Lin's D-League team won't forget him Before he was a household name, before he denied rumors he was dating socialite Kim Kardashian, before he had ascended to the big top of the circus formally known as the New York Knicks, Jeremy Lin’s plane touched down a few miles from the shore of Lake Erie. 在Jeremy還沒成名以前，在他否認他跟Kim約會的傳言以前、在他還沒成為尼克的大明星之前，Jeremy曾經短暫的在Erie打D-League。 The day was Wednesday, Jan. 18, 2012, and Lin and Knicks center Jerome Jordan had been assigned to play a couple of games with the Erie BayHawks of the NBA Development League. Lin was an anonymous point guard from Harvard when he hopped into team President Matt Bresee’s SUV, and had played just nine minutes for the Knicks in January. 那天是1/18，Lin和Jerome Jordan被下放到D-League。Lin坐上BayHawks球隊總管Bresee的車，當時Lin只是一個在1月份只上場九分鐘，默默無名的PG。 Bresee got the call the previous day that Lin and Jordan would be playing for the BayHawks, an affiliate of the Knicks. He checked them into their hotel, drove them to the mall for a couple of Subway sandwiches, then dropped them off at the team’s practice facility. Bresee在前一晚接到尼克的通知說Lin和Jordan要被下放。他帶兩位球員到飯店check in，並帶他們去吃Subway，然後去練球。 Bresee had been in situations like this before, and it was a mixed bag. Sometimes, they were excited about the opportunity to play extended minutes in a game. Other times, they seemed to view the trip as a demotion. It was clear Lin had brought the right attitude from the Big Apple. Bresee對這樣的狀況並不陌生。有些球員會很期待在D-League有更多表現，但有些人卻把到D-League單純當成「下放」。很顯然地，Lin當時的態度是正確的。 Lin also asked Bresee about the city of Erie — even though Lin didn’t plan on being there long. A return flight already was booked for him the next Monday. All he had to do was play well that weekend in Portland, Maine, against the Maine Red Claws, and he’d reaffirm the Knicks’ belief that he could eventually help them win. 即使Lin不會再Erie停留太久，他還是跟Bresee問了很多關於Erie這個城市的種種。回程的班機已經訂好，Lin唯一要做的事情就是好好準備對Main Red Claws的比賽，讓尼克對他有信心。 Lin took that assignment seriously. He tore apart the Red Claws Jan. 20 for 28 points, 12 assists and 11 rebounds — one of the few triple-doubles in the BayHawks’ four-year history. Lin顯然真的很認真看待打D-League這件事情。他打爆Red Claws，拿下大三元。這僅僅是 BayHawks成軍四年來少數能拿到大三元的選手之一。 “It’s funny, everyone looking for their Jeremy Lin claim to fame,” Bresee said. “My 15-year-old daughter can brag to her friends that Jeremy Lin was in our car. We can say Jeremy Lin stepped foot in the food court of the Millcreek Mall, spent the night at the Sheraton here. We’ve got pictures.” Bresee說，「我15歲的女兒向他朋友炫耀Lin曾經坐過我家的車。並且我們一起去Mall 的美食街，一起到過喜來登。」 It is not easy to forge a connection between a town and its NBDL franchise. Players are constantly changing. For instance, there are only three players currently with the team who shared the court with Lin nearly six weeks ago. Still, the BayHawks are doing everything they can to take advantage of Lin’s newfound fame. A few of the elements of a weekend promotion: 因為球員變動頻率很高，所以很難把NBDL的活動跟這個城市做連結。但BayHawk還是打算推出一連串有關於Lin的行銷活動。 ‧ If your name contains “Lin” anywhere in your first, middle or last name, your family gets free tickets. 只要你的名字裡面有"Lin"就可以拿到免費的票。 “A lady came in this morning with the last name ‘Collins,’ “ said Jason Vaughan, the BayHawks’ manager of promotions and client services. ‧ If you’re 17 years old, and you have proper identification, you get a free ticket because Lin wears a No. 17 jersey. 因為Lin穿17號球衣，如果你有身分證件證明你17歲也可以免費。 ‧ If you are seated in section 17, you have a chance at special giveaways. 如果你的座位是在第17區，你有機會拿到獎品。 ‧ If you graduated from Harvard or currently enrolled there, you get a free ticket. 如果你是哈佛畢業，或者現在念哈佛，也可以免費。 The biggest hint that Linsanity has hit the coast of Lake Erie? The BayHawks put his game-worn jersey for sale on eBay, and it grossed $13,800. Lin’s game warm-up jersey went for $3,700, his practice jersey for $1,900. That’s almost $20,000 that the BayHawks are planning to donate to local charities. Lin之前在BayHawks的所有衣服在eBay上賣到將近$20000，BayHawks打算捐給當地的慈善機構。 The BayHawks say they have taken Lin’s story as an inspiration. “He very easily could have pouted and not played well in Erie, and the Knicks could have decided he’s not what we thought he was,” BayHawks coach Jay Larranaga said. “But he didn’t. He showed the player he is, and he turned out to be more than what they thought. BayHawks的教練說「Lin的故事真的很鼓舞人心。他大可以對他被下放的事情賭氣或者亂打，但他並沒有這麼做。他向其他球員證明了自己，而且比他們想像得更好。」 PS.BayHawks在官網有販售Lin的球衣和Tshirt，似乎是唯二有標上背號的商品XD。 http://www.nba.com/dleague/erie/store_clothing_2011_12_29.html News:http://goo.gl/N23Tw -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 1.162.63.206
