[Guide] In an interview recently, Yao Ming expressed his views on Jeremy Lin being the scapegoat for the Rockets’ losing streak, and also expressed Jeremy Lin and Bev
Leigh’s take on the starter question.
Yao Ming, who has an indissoluble bond with the Rockets, talked about the Rockets and Jeremy Lin in an interview recently, and especially expressed his views on the US media listing Jeremy Lin as the scapegoat for the Rockets’ two-game losing streak.
Yao Ming believed that Jeremy Lin was not the only reason why he was defeated by the Lakers, but the coach was also to blame.
As for Jeremy Lin’s starting lineup, Yao Ming believes that Jeremy Lin’s strength is motivating his teammates, so he can perform well even when he is on the starting lineup or as a substitute.
Reporter: The Rockets lost two games in a row before, and some news media were blamed on Jeremy Lin. So far, I have not understood this question. Can you tell me why this is so?
Yao Ming: Of course it was because of the loss, especially because the Lakers were quasi-lore, so everyone must find a scapegoat, or something.
Because this goal scored the top five, I also watched it. I found that the entire defensive position, I felt that Jeremy Lin did have some problems, but this is a manifestation of normal training.
For example, if Jeff Van Gundy were to coach this round, he would never let his guards make such mistakes. Jeremy Lin’s position can easily be used as a screen by the opponent, but if the coach is proficient in defense,
He’ll tell their defenders ahead of time where you should stand if that happens.
Reporter: In the game against the Raptors, Jeremy Lin scored 31 points. Could it be that Lin Madness has appeared again?
Yao Ming: This is not about whether Linsanity appears, but a manifestation of a tough attitude, because with such a high level of exposure in front of the media, the pressure to win is very high. In NBA teams, no one will lose.
Happy, it’s like doing something wrong, everyone always has a sentence or two, if these few words are limited to a few people among us, then it’s easy to deal with, but the media is everywhere, especially in places like the NBA,
So it is infinitely magnified, so there are many misunderstandings. At this time, victory is the glue that can unite everyone. It is not important to the team who scores how many points, the important thing is to win.
Reporter: You have also been in contact with Jeremy Lin. You also invited Jeremy Lin in your Yao Foundation charity competition. During your contact, how has Jeremy Lin changed?
Yao Ming: I feel that although he grew up in the United States, his family background and education background are actually from a Chinese family, or from an oriental culture.
Culture is deeply ingrained in the subconscious and cannot be changed, so we can all accept what he said to the media.
so.
Reporter: Who do you think is suitable to start, Jeremy Lin or Beverly?
Yao Ming: Let’s put it this way, Jeremy Lin can play well both as a starter and as a substitute, because he can drive his teammates, but Beverly is different. He has a good breakthrough and can’t bring back people around him, but the main force doesn’t need you to drive him.
So Jeremy Lin can have many choices, either the main player or the substitute, but Beverly can only start.
