Jeremy Lin's growing experience fully conforms to the elements of Hollywood's "American Dream":

Constant setbacks,

The contempt of others,

Persist in adversity,

Opportunity appears on the edge of the cliff,

A blockbuster,

This is known all over the world. ...

Is there a crazier script than this?

Jeremy Lin's growth experience is too tortuous and legendary, and everything conforms to the elements of Hollywood's shaping of the "American Dream": constant setbacks, contempt for others, persistence in adversity, and opportunities on the edge of a cliff, which are a blockbuster.

Jeremy Lin is 1.9 1m tall and weighs 90kg, which is infinitely close to "us". His new york Knicks was just a lousy team. In addition, before Jeremy Lin made his fortune, the Knicks had a record of 15 defeats this season. Jeremy Lin himself is just a "bench player", and he even has a disgraceful record of being laid off twice.

The turning point of all this happened on February 4th, when the new york Knicks played against the New Jersey Nets at home, and the Knicks' main force was injured, which gave Jeremy Lin a chance to play temporarily. This unremarkable Asian NBA player not only seized this precious opportunity, but also performed surprisingly well. What's more, he also pursued victory out of control, completely washing away the shame of the team's previous seven-game losing streak. Now, Jeremy Lin's outstanding performance has doubled the value of the Knicks, a very ordinary NBA team, and also made the head coach of this team, who was already facing class, glow with "second spring".

There is no foreshadowing, no warning, just like a "supernova" explosion: in the recent game, Jeremy Lin led the Knicks to the longest seven-game winning streak in the season. His brave performance even made Obama full of praise. In the NBA world where there is no shortage of "magic", the realistic version of "Cinderella" fairy tale staged by Jeremy Lin still makes people feel incredible.

We can't help asking: Why did all this happen to Jeremy Lin? What does the "Jeremy Lin miracle" bring us?

Why Jeremy Lin?

In the eyes of many fans, Jeremy Lin is a model of the Book of Changes, in which the implied lines are the dream of "I will succeed as long as I work hard". In addition, the Confucian quality of "being sage inside and being king outside" has also been well explained by Jeremy Lin: excellent in character and learning, and all-round development of morality, intelligence, physique, beauty and labor. He can make progress in his studies, be admitted to the prestigious Harvard University, and love basketball. He can also make himself shine in the world, seize the opportunity and soar through hard and serious training. What is more commendable is that he is humble and never greedy for merit.

Jeremy Lin will be confident and firm in everything he does. He has a generous personality, and even the school PE teacher can hardly overwhelm him in the confrontation in high school. He has been watching videos and asking his eldest brother for advice. In addition, he only changed two coaches in high school, so his skills and playing time improved rapidly, which made people around him stunned.

At the Chinese Games in San Francisco in 2003, his father Lin served as the coach of the Bay Area High School United, and he will play the final with the San Jose High School United. The center in San Jose is about 1.9 meters tall, which makes many children daunting. The dominance and lethality of the insider is the number one weapon for San Jose to enter the finals. But he was the only one who didn't scare Jeremy Lin. He was the second son of a coach in the Gulf region. In the final, Jeremy Lin flew up and down, giving full play to his hard training skills. At the end of the game, all the fans stood up. As soon as Jeremy Lin got the ball, he shouted rhythmically, "Iverson! Iverson! " Jeremy Lin became more and more brave, and finally led the team to win the men's basketball championship at the Chinese Games that year.

Jeremy Lin is convinced that opportunities are only reserved for those who are prepared. He can seize the opportunity because he always trains hard. Last summer, Jeremy Lin took his younger brother to visit Dongguan Basketball School. On the night of arrival, Jeremy Lin took his brother to the basketball court to practice. Later, he was invited by the head coach of Dongguan team to participate in the Asian Basketball Challenge. At that time, Jeremy Lin's knee injury had not healed, but he still insisted on practicing three times a day. He usually takes two basketballs with him for business activities so that he can train at any time.

There are many such examples. Last year, Jeremy Lin went to Wuhan to promote the Wuhan Asian Championships. The following is his day schedule: 8: 00-1 1: 00, there is ball training in the indoor basketball court of Wuhan University; 1 1-12, the strength room exercises strength. 14, Wuhan University indoor basketball court has ball training; Before dinner, continue to go to the strength room of the hotel; After dinner, if you have enough time, continue to practice strength. ...

Jeremy Lin and his younger brother, who plays in the American high school league, said, "There are too many talented but lazy people in the world. Thank them. They give us people who have no talent a chance because we will work hard. "

It is worth noting that from obscurity to fame, Jeremy Lin has always remained humble. When he was laid off, he always conveyed friendliness and thanked his old club for giving him valuable interview opportunities. Today, he is still humble and refuses to speak ill of those who are not good to him.

After seven consecutive victories, Jeremy Lin did not lead the team to victory. He told the media after the game, "I didn't perform well in this game and didn't control the ball carefully enough, so as the main ball handler of the team, I made nine mistakes and the team couldn't win." Generally speaking, I don't control the ball well, so the responsibility for losing is on me. " Jeremy Lin's performance has been recognized by his opponents. Vasquez, a member of the Hornets, commented on Jeremy Lin: "He is really great. I appreciate his passion, but what I admire more is that he has always been modest, so everything he has now is worthwhile because he has never lost himself. "

What influence did his parents have on him?

Enlightenment: In the process of children's growth, parents' influence on children is very important. Jeremy Lin's parents let their children do what they are good at and want to do, respect and support their dreams, and are not utilitarian or arbitrary. More importantly, they teach children how to face setbacks.

Jeremy Lin was born in pinghu city, Zhejiang, and his ancestral home is Changhua, Taiwan Province. His father Lin and his mother immigrated to the United States from Taiwan Province Province in 1970s. His family has basketball genes, and his father Lin is a computer engineer and an NBA fan. At the age of five, Jeremy Lin began to contact basketball. He was taken to the YMCA to participate in the children's basketball league. However, he did not fall in love with basketball at first sight. "That season, he spent half the game standing in the middle of the court sucking his thumb." Josh Lin, a brother four years older than him, recalled.

Then my mother stopped watching him play. Jeremy Lin begged his mother to return to the sideline. She promised to help her son as long as he changed his attitude. "He immediately said," I will try my best to score. "Josh revealed that the mother really went, and the younger brother also got the highest score that can be obtained under the children's competition rules.

The story may be interrupted at any time from the beginning. The first obstacle is Jeremy Lin's mother, who immigrated to the United States in the 1970s and has always adhered to the traditional Taiwanese educational philosophy, urging Jeremy Lin to practice the piano more and become a doctor in the future. Fortunately, Lin's father insisted on doing what he was interested in. "I don't want to train him to be a professional player at all. If he said he didn't like the sport, then I wouldn't force him to do these things. "

Although Lin is only 1.67 meters tall, he is crazy about basketball. Lin used various methods to cultivate children's interest in basketball and formulated a strict tutor system. Lin Jie firmly believes that success comes from a solid foundation. From this age, these skills will be deeply rooted in their muscles.

Like many of our parents, Jeremy Lin's family instilled a lot of knowledge and skills into their children when they were very young, and sometimes it was just their own dreams. Fortunately, Jeremy Lin's father is crazy about basketball and respects his children's choices. Most importantly, after cultivating the child's interest, he persisted in rain or shine.

In high school, although he had American citizenship, discrimination and ridicule always accompanied Jeremy Lin. Facing the wronged son, his father Lin told him: "Even if someone criticizes you, you should keep calm and never get angry. As long as you win the game, people will naturally respect you. " Jeremy Lin did it.

Children encounter setbacks and feel inferior, which is the only process of growth and the turning point of growth. The process of facing and overcoming setbacks is also the process of establishing children's personality and personality. What Lin said to his son is quite meaningful. First of all, he should keep calm and don't let other people's words irritate him. Secondly, the best way to fight them back is their own performance. Some parents always provide all kinds of material security for their children. When children are insulted, they want to "stand out", but they miss the best opportunity to educate their children.

At first, Jeremy Lin was eager to prove himself. He spends almost all his spare time on basketball. However, in his first season, Jeremy Lin's average playing time was only 18 minutes, averaging 4.8 points per game, which was mediocre.

Lin educates his son: "Don't rush for success. You are a Harvard student first, and completing your studies is your primary responsibility. " "Haste makes waste", at this time, Jeremy Lin realized the profound significance of this China idiom. He began to allocate his study and training time reasonably. When he is studying, he must devote himself wholeheartedly to his study. When you are tired of studying, you sweat like rain on the basketball court, so that learning and playing can complement each other. Not only that, he also became the editor of Harvard University newspaper. In the second season, the playing time soared to 3 1 minute, averaging 12.6 points. In the fourth season, Jeremy Lin has become the absolute main force, ranking first in scoring, assists and steals.

Today, Jeremy Lin has conquered American basketball. Those who once scoffed at him became his fans, and he finally won back his dignity with his achievements. Although he has experienced many twists and turns in the palace of basketball, his life creed taught by his father has always supported him.

What kind of growth space is there?

Enlightenment: Non-utilitarian training and education create more room for growth; The success of an NBA player who graduated from Harvard makes people have to re-examine the important role of "learning" in the development of "career".

As a native American, Jeremy Lin is a standard American "made". However, the "raw materials" come from China. The same black hair and yellow skin, not too tall. But it is such an ordinary person who can become a hero today. Why?

It is Lin Shuhao's characteristic to train hard and play in the right way. He has a yellow body, but he grew up in America, and his consciousness, habits and way of thinking were all influenced by American basketball culture. From the game, we can see that he has been communicating with his teammates, which not only makes him win the trust of his teammates faster, but also makes him better connect his teammates as a point guard.

"Jeremy Lin's basic skills are very good, thanks to strict training since childhood." The coach commented on Jeremy Lin. Jeremy Lin's movements are very standardized and his skills are very solid. Under the American sports system, there is not much utilitarian color, which also gives Jeremy Lin more room for growth.

In addition to Jeremy Lin's own efforts and the influence of his family, the influence of the environment is also very important to him. In the United States, sports are just an interest for children. Before they come into contact with various sports, they must first complete the corresponding school education step by step, and then they can establish their own development direction in the process of growing up and decide whether to embark on the career path of athletes according to their own characteristics. For American athletes, their "studies" and "careers" have always been closely linked.

From a cultural point of view, Jeremy Lin's life is simple, his thoughts are simple, and his love for this cause is heartfelt. It can also be said that his thinking concept and cultural habits were gradually developed in this culture from an early age. These things are the basis for his real practice to this extent. Therefore, the love of basketball should be established from the cultural concept and environmental influence of childhood.

I hope that behind the "fairy tale" that Jeremy Lin became famous overnight, more people will make changes. We expect China to have a "Jeremy Lin" that truly belongs to us.
