When I first entered high school, Jeremy Lin was just a thin player with a height of 1.60 meters and a weight of 56.7 kilograms, which was nothing at all. But in the last year of high school, he has grown to 1.85 meters, and led Palo Alto High School to win the second-class championship in Massachusetts, forcing Notre Dame High School, a famous American basketball high school, to bow down, and Jeremy Lin himself made his debut. In addition, unlike most talented basketball players, Jeremy Lin's academic performance is very good, and he even got full marks in the mathematics entrance examination of American universities.
Although Jeremy Lin is the best player in the second year of high school in Northern California, he is still looked down upon when applying for the scholarship of NCAA (American Basketball University League) first-class school. Because the coaches of those famous schools don't believe that an Asian student can achieve great things. According to statistics, at present, Asian students account for only 4% of NCAA schools in American universities.
Jeremy Lin doesn't want to play for two famous NCAA schools, University of Kansas or University of Kentucky. He only sent his resume and DVD engraved with the highlights of the competition to all eight Ivy League schools, Stanford University in California and UCLA, where he dreamed of joining, and got replies from four schools. For his two target universities in the Pacific Ten Schools Alliance, Jeremy Lin recalled that UCLA was "not interested at all" and Stanford University was "hypocritical"; The person accepted by Stanford University "pronounced my last name as' Lun'".
After four years of hard work, Jeremy Lin has made small achievements now, and he has also made college coaches who look down on him take "regret medicine". "Looking back now," Kelly Keating, a former assistant coach at UCLA and now coach of the basketball team at Santa Clara University, told the San Francisco Chronicle, "Jeremy Lin was probably the starting point guard at UCLA."
Recently, for seven consecutive games, Jeremy Lin, a boy from China, has inspired all the people in the world, and even those who don't usually watch the NBA know this guy who has become very popular recently. Even when classmates chat and ridicule, they all say that if they want to buy a house in Beishangguangshen and Shenzhen, they will explode like Jeremy Lin one day.
Indeed, Lin's recent performance can only be described as NB. Breaking the highest scoring record of Harvard players in the NBA, top players continued to fight bravely when they came off the bench for more than 20 points. In the first double-double, the Lakers scored 38 points and 7 assists more than Kobe. In the last game, they played 20+ in six consecutive games and 10+ 13 in 26 minutes, and set their own single-game assist record ... The miracle continues.
We can imagine a sudden outbreak of a person, but no one would have thought it would be so thorough. From a water cooler keeper running around with an unsecured contract, he jumped to the star of the week, the top ace player in the league. It seems that we can't convince ourselves for any reason. NBA scouts can't be vegetarian. Why haven't they found such a promising player for so long? I tried to sum up the causes of forest outbreaks:
First of all, Lin has been constantly training to improve himself. In the second scene where he broke out, I watched the previous movie "A Day of Jeremy Lin". Although he is only a substitute, he keeps exercising and constantly improves his strength. He himself said that he didn't play for others, nor did he want to break records, but he liked and did what he liked. No matter how difficult the situation was, he didn't give up and insisted on working hard for his ideal.
Secondly, Lin plays ball with his brain. Many players are gifted, but their development is seriously restricted by their low basketball IQ. Lin is a smart man, and he can get 2300+ on the SAT! What is the concept of SAT2300+ score? Everyone has heard the story of Liu Yiting, a Harvard girl. Ten years ago, she was admitted to Harvard with a score of 1800, but Lin was 500 points higher than her! Of course, the SAT scores of high school students are getting higher and higher now, and the SAT scores of students admitted to Harvard are all above 2200. But how many famous athletes in China scored more than the northern line of Tsinghua? Harvard, Brown University and other ivy league schools have sent letters of admission to Lin, which fully shows that Lin's IQ is extremely high, which is very helpful for his subsequent development in the NBA. The constantly refreshing number of assists just illustrates this problem.
Third, Lin chose the right team. If Jeremy Lin stays in Warriors or Rockets, he may only be a water dispenser goalkeeper all his life. The Warriors have Curry and Ellis in the backcourt, and the Rockets have Lori and dragic. These are the new stars that the team is trying to cultivate. Of the two teams, Lin must only play during garbage time. There is an old saying in China that the tree moves the dead and the living, and the forest reaches the Knicks. The Knicks, who are short of generals, are catching up with the team's two big-name stars Stoudemire and Anthony, who are unable to play one after another or at the same time due to injuries. Lin, who has unlimited fire power at once, seized the opportunity and quickly took the lead. This is an era when the center is scarce and the point guard is blowout. The point guard with the ball right has good physical fitness, long range and is easy to break out.
Finally, the schedule played a role in fueling the situation. Lin first played against the weak Nets at home, then played against the jazz who were not so strong at home, and then played against the Wizards' Fish at home. The opponents in these games were not so good, which gave Lin time to adapt. Today, I completely watched the video highlights of Lin's seven consecutive games. The first time I watched the second game, although Lin was 25+, he felt like a "civilian layup" and there was no technical difficulty. The opponent's defense was not very good, so he easily walked to the basket and picked up the ball. Needless to say, except near the free throw line, dunks and jumpers are overdone. Only in this way, he is doomed to be a flash in the pan. There is no point guard without dunk, and it won't be a few games in today's NBA. But when I saw the third game, there was a scene of Lin dunking, and then a three-pointer came, and there was even a winner of 0.5 seconds! Yao has been in the NBA for so many years, only one quasi-lore was won by Roy, and Lin actually staged a lore after only a few games! Since playing for the Lakers, Lin has developed in an all-round way and can do anything. Now he has completely let go, physically fighting 2+ 1, changing direction continuously, scoring various pick-and-roll jumpers and playing like a duck to water.
Looking at the score at lunch today, Lin only got 10. I still feel sorry. I watched the video when I came back from work at night, only to find that today's forest is even more invincible. Dribbling to the basket, sliding the bottom line still can't find a chance to continue to come out. This scene, which only Paul and Nash saw, actually appeared on Lin. There are all kinds of wonderful passes and assists in the air relay, all kinds of hand-handed inside passes after the breakthrough, and all kinds of large-scale transfers after the sudden point. Today's assists are completely created opportunities, unlike the first two games, which were all brushed by teammates. And it's amazing how little time you play and how efficient you are.
The miracle of Lin continues. Hao, who lost zero, led the Knicks to a seven-game winning streak, making them 8 wins 15 losses and now have a shooting percentage of 50%. Starting from countless coincidences, Lin continued to write his own legend. He not only gave Asian brothers in the United States a shot of stimulant, but also set an example for Huang Weibing, and also gave countless ordinary people a vision to realize their dreams. Whether Lin's future will continue to triumph, or whether he will be an ordinary player after his fever has gone down, his performance in recent games is enough to be an inspirational story. I wish Linyue more and more outstanding, and wish all the ugly ducklings and Cinderella in the world complete their transformation as soon as possible!
