Jeremy Lin , the most successful yellow-skinned player since Yao Ming . In the second season of his career in NBA, Jeremy Lin reached the peak, but he came and went in a hurry. After winning the championship with Raptors in 2019, Jeremy Lin did not get a contract renewal, and other teams were the same. Of course, his basketball career has to continue. Since there are a large number of fans in China, Jeremy Lin chose to play in CBA. He joined Beijing Shougang , and then went to the Development League to continue to seek contracts for NBA teams. Although he performed well, the results still remained unchanged.
Last season, Jeremy Lin, who had no hope of returning to the NBA, returned to the CBA. However, as he grows older and the pressure of foreign players competition, Jeremy Lin's performance can only be described in general, which is destined to mean that both sides are getting farther and farther away. Yes, in this offseason, Beijing Shougang did not activate the priority renewal rights for Jeremy Lin. Obviously, the team has made a choice. After all, Jeremy Lin has no advantage in foreign players, and the decision made by Beijing Shougang is not difficult. So, as the new season is getting closer, where is Jeremy Lin going?
Previously, there was news that the Taiwan League is interested in Jeremy Lin, but there is no following in this matter. It can be seen that Jeremy Lin’s next company will still be a CBA team, and he will continue to deepen his roots in the Chinese market. Recently, Jeremy Lin has frequently participated in activities, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that there are many benefits to staying in the CBA. On the one hand, the league level is relatively low and the profit is quite good. Of course, more importantly, you can learn from Marbury, deepen your efforts in the Chinese market, and maximize your own interests. To be honest, there are indeed not many choices left to Jeremy Lin.
Just today, many media reported that Jeremy Lin has arrived in Guangzhou and the two sides are about to sign a contract. In other words, in the new season, Jeremy Lin will join forces with Guo Shiqiang to compete for playoffs . Leaving Beijing Shougang and joining the Guangzhou Men's Basketball Team is both good and bad for Jeremy Lin. The advantage is that Guo Shiqiang's coaching style is more dependent on the group, which is in line with Jeremy Lin's style of play. As for the disadvantage, it must be that his income has dropped sharply. Jeremy Lin's level is not as good as before, otherwise Beijing Shougang would not give up on him, which means that the Guangzhou Men's Basketball Team will definitely give less than Beijing Shougang.
In addition, the CBA has been in a downturn in recent years, and Jeremy Lin’s own level issues, some sources revealed that Jeremy Lin’s annual salary next season will be about US$1.5 million, which is about 10 million yuan, which is mostly reduced compared to his peak period. You should know that during the Shougang period in Beijing, Jeremy Lin’s annual salary was as high as US$3.5 million, or about 24 million yuan. It can be seen that Jeremy Lin’s salary in the CBA will only get lower and lower in the future. If the team’s record does not break through, this time point may come earlier.
