Finally, Linsanity comes home Linsanity终於回家了！ 原文来源：http://tinyurl.com/a7kab3u Linsanity certainly made its way to the Bay Area last season, but only in spirit. 上一季的林来疯确实曾经袭卷过湾区，但只有精神同在。 Now, Linsanity is arriving in the flesh. Jeremy Lin turned the NBA upside down last season when he emerged from the end of the New York Knicks' bench to dominate the league for a two-week stretch and became an international phenomenon. 如今，Linsanity本尊终於回来了。 上个赛季林书豪从纽约尼克队的板凳深处跃起，在两个礼拜内主宰了联盟， 把NBA彻底疯狂了一把，并且成为国际上的风云人物。 For the first time since that whirlwind rise, Lin will play in his home area against the franchise that gave him his first out-of-nowhere shot when he takes the floor as the Houston Rockets' point guard on Tuesday night at Oracle Arena. 在旋风兴起後，本周二晚上在Oracle Arena，林将第一次以休士顿火箭队控卫的身份 ，重回故乡与给他第一次机会进入联盟的旧东家比赛。 "I definitely remember those (Warriors) days, because without them, I wouldn't be the player I am now or be where I am right now," Lin said. Lin, who grew up in Palo Alto and played sparingly as a rookie for the Warriors before being cut just before the 2011-12 season, said being back in the Bay Area hasn't hit him just yet. 林坦言："我当然记得那些岁月，因为如果没有那些，我也不会是现在这个我或者身处 现在的位置。" 林自小生长於Palo Alto，在2011-2012年赛季被勇士队裁员之前，他也在这里度过他的 菜鸟年，但他表示重回湾区尚未对他造成任何影响。 While trimming the athletic tape off his ankles after Monday's practice at the Olympic Club in San Francisco, Lin said he expects the emotions to come flooding back once he gets into Oracle Arena. 在旧金山的奥林匹克俱乐部完成周一的训练後，林一边整理着脚踝的运动绷带，一边 表示他预期在他踏入Orcal Arena的那一刻，所有的情绪会如同潮水般涌来。 His mother has taken the brunt of responsibilities in what Lin called "easily my busiest game of year in terms of outside stuff." She set up a luxury box for about 20 close friends and family, some courtside seats have been reserved, and his former coaches have been given spots right behind the Rockets' bench. 林妈妈已经处理好林口中所说"最繁忙球季中的所有外务"。她已经为将近20个家人和朋 友订了一个包厢，并且在火箭队的板凳区後面帮他以前的教练们预订了位置。 Lin simply has to play basketball. That's something he hasn't always been allowed to focus on since he started his professional journey. 林只需要好好打球。而这正是他在开始他职业生涯时常常不被允许的。 When the Warriors signed the undrafted rookie out of Harvard, Lin had the added pressure of being presented in his home region as worthy of attention as an Asian player, a devout Christian player and an underdog story. 当勇士队签下这个从哈佛来的落选菜鸟时，林就已经被添加压力要在他的家乡以一个 亚洲球员、虔诚基督徒以及落选新秀的身份来吸引注意力。 He averaged 2.6 points on 38.9 percent shooting, 1.4 assists and 1.2 rebounds in garbage-time minutes. 在垃圾时间，他平均得到2.6分，38.9%的命中率，1.4个助攻以及1.2个篮板。 "When I first signed, I didn't even know if I could make it," Lin said. "I had a lot of growing up to do and a lot of maturation, going from the Ivy League to the NBA. I had never seen anything like that, and going from shooting guard to point guard, at the same time. That was just a lot at once." Lin was the butt of locker-room jokes and the mark of every practice challenge his rookie season. Even today, even after averaging 25 points on 50.9 percent shooting and 9.2 assists during the Linsanity weeks, Lin said he's treated the same way by some of his old Golden State teammates. "当我第一次签约时，我甚至不知道我是否能做到。从长春藤联盟到NBA，我还有很 多要学的，也还有很多需要变得更加成熟。我从未见过像这样的事，同时又要从分 卫变成控卫。一时之间真的太多事要做了。" 林在菜鸟年是休息室和训练中被开玩笑的对象。即便今日，在经过林来疯时期场 均25分，50.9%的命中率，9.2次助攻之後，一些勇士队的老队友对他的态度仍旧 和以前一样。 Lin remains close with Stephen Curry and David Lee - players who he said "took care of" him. But when the three met at a downtown Houston restaurant before last week's game, the most popular conversation topic was still good-natured ribbing of Lin. 林和咖喱、大卫李仍保持亲密。在上周的比赛之前，他们三个在休士顿的餐厅聚餐， 最受欢迎的聊天话题仍是对林的那些玩笑话。 Things are different in Houston. Even with a three-year, $25 million contract, Lin doesn't feel like he's playing under a spotlight. "I think I'm in a good place, where I can grow and mature as a player and sort of go at a reasonable and normal pace," Lin said. "Playing here, my rookie year was tough, because there was a lot of pressure. I wasn't ready for it. New York is New York. Houston is kind of a nice change of pace for me." 在休士顿的情况全然不同。尽管签下了３年两千五百万的合约，林并不觉得他在聚 光灯下打球。 "我觉得我在一个好的地方，一个我可以像一个球员成长和成熟的地方，也能回到 一个正常合理的步伐。在这里（湾区）打球，因为有太多压力，让我的菜鸟年很艰难， 而我还没准备好。纽约就是纽约。休士顿的步调很适合我。" Lin is averaging 12.5 points on 44 percent shooting, 6.1 assists and 3.5 rebounds a game for Houston, where he seems perfectly happy to share attention with All-Star James Harden, likable wing Chandler Parsons and big-money center Omer Asik. 林目前为休士顿打球可以得到场均12.5分，44%命中率，6.1次助攻，3.5次篮板， 他看来也很乐於和全明星胡子、可爱的前锋高富帅以及中锋阿西克分享聚光灯。 Still, Lin is a big-ticket name in more places than the Bay Area. His "SportsCenter" commercial debuted this week with some funny references, and he's working to get the outtakes, which he promises to be even funnier. It's a good thing Lin has a sense of humor, because his path to the present would have broken a lot of people. He was waived by two teams, including his hometown squad and one that cut him on Christmas, and thought a third was coming before Linsanity became a reality. 在除了湾区以外的很多地方，林仍然是卖票的看板球星。他这个礼拜刚播出的 "SportsCenter"广告也有很多有趣的关联，而他仍在处理一些花絮，并保证会比正片 更有趣。 幸好林仍保有幽默感，因为他的成长之路可能会让很多人崩溃。他被两支球队挥弃， 包括他的家乡母队，而另一支球队则在圣诞节开除他，并*想想若不是林来疯发生，他 几乎要被第三支球队抛弃。（*谢谢ib大及彼德大的指正） The Warriors' portion of the trek might be the most difficult. Lin credits Joe Lacob with finding him and said he probably wouldn't have signed with Golden State if not for its owner. But after his inauspicious rookie season, Lin camped out in a gym for five or six months and prepped for Year 2. He was promised he wouldn't be cut, signed a lease for a new apartment, slept in it for two days and then was cut. "Everything happens for a reason, man," Lin said. "God is faithful. I'm glad it happened that way, even though I couldn't see it at that time." 勇士队在这一连串的艰苦历程中或许是最艰难的一部分。林感谢Joe Lacob发掘他，并 表示若不是球团老板，他或许也没办法和勇士队签约。然而在度过艰辛的菜鸟年之後， 林在健身房苦练五六个月为第二年做准备。他曾被承诺不会被开除，却在续签了公寓 租约後两天被开除。 "每件事的发生总有一个原因。上帝是可靠的。尽管在当下我并不能看清，但我很高 兴事情的发展是如此。" --
