"Do we not even have the most basic defense?! Even though you've disappointed me time and time again, I think you should still remember the rules of being a professional footballer! "Byron. Scott exclaimed, "Use the defense we showed in training, you can't just understand what defense is when you're on the training ground!" ”

Although there are quite a few people on the Lakers team who are disgruntled with Scott right now, no one has taken the opportunity to explode. All the players quietly endured the coach's reprimand, and of course it is unknown how much they listened.

Byron. Scott glanced at Jeremy Lin, but then looked away. Boozer and Nick. Young came on and replaced Ed. Davis vs. Kobe. Bryant.

If Kobe Bryant wants to stay healthy, playing seven or eight minutes in a single quarter is already the limit. Even so, as soon as Kobe Bryant returned to the bench, his shoulders and ankles were immediately covered with ice to relieve fatigue and pain.

Spoelstra put Daniel. Granger and Sean. Williams came on the court to enhance the team's outside shooting capabilities. The Lakers' ability to defend pick-and-rolls is terrible, and as long as they make more use of pick-and-rolls, the number of open shots they get from the outside will definitely increase.

That's just the way it is, Carlos. Although Boozer's presence on the court gave the Lakers a firepower point to be able to attack with the ball inside, his slow pace and lax attitude on the defensive end made the Heat's pick-and-roll offense go more smoothly. Sean. Williams hit a three-pointer from the left and right corners to widen the margin to 15 points.

Byron. Scott's face turned blue when he looked off the court, while Kobe Bryant covered his head with a towel, and the eyes that were exposed were very complicated, and it was difficult to judge the emotions in his heart at this time.

Spoelstra reassuringly and boldly began to switch to the bench, and the Heat led the home team by 13 points at the end of the first quarter, which caused some extreme fans in the stadium to start cursing.

"This TM is not the Lakers I know!"

"You guys are disgraced to the Purple Gold Dynasty! What about your dignity?! ”

"I don't want to be a supporter of this team anymore!"

……

"The rapid decline of the team in the past two years has made many Lakers fans unbearable, and perhaps in their hearts, the Lakers are still at the peak of winning two championships in a row." Some radical words drifted to the live broadcast room, Kenny. Smith said with some feeling.

"It's understandable, booms and downs are something that every team that has created a dynasty goes through, and as fans they need to understand and adapt to this period." Barkley explained, "After Michael and Pippen left the Bulls, the Bulls went down for a couple of years before they slowly recovered. Lakers fans need to be patient, a team like this that has accumulated countless glory and history will not decline forever, it will always rise again. ”

"Sir Charles, what have you read in the past two years? How do I feel that your philosophical and literary literacy are improving rapidly?! I can say such profound words! "Kenny. Smith looked at his partner in surprise.

"You mean I used to be vulgar......?"

"It's not vulgar...... Well, very... Crude?? ”

“……”

"Let Lin play, Byron." As the second quarter was about to begin, Kobe, who had been sitting on the bench and remained silent, suddenly said, "The team needs his breakthrough, and it needs everything he can do." ”

The chatter and chatter on the bench was quiet for a while, and the players looked at Kobe Bryant and then at Scott. Byron. Scott's brow furrowed, and the stiffness of his relationship with Jeremy Lin was almost on the surface, which was clear to everyone in the locker room.

However, Kobe Bryant spoke, and the influence of the leader of the Purple and Gold is much greater than that of him as a head coach, and Scott has to consider the other party's words. What's more, Kobe Bryant is right, and now the Lakers really need Jeremy Lin's ability.

"Lin, play in the second quarter, play the No. 1 position."

Jeremy Lin's already somewhat empty eyes finally lit up, and he nodded to the head coach and took off his long-sleeved jersey. After not playing for the whole quarter, Jeremy Lin moved his limbs as much as he could to warm up his body.

"Use a lot of pick-and-rolls, that's what you're good at." Scott didn't have much to say, but said, "Narrow the difference as much as possible, that's the only thing I ask of you." ”

It's not easy for you to ask for this...... If I had played in the first quarter, the margin would not have been so big......

Jeremy Lin complained silently in his heart, but he still nodded to the head coach, he now wants to get on the court quickly and adapt himself to the rhythm of the game faster.

"Scott has finally put Lin on the field! We can see how the Lakers' offense changes now! "Kenny. Smith watched as players from both sides took to the court again.

"The Lakers can use the opening period of the second quarter to try to close the gap, and now that the Heat are on the second team, the defensive intensity will definitely drop." Barkley gave his advice.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the offensive rhythm of both sides was not fast, as if they were testing each other, and Jeremy Lin also played more of the role of a passer, and did not exert much force.

But after two rounds, when Jeremy Lin began to settle into the game, he suddenly made a big move. Davis' screen into the box caused Josh. McRoberts fouls. Jeremy Lin, who walked to the free throw line, hit two free throws, which made the Staples Arena, which had been silent for a long time, burst into some applause.

Turning around the Heat's offense was unsuccessful, Sean. Williams' jumper smashed out of the basket and was smashed out of the basket by Tariq Murphy. Blake defends the defensive rebound.

Jeremy Lin didn't rush to counterattack, dribbled past half court and found cover again, and passed the ball to Wesley on the wing after encountering a supplementary defense. Johnson, withdraw from the three-point line and receive Johnson's return pass and shoot directly!

“Three points by ！！！ Got it！！！ ”

The decibels of cheering in the court rose again, and Jeremy Lin's three-pointer cut the deficit to eight points, sending Spoelstra to his feet.

"Defend! I can't see your defenses! Don't you know how to defend and block and dismantle?! The Filipino head coach briefly threw away his gentlemanly demeanor and yelled at the players on the field, "Whoever continues to dream on the field will come down and burn the bench for me!" ”

Spoelstra's roar immediately lifted the second team's players in high spirits, and the defensive intensity increased immediately, and this time it was much more difficult for Jeremy Lin to use the pick-and-roll to score easily.

But the Lakers still had the upper hand on the court, with Jeremy Lin controlling the ball at the No. 1 position, making the team's offense much more organized than in the first quarter. With four minutes into the second quarter, Spoelstra called a timeout.

By this time, the Lakers had narrowed the gap to 5 points, and the wave of shouting in the Staples arena was much more intense, and even the players' enthusiasm on the court increased a lot.

Addison has been watching Jeremy Lin with interest from the sidelines, and he had seen the Chinese American play in the game footage before that. The evaluation of Jeremy Lin in the North American basketball world is generally divided into two groups: one believes that he has enough strength, and being able to make a splash is a reflection of his strength; The other feels that Jeremy Lin is simply blown out by the media, and he is a second-rate substitute in itself, and some people even think that his ability is not enough to play in the NBA.

But Addison saw a lot through these few minutes of observation, and Lin's style of play surprised him and couldn't help but admire, because the Chinese on the court was the best player he had ever seen to use his strengths to make up for his weaknesses.

Speaking from the heart, Lin's ball-handling ability is in the middle of the NBA, and even with more training, his non-dominant hand dribbling is still much inferior to his dominant hand. And given his short arm span and high dribbling position, he can easily get tackled when forcing a break.

The ball control is not delicate enough, and the technique is not dexterous and flashy...... But even so, Jeremy Lin has been able to get close to 15+5 in the top league for several seasons in a row, and since the season when he officially became famous, he has never averaged more than 3 turnovers per game.

Jeremy Lin has one of the league's best on-court IQs, and his ability to read and observe defensive formations is much more acute and profound than the average player, and he can often find the weakest points in the opposing defense. He is arguably one of the most frequent point guards in the league who uses pick-and-rolls as his best offensive style, and on the other hand, the use of pick-and-rolls can also try to cover up his weakness in ball control.

Although Jeremy Lin's passing ability is not as precise as CP3 and others, he can at least ensure that the ball reaches the right player at the right time, which is enough.

Through intensive training and game experience in the past few years, Lin's personal offensive ability has steadily improved, his three-point shooting has improved significantly, and the level of breakthrough has also reached a higher level.

And Jeremy Lin's physical fitness is not as bad as others think, his sprint speed and explosiveness are good, coupled with a full 90 kilograms of weight, it is not very difficult to fight inside after rushing into the penalty area, which is also an important reason why he is good at breaking through and causing damage.

Overall, Jeremy Lin is similar to a semi-finished star point guard, with star-level awareness and ball intelligence, but his skills and basic skills are not up to the star-level level. But with his current ability, he is enough to serve as a qualified or even excellent starting point guard in an NBA team.

It should be a great experience to get hands on......

Thinking so, Addison was called out by Spoelstra: "Get ready to play, Add!" As before, it's up to you to decide the details on the field! But make sure to close the gap and I don't want to waste too much energy in this game! ”

It seems that Spoelstra has begun to get used to the tasks assigned to the Chinese rookie that others think are heavy, and Addison himself is used to taking on all these tasks.

With the timeout over, Addison and Whiteside were re-substituted. He looked at Jeremy Lin, who was waiting on the other side, and a smile appeared on his face.

- So, the semi-finished product of the superstar, let's try it out.
