Nets vs Knicks: Game Time, TV Channel, Score, Jeremy Lin takes on Deron Williams

Extraordinary. Unbelievable. Magical. There are so many words to delineate the rise of Jeremy Lin in the NBA as he continues to bring color to the game.

The new found star Jeremy Lin ignited the New York Knicks for almost three weeks already as he displayed great performances in the nine games he played so far. Even the Dallas Mavericks was succumbed by the chemistry of the Knicks with Lin as the point-guard as he distributed the ball perfectly with 14 assists and he scored 26 points.

After losing the the Hornets Friday, Lin made sure to avoid consecutive losses as a starter of the Knicks. It seemed that the Knicks are having the right buttons being pushed in terms of players acquisition because it is not only Lin who created the the scoring against the Mavs but also the newly acquired J.R. Smith who just returned from China. Smith scored 15 points for the Knicks including a three 3-pointers.

In tonight’s New Jersey Nets vs New York Knicks basketball game, Lin has to meet a premiere point-guard in the NBA named Deron Williams. It will be an interesting matchup as Lin for the first time has to measure his game against a more stable player and probably this will be his litmus test if he can compete against NBA star guard. Lin’s flexibility in the game contributed much to his success as he can take the mid-range jumper, 3-pointer, and also lay-up. His all around game determines his ability to derail opponent’s defense.

One of the biggest questions to be known today is how Carmelo Anthony affects the great chemistry that New York is having in the last eight games. Everybody knows tha Lin is a scorer and that he took much of the numbers of Anthony by averaging 25.0 points a game while Anthony averaged 22 points prior to injury. It is a matter of playing together that is not being unveiled yet for the Knicks. Anthony’s individualism by taking shots without passing can contribute to the fall of the Knicks. However, if these two players can co-exist then there’s not a problem for the Knicks at all.

Lin has provided life for the New York Knicks as they were way below .500 before he emerged from unknown to the most popular NBA player in February. Lin completely filled not only the newspapers around the world but also the internet. His rise from couch to stardom has been so prominent that all kinds of media outlets have given his story space and time about him.

The wave he started in February 4 has already circulated and reached around the world. His cluch shooting tremendously impacted not only the Knicks but also the entire worldwide basketball lovers. From New York to the West, to the East, to the South, and to the North is the popularity of Jeremy Lin. He inspires others to dream bigger as his dream of becoming a star has finally came into realization.

Call it luck but Lin knows that it is hardwork that he plays better than other expects him to play. His jersey has became the best seller in February alone. He catches the attention of many and that he is already a household name. He might have been in thousands and even millions of conversations that he still is very humble to his success.

Lin’s rise might be compared to that of Tim Tebow that Linsanity is created as part of the buzz in the basketball world. Lin continues to surprise the rest of the NBA teams and that he consistently played in the last eight games he started. Furthermore, it is already evident that he can play with the other star of Knicks Amare Stoudemire. They can exist together to in games and that they can compliment for the success of the Knicks.

New Jersey Nets are still in the verge of getting back into winning as they will try to make sure that Brook Lopez can be a help in the lineup. He missed 32 games and that the team started him previously against Milwaukee Bucks but he didn’t bring the team into victory. Williams scored 26 points in that game that he can make the life of Lopez easier by giving him the ball.
