Jeremy Lin Stuffs The Sheet As Beijing Ducks Bow To Jilin Northeast Tigers

Jeremy Lin continues to live up to expectations in the Chinese Basketball Association after he put up efficient numbers again during the Beijing Ducks’ lopsided loss to the Jilin Northeast Tigers at the Changchun Gymnasium on Sunday, 104-86.

The former NBA sensation did a little bit of everything with 22 points, six dimes, five steals and four rebounds in 37 minutes which all went for naught as the Ducks suffered their second loss in a row and third overall in nine games.

The Harvard-produced baller made five out of his nine field-goal attempts and buried all but one of his 12 freebies from the 15 ft. line, although he also committed four turnovers.

Justin Hamilton top-scored the Ducks with 24 markers. He also grabbed 14 boards, good for a double-double outing. Eli Holman, meanwhile, anchored the winning Northeast Tigers with 27 points and 16 rebounds. Jilin and Beijing are now tied with a 6-3 record and are just two games behind league-leading Guangdong Southern Tigers who hold a 9-1 tally.

The stellar showing from Jeremy Lin came just two nights after he mustered 29 points on eight out of 17 field goal shooting, six rebounds, five assists and four steals in the Beijing Ducks’ 109-91 loss to Lance Stephenson and the Liaoning Flying Leopards, who also feature former Boston Celtic Brandon Bass.

The said loss exhibited Jeremy Lin’s lack of offensive support from his teammates as only two other players from the Ducks camp contributed double digits in scoring.

The 6’3 California-born Lin is averaging 24.8 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.8 assists on 24.0 efficiency so far in his stint with the Ducks in the CBA.

The Beijing Ducks will try to get back to the winning track on Tuesday when they face the Beijing Royal Fighters whom Lin and company have beaten last Wednesday, 87-79.
