Chapter 188 Time rushes
After the start of February, Gasol returned.

However, the 76ers' record began to show a downward trend, losing to the Bulls, Spurs, and even the Hornets managed by the league.

In the record rankings, the Bulls in the East came from behind, surpassing the Heat and the 76ers one after another, and ranked first in the league.

It's just that at this time, Rose, the core of the Bulls team, injured his knee in a recent game. According to a reporter from the Chicago Sentinel, Rose is likely to be absent for one to two months. When the schedule is very dense, it has a huge impact on the Bulls' record.

Rose became the first superstar to be injured under the intensive schedule. The Bulls were overused, the schedule was exhausted and so on.

This immediately sounded the alarm for Collins. At present, Tang Wenlong has played the most playing time for the 76ers, averaging 36.7 minutes per game, which is also a new high in Tang Wenlong's career. After this game, what Collins is thinking about is to appropriately reduce Tang Wenlong's playing time , The regular season has not been done for real, and the physical reserves of the shrinking season are more important.

On February 2th, when the Knicks played against the New Jersey Nets, the Chinese point guard Jeremy Lin came off the bench and scored 4 points, 25 rebounds and 5 assists, leading the Knicks, who were about to fall to the tenth position, to a 7-99 victory over the Nets !The next day, Anthony was absent due to injury, and Stoudemire attended the funeral of his brother's death. D'Antoni, who was in a desperate situation, boldly put Jeremy Lin in the starting position, scored 92 points and 28 assists against the Jazz, and won the final victory!
The entire league has not noticed this sudden rookie, but Knicks fans themselves are not calm. Jeremy Lin's two games are like a spring breeze, blowing the gloom in the hearts of New York fans.

In the third game, Jeremy Lin faced Wall, scored 23 points and 10 assists, led the Knicks to a three-game winning streak, and instantly detonated the entire Madison!
"This is the arrival of Linsanity, it's crazy!" Netizens and fans spread rumors, so Linsanity's name instantly rose on the East Coast.

A reporter approached Tang Wenlong and asked his opinion.Because Tang Wenlong knew Jeremy Lin, the two also had a brief contact.

"He's good, he's quick, he works hard, and he's always been very sharp in the pick-and-roll. I think the Knicks have found a very good point guard."

This is an inspirational story. Tang Wenlong's outburst seems to tell the story of every underappreciated young man in the league, and the strong exposure of the New York market has quickly raised this matter to an event that the entire league pays attention to. The draft, being waived, a ten-day short contract, sleeping on the sofa, and finally breaking out, how many stories can be found in it?

In the fourth game, the Lakers challenged the Knicks away. Before the game, the media interviewed Kobe. Will there be a special defense against Jeremy Lin?

Kobe immediately replied, "Who is Jeremy Lin? I don't know him."

His words are telling the truth. The Lakers were swept by the Mavericks last season. Phil Jackson became the scapegoat for the Lakers.

Mike Brown is a coach who likes to emphasize defense. He believes that the biggest problem the Lakers lost to the Mavericks last season was defense.So this season he asked the Lakers players to slow down the offensive rhythm and try to drag the game into a positional offense. As a result, the Lakers averaged 97.3 points per game this season, and their opponents averaged 95.9 points per game.

Compared with last season, the opponent only scored 95.4 points, and the Lakers averaged 101.5 points per game last season.The shortened point difference will lead to the decision of the outcome of multiple games in the last 3 minutes, so Kobe's average playing time of less than 34 minutes per game last season has suddenly increased to 38.7 minutes so far this season.

With Kobe playing like this, so far this season, the Lakers are no more than the fourth seed in the West, ahead of the magical Spurs, the young Thunder, and the rising Clippers.

Seeing the rise of rivals in the same city in Los Angeles, Kobe was upset. Apart from training and games, how could he pay attention to a player who had only played three good games?

As a result, Jeremy Lin shined brilliantly in this game, scoring 38 points and 7 assists in the game. After he had no physical strength in the last quarter, he turned around forcibly against the old fish Fisher and avoided Bynum's blocked layup, which became a classic. !As for Kobe, he only scored 34 points in the game, not even as good as Jeremy Lin!

So after this game, Jeremy Lin became completely angry, stepping on Kobe's shoulder and getting angry.

Sports Illustrated even used the photo of Jeremy Lin roaring in the No. 17 jersey as the cover of the new issue. Everywhere he went, he was discussing this amazing Chinese, like an unfathomable dream. Everyone was amazed, Lin crazy!
As far as the eye can see and the lights are gathered, Stern did not expect that there would be another yellow-skinned athlete rising today when Tang Wenlong has risen, and compared to the talented Tang Wenlong, Jeremy Lin's story seems to be more interesting. Inspirational, and it is easier to publicize the dream named NBA.

Jeremy Lin defeated the Timberwolves and became the best of the week in the Eastern Conference!The first four games in his career are comparable to a certain star. On Valentine's Day on February 2, the Knicks led by Jeremy Lin fought the Raptors until the last second, and made a three-pointer almost at the buzzer, which once again detonated the New York market.

The market value of the New York Knicks has changed dramatically, and his jerseys are sold out.Even the great director Spike Lee has become a fan of Jeremy Lin.

Thank goodness for D'Antoni, breaking the can and breaking the can still have such an effect. After an inexplicable seven-game winning streak, the Knicks have returned to the ranks of the playoff teams.

At this time, the record of the 76ers tended to be stable, one game higher than the Heat and one game lower than the Bulls.

Time is running out, and the game in February will soon be uneventful. Tang Wenlong has not played as long as last month. The number of shots has also decreased, and his average points per game have dropped slightly.

Before the All-Star Game, the 76ers led by Tang Wenlong defeated the Bulls without Rose. In this focus game, Tang Wenlong scored 27 points on 18 of 11 shots, 8 of 12 three-pointers and 56 free throws. With 7 rebounds and 9 assists, the Bulls without Rose are still very good. When the two teams played in the last minute, Tang Wenlong hit a key three-pointer before the 1ers gradually took the initiative on the court.

This is a new career scoring record for Tang Wenlong in a single game. Last month against the Kings, Tang Wenlong scored 54 points in three quarters.

So just after this game, Tang Wenlong's scoring average soared a lot, and the 76ers overtook the Bulls and became the No. [-] in the Eastern Conference, which was half a game behind the Spurs in the entire league.

The league enters the All-Star weekend, the respective stars selected by the East and West, shooting stars, skills, participants in the three-point and dunk contests, players selected for the first-year and second-year rookie challenges, and various sports media around the world Many reporters flew to Orlando to participate in this year's All-Star Weekend.
