Chamberlain and Cao Nan flirted with each other, and the latter was very interested in the way he greeted NBAI players when they met. Even if he did this at home, Chamberlain could only roll his eyes.

Chamberlain was speechless about his brother-in-law. This child liked basketball very much and had to compete with him when he saw him, but his skills and physical fitness were too bad. Chamberlain once called the Li brothers, and the two took turns to torture him.

Originally, Chamberlain thought that such a blow would make Cao Nan realize the reality and study hard, but this guy seemed to be a masochist, but he became even more excited. Sometimes he would go to San Francisco to play ball with the Li brothers on weekends, and the brothers were speechless.

Cao Nan patted the young man beside him and introduced: "My brother, Jeremy is also a master, do you know?"

Chamberlain looked at the shy and smiling Chinese youth, and suddenly said, "Jeremy? Your Chinese name is Jeremy Lin, right? OK, OK, I know you, haha, Mr. Jocob mentioned you, saying that you are an excellent defender, and that our team may need you."

Jeremy Lin was overjoyed when he heard this and asked, "Really? Can I play NB?"

Looking at Jeremy Lin's expectant eyes, Chamberlain smiled, recalling the information of this young man in his heart, and considering how to reply to him.

Speaking of which, Jeremy Lin and Chamberlain are still half a fellow villager. He was born in Los Angeles, but he also grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area. Unlike Chamberlain's slum family, he grew up in a Christian family in Palo Aldo, and his parents are Chinese businessmen with some achievements in the local area.

Although he was born in a business family, he was very interested in sports since he was a child. He was keen on basketball in middle school and was the main force of their school team. In his fourth-year high school season, he led Palo Alto High School to a record of 32 wins and 1 loss as the captain, and defeated the highest-ranking Virtue High School in the United States 51-47 in the final of the second-tier California Interscholastic League.

At that time, Jeremy Lin was selected into the California first team and won the Northern California Division II Player of the Year title. He averaged 15.1 points, 71 assists, 63 rebounds and 50 steals in his fourth year of high school.

After graduating from high school, Jeremy Lin sent his resume and a basketball highlights DVD recording his high school basketball career to all Ivy League schools, the University of California, Berkeley, and his dream school Stanford University, and the University of California, Los Angeles.

The Pacific Ten League AO-10 school wants Jeremy Lin to become a substitute for the team, rather than actively recruiting him or providing him with a sports scholarship. Harvard and Brown University guarantee Jeremy Lin has a place on the school team, but the Ivy League schools do not offer sports scholarships.”

In July 2005, Bill Holden, then an assistant coach at Harvard University, saw Jeremy Lin, who was 6-foot-3 inches. His physical traits met his needs, and his high school GPA score of 42 points also met Harvard's academic standards.

Later that week, Horton observed more of Jeremy Lin's confrontational games and found that although he was average in physical fitness, he had a high ball quotient and was very motivated. He held the ball to attack the opponent's basket when he had the opportunity, and even dared to launch a suicide attack. This made Horton look at him and took him to Harvard University.

The Lacob that Chamberlain just mentioned is a VIP fan of the Warriors. He has always held the Warriors' home season ticket and also owns a small stake in the Celtics. When the Celtics won the 17th championship in 2007, he also participated in the production of sports websites, and he was also a major player in venture capital in the American Women's Basketball Professional League.

Lacob's hometown is in San Francisco. He loves basketball and wants to own the Warriors. When Richard joined the Warriors, he joined forces with his friend Guber to compete, but unfortunately he failed in the end.

Lacob is a shareholder of the Celtics. The team is in Boston at home, and the most famous institution in Boston is naturally Harvard University. Because of this relationship, the Warriors learned about Jeremy Lin.

The season when Chamberlain first joined the Warriors, Lacob always wanted to convince Nelson to sign Jeremy Lin. Of course, the reason for his ability is second, mainly to open up the team's influence in the Chinese circle in San Francisco.

As a result, with the emergence of Chamberlain, Old Nelson decisively gave up this idea because after research, he believed that Jeremy Lin did not have the ability to play NBAR spoon.

Jeremy Lin didn't know that if Chamberlain didn't show up, Old Nelson had planned to gamble on him, let him participate in the draft last year, and then choose him with a second round pick.

Cao Nan was loyal to help Jeremy Lin say good things: "Brother-in-law, you should know my vision very well. There is absolutely no problem. Jeremy is very outstanding. He is the best guard in the college league I have ever seen. He is the only player in the NCAA first-level league last season to rank among the top 10 players in scoring, rebounding, assists, steals, blocks, shooting percentage, free throw shooting percentage, and three-point shooting percentage. He was selected into the first team of the Ivy League unanimously."

Cao Nan was talking about the real situation. Chamberlain remembered that he had read a scout's introduction to Jeremy Lin, saying that he was very comprehensive in the defender.

But his problem is also in this regard. He is a player who is good at everything and is not good at everything. There are only two kinds of futures of this kind of person. The first is that after entering the NBA, he makes rapid progress like Roy, and becomes the core of a team's ace. The other is that he can't do anything in everything. In this way, he can't even do the board in the team.

At this time, the waiter served the dishes. Chamberlain tasted Sichuan cuisine, ace fish-flavored shredded pork. It was very sweet and not delicious. He shook his head and said, "The taste is not authentic at all. Cao Nan, go to my house for Christmas. Your sister and I will make authentic Chinese food for you. Oh, and Jeremy, you are welcome to go together."

Cao Nan rolled his eyes and said, "You need to say this, sure, where else can I go if I don't go to your place on Christmas? I'm not close to you in the United States."

As he said that, he said to Jeremy Lin: "You don't know, my brother-in-law is not playing basketball, but actually cooking. The dishes he cooks are better than those made by my sister. I guess I used food to catch up with my sister."

Seeing that he had successfully changed the topic, Chamberlain was secretly happy and felt that these dishes were not very difficult to eat. He was really embarrassed to tell Jeremy Lin that the Warriors now have countless talents from the outside, and even a potential killer like Morrow does not have the opportunity to grow, so it is impossible to choose him.

Jeremy Lin was very smart. He obviously understood Chamberlain's intentions, so he forced a smile and said, "No, I have to go home with our parents on Christmas."

Cao Nan is also very smart. He recalled it and understood what Chamberlain meant. He asked unwillingly: "Brother-in-law, can't you bring Jeremy to your team? Last week, he just led our school to beat Boston College. In that game, Jeremy scored 27 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists. You know, the Boston College Hawks are a strong team. They have defeated the top University of North Carolina this season."

After thinking about it, Cao Nan continued, "Jeremy is still a candidate for the John Ya Wooden Award."

But there are 30 candidates in total, Chamberlain added in his heart.

Jeremy Lin took the initiative to change the topic and said, "You played a great game today. This is an amazing victory. You scored 51 points, 22 rebounds, and 8 blocks, right? I just used my mobile phone to surf the Internet, and now many media are reporting on your results. You are the first player in the history of the last 30 years to win 5020 on the Celtics."

Chamberlain was indeed a big shot today. The Warriors only scored more than 100 points, he scored half of them himself, Curry still scored 20 points, West was trapped and fouled, only scored 12 points, and the others joined forces to score 10 points. The role players were really not performing well today.

After hearing this, Chamberlain laughed and said, "We have to have a meal quickly because I'm worried that I will be found by local fans, and they shouldn't let me go."

After chatting for a while, Chamberlain felt that Jeremy Lin was indeed very emotionally keen and his words and behaviors were very reasonable. He estimated that Cao Nan, who Jeremy Lin took the initiative to make friends with, was a celebrity even at Harvard College, where there were countless young talents. Cao Nan was definitely not up to date.

After dinner, Jeremy Lin went to buy it, and Chamberlain paid first. He patted Jeremy Lin on the shoulder and said, "If you participate in the draft, I can't guarantee that our team will choose you, but I can guarantee that if no team signs you, you can follow our team to participate in the summer league tomorrow summer. If you perform well in the summer league, then I can tell you about it."

After hearing this, Jeremy Lin was overjoyed.

Chamberlain continued: "Also, well, you will participate in the Portsmouth Invitational next year, right? I will ask our scouts to pay extra attention to you. Then you ask Cao Nan to tell his sister and promote it in the media. I think you should be able to enter the NBA."

Jeremy Lin asked excitedly: "Is there really a chance?"

Chamberlain smiled and said, "I think it should be fine. At least you have a summer league to show yourself. Come on, man, I hope there can be five Chinese players in the league so that we can form a starting lineup."

Sun Yue has been transferred to the NBDL League by the Lakers, and he probably won't have the chance to return to the Lakers. For the Lakers who are determined to win the championship, his strength can't even be seen by the water machine.

However, the Lakers have also encountered problems recently. On the night of the Warriors' battle with the Celtics, the Lakers defeated the Timberwolves 102 at home. Originally, the protagonist of this game should be the Timberwolves' head coach Cote Lambis, because this is his first return to the Staples Center since leaving the Lakers' coaching staff this summer.

As a result, in this game, Kobe's right index finger was accidentally injured, and his finger was broken, but Kobe did not leave the game. This guy was super strong inside. During the halftime break, he asked the team doctor to fix the splint on his injured index finger.

Under the disturbance of the foam deck, enduring the pain of a fractured index finger, the Black Mamba still scored 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in the game, and did a good job in defense. After the game, the Black Mamba said the words that shocked the league:

"I'm still alive, so I can fight."

In fact, in February 2008, Kobe also fought with injuries due to a finger injury, but the injured part was different. That time it was his little finger. The injured right index finger was indeed the index finger of his right hand. For a player who is not a left-handed, which finger is the most important thing when playing? Of course, the index finger of his right hand.

Not long ago, I suddenly won the Warriors. A reporter interviewed Chamberlain about this matter. He said: "There is no doubt that the Lakers are the biggest threat to our championship this season. They have learned a lot of lessons from the failure of this year's Western Conference Finals | This season, they have a fearful spirit and fighting spirit. The most important thing is that they have Kobe. Any team with Kobe immediately has hope of winning the championship and will immediately become a strong team, because Kobe is the kind of general who can inspire people around him to move forward bravely."

Currently, the Lakers' record is 18 wins and 3 losses, but such a remarkable record is also due to their advantage in the schedule. In the first 21 games, they have 17 home games. After this game, they will start five consecutive away games, including the Utah Jazz. But Kobe was injured at this moment, and the Lakers' future was covered with a layer of haze.
