Jeremy Lin林書豪:N.B.A. Investigating After Jeremy Lin Said He Was Called ‘Coronavirus’... the Brooklyn Nets 籃網; “我必須變得更好”

隨著NBA開放球隊和自由球員簽約,籃網今宣布和台裔球星林書豪正式簽約,雖然球團並未透露合約細節,但先前已經報導過是份3年3600萬美元合約,林書豪簽約後也自拍影片告知已經簽約,還透露將來包奇多火辣味粟米脆條(Flamin Hot Cheetos)慶祝。籃網總管馬克斯(Sean Marks-- . He is currently the general manager of the Brooklyn Nets)發表聲明表示:「我們非常興奮地歡迎林書豪來到布魯克林,他是1個性格很好且很有競爭力的球員,他適合我們球隊未來的文化,他也適合亞特金森(Kenny Atkinson)教練的打法,林書豪是個證明過自己的有經驗後衛,他有著很好的領導力,他很明顯適合球隊體系和這座城市。」林書豪在上季例行賽平均出賽26.3分鐘繳出11.7分、3.2籃板和3助攻,季後賽平均攻得12.4分、2.3籃板和2.6助攻。(陳雍仁/綜合報導)
Analysis  2013
Lin Does a Lot by Not Doing Too Much
Jeremy Lin has been a solid if unexceptional contributor for the Rockets, as his 12.8 points a game through Friday attest.

  (中央社記者江今葉紐約24日專電)效力休士頓火箭隊的台裔NBA球星林書豪轉戰火箭隊的表現,一直備受外界關注。「紐約時報」認為,林書豪投效火箭是適得其所,不過他的跳投還有待加強。

火箭隊22日作客布魯克林籃網隊,去年在紐約引發「林來瘋」風潮的林書豪再度現身比賽,紐約媒體自然是不會放過這個近距離觀察的好機會。
紐約時報今天專文分析林書豪進入火箭隊之後的表現,認為火箭隊採用的快攻球風,讓林書豪擅長的檔拆戰術得以靈活運用,雖然未能重現「林來瘋」風潮,但林書豪已經逐漸成長,能在未來幾年內,成為優異的NBA球員。
不過,報導也指出,林書豪和隊友「大鬍子」哈登(James Harden)之間,顯然還需要更多化學作用。火箭隊前鋒巴森斯(Chandler Parsons)就認為,哈登是主控性很強的球員,林書豪必須學會如何作更好合作。
對於林書豪這個賽季起伏太大,紐時認為,林書豪是個年輕、還有成長空間的球員,但跳投仍是他的一大弱點,也仍過於依賴右方進攻,當在左側時,他習慣中遠距離跳投。
紐時建議林書豪應該訓練穩定的跳投,如此他將成為球場上有效率且具備危險性的球員。

林書豪談離開紐約尼克斯隊始末


紐約州格林堡——NBA新賽季即將開始,林書豪將是聯賽中最受矚目的球員之一。2月,尼 克斯隊(Knicks)球員林書豪一夜成名,紅遍全球。林書豪現效力於休斯頓火箭隊(Houston Rockets)。火箭隊的隊員都很年輕,在一定程度上,這支隊伍是圍繞着林書豪進行重建的 。
現在,《GQ》雜誌11月刊把林書豪作為封面人物,並對他進行專題報道。這反映了林書豪所受到的持續關注。在這篇由威爾·利奇(Will Leitch)撰稿的文章中,林書豪詳細回憶了他所經歷的一系列讓他眩暈的事件。他回憶了他是如何迅速從NBA的邊緣人物,變成尼克斯隊的首發後衛,今年 夏天又驚人地離開尼克斯隊,因為火箭隊願意為他支付自由球員的價格,而尼克斯隊則拒絕開出同樣的價錢。
當林書豪首次作為前尼克斯隊隊員回到紐約時,利奇採訪了他。
林書豪告訴利奇說,“事情是這樣的,我除了離開,別無選擇。尼克斯隊沒有提出報價,我就必須得自己到市場上去碰碰運氣。”

林書豪在採訪中說,當他在火箭隊的聘用協議上簽字時,火箭隊告訴他,他們相當確定尼克斯隊會匹配這個報價。林書豪說,尼克斯隊沒讓他留下,他感到很 吃驚。尤其是在這之前,就在他還有一周就要變成自由球員時,他曾在洛杉磯與卡梅隆·安東尼(Carmelo Anthony)、泰森·錢德勒(Tyson Chandler),和邁克·伍德森(Mike Woodson)教練共進晚餐,他們都告訴他說,認為他能留在尼克斯隊。

林書豪說,“吃完飯離開時,我心裡想的是‘這真不錯,我很振奮’,因為在那頓晚餐前,我心裡還是有些忐忑的。”
林書豪曾在哈佛大學打大學生籃球聯賽。他在訪談中也說道,如果他從來沒有進入NBA的話,他會在國外打一年球,然後過普通人的生活。但是他又補充道,如果有一天,他不打籃球了,他並沒有確切的規劃要做些什麼。

在訪談中,林書豪也談到了他在大學裡、在成為職業球員後面對的種族歧視。他說他覺得,因為他是華裔,所以有些人不相信他的能力。

他告訴《GQ》說,“這絕不是他們不相信我的唯一原因,但肯定是他們不相信我的原因之一。因為我是亞洲人,我不得不花更長的時間,打一些好球,來說服那些人相信我的能力。但這就是現實。”

在訪談中,林書豪也說道,他在尼克斯的戰績竟能那麼好,他跟大家一樣吃驚。在35場比賽中,林書豪場均得分14.6分、助攻6.2次。
他說,“說實話,我真不知道我能打的那麼好。”
他說,質疑者們說他在NBA比賽中只有25場首發,他承認這一點。他說,“他們說的對,對極了。我不知道下個賽季我能打成什麼樣子。在去年以前我面對的那些困難,我在明年仍然得面對——這是一個學習的過程。”
他補充道,“我必須變得更好。”

Media Hype for Lin Stumbles on Race

By DAVID CARR
Jeremy Lin's hot streak for the Knicks over the past week has threatened the tabloid supply of puns and superlatives, where "Lincredible" was just the beginning.

但在震後,許多義工進來協助、救援,也分享、關懷。她發現,許多日本人漸漸打開心房。
山口悅子則坦承,要讓美國的木工來幫忙修補日式、黑頂白牆的屋子,她有點緊張。但漸漸地,木工的專業、還有熱心,讓她開始接納並感恩。
過去,她是從別人的手上,買來這間房子,感覺好像是「別人的房子」。現在,她跟著一起修補房子,似乎可以看見,這裡是廚房、那裡是客廳的慢慢成形。「這真的是我的房子,」她開心地說。
佐藤說,有一對夫妻,一開始也對國外的義工有所保留。一次在修補房子時,發現地震掉下來的石頭砸壞了神壇。這對夫妻非常悲傷,以為神離開了自己。
後來,善普施的義工告訴他們,「其實,神一直都在心中。」鼓舞了他們。
現在,房子已經修補好,但每天中午,他們還是會準備濃湯、蔬菜給附近工作的義工,然後一起吃中飯、一起唱首歌。
自助、利他的快樂,在這個惡水侵襲的地區,蔓延開來。

倒數0.5秒3分球 逆轉屠龍6連勝// 絕殺 上帝降「林」
NBA首位台裔球員林書豪(左)藝高人膽大,在暴龍當家後衛卡德翁面前穩穩投進三分球。 (歐新社)

〔記者梁偉銘/綜合報導〕最後○.五秒「三分絕殺」,NBA首位台裔球員林書豪扮演屠龍英雄!
雙十演出 零輸豪贏球保證
全場苦苦追趕的紐約尼克隊,靠著「哈佛小子」媲美「籃球之神」喬丹的精準最後一擊,三分線弧頂運球出手後高拋物線應聲破網,在兩萬多名球迷難以置信的驚呼聲中,尼克終以九十比八十七逆轉斬落多倫多地主暴龍,本季新高六連勝的氣勢如虹。
林 書豪挾著東部「單週最佳球員」獎項肯定,率領尼克戰友北征降龍,二十七分、十一助攻的「雙十演出」技冠全場,雖有八失誤卻瑕不掩瑜,而終場前關鍵跳投更一 劍封喉,藝高人膽大的壓軸單打秀,不只把兩隊動輒千萬美元年薪的大咖球星全比下去,也再度轟動全美各大運動媒體,堪稱尼克贏球保證的「零輸豪」。
今戰國王 領軍挑戰7連勝
「感 謝上帝!我很享受這樣的壓力。」信仰虔誠、流著道地台灣血統的「豪小子」,天助自助拚出贏球慶祝行情,生涯先發前五場總計一三六分,也打破「俠客」歐尼爾 保有的一二九分紀錄,榮膺聯盟史上第一人。今天回到麥迪遜廣場花園迎戰不善客場出擊的沙加緬度國王(台灣時間上午八時半,衛視體育台、愛爾達轉播),「林 來瘋Lin-sanity」可望藉著地主優勢持續發飆,挑戰七連勝以及更多不可思議的紀錄。
昨天面對西班牙世錦賽金牌後衛卡德翁,林書豪臨場毫無懼色,除了組織活絡尼克進攻節奏,這頭初生之犢更適時挹注火力,穩住客場多處挨打頹勢、甚至落後多達十七分的局面。
連投帶罰 拿尼克最後6分
到了第四節決勝期,林書豪與甫歸隊的前鋒史陶德邁爾磨合出默契,「豪邁連線」聯手帶動反撲火力,終場前一分鐘林書豪又頂住壓力,挺身而出隻手接管戰局,連投帶罰包辦尼克最後六分,包括石破天驚的三分球回馬槍,殺得負責防守的卡德翁措手不及,豪氣續寫屠龍傳奇。
最後一擊 向教頭要求攻堅
「最 後一擊是我向教練要求的。」當雙方八十七平手僵持不下時,林書豪主動請纓執行攻堅重任,總教練丹東尼也放心同意,要求眾大牌球星全讓開,儘量給他單打發揮 空間,「這小子狀況好到不必叫暫停。」最後球兒在空中畫出一道勝利弧線,頭號功臣林書豪仍不改其謙和態度:「我要感謝教練、隊友,因為他們在比賽結束前, 放心把球交到我手上。」

美國前國務卿喬治·舒爾茨George Pratt Shultz去世,享年100歲。名作家 Iris Murdoch 個案。阿爾茨海默症可預測嗎?寫作測試也許提供了答案。One Hundred Year Study on Artificial Intelligence

“It turns out that if you respect things that deserve respect, when you're critical of something, it carries more weight.” -George Shultz
The former U.S. secretary of state and Stanford scholar who wielded profound influence on American public policy died Feb. 6 at 100: http://stanford.io/2OlsnLZ







Shultz 對照片講出許多感人故事,包括"蘇聯外貿部長 Nikoloi Patolichov 在列寧格勒一起出席紀念二戰英靈的獻花儀式,我們相偕而行,一向艱忍剛毅的 P 部長,在描述死於列寧格勒戰役的士兵人數時,突然老淚縱橫....."
去)2020)年12月舒茲歡度百歲生日,華盛頓郵報刊登了他寫的 “ 信任是領域的硬幣 (Trust was the coin of the realm )”一文,回顧他一個世紀以來的人生經驗:
“ 當信任在房間裡時,無論是在家庭、學校、教練室、辦公室、政府與軍事場所,好事就會發生。當信任不在房裡時,好事不會發生,其餘的都是細節。”
他舉了自小到大的10個事例,說明信任對他為人處事帶來的影響。其中第7、8兩例與外交事務有關,摘述如下:
同理心是建立信任的基礎
1973年我擔任財政部長,與蘇聯外貿部長 Nikoloi Patolichov 在列寧格勒一起出席紀念二戰英靈的獻花儀式,我們相偕而行,一向艱忍剛毅的 P 部長,在描述死於列寧格勒戰役的士兵人數時,突然老淚縱橫,連他的傳譯也哽咽啜泣。當我們要離去時,我告訴 P部長,“ 我也參加過二戰,也有同袍在我身旁死去 ”,望向墓園,我說 “ 畢竟,這些都是抵抗希特勒的軍人 ”,面朝墓地,我以陸戰隊的行禮方式致意,P部長對此特別申謝。
後來,令我感到意外的是,我因為此行而受到蘇聯領導階層的信任。
另一例發生在國務卿任內:
“ 身為國務卿,有天我呈送一份總統外交政策演說的講稿給白宮核閱,雷根總統看過後,在頁邊空白處寫下 “ story ”, 我不解其意,請示總統是何意思?他說 “ 那是最重要之處,加一段相關的故事,與聽眾交流。如此一來,你不只是說之以理,也動之以情。
他讓我知道說故事,讓你想表達的東西不再抽象。一個故事,可以成為情感的扭帶,情感能建立信任。”Owen Hsieh

 美國前國務卿喬治·舒爾茨去世,享年100歲。舒爾茨曾在尼克松政府任職勞工部長、財長和預算辦公室主任,並在裡根執政期間擔任國務卿,對美國政壇具有深遠影響。

George Shultz, then secretary of state, testifying to Congress during the Iran-contra affair in 1986.

George Pratt Shultz (/ʃʊlts/; December 13, 1920 – February 6, 2021) was an American economist, statesman, and businessman. He served in various positions under three different Republican presidents and is one of only two people to have held four different Cabinet-level posts.[1] Shultz played a major role in shaping the foreign policy of the Ronald Reagan administration. From 1974 to 1982, he was an executive of the Bechtel Group, an engineering and services company. In the 2010s, Shultz was a prominent figure in the scandal of the biotech firm Theranos, continuing to support it as a board member in the face of mounting evidence of fraud.

Born in New York City, he graduated from Princeton University before serving in the United States Marine Corps during World War II. After the war, Shultz earned a Ph.D. in industrial economics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He taught at MIT from 1948 to 1957, taking a leave of absence in 1955 to take a position on President Dwight D. Eisenhower's Council of Economic Advisers. After serving as dean of the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business, he accepted President Richard Nixon's appointment as United States Secretary of Labor. In that position, he imposed the Philadelphia Plan on construction contractors who refused to accept black members, marking the first use of racial quotas by the federal government. In 1970, he became the first director of the Office of Management and Budget, and he served in that position until his appointment as United States Secretary of the Treasury in 1972. In that role, Shultz supported the Nixon shock (which sought to revive the ailing economy in part by abolishing the gold standard) and presided over the end of the Bretton Woods system.

Shultz left the Nixon administration in 1974 to become an executive at Bechtel. After becoming president and director of that company, he accepted President Ronald Reagan's offer to serve as United States Secretary of State. He held that office from 1982 to 1989. Shultz pushed for Reagan to establish relations with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, which led to a thaw between the United States and the Soviet Union. He opposed the U.S. aid to rebels trying to overthrow the Sandinistas using funds from an illegal sale of weapons to Iran that led to the Iran–Contra affair.

Shultz retired from public office in 1989 but remained active in business and politics. He served as an informal adviser to George W. Bush and helped formulate the Bush Doctrine of preemptive war. He served on the Global Commission on Drug Policy, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's Economic Recovery Council, and on the boards of Bechtel and the Charles Schwab Corporation.

Beginning in 2013, Shultz advocated for a revenue-neutral carbon tax as the most economically sound means of mitigating anthropogenic climate change.[2][3][4][5][6] He was a member of the Hoover Institution, the Institute for International Economics, the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, and other groups.
