The First Appearance
It could be seen that he was especially hardworking in this life. He even admired himself a little.
An Asian, a guard, could play in the NBA? No one would believe him at all. Even the domestic fans did not support him. They thought that the Los Angeles Clippers signed him because they wanted to take advantage of him. Therefore, the domestic mainstream media did not report much about it. It was even worse than Sun Yue's time.
Otherwise, why didn't they choose in the draft and give 10-day contracts to non-local players to get rid of beggars?
Jiang Lin absolutely could not tolerate this!
But it had to be said that it was because of this persistence that he could stand on the NBA stage now. This might be his last chance, and he had to seize it.
Every shot he made in this game affected his future in the NBA. The scouts were all watching!
However, he now had the most awesome ability of the six streetball legends, so it was impossible for him to follow the rules.
If he really played according to D'Antoni's instructions, he would probably lose his job in the United States tomorrow. After all, the Los Angeles Clippers were not like other teams. Everyone knew Kobe's character. Would he be able to pass the ball and assist a guard?
Who would want a player who only knew how to pass the ball and dribble past half the court??
If he really wanted to gain a foothold, Jiang Lin had to show himself.
In his previous life, he was a street basketball player. He had never played professional basketball before. He had always played in open-air basketball courts and various 3v3 and 1v1 events. He was called the " Descender " by the street basketball community and was considered a well-known street player in the local area. Therefore, he knew what the six street basketball stars in this big gift bag meant. If he guessed correctly, he now had the world's top dribbling skills!
Just thinking about it made him excited!
These few players were super street players who could show off NBA players, the kind that could cause turbulence!
Streetball wasn't impossible, but players were born with too many shortcomings in all aspects, such as height and weight. These would cause street players to lag behind in professional games. Even players like Iverson, Crawford, and Alston, who entered the NBA, looked thin and were at a disadvantage.
However, Jiang Lin was different. He was only 20 years old and came from a major. His body was strong and needed to be developed. He was also familiar with the full-court tactics of the academic school. His foundation was higher than most street players.
The world's top dribbling skills had already been given to Jiang Lin. Next, it would depend on Jiang Lin's own efforts.
He wanted to play 1v1 with his opponent like crazy. It was not an exaggeration to say that he had at least 100 ways to solo the defenders without breaking the rules!
Show off, I want to show off!
Then, what was the most important thing for a street player??
Ball!
Only when the ball was in his hands could he make a move!
Therefore, he had to get the ball! Moreover, it would not be spread out!
Then, he would try to see if he could score a single! It would be best if he could score a single goal like Tian Xiu's opponent!
As a street player, how could a clean score be considered a goal?
Anyway, if I make a mistake, I'll be cut. If I don't make a mistake, I'll be cut. Then I might as well give it a try!
Jiang Lin thought as he tried to cut off Battier's catch. After Battier received the ball, he made three threats against Jiang Lin's defense. He hung it high to Anderson, who was covered in tattoos. Anderson turned into the paint and made a backhand layup!
34:51
The Staples Center was silent.
The Laker fans were all obsessed with competing with the Heat in the finals this season, but now it looked like they were going to play in the first half...
The second period ended in 2 minutes and 1 seconds.
The problem was simple. Jiang Lin was an onlooker. Kobe was too unique. Since the 11th season, Kobe's solo efficiency had been declining year by year. This season, his 46% field goal percentage and 32.4% three-point percentage were the lowest in his career. This was obviously not the data that a star player should play.
An average of 27 points per game, but he had to shoot more than 20 shots per game?
As a result, the hands of the other players in the Laker team were cold. If they played too much, they would lose their morale.
But it didn't matter. He was Kobe, and that was enough.
Odom served the ball to Jiang Lin, who dribbled the ball forward and deliberately slowed down. Chalmers directly waited for Jiang Lin in the middle of the court.
Jiang Lin was looking for a sense of the ball. He crossed his hands and dribbled. He moved his crotch and back a little. Finally, he even dribbled with a roc spreading its wings.
The feeling of being one with the players was wonderful.
However, in the eyes of others, this was just posturing.
The Chinese fans on the sidelines broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that this temporary worker did not want to work anymore? Why was he so happy when he was lagging behind? That roc spreading its wings and dribbling was not something that ordinary people could do.
For example, Odom, who had served the ball to him, shouted from the side,""Hey, kid, stop showing off. Can't you see that you're so far behind?”
Jiang Lin was expressionless as he retorted,"I didn't cause it."
Odom's anger surged and he glared at him fiercely.""You'll get lost tomorrow. What are you pretending for?”
Indeed, this trailing score was caused by their main players, but was a fringe player not afraid of being beaten up??Moreover, if the main player had a good relationship with the short-term contract player, it was enough for the team to consider the extension of the contract.
It seemed that Jiang had not gone crazy. He was ready to suggest that the coach replace him in the next round.
The funniest thing was that Mario Chalmers, who was defending against Jiang Lin, also became interested after seeing Jiang Lin dribble and show off. He posted up and said,
"Newbie, come, let's see if you can still be lucky.”
He directly chose the toughest way to stick close to the defense. If this was an ordinary player, he would have directly forced the ball to stop.
However, what stunned him for a moment was Jiang Lin's smooth half-turn dribble to create half a step of space. Before Kobe could come out to ask for the ball, he dribbled from behind and changed direction in front of the body. He directly turned around next to Chalmers 'body. Chalmers was like a wooden stake, unable to move on the spot!
It was as smooth as silk!
Fast, accurate, and ruthless!
Then, Jiang Lin, who had occupied the position, dribbled the ball and rushed into the paint. The moment Anderson rushed over to defend, he threw him into the air without looking at him. Jordan Hill, who was unguarded under the basket, rose up and completed the empty dunk!!
Wonderful assist!
Streetball Professor's signature back-turn Crawford-style back-dribble rhythm, this rookie was something!!!
