In the CBA game played on January 19, the Tianjin Forerunner men's basketball team defeated Beijing Shougang 126-114, ushering in a wave of three consecutive wins. Lin Tingqian, who has always regarded Jeremy Lin as an idol, finally ushered in the opportunity to compete with him. Lin Tingqian once participated in the basketball training camp hosted by Jeremy Lin, and the two also had a "mentor-apprentice relationship", and now in the CBA arena, the two who have become opponents have a different spark.
Tianjin Forerunner Men's Basketball Team Member Lin Tingqian:
Jeremy Lin is also my idol since I was a child, and I am very happy to be able to play against him on the professional field for the first time today.
As a new generation of defenders, Lin Tingqian has shown a high degree of basketball talent from a very young age, and has been called "the next Jeremy Lin" and "Jeremy Kobayashi". In Lin Tingqian's heart, he also regards Jeremy Lin as the driving force and the direction of his efforts.
I think it's definitely an inspiration, I feel like he's a long way from him, he has a lot to learn, so I can only slowly follow in his footsteps.
Competing with his idol, for Kobayashi, more often than not, it is more like a distant dream. However, with the return of The Booker to the CBA this season, this seemingly distant dream has become within reach. Looking at the shuhao standing opposite, Lin Tingqian's heart could not hide his excitement.
I was really excited, but for the sake of the game, I still had to suppress my excitement and help the team win well.
As Kobayashi said, the first duel with Shuhao, despite the excitement, he quickly packed up his mood and entered the game. In the game, it was Jeremy Lin who defended him. However, in the face of idols, the respectful Kobayashi did not have the slightest fear, and in the first goal of the opening, he forced a breakthrough to make a basket.
Lin Tingqian's speed did make Jeremy Lin a little uncomfortable at first, but he soon showed the experience of an NBA player, repeatedly letting Kobayashi lose fouls on the offensive end.
His whole experience, his ability to control the field, the technique of cheating fouls, are all very worth learning from me.
With 14 points and eight assists, this is the answer that 22-year-old Lin Tingqian handed over for the first time against Jeremy Lin, who is 11 years older than him, including the three-point shot that met the defensive shot in the final moments of the game. Compared to Jeremy Lin's performance of 21 points and 4 assists, Kobayashi did not fall behind in the first showdown with his idol. However, for the young Lin Tingqian, he still has a long way to go in the future, and there are still many things worth learning from Jeremy Lin.
The first is his spirit, never give up, no matter how big a difficult situation he encounters, but there is still a way to adjust his mood and get up from the difficulty, which is a place worth learning for all of us basketball players.
