Lin Wei "Journey to the West": From Nanjing to Dezhou, the basketball dream begins again

On July 9, an exciting news came, Nanjing Tongxi officially issued a message, warmly congratulating Lin Wei on being selected by the Texas Legends team under the Dallas Mavericks.

Lin Wei was successfully selected at 1:00 pm on July 8, or at 1:00 AM on July 9, at 2025 NBAG League International Players Draft. At this moment, the high temperature in Nanjing seemed to be less than the heat in everyone's heart. Lin Wei's basketball dream began with Xiamen's unique monsoon climate. After three years of "watering" of the Qinhuai River in Nanjing, it has now spanned tens of thousands of kilometers and finally found a new growth soil across the ocean.

Since joining the club youth team in October 2020, Lin Wei embarked on a journey of continuous growth. His career is full of highlights. He shocked everyone with his buzzer-beating victory in his debut, and successfully ranked first in the regular season local scoring leader. Perhaps he is not the most outstanding one in terms of talent, but with his unremitting efforts and the sweat he used during training, he accumulated the confidence to face doubts for himself. As an excellent player carefully trained by Nanjing Toupai Sujiu Team, he is the pride of the team and the hope star of Chinese basketball.

Before this, Lin Wei participated in this year's NBA draft. Although he was regretful to be eliminated, he was not discouraged. Instead, he quickly adjusted his state and actively prepared for the G League international player draft. This tenacity and persistence are admirable. Hard work pays off, and he was finally selected by the Mavericks' subordinate team Texas Legends in the eighth pick.

Lin Wei's basketball journey is like an adventure full of challenges and opportunities. From the Nanjing arena to the Texas stage, he bravely took a new step. This is not only an important turning point in his personal career, but also another breakthrough in Chinese basketball. I believe that this young man can continue to shine in a new environment and write his own basketball legend. Let us look forward to his departure in Texas and creating more exciting moments in the future.
