Gasol made a comeback after the start of February.

However, the 76ers' record began to show a downward trend, losing to the Bulls, Spurs, and even the league-hosted Hornets.

In the record rankings, the Bulls in the East came from behind, surpassing the Heat and the 76ers one after another, and ranked at the top of the league.

It's just that at this time, Rose, the core of the Bulls team, injured his knee in a recent game, and a reporter from the Chicago Sentinel broke the news that Rose is likely to miss one to two months, which has a huge impact on the Bulls' impact record when the schedule is very dense throughout the season.

Rose became the first superstar to be injured in a packed schedule, with the Bulls overused, schedule fatigue and so on.

This immediately sounded the alarm for Collins, the current 76ers have the most playing time is Tang Wenlong, with an average of 36.7 minutes per game, which is also a new high in Tang Wenlong's career.

On February 4, the Knicks played against the New Jersey Nets, and Chinese point guard Jeremy Lin came off the bench and scored 25 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists, leading the Knicks, who saw them fall to the tenth position, to defeat the Nets 99-92! The next day, Anthony was sidelined due to injury, and Xiao Si attended the funeral of his brother's death, and D'Antoni, who was in a desperate situation, boldly put Jeremy Lin in the starting position, scored 28 points and 8 assists against the Jazz, and won the final victory!

The league hasn't noticed this rookie who suddenly appeared, but the Knicks fans themselves are not calm, and Jeremy Lin's two games are like a spring breeze. Blowing the gloom in the hearts of New York fans.

The third game. Jeremy Lin confronts Wall. cut 23 points and 10 assists, led the Knicks to three consecutive wins, and instantly detonated the entire Madison!

"This is the arrival of Lin Madness, it's crazy!" Netizens and fans rumored, so Lin's crazy name instantly rose on the East Coast.

A reporter found Tang Wenlong and asked him for his opinion. Because Tang Wenlong knew Jeremy Lin, the two also had simple contact.

'He's good, he's fast. He's worked hard, and he's always been very sharp in pick-and-roll, and I think the Knicks have found a very good point guard. ”

This is an inspirational story, Tang Wenlong's outburst seems to tell the story of every talented young man in this league, and the strong exposure of the New York market quickly elevated this matter to an event that the whole league is concerned about, losing the draft, being laid off, ten days short contract, sleeping on the sofa, and finally breaking out. How many stories are there to look for?

In the fourth game, the Lakers challenged the Knicks away. There was a media interview with Kobe Bryant before the game, will there be a special defense for Jeremy Lin?

Kobe Bryant immediately replied, "Who is Jeremy Lin?" I don't know about him. ”

He is telling the truth, last season the Lakers were swept by the Mavericks, Zen master Phil Jackson became the scapegoat of the Lakers, this season the Lakers changed a head coach named Mike Brown, that is, the head coach that fans jokingly called James Nanny.

Mike Brown is a coach who likes to emphasize defense, and he believes the biggest problem the Lakers lost to the Mavericks last season was defense. So this season he asked the Lakers players to slow down the offensive tempo and try to drag the game into the positional offense, so this season the Lakers are averaging 97.3 points per game and opponents are averaging 95.9 points per game.

Compared to last season, the opponent only scored 95.4 points, and the Lakers averaged 101.5 points per game last season. The shortened margin would have led to multiple games deciding the outcome in the final three minutes, so Bryant went from averaging less than 34 minutes per game last season to 38.7 minutes so far this season.

And Kobe Bryant played like this, so far this season, the Lakers are only the fourth seed in the West, and there are the magical Spurs, the young Thunder, and the rising Clippers in front of them.

Seeing that the sworn enemies of Los Angeles have risen, Kobe Bryant is upset, how can he pay attention to a player who has only played three good games in addition to training and games?

As a result, Jeremy Lin shined in this game, scoring 38 points and 7 assists in the whole game, and after losing physical strength in the final quarter, he faced the forced turn of the old fish Fisher, avoiding Bynum and blocking the layup, which became a classic! And Kobe Bryant only scored 34 points in the whole game, not even as good as Jeremy Lin!

So after this game, Jeremy Lin was completely on fire, stepping on Kobe's shoulder and becoming popular.

Sports Illustrated even took the photo of Jeremy Lin roaring in the No. 17 jersey as the cover of the new issue, and everywhere he went, he was discussing this amazing Chinese, like an uncompilable dream, everyone was amazed, Lin was crazy!

As far as the eye could see, the lights gathered, Stern didn't expect that today, when Tang Wenlong has risen, there will be another yellow-skinned athlete rising, and compared with the talented Tang Wenlong, Jeremy Lin's story looks more inspirational and easier to promote the dream called the NBA.

Jeremy Lin beats the Timberwolves to become the Eastern Conference Weekly Champion! The first four games of his career are comparable to that of a certain star. On Valentine's Day on February 14, the Knicks and Raptors led by Jeremy Lin fought until the last second, shooting a three-pointer that was almost overwhelming, once again detonating the New York market.

The New York Knicks' market value has changed dramatically, and his jerseys are sold out of stock. Even the great director Spike Lee has become a fan of Jeremy Lin.

D'Antoni is thankful that the broken jar will still have such an effect, and the Knicks have returned to the ranks of the playoff teams after inexplicably winning seven in a row.

At this time, the 76ers' record tends to be stable, one head higher than the Heat and one win lower than the Bulls.

Time is in a hurry, and the game in February will be played in seven, seven, eight, eight, and eight, Tang Wenlong has not played as long as last month this month, and the number of shots has also decreased, and the average points per game have dropped slightly.

Before the All-Star Game, the 76ers led by Tang Wenlong defeated the Bulls who lacked Rose, Tang Wenlong in this focus battle, 18 of 27 shots, 8 of 11 three-pointers, and 12 free throws to cut 56 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists, the Bulls without Rose are still very good, and when the two teams played until the last minute, Tang Wenlong hit a key three-point shot before the 76ers gradually grasped the initiative on the court.

This is a new career record for Tang Wenlong's single-game scores, and when he faced the Kings last month, Tang Wenlong scored 54 points in the third quarter.

So after this game, Tang Wenlong's average points per game soared a lot, and the 76ers' record surpassed the Bulls and became the first in the East, and the whole league was half a win behind the Spurs.

As the league enters All-Star Weekend, East and West selected stars, shooting stars, trick, three-pointers and dunk contest participants, first- and second-year rookie challengers, and journalists from sports media around the world fly to Orlando for this year's All-Star Weekend.
