Houston Rockets: Jeremy Lin’s Benching Makes Team Better, and Gives Him a Chance at the Sixth Man of the Year Award 让林从板凳出发会让火箭变得更好 也让他有机会拿到最佳第六人 Link: http://0rz.tw/hm8a2 In a not-so-shocking revelation, it turns out that Jeremy Lin will be coming off the bench in the Houston Rockets' first regular-season game, according to CSNHouston.com. 在不意外的状况下, 小林变板凳了 Kevin McHale has elected to go with Patrick Beverley at point guard October 30 against the Charlotte Bobcats, which immediately makes Lin a candidate for the Sixth Man of the Year Award. 冰箱决定让PB当先发, 也就是说林直接成为最佳第六人的候选人 Throughout the summer and fall, I was steadfast in my belief that the Rockets would be better off bringing Lin, a defensive liability who had trouble meshing with Rockets star James Harden last season, off the bench. Now, Lin coming off the bench is not just a guess, projection, or wishful thinking -- it's a reality. 从夏天开始, 我就认为林, 防守上的负担并且在上季无法跟胡子融合, 最适合 从板凳出发. 现在, 板凳已经不适猜测, 预估, 幻想, 而是真实 Did Kevin McHale make the right move? Of course he did. With Beverley starting, the Rockets' starting lineup will be significantly better defensively, and pretty much the same offensively. Beverley isn't an offensive powerhouse by any means, but he is better in catch-and-shoot situations than Lin, which is something that's increasingly important for the new-look Rockets, who will need ample space for their newest superstar, Dwight Howard, to operate in the post. 冰箱做得决定正确吗? 当然. PB先发可以让先发组在保持现有火力下得到防守升级 PB完全不是进攻的兵工厂, 但是他C&S比林好. 这在新火箭体制下是越来越重要的技能 因为当DH在蓝下时, 需要广大的空间. The two most important things to remember about Lin's benching is that it will have a positive impact on Houston, and that it doesn't mean that Patrick Beverley is "better" than Lin. With Lin leading the second unit, the Rockets will boast one of the most offensively dynamic benches in the NBA. Lin will thrive in his new role as sixth man, and there's no doubt in my mind that he'll be a candidate for Sixth Man of the Year. 在林板凳这事情上有两件事要记住. 1. 对火箭有正面的冲击 2. 这不是说PB比林好, 完全不是. 而是当林带领第二组时, 火箭将会有 NBA中火力最强大的第二军 林会在第六人上发光发热, 而且在我心中完全没有疑问林将会是 最佳第六人的候选人 In the 2011-12 season, Harden won the Sixth Man of the Year Award while playing for the Oklahoma City Thunder. Despite being the third overall pick by Oklahoma City in 2009, Harden started just seven games in three years for the Thunder, who chose to start a defensive-minded wing in Thabo Sefolosha at the 2. Was Sefolosha a "better" player than Harden? Of course not. Harden's role as the leader of the second unit was instrumental in helping the Thunder make it to the NBA Finals in 2012, which justified Scott Brooks' decision. 在11~12球季, 胡子拿下最佳第六人 尽管他是雷霆队的选秀第三顺位. Brooks 教练还是让防守组沙发当先发 沙发比胡子好吗? 当然不是. 但是胡子当第六人带领第二组其结果是雷霆打进冠军赛 这也是说Brooks 教练做了正确决定 Obviously, Lin is nowhere near as talented of a player as Harden (despite what some misguided individuals may have convinced themselves), but he definitely can make a run for Sixth Man of the Year. Six of the last seven players who have won the Sixth Man of the Year Award were guards, which bodes well for Lin. I project that Lin will still get heavy minutes, and although it might be hard for him to match the 32.1 minutes per game he averaged last season, 28 minutes a night still sounds within the realm of possibility. 当然啦, 林不像胡子这麽有天分 (尽管有些被误导的人这麽相信着) 但林绝对可以竞争今年的最佳第六人 这几年来, 七个当选人中有六个是後卫 也就是说林是相当有机会的 我预测林还是会有很多上场时间, 虽然可能无法达到 32.1 mpg 但很有机会达到 28 mpg In sports, we have a lot of close-minded thinking. We label things "good" or "bad" and we believe wholeheartedly that we're correct. While Lin's benching will certainly drive some Lin enthusiasts crazy, the truth is that the move was a no-brainer. 在运动上, 我们思想是很封闭的, 我们标上 good, bad 标签 然後我们认为我们标的是绝对的 让林从板凳出发会让很多Lin enthusiasts (请恕我不愿意直翻这个) 发疯 但事实上这个决定是 no-brainer (连想都不用去想) Who would you rather have running a loaded second unit: a defense-first floor general like Patrick Beverley or a dynamic offensive force like Lin, who blends the skill set of a 1 and a 2 (just like Jason Terry and Jamal Crawford, who both have Sixth Man of the Year Awards in their trophy cases)? I'll take Lin, and apparently, so will Kevin McHale. 你要让谁带领火力强大的第二组? PB - 一个防守至上的将军 还是 Lin - 拥有1号,2号的身手 (像Jason Terry, Jamal Crawford, 两个都拿到最佳第六人) 我选择林, 显然冰箱也是这麽选择 The bottom line is that Lin will have a fantastic season as the Rockets' sixth man, and that he'll offensive prowess will be magnified against opposing second units. Expect Lin to look fantastic as the first guy off the Rockets bench, and also expect him to still get some late-game minutes alongside Harden, especially when he has the hot hand. 结论就是, 林将会在第六人上有一个非常棒的球技 而且他的攻击能力会在第二组中解放 把林当作板凳的第一把交椅吧 而且林绝对会在第四节关键时刻跟胡子一起上场 尤其他手感火烫的时候 这两篇就是纯粹翻译, 不放感想了 --
