Lin Crazy 10th Anniversary! Shuhao opens his heart: The pressure of fame makes me want to escape from the past and focus on the future

On February 5, Beijing time, lin crazy 10th anniversary.

10 years ago today, Jeremy Lin scored 25 points, 7 assists, 5 rebounds and 2 steals at home to the Knicks, leading the team to a seven-point advantage. This battle kicked off Lin's madness and changed Jeremy Lin's fate.

Jeremy Lin was already on the verge of being laid off before the outbreak, and a fight with the Nets was his last chance. The reason why Lin's crazy story moves people is that this background is a big reason. Jeremy Lin opened his heart in an interview with the American media "The Ringer" and recalled the glory days of that year.

Jeremy Lin said: "So many things came together at the right time, when I was on the verge of extinction, and my agent called me before the game and told me that if I didn't perform well, this could be my last game in the NBA. I was under tremendous pressure, very nervous, and embarrassed, and if I managed to get into the NBA and slipped away because of my poor performance, it was really hard for me to accept. ”

Fortunately, Jeremy Lin played a stunning performance in a game with the Nets and was able to stay in the team. In the following games, he scored at least 20 points in five consecutive games, including 38 points against the Lakers to make Kobe Bryant explode, and he completed a three-point shoot-off against the Raptors. Lin's crazy story has spread all over the world, and Jeremy Lin's fame has soared, but with fame comes pressure and expectation.

"Everyone wants me to be a superhero, but I'm also an ordinary person, I can't live up to their expectations, as if there are ghosts, shadows hanging over me, I can never do well enough, the expectations of the outside world are too high, which is why I want to escape," Lin admitted.

After leaving the NBA, Jeremy Lin chose to join Beijing Shougang in the CBA League, and in the 2019-20 season, he averaged 22.3 points and 5.6 assists per game, playing a fairly successful season. In the final 2020-21 season, Jeremy Lin chose to return to the United States to pursue his dreams, and he was eager to return to the NBA, so he went to the Warriors Development League's Santa Cruz Warriors, and handed over an average of 19.8 points and 6.4 assists per game, shooting 42.6% from three-point range.

Unfortunately, no NBA team is willing to give Jeremy Lin a chance, and this season Lin is back in the CBA. Recalling the dream-chasing process last season, Jeremy Lin's words were both indignant and relieved, he said: "I gave myself a year to chase dreams, and finally I played 11 games in the development league, and that's it. I want to play, I want to play at a high level, and I get a blank check from a lot of general managers, members of management who say, "You do this, do this, and then we can talk." "But after that, I did, and I couldn't reach them, and they wouldn't even call you back." I gave myself a year to chase my dreams, I did what I had to do, but no matter what I did, I couldn't impress them. So, I made the decision to return to the CBA with peace of mind. ”

Lin's crazy story inspires too many people, but Jeremy Lin does not want to live in the past, he said: "As athletes, we need to have short memories, if we only live in the past, then we can't prepare for the future." 」 My idea is that no matter what happens in the past, the key is what happens next. ”

"Over time, I think people will forget the story of Lin's madness and will stop discussing it." But that's fine, this story has deeply touched a lot of people, and that's enough. ”
