The Understated Jeremy Lin: A Little Redemption 【翻译】低调的林书豪：一点点救赎 原文: http://ppt.cc/hC1b 译者:边城渡口 出处百度林书豪吧翻译: http://tieba.baidu.com/p/2011819009 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. 上周五休斯敦火箭队在丰田中心迎战纽约尼克斯队，这是林书豪与旧东家的第一场战役。 如果说这场比赛具有某种救赎意义，那麽两队其实都在刻意低调处理这层意义。 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，尼克斯队的杰森-基德说出没有人想让林书豪「难堪」这席话，实在显得既多 余又突兀。而林书豪只说想挽救火箭胜率不让它低於.500，除此之外，其他让他想赢这场 比赛的动机，他始终没有公开地说。 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，球迷却怀着截然不同的期待。对每一个林书豪的粉丝而言，甚至在某种程度上不单 单支持林的火箭迷而言，这是一个让林可以在曾经抛弃他的球队面前露脸的机会。这是粉 丝的救赎，甚於林的救赎。而比赛的结果，林和「难堪」二字根本沾不上边。 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，尼克斯队彻底完败，令人很难想到它是一支争夺总冠军的队伍却不去记得这场比 赛。火箭队以131-103 迫使他们吞下败仗，就像奶奶在过节时为了存放过剩的食物，尽量 挪出冰箱的位子一样。 吃下败仗吧，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. 不管是林书豪遍布全球的粉丝，还是任何人觉得林书豪突然被驱逐出纽约受了亏待，正义 得到伸张，最美妙不过。这场比赛虽然没有重现林来疯，林书豪却扎扎实实拿下13分和7 个篮板。和队友钱德勒-帕森斯相比，这仅是中规中矩的数据。帕森斯刚开始出手八投全 中，并砍下职业生涯新高31分。詹姆斯-哈登是蓄了胡子的猛龙 ，他静悄悄地拿下33分， 和帕森斯合力让卡梅隆-安东尼的37分瞬间被人遗忘。 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. 看着自己支持的球队迎头痛击对手是很有趣的事，不信的话问问巨人队的球迷，星期天赢 了绿湾包装工人队的感受如何。但是，更让这场比赛锦上添花的是，看见林书豪再度充满 自信地打球，就连代理教练凯尔文-桑普森也说林书豪找回他在场上那股神气的模样。这 样的自信是会感染队友的。 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. 火箭队在第一节得到开季以来35分的新高，与尼克斯这支以防守着称的球队交战，火箭队 整个看起来应付自如。林书豪自11月9日和孟菲斯灰熊队一战後，第一次命中率达.500， 而且投进过去六场比赛中的第一个三分球。他还需要进一步提升投篮命中率，但这是一个 好的起点，让他把之前五场低迷的表现置之脑後。 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. 如果休斯敦火箭队只是单纯为了赢球，背後并没有一个更大、更团结一致的目标，那我很 可能被骗了。无论真相是什麽，在这场比赛中火箭仅是获胜，粉丝却是大获全胜。 ==================================== 完 =================================== --
