Through all my career failures, setbacks and injuries. Through the pain of being traded, cut and having no offers. Through the depths of global embarassment, unmet expectations and crushed dreams. Through it all, I found myself a year ago battered - carrying so much emotional baggage. 我們愛跟小孩子說勇於追夢，卻很少談到如何面對恐懼。說真的，恐懼就像頭巨獸。 它無聲中襲擊了我，在我生涯中無數的失敗、低潮、傷病中，在被裁掉、沒有合約的 痛苦中，在失望和夢碎的深淵中。經過這些，一年前的我差不多被擊垮－－背負了 太多情緒的重擔。 I signed in the CBA, it took a whole season, but God really came through for me. He taught me how to play to win again vs playing to not lose. To know the shots going in vs hoping its going in. To dream big again vs thinking everythings a setup for disappointment. To be a killer on the court with the talent He gave me 100% for His glory. 我進了CBA，一整季，上帝真的陪伴我度過。祂教導我如何勝利而非怕輸，如何相信自己 能投進而非膽怯，如何再次勇於夢想而非怪罪環境的宿命。祂教導我如何100%為了祂的 榮耀，使用他給我的天賦在球場上成為猛將。 This isn't about chasing the shadow of Linsanity. Or proving anyone right or wrong. Or about money, fame, reputation or power. It's about God's glory and kingdom. It's about goin right at all my past traumas and fears, instead of being forever crippled by them. It's ultimately about when I see God face-to-face that I could say through HIS strength, I lived with big big faith. 這不是要追逐Linsanity的陰影，或去證明誰對誰錯，或為了賺得多少錢、名聲、權力。 這是關於上帝的榮耀和國度。這是因為我要正面對決我一切曾經的傷病和恐懼，而不是 一直被它們限制。這更是關於當有天我和上帝面對面的時候，我能大聲說因祂的能力我 曾經活出無比的信心。 I couldn't sleep right for 3 weeks with this decision weighing over me. I was brought to tears trying to verbalize the struggle to my family. I analyzed facts, but the reality is that faith ultimately comes down to taking a step towards what you can't see yet. 我失眠三個禮拜，因為這個決定壓在我心上。試著對我家人訴說我的掙扎時，我忍不住 淚水。我曾試著分析各種因素，但事實上最終是那份信心，讓我能對看不見的未來踏出 一步。 Despite being beyond grateful with sooo much that the CBA, China, and all my Asia fans gave me this past season, today I decided to not return to the Beijing Ducks next season. Instead I will be waiting for free agency and preparing myself for the NBA — and continuing my greatest dream. And maybe the result is a footnote, and this decision today was the true test. 雖然我超級感恩過去一年中CBA、中國、還有亞洲的粉絲所給我的一切，但我今天決定 下個球季不會回到北京首鋼。我會準備回NBA，等候成為自由球員－－繼續追尋我最大 的夢想。或許結果是個註腳 (不太確定意思)，今天這個決定將是個真實的考驗。 New chapter, new mindset, new me. Work smarter, aim higher, reach further. And smile along the way! 2 Timothy 1:7 #FaithOverFear 提摩太後書 1:7 「因為神賜給我們，不是膽怯的心，乃是剛強、仁愛、謹守的心。」 --
