Chapter 300: It's Hard to Stand Alone

Jeremy Lin broke through with the ball in the top arc! He got past Thompson in one step and quickly rushed to the inside! Whiteside makes up for the defense, wow! Brooke, who doesn't look at the pass from the back and receives a pass from Jeremy Lin. Lopez scored with a one-handed dunk! ”

As a live DJ of the Wizards, I couldn't help but cheer for Jeremy Lin when he saw his flowing offense.

Accustomed to Curry's accurate three-point shooting, when I see Jeremy Lin's completely different style of play, it is inevitable to give people a feeling of brightness.

Especially in the playoffs, when the defensive intensity is high and there are more than one game in the regular season, it is really rare to still be able to play with such ease.

Jeremy Lin, who has played in the league for three seasons, already has the nickname of the yellow-skinned magician, and his momentum is even closer to the current No. 1 point guard in the league. Paul.

In the first quarter of the game, Jeremy Lin played well, scoring 10 points and 3 assists on 5-of-8 shooting.

However, it was the Wizards who dominated the game in the first quarter.

At 31:22, the Nets trailed by nine points in the first quarter.

The Nets only have one Jeremy Lin, and perhaps one Lopez, but the Wizards have Curry, Thompson, George and Leonard.

The depth of the squad is completely disproportionate.

The Nets' remaining three starters are power forward Chris. Humphries, small forward Reggie. Evans and the summer trading point guard Joe. Johnson.

The most powerful of the three is All-Star Joe. Johnson, but Joe has already spent his prime with the Hawks. Johnson's level of competition has begun to slip gradually.

Last season with the Eagles, Joe. Johnson can still contribute 18.8 points per game, but this season in the Nets, under the feeding of Jeremy Lin, the average points per game still dropped to 17.2 points, which can only be regarded as the team's third scoring point, and the shooting rate is only 43.5%, which is not stable.

The gap in the lineup is far from something that Jeremy Lin can erase alone.

Not to mention Jeremy Lin, even when Jordan was at his peak, without the help of his teammates, he couldn't take care of himself by the Pistons all year round.

Wang Xiao feels that the current wizards are stronger than the bad boy army back then, and in the past two years, this lineup has grown to its peak, even the Dynasty Bull led by Qiao Gang Leader is not without the power to fight!

……

In the second quarter of the game, Jeremy Lin was still ready to lead the team to chase points with his personal ability, and he did it at the beginning.

He first hit a three-pointer from the outside to cut the deficit to six points, and then steals Curry's pass and assists Joe. Johnson dunked to score to chase the difference to four points, and relied on instant defense to successfully prevent a three-point shot after Curry ran without the ball, dribbling to the front court and hoisting the ball to Lopez, who was in a good position on the inside, who singled Whiteside to make a foul and made 2 of 2 free throws.

In the blink of an eye, the Wizards' nine-point advantage in the first quarter of the game was reduced to only 2 points.

The situation took a turn for the worse, Wang Xiao stood on the sidelines with his hands on his chest, but he didn't mean to call a timeout.

At this time, Jeremy Lin is the only one playing on the Nets court, and if his team can't adjust itself in this situation and needs to call a timeout, it will be too much of a failure!

As Wang Xiao expected, after a short period of panic, Curry and the others quickly calmed down.

Although Jeremy Lin is strong, the Nets' weakness is too obvious.

George took over the game on his own initiative.

Humphries is a blue-collar player with a tough defense and aggressive fighting, and it was precisely because of his presence that Yi Jianlian had no ball to play in the Nets.

But like most blue-collar insiders, they are somewhat at a loss when faced with a pseudo-insider like George.

Under the guise of a big forward, George's style of play is a standard small forward style, standing at the top arc and holding the ball, the opponent is far away from the three points, and the distance is too close to break through.

With Humphries' speed, it was difficult to prevent George's breakthrough with the ball, which caused the Nets' already not strong defense to collapse directly.

George scored several singles in a row, and in an instant, the score gap that Jeremy Lin had managed to recover widened again.

And this time, Jeremy Lin still wanted to recover the point difference, but it became impossible.

Because Curry, who he has been targeting, has also opened.

Jeremy Lin is very strong defensively, and it can even be said that he is the strongest at the point guard position right now, even better than Paul.

But Curry is, after all, the most scoring point guard in history, and even Jeremy Lin will never be able to lock him down completely.

Two difficult three-point shots, even though Jeremy Lin's defense was in place and completely blocked Curry's eyes, the basketball still hit accurately.

The score difference that finally caught up was not only widened again in the blink of an eye, but also directly expanded to more than double digits.

At this time, the head coach of the Nets couldn't bear it and took the lead in calling a timeout.

But it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and the gap in the lineup cannot be made up by calling a timeout, even if it is called a hundred more timeouts, it still can't be beaten.

After the pause, the difference continued to widen, and with the introduction of the substitute lineups of the two sides, the difference came to more than 20 points before I knew it.

……

Sitting on the bench, watching his teammates running back and forth on the field, but the score difference became wider and wider, Jeremy Lin's face was bitter.

"It's really worthy of being a coach, and sure enough, the gap is still too big."

This result did not come as a surprise to Jeremy Lin at all.

For Wang Xiao's ability, he has the deepest experience, can make Harvard University, a team that is at the bottom of the Ivy League, become an NCAA championship champion in just one year, what else can a coach not do?

It's just that his own team is so vulnerable to the Wizards that Jeremy Lin has been hit hard.

……

By the time the third quarter of the game ended, the suspense had actually been lost.

The Wizards entered the fourth quarter with a 27-point lead, and Jeremy Lin, who had been on the game for 31 minutes, did not have much physical strength to lead the team to continue chasing points.

Despite this, Jeremy Lin still refused to give up in the fourth quarter of the game and insisted on playing the court.

In the end, Jeremy Lin played 36 minutes in the whole game, shooting 11-of-24 and getting a quasi-triple-double of 28 points, 8 rebounds and 13 assists, and the scoring and assists were the highest for both teams.

However, the score of the two teams was 107-88 for the Wizards, who scored 19 points.

Jeremy Lin lost the game, but won the stats.

The main core of the Wizards, point guard Stephen Brown. Curry was an all-round underdog in the game against Jeremy Lin, scoring just 18 points on 7-of-16 shooting, 2-of-7 three-pointers, and 2-of-2 free throws.

Curry does suffer a lot against a guard like Jeremy Lin who is stronger than him and good at defense, but a matchup in a game cannot directly determine which of the two sides is stronger or weaker, such as James, Kobe Bryant and others also have the experience of being blown up when playing against other players, not to mention Curry, whose performance in the playoffs has always been unstable?

When Curry was strictly guarded again, he did not feel good, but when he incarnated as Curry, no one could stop him!

The second match between the two teams is the most intuitive portrayal!
