CRI听力:The LA Lakers Unveil Jeremy Lin After his Move from the Houston Rockets

2014-07-26来源:CRI

Jeremy Lin has been trotted out publicly by his new team, unveiling his new Los Angeles Lakers no. 17, the uniform number he wore during the time known as Linsanity.

The 25-year-old point guard is looking forward to making "a fresh start", as he tries to help restore the flagging fortunes of one of the NBA's leading franchises.

"I've had the opportunity to play with a few really good players with Carmelo (Anthony), James, James Harden and now Kobe (Bryant). "

"And I think I'll be able to learn a lot from him and he's been there and he's done it and he's won at the highest level and I'm just excited to be able to learn from him, to be honest and see how he approaches everything. "

"Because I've developed like my own, you know made my own structure, my own rhythm of how I approach the season and what my workouts look like but I would love to see how his look like as well."

Lin was acquired by the Lakers earlier this month along with a future first-round pick and a 2015 second-round pick in a trade with the Houston Rockets for the rights to Sergei Lishchuk.

An undrafted and overlooked Ivy League player, he burst onto the scene in his second NBA season with a 25-point, seven-assist performance off the bench against the Nets on Feb. 4, 2012, and went on to total 136 points in his next five starts.

The Taiwan-born American has averaged 11.9 points and 4.8 assists per game over his four seasons in the league.

Lin could well take over as the starting point guard for the Lakers, with veteran Steve Nash having appeared in only 15 games last season due to nerve damage in his back.
