Linsanity Began One Year Ago Today 林来疯开始於一年前的今天 By Will Leitch 来源：http://tinyurl.com/akoxa74　NYmag 照片:http://tinyurl.com/aaztyrc (一年过去得很快) One year ago today, February 4, 2012, the New York Giants were nestled soundly in their Indianapolis hotel beds, waiting to play in Super Bowl XLI against the New England Patriots. Mitt Romney was just about to win Nevada days after his big victory in Florida. 2012年2月4日，一年前的今天，... （嗯，介绍一下那时候的状况，不重要，我们快转到下一段） And the New York Knicks limped into Madison Square Garden at 8-15, having lost eleven of their last fourteen games and completely falling apart. The decision to forgo the point guard position in favor of hoping Carmelo Anthony and Amar'e Stoudemire could figure out a way to play together was proving a disaster; Toney Douglas was setting the position back years. The Knicks' big experiment looked doomed. The lockout-shortened season was going to be over before it even started. When they fell behind 30-20 at the end of the first quarter to the lowly New Jersey Nets, all seemed lost. And then coach Mike D'Antoni got desperate and, for the first time all year, called for his third-string point guard in the first half. He had no choice. There was nobody left, and nothing was working. And just like that: Linsanity had begun. 而纽约尼克队在麦迪逊花园里面对８胜１５败的蹒跚惨况，输了一堆比赛，而且完全 分崩离析。为了让甜瓜和阿骂可以想出办法一起打球，而决定放弃让控卫控球的决定 已经被证明是一场大灾难。道哥在控卫的位置已久。尼克的伟大实验看来已被宣告死 刑。缩水赛季在它开始之前就已经快结束。当他们在对阵纽泽西篮网时，第一节结束 前就以30比20分落後，他们看来完全地迷失了。总教练冷笑话绝望地在这一整年中第 一次在上半场就把他的第三控卫叫上来。他没有选择的余地！他手上已经没有人了， 也完全无法可想。而就在这时候：Linsanity开始了！ If you want to relive the experience, here's the video; it only takes eight minutes. You're hungover anyway. 假如你想重温这段回忆，这里有影片；只需要八分钟。你将再次沉醉。 影片：http://tinyurl.com/7azl7lo You can sort of see the whole Lin narrative, the whole story, in those eight minutes. At the beginning of the clip, Mike Breen is pretty much openly mocking Lin, pointing out how terrible he is on defense and how much better Douglas is than him. By the end, he's doing backflips, and Clyde is saying Lin's "smiling and profiling." And lord the Knicks, bench. Before the Carmelo dramas, before the "80 percent healthy" cracks, before everything inevitably turned sour ... you had the purity of this game, this comeback, this explosion. 你可以在这八分钟看看整个对於Lin的介绍，以及这整个故事。在影片一开始，Mike Breen几乎是公然嘲笑Lin，指出他的防守有多糟，而道哥又比他好多少。到最後，他 反转了他的说法，而另一名球评则开始说起Lin的微笑和生平。在甜瓜人生之前，在 那些"80%健康"的纷扰（其实是85%啦！)之前，在一切不可避免地变酸变臭之前... 你仍拥有这场比赛、这次回顾、这次爆发的纯净回忆。 It's worth remembering how important that game was: The Knicks truly did look like they were toast. The lack of a point guard was their fatal flaw until Lin was just dropped from the heavens. The best part was that he did it again and again and again; that Nets win was the first of seven in a row. It remains one of the great sporting experiences of our lifetime. 我们必须记住这场比赛的重要性：尼克队真的看起来他们已经完蛋了！直到Lin从天而 降之前，没有一个能控球的控卫是他们的致命伤。最棒的是Lin做了一次一次又一次。 从篮网开始，他们开启了七连胜！这是我们一生中经历过伟大的体育经验之一。 Obviously, everything would implode, and there would be anger and frustration on both sides. The irony of that, of course, is that it turned out well for everyone. The Knicks are 30-15 and look like the formidable Eastern Conference opponents to the defending champion Heat. Lin, who has had some struggles this year but hasn't fallen off a cliff, is the point guard for one of the youngest, most exciting teams in the NBA. (They're at 84.3 percent playoff odds this morning.) Everyone is walking away from this in a better place. That night, one year ago tonight, changed the course of Knicks history, of even recent NBA history. Look how much better this team today is than it was that night, and that's minus Lin. Mike D'Antoni is gone, Carmelo and Amar'e are finally playing well together and nobody laughs when Lin comes in the game anymore. Fans thought they were watching a lousy Knicks team play a lousy Nets team. They ended up with one of sports' most amazing evenings. 显然地，所有事向内炸裂，双方也可能都觉得愤怒与受伤。（注：这应该是指尼克不匹 配合约的事）当然，讽刺的是，结果对每个人都是好的。尼克现在３０胜１５负，看来 是东区里对冠军队热火最强有力的竞争对手。而Lin本身，虽然今年有些挣扎，但也没有 坠入悬崖，更是NBA联盟中最年轻、最刺激的一支球队中的控卫。（直到今天早上，他们 仍有84.3%的机率可以进入季後赛。）每个人都已经从分离的伤害中走出，来到更好的位 置。那一夜，一年前的今晚，改变了尼克队队史上的记录，甚至是NBA近年的历史。在少 了Lin之後，看看尼克队现在比去年这一夜好了多少。冷笑话走了，甜瓜和阿骂终於可以 好好地一起打球，再也没有人在Lin进场比赛时耻笑他。球迷原本以为他们是在看烂透的 尼克打烂透的篮网，结果却是体育史上最令人惊奇的一夜之一。 Sports is fun for a million reasons, but among the top of that list is its true, almost random unpredictability. You never know when something miraculous is going to show up out of nowhere. One of those miracles happened a year ago today. Whatever happened after that was epilogue. The experience itself was all that mattered. We're never going to forget it. Today is a day to remember it. And then to move on, and watch the Knicks win tonight in an entirely different, just as satisfying way. 运动可能有一百万种有趣的理由，但最有趣的是它的真实，几乎完全无法预测。你永远 无法知道何时何地又会发生什麽神奇的事。一年前的今天，最神奇的事情发生了。不管 最後是如何收场，这次经验本身才是最重要的。我们永远不会忘记它。 （後面...省略　XDDDDD） 影片：http://tinyurl.com/bfphh4z --
