"You can never be a sensation by imitating someone."

Guard Jeremy Lin 36, New Taipei, who caused a "yellow sensation" in the NBA in the early 2010s, answered the question, "What should I do to have a player who will make a world sensation in Korea?" Lynn, who plays for New Taipei, who participated in the final four of the East Asian Super League, had an interview with a Korean reporter at Lapu Lapu-Sdom in Cebu, the Philippines, on the 10th.

At the meeting, Lin said, "I think basketball is not a 'technology' but 'art'. Creativity is an important sport. You cannot succeed with 'second person'. Two plus two in basketball means that it can be infinite, not necessarily four." He stressed the importance of creative play.

A Taiwanese-American, Lin played in the NBA from 2011 to 2019 for the New York Knicks, Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Lakers, Charlotte Hornets, Brooklyn and the Atlanta Hawks. Lin's success in the NBA was dramatic as well. He was a rare Asian player in the NBA, so he couldn't join the prestigious basketball school in the U.S. as a scholar. Lin, who was as good as basketball, went to Harvard University Economy major to continue his career.

He joined the NBA after many twists and turns, but he was a candidate. Until the 2010-11 season, he only recorded around two points per game. However, he displayed miraculous performance during the 2011-12 season, writing the story of Cinderella. Lin had the opportunity to play while key players were out for the 2011-12 season, but he played 35 games, posting 14.6 points, 6.2 assists, and 3.1 rebounds per game. Lin, who is 1 meter 90 centimeters tall, had a normal physique, but with the best speed in the league, he roamed around the opponent team, which was dominated by giants measuring 2 meters or more. Lin's performance became a hot topic of conversation around the world.

The American media and fans who were fascinated by his outstanding plays dubbed him "Linsanity." It was a combination of the name Lin and Insanity, which means madness. Moreover, the fact that he graduated from Harvard University, which is a prestigious university in the U.S., helped draw attention. His resume and the fact that he is an uncommon Asian player in the NBA instantly made him a "surprise star." After playing in the Chinese league, Lin has played in New Taipei since last year.

"It's a harsh world where nothing is given free of charge in the NBA. Especially for Asian players, it's a cooler place," Lin said. "In order to compete with world-class players, you have to play creatively." "People have called me 'Yao Ming' since I was young just because I am from Asia where I am good at basketball. If you are satisfied with being compared to a superstar like Yao Ming, you will find it very difficult to grow and succeed. No matter how good a player's skills are, you cannot play better if you imitate him." Yao Ming 44, a tall center with a height of 2m and 29cm, is an NBA legend who was selected as an All-Star eight times while playing for only one team for the Houston Rockets from 2002 to 2011.

Lin is famous for supporting Asian players on a daily basis. "I hope more Asian players will join the NBA. I always support the same Asian players," Lin said in a past U.S. media including ESPN. "I hope the next generation of players who dream of becoming a global sensation in Korea will show their own unique plays," Lin said.  토토사이트
