(Brothers, let’s push tickets and dance, I don’t mind having monthly tickets, every support is extremely powerful!)
Jeremy Lin was defeated in the NBA. This news is very bad for many Chinese Americans in the United States, but the news that came out immediately encouraged many Chinese groups who followed him.
Jeremy Lin updated his draft situation on his social networking site Facebook for the first time: "Today, I lost the draft. This is my bad day in Madison, New York. Now I need to take the plane to Las Vegas tonight. , there is a match where I need to play!"
A few words, but Jeremy Lin couldn't hide the hidden joy in Jeremy Lin's heart. Next to this instant news release, there was a team logo of the Minnesota Timberwolves, an unruly wolf head logo, which looked fierce and domineering.
Although it didn't take long for this news to be sent out, it has attracted the attention of many Chinese fans who follow him.
Harvard in the United States is a world-class university. Just these two words represent a different meaning. For many older Chinese, Harvard represents the best university. It's a joy to behold.
Jeremy Lin has attracted a lot of attention among the American Chinese community. Many Chinese elderly may not have heard of Syracuse University, but they must have heard of Harvard and Cambridge. Jeremy Lin, who came out of Harvard to play basketball, is obviously more inspirational in the eyes of many Chinese Americans.
Now, Jeremy Lin posted this personal news, which undoubtedly indicates that he will represent the Minnesota Timberwolves in the summer league after playing, and it seems that there seems to be a trend of hope to reach a signing agreement with the Minnesota Timberwolves.
How can this not make many Chinese fans cheer!
The situation of the Chinese-American group has been brought up in the bills of the U.S. government time and time again, but it has been ignored by whites and blacks. The Chinese-Americans in the United States understand that only the Chinese-American group is strong, and one after another influential Only by those who are able to improve the situation of ethnic Chinese.
The appearance of the first Chinese policeman, the first Chinese congressman, and even the first Chinese governor in the United States, and the appearance of influential figures one after another, have encouraged Chinese Americans.
Now, Jeremy Lin seems to be on the road to the NBA, which is even more expected by the Chinese community!
Soon, the summer league in Las Vegas began, and many rookie players participated in this training game.
For the Timberwolves, the rookies participating in the summer league include Eric Bledsoe, Jeremy Lin and Paul George, while the main players such as Li Shihao and Kevin Love did not play.
The summer league is more about testing the strength of rookies, rather than running the team lineup. At this time, the main players of the team have not yet returned to the team, let alone participate in the summer league.
However, Li Shihao made a special trip to Las Vegas to watch Jeremy Lin's 5 games live, cheering for his little brother!
Both Eric Bledsoe and Paul George performed well. They are both first-round rookies. Although this year is a young draft year, both of them have good strength and serious playing attitude. They are both offensive and defensive players. After 5 games, they all scored good data. It seems that the value of the Timberwolves' two first-round picks was not wasted.
And Jeremy Lin's performance is not bad. He doesn't play much time, averaging 18.6 minutes per game. Under such time, he can score 9.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.2 steals. His offensive efficiency is surprisingly high, and his shooting percentage can rank first in the team.
During Jeremy Lin's playing time, as long as the ball is passed to him, he can quickly find a suitable attacker for it without staying in his hands for too long. In the eyes of the Timberwolves' coaching staff, this performance is undoubtedly The performance of not being greedy for the ball is no longer, and the score is much higher.
It is worth noting that one of the Timberwolves' five summer league games was against the Washington Wizards. This year's No. 5 pick John Wall faced Jeremy Lin in the game. The two scored 21 points and 13 points respectively. , although John Wall had the advantage in scoring in the round, but Jeremy Lin, who did not occupy the ball, defended the champion Lang with 19 of 4 shots. The audience turned into a skilled old blacksmith.
This kind of performance is already qualified, and the Timberwolves' management has already considered what kind of contract to give Jeremy Lin after the game.
It can be said that the Timberwolves have not selected the wrong person so far in this draft. The rookies selected are all good and can bring some substantial help to the team.
However, in the selection of big men in the paint, McHale, who has always been fierce-eyed, also made a mistake.
Hunting geese all day long, there will be a day when geese peck their eyes!
The performance of Hassan Whiteside, who was traded from the Kings in the draft, was extremely disappointing. It should be said that this talented rookie center is not yet ready to play in the NBA. Not only did he perform poorly in the summer league, his The training attitude also disappointed the coaching staff in the forest.
Lateness, alcoholism and other major and minor problems of athletes have taken turns on Hassan Whiteside, and it looks really bad.
McHale has decided to delegate it to the subordinate league NBDL. In his opinion, this year's draft pick can be said to have failed extremely. After being selected, Hassan Whiteside has completely forgotten who he is.
Every year in the league, there are rookie players who can't recognize themselves. Most of these people were eliminated by the league in the end.
Fortunately, McHale is gratified that the other draft picks are still quite worthwhile, especially Paul George, and their performance looks very good!
Finally, after the end of the summer league, several rookies of the Timberwolves signed with the team. Among them, Jeremy Lin signed a 200 million guarantee contract with the team for a period of two years.
In the eyes of the outside world, the Minnesota Timberwolves can be regarded as having spent a lot of money. It is estimated that they tasted the sweetness of the market behind the Chinese kid Li Shihao last year, and now they want to add more fire.
As for Hassan Whiteside, McHale still gave him a one-year contract with the possibility of being cut at any time. As soon as the result came out, Hassan Whiteside was stunned immediately, which undoubtedly gave him A large basin of cold water was poured on him, which woke him up.
Compared with the treatment of the undrafted rookie Jeremy Lin in the team, Hassan Whiteside only felt desolate and miserable.
However, Hassan Whiteside's bad reputation has spread. There is no impenetrable wall in the NBA. Hassan Whiteside's performance in the summer league has given the scouts of many teams a first impression. It is too difficult to change.
Even though Hassan Whiteside's agent tried his best to sell to many teams, no team was willing to offer Hassan a contract. In the end, Hassan reluctantly signed the Timberwolves contract.
