Jeremy Lin learning from lumps 林书豪从挫折中学习 Posted on November 22, 2012 at 11:22 pm by Jonathan Feigen in General The reminders of Linsanity remain. Each night, as Jeremy Lin leaves the locker room for his pregame warm up routine, crowds of his adoring fans await him, especially on the road where his appearances are still special occasions to be witnessed and celebrated. 有些事、有些人不断提醒着我们林来疯犹存。每晚林书豪结束赛前练习离开时，特别是在 客场，总有一大群粉丝守候着。 They still scream as he emerges from each arena’s tunnel to the court and react with each shot, from the short jumpers he uses to loosen up to the assortment of pullups and the 3-pointers he launches as if he is back in Madison Square Garden taking on the Lakers on that magical Friday night. 他每次进场、每个跳投、每个伸展、每个3分球都引来粉丝的尖叫。就像回到当初在MSG 击败湖人的那个星期五晚上。 “I always joke with him,” said assistant coach Chris Finch, who works with Lin before games and after practices. “I tell him, ‘It’s amazing these people always cheer when I come out on the floor.’ 赛前赛後总是陪着他一起练习的助理教练Chris Finch说：「我每次都跟他开玩笑说，奇 怪，怎麽我每次走出来都有这麽多人为我欢呼。」 Lin notices but has work to do and can do little more than acknowledge the throngs he knows are there to see him from coast to coast. More than the photo shoots and magazine covers, the throngs that still revere him remind of those wild weeks when he became an international sensation and of the scrutiny and expectations that remain. 林知道全国都有热情支持他的粉丝，只是他有工作在身，实在没办法多理会。他们对林不 坠的崇拜，不断提醒着我们那疯狂的几个星期，那段让他名满天下，让他至今仍饱受放大 镜检视与备受期待的岁月。 “I think I’ve come to accept and get used to that,” Lin said. “It’s one of those things, it comes with the territory. Good game, bad game. There’s going to be a lot of people watching and talking.” 林说：「我想我已经渐渐接受也习惯了。这原本就是不可避免的。不管打得好、打得烂， 总是会有许多眼睛盯着、许多嘴巴谈着。」 He knows that the spotlight will be focused on him again tonight, with his first meeting with the Knicks in one of those games that others circle as soon as the schedules are released. (He said he never looks at the schedule and was unsure of the date of his return to New York on Dec. 17.) 他知道今晚焦点会集中在他身上，毕竟行程表一出来，大家都立刻将他第一次与尼克交手 这一天圈起来。（但他说自己从不看行程表，并不清楚是不是12.17做客纽约。） The first meeting since the Knicks’ decision not to match the Rockets’ back-loaded, three-year, $25.1 million offer sheet comes with his former club holding the NBA’s best record and Lin struggling as he never has before. 离开纽约後即将首次和前东家交手的他正经历前所未有的低潮，而尼克队目前正打出 NBA最佳记录。 In a sense, that makes it easier for Lin to ignore the circumstances of today ’s reunion. Making just 33.3 percent of his shots this season and just 22.9 percent of his 3-pointers without making even one 3-pointer in his past five games, he has more pressing concerns. 某程度而言，林反而因此比较能无视重逢的戏码。命中率低迷、连5场没投中一颗3分球的 他还有更大的压力要克服。 “I know I’ve been exposed a lot early in the season and I have a lot to work on,” Lin, 24, said. “I’m young. I probably started 30-something games (37) in my entire career. That’s what I have to keep in mind, even though I want everything to happen the way I want it to now.” 「我知道季初以来我一直饱受蹂躏，我还有许多要努力的空间。」「我还年轻，只先发过 30几场，即使我很希望一切能如我所愿，仍然不得不牢记着这一点，」 New team, approach In many ways, the Rockets have been happy with Lin’s play and development. He has been active defensively and on the boards. He has pushed the pace and run the Rockets offense well. Though sharing playmaking duties with James Harden, he has kept his assists up and his turnovers are down. But his shooting has fallen off dramatically, and twice in the past four games, he has been benched for the final five minutes, including Wednesday when he was 2-for-9 with five turnovers. 火箭队其实很满意林在各方面的表现和进步。他防守积极、能推进节奏、掌控进攻方向。 在和Harden分享球权的情形下，还能增加助攻、减少失误。只不过他的命中率狂掉，最近 4场更是惨状加倍，还在最後关键时刻坐板凳，星期三甚至缴出9投2中5失误的悲剧。 Some of the change in his play can be attributed to the change in his role and adapting to his new team’s style of play. With the Knicks, then badly shorthanded with Carmelo Anthony and Amar’e Stoudemire unavailable, Lin handled the ball in the middle of the floor with shooters, particularly 3-point specialist Steve Novak, around him. 林的表现落差部分来自角色的改变，和还在适应新团队的打法。在尼克的时候，由於两大 明星缺阵，需人孔急，林总是手握球权，指挥着身边的射手群，包括3分球专家Novak。 With the Rockets, he plays with two post players and is often on the wing while Harden handles the ball in the pick-and-rolls. Lin said he has struggled to get in a “rhythm,” citing the issue many young players have when they go from featured star to a more limited role, though for most, that transition comes with the jump from college to the NBA. 而在火箭队，他必须和2位篮底球员合作（这句我不懂，烦请懂得人赐教），并且通常在 Harden pick-and-rolls的时候得站在两翼。林说他一直找不到节奏，这是许多原本是主 力明星的年轻球员角色被限缩後常见的现象，只不过大都发生在离开大学刚进入职业球员 阶段。 “In New York, the ball was in his hands all the time,” Finch said. “He’s a big-game hunter. He makes a big play and wants the next big play right away. In our offense, the ball moves a little bit more between players. He doesn’t always play in the same rhythm as he played in New York. I think that ’s affected some of his confidence and shot-making ability.” Finch说：「他在纽约的时候总是球权在握，时时想着要制造得分，刚投进这一球立刻想 着下一球。而在我们的攻击系统里，球通常在2个球员间流动。所以他无法用纽约的节奏 打球，我想这一点影响了他的自信和得分能力」 Lin’s strengths might be his devotion to the game and ability to reason his way through it, but they can become weaknesses, too, leading him to pile pressure on himself and think too much when he should relax and play. 林的意志也许让他能全心投入比赛，也让他说服自己撑过去，但同时也成为他的弱点，使 他将大量压力堆积在自己身上，当应该放松心情享受比赛时总是想太多， “I’m still getting to the point I can relax more,” Lin said. “I want to make the right decision every single time. I want to have a great game every single game. That’s how I’ve always been. I’ve been given an ability to think the game and reason the game. Sometimes I over-think. I’ve been given this passion, this desire for the sport and sometimes I care too much to the point it backfires. It’s learning to find that balance to every day to get closer to where I want to go.” 「我还在努力让自己更放松。」「我希望每次都能做出正确的判断，希望每次都打出一场 好比赛，我一直抱持这样的态度，也一直拥有思考比赛战略、推断局势的能力。有时候我 会想太多了。我一直对篮球怀抱热情、渴望，有时後甚至在乎到适得其反。现在我正学着 在两者中间取得平衡，才能慢慢接近我想达成的目标。」 Some of that will not change, no matter how often he is told to relax. After he apologized to Rockets acting head coach Kelvin Sampson for air-balling the potential game-winning 3-pointer against the Heat, teammate Chandler Parsons said, “He wants to win so bad. He wants to play well so bad. It’s just who he is.” 不管别人多常提醒他要放松，有些时候牛牵到北京还是牛。在他因为面包球向代教练 Sampson道歉後，Parsons曾说：「他超想赢，超想打得好。这就是他的个性。」 Sampson, however, believes that Lin’s struggles in recent weeks are part of the usual process. Though in his third season, Lin became a sudden star not too long ago. That’s part of what made his story so compelling. It also means he became the face of the Rockets franchise over the summer after just 64 career games, just 25 starts. “Jeremy is a rookie,” Sampson said. “I don’t care how old he is. He played 20-some games last year. Most rookies will have ups and downs. He has his good moments and he has moments when he struggles. We’re going to stay with him. We’re going to keep giving him confidence. 不过Sampson认为林最近几周的低迷是常见的过程。虽然已经迈入第三个NBA球季，但他跃 升为明星其实没多久。这也是林来疯的故事如此让人着迷的原因之一。也就是说，他生涯 只打了64场球、25场先发，就在一个暑假间成为火箭队的看板人物。「他还只是个菜 鸟。」Sampson说「不管年纪多大，他去年终究才打了20几场球。大多数菜鸟都会起伏不 定，他有过辉煌的表现，也会有低迷的时候。我们会一直陪着他，会一直给他信心。」 “He’s not struggling any more than James (Harden) has struggled at times. There’s so much more focus on when Jeremy has struggled. All our guys have struggled. We don’t look at Jeremy any different than anybody else. “For us, he’s another one of our players we have to help and find ways to get better. The thing I love about Jeremy, he continues to work. He continues to look for ways to be better. The one thing he must do is he has to stay aggressive. He has to keep shooting and he has to keep attacking.” 「有时Harden挣扎得并不比他少。但是大家都只注意到林书豪的挣扎。其实这里每个人都 挣扎过，我们没有把林书豪当成特例。」 「对我们来说，他就是另一个需要我们帮助他找到出口的球员而已。我很喜欢林书豪一点 ，他努力不懈。他不断想办法让自己进步。有一件事他一定得做到，那就是要保持积极的 态度，不断攻击。」 ‘A great situation’ With the Knicks in town, he has reminders of when it all worked and the changes in his life he could never anticipated. He expected to be back with the Knicks and wanted to be, but is happy with how things have worked out, saying they have never gone for him the way he expected. Instead, he will revisit the Linsanity part of his past Friday and again next month, hoping to find the shots during games that still make his admirers shout before they begin. 这次林来疯团队在休士顿再相会以及下次回到纽约时，林希望在比赛中能找回当时的身手 ，不负粉丝期望。 “I’m just going to play, keep playing,” Lin said. “It’s funny. It’s ironic. Thanksgiving is a great reminder to be thankful for everything I have. I’m going to go out there tomorrow and play my heart out and try to approach it the same, just play my heart out and be OK with the results whatever they may be, trusting in God. “It didn’t shake out the way everyone thought it would, but I’m still very, very at peace with it the way everything happened. I think I’m in a great situation right now.” 「我会尽力去打，毫不懈怠。」「很有趣也很讽刺的是，感恩节的意义是提醒我们感恩所 拥有的一切。明天上场时，我会拿出全力，保持平常心打球，全力出赛，不管结果如何都 坦然接受，一切交给上帝。」 「事情并没有如大家所预期的发展，但是对这一切我仍然平心看待。我想我现在很好。」 http://t.co/ldhr4KeQ --
