Try harder, shoot more, score more - practical advice from Jeremy Lin's grandmother after Brooklyn Nets suffered three straight losses in the 2016-17 NBA preseason.
These words seem practical and simple if only as easy as answering the question how. Jeremy Lin not only signed a multi million-dollar megadeal with Brooklyn Nets but signed a death warrant as well if he can't deliver what the squad expects from him. On the side note, Lin led the Oct 6 assault against Detroit Pistons with 21 points. His next show came 5 days after against Miami Heat when he racked 16 points but Nets lost in a 21-point deficit.
Jeremy Lin shifted another gear for Brooklyn Nets and turned into unselfish assist specialist against Boston Celtics last Thursday, Oct 13. The Nets are clearly trying to scrub the surface for additional scoring threat and Lin is their prospect. Together with Trevor Booker who according to NBA.com is showing consistent performance defending the rim. Still, something is clearly amiss.
However, the team is doing fine defensively if looking into the sharp vision of Brooklyn Nets head coach Kenny Atkinson. He cites the need for improvement and it is logical that the next step should be towards offense. Nets made clear that Jeremy Lin can't be measured with 4 outings alone because everybody in the squad is still supportive of their new leader.
If Jeremy Lin reemerge into the same Linsanity he showed during his early career, shooting guard Randy Foye believes the regular season is going to be a shocker. Make no mistake about it, there is potential behind Brooklyn Nets. Atkinson believes that what could be done should focus mostly on communications where players can act on the same page, Nets Daily said.
The latter theory makes sense because Brooklyn Nets is a rebuilding team. Some key players including Jeremy Lin are recent acquisitions and need to work on better teamwork. Even long timer Brook Lopez admits that new faces mean hold up in establishing a system. However, he is also confident that everybody can manage and learn on the fly.
