Things are looking up for the Lin crowd
(原文連結︰http://ppt.cc/dNVh)
By Randy Harvey
March 25, 2013 12:01 AM
One year ago Sunday, a remarkable chapter in sports history ended.
Linsanity.
一年前的星期天，一個運動史上卓越的章節畫下句點。
那就是林來瘋。
It was actually a short story. A young Asian-American point guard from
Harvard, released by his first two NBA teams, went from the end of the bench
for his third team to become one of the most brilliant comets ever to streak
across the New York City skyline.
那真的是一個很短暫的故事。一個來自哈佛大學，年輕的亞裔控球後衛；曾經被他的前
兩隻球隊所釋出，卻在他的第三支球隊中從板凳最深處殺出，成為一顆最閃爍的慧星劃
過紐約的天際。
But on March 14, 2012, he injured his knee, ending his season after a mere 28
games in the starting lineup and, ultimately, his days as a member of the
Knicks.
但是，在2012年3月14號當天， 他的膝蓋受傷，進入先發球員名單當中僅僅28場比賽，
他的球季就結束了，最終，他作為尼克一員的日子也結束了。
There has been no revival in Houston.
林來瘋並沒有在休士頓復活。
However, we do not come here today to bury Linsanity but to praise Jeremy Lin.
然而我們今天並不是要來埋葬林來瘋，而是要讚美林書豪。
He has not been all-world like his devoted fans around the globe believe or
even an NBA All-Star. But the Rockets don't believe they would be where they
are, a half-game out of sixth place in the Western Conference, if they didn't
have him.
或許他已經不再是全球忠實林迷信仰的重心，甚至也不再是NBA的全明星球員。但是火
箭絕不相信如果他們少了林書豪，可以爬到目前距離西區第六只有半場勝差這個位置。
"I think the first month and a half, he was trying to figure out our system,
and we were trying to figure him out,'' coach Kevin McHale said before Sunday
night's game at Toyota Center against San Antonio. "But he has played really,
really solid since - not always with glamorous statistics but really helping
the team play well.''
McHale在星期天主場對馬刺比賽之前說道︰「我想前一個半月他還在適應我們的體系，
我們也在找出使用他的方式。但在那之後，他表現的非常非常出色，雖然不一定總是有
亮眼的數據，但他的確幫助球隊使球隊打的更好。」
Lin would not have one of his better games against the Spurs. He looked like
the "round peg in the square hole'' McHale said he had been early in the
season.
林在對馬刺的比賽中表現並不出色。McHale說過林在季初看起來就像〝方形孔中的圓形
木樁般格格不入〞。
Boost from Beverley
來自比佛利的能量
The Rockets still won 96-95, beating the conference leaders for the first
time in four tries this season in large part because of the game Patrick
Beverley played off the bench when Lin was sitting there.
火箭還是以96比95一分之差拿下了比賽，本季四次交手第一次擊敗這個西區龍頭；其中
一個很重要的致勝關鍵是比佛利從板凳跳出來。
While Lin did not score in the first half, finishing the game with six points
in 27 minutes, Beverley almost single-handedly prevented the Rockets from
lagging too far behind by connecting on four of four shots, including two
from 3-point range, for 11 points in 11 minutes of the first and second
quarters.
林在上半場沒有得到任何分數，同時他全場上場27分鐘只攻下6分。 而比佛利在第一節
及第二節期間連續4投4中，包括2記三分球，在11分鐘內便攻下11分， 幾乎以一人之力
力保火箭不至於落後太多。
Beverley didn't score again after halftime. James Harden took it from there
offensively, finishing with 29 points. That included the game-winning field
goal with 4.5 seconds remaining, although McHale called a blocked shot by
Beverley that set off the Rockets' late rally "probably the biggest play of
the game for us.''
比佛利在下半場便沒有再添得任何分數。鬍子接下了攻擊重任，整場拿下29分，並在終
場結束前4.5秒投進了一個絕殺球， 雖然McHale認為比佛利那個追魂鍋才是激發火箭讓
火箭在最後階段爆發最重大的演出。
"Pat gave us a huge lift off the bench, especially on a night where I really
wasn't doing much of anything,'' Lin said.
「小貝今天從板凳上來帶給我們巨大的提升力量，特別是在今晚我沒有幫助球隊太多的
情況下。」林書豪如此說道。
Until Sunday night, Lin had been doing a lot during this critical stretch of
seven consecutive - and nine of 10 - games at Toyota Center. They are 5-1
during the homestand, a record they probably couldn't have achieved without
Lin, whether it was through his inspirational pep talk during a timeout
against Phoenix, the second-half comeback he led against Utah when the Jazz
smothered Harden, or the three consecutive 20-point games he had for the
first time since he was in New York, igniting mini-sanity.
一直到星期日晚上，在這個關鍵的主場系列賽以及過去10場裡面的9場比賽中，林已經
帶給球隊不少幫助。他們在主場取得5勝1敗的佳績，而如果沒有林， 火箭也不會取得
這樣的成績，比如說對上鳳凰城時，暫停時間激勵隊友的喊話， 或者是對上爵士在鬍
子被壓制時，帶領球隊在下半場展開反撲， 甚至是離開紐約後第一次連續三場得到20
分所點燃的微林來瘋等等。(記者好像沒有提到對灰狼那一場。)
Rockets general manager Daryl Morey, who is on a European tour seeking out
the next Omer Asik or Donatas Motiejunas, spoke by phone Sunday about
adjustments Lin has had to make since arriving in Houston.
為了尋找下一個Asik或D-MO而前往歐洲考查的火箭GM莫雷， 在星期天時透過電話談到
林來到火箭後所必須要作的調整。
"With Linsanity, Jeremy knew he had to have the ball in his hands in order
for the team to win,'' Morey said, referring to Lin's role without other
playmakers on the floor because of injuries. "He was required to freelance.''
With the Rockets, the ball more often has been in Harden's hands.
「林來瘋時期，林知道他必須有球在手來幫助球隊獲勝。」在提到去年尼克因傷兵問
題而缺少組織者時林所擔任的角色，莫雷說道﹕「他需要被解放。」
但是在火箭，球權大部分在哈登的手裡。
"It took some time for chemistry to develop,'' Morey said. "But the coaching
staff has done a good job of getting both of them more comfortable with each
other and putting Jeremy in the right places where he can be successful.''
「要讓球員間產生化學效應需要一點時間。」莫雷說，「但是教練團作的不錯，讓這
兩人能夠更舒適的跟彼此搭配，同時把林放在能夠使他成功且正確的位置上。」
Healthy knees help
More significantly, Morey said Lin has finally recovered from knee surgery
last April to repair a torn meniscus.
Morey說更重要的是，林終於從他去年四月開刀治療他的膝蓋傷勢中康復了。
Earlier this season, Lin fans weren't bashful in expressing their displeasure
with McHale and assistant coach Kelvin Sampson, who took over the team on an
interim basis, for letting Lin sit on the bench too often for too long.
球季剛開始時，一些林迷毫不猶豫的表達他們對於McHale及Sampson時常長時間把林冰
在板凳上的不爽。
Some of that had to do with Lin's inconsistency. But even he acknowledged at
one point his "speed, explosiveness and agility'' were not at the level they
had been before the injury.
其中一些原因是因為林自己的不穩定。即使是他本人也一度察覺，他的速度、爆發力及
敏捷性都還沒有恢復到他開刀前的水準。
"We had a series of back-to-back games and a couple of stretches of four
games in five nights, and the coaches learned he needed more rest,'' Morey
said, scoffing at the theory of some Lin fans that McHale and Sampson didn't
use him more because they disagreed with his signing. "It took him awhile to
get back to 100 percent. He's there now.
莫雷表示〝我們有一堆背靠背的比賽，也有幾次在五天之內打了四場比賽，教練團知道
林需要更多的休息〞， 同時他對於部分林迷所謂McHale及Sampson冰林是因為他們不同
意莫雷簽下林的說法嗤之以鼻。“他需要時間恢復到百分之百的健康，而現在他已經是
了〞。
"It's been a big part of our evolution as a team that Jeremy just continues
to improve.''
He might not quite be a comet, but he could very well become a star.
〝林持續進步是球隊進化的一大部分”。
他或許不會是顆慧星，但他很有可能成為一個明星。
