin Yang because of his low score. One season is enough for him to have full confidence in Lin Yang's ability.

……

The same question was also asked to tonight's party Lin Yang: "Did the defensive intensity in the playoffs make you feel uncomfortable?"

"Dude, do you think a player with 15 assists is uncomfortable with tonight's game?"

Lin Yang asked a question back, and the reporters around him laughed, and the reporter who asked the question also laughed.

"Scoring or assisting, for me, it depends on which method can help the team better. When the team finally wins, no matter which method I use, it is correct. Man, 15 assists is not so easy to get, isn't it?"

This is the first game in which the system feels changed from copper to silver. Lin Yang originally wanted to try the upgraded feel, but he was dumbfounded when he heard the task, and scored 15 points to turn on the positive heat mode.

Whoops, let me go, if I have the ability to complete the task, why should I turn on this mode?

I can get 15 points, can I still not get 16 points and 17 points?

As a result, Lin Yang worked hard for the whole game, and finally scored 10 points, which was 5 points short of completing the task. Fortunately, after hearing the system task, he didn't expect to start the "feeling hot" mode, and put all his thoughts on the organization. In the end, he got 15 assists.

The 15 assists actually broke the NBA rookie's highest assists in a single game in the playoffs. The previous record was 10 in a single game held by Jazz legend Stockton, but now this record has been directly raised to 15 by Lin Yang.

"Lin, congratulations on breaking another historical record. You have now become the player with the highest number of assists in a single game in your rookie season. I don't know what you think about this. Have you thought about breaking this record in the first playoff game of your career?"

The breaking of this record was naturally noticed by reporters.

Lin Yang thought for a while and said directly: "There is nothing to say about this record. I have a group of outstanding teammates. I passed some balls and they made them. Then I broke the historical record. It's as simple as that!"

He tried to give all the credit to his teammates.

"In the Mavericks, assists are really good!"

"To be honest, as far as the Mavericks are concerned, anyone who goes to the first position can get good assist data, right?"

"Lin didn't really have any sense of presence in the offense tonight, but the number of assists made him seem important. In fact, he just passed some balls, but the player who got the ball scored the ball well!"

……

What Lin Yang didn't expect was that some fans took it for granted that he got these assists. In their view, the Mavericks can score too many points, and passing casually is a point that can be attacked.

They firmly grasped that Lin Yang only scored 10 points tonight, and questioned his performance on the offensive end.

"The playoffs are not regular seasons, and the brilliance of Miracle Boy has also faded with the increase in the intensity of the playoffs. Of course, this is also normal. In the history of the NBA, there has never been a powerful Asian outside line, and Lin will not be an exception!"

ESPN's well-known columnist Zach Lowe questioned Lin Yang for the first time in this game, thinking that his scoring performance in the regular season was due to too little defense, and now, the arrival of the playoffs makes it impossible for him to perform like that again!
His point of view has been recognized by many people, because the Mavericks played against the wind in this game, and they only scored 10 points in such a situation. Who knows how low his score will be when the wind is headed!
