The Grizzly Bear's First Show (5)）
Jiang Lin's words were full of confidence. It was also a signal to the coach that he had completed what he had asked.
He would not be like a certain center who said " I'm not ready " when the Rockets coach called him to play. That was the stupidest behavior in history.
Hollings glanced at him and entered the venue after hearing the introduction of the live DJ.
The Federal Express Center could accommodate 19400 people. Today, the attendance rate was about three-quarters, which was not bad. For example, Staples Center, which was full every time, would naturally be a little worse.
The home team usually only introduced the starting lineup and the head coach one by one. The substitutes lined up to welcome the starting lineup. However, today, the live DJ had specially welcomed Jiang. There were many fans cheering in the stadium. Not only were there some Chinese fans who had come from afar, but there were also some local fans in Miami who were very excited.
That was for sure. This was the man who had knocked James down. The fans liked the new and hated the old. They had to look forward to it first.
Jiang Lin smiled and waved at them. Of course, he saw the Chinese placards and was very touched because he knew how expensive the air tickets from China were. The Murphy Airport was the second largest cargo airport in the world. There were direct flights from the Imperial Capital International Airport, and the ticket price was more than 5000 US dollars.
"Jiang Lin will definitely kill Jiang Lin! Charge!"
Someone even photoshopped the picture of Jiang Lin shaking James."The future Bear King of the Southern Territory, shake everything!”
"Memphis-Huaxia will always be a family!”
Jiang Lin smiled slightly and started the three-point training. In order to not let the fans spend money to see him, he had to seize every opportunity.
After both sides finished warming up, the match officially began!
Central TV Department 5 and Paininfo Sports were both broadcasting live.
Central TV directly used the strongest lineup of Yu Jia Zhang Weiping, and the most exciting lineup was Wang Zixing Ma Jian.
Yu Jia: " Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this morning's NBA game between the Grizzlies and the Bulls. In this game, the Chinese player, Jiang Lin, will be on the Grizzlies 'roster for the first time. It will be his debut for the Grizzlies. Let's wait and see.”
Zhang Weiping: " Yes, but other than the Chinese support signs on the scene, neither side mentioned our young man. You have to work hard and fight for your reputation!"”
He was referring to the fact that neither the star players nor the reporters mentioned Jiang Lin before the game. It was obvious that they thought he was unimportant.
This was a realistic problem. Telling the truth in front of the television might hurt morale, but they probably didn't expect that Jiang Lin's mentality was better than anyone else.
Yu Jia: " Ahem, the starting lineup for the Grizzlies at home is Conley, Tony Allen, Rudy gay, Zach Randolph, and Marc Gasol. Jiang Lin is a substitute.
The starting lineup for the Bulls was Derrick Rose, Luol Deng, Richard Hamilton, Carlos Boozer, and Noah.”
On paper, the Bulls had the advantage. They had Ross, Jordan Rolden, and the all-around guard, Hamilton, who was also one of the Five Tigers of the pistons.
The Grizzlies only had a slight advantage in the paint. Gaga and Randolph were stronger and taller!
The first verse began.
The starting lineup of both teams was as good as paper. The backfield was completely destroyed, and the pace of both sides was not fast. However, Ross and Hamilton's repeated attacks in the paint gave them a lot of opportunities.
After playing for six minutes, Coach Hollings decisively paused after the 14:5 start.
After the pause, Prince, who also came out of the pistons this year, was sent to play against Hamilton, but he replaced the best offensive player, Guy.
This led to an extremely low score of 24:11 at the end of the single quarter.
The fans at the scene were drowsy. They were 13 points behind in the first quarter. Ross went around the pick-and-roll and made a breakthrough inside the lane. The fastest first step was not boasting. When little Gasol changed his defense, he was forced to overtake again and again.
Jiang Lin could see it clearly from the sidelines. Although he did not read the opponent's scouting report, he knew that Noah was very crucial during this period. It could be said that it was one of the peak years of his career. He was too proactive and contributed too much on both offense and defense. He made many wonderful pick-and-rolls for Ross and also grabbed two offensive rebound dunks under the basket.
He could see clearly that although he wanted to go on stage to solve the problem, he had already thought that he could use the pick-and-roll to kill a big center like Noah, but now he could only wait!
It was annoying to watch the team's score get pulled away but not be able to play!
Bulls head coach Thibodeau proudly began to rotate the second lineup. They were both coaches known for their defense, but the difference in offense was too great.
Halfway through the second quarter, the Grizzlies relied on Randolph to continuously attack the basket to open up the situation. The defense also made the other side very uncomfortable. The players in every position were basically fighting together. Luol Deng had not been able to make a move once because Tony Allen had been defending against him.
36：22
The offense was so constipated that it was impossible to watch. Wallace had already covered his eyes on the sidelines. It was not surprising that the fans did not want to watch their game.
Finally, after Tony Allen missed a three-point gap, Hollings could not take it anymore.
When the Grizzlies were 5 minutes and 20 seconds away from the end of the second quarter, Hollings suddenly pointed at Jiang Lin."
"Jiang, you come on to replace Tony Allen. We have two point guards in the backfield!”
"Alright!" Jiang Lin took off his training uniform and immediately walked to the sidelines to wait.
Off the field, the rookie Tony Roten and the others were stunned!
So fast! Should he directly match it with the starting lineup?
Thibodeau looked at the player the Grizzlies wanted to replace and was stunned for a moment. Wasn't this the defender that the mustached man wanted to recommend? I heard that you just got the contract yesterday, and you're playing now?？Aren't you afraid of not being acclimatized?
Therefore, he didn't move. He couldn't be thrown into disarray because of a rookie.
Conley blocked the foul and the dead ball was replaced. Tony Allen handed over to Jiang Lin. Jiang Lin wore a white and blue number 20 jersey and made a backfield gesture to Conley. Then he pointed at the little potato, Bennett, indicating that he would defend.
“OK。”Conley, Little Prince, and the other players on the field were stunned. Wow, is Hollins crazy? Directly let him match up with the main lineup? Did he want them to bring him along? Or…
The Chinese commentators were excited."The second quarter! The second quarter had already begun. Jiang Lin was on stage!! The Grizzly Bear's debut is here!"
On this side, the Bulls guard, Bennett, stopped his three-pointer and was blocked by Jiang Lin. He didn't go in, and Speights grabbed the rebound.
At this moment, Coach Hollings shouted from the sidelines,""Pass the ball to Jiang. Let him organize the attack this time!”
(The most passionate competition is coming, brothers, get excited!)）
