[外絮] 阿金從前也懷疑過"林書豪有什麼優點呢?"
Nets coach Kenny Atkinson once wondered about PG Jeremy Lin: 'Is this kid any
good?' http://tinyurl.com/hcjh3rk by ESPN
籃網新總教練阿金, 從前也曾懷疑過林書豪, 想說:"這孩子有什麼長處嗎??"
The New York Knicks were on the road at some point during the 2011-12 season
and, as Kenny Atkinson remembers it, a fringe NBA player named Jeremy Lin was
getting torched during a 3-on-3 practice game ... by another assistant coach.
2011-12球季某次尼克前往客場比賽的時候, 阿金回憶到, 一個叫做林書豪沒什麼人認得
的NBA球員, 在三對三的練習中被另一個助理教練打爆了
“And I’m thinking to myself, ‘Is this kid any good?’” Atkinson said he
wondered then.
阿金那時候狐疑的自問:"這孩子有什麼長處嗎?"
This, of course, was before “Linsanity,” before the undrafted point guard
out of Harvard captivated the world with a stretch of stunningly dominant
play later that same season.
當然, 這發生在"Linsanity"之前, 在這位選秀落榜&哈佛畢業的控衛用一連串極具統治力
的表現震驚這世界之前
The Knicks had claimed Lin off waivers in late December 2011; Atkinson was
New York’s player-development assistant at the time, assigned to work with
the team’s end-of-the-bench guys.
尼克在2011年12月下旬找來了剛被揮棄的林書豪, 那時阿金是尼克的球員發展助教, 被指
派去訓練球隊裡位處板凳深處末梢的球員們
“He was kind of an afterthought,” Atkinson said of Lin. “He was part of
the group that didn’t play, and I was working with that group on a daily
basis.”
阿金說:"林書豪那時是屬於次要球員, 他那時處於沒能獲得上場時間的小團體, 而我就是
負責每天都去訓練培養這種球員的人"
Because they weren’t getting any in-game minutes, Atkinson pushed Lin and
his other teammates who were out of the rotation hard during practices,
putting them through rigorous drills, 1-on-1s and 3-on-3s that often included
Atkinson himself.
因為這群球員沒能獲得任何上場時間, 阿金就讓林跟這群組的其他人接受他嚴厲的訓練,
讓他們一對一, 三對三的打, 往往阿金自己也會下場一起練習
Atkinson and Lin bonded in the gym, arriving early and leaving late.
在這體育館裡, 阿金和林書豪建立起了關係, 他們總是早早就到, 卻很晚才離開
“I mean, this guy wakes up at 6 a.m. every morning,” Lin said of Atkinson,
according to the New York Post. “I’ll text after a game at midnight, 1 o’
clock when I go home, and I’ll say, ‘Hey, can I look at those turnovers?
Can I look at the upcoming team? How they run pick-and-rolls?’ And he’ll
have the film ready when I walk into the facility the next morning.”
林書豪回憶到:"阿金每天都是早上六點就起床了, 我往往在深夜回到家後發訊息給他, 問
他說能不能讓我看看我那些失誤? 可以讓我看看下一次對戰球隊嗎? 可以讓我看看他們怎
樣打檔拆的嗎? 然後隔天早上當我再走進體育館時, 就會發現阿金都把這些準備好了"
Said Atkinson: “I think it was just the trust that I was going to be that
guy that was going to be with him every day -- even if he was probably going
to get cut and go back to the D-League and might be out of the league.
阿金對此說到:"這就是我想在他心中建立起的信賴感, 即使他那時看來很可能再被裁掉然
後回到發展聯盟繼續努力, 或是再也無法回到NBA"
“But one thing about him was he just kept at it.”
"但他就只是單純的持續努力"
Atkinson gives Knicks coach Mike D’Antoni credit for always believing in Lin
and having an affinity for him as a player, “but I think people would be
lying to you if they said this was a guy that was about to explode.”
阿金對於D'Antoni總是信任林書豪給予肯定, 他說:"但我想當有人跟你說""嘿你知道嗎?
這小子要大爆發了喔""時, 往往都是謊言"
Exactly.
真心不騙
No one saw this explosion coming, not even the Knicks themselves. They were
on the verge of releasing Lin before he busted out in a big way, taking over
New York City and becoming the toast of the town in the process.
沒人事先看出林書豪的爆發, 尼克自己也是, 那時尼克幾乎就要放掉林了, 林書豪卻用最
狂暴的姿態掀起了這場林來瘋, 征服了整個紐約並成為舉世焦點
“When he hit the [winning 3-point] shot in Toronto, it gave me chills,”
Atkinson said. “It was like when you see a great Broadway show or a great
symphony. Those are moments where you get emotional. It wasn’t just, ‘Wow,
we won!’ To see that kid and what he went through and see that this was
actually possible, it wasn’t just a happy moment. It was an emotional moment.
阿金說:"當林書豪在多倫多砍進那顆致勝三分球時, 我全身都為之顫慄起來了, 就像是妳
去看一場激彩的百老匯秀或是交響樂一樣, 他帶來的那些精彩片段總能帶起觀看者的情緒
, 而不只是讓球迷們大喊"喔耶我們贏了, 走! 去吃雞排", 去看林的比賽看他努力突破過
的種種, 然後看到林書豪把這些努力都變成真實, 這不僅僅是令人開心的時刻, 而是讓人
情緒為之狂熱啊"
After the season, however, Atkinson and Lin both left New York. Atkinson
became an assistant in Atlanta, while Lin signed with Houston before moving
on to the Los Angeles Lakers and, later, the Charlotte Hornets.
但那季結束後, 阿金與林雙雙離開了紐約, 阿金成了老鷹的助教, 林到了火箭然後輾轉再
去了湖人跟黃蜂
They kept in touch, but obviously weren’t as close as they had been. And
being competitors changed their old player-coach relationship. For example,
Lin asked Atkinson on multiple occasions to break down his game and see how
he could improve, but Atkinson had to apologetically decline.
他們仍維持著聯繫, 但顯然的沒像當初在尼克時那樣親密; 不再是同一隊的戰友後以前的
那些殷殷教導也隨之消失, 像是林書豪曾請教過阿金一些問題, 該如何突破當時的一些困
境, 但阿金只能抱歉的保持沉默
“It was hard because I saw things in his game -- his turnovers, being a more
efficient player, and stuff I saw defensively,” Atkinson said. “One game I
saw him overtraining before pregame. In my mind I was like, ‘What are you
doing?’ But we played them that night, and I thought it could help us.
阿金說:"他那些提問對我來說很難去回應, 因為在他的比賽中我看到了他的失誤, 他努力
去做個更有效率的球員, 以及他在防守上的表現; 有一場比賽我看到他在賽前過度練習,
我心想他在幹嘛呀?, 但那晚是我們彼此球隊互戰, 而我認為這對我的球隊有幫助"
“And that was tough because I love the guy, but he became the competition,
and I felt like for the team I was with, that’s how I had to approach it.”
"這樣真的對我來說很艱難, 因為我喜愛林書豪這個人, 但他卻是敵對方, 我只能做對我
所屬球隊好的事情, 人在江湖啊~"
Atkinson and Lin are far past Linsanity now, reunited with the Brooklyn Nets,
this time as first-year head coach and unequivocal No. 1 point guard/team
leader. Atkinson was at the forefront of Brooklyn’s recruiting pitch to land
its top free-agent target, and Lin ultimately signed a three-year, $36
million contract to join the Nets.
林來瘋過後阿金與林漸行漸遠, 如今卻在籃網再度聚首; 從前的助教與板凳控衛, 如今已
變成菜鳥總教練跟籃網頭號控衛兼球隊領袖, 阿金今夏身處籃網引援自由球員戰線的最前
線, 水到渠成的林書豪就以3Y/$36M加盟籃網
“I think he’s an improved player,” Atkinson said of Lin. “I think all the
experiences he had to go through with Houston and L.A. -- all the struggles
-- were important for his development. And then to be with Cliff [Hornets
head coach Steve Clifford], where he did a really good job and stepped up his
game defensively and turned the ball over less -- I thought Charlotte was
great for him and helped convince me even more that he was ready to assume a
larger role. His performance in the playoffs was pretty good, and you could
tell when it counted Cliff was counting on him, and that was important to me.
In a vacuum, Linsanity wasn’t enough to say we wanted to bring him here.”
阿金說:"我認為林書豪比從前更好了, 之前在火箭湖人所有經歷過的事, 承受過的煎熬,
都成為他成長茁壯的養分, 之後去了黃蜂在Clifford麾下林書豪也表現得很好, 防守更精
進, 失誤也變少了, 我覺得在黃蜂的日子幫助林書豪很多, 也讓我對他去肩負更大角色的
想法更有信心. 他在季後賽的表現著實可圈可點, 而當Clifford需要去倚靠林時, 大家也
能看到林書豪的表現, 這些對我來說相當重要, 大家自己人跟你講白的, 只有林來瘋是不
足以讓我們把林書豪帶過來籃網的了"
Atkinson envisions Lin playing alongside Greivis Vasquez and Randy Foye and
being able to potentially replicate the success he had playing alongside
Hornets guard Kemba Walker. Atkinson also envisions Lin, who thrives in
pick-and-roll situations, playing off the ball more than he did in D’Antoni’
s offense.
阿金想像著林書豪跟Vasquez以及Foye一起上場的畫面, 覺得應該能像上季他跟Kemba搭配
那樣的成功, 他同時預期擅長打檔拆的林書豪進攻時可以比當年林來瘋時打更多空手跑位
“Mike D’s offense is more point-guard-centric,” Atkinson said. “It’s the
Steve Nash model. But this will be a little bit more Atlanta-San Antonio
style, a little bit more touches from other guys.”
阿金說:"D'Antoni的進攻更以控衛為中心, 這是Steve Nash風格, 但新球季我的進攻會更
像是揉合了老鷹跟馬刺的特點, 更強調從隊友端接到球做進攻"
The Nets are in rebuilding mode, but they’re hoping Lin, who has had an
up-and-down career, can regain the dominance he showed during Linsanity, with
his former assistant coach in New York -- the one he still loves making fun
of and joking around with -- by his side.
籃網雖處在重建階段, 但仍希望林書豪搭配阿金可以重拾林來瘋時的統治力
“I’ve been saying it was just a matter of time for him because I know how
good he is, I know how much he was there for me in New York,” Lin told the
New York Times upon Atkinson’s hiring in Brooklyn. “When you’re around
him, you kind of understand there’s something different about him -- his
energy, his passion, the juice he approaches his work with. He doesn’t leave
any stone unturned.”
林書豪說:"我總說成為總教練對阿金來說只是時間問題, 因為我清楚他有多好, 只要你有
機會跟他共事就會知道他跟其他教練的不同, 他的能量, 他的熱情, 他在努力工作時投注
的心力, 他總是千方百計的把工作做到最好"
PS. leave no stone unturned = 竭盡心力 or 千方百計
