Chapter 490: Basketball Whirlwind
Jeremy Lin scored 29 points against the Cavaliers, making it the second biggest NBA news of the day.
The first big news was a rumor that Smart the Clippers general manager had been shot and killed......
Of course, the Clippers were quick to refute the rumors, with Rob Riccelle claiming that it was completely unfounded.
This rumor led to an overwhelming number of text messages and phone calls after Min Congda turned on his phone the next morning.
It is said that some teams almost opened champagne to celebrate.
David Stern, the former president of the alliance, personally called to express condolences and asked about Min Congda's physical condition.
After getting the news that Min Congda was fine, Stern and the League Office were relieved.
It's not that he has a deep relationship with Min Congda, but the NBA league can't help but toss these bad things.
Stern's impression of the NBA being so messy was in the 70s of the last century.
But at that time, not only the NBA was in chaos, but the whole United States was in chaos, and social movements were surging.
Now in the 21st century, the players have become rich and everyone is living a good life, but don't be content with any more disasters.
Of course, Stern also felt strange in his heart, since Min Congda became the general manager of the Clippers, all kinds of messy things have not stopped, and he himself almost died.
Needless to say, this thing must be a disaster.
Let him be well conditioned and treated by a psychiatrist.
The rumors of Min Congda's shooting quickly dissipated and became a small topic of conversation after dinner.
But the names "Jeremy Lin", "Jamie Lin", began to gradually break into people's field of vision.
Scoring 29 points against the Cavaliers was seen by many as nothing more than a role player outburst.
This is not uncommon in the history of the NBA, with role players popping up in a game every year.
But they would soon disappear and become a mediocre member of the bench.
After all, no one who can enter the NBA is a weakling, and many people just lack a chance.
It's very normal to take certain opportunities and break out in good shape.
Just when people thought that Jeremy Lin had one scene, he would return to his original form in the next game.
On February 10, the Clippers challenged the Philadelphia 76ers away.
Jeremy Lin came off the bench in the first quarter and led a 10-0 offensive surge to establish the advantage.
Jeremy Lin scored five points and dished out two assists in this wave of offensive surge, and every point was related to him.
Tyronn Lue insisted on letting Jeremy Lin play more, reducing Fisher's playing time, and the backcourt rotated Harden, Curry, and Jeremy Lin.
As a result, the Clippers' offense is as continuous as a tide, as if there is no end, and there is a rhythm from beginning to end, which is to take the ball and attack!
Suffice it to say, Jeremy Lin single-handedly took the Clippers' offensive tempo up a notch.
He's not Curry's deft off-ball runner, nor is he a playmaker who can slow down Harden to play the pitch.
Jeremy Lin had to run, run tirelessly with the ball.
His desire to attack on the pitch is very strong.
He is a big point guard, although he is Asian, in fact, the black and white small guards in the same position can't resist the impact of Jeremy Lin.
The point guard of the 76ers in this game is Jrue Holiday , who is a 09 rookie like Curry and Harden.
Whenever there was a game with the Clippers before, Holiday would have the upper hand when he played Curry, because he was very strong and could use his height and strength to entangle Curry, attack Curry, and make Curry very uncomfortable.
But in this scene, Jeremy Lin appeared on the court and played against Holiday to kill the inside line after blocking and demolishing, but Holiday couldn't stop it.
In the second quarter, Holiday was struck several times by Jeremy Lin, either by a layup or by a foul to send Jeremy Lin to the free throw line.
Jeremy Lin's reckless start style of play, the opponent was really confused for a while.
In the first half, Jeremy Lin scored 11 points and dished out four assists, and the Clippers led by six points at 66-60 heading into the third quarter.
At the start of the third quarter, the Clippers and the 76ers were locked in a tangling battle, fighting defense on both sides and playing anxiously.
By the middle of the third quarter, Jeremy Lin came on the pitch, and the pace of the game changed again, and the speed became faster again.
It's like when Curry was off the bench in '09-10.
Curry wasn't on the floor, and the Clippers played slowly, fighting with their opponents.
As soon as Curry came on the court, the Clippers' offense was refreshing, and the speed was raised a notch.
Now Curry is stronger, but he is also being targeted more, and the 76ers are chasing him.
Jeremy Lin held the ball, seized the loophole that the opponent's defensive attention was on Curry and Harden, released his attacking desire and talent, and tilted his breakthrough and shooting on the opponent's body!
In the third quarter, Jeremy Lin shot inside and outside, and scored 10 points again!
By the end of the third quarter, Jeremy Lin had already scored 21 points, and the Clippers had another 13-2 wave of attack that overturned the 76ers.
In these two games, Jeremy Lin's efficiency was very amazing, and the high hit rate was terrifying.
Playing the Cavaliers, he hit 70%, and the shooting rate in this game also reached 65%, giving people the feeling of shooting.
The 76ers were blinded by Jeremy Lin's miracle soldier.
The strength is inferior, once the situation falls into a disadvantage and the score difference is too large, this game will be difficult to play.
Sure enough, in the fourth quarter, the 76ers, who lacked a comeback point, just finished the game according to the process.
In the end, the Clippers easily defeated the 76ers with a 114-100, 14-point advantage, and won another game on the road trip.
Jeremy Lin scored 23 points and dished out eight assists in the game, once again being the best player of the game.
Harden and Curry performed equally well, but the light was overshadowed by Jeremy Lin.
A day later, on Feb. 11, the Clippers played back-to-back games against the Charlotte Bobcats.
Because this is a back-to-back away game, the Clippers decided to have a small rotation.
Curry, Harden, Randolph and other main players have entered the bench list and will not play in this game.
The Clippers' starters became Jeremy Lin, Butler, Paul George, Okafor and Milicic.
Originally, fans in the Charlotte area were very unhappy with the Clippers' decision.
Because Charlotte is Curry's hometown, many relatives and friends came to watch the game.
Curry's daddy, Dale Curry, is in Charlotte to do a live NBA game commentary on a local TV station.
Before the game, many friends called him, hoping to get tickets for this game and see Curry.
How do you know that Curry won't play this time? Clippers off the bench?
Return a ticket!
Dale Curry is also very difficult to do, but he knows that the Clippers are doing this to protect Curry.
Curry's ankle is still fragile, and they don't want Curry to be any worse this year.
As a result, when the game is halfway through, the fans who come to watch the game no longer feel that it is not worth it.
Jeremy Lin, who started the game, completely dominated the game, he shot 8-of-14 in the first half, 3-of-4 three-pointers, and scored 18 points with great efficiency with only 2 free throws, leading the Clippers to a huge 75-60, 15-point lead over the Bobcats into the second half.
Jeremy Lin's performance made Bobcats owner Michael Jordan sit on the sidelines and cover his face.
In the second half, Jeremy Lin made persistent efforts and single-handedly led the whole Clippers team to play a whirlwind offense.
Young players such as George, Leonard, and Butler seized the opportunity to give their best on the field.
With a 15-point lead, or a bobcat to death, who let Jordan still sit on the sidelines?
That's everyone's basketball idol.
Is there anything more enjoyable than beating up an idol team?
Jeremy Lin dominated the Clippers' youth storm, scoring 31 points and dished out 11 assists, shocking the audience and the entire NBA league with a very good performance on the court.
A basketball whirlwind of grassroots role players has been formed.
Some people died, but not completely......
