Jeremy Lin retired: When will future generations catch up with the Asian outside line at the peak of the NBA?

Jeremy Lin retired, 37 years old, with a 15-year career.

The Chinese, even the yellow defender is the peak.

In the NBA, it has reached a height that even the yellow defenders and even outside players are still unattainable.

Let's talk about his NBA career here.

Average 11.6 points, 2.8 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game. "Lin Sanity" that swept North America more than a decade ago, is the last best-in-week and championship among Asian players so far.

or more bluntly, Yao Ming's most successful Asian player after that is not comparable to Hachimura, who is now playing for the Lakers and has the 8th pick in the first round.

He and Yao Ming are still the highest peak of Asian players' struggle in the NBA so far. Although the two have no intersection in their careers, there are many similarities, and to some extent, they even reveal the ceiling of Asian and even yellow players' struggles in the NBA.

Yao Ming has played in NBA for 514 games in eight seasons, and Jeremy Lin has played 505 games in nine seasons.

The two officially entered the world's highest basketball stage at the age of 21 or 2, and both suffered major injuries that destroyed their careers at the age of 30.

Then try to make a comeback, try, encounter setbacks, accept reality, and end.

The difference is that Yao Ming retired directly, while Shuhao moved to the Asian arena and continued his career to this day.

actually indirectly illustrates that Asian players, even in today's scenario where sports medicine is already highly developed, at the limit of NBA's struggle, it is probably within ten years, before the age of 30, about 500 games.

We don't need to feel unfair or angry because of this. Larry Bird said forty years ago, "Basketball is a game created by God for black people to play."

Yao Ming and Jeremy Lin each have unique physical talents far exceeding Asian players.

Chairman Yao's height, as well as his skills and sensitivity outstanding in his figure of the same level.

Shuhaojun has the speed, explosive power, and outstanding core strength and physical control ability comparable to black players.

But under the intensity of NBA competition training year after year, they all fell to their thirty years.

This is the cruel reality of professional sports.

But I still want to say that this is already Jeremy Lin, a touching story that although he has the label of ABC (America Born Chinese), relies on personal efforts and god-given opportunities to finally seize the opportunity and complete a touching story that is brilliant enough for a career.

His career ended up inspiring many latecomers, giving them the motivation to work hard and compete in NBA.

He used to be the role model that I hope Guo Ailun can achieve, and it is what Choi Yongxi is now expected to become.

Yellow people can also gain a foothold in NBA, which is the greatest success.

He is a top student at Harvard University. This is a major student in the United States that focuses on cultivating political and business elites. The last NBA player was a prestigious school for ED Smith in 1951. Before Jeremy Lin, he had almost nothing to do with the NBA.

He was defeated in the 2010 draft and was then defeated by the Golden State Warriors, who was still a bottom-sized player at the time. On the surface, it was said that it was to find a substitute for the second-year defender Stephen Curry who was injured at the time, but the outside world believed that it was to please the vast Chinese community in Oakland.

He has performed well in the Warriors, but it is not enough to break the discrimination against Asians and yellow people in the NBA circle.

"Discrimination problem" runs through Jeremy Lin's entire career. He does not have Yao Ming's halo of the top scorer, the giant's height and the endorsement of a powerful motherland. He is more like a loner in the crack facing the endless malice and prejudice around him.

But they all survived.

Compared to the "Wind Tornado" he created in New York, I prefer the goal he played against the Clippers in the 14-15 season (October 31, 2014).

There were 5 minutes left in the game and tied 103-103. He took the ball in the last five seconds and refused Kobe's request. Instead, he asked Mamba to pick-and-roll and call him Xiao Cannon (he was only 30 years old at that time), and finally made a three-pointer with a 45-degree angle extreme pull.

Although he lost the game in the end, he was able to reject Kobe, who was the only one in the Lakers at the time, and scored tough points, showing the tough side of Jeremy Lin's character.

In this scene, some people have passed away (Kobe), some are still playing basketball (Paul), some have just retired today (Jerry Lin), and some have coached the Lakers (Redick).

Many people today praise and miss Jeremy Lin's tolerance and devotion to the Lord. But a good old man cannot stare at all kinds of discrimination for nearly ten years.

Jerry Lin is a confident and almost arrogant person. He used to be the same defender as Lillard and Wall, but because he had no chance.

It is precisely because of this firmness and confidence that he has been fighting in NBA until he is 30 years old.

Looking back on his entire NBA career, he is Lin Crazy in New York, and was once the "double cornerstone" that the Rockets were once regarded as a rival to Harden. He was the thorn in the Lakers that made Kobe love and hate, and the sixth man who once competed for 6MOY.

His career is rich and colorful enough to reach a height that has never been reached at the Asian outside.

The last career of the Raptors was more like an extra gift given to him by basketball God.

A wonderful enough NBA career, I hope that more than one Chinese can catch up or even surpass him in the future.

Happy retirement.
