Chapter 269: Lin’s madness shocked the world, Jiang Ming expressed indifference [Happy New Year’s Eve]]

“Linsanity continues! Kobe gets to know him!”

“On that 38-point night, Kobe was eclipsed!”

Linsanity!

Lin Madness is coming!
What Jiang Ming, all the people in the circle and Asian fans did not expect was…

An undrafted player in 2011, with an Asian face and a top student.

There has been a huge storm in the NBA!
Coming from Harvard, a basketball barren land, he failed to be selected in the draft, is of Chinese descent, has been laid off one after another, and is on the verge of being laid off for the third time…

It was in such a desperate situation that Jeremy Lin came to the rescue when Anthony was injured and the Knicks had no one available!

He suddenly broke out against the Nets on February 2, coming off the bench to score 4 points, 25 rebounds and 5 assists. He not only reversed the Knicks’ season trend, setting a record for the most points scored in the first 7 starts in a player’s career, but also became a global idol.

The word “Linsanity” became popular across the United States.

The front page of the newspaper on Jiang Ming’s desk every day is a headshot of Jeremy Lin:
Jeremy Lin becomes New York’s new hero
Jeremy Lin wins Eastern Conference Player of the Week

Jeremy Lin scores the winning goal against the Raptors
Jeremy Lin appears on the cover of Time magazine

Jeremy Lin tops Time’s list of the world’s 100 most influential people.

“Awesome, it has wiped out all the news about Kobe’s progress towards 30000 points.” You know, the hottest news in the NBA a while ago was that Kobe was continuing to strive for the 3-point mark after his comeback.

With each game approaching tens or even tens of minutes, fans and the media are paying close attention.

And now, everyone is paying attention to how long a yellow man can be crazy!
With no guaranteed contract, the possibility of being fired at any time, and nowhere to live, he lives on his teammates’ couches. But this “loser” young man has become a new hero in New York, was selected as the Player of the Week, appeared on the cover of Time magazine, and was ranked first among the 100 most influential people in the world by Time magazine.
Jeremy Lin’s inspirational story has suddenly become a role model for young people all over the world to learn from.

Jiang Ming still feels his blood boiling when he replays the moment when Jeremy Lin calmly and confidently defeated the Raptors.

This is a yellow point guard!
Can a yellow point guard do these things?
And the most amazing thing is that after defeating the Raptors, he beat the Lakers in the next game. The old player Fisher was like a rookie in front of him and was easily defeated.

Kobe had just won the Trail Blazers at that time, and he was in high spirits in an interview before the game and said:
“What is LIN? I don’t know.”

As a result, Jeremy Lin continued to score 38 points after the game:

“You’re still asking that question? Bro, he scored 38 points, do you think I’m blind?”

Jiang Ming sent a private message to Kobe Bryant that was heartbreaking:
“Let you come back and beat us? Wouldn’t it be nice to come back and beat Lin Madness?”

Kobe responded with a crying emoji:

“Brother, I really didn’t know about Linsanity before my comeback! If I had known, I would have definitely tried my best to break his record.”

Jiang Ming:

“Okay, let’s work together and do what we can!”

Kobe felt that the more he described the situation, the worse it got: “That’s not what I meant.”

February 2, Knicks vs. Kings
在林书豪客场绝杀了猛龙取得了6连胜之后，尼克斯回到主场打与国王的背靠背比赛，本场比赛林书豪6投4中，得到10分5篮板13助攻。

7人得分上双的尼克斯以100:85大胜国王，取得7连胜，15胜15负，尼克斯胜率重回50%
February 2, Knicks vs. Hornets
本场比赛面对联盟倒数第二，西部倒数第一的黄蜂队，林书豪18投8中得到26分5助攻4抢断，斯塔德迈尔26分12篮板，钱德勒10分11篮板。

However, the other players performed very badly and were behind throughout the game, with the maximum score reaching 14 points. Although they once caught up to only 3 points, they fell short and lost 85:89, ending the Knicks’ 7-game winning streak.

But Jeremy Lin’s madness hasn’t stopped yet.

February 2, Knicks vs. Mavericks
This was another game broadcast live nationwide by ESPN (ABC), and it took place at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday, U.S. time. Before this game, the Knicks signed JR Smith, who had been a big shot in CBA Zhejiang Chouzhou not long ago.

JR and Anthony work together again!

Just be Jeremy Lin’s younger brother first!
Facing the defending champion Mavericks, Jeremy Lin made 20 of 11 shots, scored 28 points, 14 assists and 5 steals, leading the Knicks to a successful comeback after falling behind by as much as 12 points in the third quarter, defeating the Mavericks 104:97 and bringing the winning rate back to 50%!

In the first nine starting games of his career, Jeremy Lin averaged 9 points, 25 assists and 9.9 steals per game. This performance is unprecedented and will never be surpassed in NBA history.

He deserves to be directly listed as the hottest person of the year.

The military training of Nowitzki, the tacit understanding with boxing champion Chandler, made Stoudemire willing to be a supporting role.
All fans think that Lin’s madness will continue until the playoffs.

But everyone in the industry, including Jiang Ming, knows that once Anthony returns, Jeremy Lin will be done for.

Think about Anthony’s personality?

He is the self-proclaimed King of New York. Although he clapped very enthusiastically during Linsanity, he clapped less and less in the later games.

Everyone can see that Jeremy Lin needs the ball to play well. He is a heavy point guard and ordinary point guards cannot handle him.

But Anthony and JR Smith all need the ball in their hands.

The new JR is okay, he is a bit of a hot-tempered person, and it’s first come first served, so it’s okay if Jeremy Lin doesn’t give him the ball on the court.

But whenever Anthony is on the court, he calls for the ball and wants to play low-post tactics. How can Jeremy Lin not give it to him?
Wouldn’t that completely disrupt the rhythm?

Even Jiang Ming, who is not a professional coach, can tell that the two of them are definitely not compatible.

So it can also be considered for the sake of the yellow race. A week ago, Anthony’s team wanted to invite Jiang Ming to come for a consultation for 100 million, but Jiang Ming refused, saying that he had something to do. Otherwise, Lin’s madness would probably have stopped even faster.

And now that Anthony has returned, Lin’s madness is indeed gone.

In the first game after his comeback against the Nets, although Jeremy Lin also had the ball when Anthony had all the possession, he played awkwardly and the situation suddenly became unsightly.

It was originally a fast break pick-and-roll system with point guard as the core, but after Anthony came, it fell into a superstar one-on-one system.

“Linsanity” started when the Knicks played against the Nets at home, and “Linsanity” ended when the Knicks played against the Nets at home. In this game, Deron Williams scored 38 points, and Jeremy Lin’s performance was also good, making 18 of 7 shots and scoring 21 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists and 4 steals.

但刚复出的安东尼拉了大垮，11投4中仅得11分，正如“林疯狂”开始的那场15投3中仅得11分的比赛一样，尼克斯92:100输给篮网。

Then the Knicks beat the Hawks by 17 points at home.

紧接着就是客场对阵热火，林书豪11投1中仅得8分，尼克斯88:102热火。

Of course, losing to the Heat is not shameful, and the Heat’s front office is famous for studying their opponents.

The Heat knew him too well after studying him, so he couldn’t emerge as he did before.

Jiang Ming now knows how advanced the NBA’s scouting system is. Every player will be thoroughly studied from head to toe by scouts from each team with a magnifying glass, so Jeremy Lin’s technical characteristics have long been thoroughly studied by his opponents.

The Heat are likely to face the Knicks in the first round of the playoffs, so it would be strange if they don’t study it.

In addition, Jeremy Lin himself does not have the adjustment ability of a top star now, so it is obvious why Linsanity ended after only 7 games. It’s just that the fans are unwilling to accept it. The league and the fans want him to continue to be crazy.

But Jeremy Lin is the biggest dark horse in the league right now, and other players will definitely try their best to limit him. Other players, especially those defending him, also want to be heroes.

After the crushing defeat to the Heat, the Knicks defeated the Cavaliers at home, and then suffered their second six-game losing streak of the season, followed by the dismissal of the head coach.

As soon as Jeremy Lin’s mentor left his job, the next coach would never use him, which led to him playing with injuries all the time.

Seven consecutive games of madness is already a long time. After all, he is not a superstar. As an NBA undrafted player, it is not easy for Jeremy Lin to maintain a very high level in seven consecutive NBA games. His crazy interruption is mainly due to his injury, which caused his condition to decline.

Jiang Ming also analyzed the situation in his spare time. It seems that Shuhao’s knee is not in good condition. Should he continue to use it?

If it were in the Trail Blazers, Jiang Ming would definitely let him rest for a game, he can’t continue playing!

During this six-game losing streak, in the overtime loss to the Celtics away from home (the beginning of the six-game losing streak), Jeremy Lin was blown away by Rondo’s 18 points, 17 rebounds and 20 assists, and in the 5-point loss to the Bulls away from home (the end of the six-game losing streak).

Jeremy Lin was beaten by Rose’s 32 points, but in this game Jeremy Lin also blocked Rose’s shot.

After Woodson took office, the Knicks got back on track and it seemed that there would be no problem for them to enter the playoffs.

Although Linsanity did not maintain the extremely high level during the period, it can be said that after this madness, Jeremy Lin officially established his foothold in the NBA and became a qualified rotation player!

99% of role players cannot play seven games like this in their entire life, let alone play them consecutively. This is why the whole world is going crazy about Jeremy Lin this time. Once you go crazy, you will benefit from it for the rest of your life!
You won’t have to worry about contracts, even big contracts, in the future!
However, the more Jiang Ming watched the subsequent highlights, the more he felt something was wrong. Jeremy Lin became more and more dependent on the outside shooting. The super-awesome one-step passes during the crazy period of the first few games and the tough breakthroughs after physical confrontations were rarely seen.

Sure enough, news soon came that Jeremy Lin was injured, and he continued to fight with the injury.

Knee pain? Meniscus problem.

Jiang Ming saw the problem at first sight. He had been treating knees for so many years, how could he not know the problem with his knees?

Jiang Ming saw problems with Jeremy Lin’s playing style, while the fans looked at the team’s record and Jeremy Lin’s data.

If fans hadn’t questioned Jeremy Lin’s condition and that Anthony was the cancer of the Knicks that caused the team’s record to decline, the Knicks would never have announced it so quickly.

Injuries can calm public anger.

Fans all like to watch exciting things. Jeremy Lin couldn’t perform well in the last seven or eight games, so there always has to be something to blame.

But in fact, this is not the pot, it is the fact.

Sure enough, just after the Knicks announced that Jeremy Lin’s decline in form was due to injury, Knicks owner Dolan personally called Jiang Ming to inquire about Jeremy Lin’s condition.

It does indicate a knee problem:

“Dr. Jiang is indeed worthy of his reputation. Shuhao’s knees are severely worn out. Our New York medical team said it’s a meniscus problem. Either he needs a minor surgery or he can come to your place for physical therapy. I heard that your physical therapy is very good.”

“Okay.”

Jiang Ming accepted everyone who came to him, all of them were yellow people, and most of them were orchids and worth a lot of money.

So Jiang Ming met him the next day, and it was also the first time he met this top student from Harvard.

The moment Jeremy Lin got off the airport, a bunch of reporters and fans @Jiang Ming and the Trail Blazers official.

“Hey, hey, hey! Lin Lai’s Chinese medicine team is here to treat us!”

“Awesome! Jiang Ming defeated the New York medical team.”

“Yeah, this is the first time I’ve seen someone from New York go outside for treatment. This is too exaggerated.”

“@Dr. Jiang Ming, seize the opportunity! Jeremy Lin only has one year contract, come to the Trail Blazers in the offseason!”

“@Director Jiang, it’s time to recruit people!”

“@Jiang Ming, you can naturalize in China!”

“The Chinese men’s basketball team lacks such a super point guard. With him, they will be invincible!”

“Yes, Jeremy Lin’s ancestral home is either Shandong or Guangdong. He also said that he would come back to worship his ancestors during the off-season. I suggest that he should be naturalized!”

“The Trail Blazers won, naturalized to the Chinese national team, invincible!”

“Yes, I will definitely write about Jeremy Lin in my college entrance examination essay this year to show my respect!”

Since the fans all said so, Jiang Ming naturally had the same idea.

So when Jiang Ming was doing acupuncture on Jeremy Lin’s knee and combining it with infrared heating therapy, he also asked:
“Were you born in China?”

“NO~”

As a result, Jeremy Lin spoke English with a pure authentic accent and did not know any Chinese at all during the conversation with Jiang Ming, so Jiang Ming felt a little embarrassed.

Isn’t he a pure American? Jeremy Lin grew up in the United States and has never set foot on Chinese soil.

So when he tentatively asked Jeremy Lin if he had any plans to naturalize, he flatly refused:

“I’m sorry, Director Jiang, my goal is to join the US national team. I don’t know much about China, so I may consider naturalization only after I join the US team.”

this.
really!

Pure American thinking.

After he went crazy, he just wanted to join the US team and become a hero.

Because if he can make it into the US team, or even into this year’s Olympic team, he will be the first yellow player to join the US Dream Team!
This honor is much better for him than naturalization.

But he is very interested in joining the Trail Blazers. His next contract will definitely be a big contract, so he is also very smart, worthy of being a Harvard graduate. While receiving physical therapy, he kept asking Jiang Ming about his attitude.

Jiang Ming naturally said it directly. After all, you said your decision not to naturalize so directly, so I will be more direct:
“It seems that we are not short of people in the back line.”

There is indeed no shortage of them. It would be fine if Jeremy Lin could shoot more accurately. His playing style mainly relies on his body, but in fact, your body is not good enough in the Western Conference.

It has to be players like Curry and Dragic who can shoot and are suitable to be paired with the trident!
Otherwise, if you like to break through with a heavy tank, there are people inside!

So Jiang Ming directly stopped him from thinking about it. The Trail Blazers’ uniform staff must have thought about this matter as well. The reason why it didn’t reach Jiang Ming’s ears was probably because they denied it themselves.

Although Jeremy Lin has a Chinese face, he can’t even speak Mandarin and is unwilling to learn it. What’s the matter?

This kind of person is destined to not get any endorsements in China. Fans and customers are not fools. They can see Jeremy Lin’s attitude.

Not to mention that he can’t break through like Roy, and his shooting is not as stable as Curry and Dragic!

Therefore, Jiang Ming became less and less interested in the player with the same skin color as him.

But the last request of Jeremy Lin before he left was too much
