Many said Lin wasn't worth it, that his hot streak was the result of a perfect storm he could never duplicate. Some who thought the Knicks could match the offer saw Lin more as a marketing tool than a player who could help them win. 尼克应不应该match这份offer sheet的争论立刻袭卷全美，尽管第三年的薪资会因为 NBA豪华税制度而让尼克多付4千万美金。很多人说Lin不值得那个价钱，因为他那如 花火般光辉灿烂的爆发将永远不可能复制。而部份认为尼克应该match的人，也仅仅 将Lin视为一个行销工具而非可以帮助球队胜利的球员。 Reports emerged about Lin having bailed out on the team by not playing hurt in the playoffs, about Knicks owner James Dolan feeling betrayed and deceived by Lin. 报导揭露出Lin被球队释出是因为季後赛他不愿意带伤上阵，尼克老板Dolan感觉被Lin 背叛与欺骗。 If Lin forgot for a moment, he was quickly reminded. 如果Lin曾短暂地忘记了外界对他的质疑，那麽他已很快地被唤醒。 "I will always, always have doubters," Lin said. "But I really want to reach my potential to bring glory to God. That is more motivation than haters and doubters. I want to work just as hard, give just as much, whether or not I have haters." 「永远、永远都会有人质疑我，」Lin说。「但我真的想发挥我所能以荣耀上帝，这比 那些酸民和质疑者更能激励我。不管有没有酸民，我所想的只是持续不断的努力并付出 一切。」 Lin took extra steps to remain the same person he always has been. He turned down multiple late-night talk shows and started limiting interviews. Every news conference, he talked about his teammates, sharing the spotlight. He looked to find ways to serve them -- picking up others' trash on the team plane, volunteering to carry bags, opening doors, sparking conversation. Lin采取了许多方法让自己不要被这一切影响。他拒绝许多脱口秀节目的邀约并限制 媒体专访的次数；在每次赛後记者会上，他总是提起队友，让他们同样受到媒体关爱； 他寻找方法服务队友们--像是在搭乘球队专机时帮忙捡其他人的垃圾、自愿提行李、 开门或主动找话聊。 He even passed up millions of dollars by rejecting endorsement deals. He wound up signing only two, with Volvo and Steiner Sports (he already had a Nike deal). He said he'd rather focus on getting better instead of racking up endorsements and spending his time away from the court making appearances and doing commercials. 他甚至推掉了数百万美金的代言邀约，只与Vovlo和Steiner Sports合作（而Nike是原本 就签了约的）。他说与其接一堆代言然後把时间花在公开活动和拍广告上，他宁可利用 这些时间加强自己。 Even signing an offer sheet with Houston was a financial sacrifice, as Lin walked away from the millions he could only get in the country's top market. The decision prompted a Forbes.com article on how Jeremy Lin May Be The Dumbest Harvard Grad Ever. 和休士顿签下这纸合约意味着财务上的损失，因为Lin原本可以在全美最大的市场赚到 更多的钱，这个决定也让富比士官网立刻推出一篇「林书豪将是有史以来最笨的哈佛 毕业生」的文章来大加讨论。 But Lin, after the initial shock of it all, said he has regained his center. 而Lin，在惊讶於外界如此反应剧烈之後，他说他已经回归本心。 "It just comes down to knowing who I am as a person," Lin said. "People who know me know I didn't want all this. I didn't ask for this. It was uncomfortable." 「这最终人让了解到我的本质，」Lin说。「了解我的人都知道我并不想要这一切， 我也没有要求过，这让我感到不舒服。」 Lin said he isn't concerned with matching the production he managed in New York. Certainly, that would be a tough feat. In 25 starts with New York, Lin averaged 18.2 points, 7.7 assists and 3.7 rebounds. Lin said he doesn't have a guarantee he's the starter, nor does he need one. He said what matters to him is the opportunity, and that Houston believes in him. Lin说他并不担心无法达到在纽约创下的成绩。的确，这是个艰难的挑战。在尼克先发 25场中，他平均拿到18.2分、7.7次助功和3.7个篮板球。Lin说他并没有收到保证先发 的承诺，而他也不需要。对他而言，「机会」是最重要的，而火箭愿意给予信任。 But even if his astronomical production doesn't follow him to Houston, he said he's sure the hype and attention will. He said "absolutely" he would love all the hype to end, but said there was "no chance" that would happen even though he's leaving the bright lights of New York. 然而假使他在火箭的成绩不若以往，他也知道外界的炒作与关注仍不会消失。他说他 绝对很开心那些过度的炒作消失，但也清楚明白就算离开了纽约，这个想法也只是奢望。 This time around, though, Lin said he'll be even more ready for it. 然而这一次，Lin说他会准备好的。 "The only way it will is if I fade out and get worse and worse," Lin said. "But I plan on getting better." 「唯一消弭炒作的可能就是我表现得越来越差，」Lin说。 「但是，我打算变得更好！」 *************************************************************************** 翻译有误请不吝指正 --
