Dickey When director Evan Leong and his crew first approached Jeremy Lin during his senior year at Harvard, the hope was to get enough material for a web series that might interest Asian-Americans, Christians and other fans of the obscure NBA journeyman. What they did instead was catch the documentary filmmaker's version of lightning in a bottle -- and wound up at Sundance with a film that's a buzzer-beater away from closing a distribution deal. 当导演梁伊凡团队在向当时在哈佛读大四的林书豪提出拍片的要求时，他们计划的是拍 一系列在网路上播放的短片，目标观众则是亚裔美国人、基督徒和这位在NBA载浮载沉的 球员的球迷们。 然而在日舞影展公开放映後，因导演的灵光一闪而成就出的这部纪录片，与发行商的协议 只差临门一脚了 "We pursued this with Jeremy and his family declined numerous times," said Brian Yang, a producer on the film. "They just didn't want the attention, and he's a conservative guy. They really didn't understand, they were like, 'Why would you want to put a camera on Jeremy? He's just a kid playing baskeball at Harvard.'" 「当初在追着他们提出拍片计划时，林书豪和他的家人拒绝我们好多次，」纪录片制作人 Brian Yang回忆道。「他们不希望受到关注，而林书豪是个保守谨慎的人。他们完全无法 理解，觉得『你们为何要拍Jeremy？他不过是个在哈佛打篮球的孩子。』」 When Lin was selected for the NBA, the idea made more sense to the family, and the filmmakers started tracking Lin during his rookie year with the Golden State Warriors. During that time, a member of Lin's sports management team became involved with the filmmaking team, and the player and project became firmly intertwined. 当林书豪加入NBA後，他的家人才比较能理解拍摄纪录片的意义为何，摄影团队从林书豪 在金州勇士的菜鸟球季开始追踪他的职业篮球生涯，同时林书豪经纪团队的成员之一也成 为摄影团队一员，从那时候开始，这名球员和这个纪录片企划终於有了深入而密切的合 作。 "The idea was to make a modest, simple webisode series," said Yang, "just to tell his story of what made him who he was." 「我们原始想法是制作一系列简单真实的影片在网路上播放，让网友了解林书豪这个 人，」Brain Yang说。 Then, last February happened. 然後，去年二月那件事发生了。 Having played sparingly and on the verge of being cut by the New York Knicks, Lin was thrust into a starting role and led a remarkable seven-game winning streak that generated a global following known as "Linsanity." Suddenly, Lin was being bombarded with requests from major directors and media outlets to capture it all -- but the family remained loyal to the ones who'd been with them all along. 在极少的上场时间与被纽约尼克裁员的危机下，林书豪一夕爆发空降球队先发并成就了 闻名全球的「Linsanity」经典七连胜。突然间，许多知名导演和媒体平台的拍摄邀约像 炸弹般不断向林书豪袭来，但是这家人最终还是和一直长期拍摄林书豪的梁伊凡团队合 作。 "Everything changed," Yang said. "We went from making an eight-part webisode series to a feature-length doc in a real hurry. People were like, 'How did you know this was going to happen?'" Yang and his fellow producers, many Asian-American basketball fans who had been tracking Lin since his earliest days at Harvard, knew all along how lucky they were to have exclusive access during a truly global viral sports phenomenon. 「计画完全被颠覆，从8段网路短片一瞬间变成长篇纪录片，我们老是被问说『你们怎麽 知道这一切会发生？』」Brain Yang说。 从林书豪在哈佛时期就已经在追踪他的消息的Brain Yang和制作团队的人（许多都是亚裔 美籍篮球迷），自始至终都知道他们有多幸运可以在这个漫延全球的体育风暴里能够独家 近距离接触暴风中心。 "There is footage from that period, when he was just getting hounded and stalked by the media," Yang said. "There are definitely scenes in there where you're like, 'Wow, that's what this was really like.'" 「我们拍摄到他当时被媒体紧追不舍的情景，」Brain Yang说，「那些景象你绝对无法想 像!!! 但我可以告诉你， 相信你的眼睛吧！。」 ***************************************************************************** 有错请指正 感谢Peter16大赞助最後一句翻译~:D --
