Regarding Jeremy Lin, Kemba Walker just felt that the Knicks should have temporarily found a top player to deal with the excessive injury crisis, so they didn't take it seriously.
Therefore, on the first ball of the second quarter, Walker didn't even think about looking for teammates to cover, but made a gesture to let his teammates pull away.
Except for Diaw, all the Bobcats players on the court were unhappy with Kemba Walker's gesture.
A rookie directed them to open up. If it weren't for the fact that Kemba Walker was a point guard and had some strength, these veterans would have stopped wanting to take him.
As for Diaw, he is a good old man, an optimist, who likes to enjoy life, and is very selfless in playing. He will not score as long as he can pass the ball, and his character is also happy-go-lucky.
And Lian Dao remembers that it was because of Diaw's selflessness that he was waived by the Bobcats.
The Bobcats asked Diaw to score as much as possible on the court, but Diaw still created opportunities for his teammates on the court and used exquisite passes to deliver cannonballs to his teammates. This also made the Bobcats management very dissatisfied and immediately laid off Diaw.
At that time, Lian Dao felt that the Bobcats' management was out of their minds. A player who could play from 1 to 5 was simply laid off.
Good guy, Chandler is good at defense, trade him out; Diaw is excellent in organizing and passing the ball, trade him out.
Later, Diaw was signed by the Spurs in the blink of an eye, and then won the trust of **Vic in the playoffs, and made great contributions to the Spurs' championship.
Bobcats: nba championship puzzle training base!
Jeremy Lin joined the league as an undrafted player last season and has long felt the warmth and warmth of the world, so he cherishes every opportunity.
Moreover, although he signed a contract with the Knicks, it is a non-guaranteed contract. Whether it will be converted into a guaranteed contract depends on Jeremy Lin's performance.
Therefore, Jeremy Lin defended this ball very seriously. He stepped forward and tightly wrapped around Kemba Walker, trying to squeeze his dribbling space.
However, Kemba Walker is somewhat disdainful of Jeremy Lin's defense.
By defending closely, doesn't this give him a chance to break through?
Simply, after a large change of direction in front of the body, he kicked off the ground with his right foot and accelerated the breakthrough...
Kemba Walker, who completed this series of breakthrough moves, smiled proudly.
He is now ready to drive straight into the penalty area. Next, Kemba Walker has even decided whether to score or assist.
However, suddenly he realized something was wrong. He didn't know when the No. 17 jersey number was attached to him again.
This made Kemba Walker feel a little surprised. Jeremy Lin blocked the breakthrough route, and Kemba Walker's dribbling stopped.
But then, Tony Allen stepped forward and completed a double-team with Jeremy Lin.
Kemba Walker had no choice but to move the ball.
Just when he was about to pass the ball to Gerald Henderson, Lian Dao completed the steal before Henderson, and then the Knicks quickly started a fast break.
Henderson and Maggette were chasing after Lian Dao, but neither could catch up with Lian Dao.
At this time, in order to make up for his previous mistakes, Kemba Walker accelerated to the basket and blocked Lian Dao's breakthrough route, waiting to cause Lian Dao to commit an offensive foul.
But Lian Dao did not choose to break through, but made a no-look pass and threw the ball to Jeremy Lin who was 45 degrees outside the three-point line.
Now the Bobcats' entire attention is on Lian Dao, and no one has noticed that Jeremy Lin is vacant.
Jeremy Lin received the pass from Lian Dao and without any hesitation, he put away his knife and hit a three-pointer.
"Well done, that's all!"
Lian Dao returned to defense and high-fived Jeremy Lin excitedly.
And this three-pointer also gave Jeremy Lin confidence, which made him unable to restrain his excitement, beating his chest and pulling on his jersey.
The fans in the audience were also cheering for Jeremy Lin's goal. Maybe many fans didn't know Jeremy Lin's name yet, but they appreciated Jeremy Lin's performance just now.
Jeremy Lin, who plays with confidence, works even harder when he returns to the defensive end.
In the Bobcats' offense, Kemba Walker, who suffered a loss last time, clearly paid attention to Jeremy Lin this time. From outside the three-point line, he dribbled the ball quickly to break through. Jeremy Lin quickly moved his steps laterally to block the breakthrough route.
But Kemba Walker then used his signature move.
He makes an emergency stop at the crotch, pulls back and steps back for a mid-range shot.
Because Jeremy Lin's previous defensive focus was on breakthroughs, the inertia of his body made it difficult for him to adjust his defense, and he could only watch Kemba Walker shoot and score.
Even as a rookie, Kemba Walker was not bad at all, especially his disguised moves and retreats. Especially the combination of disguised breakthroughs and retreats made it difficult for every defender to grasp his skills.
offensive intent.
The Knicks served quickly, and Jeremy Lin dribbled the ball across half court. Lian Dao set a screen for him. Without any hesitation, he used Lian Dao's screen to kick off the ball with his left foot, quickly stepped out with his right foot, and then accelerated to break through to the basket.
His first step was so quick that Corey Maggette, who was covering the ball, was passed before he could react.
d. White quickly covered up the defense. Jeremy Lin's breakthrough speed did not slow down, but the basketball with his left hand was thrown to the front right side of his body under the basket. At this time, Millsap, who was in the air, directly caught the ball and took off, dunking under the basket.
Facing the tall White, Jeremy Lin did not force himself. His offensive choice made D'Antoni on the sidelines smile and applaud.
D'Antoni has a soft spot for point guards who play smart and have high intelligence, from Stephen Nash in the past to James Harden in later generations.
An excellent point guard is an excellent court commander who can make the team's offense better and smoother.
Of course, the current Jeremy Lin does not have this quality, but as a substitute, D'Antoni was satisfied with his flash of performance.
Tony Douglas was also very good before, but he mainly performed on defense and organized offense, which can only be said to be quite satisfactory.
D'Antoni is an offensive master. He can't say he likes Tony Douglas, and of course, he can't say he hates him either.

Compared to D'Antoni's satisfaction, Bobcats coach Paul Silas is extremely dissatisfied, especially when a little-known Chinese player who has never even been heard of is being fooled around.
This caused Paul Silas to yell directly at the Bobcat players on the court.
"Are you guarding the air? You can't guard against ckle, you can't guard against Amare, can't you guard against an Asian kid whose name you don't even know?"
A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I’ve known for ten years! It’s so easy to use. I use it to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here]
But the players on the field wanted to tell him that this Asian kid you mentioned is really not that easy to defend.
The Bobcats' main force faced off against the Knicks' substitutes, but the Bobcats' deficit continued to expand.
The fans in the audience were very excited now. With the introduction by the commentator, the fans finally knew the name of this player with the same skin color as their star player.
Jeremy Lin's outstanding performance in two consecutive rounds also delighted the fans at the scene.
Originally, many people were worried about the team's injuries. When the team's official website announced the signing of Jeremy Lin, these fans also accused the team of only signing small fish and shrimps.
But unexpectedly, the fans' tone changed drastically in the blink of an eye, and they all praised the Knicks' management for their discernment.
Jeremy Lin: Yesterday I was indifferent to her, but today I call her "Tiantian"!
Fans: Love is all, don’t care about these details...
The offense on the field is still in full swing.
This time Kemba Walker and Boris Diaw played a pick-and-roll and pushed inside.
Jeremy Lin went around the pick-and-roll in advance, and Kemba Walker accelerated just in time to meet Jeremy Lin.
However, Kemba Walker's reaction speed was still very fast, and he took advantage of the situation and completed the shot.
However, Jeremy Lin's wingspan is not bad, and his jumping is also very good.
After jumping up, his arms just covered Kemba Walker's shooting angle.
"Snapped!"
Kemba Walker's eyes widened. He didn't expect that he would be cheated.
This block came suddenly, Tony Allen flew to grab the ball on the floor, and then passed the ball to Lian Dao.
Lian Dao took the ball, turned around, and started a fast break.
The Bobcats...can't catch up!
When Lian Dao starts a fast attack, especially after charging up, basically no one can defend him. Just like James charging up, he is a humanoid tank, and Lian Dao is also an accelerated version of a humanoid tank.
