I feel hot in the NBA

Chapter 52 This is normal
Lin Yang watched a lot of materials and videos about the Spurs guard linemen before the game. From the whole pre-match materials, Bogans, who is good at defense, has nothing that Lin Yang needs to pay attention to. If the "feeling hot" mode is not turned on, Lin Yang will basically not make strong shots, and he is not the main attacker of the lineup, so Bogans is not afraid of him no matter how good his defense is.

Tony Parker and Lin Yang in position 1 didn't take it too seriously. Although Parker is an All-Star player and the fmvp of the finals, his height is only 88 meters. Lin Yang is 14cm taller than him. Nipak and Lin Yang have nothing to fear.

The same is true for George Hill. At 1 meters tall, he is too short compared to Lin Yang.

Only Manu Ginobili is Lin Yang's opponent who had a headache before the game. "Snake Step" is too difficult to defend. If he really matches up on the court, Lin Yang dares to pat his chest and guarantee that Manu Ginobili can hit him with the ball a few times. Break through!
Well, using Rejoice is so confident!
However, the charm of basketball lies in this. Just because you can't defend against it doesn't mean that this player can't stop it!
Manu Ginobili is indeed a rare breakthrough master in the league, especially after he has changed direction drastically, he can suddenly twist his waist like a snake and change direction again, which makes it even more difficult for defenders defending him.

But even Manu Ginobili, after using up the "snake step", it is difficult for him to make another change of direction.

In other words, after Manu Ginobili finished using the "snake step", his breakthrough route is basically clear. At this time, in addition to being careful about his time difference layup, he only needs to pay attention to his passing!

For these, other players Lin Yang does not know if he can pay attention to it. Tyson Chandler can definitely limit Manu Ginobili very well.

As Lin Yang expected, Tyson Chandler's two help defenses were perfect!

Ginobili failed to score in both attacks.

Marion picked up the rebound and made a fast break. Unfortunately, he missed the last shot. The Mavericks finally ended the first quarter with a 5-point lead.

"Lin, you really hit the spot! The guy on the second attack really wanted to pass the ball. Fortunately, I attracted Antonio to the other side in advance. Otherwise, the ball would have passed to him!"

The players on the Mavericks team walked off the field as the time ended. Tyson Chandler rushed over to hook Lin Yang excitedly. Manu Ginobili can be regarded as one of the most difficult outside players in the league to block shots. Today he actually gave a big block head-on. This feeling is really cool!

"Tyson Chandler is definitely the best defender in the league. Looking at his two timely help defenses, I really can't think of any other player who can perform like Tyson Chandler, especially when he is facing Manu Ginobili!"

Kenny Smith blew up Tyson Chandler's two make-up defenses.

Barkley also nodded secretly. Tyson Chandler's help defense in these two goals was indeed very good.

"The No. 8 rookie of the Mavericks is still a level behind in defensive ability in front of the league's first-line guards!"

"Of course, Lin is a pure rookie who has just played 3 games in the league. It is normal for such a rookie to be unable to guard against Manu Ginobili. For him, this kind of matchup is more about learning experience."

In their opinion, Lin Yang failed to defend Manu Ginobili these two times. If it weren't for Tyson Chandler's excellent defense, in these two rounds, Manu Ginobili would have beaten Lin Yang by at least two blocks.

However, these are normal phenomena. If Lin Yang can prevent Manu Ginobili, it will be abnormal.

***
Lin Yang was also restricted by Manu Ginobili on the offensive end today. He only got 1 assist in all the time he played in the first quarter. Apart from that, he didn't perform any more on the offensive end, and he didn't even have a chance to make a shot.

He calculated Manu Ginobili on the defensive end, and Manu Ginobili also completed a single defense against him on the defensive end. Lin Yang rarely got the ball.

It's a tough guy!
Lin Yang's task in this game is to hit all the first three shots. According to the current strength of Manu's defense against him, the probability that he can complete this task is not much different from the probability that he can score 30 points in this game.

Lin Yang even felt that he was likely to get zero seals in this game!

"Coach Rick, how do you evaluate your rookie? His performance in this game does not seem to be very impressive!"

During the break in the first quarter, Rick Carlisle accepted a question from an ESPN reporter. The first question pointed to Lin Yang who only got one assist in all the time he played in the first quarter.

"Can we think that he has trouble in this game, and this kind of trouble is likely to become the norm in the future?"

"Hey, man, I don't agree with you. In the last 2 minutes of Lin's playing, the Mavericks opened up the score by 5 points again. This proves that the Spurs did not take advantage of him during the time he was on the court!"

"This is enough!"

……

Rick Carlisle is really not satisfied with Lin Yang's performance this time, but he is definitely not disappointed. As he himself said, as long as the team is leading during Lin Yang's time on the field, it proves that his playing is beneficial to the team.

Moreover, he is also very clear that Manu Ginobili, who Lin Yang encountered in this game, is a rare player with excellent offensive and defensive skills in the second position in the league. It is already very good to be able to achieve this level.

Nothing to be disappointed about.

Lin Yang is just a rookie!

At the beginning of the second quarter, Rick Carlisle took all the starters except Tyson Chandler from the beginning. He didn't let Lin Yang play again, because he noticed that Ginobili on the opposite side continued to stay on the court.

***
The Mavericks sent almost all of the starting lineup, but failed to continue to expand the point difference.

After all, with the Spurs' three carriages on the court, the Mavericks really couldn't take advantage of it in a few rounds.

The two sides were in a stalemate for about 4 minutes. Manu Ginobili suddenly exerted his strength and scored 5 points in a row to equalize the score difference.

This kid is finally smoking again!
Popovich also breathed a sigh of relief seeing Manu's scoring momentum.

"Tyson, get on the court!"

The defensive formation on the field was smashed to pieces by Manu, and Rick Carlisle had to bring Tyson Chandler back on the field to stabilize the defensive formation on the field.
