Today we will talk about Jeremy Lin's difficult road to pursuing his dreams. Let me briefly repeat with you what Jeremy Lin wrote on social media. May 16 is the deadline for the NBA regular season, and Jeremy Lin hopes to get the NBA call before the end of the regular season, but he has never been able to do so. After a year in the CBA, Jeremy Lin felt he had overcome the psychological barriers posed by injuries and believed he was still an NBA-level player, so he gave up all his contracts outside the United States and decided to join the NBA's development league, hoping to return to the NBA.
But after a few months, the players around him were all contracted. But he only wanted a 10-day contract to prove himself, but he never got a chance. Jeremy Lin wrote at the end that I didn't make it to the NBA for reasons I could never know, but I knew I was better than before, and I proved that I was still a basketball player, but like I said before, having big ambitions can come at the cost of heartbreak. Between the lines, he revealed the resentment that he did not meet. So what is Jeremy Lin's long social media article accusing? Apparently a ghost, a ghost of Asian racial discrimination floating above the continent between the merry forests. Jeremy Lee has actually said on social media many times before that he has fully recovered his health and has typed out data that should be able to be called, but there is always no NBA to give him a chance.
So let's take a look at Jeremy Lin's performance. He averaged 20 points per game in the Competition Development League, ranked seventh in the league, averaged 6.5 assists per game, ranked fourth in the league, shot 50 percent from the field, shot 43.36 percent from the field, and shot 88 percent from free throws, all of which are new career highs for Jeremy Lin, and these are the numbers he averaged only 31 minutes per game, 12 shots per game, what does it mean for Jeremy Lin to play the above? Let's look at such a statistic, with the season development league in the top 11 players per game average score list have been called up by the NBA, except for the 7th place Jeremy Lin, only three people in the whole season averaged more assists per game than Jeremy Lin, and all three of them were awarded NBA contracts. Jeremy Lin's defensive performance this season is also very good, his team is the best defensive team in the entire league, and Jeremy Lin's defensive efficiency is ranked second in the league, even at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, Jeremy Lin has played a very good performance, but there are still no NBA teams willing to call him, so do you say that Jeremy Lin's requirements are excessive?
It's fair to say he didn't set up a team first and only asked for a short 10-day contract second, but still no team was willing to give him that chance. After two and a half months of playing time, so many teams have been injured, even so lack of manpower, Jeremy Lin as a player who has played Lin crazy, but still no team is willing to run out of the olive branch.
After listening to the above, we seem to have no reason to excuse the management of the NBA, and one of the problems that cannot be avoided is that it is aimed at Asian players. Although Jeremy Lin did not point this out in the long social media article, after expressing his confusion about it, he wrote this paragraph, for the next generation of Asian players, I very much hope that I can do more on the NBA court, break down more obstacles, and inspire you more. Don't hesitate when you have the chance, don't worry about whether others will think you belong there, kick that door open when you've already stepped in the door, and then take other people with you. On this point, there will certainly be people who say that Jeremy Lin is clearly incompetent, don't throw the pot to give me racial discrimination. Speaking of which, I don't know if you know the example of American talk show actor Dave Chappell. When you're in the middle of it, you do feel the pain and insecurity that comes with racism.
When Jeremy Lin's career period is no longer crazy, he is just a qualified second vacancy or a third vacancy, no team is willing to give him a chance to play, even if it is a short contract of 10 days, the domestic media will be Jeremy Lin's statement on social media a few days ago as a declaration of retirement, Jeremy Lin has discussed with the CBA team, to return to China next season, no matter what decision Jeremy Lin makes, as a fan, as a witness to a crazy story, All we can do is silently support.
