This Forward is Not Serious

As the season gradually unfolded, many lists in the league began to attract the attention of the outside world.

In addition to the most watched record list, there are also individual data lists and rookie lists.

Yes, you can understand that you have nothing to do, but ESPN will indeed perform real-time rankings based on the performance of rookies (only the top ten).

The latest rookie list was just updated yesterday:

1. Kevin Durant: averaged 19.9 points and 2.3 assists per game, shooting 40.2% from the field and 27% from three points;

2. Lin Ying: averaged 9.4 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.1 blocks per game, shooting 52% from the field and 40.2% from three points;

3. Al Horford: 8.7 points and 10.1 rebounds per game, shooting 50%;

4. Jamario Moon;

5. Juan Carlos Navarro;

6. Yi Jianlian: averaged 9.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 0.7 assists and 1.2 blocks per game, shooting 43% from the field and 33.3% from the three-point range;

7. Scola;

8. Jeff Green;

9. Daquin Cook;

10. Nick Young.

Lin Ying ranked fourth among all rookies in scoring, ranked in the top five in assists and rebounds, and ranked first among rookies in field goal percentage.

Yi Jianlian's words were originally ranked third in this list, but he began to hit the rookie wall after entering late November, and his performance dropped.

Noah? No Noah!

In fact, in the first month, many rookies didn't get too many opportunities to play, and Noah belongs to the kind that gave opportunities but struggled.

As November drew to a close, in addition to the list itself, the topic of "Rookie of the Month" was pulled out.

According to the current league rules, Rookie of the Month is the same mechanism as Player of the Month.

There are two quotas per month, one for the east and the west.

There is a high probability of Horford on the east side, and the suspense and highlights are on the west side.

Originally, Durant had unlimited firepower, crushing all opponents in terms of statistics.

But as Lin Ying hit a triple-double and Anthony was suspended for more than a week, everything became suspenseful.

After all, Durant's efficiency in the first month was a bit low.

The twin stars from the University of Texas will start a fierce "competition" for the best in the first month of the season in the coming week.

A day later, the Nuggets continued to sit at home against the Kings.

During the draft, Lin Ying kicked Noah out of the pit of the bull, and then Noah was kicked to Sacramento.

Adelman left the team, and the popular Kings fell apart.

Divac retired, Webber and Peja were traded and left the team one after another due to internal strife, and the only imprint, Mike Bibby, was also deeply involved in the trading whirlpool.

However, the Kings lineup is not bad.

On the outside, Bibby added Kevin Pengciyimu Martin, on the front line Artest Gabrad Miller, and on the center "Snake Man" Mickey Moore.

On the bench, there are giants like John Salmons and Francisco Garcia, the rookie has Noah, and the veteran has Kenny Thomas.

The overall configuration of this lineup is good, and theoretically it also has the strength to hit the playoffs.

It's just that they interpreted the phrase "basketball games are more than just looking at the lineup on paper" with their performance. They have 3 wins and 6 losses so far, ranking last in the Western Conference.

Anthony encountered such an opponent after being suspended, which is the best thing for the Nuggets.

It's just that the game is not as simple as imagined.

Karl sent his best lineup in this game: Iverson, JR Smith, Lin Ying, Martin, Nene.

This is also the lineup used by the Nuggets in the final game against the Rockets.

At the beginning of the game, the Kings focused on marking Iverson, and Lin Ying sent out wonderful passes for Smith.

However, JR Smith made outrageous shots one after another, and even almost missed the ball with the ball.

He didn't bring a knife tonight again!

Kevin Martin seized the opportunity to score consecutively, and the Kings turned away and made a 5-0 start.

After a bad start, Iverson also cut into the "I'll handle everything" mode, holding the ball and beckoning the pick-and-roll to do it himself.

He played 3 times in a row. Except for one foul and two free throws, the remaining two shots missed in pincers.

The Kings also made persistent efforts, pulling the score to 10-2.

Under the unfavorable situation, Martin and Artest almost had a conflict.

Carl was forced to call a timeout.

There is still a gap between ideal and reality, and the victory in the last game makes people feel that the Nuggets are finally on the right track.

Then the Nuggets immediately slapped the fans hard with their performance!

During the timeout, Karl only emphasized two things: the defense flanked Kevin Martin, and then the positional battle gave the damn ball to Lin Ying!

After eating big fish and meat, why would you want to eat simple food again?

After experiencing the smooth and smooth offense against the Rockets in the last game, he really didn't want to watch the turnip squatting style of play.

After a timeout, Karl made personnel adjustments, replacing Martin, who was emotionally fluctuating, with Kleiza, and replaced Lin Ying to the fourth position.

Lin Ying holds the ball at the top of the arc.

But the Nuggets still have no good chances.

The head coach of the Kings is young coach Reggie Toyce, who is a defensive coach.

He knew that Smith was not in good shape, so the defensive strategy he formulated was very targeted: keeping a close eye on Iverson from the outside and shrinking from the inside.

This strategy is stuck seven inches for the Nuggets. Lin Ying must either continue to give the ball to Smith to try his hand, or he has to change his mind.

He chose the latter.

He made a tactical gesture, handed the ball to Iverson, and then dropped down with his back against Miller and reached out for the ball.

Iverson fed the ball in and cut to the basket.

He has seen Lin Ying play in the Asian Championships before.

It was also in that match that he became interested in Lin Ying.

Then, Lin Ying hit the earth without looking at anyone and came over.

Iverson catches the ball and jumps up, facing Moore who is supplementing the defense, he pulls the bar to dodge and turn blue!

Support can not only play high positions, but also low positions!

This wave of coordination rekindled the emotions of Denver fans.

The familiar feeling of playing rockets before is here again!

Returning to the familiar feeling, the enthusiasm of the Nuggets' defensive end is also improving.

Lin Ying assisted in defending against Kevin Martin. Martin wanted to make a foul but the referee didn't call, and the ball was directly "robbed" by Lin Ying.

Compared with the second generation, the living environment of the first generation is not so comfortable.

The Nuggets played a defensive counterattack, and Smith scored 2 points with a fast break dunk.

10 to 6.

Carl's call for a timeout was immediate.

And fans can feel that it is the best solution for the Nuggets to give the ball to Lin Ying now.

At the critical moment, it was Artest who stood up for the Kings. He broke through to the basket and hung Kleiza to send the ball into the basket!

A sea dog pill is as strong as a tiger!

This way of playing has the flavor of James!

In fact, Artest averaged 20+6+4 per game this season, and also averaged 2.3 steals per game, which is a bit similar in terms of statistics.

Artest made a free throw.

13 to 6.

As mentioned earlier, although the Kings have a poor record but a good lineup, it is not so easy for the Nuggets to win.

In the Nuggets' round, Lin Ying continued to support with a low post.

This time the Kings were visibly wary of his passing.

And they are very tight.

Lin Ying is in the low post, and the only Nuggets who can shoot three-pointers from the outside with confidence are Smith. However, Smith doesn't feel good from the outside today.

At this time, there was already a five-second rule for turning back. After seeing that his teammates had no chance, he signaled to pull away, and then turned around and turned into a face-up frame.

Brad Miller, nicknamed "Big Pyrenees", is 2.13 meters tall and weighs close to 120 kilograms. He has a high ball quotient and excellent passing ability.

When Miller was young, he had a strong playing style. He once punched O'Neal and was used to being labeled a "villain" by the media.

Although he has nothing to do with that label, he made his debut with tough defense when he was young.

But now he is 31 years old, his defensive enthusiasm has been reduced due to aging, injuries, and declining status in the team. Now his defense has long lost its previous sharpness, leaving only experience and awareness, and slowness.

Lin Ying made a fake breakthrough, and Miller took a step back, with a slightly nervous expression on his face.

Um, what is this for?

Lin Ying may not have realized it, but in fact, because of his previous "brilliant deeds" against the Spurs, he is the real villain!

But Lin Ying didn't think much about it. Seeing that Miller had retreated, he had room to shoot, so he raised his hand and shot.

If you hesitate, you will lose, and if you are decisive...

"Shua!"

There will be gains!

Lin Ying made a mid-range shot!

His hands look great!

It seems that Smith's shot was dropped tonight and he picked it up!

This immediately boosted Lin Ying's confidence.

The mid-range is the most unstable link in his low-post skills. If he can also make shots, his low-post options will increase.

The Nuggets defended again, and Lin Ying continued to hold the ball in a low position.

The Kings have no intention of double-teaming yet.

This is not surprising, compared to Lin Ying's low attack, they are obviously more afraid of Lin Ying's pass.

Lin Ying held the ball and faced Miller again.

This time he raised his hand to make a fake shot.

Miller jumped up straight away.

Whether the first mid-range can be shot or not is completely different, and it has nothing to do with defensive experience and awareness.

Especially for a rookie like Lin Ying who is constantly evolving, it is difficult for you to judge how many weapons he has in his arsenal.

In fact, Yi Jianlian played exactly like this, but he didn't have Lin Ying's pass threat and was easily double-teamed, and his speed was still slow.

But Lin Ying's words, soon.

At the same time that Miller jumped up, he had already dribbled the ball from the side of the free throw line with a cat on his waist.

"Boom!"

Without giving Moore a chance to help defend in place, Lin Ying broke into the basket and it was a one-handed dunk!

Easy to get 2 points, Miller is still easy to play!

If it were Hayes instead, he would probably not be able to move it for a long time.

This dunk also ignited the emotions of the Denver fans, and there were defensive shouts on the scene.

Kings offense or no!

Their scoring consistency is a bit off.

Looking back, Lin Ying continued to hold the ball, and Miller was a little bit of a retreat...

Lin Ying took the opportunity to take a step forward when she saw it, elbowing the way.

Miller made a small move, but he happened to walk towards the basket with Lin Ying.

Anyway, when I was young, I also made a living by doing little tricks!

But when he got to the basket, Lin Ying just turned around and he couldn't keep up.

I am too old to be able to do what I want!

Of course, Lin Ying didn't take any ballet dances, he learned Duncan's skills, not movements.

After he turned around, the non-shooting hand kept facing Miller and refused to jump, and then took another hook.

"Shua!"

Lin Ying performed a hat-trick on Miller!

This is the extreme of "those who are taller than me are not as fast as me".

The Denver fans at the scene watched the excitement.

You may not believe it, but in the past few waves, they saw a trace of Duncan from Lin Ying!

With this solid basic skills and footsteps, Lin Ying really surprised them once again!

And, this is just the beginning.

Miller defended to the back and basically let Lin Ying cast. After seeing it, Toyes immediately reached out and motioned for Moore to switch defenses.

Moore is 2.13 meters tall and weighs 102 kilograms. He is a typical thin and fast insider with better speed than Miller.

But what Lin Ying is best at playing inside is this kind of inside line.

The face frame was replaced back to the back frame again, a few chisels to the basket, a fly against Moore, and a dunk when it flew!

You may not believe it when you say it, Moore is 2.13 meters tall and plays an inside swingman, but he has played in the NBA for 11 years and has not averaged more than 1 block per game in a season.

He might be better at raising snakes than playing ball!

Lin Ying dunked two consecutively, and Moore could only look at Troyes pitifully.

That expression seemed to say: Help me, coach!

Toyes waved his hand at the end, and Noah came off the bench!

This substitution of the Kings directly brought the emotions of the fans to the peak.

The matter of Lin Ying killing Noah 6 and ribs with one elbow was on the TNT program at that time, and it became a hot search!

When the NBA meets again, Noah should want to come back, right?

Fuck your sister!

When Nuoah came on stage, he saw Lin Ying's eyes full of fear.

In fact, he wanted to do it back at the beginning. After all, it happened too fast at the beginning, and he didn't even react.

But after seeing Lin Ying's "excellent performance" against the Spurs in the news a few days ago, he immediately gave up.

A ruthless person like Holly Bowen has suffered, how could he still have thoughts!

Ever since, Lin Ying beat Noah 2.0 in the NBA.

Although a few ribs were not broken this time, Noah was really beaten.

The cultivation of NBA rookies has a lot to do with the environment.

You change Durant from the Sonics to other teams, and he really may not be able to play so early.

The same is true for Lin Ying. If he hadn't met Karl in the Nuggets and met a style of play that suits him, he would probably be sitting on the bench.

Noah is naturally the same.

In history, he struggled with the Bulls at the beginning, but at least the Bulls had a training plan for him, and later sent away all of Ben for him.

As a result, we are now in Sacramento, a place known as one of the graves of rookies in history. From the start of the game until now, it can only be described as struggling.

The confrontation has not started, the technology has not increased, and the experience is still almost the same as when it followed the alliance.

It's no wonder Lin Ying didn't hang him to beat him!

Noah: Sorry! You shouldn't have done that in the first place!

Noah was beaten completely without fighting spirit, and Toyes had one head and two big ones.

This scene... looks like giving away heads one by one!

But he couldn't arrange double teams, because Lin Ying's pass threat was also extremely huge.

As for Artest, based on Lin Ying's golf quotient, as soon as Artest came over, he gave the ball to Iverson.

Without Artest, Bibby alone can't stop the AI!

He got up and took another look at the bench, waved his big hand again, and veteran Kenny Thomas came on the field!

With a height of 2.01 meters and a wingspan of 2.20 meters, Thomas weighs 112 kilograms. He is a standard heavy and short insider.

The most important point is that his bullet speed is fast and his feet are flexible. Except for Yao Ming and Duncan's level, he can't defend against others.

When Thomas came up, Lin Ying was indeed restricted a lot. This kind of old ball ruffian and style can be regarded as restraining Lin Ying's existence.

However, Lin Ying's learning speed was indeed astonishing. After a few rounds, he found Thomas' weakness.

He is too short, obviously not 2.01 meters, and Lin Ying rarely experienced a height advantage in the paint.

But there is no way to do it. When I was young, I played small forward, and I also partnered with Yao Ming.

When I get older, I can't lose weight so I can only switch to a big front.

Lin Ying turned on the footsteps and hook mode with her back on her back, and experienced the thrill of playing the real Yao Ming once in a while.

Ever since, after Brad Miller, Mickey Moore, and Joakim Noah, Thomas was defeated by Lin Ying again.

And being defensive, Thomas also lost his defensive fighting spirit just like the previous three, watching Lin Ying turn around and dunk in front of him.

Toyes turned his head and looked at the bench again. There were no insiders to change, and the few who were replaced had no fighting spirit. Suddenly, helplessness filled his heart:

In the huge Sacramento, none of the kings who swept the alliance in the past is a man!

(Confucianism, in the old days, generally refers to scholars, and also intends to use "cowardly", which means cowardly.)

ps: Thanks to the hardworking little beggar for the reward!
