Live broadcast on November 7 recently, Changlin, a player men’s basketball in Shanxi, was interviewed by Liu Chen, a reporter from Beijing News.

Text extract is as follows:

On May 25, Chang Lin announced on social media that he would not renew his contract with Beijing Shougang and was about to leave for transfer. He wrote: “stick to it for the sake of dreams and the basketball you love deeply.”

When this passage was published, Chang Lin had no idea where to go next. Until now, he revealed to the Beijing News reporter that the reason why he wrote down “Persistence is the most difficult” at that time was that he once faced the choice of whether to retire or not. However, the thoughts of “I can still fight” and “it’s too bad to end my sports career like this” were still in my mind, and Chang Lin decided to “go out and have a look”. Shougang’s management also helped him inquire about several teams and made him determined to go to the next stop. It was also a phone call from Yang Xuezeng, the head coach of Shanxi team.

The champion coach once threw an olive branch to Changlin when he was teaching Sichuan men’s basketball. After many years, Changlin is no longer a young man in his twenties, and has even become a marginal person in Shougang. Therefore, he was still very grateful when he recalled the old handsome’s invitation to “come and see” with the Beijing News reporter. At the end of June, when the epidemic prevention and control situation allowed, Changlin went to Taiyuan for trial training. More than half a month later, he represented Shanxi team in the summer league. A series of performances were recognized by the coaching staff and got a two-year C- class contract.

In the past summer, Yan Pengfei, the former main force of Shanxi team, was transferred to Shanghai team. The coaching team hoped that there would be a vacancy on the top of Changlin inside and outside. At first, the outside world was not optimistic about this.

However, less than a month left before the start of the new season, GE Zhaobao, the inner pillar of Shanxi team, suffered a chest and abdomen injury. He received an operation in late September and was expected to be absent for three months. Therefore, Chang Lin received the task of taking the top position to No. 5, which meant that he would appear more in the low position, take the heavy responsibility of internal defense and rebounding, and adapt to the new positioning and competition habits. “For example, reduce the ball holding, and fight with teammates to break, hand in hand, and go smoothly. In the past, it was pulled out to throw three points, but now it has added half a basket and some basket techniques.” Chang Lin introduced that before the season and after entering the competition area, Yang Xuezheng talked to him, “encouraging me to dare to maximize the advantages of good health and strong confrontation.”

After the game between Shanxi team and Jilin team, a peer forwarded the report of “Mr. sanshuang” Chang Lin, writing: “Please ask him to pursue dreams · Chang Lin.” The client gave a like. Green’s name of CBA “Chasing Dreams” gradually spread.

Green is the player Chang Lin appreciates very much. “His story itself is very inspirational. As a second round show, he won four championships and was selected as an all-star by his personal efforts. I am very touched and want to give full play to my energy to help the team build chemical reactions and be a kind of player like green.” Chang Lin said.

In his early years, he followed Shougang to the United States for training and trained in the warrior’s training hall. Chang Lin also took a photo imitating Green’s celebration movements. At that time, he was also wearing the number 23. “I remember that I also said at that time that I wanted to be Shougang’s ‘dream’ green, but unfortunately I couldn’t integrate into Yannis’s system.” Recalling Shougang’s years, Chang Lin felt a little sad.

Just when Chang Lin thought he would drift away from the example, he won the praise of CBA “Chasing Dreams” Green in Shanxi team. “I like everyone to call it that. This is my recognition.” The reason why the outside world compares him to Green who “pursues dreams” is that besides the similar position and playing style, Green is also good at playing balls for teammates actively in the Warrior system, and the defensive end is extremely tough, these are all the styles advocated by Changlin.

Before the season, the Shanxi team and Chang Lin were not optimistic, but the team and himself handed over the results that impressed the outside world in the first stage. The Shanxi team also knows clearly that it is not easy to continue this momentum. “When we were in the competition area, we often said that from the aspects of the intensity of confrontation and the determination to win, we may have played two games with some teams.” Chang Lin revealed that the team stressed at the summary meeting that the second stage will face stronger opponents and stronger targeted deployment of opponents. Therefore, it is necessary to make more difficult preparations and dare to fight.

Speaking of myself, Chang Lin’s goal is very firm, “No matter what I need to do, I will do my best, worthy of the coach, worthy of myself, worthy of every minute on the court.”

—— Finished——

So far this season, Chang Lin has played 9 games for Shanxi team, with an average appearance of 35.2 minutes, and he can get 14.1 points, 11.6 rebounds and 4.7 assists.
