First, because of his super performance. He is the player who scored the most points in the first five games in NBA history. He scored, assisted and rebounded in February, which is rare in NBA history, and led the team to a record of 10 wins and 3 losses with the value of a leader. Just for this reason, the basketball world has set off a wave of criticism.
Second, because of the achievements of his team. He pulled the team out of the mire and entered the ranks of strong teams. Before Jeremy Lin came to the Knicks, the team had two superstars, Anthony and Stoudemire, but the team was getting worse and worse, with a poor score of 8 wins 15 losses, ranking in the east 1 1. To make matters worse, one of the two superstars had to take a long vacation, and the other was suspended for many games due to injury. In this case, the value of Jeremy Lin suddenly changed from grassroots to superstar, leading the team to win again and again, which further showed Jeremy Lin's leadership ability, and his leadership ability was in sharp contrast with the two superstars. Whether he can lead the team with two superstars and what effect will be produced after the integration have become the topic of discussion after dinner. This is the second biggest reason for popularity. There is no first reason, and this reason alone is red enough.
Third, because of his two-year ball age. Jeremy Lin has only played in the NBA for two years, and he can make earth-shaking changes in the team and let himself play rare data in NBA history. This can't even be done by established superstars such as Jordan, Kobe Bryant and Chamberlain. What's more, he was a fringe player who was laid off before. At the same time, because he is only two years old in the NBA, everyone is full of expectations for him. If he is already a player with a ball age of 10 years, no matter how strong he is, he will not get so much attention, because everyone has seen his limitations, and no matter how strong he is, it will only be a flash in the pan, and everyone expects him. This alone made him famous.
Fourth, because of his Asian identity. He is the second Asian player to play point guard in history. As an Asian player, he played so well in the NBA that he won the analysis and research of experts from all over the world. Especially in Asia, this is Jeremy Lin. He will dispel the NBA's concern that yellow-skinned players are weak as point guards on the court and create a situation in which NBA is looking for point guards in Asia.
Because of his cultural background. He graduated from Harvard University, a world-famous scientific research institution. He graduated from this school and played so well that experts thought deeply. It has aroused the upsurge of combining learning with basketball in Harvard University and other scientific research institutions, so that everyone can learn from Jeremy Lin's experience. There are so many universities and so many college students that it is strange not to cause a sensation.
6. Because he lost the draft. He suddenly changed from a marginal player to a legendary superstar and won everyone's research. Experts from all walks of life often report Lin Shuhao's life and research experiences and secrets in newspapers.
One of the above six reasons will make people blush, not to mention that these six reasons happen to Jeremy Lin at the same time.
