they will not double at the beginning. The other team will see how hot you can be. When one starts to get hot, they will start to double. So at the beginning of the game, probably they will not double Lin that strong. They may use one player to defend him and the other player helps to harass him, but not fully on Lin. Lin will need to improve his dibbling during summer. So even when they double him, he can still pass the ball out. Even he cannot score, he can help his teamates to score. Lin is doing great, considering that he is the only asian pg starter in NBA. We will just need to give him some time to grow and improve.
