Min Congda thought for a long time, but he couldn't remember why he chose Jeremy Lin in the first place.
In fact, Jeremy Lin was not selected by Min Congda at all. After winning George in that draft, Min Congda ignored him.
Later, Bledsoe and Jeremy Lin were picked up by the scout team on his behalf.
The reason why the scout team selected Jeremy Lin is very simple, just to please Min Congda.
It is believed that both of them are Asian and can fit in with the Clippers' Chinese market development strategy.
In fact, Min Congda has no Chinese market development strategy at all.
He opened the Asian Youth Basketball Talent Development Foundation to lose money.
Who would have thought that the people below would interpret it as opening up the Asian market, so just choose an Asian face.
When Min Congda saw Jeremy Lin's resume, he was a Harvard graduate?
It seems unbelievable to many people that a Harvard graduate would choose to play basketball, just like a PhD student choosing to sell pork.
In fact, it is very normal. Playing basketball and selling pork are both jobs and have nothing to do with academic qualifications or school.
Min Congda thought that such a top student from Harvard must stay, because no other team would want him.
So, a piece of guarantee contract laid a small minefield for myself.
Today, this mine exploded, but it doesn't seem to be too powerful at the moment.
After the free throw was made, the point difference was reduced to 6 points at 34:40.
The Cavaliers must think of a way to contain Jeremy Lin's sudden attack point.
To be honest, it was impossible for the Cavaliers to include Jeremy Lin in their preparation plan before the game.
Mike Brown and his coaching staff have made very thorough preparations.
But there was still one move missing. I didn't expect such a surprise player to be hidden on the Clippers' bench.
However, the reason why Qi Bing is Qi Bing lies in his concealment.
Once exposed, his effectiveness will not last long.
If it was a normal coach, Jeremy Lin should be replaced at this time.
His role has been achieved, the momentum of the game has been reversed, and it is time to replace the real main force to turn things around.
Tyronn Lue is obviously not a normal coach. He watches the game going smoothly and cannot bear to interrupt it.
The Cavaliers did not call a timeout. James continued to stand up and hold the ball in the high post to beat Leonard alone.
This time he chose to start on the left side!
James' left hand is also very strong.
Because James himself is left-handed.
He just forcibly changed his shooting hand to his right hand.
Leonard couldn't resist James' crushing breakthrough.
Gasol came inside to help defend, and James immediately passed the ball to Mike Miller in the bottom corner.
Miller feinted a shot, but instead of taking a shot, he broke into the middle distance and took another shot, hitting two points.
James did not form an assist, but his breakthrough greatly disturbed the Clippers' defense.
At 34:42, the Cavaliers returned to a relatively safe point difference.
After that, Jeremy Lin seemed to temporarily extinguish his offensive flame. The Cavaliers also strengthened their defense against Jeremy Lin, leaving him no chance to take an easy shot.
But Jeremy Lin still relied on his breakthrough to create two easy-ball opportunities for the Clippers.
The scores of both sides increased alternately, and the Cavaliers had a vague feeling that they could not suppress the Clippers' offense.
The score slowly reached 40:46, with 4 minutes left before the end of the second quarter.
Tyronn Lue realized at this time that Curry had not played for most of the quarter!
If he doesn't fight, his hand will turn into ice and the whole audience will be unable to get up.
Tyronn Lue called a timeout, replaced Jeremy Lin and replaced him with Curry.
Curry watched the game off the court for a long time, and it stands to reason that his condition should be frozen.
But the Clippers players have gradually adapted to this "refrigerator" rotation. Each main player may be unable to play for a long time in a certain quarter, ranging from five to eight minutes.
So everyone is used to it and is mentally prepared. It's not like Curry is sitting down and doing nothing. Instead, he asked the equipment team to get an exercise bike and keep pedaling behind the bench to maintain his muscles. heat.
After re-appearing in this way, Curry did not feel uncomfortable. On the contrary, as soon as he appeared on the stage, the Clippers' sideline ball tactics were adopted.
After a double screen, he received a pass from Leonard in the middle and hit a three-pointer!
Curry's sudden three-pointers often make opponents very uncomfortable.
Min Congda felt even more uncomfortable, "This person doesn't play by the rules!"
After taking a sip of beer, I looked at the score between the two sides. It was already 43:46, and the Clippers were 3 points behind.
Jeremy Lin's pass disrupted the Cavaliers' defensive arrangement and game rhythm.
The Clippers reversed their disadvantage bit by bit.
When the Clippers can score the ball and improve their offensive efficiency, the Cavaliers' counterattacks are not so series.
But once they stabilize and play their positions steadily, the Cavaliers do not have an absolute advantage.
James and Irving's sharp defensive counterattacks were the key to the Cavaliers' advantage.
When the Clippers' offense gradually stabilized, the Cavaliers' counterattack became no longer effective.
Although Leonard was in one-on-one defense, he was unable to contain James.
But he retreats very quickly and has good pressure on fast-break ball carriers.
He has excellent defensive awareness, but his experience is not enough, and his body is a little thin.
Curry hit his second three-pointer of the game, and then Irving blasted Curry in the offense!
But after rushing to the basket, he was blocked by Leonard.
Leonard had the ball firmly in his hands and handed it to Curry to drive the counterattack.
Curry passed a long pass to the frontcourt, Randolph received the ball, made a beautiful fake move to shake off the opponent, and easily picked up the basket.
At 45:46, the point difference was reduced to 1 point.
James immediately hit back and hit a three-pointer to reopen the point difference.
This season, James' three-point shooting has improved even more.
The number of shots taken has increased, and the shooting percentage has also increased. This kind of emergency three-pointers has become his weapon to grab points.
The game between the two sides entered an offensive climax at the end of the second quarter, with both sides scoring consecutively.
At this time, Harden broke through and knocked down Jamison during the offense, and was called for an offensive foul.
Harden's performance in this game was even more disastrous than Curry's, and he completely lost himself.
Seeing this, Tyronn Lue made a decisive substitution, "Jamie Lin, come on and replace Harden!"
Jeremy Lin had just sat off the court for two minutes, and he was about to appear again.
At this time, there was more than a minute left before the end of the first half.
Jeremy Lin returned to the game and replaced Harden, who was in poor condition.
Just now Jeremy Lin teamed up with Harden, and now he teamed up with Curry to form the backcourt.
Jeremy Lin was guarding Irving. In a one-on-one high position, Irving passed Jeremy Lin!
But Jeremy Lin gave up his position without completely losing his defensive position and stayed close.
Irving gets to the basket, stops suddenly, turns around, fakes, and repeatedly circles with the ball.
But Jeremy Lin didn't stun him, but covered Irving tightly!
Irving had no choice but to pass the ball to James, but he made a mistake!
It was intercepted by Leonard, who immediately passed the ball to Curry.
The Clippers launched a quick counterattack, a double-line fast break in the backcourt!
Curry and Jeremy Lin are running neck and neck. James stands between them and blocks whoever gets the ball for a layup!
Curry cut in from the left and passed the ball to Jeremy Lin on the right. Jeremy Lin caught the ball and rushed to the basket!
But James' shot-chasing deterrence was too strong. Jeremy Lin did not dare to lay up. Instead, he went around the basket and ran to the other side with the ball.
The Cavaliers' defense is returning, and fast break opportunities are about to be lost.
Jeremy Lin suddenly made a counterattack, turned around and cut back to the basket from the baseline.
Facing James' defense, he threw a right-hand shot!
A super high arc passed James' fingertips.
The ball bounced on the basket, but still fell into the basket!
At 47:49, the Clippers were only two points behind at the end of the first half.
Jeremy Lin shot 100% in the first half and already scored 9 points!
This wonderful throwback shot can be regarded as the best goal so far tonight.
Min Congda watched Jeremy Lin and Curry high-five in celebration, and the temper and side dishes in front of him were really delicious!
At this moment, there was a rapid "dong-dong" knock on the door.
Min Congda felt a shiver in his heart, thinking who was it so late? Still so anxious to knock on the door.
Ignoring the game, he got up and went to the drawer to get a gun. He came to the door and asked, "Who is it?"
"It's me, Ada!"
Some people died, but not completely...
