Former NBA star Jeremy Lin surrendered his fourth career “big triple” on the 26th, becoming the first player in the history of PLG to win a triple triple in a single game. He also led the New Taipei Kings to defeat the former club Kaohsiung Steel. He kept the team undefeated at the start of the season, and after the game he gave away his signed sneakers and jersey as usual. This time, the person who got the jersey was a very special fan, an 86-year-old man who accompanied his grandson for the first time. The grandma who entered the stadium to watch the game received warm applause from the fans for her heartwarming gesture. Jeremy Lin later wrote on social media, “The beauty of sports competitions is that athletes and the audience can sometimes inspire each other.”
Jeremy Lin faced the familiar Steelers in his previous game. Although he only scored 4 points on 1-of-7 shooting in the first half, he regained his sights in the second half and finally delivered a “big triple” of 15 points, 11 assists, and 10 rebounds. This was the first time this season. , PLG accumulated 4 times and became the first player in the league. He also led the team to defeat the opponent 109:93 and started the season with 5 consecutive victories, becoming the only undefeated team in PLG.
During the interview, Jeremy Lin said that he could try many different roles in the Kings, and the coach also asked him to play simpler, so he could deliver good results today. “The Iron Man defended me very quickly and kept reducing my space. , so I know why the coach keeps telling me to play simpler, it’s because I have many great players around me and I can distribute the ball to them.”
Jeremy Lin said at the franchise press conference in February this year that in order to express his gratitude to the fans, he said that he wanted to “reconnect” with the fans when he returned to Taiwan, whether it was in every subsequent home or away game. Regardless of winning or losing, Jeremy Lin will give signed shoes and signed jerseys to the fans he chooses after the game.
Yesterday, during the game against the Steelers, an enthusiastic fan brought his grandma to the field to watch the game. He held up a sign on the sidelines and wrote, “Grandma is 86 years old. This is her first time to watch the game. For Shuhao, Shuwei.” Successfully attracted Jeremy Lin’s attention. After the game, he personally presented a signed jersey and ran to the sidelines to greet his grandma. Thunderous cheers and applause erupted from the scene. Later, Jeremy Lin also uploaded a photo of giving a jersey to his grandma on his IG, and wrote emotionally, “The beauty of sports competitions is that athletes and audiences can sometimes inspire each other.”
After moving to the Kings, he faced his former team for the first time. Jeremy Lin admitted that because the Steelers were all friends, he really had a lot of emotions. He also revealed that he would watch every Steelers game online, “I hope they win, I hope they win.” I can express myself.”
