Chapter 42 Terrible Jeremy

In the last 3 minutes of the third quarter, Jeremy Lin was replaced for a rest. After Mudiay came on the field, Mu Xiaobei and Aldridge's high and low positions coordinated with each other to stabilize the situation for the Spurs, while the Greens sent Irving to kill the Greens to stop the bleeding. .

After 2 minutes in the fourth quarter, the Spurs were still seven points behind the Greens, and the Spurs requested a substitution.

"Jeremy Lin came on the field and received thunderous applause from the Spurs players. The ball was behind by 2 points. In just three rounds, a three-pointer, a breakthrough 1+3, and a 1+[-], Jeremy Lin scored [-] points in one and a half minutes. The ball brought the game back from the edge of the cliff." Wang Meng explained.

"That's right, Jeremy Lin played more of the role of Manu Ginobili in the Spurs, and he can also provide a lot of vitality. In fact, I think he is better than the Knicks at the time when Lin was crazy. The important thing is that the shooting ability has stabilized." Su Qun said.

In the cheers of the whole game, Jeremy Lin returned to the court.

Owen swayed continuously, easily swaying Jeremy Lin's center of gravity, but Mu Xiaobei immediately defended him.

Just like when Thomas Jr. played the strongest 175 on the surface of the Celtics, Popovich will also let Jeremy Lin put more energy on the offensive end during the intermission, and his teammates will share the responsibility for him on the defensive end.

Just after Irving dribbled past Jeremy Lin, and just as Mu Xiaobei rushed over, he made an emergency stop throw.

Uncle Drew's arsenal is really rich, no matter what posture he seems to be able to score the ball.

Jeremy Lin dribbled the ball left and right for the Spurs' offense. Irving was indeed not a very good defender. Jeremy Lin accelerated and squeezed Irving away.

Irving dribbled the ball, changed hands and pulled it back after a forward dribble, then turned around, re-dribbled and adjusted, and then directly made a mid-range jumper.

But the ball failed to hit.

Jeremy Lin handed the ball to Mu Xiaobei. Mu Xiaobei made an off-ball pick-and-roll for Belinelli in the high position, but Belinelli failed to run out of position, but Kuzma made an off-ball pick-and-roll for Jeremy Lin. Jeremy Lin has a gap.

After Mu Xiaobei passed the ball, Jaylen Brown's defense was in place very quickly. Jeremy Lin made a fake shot to deceive Brown's center of gravity, and accelerated to break through to the basket, but Horford failed to make up the defense in time.

Boom——

A yellow lightning bombarded the basket, and Jeremy Lin dunked successfully.

"Shooting Shuhao, what a dunk!" Wang Meng shouted loudly.

Tatum wanted to get to a good position to get the ball, turned left and right, then turned around, then hit Aldridge with his back, and then made a Kobe-like fadeaway jumper.

"bang—"

Still missed, Jeremy Lin took the long rebound directly.

The backcourt directly launches a counterattack. Although the Spurs are the least fond of counterattacks, when the ball is in the hands of Jeremy Lin or Kuzma, both of them are very confident about fast break counterattacks.

Jeremy Lin went to the basket, facing the strict defense of two people, he did not layup directly, but threw the ball behind his back, and Mu Xiaobei happened to be standing outside the three-point line at the top of the arc.

Mu Xiaobei raised his hand, and both of them jumped over Mu Xiaobei. Behind him, Tatum was also waiting for Mu Xiaobei's shot to run to block the shot, but Mu Xiaobei passed the ball to the baseline.

Jeremy Lin, who ran from the basket to the bottom corner, was emptied directly, and Jeremy Lin made a three-pointer.

shhhhh--

Jeremy Lin hits a three-pointer, a standard Curry-style counterattack - pass the ball to a supporting player such as Green, and then run without the ball. After the supporting player attracts defensive attention, he can get a relatively loose shot space.

"Jeremy Lin has scored another seven points in a row, and now the Spurs are only two points behind." Wang Meng said.

"It's really crazy Jeremy Lin." Su Qun sighed.

Horford received the pass from the pick-and-roll and shot a three-pointer, but his shooting speed was very slow, and was interfered by Adelaide who rushed over, "Duang—" missed a three-pointer.

Mu Xiaobei protected the rebound, and then looked for Jeremy Lin.

"The Spurs chose to pull away, but the Celtics have already chosen to double-team Jeremy Lin." Wang Meng shouted.

Double-teaming is often a treatment that only a superstar can have, but Jeremy Lin's ball is really too strong. No matter what, he can make a shot. Are you angry or not?
However, Jeremy Lin didn't get a little hot-headed because he made a lot of shots. He was still able to find his teammates very accurately, and Belinelli hit a three-pointer.

The Spurs played more and more methodically, and because of Jeremy Lin's super performance, the Celtics finally found a single defense Jeremy Lin and refused to shoot.

but, but, but,

Jeremy Lin ran around without the ball, and Mu Xiaobei passed the ball. Jeremy Lin faced the defense sealed by Irving and Brown, and shot a three-pointer backwards.

shhhhh--

hit.

The Spurs officially lead the Celtics by one point.

"Beep-"

Head coach Stevens called a timeout to kill the Spurs, but it was useless. Jeremy Lin was completely crazy.

At 7:31, Jeremy Lin folded under the basket and made a layup.

At 7:14, Jeremy Lin assisted Mu Xiaobei and scored from the basket.

At 6:21, Jeremy Lin made a strong three-pointer against Irving.

6:00 Jeremy Lin made a layup from the basket.

At 5:04, Jeremy Lin made a strong three-pointer. So far, Jeremy Lin's score has broken through the [-]-point mark.

In the fourth quarter, relying on Jeremy Lin's explosive performance, the Green Army replaced the substitute with 3 minutes left in the game and declared that they were no longer resisting. The Spurs were at their home court, in the first game of 2019, facing Against the first Celtics in the East, they defended their home court.

Amidst the shouts of "MVP MVP" in the audience, the Spurs generals walked up the passage leading to the locker room.

In the whole game, Mu Xiaobei only hit 18 of 6 shots and scored 16 points. His state was sluggish. Adelaide scored 27 points, and [-] of them were scored in the first half.

Jeremy Lin, who came off the bench, played 36 minutes and scored 50 points + 7 assists. He is called the seventh player to score 50+ points this season after Griffin, Davis, James, Harden, and Westbrook.

Moreover, he was also the first player to score 50+ from the bench.

The outbreak of the bookmaker in this game made many people see the depth of the Spurs' lineup, and it also made many people have a different assessment of the true strength of the Spurs.

But no matter how you reassess, you can't beat Brave Fire.

This game also exposed Mu Xiaobei's old problems again - physical fitness and confrontation.

The tacit understanding and cooperation between him and Alder on the offensive and defensive ends are already very good, but under the two meat grinders of Baynes and Horford, his strength is far from being able to be brought into play.

His three-point long-range shots are also gone due to physical reasons. He did hit a few low posts, but after the defense comes up from behind, he is still not mature enough to handle the ball.

Still need to work harder, looking at the starry sky in the holy city, Mu Xiaobei stretched out his hand and thought.

　Thank you very much for the two recommendation tickets of [Poor Monk Lingyu Dharma Name Huanxi Chan] and the three recommendation tickets of [Old Pi $_$]. Thank you very much for your support.

　　good night, everyone.
