During his career with the Taiwan Beer club of the Super Basketball League (SBL), Lin has won one Regular Season most valuable player (MVP) award, two back-to-back Championship Series MVP awards, and two scoring champion titles.

Dubbed "The Beast" (野獸) by local media, Lin is renowned for his ability to boost his team's morale by making sensational plays and is among the most beloved basketball players in Taiwan.

Despite being undersized playing the forward position in international tournaments, Lin often starts for the Chinese Taipei national basketball team in place of injury-prone Chen Hsin-an and, at times, is an important scorer.

[1] In September 2009, Lin signed a two-year contract with the Zhejiang Lions in the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) for a monthly salary of $15,000.

During his season in SBL, because of his outstanding jumping ability and his explosiveness, he often creates incredible plays that excites the audience.

The team broke up during his second year, and plus he didn't play much during his rookie season, therefore he did not earn much experience in his high school career.

And during his second year, he joined the Taiwan Beer club of the Super Basketball League (SBL).

During September 2009, Lin Chih-Chieh has declared his transfer and join Zhejiang Lions in Chinese Basketball Association.
