Chapter 986: Turning the Tide
After scoring 5 points in a row, Jeremy Lin was still very calm, he knew his shortcomings on the defensive end, so he hurried back to defend and waited for Bibby's response.
The point difference was suddenly reduced to single digits, Bibby naturally felt faceless, and after he rushed to the front court on the offensive end, he decided to score his own points to teach this rookie who had never seen him before.
Bibby shook off Jeremy Lin with a dazzling change of direction and turn, charging all the way to the basket, the Hawks fans cheered eagerly, but the Warriors were in no hurry.
There is a lack of awareness of Jeremy Lin, even as a parent team, the Warriors don't know much, but one thing they do know is that Jeremy Lin does a good job of limiting opponents' scoring under the basket.
During the intra-team game, Jeremy Lin didn't do well on the defensive end, with too many fouls, a lack of steals, and a lack of pressure on his defense, so as the opponent's point guard, he could assist his teammates to score as much as he wanted.
But there is one thing he does very well, that is, to limit the opponent's basket scoring, which is related to his high ball quotient, the box is narrow, and he can make the best use of his ability and that of his teammates to limit the opponent's scoring here, which even George, who is good at defense, can only sigh.
Bibby thought he had thrown off Jeremy Lin, but as soon as he entered the penalty area, he found that the yellow-skinned little guy had stuck up again, and Bibby moved sideways in a chic manner, but Jeremy Lin quickly grabbed his position first, so Bibby had to retreat sideways, and it happened that Evans had completed the defense, and Bibby made a shot and was slapped by him and hugged the ball down.
As soon as the ball was photographed, Jeremy Lin rushed up frantically, holding the ball in his arms almost like West's passion for the ball, and then threw off his arms and ran down with his legs.
"AG, GOGOGO!" Old Nelson clapped his palms excitedly and shouted from the sidelines.
He doesn't need to remind him, it must be a fast attack!
Jeremy Lin galloped all the way across the halfcourt, and at this time, the Hawks' perimeter was following him, and Curry saw that he was caught in the key bag, and shouted from behind: "Jeremy, behind you!" There I am! There I am! â
But Jeremy Lin ignored it, gritted his teeth and rushed forward, even if Smith had already caught up with him at this time, and the next step was to jam him.
In this way, his offense is a bit greedy, and the ball is stuck by Smith, so this fast break will not be played.
As a result, Jeremy Lin still didn't pass the ball, he ran into the interior with difficulty with the ball, and there were Hawks players defending on the left and right wings, which had locked him up, and it looked like a dead ball.
At this time, Jeremy Lin jumped up suddenly, like a carp jumping over the dragon gate, he twisted his waist and jumped up, turned his face to the basket to his back, found Curry's position, and passed the ball with his hand.
Crawford, the closest to Curry, is also more than ten feet away from him, and it can be said that he has an empty seat.
As a rising Sagittarius superstar, Curry didn't waste this pass, his body jumped up, Crawford only felt a red shadow flashed in front of him, and the basketball had been shot out by Curry.
"Huh!"
There was a crisp sound, and the picture was frozen on the scene where Curry threw his hand to shoot.
The small climax of 8-0 is only a 6-point difference!
The Eagles coach almost burst into tears, who is this brunette and yellow-skinned kid? Damn, in just one and a half minutes, the advantage is gone, how can he accept this?
The whistle blew and the Eagles asked for a timeout.
The Warriors were full of voices here, Curry and Evans sandwiched Jeremy Lin in the middle, several people applauded and cheered together, Chamberlain and others also stood up off the court, when Jeremy Lin got off the court, everyone stretched out their palms to high-five him, Jackson hugged him and said: "You have our recognition, welcome to the Golden State Villains!" â
The Hawks stabilized their position, after all, they are an iron-blooded team with a Spurs temperament, and they will not be defeated by such a small climax as Jeremy Lin.
In everyone's hearts, this wave of small climaxes of the Warriors is just a coincidence, who doesn't eat dumplings during the New Year? On the Hawks' side, in the final game of the regular season last season, Teague also scored 25 points and 15 assists.
The difference between a star and a comet is that one is short-lived, flashing a dazzling glow in the sky and then sinking, while the other is able to illuminate a starry sky permanently.
The score gap was quickly narrowed, and at this time, the best choice for the old Nelson seemed to be to change to the main force and then fight, this is only the third quarter, with this opportunity to counterattack, the Warriors have seen the dawn of turning defeat into victory!
As a result, Nelson Sr. did not make such an arrangement, he made several tactical arrangements around Jeremy Lin, applauded and said: "This is our team, those who make mistakes will have to pay the price for their actions, and those who make meritorious contributions should be rewarded, and the opportunity to counterattack is Jeremy and Stephen They created ZĂ o, then this glory must also be reserved for them." â
The Warriors are still fighting on a second-tier lineup.
However, the elder Nelson changed his words and said: "Trust is not unlimited, and opportunities are not infinite, if you don't grasp this opportunity, then I have to hand over the task of counterattack to others." â
The two sides started playing, and the Hawks were obviously a lot more serious, but they were in too much of a hurry, Johnson's shot was iron, and Evans, as a rebounding maniac, naturally wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity, jumped up and picked up the rebound, and then passed it to Jeremy Lin.
For the first time, Jeremy Lin made his voice on the court, he ran forward with the ball with his left hand, raised his right hand and shouted: "I don't need to leave people on the outside to block and dismantle, I can handle them!" Go get in the spot, go run, go wait for my ball! â
When Bibi heard this, an evil fire arose in his heart, this kid is so awesome, you are here to deal with us? I want to see what you rookie can do to get us.
Evans and Ibaka didn't stay on the perimeter, because they knew that Jeremy Lin didn't play well in the pick-and-roll, and he worked with Evans in training matches, but he only averaged 0 per pick-and-roll. 8 points - The Warriors' strongest pick-and-roll was the combination of Chamberlain and Billups, who could score 1 per pick-and-roll. 4 points, which is almost the level of every gear must hit!
Jeremy Lin slowed down when he got to the front court, and it looked like he was going to attack, but suddenly he passed the ball to Ibaka, who was stuck inside, and he found an open space to run.
Ibaka got the ball and pushed Smith with his back, and the latter defended well, and he tried to feel uncomfortable and passed the ball to Curry, who got the ball and immediately passed it to Jeremy Lin on the run.
In the previous training match, Jeremy Lin showed the strongest point, but his shooting skills, especially the shooting rate of receiving the ball, are very impressive, and even the sharpshooter-level Curry in the Warriors team can't compare to him.
Curry knew this, and after he passed the ball, Jeremy Lin received the ball, and immediately jumped to his feet, his thin body floating sideways in the air, and with a soft flick of his wrist, he projected the ball.
Hit!
The coaching staff of the Eagles scratched their heads in pain together, where did this yellow-skinned stinky boy come from?
At the end of the third quarter, the Hawks were bleak up and down, thanks to the score advantage they opened up in the previous time, the Warriors finally didn't catch up, but it was almost the same if they didn't catch up, the score was 83-81 at this time, and the Hawks were only 2 points ahead.
This game became Jeremy Lin's famous battle, whether it was the invincible Chamberlain or Joe Johnson, who just won a big contract, they all became his supporting roles.
As soon as the fourth quarter began, the Hawks' lead was gone, and Jeremy Lin broke through at the beginning, and after entering the restricted area, he caused Horford's foul, and made two free throws, 83-83!
Bibby was helpless against a dynamic Jeremy Lin, so the Hawks let the same young Teague play.
Teague is also at a loss in the face of the unfamiliar Jeremy Lin, the NBA is a protracted battle, even if the stars do not play each other often, then you can see his video, it can be said that every star is transparent, and technology has no privacy at all.
Jeremy Lin is now completely mysterious to the Eagles, they don't know the characteristics of this defender, they don't know his weaknesses, how can they effectively limit him?
So in the fourth quarter, Jeremy Lin controlled the outside line of the Warriors, and he ran tirelessly on the court like an elf, attacking the hoop, breaking through shots, passing, and stealing, unceremoniously becoming the protagonist on the court, and extremely stylish.
83-83ďź84-83ďź84-85âŚâŚ
86-88ďź86-90ďź86-94âŚâŚ
At the end of the game, the score was fixed at 96-105.
The Warriors were happy, Chamberlain and others high-fived each other, and treated Jeremy Lin in the middle as a hero.
The Hawks were so the other that their fans couldn't believe it, and they were prepared for the team to lose before the game, expecting his team to lose to Chamberlain's interior invincibility, Carter and West's outside outbursts, and even Curry's three-point outbursts.
However, they just didn't think that they would lose to a substitute they couldn't even name.
In this game, Chamberlain scored 31 points and 14 rebounds, which is on the low side for him, while Jeremy Lin appeared for 15 and a half minutes, slashed 18 points and 6 assists, becoming the absolute hero of the Warriors' comeback game.
At the end of the game, Teague said to Jeremy Lin without admitting defeat: "Rookie, I don't know you, you did a good job today, but I will study you, and in the next game, I will make you suffer a little." â
Jeremy Lin smiled slightly and said, "Then I'll see you in the finals." â
The reporters surrounded him, and Chamberlain stuffed Jeremy Lin to the reporters, saying: "Today's protagonist is Jeremy, just ask him any questions you have, I dare say, you must be very interested in getting to know him, and you will get a huge unexpected gain from him." â
Irresponsibly throwing Jeremy Lin to the reporters, Chamberlain quickly ran into the players' tunnel, whew, very tired back to back, even more tired to deal with reporters.
After surrounding him, the long guns and short guns were aimed at him, and the microphone and voice recorder were also handed over: "Hello, Jeremy, I'm a reporter from Sports Time and Space, what do you think of this game?" â
"Hello, this is the Atlanta Basketball Journal, are you a wonder player for the Warriors? Tell me a little bit about how you see yourself in the NBA? â
"What is your position with the Warriors right now? Coach Nielsen says you're going to bring some fantastic changes to the Warriors, can you tell us a little bit about that? â
Jeremy Lin has hoped countless times that he can be the focus of the spotlight and become the star chased by reporters, but he used to think that it was just his fantasy, and he has a position for himself in the NBA, and the positioning is that he can get a stable opportunity to play as a backup guard, even if it is a third substitute.
I didn't expect his debut in the NBA to be so successful, it was an instant hit!
Is there anything more brilliant than him? The main team was defeated by the opponent, but he came on as a substitute and led a group of similar substitute teammates to kill the opponent and lead the team to a victory.
There was nothing on the court before, but when he came off the court, Jeremy Lin realized how excited he was. The only thing he thinks of now is the story of the defense of Beijing in the late Ming Dynasty that his grandfather told him in his childhood, a war, the same main force was defeated by the enemy's soldiers in the city, and then a hero of the Chinese nation stepped forward, reversed the overall situation, and defended the last dignity of the nation, that hero, named Yu Qian!
