NYTimes wrote:When Sellers was an assistant at Connecticut, he had tried to teach the same concept to Kemba Walker, then a sophomore and still too fast for his own good. Then, on an early December afternoon in 2009, Sellers saw the pick-and-roll run to perfection, again and again, by a relatively unknown Harvard guard named Jeremy Lin.
Sellers marveled at how Lin, Harvard’s senior point guard, ignored the Huskies’ pressure and controlled the pace of the game by controlling his own speed. It was a trait, Sellers said, he wanted for Walker and one that had been mastered by Chris Paul and Steve Nash.--------------
Connecticut’s best lockdown defender, the athletic senior Jerome Dyson, was assigned to pressure Lin and deny him the ball. But Dyson underestimated him. By the end of the game, Lin had 30 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals, and helped keep Harvard close during a 79-73 loss to the 13th-ranked Huskies.
Lin drove. He dished. He even dunked — twice.
“Get up on him close, because he’s got a great jump shot, but then, if you get up on him too close, he’s going to go by you,” Stanley Robinson, a forward for that UConn team, said he remembered about defending Lin. He added, “He just couldn’t be contained, that’s all.”
Lin’s instincts and seasoned patience were best suited for the pick-and-roll. With 10 seconds left on the shot clock, Lin would routinely call for a screen. He would then pace himself while evaluating the situation, and rarely would he choose the wrong napping defender to pick on.
“He just somehow sneaks in between the two defenders, splits it, and it’s a four-on-three game,” said Pat Magnarelli, a reserve forward who lived with Lin for three years at Harvard and who often set those screens for Lin. He added, “Once he gets past the screener and he has a step, it’s basically over.”
Sellers said: “He lets the defense make their mistake, then he can figure out in a split second what to do. That’s what Jeremy’s great at.”
In the lane, Lin took advantage of UConn’s young and often out-of-position big men.
“We really try to funnel things to our shot blockers,” Sellers said. “And he’s so scrappy and he’s so savvy, he can get in there and he can jump up and take the contact and float the ball over them, or he could stop and pull up before he got to the shot blocker.”
------
In what Magnarelli called a rare occurrence, Lin started finishing layups on the opposite side of the rim — now a familiar sight for Knicks fans — to avoid UConn’s lengthy extra defenders “looking for the highlight block.” Lin scored all of Harvard’s 11 points in the final 1 minute 39 seconds to provide drama, but UConn’s talent proved to be too much; Dyson, Walker and Robinson combined for 62 points.
But with less than 20 seconds left, Lin dribbled the length of the court, outran Dyson and dunked with both hands. Robinson, 6 feet 9 inches and athletic, was under the basket when it happened.
“I moved,” Robinson said sheepishly. “I had to.”
