However, with the determination of the Shandong men's basketball team to compete in the new season of the CBA League, fans were pleasantly surprised to find that Ding Yanyuhang finally returned to the team roster.

　　On October 16, the Shandong men's basketball team defeated the North Control team 105-93 in the first game of the new CBA league, and Ding Yanyuhang, who had been absent for a long time, came off the bench, and he scored 19 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals in 24 minutes, making a great contribution to the team's new season.

　　After the game, Ding Yanyuhang wrote on his personal social media: "In three and a half years, countless expectations, countless times of waiting, I can finally stand on this familiar field again. I really appreciate everyone's continued support, and I am also grateful for your company. ”

　　Although the first battle of the comeback was outstanding, there are still many people who have reservations about how Ding Yanyu hang's state of the long-sparse battle line is. In the second game against Liaoning, Ding Yanyu hang played 21 minutes, but the feel was not good, only 5 points were scored on 2 of 10 shots, and he only played less than 2 minutes against Guangsha in the third game.

　　However, in the fourth round against Nanjing, Ding Yanyu hang got the full trust of head coach Xu Changsuo, playing 41 minutes and 45 seconds, scoring 34 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, including 9 of 15 three-pointers, creating a new record for the number of three-pointers in his CBA career.

Facing the Nanjing team in this round, the overall strength of the Shandong team was higher than the opponent, Ding Yanyuhang only played 18 minutes, and Xu Changsuo deliberately reduced his playing time.

　　Although Ding Yanyuhang's data after his comeback is good, in fact, he still relies more on shooting on the court, especially shooting outside the three-point line, which accounts for the majority, from the perspective of the game process, his breakthrough and confrontation ability have not fully recovered, and there are relatively many mistakes. Xu Changsuo also said that Ding Yanyu still needs time to adapt.

　　In any case, after three and a half years away from the game, after experiencing such a serious injury, and finally returning with the love and persistence of basketball, Ding Yanyuhang has brought too many surprises to the fans who love him. For the 28-year-old two-time MVP winner, the season is still long, and the road ahead is even longer.
