NBA: I haven't played a game but I'm full of talent

At the beginning of the game, Reina, who had an advantage in height, was not able to suppress Jefferson in the jump ball stage, and the ball first fell into the hands of the Celtics.

After West dribbled the ball through the half, the Celtics began to move.

It can be seen that because the five players on the field are all Celtics' rotation players, they obviously have certain tactics involved.

Especially between West and Jefferson, there was a wrong coordination, allowing Jefferson to receive a pass near the three-second zone.

This is a relatively deep position. Jefferson, who got the ball, hardly thought about it.

However, at this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he vaguely noticed a figure approaching him quickly.

Although he couldn't see the person clearly, Jefferson vaguely sensed a hint of danger, and the frequency of his movements couldn't help but speed up.

The figure that Jefferson found was exactly Ling Yang.

More than 100 consecutive simulated games have greatly increased his ability to read the game.

After Jefferson got the ball, Ling Yang immediately judged that the opponent was going to play hard, so he immediately abandoned his defensive players and quickly shrank to the inside.

Of course, Ling Yang also knows that there are certain risks in doing this. If Jefferson passes the ball, the player he is facing will immediately get an open shot.

However, his defense is still decisive.

According to his judgment, such a choice is more correct.

Seeing that Jefferson did not plan to pass the ball as he expected, but wanted to avoid his own defense, Ling Yang's movements also accelerated.

At the moment when Jefferson turned around and took the ball, Ling Yang shot decisively...

"Snapped!"

The yellow-skinned big hand precisely cut the basketball that Jefferson was holding in both hands. The next moment, Ling Yang took advantage of the situation and grabbed the ball directly in his hand.

Steal!

In the first round of the game, Ling Yang relied on his excellent defensive judgment to complete a steal!

This brightened the eyes of Gentry who was watching from the sidelines.

Gentry is not only the Sun's chief assistant, but also the team's defensive coach.

Gentry was greatly surprised by Ling Yang's defensive enthusiasm and reading of the game.

Just when Gentry was thinking this way, the Suns had completed a defensive counterattack on the court.

Immediately after completing the steal, Ling Yang passed the ball to point guard Barrett.

Barrett is not tall, only 1 meters, but his speed is extremely good. After receiving the ball, he just threw off West and completed a one-stop layup.

With a score of 2:0, the Suns scored first.

Jefferson was a little annoyed when he conceded a goal and lost a point in the first round.

When the Celtics attacked again, Jefferson went directly to the low post to ask for the ball.

Jefferson was the No. 15 pick in the first round last year, and in the past year, he was also one of the Celtics' important rotation players. He is an undoubted core player in the Celtics' summer league lineup.

Even West, who is also in the second grade, passed the ball immediately after seeing it.

Jefferson held the ball and looked in the direction of Ling Yang with disbelief, his eyes seemed to say: "Come back to help defend!"

For Jefferson's provocative eyes, Ling Yang was not moved at all.

In terms of NBA game experience, Jefferson only played for one season, but Ling Yang "played" for more than two seasons!

Ling Yang knew that Reina couldn't defend Jefferson, he was ready to help defend, but the timing of the help defense was more important.

He patiently watched Jefferson turn around and hold the ball basket, watched the latter dribble a feint, found a loophole in Reina's defense and squeezed into the three-second zone.

Ling Yang, who had been prepared for a long time, also rushed into the inside line at this moment, and then arrived in time when Jefferson was about to attack the basket, jumped up from the side, and directly swept towards Jefferson with his long and big hands top of the head.

"Snapped!"

Once again, the palm of the hand accurately slapped the orange basketball!

Jefferson tried to struggle, but in the end he couldn't hold the ball, and the basketball fell directly to the ground.

Cover!

After completing a steal against Jefferson in the first round, Ling Yang immediately got a block over Jefferson's head in the second round!

On the sidelines, Gentry's eyes became more suspicious at this time, and there was a hint of excitement.

If he still thought it was a coincidence that Ling Yang's timely assistance to complete the steal in the first round, this time, he would never think so again.

Ling Yang's choice of the timing of assisting defense and the timing of taking off and blocking the block all tell him how excellent Ling Yang's assisting defense ability is.

All this made him feel excited.

As the team's defensive coach, he is well aware of the Sun's shortcomings on the defensive end. It can even be said that last season, the Sun's defensive weakness was all-round.

This summer, the team's goal is to strengthen the inside defense and the wing defense, so as to plug the defensive deficiency of the team's dual-core Nash and Stoudemire combination.

And Ling Yang's performance in the two rounds made him see the shadow of a top wing defender.

It's just that at this moment, thinking of the evaluation of Ling Yang in the original scout report, Gentry was also a little puzzled.

"Isn't Ling's biggest shortcoming the lack of experience in the game and the lack of ability to read the game? But this kind of game judgment ability, is this called never playing a game?"

However, this little doubt was immediately covered up by the inner satisfaction towards Ling Yang.

On the court, the Suns once again completed a counterattack.

This time, it was Ling Yang who followed up to score!

He rushed to the frontcourt directly after blocking the shot, and before the Celtics' formation was stable, he slotted into the inside line, and after receiving the pass, he made an easy two-handed dunk!

"Excellent athletic ability and defensive counterattack awareness!"

Seeing this scene, Gentry felt more and more that Ling Yang was very suitable for Sun.

Under D'Antoni's 7-second offensive system, a player with impact like Ling Yang is needed.

He was beaten 4-0 by the Suns at the beginning, and it was all counterattacks caused by his own offense being defended. Jefferson's inner anger can be imagined.

Falling into half court, he took the ball and attacked the basket for the third time.

Ling Yang appeared again and arrived in time at the moment Jefferson took off.

This time, Jefferson, who had been prepared for a long time, did not give Ling Yang a chance to steal or block, and used the time difference to avoid Ling Yang's supplementary defense.

But at the same time, his own shot was disturbed, and the ball spun around the rim and fell out.

The rebound also fell into the hands of the Suns.

The Celtics retreated more timely this time, forcing the Suns into a positional battle.

Once caught in a positional battle, Ling Yang's threat was immediately reduced a lot, and he tried to cut to the basket many times, but Barrett is not a point guard of Paul's level after all, so he couldn't get the ball in time.

However, perhaps the words of encouragement just before Ling Yang played played a role. Several players of the Suns played very patiently. In the end, power forward Burke took advantage of the height difference and forced Gomez to win.

The score became 6:0.

Handing over three consecutive rounds to Jefferson failed to attack effectively, and the Celtics also began to change their strategy at this time.

As for the Suns, under the leadership of Ling Yang, they gained an advantage in the start, which immediately changed the momentum of the entire team.

Under the defensive pressure of the Suns, the Celtics didn't force a shot by West until almost 24 seconds later, and it also bounced out of the basket.

The Suns here are full of momentum, and the oppression of the defense continues to increase, while the Celtics on the other side are obviously caught off guard by the Suns.

Both offensive and defensive ends were obviously out of shape. The game started for 2 and a half minutes, and the score on the field became 10:0!

Seeing this terrible score, the assistant coach leading the Celtics finally couldn't help calling a timeout.

At the same time, he had the same doubts as Gentry in his mind.

The Celtics have studied Ling Yang, and even considered whether to choose Ling Yang with the later pick, but they were hesitant at the time, because they were not sure whether Ling Yang had the ability to adapt to the NBA, his understanding of basketball and Can the reading ability of the competition be improved?

But now, looking at Ling Yang who led the team to suppress his own team, the assistant coach of the Celtics also has a black question mark on his face...

This is called never playing a game?
