The basketball world has always had high expectations that the Chinese men's basketball team can bring in Jeremy Lin, a strong guard player, to improve the overall level of the team. However, despite Lin's expressed desire to join the Chinese team, we can't ignore that he is still an American, and his words and actions are deeply influenced by American culture, and there are significant differences between Chinese players.
As much as we would like to see him play for China, he has actually chosen to join the Chinese Basketball Professional League (CBA) to serve the fans. However, it's no surprise that he hasn't been outstanding in the CBA. Because the CBA usually pays more attention to those outside players who have the ability to score, and Jeremy Lin's ability to organize teams is not his strength in the CBA.
Another factor that should not be overlooked is that the young Jeremy Lin has passed his prime. In the NBA, he can only be regarded as a second-rate player, and he cannot lead the team to easy wins on his own. Therefore, his poor performance in the CBA cannot be entirely attributed to his age, but more to his lack of strength.
However, it is a pity that after Jeremy Lin became the focus of fans' attention, he also suffered fierce criticism from opponents. Even if he has excellent individual ability, after all, basketball is a team sport, and it is impossible to lead the whole team to victory alone.
Still, I think Jeremy Lin is a very good basketball player. His shooting skills and playmaking skills earned him numerous accolades and achievements during his prime.
His career is a testament to his talent and hard work, and he has left many memorable moments for the fans.
For the Chinese men's basketball team, we need to recognize the reality and rationally evaluate and use the available resources. The addition of Jeremy Lin will undoubtedly enhance the team's competitiveness, but we can't just rely on him alone. We need to build a complete basketball system, develop more young players, and strengthen the team as a whole.
The Chinese men's basketball team needs to be improved at the overall institutional and tactical level, and this is not a goal that can be achieved in a short period of time. We need to have patience and a process to gradually improve the competitiveness of the team. Only then will we be able to achieve better results on the international stage, rather than just relying on the quality of individual players.
