Super Basketball Manager

Chapter 317: Jeremy Lin's debut!

"This is really...Xiao Luo," Yao's father and Yao's mother in the VIP reception room had subtle smiles on their faces, which made Ron very ashamed, and greeted him again and again...

He thought of the time when he first arrived in Houston last year, when the old man greeted him and helped him a lot, he was filled with emotion...

The Chinese couple behind them was also smiling, of course they were Jeremy Lin's parents...

In front of them, Ron didn't put on any airs, and served tea and water cordially, his fellow countryman's affection was beyond words...

"Well...Jeremy Lin, I have paid attention to him...Actually, if we had a second-round pick in the draft, I would definitely have selected him..." Ron said with a smile: "Of course, it doesn't matter about favors, his strength is completely worthy of this honor..."

Jeremy Lin, born in 88, Chinese-born Chinese player, native of Fujian...Jeremy Lin graduated from Harvard University, led the Harvard University basketball team to win the Ivy League division championship, and entered the NCAA 64 strong...

Although Harvard University has always given people the impression that it is rich in social elites with well-developed minds, in fact Lin and his team are not as weak as imagined...

在林书豪大学四年级赛季（2009—2010赛季）中，场均贡献16。4分，4。4个篮板，4。5次助攻，2。4次抢断以及1。1次盖帽，并再一次全票入选了常春藤联盟第一阵容。

Of course, in the eyes of most people in the league, just like they were not optimistic about Paul George before, Lin's college league is mainly in the Ivy League, the second-tier league. In addition, there are no statistics against the sky, and the prospect of the draft is underestimated...

It's just that in Ron's eyes, he has the ability and aptitude to play in the NBA. Although his talent is mediocre, his athletic ability is considered the most outstanding among the yellow race...

"He can play for any team. He's great, he's calm on the court. He knows how to play." Here's what Houston scouting general counsel Mohammad Atti said about Jeremy Lin...

"Because the team has no extra salary space, I can't sign Lin now, but Lin can join our summer league team and get a considerable playing time guarantee. Although I can't guarantee how much it will help his NBA career, it will definitely attract the attention of many teams..." Ron explained to the four elders.

"Our summer league team is quite luxurious. You have to use your own efforts to impress the general manager of the team that is interested in you..." He walked to the side of Jeremy Lin who was a little excited, and then said earnestly.

"Thank you, manager, uh...we...who are we?" Jeremy Lin said with great interest.

Ron smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Cousins, George, and Bledsoe are the main players, as well as second-year Jermaine Taylor. McGrady, who returned from injury, was allowed by the league to participate in the summer league a few days ago, which makes our summer league team a luxury..."

"Tracy McGrady? Oh, MY-GOD!" Jeremy Lin smiled humbly...

After seeing off the fourth elder and Lin, Ron turned around and called San Francisco.

Their manager, NBA legend Chris Mullin, has a good relationship with Ron.

"Chris, I need your help..."

...

"What? Put that Harvard kid on loan with the Warriors for a year, and buy it back at double the price next year?" Olajuwon was unconvinced for a while. "I said, even if it's 'going through the back door', don't be too obvious..."

"Believe me, it's worth a try..." Ron snickered and said with confidence: "I see strength and hope in the eyes of my fellow villagers..."

Olajuwon shrugged...

...

Although the Rockets are the only general manager who invited Jeremy Lin to participate in the summer league.

But this has inadvertently opened a bridge to the future for Jeremy Lin...

"Ron took good care of me," Jeremy Lin said. "He has a different vision than most."

In the 5 summer league games, the Rockets, known as the "Galaxy Battleship" in the summer league, were in a state of turmoil. Obviously, McGrady joined in the summer league, which attracted many fans to watch the game. As Bledsoe's substitute, Jeremy Lin averaged 18 minutes per game, scored 6 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals, and ranked first in the team with a 2% two-point shooting percentage.

In the fourth game of the summer league, Houston played against the Washington Wizards. This is the most star-studded game in this summer league. In addition to the champion Wall, Washington also has five future regulars, JaVale McGee and Andre Bratcher...

Jeremy Lin started the game. In the matchup with John Wall, the No. 2010 pick in the 13 draft, Jeremy Lin and Wall scored 21 points and 28 points respectively, but Jeremy Lin played 12 minutes and made 6 of 33 shots; Wall played 19 minutes and made 4 of [-] shots.

While Wall got the loudest ovation when he introduced the players, the crowd gave it to Jeremy Lin after the game.

Although in the Las Vegas Summer League, Wall averaged 23 points and 5 assists per game.Both technical statistics are the top of all players.But Houston's starting point guard Jeremy Lin who played against him today made him suffer.

Perhaps it was because of fellow Houston general manager Ron's presence on the field to watch the game, he seemed full of confidence, and at the beginning of the game, he used Luan's familiar lotus steps to shake off Wall and succeeded in throwing.

Of course, Wall's performance in this game was not good. His shortcomings of bad basket were infinitely magnified. With Bledsoe and Paul George as two outside defenders, plus Cousins ​​in the inside, he couldn't help the team with the breakthrough he is good at...

The classic scene happened in the second half. When the score was tight, the assistant coach almost sent McGrady, who hadn’t played in the game, on the field. Jeremy Lin used Cousins’ pick-and-roll in a key attack, a CROSS-OVER, passed Wall, and at the same time, a no-look-pass was passed to Cousins ​​who was plugged in. The latter made a dunk and led the Rockets to take over the game again...

"How is it?" Ron asked Olajuwon with a smile.

The old man didn't speak, but nodded approvingly.

"He is suitable for a team with him as the axis, which adds a lot to his performance on the court... But the physique of the yellow race is flawed. He needs to play smarter and practice shooting and defense. Maybe he can also become a great backcourt commander like Steve Nash..."

The Houston Rockets' summer league was calm and calm. Perhaps their strong immediate combat ability could not convince them how good they can be in the regular season, but the strong performance of the three rookies undoubtedly gave the fans of Space City a shot in the arm. Especially McGrady's status is recovering, which is already very exciting.

After that, with the strong performance in the fourth game, the Warriors invited Jeremy Lin to Oakland for trial training, and finally Jeremy Lin officially landed in the NBA's first guaranteed contract.

...

"Why not let Teodosic play in summer league?"

"He is the most mysterious player among us, he is a surprise soldier, his performance determines our height in the new season..."

　"He can play for any team. He's great, he's calm on the court. He knows how to play."
