In the last season of the Raptors in NBA, Jeremy Lin no longer had a chance to play, although his strength can still support him to spend some garbage time. But after the season ended, Jeremy Lin lost the qualification to play in the NBA and had no choice but to come to CBA. Because he has made a name for himself in the NBA and is a yellow man, Jeremy Lin has become a "thorn in the eyes" of the players.
The reason is nothing more than: I want to see what Jeremy Lin has the ability to play in the NBA. Since he can play, I can play too.
In the warm-up match before the start of this season, Guangzhou Longliu and Nanjing Tongxi, Jeremy Lin encountered the defense of Xirelijiang when he held the ball for halftime. Xirelijiang leaned against Jeremy Lin, who was forced into a dilemma in half. In the end, the referee grabbed a small move and called out Jeremy Lin's offensive foul.
Then Xirelijiang also gave Jeremy Lin a spoken speech. This scene was watched by the public. First of all, Xirelijiang appeared on the court as a coach, and he used his actions to show the players what passion was. But the player in this picture is Jeremy Lin. As a famous player, he is a bit embarrassed in such a dilemma.
Jerry Lin's mistakes have always been eye-catching. When he first came to the CBA to play for the Beijing team,Jerry Lin performed very well in all aspects. But in the following seasons, due to the increase in age, the condition also declined. With the reasons mentioned above, the players thought they could limit Jeremy Lin, so they began to treat Jeremy Lin unfairly.
In 2019, Jeremy Lin averaged 3.3 turnovers per game when he first arrived in the CBA, and 2.3 turnovers in the 2021 season, but Jeremy Lin played 10 minutes less than before in the 2021 season, so his turnover count is still among the top. During the NBA Raptors season, Jeremy Lin had only 1.1 turnovers in the 18 minutes he averaged.
It is certain that Jeremy Lin was once the top defender in China, but now he has encountered the lowest-level problem among guards in the CBA. From many pictures, we can see that once other players get the ball, the opponent will not be so close to the defense. When Jeremy Lin got the ball, his opponent began to take strict precautions, and even his body movements were a bit exaggerated and tough.
Referee probably has adapted to Jeremy Lin's treatment, and will not call for punishment unless he encounters a particularly serious defensive foul. In addition, fans mocked Jeremy Lin for his fake fall, fell down when he was touched by his opponent, and no one noticed how serious Jeremy Lin was treated.
Anyone who has played the ball knows that it will definitely be a bit uncomfortable to encounter a tough defense, but the speed and slow pauses in the breakthrough process are controllable, let alone players like Jeremy Lin who have experienced in the NBA. His offense is much better than other players, but it's not that fast now.
Until now, we have become accustomed to the various scars that Jeremy Lin has appeared in the game, the corners of the mouth, nose, chin, etc., and even bleeding.
Some fans are right: When watching NBA play, they won’t have too many hand movements, because they will foul when they hit someone. The CBA keeps reaching out to get the ball, and if you break through, you will hang your hands with your hands. It’s as unruly as playing jungle balls. If you dribble, you will squeeze the ball. But if you break through, you will squeeze it with your side, but you will foul it so embarrassed to call it, and it will eventually be said to be a tough defense.
even so, the players are still very happy to find a sense of presence on the 34-year-old Jeremy Lin. Jeremy Lin did not complain about this, and said: I think I should adapt to the CBA defense and I will work hard.
