Foolish! 尼克白白送走了林，愚蠢！ By Ian O'Connor | ESPNNewYork.com http://espn.go.com/new-york/nba/story/_/id/9973841/new-york-knicks-were-fools -let-jeremy-lin-go-houston-rockets?src=mobile 缩网址http://goo.gl/bk06Vn PHILADELPHIA -- The demotion of Jeremy Lin to sixth man of the Houston Rockets emboldened the doubters and haters of Gotham to declare his firing by the New York Knicks -- and that's what it was, a firing -- a rare show of prudence by a franchise that leads the league in anything but. 费城报导--将林降级到第六人，是火箭给了怀疑者跟酸民勇气去宣称林被纽约开除--没错 ！就是开除— 一场罕见领先联盟的秀。 Yet 16 months after James Dolan confiscated his playbook and keys to the gym, Lin still represents a move that's even dumber than the sight and sound of any NBA owner guaranteeing a mid-November victory over the Atlanta Hawks, of all teams. 然而，在杜兰没收了战术书跟体育馆的钥匙的16个月後，林还是代表着全NBA球队老板中 最蠢的交易动作，比亚特兰大老鹰还蠢。(译者：当时老鹰有做啥蠢交易吗？请知道的人 推文说一下) He was still 23 when the Knicks declined to match his three-year, $25.1 million offer sheet with Houston and let him walk without receiving any compensation in return. 林只有23岁，当尼克决定不要匹配火箭提出的三年25.1M的合约，让林离开而没有得到任 何的补偿。 Twenty three. Gone. For nothing. 23岁。失去了，白白的失去了。 The Knicks gave up on the 23-year-old Jeremy Lin. 尼克放弃了23岁的林。 Starting in place of the injured James Harden on Wednesday night, two nights after he scored 31 off the bench against Toronto, Lin finished with an old-fashioned Linsanity line of 34 points and 12 assists in an overtime loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, sinking enough 3-pointers (nine) to neutralize his turnovers (eight). 礼拜三晚上在胡子受伤後先发上场，两天前对暴龙才从板凳出发得到31分。就像以前的林 来疯风格，在延长赛输给76人，林得到34分、12助攻，投进足够的三分球(9 3Pointer)来 抵销他的失误(8TO)。 "Obviously, I've been trying to get better with it," Lin said of his shooting touch, "and want to get better at it." He was downcast at his locker, blaming himself for not making more plays when it mattered most. He didn't want to talk much about his new and improved game because, you know, a loss is a loss. “显然的，我尝试着去做得更好。”林说着他的手感，”而想要变得更好”。林在置物柜 前垂头丧气，怪自己没有在关键时刻创造出得分机会。林不想谈论他的新技能和进步，因 为，你知道的，输了就是输了。 On to the big city, the place where it all started. When Lin returns Thursday to the Garden, where he hit Raymond Felton and the Knicks for 22 points and eight assists last December to beat them for a second straight time, he will do so wishing that his former crowd would pay more attention to Dwight Howard, the new franchise center. 到大城市-纽约，一切的开端。林将在礼拜四回到MSG，一个他去年12月击败肥顿跟尼克的 地方，得到22分8助攻。他会希望他的前队友会多注意DH12，一个新关键中锋。 "I'm hoping I'll be a subplot," Lin said. "我希望我是个插曲” 林说 (译:希望不是焦点?) A subplot? No, that isn't possible, and not only because his frantic run of Linsanity was once billed by the Garden as the greatest show on earth, no juggling clowns or trapeze acts required. 一个插曲？某抠玲，不只是因为之前疯狂的林来疯一度被标榜为地球上最伟大的表演，而 且不需要杂耍小丑跟空中飞人。 Lin symbolizes Dolan's temper-driven and tone-deaf brand of mismanagement, and the problems with a Knicks roster long on ill-fitting parts and short on the youth and upside that define the 6-foot-3 Rockets guard. Lin is shooting 54 percent from the floor and a staggering 51 percent from 3-point range, numbers that put the entire Knicks roster to shame. 林象徵杜兰脾气驱动和音痴脑袋的管理不善，而尼克出赛名册长期存在不合身的零件，而 且缺乏年轻上进的6尺3的火箭後卫。林总投篮命中率54%，惊人的51%三分命中率。一些让 全尼克球员感到羞耻的数字。 "When he plays with confidence," Howard said, "he's amazing." “当林有自信时，他很惊人”--DH12 And when he doesn't, he's not. 而林没有自信时，他就不惊人了。 Lin remains a developing talent trying to figure out his place in the league. In a short but dizzying period of time, he went from thrice-fired scrub to global phenomenon, from Knicks outcast to freshly signed Rockets savior, from complementary first-string part (after Harden's acquisition) to an instant offense option off the pine (after Howard's acquisition and Patrick Beverley's promotion). 林仍是一个发展中人材，试图找出他在联盟中的位置。在一个短时间内，林从被被开除三 次的免洗球员转变成全球现象，从尼克弃儿到火箭新签的救星，从互补的先发(签到胡子) 到替补的攻击选项(签到DH12跟PB升先发)。 It's been a lot for him to handle. Lin has admitted that he was obsessed last season with trying to duplicate Linsanity in Houston, a failure that left him confronting sleepless nights and a joyless journey from practice to practice, game to game. 这对他来说太沉重。林承认他痴迷上个赛季的表现，而尝试去复制火箭版的林来疯，一失 败就让他面对失眠的夜晚与不开心的练习、比赛。 "I think for a while," said his coach, Kevin McHale, "he wanted to know if he was actually Jeremy Lin from Harvard or if he was Linsanity, and that's … really hard for young kids." "我想了一阵子，林想知道他是”从哈佛来的林”或是”林来疯的林”，而那对年轻的孩 子来说真的很难”--麦教练对林在火箭第一季的挣扎。(译：林在对自己的定位感到困惑) Especially if he's unsure if his coach truly believes in him. As much as McHale tried to sell Lin's move to the second string as a mutual agreement reached after conversations with all parties and point guards involved, a source close to the situation said Lin felt blindsided by the loss of his job. 特别在他不确定教练对他信任与否。不亚於在和各方包括PG谈过之後，教练尝试告诉大家 把林放到替补是双方同意的，一个靠近这个情况的匿名指出，林觉得失去先发很傻眼。 "It was a blow to Jeremy, a big blow," the source said, "because he definitely wanted to start. But he rebounded pretty quickly and realized this would allow him some time away from Harden and more freedom with the ball." “这对林是个打击，很大的打击”匿名者说，”因为他绝对想要先发，但是林很快的反应 而且了解到这会使他稍为离胡子远点，而且得到些球权”。 After Hakeem Olajuwon raved about Lin over the summer and called his potential tandem with Howard "very deadly" during workouts in Aspen, Colo., people close to the point guard wondered why McHale didn't make it clear publicly that Lin wasn't so much beat out by Beverley, a meat-and-potatoes grinder, as he was liberated from Harden's ball-dominating ways. 大梦在Aspen的暑假梦幻步营下了定论，林跟DH12的组合非常致命，靠近PG的人觉得为什 麽卖教练不公开宣布林没有不如PB，”一个基本的绞肉机”，当他从胡子的一球在手的方 式中解放出来。(译：绞肉机那我真的不知道啥意思，是指PB可以比较黏还是啥，请推文 指正) In the end, it's on Lin to learn how to survive and thrive in a system built around two prominent figures who weren't Rockets when the Knicks let him go. 最终，还是要林学着怎麽如何生存茁壮，在这个围绕着胡子、DH的体系之中。 "I didn't sign with Houston expecting that we would have Dwight and James today," Lin said. "That was just something that happened. … In the beginning of last year, we saw some huge struggles with me and James. Not just me and James, but everybody just trying to mesh together. "This year, it's not like we don't have any of those issues. There still are chemistry problems. Not problems, but there are still things that we're still trying to get better at." “我和火箭签合约时并没有期望会有DH跟胡子做队友”林说，”那就这样发生了，去年刚 开始的时候，我们有很大的挣扎，不只是我跟胡子，每个人都尝试着融合”。”我们今年 还没完全解决那些问题，这里还是有化学效应的问题。不是问题，而是有些东西需要改进 。” If he'd stayed in New York, Lin would've had to navigate his way through a similar, if shorter, adjustment period with a healthy Carmelo Anthony. The Knicks should've bet their money on that partnership working out. 如果林待在纽约，林可能不用像在在火箭一样，能更快找到跟健康瓜瓜的相处之道。尼克 应该要把钱赌在他们的伙伴关系会成功。 The Best Of Linsanity 林来疯最好的部分。 If Lin was a magician under Mike D'Antoni, pulling magazine covers out of his hat, he was hardly a bust under D'Antoni's replacement. Lin was 6-1 with Woodson, scored 19, 18 and 18 points in consecutive games, and averaged 13.3 points and 5.4 assists in 28 minutes before his sore knee gave out. 如果林在冷笑话手中是个魔术师，从他的帽子中拉出杂志的封面。在冷笑话的补位教练指 导之下，林只是个半身雕像(译:指林只发挥一半)。在伍登的指导下取得6胜1败，得到 19、18、18在连续的三场比赛，在他膝盖受伤前场均28分钟内得到13.3分、5.4助攻。 In fact, Woodson promised that Lin would be his future starter and that the Knicks would "absolutely" match Houston's reported first offer of four years and $28.8 million. That pledge doomed the Lin-Knicks marriage. Houston upgraded its offer over three years and included a poison-pill wage of nearly $15 million in 2014-'15, when the Knicks' big-bucks commitments to Anthony, Amar'e Stoudemire, and Tyson Chandler would leave them locked in luxury-tax hell. 事实上，伍登保证林会是他未来的先发，而尼克一定会匹配火箭队的第一份4年28.8M的合 约。这个承诺造成林与尼克的"婚姻"破裂。火箭升级林的合约到三年，包括2014-15年的 15M薪资的毒药。尼克承诺给瓜瓜、阿骂、老钱大约让尼克掉入豪华税地狱。 Dolan threw another one of his tantrums over Lin's alleged disloyalty, and the owner who was supposed to give his fan base one advantage (and only one) -- his willingness to spend, spend, spend, even on the most suspect of players -- suddenly decided to close down the bank. 杜兰又发了一次脾气，说林不忠诚。而老板应该要给他球迷们一个优势(而且是唯一一个) —就是愿意去花钱、花钱、花钱，就算是花在最令人质疑的球员—突然的决定不花钱了。 Of course, if Dolan really wanted to keep Lin, he could've signed him for four years and $24 million at the start of free agency. He could've kept Lin and Felton. He could've paid the reasonable $5 million salaries in Years 1 and 2 of the Houston deal, and then traded one of his expiring contracts (even Lin's) to a team looking for a near-future salary dump. Or, in the unlikely case that Lin flopped, Dolan could've cut the point guard before Year 3 and used the stretch-provision clause in the labor agreement to spread the salary-cap hit over three seasons. 当然，如果杜兰想要林留下来，他可以在自由球员开始就签林4年24M，他可以同时留着 林跟肥顿。他应该要付火箭合约的前两年合理的5M的薪水，然後交易一个他的到期的合约 (就算是林的)，到一个队中寻找近未来的薪资空间。或是，在不太可能的情况下，林失败 了，杜兰可以第三年前释出PG，而且使用劳资协议中的stretch-provision条款来分散薪 资上限到三个球季。(译:最後一段是有关合约条款，就请人补充，我不知道XDD) "It never made sense what the Knicks did there," said an Eastern Conference executive who monitored the Lin transaction. "The league set up the restricted free-agent system to protect teams, and you never want to lose an asset for nothing when you have the right to match. "Lin's wasn't a $60 million contract; it was a reasonable number even with the poison pill. It just seemed that egos got in the way there." “尼克的做为令人费解”监视林交易的东区联盟执行说：连盟设立了限制的自由球员系统 来保护球队，而当你有全力去匹配时，你永远不会想白白失去资产。“林不是个60M的合 约，他是一个合理数字，就算是加上毒药。似乎这是自大在说话”。 The Knicks deny that, of course, and it doesn't really matter anymore. They turned their team over to Felton, four years older than Lin, and to Jason Kidd and Pablo Prigioni, a lot older than that. 尼克否认，当然，这已经不重要了。尼克队选择了肥顿—比林大四岁，跟更老的KIDD跟 Prigioni。 Glen Grunwald, the GM who executed this plan? He got fired by Dolan because his Ice Age roster crumbled down the stretch. Glen Grunwald，做出这个计画的GM被杜兰开除，因为做出烂决定造成运作困难。 Now the Knicks have only one young player of any promise, Iman Shumpert, who might be the next Knick on the next train out of town. Anyone really think Jeremy Lin, 25, couldn't help this team as a starter or reserve? 现在尼克只有一个年轻球员的任何承诺，香波，但是可能在未来会被交易，有任何人觉得 林25岁，没办法先发或替补来帮助尼克？ "I don't know if Lin will ever be a top-five point guard in the league," said the Eastern Conference executive, "but I could see him on the next level, from six to 10. And that's not a bad thing." “我不知道林会不会有一天成为联盟前5PG之一”联盟东区执行说到：”但我能够看到他 能在下一个层级，大概是6~10名，而那不是个坏事”。 Not even close. 差的远了。 "I think he's playing fantastic for us," McHale said. “我想他跟我们打得很好”麦教练说。 In his first full season as a starter, without the benefit of a training camp with Harden, Lin overcame his burdens in a new market by making all 82 starts and delivering a season that was virtually the statistical equal of Felton's. 在他的第一个完整先发球季，完全没有和哈登在训练营练习过。林克服了他在新市场的重 担，用全勤82场的数据，跟缴出跟肥顿一样的数据。 He's playing at a higher level now, averaging 18.1 points per game. His perimeter stroke is vastly improved, and so is his willingness to attack the basket without fear. 林达到更高的层级，场均18.1分，他的射程大大的提高，而他也愿意无惧地攻击篮框。 "It might sound crazy," Lin said, "but I still think it's early for me. I still think it's early in my development phase." “这听起来有点疯狂”林说，”这对我来说还太早，我还觉得这是我发展的早期阶段” Which is precisely why Jim Dolan's Knicks were damn fools to let him walk for nothing. 这也正是为什麽杜兰的尼克队是该死的笨蛋，就这样白白的让林离开。 ------------------------------------------- 翻译後话：有些扯到篮球合约太专业的我翻不来，还有些我没听过的片语或是俗话说 之类的，如果有翻错请指正。不确定的地方我也有留注释说我不确定。 没在校第二次稿了，有错字在跟我说吧。 --------------------------------------- 本文禁止转载至任何板面 -- ▲ _ / │ \ _ ▲ /◣ ∕ /▁▁▁▁│▁▁▁▁\ ﹨ ◢\ 放 了 那 个 女 孩 ╱ ◥◤ │ ◥◤ ╲ Let the girl go. / ◣ ▼ │ ▼ ◢ \ | ◣ ▇▆▆●●▆▆▇ ◢ | |◣ {▲ ∕ │ │ ﹨ ▲} ◢| ψjeans1020 --
