He said, from want to go to can go, finally joined, the mood is very complex. Accompanied by Yan Jiahua, head coach of Taiwan beer, and Chen Jianzhou, deputy team leader, Lin Zhijie held a press conference at Nike Taiwan in the morning. Lin Zhijie said that he wanted to play in CBA when he was in this year's William Jones Cup International Basketball Invitational Tournament. Because the formation, strength and experience of Guangxia team are better than others, he wanted to go to Guangxia team to test his ability. In response to Lin Zhijie's desire to play in the CBA, the Taiwan Basketball Association also held a meeting of its executive directors on the 17th. After many discussions, Lin Zhijie was agreed to go to the CBA for development. Lin Zhijie said that he didn't expect that the basketball association would let it go. He thought it would not be successful. In this process, his mood was very complicated. From the impatience in the negotiation process to the surprise and happiness in knowing the result, I was very happy to have this satisfactory answer. As for the salary, Yan Jiahua said that based on the confidentiality clause, he could only disclose that Lin Zhijie's monthly salary exceeded US $15000, which was beyond the original expectation; the contract also stated that when the Chinese Taipei team recruited Lin Zhijie, it was necessary to release him unconditionally.

Lin Zhijie promised that he would continue to maintain a serious attitude and work harder to win good results for Guangxia team after he arrived at CBA.

Outstanding performance and big contract

On the afternoon of June 6, 2014, Guangxia men's basketball team announced through the official microblog that they had completed the renewal of their contract with Lin Zhijie, and the two sides signed a three-year contract, the contract amount was not disclosed.

But according to Apple Daily, Lin's last contract with Guangxia men's basketball team paid about 2 million yuan (about NT $9.6 million) a year. According to relevant information, Lin Zhijie's annual salary under his new contract has exceeded NT $10 million.

Practicing loyalty for seven years and turning "beast" into "soul"

Who is the most successful Taiwan player in CBA? If Lin Zhijie is put on the list of candidates, I believe there will not be too many people against him. Although Zhejiang Guangxia has never entered the CBA finals, and it is difficult to even pass the first round of the playoffs in recent years, this does not prevent Lin Zhijie from being identified as a "high-quality player". This is Lin Zhijie's seventh season for Zhejiang Guangsha. The last contract between the two sides expired in 14 years. Liu Quansheng, the general manager of the club, once revealed that it took only five minutes to renew his contract with Lin Zhijie. On the one hand, it shows that Lin Zhijie is a loyal player. On the other hand, it shows that his ability and role are still very important for Zhejiang Guangsha. He is even called "soul" by the top management of the club. Lin Zhijie is an AMI. The fans give him a friendly nickname "AMI soldier". Of course, we hear most about the more enthusiastic "beast". Li Chunjiang, the head coach of Guangsha, Zhejiang, often calls him "beast". In the past seven seasons, Lin Zhijie's average playing time in each season has reached about 35 minutes, which is higher than many foreign players in CBA. His performance is no less than that of foreign aid. In the first 11 rounds of the regular season, he contributed 20 points and sent 3.3 assists per game for the team, only ranking behind Pago, the little foreign aid, and ranked second among local players with an average of 5.4 rebounds per game. It is worth mentioning that Lin Zhijie's score and rebounds are the highest since he joined the CBA, and his score ranks second among non foreign players this season. Lin Zhijie has two wishes
