Media person: Jeremy Lin proves that the physical body of the Asian defender can play in the NBA, giving Asian defenders hope

August 31, Jeremy Lin updated his social media and announced his retirement, ending his 15-year career.

Basketball commentator Wang Meng talked about this on social media: "Lin's story is like a dream. But it is definitely not a flash in the pan.

"In the memories of many people, Jeremy Lin's highlight moment seems to be those few weeks. Especially for those who have not really experienced that story, it seems that what is worth remembering is those few clips. He ruled Madison, he challenged Kobe, he faced the Raptors' final kill, and then spit out his blue tongue dyed with functional drinks...

Not only that, Jeremy Lin's story has never been like this.

"First of all, he proved that the body of Asian people and the body of Asian defenders can play in the NBA. His career has 9 years, which can be compared with Yao Ming's NBA career length. He played 480 games, averaged 11.6 points and 4.6 assists in his career. If Yao Ming is the peak of Chinese center and gave his juniors dreams and hopes, Jeremy Lin is the source of hope for all defenders.

"Secondly, he proved that the NBA world is full of misunderstandings. The Rockets management confessed in an interview that Jeremy Lin has always stood out in their prediction mechanism, but they do not have the courage to use draft picks, or even first-round draft picks, on a Chinese player with mediocre athleticism. Their big data is an ironclad fact, but they just dare not break traditional cognition. It was not until Jeremy Lin broke out that they finally believed their initial judgment, so they later gave Jeremy Lin a considerable contract and a starting point guard position.

"Later, the NBA world believed in Jeremy Lin. Many Chinese children who like to play also believed in themselves more.

"Jeuro Lin retired today, but Lin's crazy story can be told for a long time. You may only remember those few clips. But in addition, I hope more friends should remember that he proved that the Asian body can gain his position in the top-level world of competition. Not only in the Knicks for those weeks, he played 480 NBA games, started 221 games, played a total of 12,218 minutes, scored 5,567 points, and sent 2,042 assists.

"He is great enough!!"
