China News Service, May 19th. On the 19th, basketball player Jeremy Lin posted an article on his personal social media to review his path to return to the NBA.
He said that he is still an NBA-level player, but he hasn't gotten any chance in the past year.
Jeremy Lin said that through one year of experience in the CBA, he has overcome the psychological barriers caused by previous injuries. He believes that he is an NBA-level player and therefore gave up all contracts outside the United States and decided to join the NBA Development League. .
Looking back at Jeremy Lin’s development league journey, he played 9 regular season games, averaging 19.8 points, 3.2 rebounds and 6.4 assists, and 2 playoff games, averaging 16 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists.
In terms of statistics, Jeremy Lin still maintains a high level of competition.
But the door of the NBA has not been able to open to Jeremy Lin.
He also wrote angrily in the article: "I told myself that as long as a ten-day contract and a chance to get back on the court, I can smash these doubts. This is how my entire basketball career began—a way to prove myself. Opportunity. For reasons I can never fully know, that opportunity never materialized."

Jeremy Lin regretfully said: "I'm really really working hard to realize my dream. This idea comes from the depths of my heart. I know I am better than before, and I have proved that I am still an NBA player. But As I said before, having big dreams may come at the cost of heartbreak."
Finally, Jeremy Lin also expressed his support for Asian players: "For the next generation of Asian players, I very much hope that I can do more on the NBA court, break more barriers, and inspire you more. When When you have a chance, don’t hesitate and don’t worry about whether others think you belong there. When you have stepped into the door, kick that door open, and then bring other people with you." (End)
