Last Friday, the Houston Rockets hosted the New York Knicks at the Toyota
Center in Jeremy Lin’s first game against his former team. If this was some
kind of redemption game, both teams downplayed it.
上週五休斯敦火箭隊在豐田中心迎戰紐約尼克斯隊,這是林書豪與舊東家的第一場戰役。
如果說這場比賽具有某種救贖意義,那麼兩隊其實都在刻意低調處理這層意義。
The Knicks』 Jason Kidd even went so far as to say no one is looking to 「
embarrass」 Lin, which seemed unnecessary and odd to mention if you’re
trying to downplay the game, but if Lin had any added motivation to win this
game other than improving on the Rockets sub-.500 record, he didn’t openly
speak about it.
若非如此,尼克斯隊的傑森-基德說出沒有人想讓林書豪「難堪」這席話,實在顯得既多
餘又突兀。而林書豪只說想挽救火箭勝率不讓它低於.500,除此之外,其他讓他想贏這場
比賽的動機,他始終沒有公開地說。
Fans, however, had different expectations. For every fan of Jeremy Lin, and
to some degree, non-Lin-specific Rockets fans as well, this was a chance to
show up the team that dumped him. This was more fan redemption than Lin’s
redemption. And, Lin was far from embarrassed.
然而,球迷卻懷著截然不同的期待。對每一個林書豪的粉絲而言,甚至在某種程度上不單
單支持林的火箭迷而言,這是一個讓林可以在曾經拋棄他的球隊面前露臉的機會。這是粉
絲的救贖,甚於林的救贖。而比賽的結果,林和「難堪」二字根本沾不上邊。
On the contrary, the Knicks suffered from a meltdown so thorough it’s
difficult to even imagine the Knicks as a contender without forgetting this
game in its entirety. The Rockets forced down humble pie, by way of a
131-103 beat down, like grandma trying save room in the fridge after
Thanksgiving. Eat it, Knicks.
相反地,尼克斯隊徹底完敗,令人很難想到它是一支爭奪總冠軍的隊伍卻不去記得這場比
賽。火箭隊以131-103 迫使他們吞下敗仗,就像奶奶在過節時為了存放過剩的食物,盡量
挪出冰箱的位子一樣。
吃下敗仗吧,尼克斯。
This was sweet, sweet justice for Jeremy Lin fans worldwide, and anyone who
had a notion that Lin was mistreated in his unceremonious exile from Gotham.
Which isn’t to say it was Linsanity all over again, Lin had a solid 13
points and 7 rebounds, but they were modest numbers compared to teammate
Chandler Parsons, who made his first 8 shots, and finished with a
career-high 31 points. Bearded dragon, James Harden, quietly finished
with 33 points as the duo made Carmelo Anthony’s 37 instantly forgettable.
不管是林書豪遍佈全球的粉絲,還是任何人覺得林書豪突然被驅逐出紐約受了虧待,正義
得到伸張,最美妙不過。這場比賽雖然沒有重現林來瘋,林書豪卻扎扎實實拿下13分和7
個籃板。和隊友錢德勒-帕森斯相比,這僅是中規中矩的數據。帕森斯剛開始出手八投全
中,並砍下職業生涯新高31分。詹姆斯-哈登是蓄了鬍子的猛龍 ,他靜悄悄地拿下33分,
和帕森斯合力讓卡梅隆-安東尼的37分瞬間被人遺忘。
A good smack down is always fun to watch for fans of the team laying down the
smack, just ask Giants fans about Sunday’s win over the Green Bay Packers.
But, what made this win even better was seeing Lin play with confidence
again. Interim coach Kelvin Sampson even mentioned that Lin had gotten
his 「swagger」 back. Which was contagious.
看著自己支持的球隊迎頭痛擊對手是很有趣的事,不信的話問問巨人隊的球迷,星期天贏
了綠灣包裝工人隊的感受如何。但是,更讓這場比賽錦上添花的是,看見林書豪再度充滿
自信地打球,就連代理教練凱爾文-桑普森也說林書豪找回他在場上那股神氣的模樣。這
樣的自信是會感染隊友的。
The Rockets scored a season-high 35 points in the first quarter and the
entire team looked more comfortable in the offense against a Knicks team
that prioritizes defense. Lin shot .500 for the first time since Nov 9 at
Memphis and made his first 3-pointer in six games. His shooting percentages
still need significant improvement but this is as good spot as any to hit
reset and leave the previous 5 games in the ether.
火箭隊在第一節得到開季以來35分的新高,與尼克斯這支以防守著稱的球隊交戰,火箭隊
整個看起來應付自如。林書豪自11月9日和孟菲斯灰熊隊一戰後,第一次命中率達.500,
而且投進過去六場比賽中的第一個三分球。他還需要進一步提升投籃命中率,但這是一個
好的起點,讓他把之前五場低迷的表現置之腦後。
If the Houston Rockets didn’t play for any greater, unified purpose than
simply getting a W, they could have fooled me. In the end, though, it was
just a good win for the Rockets, but a great win for the fans.
如果休斯敦火箭隊只是單純為了贏球,背後並沒有一個更大、更團結一致的目標,那我很
可能被騙了。無論真相是什麼,在這場比賽中火箭僅是獲勝,粉絲卻是大獲全勝。
