Suffering from injuries and changes in CBA’s foreign aid system, Jeremy Lin experienced a disappointing season in Beijing Shougang last seasonwith an average of only 13.4 points, 3.6 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game, which is completely different from his first arrival in CBA in the 2019-20 season, or taking the team to the semi-finals.

However, during this year’s off-season, Jeremy Lin decided to join the Guangzhou Long-Lions, which still gave hope to the outside world, because the Guangzhou Long-Lions themselves are a team that plays mostly pick-and- roll tactics, and Jeremy Lin seems to be a leader in P&R, so the outside world is pretty optimistic. Both sides can get along well. However, things did not go as planned. After moving to Guangzhou Long-Lions, Jeremy Lin’s playing space is more limited.

Judging from past experience of transferring teams, the amount of space to play is often the primary consideration for Jeremy Lin when choosing an owner, and this rumor of joining the Iron Man appears to be speculation from the outside world that Jeremy Lin might be dissatisfied with the status quo and lead it to germinate The idea of ​​transfer. Behind this rumor, it is worth exploring why the long-awaited Jeremy Lin is now on the bench from Guangzhou Longshibing?

Aging is only the second The unknown location is the main reason for the freezing

First of all it is undeniable that, suffering from various injuries and aging, Jeremy Lin has in fact shown signs of physical deterioration in recent years, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to get rid of the defenders through his proud explosiveness of cutting and departure. . And at the start of CBA’s third season, Jeremy Lin’s common habits and moves have been looked at thoroughly, so teams can formulate defensive strategies more effectively for him.

Furthermore, the CBA call-off standard is relatively broad, so that the defender has more room to interfere with the runner’s operations through small actions andThis season, CBA officials have made the whistle more lenient to “help domestic players adapt to the rigor standards of FIBA ​​international competition.”As a result, the defender stepped up and used the action of walking to the edge of the foul more actively. Jeremy Lin’s physical condition was not as good as previous Jeremy Lin’s, of course, it was harder to break through defensive obstacles.

Compared to aging skills or a change in judgment scale, the issue that has the greatest impact on Jeremy Lin’s performance is the running-in period of pain.

Although seasoned Jeremy Lin hasn’t encountered too many bottlenecks in integrating into the new owner’s tactical system, especially Guangzhou’s offensive system, the defender plays an extremely important role and uses a lot of P&R and Handoff. Jeremy Lin was originally supposed to match this set The system has a pretty good adaptability. The first goal he scored in the warm-up match wearing the Guangzhou Long-Lions jersey was to perform the Guangzhou Zoom Action feature and score a layup (about 0:34 in the video below).

However, due to the short time of collaboration, he and his new teammates didn’t seem to know each other well enough and tacit understanding was poor, which led to frequent faults on the pitch. For example, in the video below (at approximately 1:03 am), Jeremy Lin had originally planned to use the cut to attract help defense to create a gap for his teammate Liu Jiaxin (defender # 12) who he was ambushed on the corner. As a result, Liu Jiaxin thought Jeremy Lin would break through on his own, so he was ready to go for the basket. While fighting for rebounds, he paid no attention to Jeremy Lin’s passes, which resulted in this mistake.

However, Jeremy Lin’s biggest dilemma at this stage is the unclear placement of the role. The table below is a comparison of the playing time of the three foreign players in the Guangzhou Long-Lions. Jeremy Lin’s average playing time is the lowest and, even compared to other local players, he is second from bottom.

Since the CBA’s foreign aid system adopts “four times person in four quarters”, in other words, only one foreign general can remain in the field at most. Therefore, 48 minutes of play must be shared by Jeremy Lin, Nate Mason and Jordan Bell. That is to say, when playing time is limited, the playing time of foreign generals is like a zero-sum game: increasing your own playing time will inevitably lead to a decrease in the playing time of others.
