After the trade was completed, Walken Dean considered Iverson.

But Iverson's injury has not healed yet, and it is not sure whether Iverson has changed his mind and is willing to accept a substitute role.

So they set their sights on the subsequent trade deadline, when more players will be put on the shelf.

You must know that if Petro stays, it is a bargaining chip worth 4 million.

Now, their strategy is to give Gaines some opportunities while scratching the lottery tickets he can.

Now what they bring along with Joe Johnson is a lottery ticket that was just waived by the Rockets.

Jeremy Lin.

The same surname as Lin Ying.

Yes, at this point in history, Jeremy Lin was drafted by the Knicks, and then the period of Lin's madness began.

But now the Knicks' Big Three obviously don't have room for him to perform anything crazy.

And one thing is that the reason why Lin Crazy was able to play well in the first place had a lot to do with D'Antoni.

In the words of fans, the record of the team led by D'Antoni may be good or bad, but the statistics of the core defenders are definitely the same.

Walken Dean pointed the two of them in the direction of the closet.

Johnson is using the same wardrobe that Humphries used before, and a new name tag has been put up, right next to Deron's.

The one used by Jeremy Lin is the one used by Morrow before. In the corner of the locker room, there is no name tag.

A small detail illustrates the status of the two people in the locker room.

Moreover, Jeremy Lin, an undrafted player, signed a non-guaranteed contract. Not to mention how long he will stay on the team, it is still unknown whether he will be able to play in the NBA.

However, Jeremy Lin has a very good personality and takes the initiative to greet his teammates. Although many people just respond in a passive manner, his face is also full of smiles.

When he arrived at Lin Ying's side, his mood seemed even more nervous and excited.

He took Lin Ying's jerseys from the bag, including those from the Nets era, the Suns era, the Nuggets era, and even the University of Texas.

It should be mentioned here that after Lin Ying was traded to the Nets, he returned to the No. 1 jersey he wore when he first entered the league.

This is one of the reasons why the previous 35 seconds and 14 minutes was so sensational. One number 1 broke the record of another number 1.

"I'm a die-hard fan of yours. The walls of my dormitory are covered with your posters."

Jeremy Lin said while turning over his jersey, his tone was the same as his appearance, nervous and excited.

This is also reasonable.

Although Jeremy Lin and Lin Ying are the same age, they both entered the NCAA in 2006.

But Lin Ying entered the NBA after playing one year in college, while Jeremy Lin went undrafted after four years in college.

With the same skin color, the same college class, and not to mention the same last name, it is difficult not to make Lin Ying the idol of Jeremy Lin.

Lin Ying was a little surprised. He rarely took the initiative to pay attention to players he had not interacted with before.

But his attitude towards fans has always been very good.

Especially Jeremy Lin's behavior reminded him of the fan who went to see Rose wearing all of Rose's jerseys.

So now I turned around and asked Deron for a signature pen, and signed his name on all those jerseys.

After the signing was completed, he hugged Jeremy Lin and said "Come on."

If Jeremy Lin plays Lin Crazy in New Jersey, he won't show it, but Jeremy Lin actually has the ability and will be a very good reinforcement for the Nets.

The Nets have one more game before the Christmas Day game, against the Celtics at home.

After having an easy schedule at the beginning of the season, the following period will be a big test for them.

The game is tonight.

The Prudential Center was fully occupied on this day.

Although they complain on their lips, the fans are very honest!

Joe Johnson made his debut with the Nets, how could you miss this kind of thing!

Swift also came to the scene again. Today she was dressed a little sexy, wearing stockings, shorts, and a khaki windbreaker.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is that she brought popcorn today!

During the warm-up before the game, the camera kept showing the newly joined Joe Johnson.

In history, Johnson also joined the Nets to play, but what is different from history is that he did not change his number to No. 7, it was still No. 2.

In addition, Delong wears No. 8 and Chandler wears No. 6. The destination of these four diamonds is 2186, which is a bit like Akina Yamazaki.

Yi Jianlian: Meow meow?

6 and 9 cannot appear together.

After the warm-up match, the opening ceremony began.

Johnson's appearance received loud cheers from the audience.

Trading is a thing of the past, Johnson is now a member of the Nets!

After the opening ceremony, both sides came out one after another.

Celtics: Rondo, Ray Allen, Pierce, Garnett, O'Neal

Nets: Deron, Joe Johnson, Lin Ying, Yi Jianlian, Chandler

After the trade, another point of concern for Nets fans is how the team will arrange the lineup.

Now the results are out. By replacing Butler with Johnson, the Nets chose the most stable option.

The game started quickly. Although the Celtics were older on average, they had rich experience and a high degree of tacit understanding.

Moreover, Rivers' strategy tonight is also very targeted. The focus of defense is on Deron and Lin Ying, while the others are in a semi-released state.

So after the game started, Johnson, the new player, directly became the finishing point on the court for the Nets.

Then, I don’t know if it was because I was not used to it, or because I still hadn’t adjusted from the state of the previous game, so I played three irons in a row at the beginning.

This kind of performance also made the fans at the scene a bit unbearable to watch.

After the first quarter, the Nets trailed the Celtics by 8 points, 17-25.

Johnson made 1 of 5, and his only goal was also his only highlight. He beat Ray Allen and scored a jump shot.

During the break, Johnson seemed a little depressed.

Abandoned by the Hawks and called trash because of his contract, he was also under tremendous pressure when he arrived with the Nets.

Originally, the Nets' plan was to have Johnson lead the backup transition.

But this kind of performance obviously did not meet the requirements of the coaching staff.

So at the beginning of the second quarter, when Johnson was supposed to be leading the team, Lin Ying was leading the team.

Because of the older average age, it is difficult for the Celtics to choose who among the Big Three to lead the team as before. In fact, it is Rondo who plays the most playing time now.

Rondo is also leading the team at this moment.

Rondo was Lin Ying's opponent. Lin Ying's dominant performance on both offense and defense soon led the Nets to counterattack and tied the score.

The most classic goal, Lin Ying's defensive end directly read Rondo's iconic behind-the-back fake, and gave a solid top block. Then during the fast break, he received a pass from Gaines and staged an empty pass.

Receive a gliding dunk.

This ball stunned Joe Johnson.

The perspective and feeling of being a teammate is very different from that of being an opponent!

"See? That's our Michael Jordan."

Delong said with blurred eyes.

His former self: I want to compete with Lin Ying for the top spot, and I want to prove myself.

He is now: Emperor Lin is mighty and the boss is awesome!

When you are impressed by a person's leadership and overwhelming dominance on the field, that's probably what happens.

Joe Johnson looked at Deron blankly.

He knew that Lin Ying was the boss of the Nets, but Deron's almost admiration still surprised him.

Deron is also a famous star in the league for a long time!

But one thing must be admitted, Lin Ying is indeed very strong.

The Celtics called a timeout, and the Nets also made substitution adjustments during the timeout.

Lin Ying came off the court to take a break, and Deron came on to play a lead.

It was at this time that Lin Ying took the initiative to sit next to Joe Johnson.

"In the third or fourth quarter, I will suggest the coach to let you come up and lead him."

The first words he spoke surprised Joe Johnson.
