Jeremy Lin posted a video on his personal social media, announcing his bid farewell to Beijing Shougang and CBA. Jeremy Lin said: When I said I was leaving China, I cried and shed tears. In the end, I still feel that I have an NBA dream and I still have time to play. Then I have to chase it.
then Beijing Shougang also announced the news: “The team and Jeremy Lin’s team have been in contact, and the two sides have reached a consensus on the contract extension. But Jeremy Lin hopes to try to return to the NBA again and go to the highest basketball hall. , Fight again for your most persistent basketball ideal. Goodbye Brother Hao, looking forward to the opportunity to continue the front line, we will always be a family!"
leaving the CBA and chasing the NBA is also reasonable. Some people in the domestic media broke the news: as many as 6 NBA teams contact Jeremy Lin. Song Xiang, a well-known journalist from CBA, said: “Jeremy Lin and Shougang’s contract negotiations went smoothly, and it’s about to be signed! Some NBA teams are indeed contacting Jeremy Lin’s US agent, but they have not determined when the game will start next season, so Brother Hao signed the contract. The news of "has no substantial progress!"
Hao brother left CBA just because he wanted to return to the NBA? In fact, there is another reason: CBA foreign aid policy will change next season. Jeremy Lin played 32.6 minutes in the regular season of this season, and rose to 35.8 minutes in the playoffs. Starting from the 2020-21 season, CBA has implemented 4 quarters of foreign aid and 4 visits. On average, each foreign aid can only play two quarters and more than 20 minutes.
Before leaving China, Jeremy Lin wrote a long article: "About 7 years ago, I thought about coming to CBA to play. Your support far exceeds my expectations. All kinds of care and love can be seen everywhere. I am not good at expressing myself. Thank you, I love you. usually say goodbye to each other, but I would rather say goodbye this time! "
Jeremy Lin played 39 games in the regular season, averaging 22.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.8 steals, He played 4 games in the playoffs, averaging 22.8 points, 4 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 2.5 steals per game. Regardless of his attitude towards the game, his personal data, and team performance, Jeremy Lin's CBA trip was a success.
Think about it carefully: some foreign aids come to CBA and don't work hard, and some foreign aids make a big noise in the hotel. Look at Jeremy Lin. He gave shoes to fans after the game. Before leaving China, he signed hundreds of things: jerseys, sneakers, cards, basketballs, dolls... and rushed to the airport after all signing. Although he only played for one season, he has always used his influence to help more people.
Before the start of the regular season, Jeremy Lin promised to donate 3000 yuan for every three-pointer scored. In the playoffs, he raised the donation amount for each three-pointer to 21,000 yuan. After the season, how much did he donate in total? 52 regular season + 11 All-Stars + 6 playoffs, a total donation of 315,000 yuan! Many foreign aid workers have an annual salary of several million U.S. dollars, equivalent to tens of millions of yuan, but who is willing to spend some of them for charity in China?
32-year-old Jeremy Lin is no longer young, and it has been eight years since Lin Crazy. His NBA career can be described as a big ups and downs, from the initial loss of regret, no ball to play, sitting on the bench, to the overnight fame and popularity of "Lin Madness", to the heartbreak when he suffered a serious injury... Tasted it, he never thought of giving up.
2017 right knee patellar ligament rupture, became his careerTurning point. Jumping ability, explosive power, and speed all descended like a cliff. In the summer of 2019, Jeremy Lin followed the Raptors to win the championship. As a result, some fans ridiculed him! Don't forget, he gained 51.7 seconds of playing time and was also the first Asian player to appear in the Finals. What qualifications do you have to laugh at a veteran who has played in the NBA for 10 years?
After watching this season's CBA, you will think Jeremy Lin is really not that fast, and his scoring explosiveness is not as good as that of a small foreign player like Joseph Young. Brother Hao now relies more on experience to play. His overall view and organizational ability are also the foundation of his foothold in the NBA. In any case, this season will become a fond memory in the hearts of fans.
