In the first half of the season, Jeremy Lin’s state fluctuated and he often fell into struggles. However, after the All-Star break, Jeremy Lin regained his proper playing style.

In 2012, Jeremy Lin signed a three-year $25 million contract with the Rockets. Previously, some experts predicted that Jeremy Lin’s new contract annual salary would be around $5 million.
According to multiple sources in the league, the Rockets are very interested in re-signing Jeremy Lin in order to enrich the backcourt, but some insiders in the league believe that Jeremy Lin is more likely to choose a team that can provide him with a starting position.

After the game, Brown admitted that he had tried his best to defend Jeremy Lin, but in the end it didn’t work out very well.
“We tried to double-team Jeremy Lin, but he still found an opportunity to score. We tried to focus on him defensively and let Grant, who is 2 meters 03, guard him, and we worked on it all night.

This summer, Jeremy Lin will become a completely free agent, and the 76ers have a lot of salary space. Now this team has many young players with potential. The joining of Jeremy Lin will obviously benefit the development of these young talents.
