The rise of basketball legends

Chapter 740

"Are you Jeremy Lin?" Old Nelson asked looking at the young Asian face in front of him.

Shuhao didn't speak, and the assistant coach next to him answered for him: "Yes, he is Jeremy Lin."

After the assistant coach finished speaking, Jeremy Lin shyly said, "Coach, hello!"

Old Nelson nodded: "I've seen the video of you in the Development League. You have a lot of characteristics. Our team happens to be short of a point guard. Let's start training with the players from the first team tomorrow."

Old Nelson's understatement hit Jeremy Lin's heart!

After entering the league for more than a year, he finally waited for this opportunity.

Fortunately, very suddenly!

But Jeremy Lin is not unprepared.

When he saw the news that the Knicks' point guards were injured in turn, Jeremy Lin secretly felt that his chance had come.

Although he has only been in the league for more than a year, Jeremy Lin has changed three teams, the first Warriors, and then a short-term contract with the Rockets and was waived at the speed of light, and now the Knicks.

Shu Hao is not even considered a homeless player in the league. At least a homeless man can still play in official games. Shu Hao can only play in the Development League.

But Jeremy will not let go of every opportunity. In the Development League, he also tried his best to play. His average data last week was 20.8 points and 6 assists.

The good data combined with the performance made the old Nelson see him. Otherwise, there are so many people in the Development League, why would he be called?

Overall, Jeremy is lucky. In his previous life, head coach D'Antoni favored point guards. He gave Jeremy a lot of opportunities and the ball after the Knicks were injured at the No. 1 position.

The head coach of this world, Old Nelson, is eclectic in employing people. As long as Shuhao plays a role in his prescribed playing time, there is basically no problem staying.

The next day, the Knicks training facility.

As soon as Chen Yan entered the door, he saw a man practicing three-pointers.

Chen Yan is usually the first one from the team to come to the training hall, but today someone suddenly came earlier than him?

Chen Yan was very curious.

Taking a closer look, it turned out to be Jeremy Lin.

Shuhao looked back after hearing the footsteps, his face couldn't hide his excitement, and his voice couldn't help trembling: "Hi! Chen, I'm very happy to meet you here. I'm your fan. I've watched you since childhood. Playing and growing up."

Chen Yan said backhandedly, "How old are you this year?"

Shu Hao was in the same place, he had studied in university for four years, and this year was the same year as Chen Yan.

Chen Yan is even a few months younger than Shu Hao.

But Shuhao is definitely not flattering Chen Yan. He has indeed grown up watching Chen Yan play. After all, this is Chen Yan's fifth year in the NBA.

As a person of yellow race, Chen Yan has always inspired Shuhao.

Seeing Shuhao's embarrassed expression, Chen Yan patted him on the shoulder: "Just kidding, welcome to the Knicks."

In fact, on the day Anthony Carter was injured, Chen Yan thought of Jeremy Lin.

After all, Madness Lin's previous life also happened during this time period, and Shu Hao should still be playing in the Development League team affiliated with the Knicks.

He originally wanted to mention this matter with old Nelson today, but he didn't expect old Nelson to act so quickly.

After a training session, Shuhao didn't do much.

It can be seen that he played a little tight, maybe because he wanted to stay in the first team too much.

After the training match, Chen Yan walked over to enlighten him:

"You will definitely have a chance to play tonight, and also in the next few games, but if you can't let go, then it's useless to give you 10 more opportunities to play." Chen Yan smiled: "You There is nothing to lose, can the situation be worse than it is now? Don’t be burdened by thoughts, just give it a go.”

Chen Yan's words are very direct, but also very effective.

There was light in Shuhao's eyes, yes, what's there to be afraid of?I was originally a player without a guaranteed contract, and I was originally a player who could be cut at any time. This time I let go of the game. If I play well, I may be able to stay in the NBA. If I play badly, I will leave. There is nothing unacceptable.

That night, the Knicks' opponent was the Cavaliers.

Before the game started, Shuhao huddled in a corner and prayed.

He is a devout Christian and believes in it.

Ah Lian pointed at Shu Hao: "Chinese?"

Ah Lian missed the training match in the morning because of some discomfort in his elbow.

"Chinese." Chen Yan said.

"Can you speak Chinese?" Ah Lian asked.

"Ask him yourself."

Ah Lian smiled and walked away. He is not a character who will take the initiative to talk to others.

Chen Yan didn't pay much attention to Jeremy Lin, what he cared about was this game.

Because this season is a shortened season, with only 66 regular season games, the gold content of each regular season game is higher.

Tonight's opponent, the Cleveland Cavaliers, currently has a record of 6 wins and 10 losses.

It wasn't too bad, at least it was better than Chen Yan expected.

After James left, the champion Irving was ushered in, this talented young man.

When Chen Yan was warming up, he took a special look at Owen, and he was very motivated.

As long as Owen plays seriously, Chen Yan will recognize his skills.

The starting point guard for the Knicks tonight is Beverley.

He looks excited, and at this pace he could be the team's starting point guard for a long time.

The Knicks' other starters remain unchanged.

Cleveland Cavaliers starting five: Kyrie Irving, Anthony Parker, Casspi, Jamison, Varejao

The game officially started, Jordan beat Varejao and gave the ball to Chen Yan.

Jordan has a high jump ball success rate, and his static and dynamic talents are top-notch among active big men in the league.

Beverly didn't ask for the ball and ran directly to the frontcourt. He is very smart and knows who is the boss of this team.

Anthony Parker is responsible for guarding Chen Yan.

For Chen Yan, this is an old opponent. He had defended Chen Yan when he was in the Raptors.

Chen Yan first took a step to the right, and then quickly pulled back.

Anthony Parker's legs trembled and he almost fell to the ground.

Chen Yan's speed and rhythm make his dribbling very strange, and often a common movement can knock people down.

Anthony Carter stabilized his body and continued to follow. Chen Yan paused for a while, accelerated again, and used the rhythm change to pass Anthony Parker.

Anthony Parker was once a good defender, and all he has left with age is experience.

Chen Yan made an emergency stop near the free throw line.

"Shh!"

hit!

0:2.

Chen Yan took the lead, and cheers erupted from the scene.

The Cleveland Cavaliers attacked, and Kyrie Irving immediately responded.

Irving moved to the frontcourt and called a pick-and-roll, then sprinted through the gap between Varejao and DeAndre Jordan.

Then facing David West's defense, Irving played in the air and pulled the bar backhand for a layup.

The whole scoring process was smooth and smooth, and it was done in one go.

Owen has the aura of a newborn calf not afraid of tigers. He doesn't think Chen Yan is so great, it's just that the outside world blows it up.
