html At noon on the 114th, Guangzhou team defeated Sichuan team 106-98 in the second round of CBA, ushering in the first victory of the new season. But the defender foreign aid Jeremy Lin only got 5 minutes of playing time in this game, which was less than the 13 minutes of the first game. Jeremy Lin's performance in the first two games of the Guangzhou team is very different from what fans expected. Jeremy Lin played for the Shougang team for two seasons. After the end of last season, the Shougang team did not renew his contract. Jeremy Lin joined the Guangzhou team during the offseason. He believes that the Guangzhou team's team system is very suitable for him and hopes to regain himself in the new team. But judging from the first two games of the new season, Jeremy Lin didn't get many opportunities: Guangzhou team lost to Qingdao team 59-80 in the first game, and Jeremy Lin played for 13 minutes, scored 6 points and 0 assists. In the second game, Guangzhou defeated Sichuan team 106-98. Jeremy Lin's playing time dropped to 5 minutes, with only 2 points and 1 assist. The first two games combined were 8 points and 1 assist. So, why did Jeremy Lin show such a situation?
First of all, the Guangzhou team gave the inside new recruit Bell more time in this game on the 14th. This is Bale's first game for Guangzhou team. The team hopes to give him more time to find the game and gradually establish a tacit understanding with his teammates. Bale played for nearly 33 minutes. At the same time, the Guangzhou team currently lacks players in the interior, and needs an inside player who can compete for rebounds and do a good job in defense. Bale's more playing time will inevitably compress the "space" of the other two defenders, foreign players Mason and Jeremy Lin. In this game, Mason has less than 11 minutes of playing time.
Secondly, in this game, Guangzhou team's guard player Chen Yingjun performed well, which allowed Guangzhou team to use more inside and outside players than defending foreign players. Chen Yingjun played 41 minutes in this game and scored 31 points.
Finally, Jeremy Lin has not yet gained the upper hand in the on-field time competition with Mason. Mason has played for the Guangzhou team last season. His understanding of the team system and the "chemical reaction" with his teammates are better than Jeremy Lin.
The two games cannot fully indicate that Jeremy Lin is not trusted or has fewer opportunities in the Guangzhou team. If you want to get more playing time, Jeremy Lin must show up in a better state and increase the confidence of the coaching staff in him; on the other hand, you can win more opportunities through defense.
