Yesterday, Jeremy Lin, a well-known basketball player, announced his retirement on social media, ending his 15-year basketball career.

Jeol Lin participated in the NBA draft in 2010, but was eventually out of the election, which started his NBA career. During his NBA, Jeremy Lin played for many teams including the Warriors, Knicks, Rockets, Lakers, and other teams. At the beginning of his career, the Knicks ushered in a turning point in their NBA career. They relied on a 10-day short contract to make the world recognize this Chinese, and their outstanding performance was called "Lin Crazy" by fans.

In his NBA regular season career, Jeremy Lin averaged 11.6 points, 2.8 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.1 steals per game, shooting percentage of 43.3% and three-point shooting percentage of 34.2%.

Jeremy Lin won the Player of the Week on February 6, 2012 due to his surprising performance in the early days of playing for the Knicks. And at the end of his NBA career, he won the 2018-19 NBA championship while playing for the Raptors.

Jeol Lin's success has opened up the horizons for many Chinese and even young players from Asian backgrounds, and provided the courage and possibility to pursue their basketball dreams. His retirement has also sparked discussions about the growth of the next generation of Chinese players.

The new generation player of Chinese men's basketball team, Yang Hansen, was selected by the Trail Blazers in the 16th pick in the first round of the NBA Draft this year. Excellent in the summer league and the Trail Blazers have high expectations for it. In the new season, Yang Hansen is expected to usher in a major career breakthrough, which is also the hope of Chinese fans.

Zach Edith, a Canadian-Chinese, was selected by the Grizzlies with the ninth pick in the first round in last year's NBA Draft. The rookie has firmly started the team in the starting position of the team in the first season, and averaged 9.2 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game in the regular season.

China's strongest young player, Xun Sinan, has previously received offers from many NCAA prestigious universities, including from NCAA D1 Purdue University. And in the latest 2028 NBA draft simulation forecast, Xun Sinan was selected with the 12th pick in the first round. In this year's U19 Men's Basketball World Cup, Xun Sinan performed well and averaged 11.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 5 blocks per game.

Dear fans, who do you think will make a name for themselves in the NBA with the retirement of Jeremy Lin, the "Light of Chinese"? Will it surpass Jeremy Lin’s achievements?
