D'Antoni said Jeremy Lin has the intelligence to be a point guard, has his own rhythm and knows what to do. D'Antoni's praise wasn't just a casual affair, as Jeremy Lin made his first career start against the Utah Jazz and was in the absence of stars Carmelo Anthony (who missed the game due to injury) and Amare Stoudemire. Jeremy Lin scored 28 points and dished out eight assists to lead the Knicks to a 99-88 victory. Then in the game against the Washington Wizards, Jeremy Lin scored 23 points and 10 assists to get his first career double-double.

Keep in mind that the Knicks were considering dropping Jeremy Lin's contract before it became a guaranteed contract on Feb. 10 so that they could sign a new player. But now, Jeremy Lin has conquered his teammates, coaching staff, management, and even the fans in New York with his brilliant performance, if nothing else, just so that Lin can bring them victory. It is inevitable that Jeremy Lin's contract will turn into a guaranteed contract, and no team will be stupid enough to lay off such a good player.

In the first 3 games, Jeremy Lin played 3 games of 20+, which had to make the media sound another Asian point guard in the league, that is, Chen Shu. They compared the two and found that they had a striking resemblance. are both high-achieving students, one at Harvard University, and one at Yale University, both of whom were also undrafted, and who have also been in the league for a period of time, and who have all played amazing numbers after the same start. This made many media exclaim them as "Asian point guard twins".

However, in comparison, Jeremy Lin's experience is more ups and downs and more inspirational than that of Chen Shu. Because after Jeremy Lin was defeated, he has always been a marginal player and has never received a guaranteed contract, from the very beginning of the Warriors, after being cut, he came to the Rockets, but in just 10 days, he was cut again. Later, the Knicks signed Jeremy Lin as a backup to Tony Douglas and Mike Bibby due to the injury of guard Iman Shampert and the injury of newly signed guard Byron Davis, who was also injured and did not play for several weeks. After that, he was sent to play in the Development League by the Knicks until he was recalled in the first few games.

After Chen Shu learned about Jeremy Lin's information, he was also a little excited in his heart, in addition to himself, there was another Chinese figure in the league, which made Chen Shu feel that he was no longer alone, and he was also looking forward to meeting the Knicks soon, it is conceivable that it will be a gluttonous feast for Chinese fans.

After lunch, Chen Shu promised to give them some more tickets, but the Suns' next time is mainly to wait until February 14 to play the Warriors at home. Next, the Suns will usher in 2 consecutive road trips, respectively against the Rockets and the Kings. After that, Chen Shu did not go to school with them, but went back to the apartment alone and packed his luggage, because they were going to gather and leave for Houston in the afternoon.

On the evening of February 10th, the attendance rate of the Toyota Center Arena at this time was not high, but there were many Chinese fans, due to Yao Ming's retirement, the Toyota Center Arena will usher in another Chinese player, that is, Chen Shu, although it is the opponent of the home team, but this has not reduced the love of Chinese fans for Chen Shu.

The attendance rate of the Toyota Center Arena has not been high, and it is not comparable to Staples, PepsiCo Center, Quick Loan Center, American Airlines Center, and TD North Shore Garden. After all, it's a space city, unlike other cities that have so many stars, and the rocket's style of play is not very beautiful. Coupled with Yao Ming's retirement, Chinese fans began to drain, and Houston's ball market declined further.

However, owner Alexander is still very concerned about the team and the arena, and just this offseason, the Toyota Arena completed the internal equipment upgrade. The Toyota Center has spent a lot of money to upgrade the new control room to better broadcast the game, and the new control room will use the IFI system at a cost of more than $15 million.

The original large screen has been replaced, the new control system has been installed, and the new large screen is already shining over the stadium. The Toyota Center has also updated all of its game camera equipment. While cameras can't help the Rockets achieve better results on the field, they can take the visual effects of a game's broadcast to the next level. Today's large screens can be shot from multiple angles, or one window can be live, and the other two replay the previous shots. This will make fans even more impressed by the new big screen, and they will love that there are some stats next to the big screen.

Today, owner Alexander was also present at the game, accompanied by the team's general manager Morey, and the big screen was also given footage of the team's owner and general manager. Obviously, through the expressions of the two, it can be seen that they are not satisfied with the fact that the renovated arena still has not been able to improve the attendance rate of the stadium. Since Maddie was traded and Yao Ming retired, the Rockets have not had a hot superstar, second, they have no outstanding style of play, and third, they have no outstanding record, so it is normal that their attraction to fans has been greatly reduced.

The game is about to start, and Team Rocket's mascot Rocket Bear is performing hard, mobilizing the atmosphere of the scene. The two starters are officially entered, and the Rockets: Dragic, Martin, Parsons, Scola, Samuel Delhambert. Suns: Shushu Chen, Brown, Dudley, Morris, Gortat.

When Chen Shu officially walked into the court, the Chinese audience at the scene gave enthusiastic cheers, and the sound even made the sound of the Rockets players on the stage.

Alexander and Morey, who were on the sidelines, apparently also noticed this phenomenon, Alexander glanced at Morey and said: "Darrell, the attraction of our team is declining, do you have any good solutions?" ”

"That's true, I think we should pursue big players or stars with topics this summer, and judging from the current state of the team, maybe the hot stars can drive the enthusiasm of the fans!"

"Oh? How do you feel about China Chen? Have you followed him? Alexander looked at Chen Shu, who was receiving applause from the audience.

"Of course! After Yao Ming retired, the sales of the team's peripheral products in China have declined seriously, and the attention of the team and players in China is also declining, so I have been paying attention to Chen, although it has only been less than half a season, but Chen has proven himself to be excellent, and the current rookie ranking has surpassed the champion Irving, who has always been favored, ranking first among rookies, and as a point guard, the ability to control the ball and pass the ball is good, although there are few mistakes, but as a rookie, this is not a shortcoming. What's even more commendable is that in less than half a season, he has fully adapted to the intensity of the NBA's game, with a sharp offense and a defensive disadvantage. ”

"Oh, he's so powerful, you think highly of him, huh? In this way, it is indeed a good choice, as a Chinese, there will be no less topics in the NBA, but what about his data? Alexander's deep eyes flashed with a hint of joy, he was thinking of finding a Chinese player to stabilize the Chinese market, but he didn't expect this Chinese rookie to be quite powerful, which was really unexpected.
