Summarize the story of Jeremy Lin.

Someone said, "Jeremy Lin, a native American and a basketball star from Harvard University, has anything to do with us?" However, China people in Silicon Valley, whether from Chinese mainland or Taiwan Province Province, have totally different feelings about this comment, and they are deeply moved by Jeremy Lin's story. Why is this?

According to media reports, Jeremy Lin, a China basketball defender who is popular in NBA, has become an American legend. White House spokesman Jay Carney said in an interview that the story of Jeremy Lin attracted the attention of President Obama. "He was deeply impressed by Jeremy Lin." "This is a great story. I know that Obama has seen Jeremy Lin's game, and he said the same thing. "

In this regard, we in China have commented, "What does Jeremy Lin's' Great Story' have to do with us?" . The article said, "Jeremy Lin, an American native and a basketball star from Harvard University, has anything to do with us?" "Perhaps, the only thing related to us is Jeremy Lin's ancestral home, which is why we have reason to cheer for it. But Jeremy Lin is not Liu Xiang, let alone Yao Ming. The birthplace of Jeremy Lin's great story is in America, and the characters of Jeremy Lin's great story also originated in America. What's the point of pulling their ancestral home out and cheering for it? "

China people in Silicon Valley, whether from Chinese mainland or Taiwan Province, have completely different feelings from this commentator, and they are deeply moved by Jeremy Lin's story. 1.9 1 m, 90 kg Jeremy Lin is as ordinary as the man next door in the Chinese community in Silicon Valley. 1August 23rd, 988, born in Los Angeles, California. Later, I lived in Palo Alto near Silicon Valley and studied computer science with my parents. The Lins' ancestral home is Jiaxing, Zhejiang, and their ancestors moved to Changhua, Taiwan Province. Their parents immigrated to the United States in the 1960s and 1970s. Most China immigrants to the United States, although some have changed their nationality and some have only green cards, are very concerned about their motherland, especially keeping in touch with China culture. They are well aware of the rise of China, that is, the rising status of Chinese in the United States. They suffer from deep-rooted racial discrimination in the United States, and the yellow race is the object of racial discrimination in sports. Before he became famous, Jeremy Lin was full of remarks about "going back to his hometown".

On the other hand, the success of China people is also very helpful to the image of China. Jeremy Lin's success is not a "Cinderella" story, but an inspirational story of Chinese-American children's success through struggle. His college coach Amak said, "Does he need some luck? Of course. But when the opportunity came, he was ready. He has been fighting for this all his life. " This spirit of struggle is somewhat lacking for Americans today.

After Jeremy Lin graduated from high school, no famous basketball school was willing to admit him, so he had to go to Harvard, which didn't recruit basketball talents. Unexpectedly, Jeremy Lin became the first person to enter the NBA after 1954. However, he still lost in the NBA draft. He recalled: "When I was in the NBA draft, my parents were watching TV, but I was not selected. My family and I bought 150 chicken wings to vent our emotions. But I didn't give up, and then I played well in the summer league and was selected by the Golden State Warriors. In the NBA, what you need is luck, opportunity and waiting. "

After joining the Warriors, his performance was mediocre and he became a "bench player". 20111On February 9th, the Warriors laid him off. Although the rockets announced that they wanted him a few days later, they gave up later. New york Knicks is his third team. On the ground floor, he is not sure how long he can stay in new york. He didn't even rent an apartment, but slept on the sofa with his brother who was studying medicine at new york University. The day before the game against the New Jersey Nets, because he returned to new york late, he simply went to teammate Fields' house to make do for the night. Jeremy Lin later joked that he would buy Fields' sofa because his fate changed from the next day. Before the game on February 5th, the Knicks' two main players were absent at the same time, and head coach Dantoni called Jeremy Lin off the bench, which was already a "dead horse as a living horse doctor". He scored 25 points, 7 assists and 5 rebounds on the spot, which helped the team win and started his magical journey.

I think Jeremy Lin's story will also inspire the sports world in China. Without an excellent point guard, it is difficult for a national basketball team to climb to a higher position than the eighth in the world. China people are characterized by their small size and good flexibility. Therefore, Yao Ming said that he believed that there were many talented players like Jeremy Lin in China, but none of them became talents. He went on to say: "And you must remember that this is not only a physical exercise, but also a confrontation between brain power and will. Jeremy Lin is very clever. From his style, we can see that his banker is very high, and more importantly, his emotional intelligence is also very high. He knows how to get along and communicate with people. " The cultural accomplishment of domestic players really can't be compared with Jeremy Lin. Jeremy Lin's experience from Harvard to NBA shows that the mechanism of training athletes in the United States is worth learning.

It can be seen that the view that "Jeremy Lin's' great story' has nothing to do with us" is a bit narrow?
