　　A year is very short, so short that you can say goodbye before you have time to remember; a year is so long, so long that the long memories of getting along with each other like pearls are burned in our hearts.

Unfortunately, I still have to solemnly tell everyone that Jeremy Lin, our hero, will not be a foreign aid for the Beijing Shougang men's basketball team in the CBA competition in the new season.

After repeated deliberation, Jeremy Lin made a difficult decision: he hopes to try to return to the NBA again, and fight for his most persistent basketball ideal in the highest basketball hall.

　　The unremitting pursuit of dreams is the origin of "Lin madness" and the key point for Beijing Shougang and Jeremy Lin to join hands.

During the epidemic and in the "Three Distractions" public welfare project, Jeremy Lin personally and his team made a lot of donations.

As an athlete, his pursuit and spirit are worthy of all respect.

　　This year, we have experienced every moment of every game together. We shared the joy of victory and the loneliness of defeat. We shared the love and courage that came from the fans and from each other.

The fans did not hesitate to all the applause and cheers. The brothers of the team not only supported each other with Jeremy Lin, but also partners who can travel together in private and treat each other frankly. Jeremy Lin and Beijing Shougang have become a family.

　　Because of this, the two sides have always maintained the vision of being able to work together again in the new season, but we can also understand and respect Jeremy Lin’s final decision, and respect for an athlete who never gave up every minute and every second of his career, at all costs Pursuing the highest ideals-he perfectly interprets the "higher, faster and stronger" sportsmanship.

　　At the same time, this is also the eternal creed of the Beijing Shougang Basketball Club. We will continue to move forward with the spirit of Beijing Shougang!

　　May the future be bright, may donate without merit, and may dream catchers will eventually reap!

Goodbye Brother Hao, and look forward to having the opportunity to continue our relationship, we will always be one family!
