On April 2, the 2021-2022 CBA playoffs scored 8 in 12, and the Royal Foresters coached by Christopoulos Yannis were killed, losing 102:104 to Gilling, and the series of three games and 2 wins started unfavorably.
In this battle, Jeremy Lin ushered in the opening stage of the first and second halves, the game was extremely efficient 10 of 13, with 23 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals, but he could not resist the most bizarre last 40 seconds -
Jeremy Lin stole Dominique Jones, the two sides fought 102:102, just about to organize the offensive coach but suddenly called a timeout, and then, Jeremy Lin was replaced, Jonathan Gibson replaced, as a result, Gibson failed to hit 2 shots, but was crushed by the opponent.
For a time, how Jeremy Lin used it has once again become a hot topic of discussion...

The regular season, Jeremy Lin played in 2 stages of the game, during which the ups and downs may be the reason why he was not trusted by Yannis at key moments.
In the second stage, Jeremy Lin played 15 games, averaging 14.3 points per game, shooting only 40.0% of the two-point shooting rate and averaging only 3.2 free throws per game, which is 7.7 during his first time with Beijing.
At this stage, he even did not get free throws in 3 games, 2 against Zhejiang Lions and 1 against Shanxi Raptors; at the same time, 2 games in this stage did not get playing time in the last quarter.
This is very rare in its CBA career.
In most of the 2019-2020 season, the last 4 to 5 minutes basically belong to Jeremy Lin, and the team hopes that he will control the pace of the game at key moments.
By this season, things have changed a lot.
Jeremy Lin played a total of 8 games in the 3rd stage, and arranged for him to take a break with the Beijing Forbidden Warriors and Shandong's second-game team.
In these 8 games, Jeremy Lin still performed ups and downs.
Among them, the first game of the third stage was against Xinjiang, Jeremy Lin played a total of 19 minutes to score 12 points, two-point shots a total of 8 shots 5, but three-point shots 4 shots were all deflected, and there were 3 free throw opportunities.
Although Jeremy Lin did not feel good on the outside in this game, he scored tough points several times by breaking through the inside line, showing his confidence and aggressiveness about his physical condition; this game was also Jeremy Lin's best performance in the early stage 3.
After that, Jeremy Lin's performance in Stage 3 was still very ups and downs, even bigger.
The first meeting with Guangzhou played 18 minutes and scored 11 points, with an overall shooting percentage that was acceptable;
The first meeting of the same city battle scored 7 points in 16 minutes, and the feeling on the offensive end gradually declined;
The time to play in the first meeting with Shandong was compressed to 5 minutes, and no points were scored;
The second-time match against Guangzhou returned to 16 minutes, but only 4 points were counted: 1 of 5 from two-pointers, 0 of 4 from three-pointers, and three free throws;
After the battle of the same city, the rotation is suspended.
Jeremy Lin averaged just 6.8 points in his first five games in Stage 3.
After this break, Jeremy Lin played 3 more games, including 24 points and 21 points against Ningbo, and the other 1 was a second game against Xinjiang, he played a total of 15 minutes and scored 15 points.
Objectively speaking, the overall performance of Jeremy Lin in these 3 rounds is very good, but it does not fully indicate that his state has rebounded significantly - after all, Ningbo's overall strength is weak, and the quality and intensity of the defensive end are not high; in hindsight, Xinjiang is not a playoff team.
Some more intuitive data and analysis can see the current state of Jeremy Lin and his position in the foreign aid ranking.
The following 2 pictures can more intuitively understand the relevant content in this regard -
Now, here's the problem —
What exactly is the correct way to open the playoffs, Jeremy Lin?
If the 12-in-8 series Jeremy Selin still leads the first team from recent training, Justin Hamilton will lead the second team.
Since the jilin interior line is quite weak, Beijing is bound to take advantage of this opportunity to make a big fuss, so the role of the big han is even more important - in recent training, the big han has also been in the second team.
Beijing will report 3 foreign aides in every game, and now Jeremy Lin and Hamilton occupy 2 positions, and the remaining 1 place is in the world of Gibson and Barry Brown;
In this regard, Gibson clearly has more trust from the coaching staff than Brown.
Although Jeremy Lin's physical ability and game status are declining, he still has a court role that other foreign players do not have, the most typical of which is that Jeremy Lin can significantly increase the offensive participation of his teammates in the presence, and this is the type of foreign aid that Yannis likes to build team basketball.
Gibson and Brown were also placed in this position by the coaching staff in the regular season stage, but their similar role was significantly inferior to Jeremy Lin.
Although Gibson and Brown have different styles and characteristics, their functions are similar - both are offensive players who play a heavy role in attack, and there is a strong overlap.
In contrast, Jeremy Lin is a different type of foreign defender, with different roles and values, and at the same time, his role in the defensive end for Beijing is also more than theirs.
The following data graph can intuitively reflect this aspect of the content -
For Beijing, the real test should not have been the series with Jilin, but the showdown with the Zhejiang Lions in the quarterfinals, but a slightly unexpected unfavorable exit, so that the problem of the coaching team's use of Jeremy Lin surfaced in advance...
Losing to Jilin does not mean that Beijing is forced into a desperate situation, for the following reasons:
First, this game was won by pulling all the energy in all aspects, even including Jones's shooting rate of 56% outside the three-point line - only 27% in the season;
The state of the Entire Gilling team, including Jones, cannot last forever, and once the three-point shooting rate is down, his threat will be greatly reduced.
Second, Jilin once again used the overdraft mode for this ball, the whole team only had 7 people rotated, of which Jones, Jiang Weize, Jiang Yuxing played 40+ times, of which Jones played nearly 46 minutes, this model may play a role in a game, but it is impossible to last, and there is a small probability that it will affect the second game.
Third, Beijing has always been able to bounce back more strongly the more adversity it encounters, and they will do the same in this series, but only if they play their own rhythm and make the most of their advantages.
