【禁聞】信仰造就的「林書豪奇蹟」

【新唐人2012年2月25日訊】「林書豪奇蹟」，在全球引起關注和思考。很多人認為，「林書豪現象」是信仰造就的人格魅力帶來的結果，不過中共媒體在所謂的破解「林書豪奇蹟」中，把林書豪所說的「要為神的榮耀打球」等有關信仰的談話全部閹割，刻意隱去信仰對人們的影響。而林書豪的謙虛，對信仰的虔誠，讓他從板凳球員到全球為他發燒，確實為他個人創造了一項奇蹟。

「林來瘋」現象不僅在NBA發燒，在全球都可以感受到這股熱力，也讓林書豪成為《時代週刊》及《運動畫刊》的封麵人物。

不過，職業籃球商業壓力的冷酷無比，讓過去一年中的林書豪處於職業低谷，他在NBA連遭兩個球隊釋出，林書豪說，是因為信仰，他一直默默堅持著。

前國家隊運動員陳凱認為，作為一個運動員來說，輸贏是常事，信仰能夠使一個運動員正確對待榮辱。

陳凱：「對他來說信仰能夠使他保持一種自省，對自己順利的時候，成功的時候應該有一種反省，在失敗的時候也不會被挫折所擊倒，人不是總是往上走，都是有上有下，有起有伏，重要的是在裡面學東西，有信仰的人，能夠在這種起伏之中，懂得自己生命的意義，懂得自己要甚麼。」

美國全國性報紙《USA Today》發表社論指出，林書豪重新定義了人們對才能的評價，給全球各地的人們做了最佳的榜樣。在球隊艱難的時候，他一貫專注、具備決心，而在大家把他捧上天時，他卻還是一樣的謙虛，維持對信仰的虔誠。

加拿大籃球教練鞠賓表示，正面教育才能造就積極向上的人才，他認為，中國的教練採取諷刺挖苦的辦法來對待孩子，不能激發孩子對體育的熱愛。

鞠賓：「完全不同體制下的兩種不同的運動，他是在美國制度下的一個美國人的成長經歷，而且他還有信仰，這又是一個很重要的因素，因為信仰使他能夠在困難的時候不放棄。」

而中共喉舌《新華網》2月15日發表的一篇文章，內容竄改並刪除了林書豪去年接受電視媒體專訪時，有關信仰的談話，其他多家大陸媒體也跟進轉載，集體造假。

鞠賓說，在中共的體制中，林書豪連作為運動員的機會都不會有。

鞠賓：「林書豪在中國不具備被挑出來的可能性，他的身高，他的父母，這個在中國肯定是要看的，你父母多高啊，骨齡一測，你今後能長多高，一看你沒這個前途，他就不要你了，在美國不可以，任何一個小孩來打球，你不能拒絕他。」

鞠賓認為，共產黨把體育政治化，扭曲了體育的實質，反而泯滅了人的責任心。

鞠賓：「在中國打球，我算甚麼，我自己做不了主的，我自己的不算的，在美國不是這樣子，我自己對自己的行為負責，在中國你負不了這個責任，這是關鍵。」

鞠賓表示，林書豪的魅力還在於他不是凸顯自己，而是能夠調動全部隊員的潛力。

據了解，林書豪不但個人得分優異，助攻也很積極，例如，面對上季NBA總冠軍達拉斯小牛隊時，林書豪寫下了14次助攻的個人最高記錄。

Jeremy Lin's Miracle: Creation of Faith

The miracle of Jeremy Lin sparked a global attention

and reflection.

Many believe Lin's inspiration is a personal charisma,

created by faith. “I'm playing to glorify God”, Lin says.

However, all Lin's faith talks were removed in articles

of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) official media.

The CCP regime intentionally covers up

faith's impact on an individual.

Jeremy Lin's humbleness and devoutness helped his

rapid rise to global stardom from a bench warmer - a true miracle for him personally.

Linsanity's fever has spread from NBA to the world.

Jeremy Lin became the cover figure

on Times and Sports Illustrated.

Professional basketball players

are under crass commercial pressures.

In the past year, Jeremy Lin suffered a trough in his career,

and was consecutively waived by two teams.

However, Lin said his faith supported his silent holding-up.

Kai Chen, former member of China' national basketball team,

says that winning or losing is common for an athlete.

The faith can help an athlete look at the honor and shame

in a right way, Chen thinks.

Kai Chen: "His faith enables him to maintain

a state of self reflection, I think.

One should reflect on himself in the good times.

So he won't be knocked down by the hard times.

It's not always up. There're ups and downs in life.

It's important to learn from it.

From his ups and downs, a person of faith can learn

the meaning of his life and what he really wants."

USA Today's editorial said that Jeremy Lin

redefined talent evaluation.

He is an inspiration to talented people everywhere,

the article said.

“Focused and determined enough to make it in a tough

racket, yet humble and devout in the face of his newfound stardom.”

Canadian basketball coach, Ju Bin, agrees

that positive education creates active talents.

Training children in a sarcastic manner, as what mainland

China' coaches do, can't inspire kids' sport passion, Ju says.

Ju Bin: "These are two different types of athleticism

under totally different institutional systems.

He is an American living in the U.S. What's more,

he is a person of faith, which is a very important factor.

Because the faith can stop him giving up in difficult times."

On Feb. 15, CCP's mouthpiece Xinhua News Agency,

issued an article about Jeremy Lin.

However, the Xinhua's article completely deleted Lin's

faith talks during a television interview in 2011.

The official article was afterwards reproduced

by many media in mainland China.

Under the CCP system, Jeremy Lin would not even have

a chance to become an athlete, coach Ju Bin comments.

Ju Bin: "Jeremy Lin wouldn't have possibility

to be drafted in China.

His height, his parents' height, such factors are definitely

used as references in China.

By measuring the bone age to predict a child's adult height,

if it's deemed no prospect, they won't accept him at all.

But in the U.S., any child who wants to play

cannot be rejected.”

Ju Bin reviews that the CCP politicizes the sport,

which distorts the essence of sports. It leads to the vanishing of people's accountability.

Ju Bin: "An athlete in China counts for nothing.

Everything is out of his hands.

In the U.S., as an athlete, I can be responsible for my actions.

But in China, you can't. This is a key point."

Jeremy Lin's charm is also seen in his ability to mobilize

the team's potential, besides modesty, Ju Bin says.

Jeremy Lin was reported having excellent scoring ability,

and great performance in assists.

In a win over Dallas Mavericks, last season's championship,

Lin tallied a career-high 14 assists.
