【新唐人2012年2月21日訊】過去一週，「籃球小子」林書豪的炫風橫掃全球。據《福布斯》雜誌估計，23歲的林書豪的品牌價值已經竄升到1400萬美元，在全世界運動員中排名第六，是世界上品牌價值增長最快的運動員。有著華裔背景和亞洲面孔的他，再次引發人們的討論：中國能否「製造」出一個林書豪?
20號，林書豪再次以耀眼的球技，征服美國職籃(NBA)紐約尼克隊主場的所有球迷。不管是助功或抄截，切入或長射，都讓人驚喜，他所表現的已經不單單是球技，而是讓籃球活了起來。
作爲近半個世紀以來NBA的第一個「哈佛」畢業生，林書豪所創造出來的傳奇故事，讓不少籃球迷對他的成功故事倒背如流。出生在美國加州的林書豪，父親林繼明和母親吳信信來自台灣。這樣一位有著華裔背景的「哈佛小子」的爆紅，也再次引來人們對中國運動員培養體制的反思。
美國《時代週刊》記者漢娜•貝茨撰文發問：中國能否「製造」出一個林書豪? 貝茨認為，就目前而言幾乎不可能，因爲中國並不看重球員對籃球的熱情，而像林書豪這樣的控球與防衛的位置，最需要創造性，往往在中國體育系統中被磨滅了。
前中國籃球國手陳凱指出，由於中國的「舉國體制」，運動員可能被任意拋棄，這讓中國隊員非常害怕承擔責任。
陳凱：「（在中國）每個隊員上場後都是小心翼翼如履薄冰，生怕犯了甚麼錯誤。但是在籃球運動裡面，關鍵時候你（得）敢撒手，關鍵時候你（得）敢投這個籃。（而）當一個文化進入這樣一種狀態的時候，每個人都想逃避自己個體責任的時候，他怎麼能打出好球來呢？這個是一個非常深刻的文化原因。」
林書豪的成功被評爲帶有明顯的美國特色，是靠個人奮鬥成功的典型。而陳凱指出，舉國體制的體育是一種病態體育。
陳凱：「它整個體制是消滅個體激情的，消滅個體的認同，消滅個體對運動、對任何事物的愛好，包括人的愛好。（而）林書豪這個人他是真正熱愛這個運動的，他打球是非常激情的、投入的，30分鐘40分鐘，他都是拚命打。所以體育這個東西，它是一種社會文化的反射。」
尼克隊教練狄安東尼(Mike D’Antoni) 受訪時，描述林書豪說：「他的內心世界十分巨大。」而林書豪在接受台灣媒體採訪時，表明信仰對他很重要。
陳凱：「有信仰的人不對自己撒謊。當你不對自己撒謊的時候，你打球的時候，你就會把注意力集中在打球上面，而不是集中在對自己找藉口上面。你像林書豪有時候打球會犯錯誤，犯錯誤沒關係，有信仰的人相信自己可以在這裡面學習，可以進步。我覺得這是非常非常重要的。一個人如何打球反映他如何生活。」
美國蘋果電腦創始人喬布斯是一位佛教徒，去年喬布斯逝世時，有人提出觀點認爲，做一個人應該要有信仰才能夠成功，但中國卻很少有那樣的宗教信仰，所以「中國沒有喬布斯」。
目前在中國個人信仰不僅不能受到法律保護，人們還可能隨時為了堅持信仰而失去自由和生命。

Can China Have Its Own Lin Shuhao?
In the past week, the “Basketball Boy” Lin Shuhao news
are spreading around the world.
Forbes magazine estimates the brand value of the 23-year-old
Lin had jumped to $14 million, ranking sixth in the world.
His athlete’s brand value is the fastest growing
in the world at the moment.
Having Chinese background, he once again made people
discuss whether China can “create” its own Lin Shuhao?
On February 20th, Lin Shuhao once again inspired the fans
of the host NBA field, New York Knicks.
Assist, steals, cut-in or long shot, each of them were amazing.
His play was not just skills, but it made the basketball alive.
Lin Shuhao is the first Harvard’ graduate in NBA
for nearly half a century.
The legend Lin Shuhao have created makes many basketball
fans know his success story well.
Lin Shuhao was born in California, US, with his father
Lin Jiming and mother Wu Xinxin coming from Taiwan.
With this background and being on focus, the “Harvard boy”
makes people reflect on the Chinese sport’s system again.
Hannah Bates, Times’s reporter in the US, asked in an article,
can China “create” someone like Lin Shuhao?
Bates believes this is now almost impossible, as China
does not value the enthusiasm of the players in basketball.
However, Lin Shuhao’s skills of ball control and defense
need creativity, which is eroding in Chinese sport’s system.
Chen Kai, a former Chinese basketball national team player,
shared his view in the issue.
Chen pointed out that China’s nationwide sport’s system
is such that it can arbitrarily dismiss athletes.
This makes the Chinese players feel very insecure
and not ready to take responsibilities.
Chen Kai: “(Chinese) players are like skating on a thin ice,
for fear of making mistakes.
But in the basketball sport you should dare make the move
at the right moment, you should dare shoot a basket.
When the culture is that everyone wants to avoid
responsibility, how can he play basketball well? This is a very deep cultural reason.”
Lin’s success was rated with clear American characteristics.
It’s a typical success that depends on the individual’s effort.
However, Chen Kai pointed out that a sport’s system,
which is nationwide but centrally controlled is a sick one.
Kai Chen: “Its whole system is to eliminate person’s passion,
to eradicate individual’s recognition, hobbies, sports, etc.
And Lin Shuhao, he really loves this sport.
He plays basketball very passionately and is devoted.
Whether 30 or 40 minutes, he just loves to play.
So sports are a reflection of the social culture.”
When Knicks coach Mike D’Antoni was interviewed,
he said that Lin Shuhao’s inner world is very great.
And when Lin Shuhao was interviewed by Taiwan media,
he showed that belief is very important to him.
Chen Kai: “A person with belief is genuine
and does not lie.
Since you don’t lie, when you play you’ll focus on the game,
instead of concentrating on finding excuses for yourself.
Lin Shuhao sometimes makes mistakes when playing.
It does not matter if you make mistakes.
A person with belief knows that he can learn
from it and make a progress.
I think this is very, very important.
How a person plays basketball reflects his life.”
Apple founder Steve Jobs was a Buddhist. Last year, when
he left us people spoke of the link between belief and success.
But very few people in China have religious beliefs;
therefore “China does not have its Steve Jobs.”
In China personal beliefs are not only unprotected by law,
but people can lose their freedom and lives for their beliefs.
