    He doesn't need to lay it up in the final sequence, I recommend him dunking the ball.. Then again it's much much safer to get a lay up in because what if he misses the dunk???

    or he could just do a midrange shoot, his most efficient weapon :), the initial shot really scares me

    Ah, the memories:

    Who said the rockets does not have the depth ------ to watch the Los Angeles rockets war feelings

    The rockets and before the lake person's competition three, a rockets hits the score backwardness to finish, the most high score difference reaches. /22

    The fourth section 7 minute 45 seconds, JVG unexpectedly dispatches the backless stool to request reinforcements is taken to the threshing ground, takes the post of the anticipation is the rockets substitution by 22; 1 attack high tide pursues the score 94; 92, if not for three-time serves has not entered, the rockets will realize counter- ultra-Lucas three in the short 17 minute time, the height which seven does not arrive by his 1 meter 6 throws in 5, three minute 2 center 1, penalty kick 2 center 2, 5 blue pull the high efficiency which, 2 secondary attack, 1 strongly breaks to have lasting achievements, moreover Hyde's three minute balls in 84, also play in the critical moment the stable morale of troops role.

    Although competes finally comes to an end by the rockets defeat. But we are not difficult to see the rockets all officers and men to put together the vigor, as well as player's the and so on Lucas high efficiency, my volume applauds for Lucas, too has been good, small fellow,15! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

    sorry my english is poor. maybe have many mistake.

    Lin should be able to win this. His shooting off dribble, passing and speed serve him well.

    This event is definitely tailor made for Lin.

    1.His quick first step (10mph/sec) is on par with John Wall

    2. For the long 2PT jumper, it's easy. He just needs to step back to hit 3PT shot with his foot on the line. :grin:
    Check this Shot Chart from just inside the top of the key

    3. Finally, Lin's Superior Lintellect will make those bounce passes look elementary:

    And wait, it's for charity? He'll put on a show for a good cause :cool:

    this thread is so telling about the Houston fanbase... one of your own gets selected to participate in ASW, and half the people came here to **** on him.

    Agreed. The 10-20 people posting in this thread is a pretty accurate barometer of the fan base as a whole.
