林书豪只是中国人借来的英雄

Indeed, Mr Lin's parents might never have allowed him anywhere near the system. To put a child (usually an only child) into the Chinese sports system is to surrender his upbringing and education to a bureaucracy that demands sporting success at any cost. If a child were to be injured or fail to make the grade as an athlete, he would for nothing have been separated from his parents for lengthy stretches—and given up his chance at an all-round education, to boot. Although poorer parents from rural areas may welcome the chance for their child to attend a sports school, with the chance of upward mobility, most middle-class Chinese parents prefer to see their children focus on schooling and exams. So China almost certainly has its own Jeremy Lin, but there is no path for him to follow. 事实上，林书豪的父母也许永远不会让他参加官方的体育训练。让孩子（通常是独子）进入国家体育系统意味着将孩子的培养和教育全部交给政府，这个政府将获胜当作唯一的目标。如果孩子在训练期间受伤或者表现不理想，他所付出的代价（例如放弃受教育的机会、与长期父母分开参加训练等等）将得不到任何回报。虽然在农村的家境不好的地区，父母愿意利用这次机会把自己的孩子送入体校，因为这样有利于提高他们的社会地位。中国中等收入的家庭宁愿希望他们的孩子专注在学业和考试方面。中国也许有自己的林书豪，只不过他在当前制度下无法像林书豪那样成长。
