Jeremy Lin didn't get much chance in the first two games. Picture in this article CFP
averaged 8.5 minutes per game, scored 4 points, 1 rebound, 0.5 assists, and 1.5 turnovers... This is the data of Jeremy Lin in the first two rounds of CBA in the new season.
For a "top" foreign player, such performance is hard to say, and it is even a bit embarrassing.
This is Jeremy Lin's third season in the CBA. From the first season of joining Beijing Shougang , to the struggle to return to Beijing Shougang in the second season, to the sluggish and silence of his current turn to the Guangzhou Men's Basketball Team, the outside world's expectations for Jeremy Lin have become doubts bit by bit - Can Jeremy Lin's ability still be considered a foreign player?
"I really think that my season this year will be the best season in my entire basketball career." This is what Jeremy Lin left in an interview with domestic media before the season. Of course, after saying this, Jeremy Lin himself added that he would fight with this attitude before the start of each season.
But when he experienced various injuries, when his physical fitness declined significantly, when the CBA league began to encourage confrontation, can Jeremy Lin, who is now 34 years old, still play the "best season", or will he experience the "most difficult season".

"Why don't Jeremy Lin play?"
In the second round of the CBA regular season of Guangzhou Men's Basketball Team vs. Sichuan Men's Basketball Team in the new season, within 5 minutes of the fourth quarter, Liu Guanshan of Sichuan Men's Basketball Team used a three-pointer to close the gap to 3 points. Guangzhou Men's Basketball Team coach Guo Shiqiang immediately shouted a timeout.
At that time, a series of fan comments popped up on the barrage of the online live broadcast, and the most frequent appearance was "Why don't Jeremy Lin play more?"
Coach Guo Shiqiang did use that timeout to rotate personnel. He replaced Miao Guangyang with Cui Yongxi , and replaced Liu Jiaxin with Jiao Boqiao , but Jeremy Lin still failed to return to the court.
The TV broadcast footage at that time swept to the Guangzhou Men's Basketball Team bench. Jeremy Lin did not sit in the team, but was warming up on the bicycle not far away while watching the situation on the stadium.
After that timeout, the big foreign aid of Guangzhou Men's Basketball Team, Bale, tried hard to grab a frontcourt rebound and made a second attack. Then the team's backcourt core Chen Yingjun forced a breakthrough to score, and the score difference was widened to 7 points. The Guangzhou Men's Basketball Team also survived the last "crisis" of the game.
Until the final whistle, Jeremy Lin never took off his training jacket again, and his playing time was 4 minutes and 49 seconds. He made two shots in the whole game, hitting a goal, scoring 2 points, 1 rebound, and 1 assist, but had 2 turnovers and 1 foul.
If the second round victory, the Guangzhou Men's Basketball Team needs the big foreign aid Bale to grab rebounds and cause damage at the critical moment, then in the defeat in the first round of the game, the Guangzhou Men's Basketball Team also lost to another small foreign aid Mason in the "internal competition".
Although Mason's performance was not ideal in that game, he played for 34 minutes, while Jeremy Lin only played for 13 minutes, scored 6 points and 1 rebound, and had one turnover, with a positive and negative value of efficiency of -10. After two games of
, Guo Shiqiang talked about the team's lineup running-in situation, but he did not specifically explain his use of Jeremy Lin. On social networks, there are more and more discussions among fans about "Why don't Jeremy Lin play more". Judging from the official news released by the Guangzhou Men's Basketball Team, there is no relevant content about Jeremy Lin's injury or relapse of his old injury.
So, why can't Jeremy Lin get the chance to play?
What Jeremy Lin said in an interview with the media before the game may be used as a reference. "Coach Guo Shiqiang and the Guangzhou Men's Basketball Team are both relatively simple, and they are completely judging from the performance of basketball."
Jeremy Lin's physical confrontation is not advantageous.

So, why can't Jeremy Lin get the chance to play?
What Jeremy Lin said in an interview with the media before the game may be used as a reference. "Coach Guo Shiqiang and the Guangzhou Men's Basketball Team are both relatively simple, and they are completely judging from the performance of basketball."
Jeremy Lin's physical confrontation is not advantageous.
Will this be his most difficult season?
The new season of CBA regular season has just begun two rounds. It is definitely too hasty to judge a player's performance throughout the season based on his performance in two games, but judging from Jeremy Lin's tactical position on the court and his own performance, this season may be quite difficult for Jeremy Lin.
As for Jeremy Lin's skills and style, after coming to the CBA through a serious injury, Jeremy Lin is no longer the " Lin Crazy " who was able to fly and escape. He also admitted in an interview, "I know in some aspects, I must have regressed. I am not in my twenties anymore."
However, Jeremy Lin also said, "But I have improved other skills a lot. I think I am smarter, have a better mentality, and I am more confident. My Centre and Spots have both improved."
However, judging from the performance of the first two games of this season, when Jeremy Lin's breakthrough route was blocked by his opponent, it was difficult for him to open up the space for passing the ball with his footsteps, and in the process of "entanglement" with his opponent, the offensive operation of the Guangzhou Men's Basketball Team also stagnated.
In fact, after coming to the CBA, Jeremy Lin emphasized more than once that he is not a small foreign player who likes "one to five". He is better at finding the right time to create scoring opportunities for his teammates and thus win. In the Guangzhou Men's Basketball Team, Chen Yingjun, the "No. 1 pick" of the CBA in 2017, actually has a similar style of playing. They are all good at using pick-and-roll to create "three threats" of breakthroughs, passes and jump shots, but judging from their current state, Chen Yingjun's condition seems to be more ideal than Jeremy Lin in all aspects.
's function is similar to Chen Yingjun's game, and his physical fitness and ability to create damage are not as good as that of another foreign player, Mason. If coach Guo Shiqiang wants to choose two ball holding points, then Jeremy Lin will naturally be ranked behind them. This may be an important factor in Jeremy Lin's failure to get enough playing time in the first two rounds of the new season, and it may become a problem he must face throughout the season.
Not only that, the most obvious change in the CBA this season is that the league began to encourage physical confrontation. According to the official CBA statement, "From the perspective of referees, we also find that the referee philosophy, cognition and execution of domestic referees are different from that of international players. For example, if a slight contact is sentenced to be a foul, a missed judgment is obvious violation, and the high positive judgment rate of physical fouls is not high... The referee in the new season will fully benchmark the standards of FIBA , optimize the CBA League competition rules for the new season, and keep it consistent with the FIBA basketball rules to the greatest extent."
played for Beijing Shougang in the past two seasons, and Jeremy Lin did not have an advantage in the confrontation on the court. Now, when the CBA league's judgment standards are relaxed, Jeremy Lin may have to face more intense physical confrontation. For the 34-year-old "veteran", this is naturally a more difficult challenge.
Jeremy Lin is still insisting.
persists, he still wants to do more
Can Jeremy Lin adapt to all the changes brought about by growing older to physical condition and then to adjustments to the league rules? It is obviously too early to draw conclusions at the moment, but at least Jeremy Lin himself still wants to stick to it.
"I really think that this year's season will be the best season in my entire basketball career." Jeremy Lin left such an evaluation on himself in an exclusive interview with "External Editorial Department", and also his expectations for the new season.
In Jeremy Lin's words, this confidence is his motivation to insist on staying on the court to fight. "I have this idea every year. If I think I can't make a shot, I don't have to play. If I think they can guard me, I don't have to play. This is the most basic idea."
After joining the Guangzhou Men's Basketball Team, Coach Guo Shiqiang praised Jeremy Lin's professional attitude more than once. "He worked very hard in every training class and trained very hard. Including communicating with our coaches and players, the running-in is very good. He can drive these young players, including passing on some of his experience to young players, which is also very important for our team."
is not only on the court, but Jeremy Lin has brought a good team atmosphere to the Guangzhou Men's Basketball Team; under the court, Jeremy Lin also continues to "giving back to the society" charity attitude.
Just after the new season began, Jeremy Lin also said on social networks that he will continue to promote "three-distracted" charity activities - for every three-pointer he scored in the game, he will donate a charity fund to help children in need fulfill their dreams.
"I hope to always uphold empathy, gratitude, care, and use my own abilities to bring positive impact to others. "This is the personal charm of Jeremy Lin and it is also a part of the off-market value he brings to the CBA. "We contribute together to make the lives of more children different. "
But when returning to the court, Jeremy Lin still needs to use his performance on the court to prove his value. The decline in physical fitness, the impact of injuries, and the increasingly fierce external competition have made Jeremy Lin's survival pressure in the CBA. Just as he admitted after choosing to join the Guangzhou Men's Basketball Team, "I won't lie, I won't say I have many choices, I only have one or two choices. "
If he cannot prove himself in the Guangzhou Men's Basketball Team this season, then even if he still wants to stay on the court, the "one or two choices" he mentioned will disappear.
In fact, every season, the good and bad players in the CBA league will be placed under the "magnifying glass" of public opinion to analyze it carefully.
In the history of CBA, most foreign players will be labeled as "gold rush" and "passers-by", and most of them may not stay in a certain team for too many seasons, and There will not be too many emotional bonds with that city, so their performance and the contribution of the court have become important criteria for determining their stay or not.
But Jeremy Lin is a little different, not only because of his appearance, his growth experience, but also because of his professional attitude and humble personality, but also because of an emotional bond between him and his fans.
This may be Jeremy Lin’s most difficult CBA season, but at least he is still persisting and striving for, and his story continues.
