[外絮] Studying Lin’s Rough New Reality

Studying Jeremy Lin’s Rough New Reality
We all knew it was never going to last. After Jeremy Lin set scoring records
for a first-time starter, led the New York Knicks to a 10-3 charge after
taking over the offense in early February, made the cover of magazines and
became a global obsession, it was only a matter of time before his insane
production slowed down a bit. No one goes from NBA reject to Michael Jordan
in a matter of weeks.
But when Lin was dominating the NBA back in February, did we see failure
coming so quickly in March?
The New York Knicks have lost six straight games, and seven of their last
eight. They now own a 18-24 record. If the season ended today, the Knicks
would not make the playoffs. On Monday night, the Knicks lost to the team
with the NBA’s best record, the 35-9 Chicago Bulls, on the road, 104-99. No
shame in that, except that Chicago outhustled New York in the fourth quarter.
The Bulls grabbed offense rebound after offensive rebound — they just wanted
the game more.
How much is Lin to blame for New York’s misfortune? It’s not all on him.
The Knicks have returned to their annoying habit of napping on defense.
Carmelo Anthony’s inefficient (21 points on 21 shots against the Bulls, 39%
shooting during the losing streak) and dispiriting (he sulked when not
getting the ball against the Bulls) play is more of a culprit. Sure, Lin
shot 48% from the field during his February heyday, and he’s now at an ugly
39% during his winless month of March. Not including the Feb. 3 game in which
played seven minutes against the Boston Celtics, Lin averaged 22.3 points per
game last month. During the six-game losing streak, he has scored 16.2 points
per game. His assists are down (from 9.0 to 7.3), but so are his turnovers
(5.3 to 3.8).

For a starting NBA point guard, 16.2 points and 7.3 assists per game is
pretty nice production, though Lin’s shooting percentage must improve. Lin
is really a liability on defense. He withers when a player sets a pick on
him. Lin has faced four elite point guards over the past few weeks. Deron
Williams scored 38 points against him. Boston’s Rajon Rondo recorded an
amazing triple double: 18 points, 20 assists, 17 rebounds. Tony Parker of the
Spurs repeatedly blew by Lin, and erupted for 32 points. Last night, Derrick
Rose lit up Lin and the Knicks for 32 points too. These players all heard the
Lin hype, and relished crushing it.
Studying last night’s game against the Bulls, there’s still plenty to like
about Lin. He explodes to the basket, and his block of a Rose layup showed
off his athleticism. Lin will never be a pure shooter, but he can knock down
an open jumper. On the fast break, he’s really good at tossing long passes
down the court.
But if you’re a Knicks fan, some signs are worrisome. Lin seems a bit
bothered by pesky defenders. Against Miami before the All-Star break, for
example, Heat guard Mario Chalmers pressured Lin full court. On Monday night,
Rose almost flew out of his shoes, he was so eager to bother Lin from the
beginning of the game. The point guard got off to a pretty silent start.
Lin is prone to unforced errors. Against the Bulls, he almost almost threw
one easy side-to-side pass into the stands. He’s prone to leaving his feet
with no set plan, and making up his mind to shoot at the last possible
second. Lin missed a couple of those confused attempts last night. His
left-handed dribble is still weak. At a crucial moment in the fourth quarter,
took a few left-handed dribbles before firing a shot. The move didn’t look
confident, and it gave him not power going into the attempt: Rose had plenty
of time to leap across the court and contest it. It never had a chance.
Bothered, confused, weak: not words you want attached to your point guard.
But it’s still way too early to write of Lin. Or to regret getting caught up
in his story. His unusual Harvard tale deserved the attention, because he
performed beyond all reasonable expectation. Sports is all about getting
caught up in surprises. Lin’s “crash” isn’t nearly as shocking.

時代雜誌變心 2月捧豪3月批
當二月爆發「林來瘋」,美國時代雜誌特別以林書豪做為封面,大力吹捧,現在尼克落難
,時代雜誌也現實起來,「我們不指望林書豪會繼續連勝及創得分紀錄,但我們從未想過
一件事,三月以來尼克居然會6連敗。」
時代雜誌網站今天以「林書豪學到殘酷現實」為題,針對尼克近來6連敗進行報導,指出
NBA沒有人能像林書豪那樣快速竄紅,成為全球瘋狂的人物,就連喬丹 (Michael Jordan)
也做不到,但才短短一個月時間之後,就看到失敗,這股瘋潮來得快,去得也快?
報導指出,這當然不能全怪林書豪,尼克又回到老毛病,防守打盹,安東尼 (Carmelo
Anthony)發揮不理想,更可能是罪魁禍首,但林書豪投籃命中率,從二月全盛時的4成8
,降至三月3成9,6連敗期間,他平均每場得分降至16.2分,助攻也從平均9.0次降至7.2
次,唯一有進步是在失誤從5.3次減少至3.8次。
以一個新人後衛來說,林書豪數據算是相當不錯,但林書豪還是要加強命中率及防守上的
責任。
過去幾周以來,林書豪面對NBA多名頂級後衛的挑戰,包括籃網威廉斯 (Deron Williams)
、塞爾蒂克朗多 (Rajon Rondo)、馬刺帕克 (Tony Parker)、公牛羅斯 (Derrick Rose)
等人,這些球員都在面對林書豪打出驚人表現,顯然他們樂於摧毀媒體炒作「林來瘋」。
研究昨天對公牛比賽,包括林書豪蓋了羅斯的鍋子,以及快攻傳球,林書豪確實有一些好
表現。但一些跡象令人擔憂,煩惱於對手對他採取肢體及貼身的強力防守,容易在場上出
現困惑,產生非受迫的失誤,再加上左邊進攻依舊軟弱。
時代雜誌最後說,「煩惱、困惑、軟弱,沒有人想用這些字連結到在他身上,但仍有很多
其他方法來寫林書豪。或許有人開始後悔被林書豪的故事所吸引,體育界都喜歡驚喜,林
書豪不尋常的哈佛故事就是如此,但當他現在墜落,卻一點也不令人震驚。」

=========================
也是老話一句 能被報導代表其"重要性" 的確只有林書豪可以快速竄起:)
現在只要靜靜地等他成長茁壯 表現好自然有人捧 反之~
尼克加油 !!!
