Chapter 266 Summer League

(Brothers, push the ticket and dance, I don't mind if I have a monthly pass, every support is incomparable!) ）

Jeremy Lin lost the NBA, and the news was terrible for many Chinese Americans in the United States, but the news that came soon was very encouraging to many Chinese groups who followed him.

Jeremy Lin was the first to update his draft on his social networking site Facebook: "Today, I didn't make the cut, it was a bad day in Madison, New York, and now I need to fly to Las Vegas tonight, where I need to play!" ”

A few words, but it can't hide the joy hidden in Jeremy Lin's heart, and next to this instant release of the news, there is also a Minnesota Timberwolves team logo, a rebellious wolf head logo, which looks fierce and domineering.

Although this news has not been sent out for a long time, it has been followed by many Chinese fans who pay attention to him.

For many older generations of Chinese, Harvard represents the best university, and it is even more gratifying for future generations to be able to enter such an institution.

Jeremy Lin is very concerned in the Chinese community in the United States, many Chinese elderly people may not have heard of Syracuse "Syracuse University", but they must have heard of Harvard Cambridge, Harvard came out to play Jeremy Lin, in the eyes of many Chinese people is obviously more inspirational.

Now, Jeremy Lin has posted this personal news, which undoubtedly indicates that he will represent the Minnesota Timberwolves in the next summer league, and it seems that there is a trend of hope for a signing agreement with the Minnesota Timberwolves.

How can this not make many Chinese fans cheer and cheer!

The situation of the Chinese-American community has been put on the bills of the U.S. government again and again, but it has been ignored by whites and blacks, and the Chinese Americans in the United States understand that only when the Chinese American community is strong and there are one influential figure after another can the situation of the Chinese American community be improved.

The first Chinese policeman in the United States, the first Chinese-American congressman, and even the first Chinese-American governor, one influential figure after another, all made the Chinese in the United States feel inspired.

Now, Jeremy Lin seems to be embarking on the road of the NBA, which is even more anticipated by the Chinese American community!

Soon, the summer league in Las Vegas began, and many of the rookie players participated in the training match.

As for the Timberwolves, the rookie players who participated in the summer league include Eric Bledsoe, Jeremy Lin and Paul George, while the main players like Lee Se Ho and Kevin Love did not play.

Summer league is more about looking at the strength of rookies than grinding in the team's lineup, and at this time the team's main players have not yet returned to the team, let alone participate in the summer league.

However, Li Shihao went to Las Vegas and watched Jeremy Lin's 5 games on the spot, cheering for his little brother!

Eric Bledsoe and Paul George are both good performers, both of them are first-round rookies, although this year is a draft year, but the strength of both is very good, the playing attitude is also serious, both are offensive and defensive players, 5 games down, have scored good data, it seems, there is no value of the Timberwolves' two first-round draft picks in vain.

And Jeremy Lin's performance is not bad, he doesn't play much, averaging 18.6 minutes per game, in this time, he can score 9.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.2 steals.

In the time that Jeremy Lin played, as long as the ball was passed to his hands, he was able to quickly find a suitable attacker for him without staying in his hands for too long, which is undoubtedly a performance in the eyes of the Timberwolves' coaching staff, which is undoubtedly a sign of not coveting the ball, and the rating is much higher.

It is worth noting that one of the Timberwolves' five summer league games is against the Washington Wizards, this year's champion John Wall played against Jeremy Lin in the game, and the two scored 21 and 13 points respectively, although John Wall had an advantage in the round scoring, but Jeremy Lin, who did not possess the ball, prevented the champion from shooting 4 of 19, and turned into a skilled old blacksmith in the whole court, while Jeremy Lin shot 6 of 12 and was very efficient.

This kind of performance is qualified, and the management of the Timberwolves has already considered what kind of contract to give Jeremy Lin after the game.

It can be said that the Timberwolves have not selected the wrong person in this draft so far, and the rookies selected are all good, which can bring some substantial help to the team.

However, in the selection of big men on the inside, McHale, who has always been fierce-eyed, actually made a mistake.

Hunting geese all day long, there is also a day when you are pecked by geese!

Hassan Whiteside, who was traded from the Kings in the draft, had a disappointing performance, and it should be said that the talented rookie center was not ready to play in the NBA, not only did he perform poorly in the summer league, but his training attitude also disappointed the coaching staff in the forest.

Lateness, alcoholism, and other athletes' big and small problems are playing out in Hassan Whiteside, and it looks really bad.

McHale has decided to devolve him to the NBDL, and in his opinion, this year's draft pick can be described as a failure, and Hassan Whiteside has completely forgotten who he is.

Every year in the league, there are rookie players who can't recognize themselves, and most of these people are eventually eliminated by the league.

Fortunately, to McHale's relief, the other drafts were quite worthwhile, especially Paul George, who all looked very good!

Finally, after the end of the summer league, several rookies of the Timberwolves signed with the team, including Jeremy Lin signed a guaranteed two-year contract with the team.

In the eyes of the outside world, the Minnesota Timberwolves can be regarded as having made a bloody investment, and it is estimated that they tasted the sweetness of the market behind the Chinese kid Li Shihao last year, and now they want to add another fire.

As for Hassan Whiteside, McHale still gave him a one-year contract with the possibility of being cut at any time, and as soon as this result came out, it immediately stunned Hassan Whiteside, which undoubtedly poured a big basin of cold water on him and woke him up.

Compared with the treatment of Jeremy Lin, a rookie who was not selected on the team, Hassan Whiteside only felt bleak and miserable in his heart.

However, Hassan Whiteside's bad reputation has spread, the NBA has no impermeable walls, and Hassan Whiteside's performance in summer league has already made a first impression on many teams' scouts, and it will be too difficult to change it.

Even though Hassan's agent tried his best to sell to many teams, none of them were willing to offer him a contract, and in the end, Hassan reluctantly signed a contract with the Timberwolves. (To be continued.) )
