Jeremy Lin Will Win 6th Man of the Year Award Sooner Than You Think 林书豪将比想像中更快成为年度最佳第六人 来源：http://ppt.cc/rySP By John Wilmes ＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊ P.S. 这篇其实中文新闻有了，且是bleacher report的文 但明星周休赛中，加减看 ＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊ Linsanity is over. 林来疯已经结束了。 In its wake roams Houston Rockets point guard Jeremy Lin, the basketball player undoubtedly lesser than the hysteria that once surrounded him during one exciting winter jaunt with the New York Knicks. 而自这股旋风中抽离的火箭队控卫林书豪， 与那年冬天在纽约尼克，那曾围绕着他而疯狂的氛围相比， 他现在无疑受到较少的关注。 But make no mistake: Lin is still darn good. In fact, he may even be an award-winning baller—and sooner than you think. 但不要搞错了，林仍然要命的好。 事实上，他甚至可能成为获奖的球员， 而且是以比你预期更快。 Lin is in the mix for Sixth Man of the Year honors this season, as the Rockets have favored Patrick Beverley as their starting point guard for most of the year. But both guards are typically around to finish games, especially close ones, and the two essentially average the same minutes. Lin is clocking 30.9 per game, while Beverley is at 31.8. The Rockets' best lineup is with Lin, Beverley, Terrence Jones, Dwight Howard and Chandler Parsons, holding a .875 winning percentage, good for ninth in the league. 因火箭今年多数的比赛，都倾向让小贝先发， 林本季有可能获得年度最佳第六人， 不过两个人大多时间都会一起在场上完成比赛， 尤其是比赛终结比赛的时候， 两人的平均上场时间也很接近。 林是30.9分钟，而小贝则是31.8分钟。 火箭场上最佳组合是林，小贝，TJ，魔兽以及CP。 胜率可以到达0.875，在联盟排名第九。 More importantly, the Rockets have come to rely quite heavily on Lin. The team has been smart enough to identify what seems to be his lasting role in the NBA. He’s a microwave man, providing the necessary extra firepower just when the opposition think they’ve got a handle on Houston’s full-court attack. 更重要的是，火箭越来越依赖林。 他们够聪明，知道该把林放在怎样的定位。 他是随插即用型的球员， 当对手封阻了火箭队的进攻时， 他可以适时提供所需的火力。 （林不是一向是慢热吗 ??） With Lin, the Rockets transcend mere potency. They become relentless. While less powerful than superstar teammate James Harden, Lin’s slashing is similar enough to Harden’s to consistently give defenses fits. He’s often the straw that breaks the enemy's back. 有林在场，火箭进攻更具威胁性，趋近於杀手级。 即使林在场的威力，小於队友超级球星哈登， 但哈登在防守上的缺失，常常让火箭无法反击敌手。 而这两相均衡之下，其实差异不大。 But this is not the sole line of reasoning for why Lin will almost inevitably receive the award. Plenty of NBA reserve guards supply the same spark in similar quantity—J.R. Smith, Jarrett Jack, Mo Williams, Reggie Jackson, Marco Belinelli and even the resurgent D.J. Augustin are just some of the current equivalents to what Lin offers. 但这并不是林很有机会拿到第六人的原因。 联盟当中有许多球员也可以在场上有如此亮眼的表现， 像是JR, ack, Mo Williams, Reggie Jackson, Marco Belinelli 甚至是D.J. Augustin 都可以在场上和林一样的表现。 Rather, Lin’s narrative is one that’s all too compelling. 而是，林的故事实在是太吸引人了。 And like all awards, Sixth Man honors are highly driven by their stories. They’re selected by journalists who weave a sort of sociological afghan for a profession, not by stats-crashers and talent appraisers who scrutinize a player's every move. 第六人的奖项和其他奖项相同，球员的故事占了能否得奖的极大因素。 这些奖项是由来自不同领域的记者所选出， 并非是研究球员每个动作的数据派，或是能力分析派。 Lin, in this light, is a prime candidate. 林身在聚光灯下，当然是有力的候选人之一。 Whether it’s this year, next or in a later season, the media will not be able to resist the redemption tale implicit in giving him this trophy. There’s a ready made barrage of nostalgic treatises for when Lin is dubbed the very best reserve in basketball. 不论是本季，下季或是再下季， 媒体们很难不因他的故事，而给予他这个奖项， 当林在联盟展露头角之时，他的故事早已为他打下了获奖基础。 In other words: Linsanity may be over, but we haven't forgotten what it did to our hearts. Lin is unlikely to ever capture our attention the way he did in 2012, but his sudden Big Apple blaze was a system shock to the image of the league. It’s a coming-of-age piece unlike any we’ve seen in years—one fit for a retrospective. 换句话说，林来疯也许已经结束， 但我们无法将它从内心抹去。 林永远无法再以2012年的那种方式，吸引大家的注意力， 但他突然在纽约所燃起的熊熊烈焰，燃烧了整个联盟。 林来疯是大家前所未见，回想起来总是别有一番滋味在心头。 Which is not to say that Lin’s singular circumstances (which really means his race, if we’re to look down the eyes of the elephant in the room) give him an unfair edge over the competition. 这不是说林的特殊背景，而让他拥有较多的优势。 （我指的是他的肤色，如果我们想要避谈这个敏感议题的话） One day, there had never been an Asian-American in the NBA. The next, Lin was the king of the highlight reel. This twist carries weight, of course. 曾经，NBA联盟将没有任何亚裔的球员。 而林的出现接着，所有目光都投射在他身上。 这样的转折理所当然带来了关注。 But Lin’s story is about more than that—I personally will never forget the image of him sleeping on a teammate’s couch mere hours after lighting Manhattan on fire, a rare rags-to-riches wrinkle that has nothing to do with ethnicity. 但林的故事并不仅仅於此。 对我个人来说，我永远不会忘记， 即使他让整个曼哈顿为他疯狂，他还是睡在队友的沙发上 从无民小卒到一夜成名，并非是因为他的肤色而已。 And he’s deserving of the award, anyway. If he’s already in the conversation for it, his glitzy biography is sure to help him receive it in time. Among the slew of worthy recipients, Lin is arguably the best right now, and he could very well remain so for seasons to come—provided he remains a reserve and not a starter. 无论如何，他值得这个奖项。 如果他已经在候选名单内，他传奇的故事对获奖加分不少， 在获奖的人选之内，目前将林评为最佳人选，无疑是具有争议性的。 但他如果能继续以後补而非先发上场比赛， 本季接下来的表现一定十分优异。 （但我私心还是希望林先发，并且可以控球组织。） It’s only a matter of when the lore of the league decides that Lin should be given another moment. 而现在只关乎联盟的智慧，让林能有再一次发光的时刻。 --
