Jeremy Lin is the underdog story of the modern NBA. We’re talking about a
Harvard graduate with NBA talent, but for whatever reason can’t seem to
scratch the starting line up for a contending team.
He has the talent to do so. He just needs to have faith.
Faith, is a big part of Jeremy Lin. He believes and trusts in God.
JLin是一个小人物在现代NBA出头的励志故事，是的，我们在谈论的是一个拥有哈佛学历
和NBA天赋的人。但由于一些原因他无法待在一个强队的先发阵容中，但他有天赋待着，
他需要的只是信念。信念，是JLin本身一个重要的组成部分，他相信信任上帝。
Faith in himself, is exactly what Jeremy Lin needs. We know he has talent.
He’s bigger than most point guards in the NBA. We know he can run the
pick-and-roll with proper spacing, and make excellent decisions with the
basketball. We know he can blow by defenders and shoot the three accurately
enough to keep defenders honest. We know he’s an above average passer, who
is likely to be the only guy who throws Wesley Johnson lobs from halfcourt
with success.
We know this about Lin.
相信他自己正是现在JLin所需要的，他自己知道他有天份，他的身材比NBA大部分的控卫
还要高大，他知道他可以创造空间执行挡拆，他能在篮球比赛里做出最好的判断。我们
都知道他能甩掉防守者，他的三分能让防守者乖乖地待着。他有着高于平均水准的传球
能力，他是唯一能传球让Wesley Johnson灌篮的球员。这些我们都知道。
So, what does Lin need to do? This is a different kind of test for Jeremy.
After watching his “Linsanity” documentary and answer questions through
the media, we know he constantly challenges himself on trying to be better,
be perfect. It’s not a reasonable expectation.
What is reasonable, is stepping onto the floor and laying it all out. Is
that Kobe Bryant challenging you on defense in practice? Is he facing you up?
Don’t settle for the jumpshot Jeremy. Attack him. Push off with the left
arm. This is a team practice. Kobe Bryant can take it. He’s trying to pull
this aggression out of you.
So attack.
所以，Lin到底需要什么? 现在对他是个不同类型的试炼。他在"Linsanity"纪录片中回
答问题时知道，他正在不断地挑战自己让自己更好更完美。这并不是个合理的期望。
什么是合理的? 就是走到场上去表现出来。这个就是Kobe Bryant在练习时挑战你的东西?
别满足于跳投，攻击他，用左手去推开他，这是一个练习赛Kobe可以接受的，他在试着
将你的侵略性激发出来。所以，攻击吧!
Who cares if you miss? Who cares if you’re met by a brick wall at the rim?
The point is, you’re trying to get to the rim. No one should be able to
stop you, not even yourself.
If Kobe does it again, just run him over. He’ll respect you for it. It sends
a message.
The next time you attack, you’ll have better success.
Jeremy Lin has the talent. He just needs to keep the faith.
失投又怎样? 被盖又怎样? 重点是你正在试着攻击篮框，没有人包括你自己都无法阻挡。
如果Kobe再来挑战一次那么就把他辗过，他会更尊敬你。下次他再攻击你，你就会更进步
。JLin有着足够的天分，他只需要-保持信念。

实力的肯定。
