: 这篇用另外的角度去观察林书豪坎坷的际遇对他篮球技巧的影响,里面也说明当初
: 史丹佛大学不选他的原因,蛮值得一看的,不过我英文太烂就不要在这翻译献丑了
: 全文如下:
: Eight games and two weeks into worldwide Linsanity, all everyone wants to
: talk about is how New York Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin could have been
: overlooked by so many people who make their living evaluating talent.
全世界在这两个礼拜里的陷入所谓的 "林来疯", 所有人都想知道这位Knicks
的控卫林书豪 为什麽被现场的评估人员给忽略
: From coaches at about 340 NCAA Division I schools to a couple of NBA general
: managers who released him, to even his current employer, which had played him
: all of 55 minutes in his first 23 games before injuries forced his insertion
: into the starting lineup, it seems no one understood the power of Lin --
: until he was given the big stage on which to perform.
从340所NCAA Division I的学校到NBA的释出他的GM, 甚至现在的球队在他前
23场比赛也只让他打了55分钟直到有人受伤才被迫放他进球员名单。
看起来没有人知道林书豪的厉害,直到他终於有了表现的舞台。
: But here's the real story: When all those D-I teams -- even Stanford, located
: across the street from where Lin played high school basketball -- took a pass
: on him in 2006, Lin caught the break of his life. Because the one school that
: believed his intangible strengths would one day trump his more obvious
: physical limitations was Harvard, which would eventually be coached by a
: former point guard.
: Make that a great former point guard who saw in Lin the same potential to be
: special.
这是个真实的故事:包含在他高中对面的Stanford在内,当所有D-I的球队都忽略他
的时候,但是林书豪很幸运的获得哈佛的肯定。哈佛的教练也是名控卫,他发现林有
成为伟大控卫的特质
: Lin played just one year for the coach who recruited him, Frank Sullivan, who
: was fired in 2007. His replacement was Tommy Amaker, who as a player at Duke
: became an All-American and helped coach Mike Krzyzewski start a dynasty.
: Even former Stanford coach Trent Johnson, who in the last two weeks has
: patiently answered question after question from the media about why he didn't
: sign Lin, says Harvard was the best possible place for him.
但是这名教练在林进去的一年後被开除了,新教练是Tommy Amaker,Tommy在Duke打过球
并且帮当时的教练Mike Krzyzewski开启了Duke王朝。两周前当媒体问前Standford的
教练Trent Johnson为什麽不签林,Trent还是认为哈佛才是林可以发挥得最好地方,
: In fairness to Johnson, now the head coach at LSU, it has to be pointed out
: that the five-man recruiting class he signed during Lin's senior season in
: high school included three players -- Brook and Robin Lopez and Landry Fields
: -- now playing in the NBA, and another point guard, Da'Veed Dildy. And it
: wasn't as though Johnson didn't see some sort of potential in Lin. Without
: another scholarship available, Johnson offered Lin, who at the time had the
: physical dimensions of a No. 2 pencil, a chance to walk on, build up his body
: and eventually earn a scholarship.
为了替Johnson表示一点公平,必须说当年藉由five-man recruiting class招募的球员
其中有三名进了NBA,他们是 Brook,Robin Lopez以及Landry Fields。还有一名不如预
期的控卫,Johnson那时给了林另一个机会"walk on",只要他进来球队表现良好一样
可以获得奖学金。
: Cal and UCLA also asked Lin to walk on. But Lin and has family wanted a
: scholarship. When an offer never came, he wound up at Harvard, which plays in
: a conference, the Ivy League, that doesn't offer athletic scholarships.
Cal 以及 UCLA 也同样给了林 walk on的机会。但是林跟他们家人想要正式的奖学金。
在一个offer也没拿到的情况下,林选择了Ivy League的哈佛,哈佛并不提供运动奖学
金。
: "He could have come to Stanford -- and we did have a history of taking
: walk-ons and let them earn scholarships," Johnson said. "But if he'd have
: stayed at our place, I don't know if he'd have developed his game. I was
: throwing that thing inside at the time because of the size we had. So Jeremy
: ends up at Harvard, but he didn't knock the world out his freshman and
: sophomore seasons.
: "The story should be how, after his sophomore year, Jeremy started to develop
: under Tommy Amaker's tuteledge."
Johnson说:「他可以来Stanford的,我们过去也有球员藉由Walk-ons的机会获得奖学
金,但是在我们这我不知道他是不是可以有所发挥,因为人员的数量,我把事情搁下了
,林也选择了哈佛,而他在大学第一年以及第二年也没有甚麽发挥。这故事应该是在
林二年级的时候Tommy怎麽指导他的才对。」
: Amaker would have never gotten the chance to work with Lin had it not been
: for a chance sighting by former Harvard assistant Bill Holden. In the summer
: of 2006, Holden was approached by Lin's coach at Palo Alto High School, Peter
: Diepenbrock, at an AAU tournament in Las Vegas and asked to give an honest
: evaluation.
Tommy并没有跟前Harvard助理教练Bill Holden共事。Holden在2006年的时候曾经被要求
去看林的中学篮球比赛比赛。并且被要求诚实地说出对林的评价。
: "It was a very noncompetitive game I was seeing him in," Holden told radio
: station SN 590 The Fan in Toronto. "It wasn't a good evaluation game,
: unfortunately. Six years ago, Jeremy Lin was an inch and a half shorter and
: about 50, 60 pounds lighter. He didn't really pass the eye test back then."
: Thus, Holden's snap judgment on Lin's potential wasn't what Diepenbrock
: wanted to hear. "I told him Jeremy should go play for a Division III school,"
: Holden said.
Holden说:「那是一场压倒性的比赛,不是一场可以用来评价球员的比赛,六年前,
林的身高不够高,体重也不够重,他并没有认真地去评价,然後建议林去打D-III的比
赛。」
: A day later, Holden changed his mind when he saw Lin play again.
: "For whatever reason -- the environment, the competition -- he was able to
: show his skill set, his ability to get to the rim, his ability to get into
: the lane and make some shots, and the ability to play some defense, which I
: didn't see him do the day before," Holden said. "Physically, you could tell
: he wasn't done growing. He hadn't hit his maturation peak yet.
但是一天後,当Holden又看到他的比赛的时候,Holden改变了他的心意。
Holden说:「不管是甚麽理由,林展现了他的技巧,他有办法切入,还是做一些跳投
,而且他也可以防守。事实上,你可以说他还在成长中,他还没到他的巅峰。」
: "He still had a long way to go. He had shown some quickness, but physically,
: that was about it. But his basketball knowledge and instincts for the game is
: what drew me to him, and hopefully, the other things would kick in."
: Consider Holden's second evaluation ground zero for Linsanity, for even
: though Lin led Palo Alto to the California Division II state championship
: over a nationally ranked Mater Dei team that had seven players 6-7 or taller,
: no mid-major schools offered him a scholarship.
「林还有很长的路要走,他有展现了一些速度,但是大概就只有这样。但是他对球场上
的掌握以及本能让我眼睛一亮,我只希望他在其他方面可以赶快成长。」
考虑到Holden的第二次评估报告,即使林带领了Palo Alto打败了加州D-II州冠军队,
那个州冠军队伍有七个6尺七寸以上的球员,没有任何学校要给他奖学金。
: "That, to me, is the amazing thing," Johnson said. "Where was everybody else?
: When I was the coach at Nevada, I'd have jumped all over him, because in
: terms of his build, he reminded me of Todd Okeson, the point guard we had at
: Nevada who helped us get to the Sweet 16 in 2004. The question I had with
: Todd [who weighed 165 pounds] was, physically, could he hold up? That's the
: one thing you can't predict when you're talking about a kid who's that
: skinny."
Johnson(Standford前教练)说:「对我来说这真太神奇了,没有人要他吗!?当我在
Nevada当教练的时候,我会不故一切想要林,因为它让我联想到了Todd Oksen,Todd
帮助我们在2004年得到了16连胜。但我对Todd还有太轻的问题,他挺得住吗?这是你无
法预测的,尤其他看起来有些瘦」
: "I had the same question about Jeremy, but we still wanted him to walk on at
: Stanford, maybe develop his body. Go back and look at all the guys who walked
: on for me and played. There was a history there. I liked his skill level and
: the fact that his teams won."
「我对林有相同的疑问,但是还是希望他可以来利用Walk-on的机会。他可以看看过去
在我底下里用Walk-on的球员,我喜欢的他的实力还有他们球队赢球的事实。」
: Stanford, or any other Division I school that offers scholarships, wasn't
: meant to be for Lin. But Harvard, a school that has produced twice as many
: U.S. presidents (eight) as NBA players (four), turned out to be the best
: place he could have gone. That became obvious when, after Lin's freshman
: season, Sullivan was fired after failing to lead the Crimson to a league
: title in 16 years.
林似乎命中注定无法去Stanford或是其他提供Scholarships的学校。但是这所产出
八位总统四位NBA球员的哈佛变成林的最佳选择。在第一年教练被Fire掉,因为16年来
他无法带领球队获得长春藤联盟冠军。
: The next phase of Linsanity began when Amaker took over the program.
: Unlike Johnson, Amaker, who's trying to lead Harvard-21-3 and 7-1 in the Ivy
: League-to a conference championship and the program's first NCAA Tournament
: appearance since 1946, isn't answering questions from the media about Lin.
: But Will Wade, a VCU assistant who worked for Amaker during Lin's sophomore
: and junior seasons, shares Trent Johnson's belief that his former boss helped
: make Lin what he is today.
林来疯的下一章在Amaker接管哈佛球队的时候开始。不像之前教练,Amaker带领哈佛
获得长春藤联盟冠军,并且让球队在自从1946年後首度进入NCAA的锦标赛,但这没有
回答媒体的问题。在林的前两年当任助理教练的Bill Wade分享他前老板是如何帮助
林,造就了今天的林。
: "Jeremy was a very, very driven kid," Wade said. "A kid who had a lot of
: layers to him. But what really spurred his growth was that coach Amaker took
: a vested interest in his development. Coach Amaker saw things in Jeremy that
: he probably didn't see in himself."
Wade说「林非常的认真,他有很多的障碍,但是Amaker投入了很多促成他的成长,
Amaker发现林自己没发现的东西。」
: In Lin, Amaker found a willing pupil who wanted to get better.
: "He was a tremendous worker," Wade said. "He was always wanting to learn,
: always asking questions. Sometimes, he would get frustrated with himself
: because he wasn't progressing at the rate he wanted to progress. For him, it
: was great having coach Amaker mentor him and guide him."
Amaker发现林是个意志力强然後力求上进的人。
Wade说 「林是个努力认真的球员,他不断去学,问问题,有时候他会受到挫折,因为
他没有如自己预期的进步,对於林来说有Amaker指导他真是太好了。」
: Lin averaged 4.8 points and 1.8 assists in 18.1 minutes a game as a freshman.
: In his first season playing for Amaker, he played 31.3 minutes a game and
: averaged 12.6 points and 3.6 assists. Lin's glaring weakness was 3-point
: shooting (28.1 and 27.9 percent his first two seasons), but at Amaker's
: behest, Lin turned himself into a threat from behind the arc.
大学第一年林的平均得分是4.8分,1.8次助攻,18.1的上场时间。在Amaker底下的
第一个球季是平均12.6分,3.6次助攻。林的弱点是三分球(前两个球季的命中率是
28.1%以及27.9%),但是在Amaker的指导下,他开始变成敌人真正的威胁。
: "He wasn't a great shooter," Wade said. "He was pretty good in the mid range,
: but he didn't have range to 3. People would back off and play him as a
: driver, so he'd force shots and not get as many clean looks. Jeremy worked
: hard on expanding his range. That made his pull-up jumper almost deadly, and
: when he was able to be a consistent threat from 3, it opened up the whole
: floor for him.
Wade说 「他不是个好射手,他在中距离表现很好,但在三分球就不是了,很多人会退
後防止他切入,所他被迫在外围出手。林开始练习加大攻击范围,他的急停跳投是致命
的,当他有能力开始投三分球,他将有办法进行任何攻击。」
: "That's why, in Jeremy's junior year, it was his team. Coach Amaker basically
: gave him the keys to the bus and said, 'Let's go.' "
「这是为什麽球队在三年级的时候变成林的球队,Amaker基本上就是把主导权给了林」
: With Lin taking charge, Harvard went from 8-22 in Amaker's first season to
: 14-14 his second. Lin averaged 17.7 points, 4.2 assists and 2.4 steals, but
: more importantly, he shot 40 percent from 3. Lin's numbers were down slightly
: the next year, because Harvard had better players, and he didn't have to do
: quite so much. But the Crimson finished 21-7 and advanced to the College
: Basketball Invitational.
哈佛球队在林的带领下从前一季的8胜22败变成14胜14败。林平均得分17.7,4.2次助攻
,2.4次抄截。最重要的是林有40%的得分来自於三分球。隔年林的数据下降了,因为
哈佛来了不错的球员,他不需要自己去做那麽多事。那年哈佛以21胜7败结束球季,
并且参加全国大学篮球赛。
: It wouldn't be long before the Legend of Lin became a worldwide phenomenon.
: But Lin had no idea what was ahead.
: His ambition was to become a youth minister.
: "That's what he told me the last year I was at Harvard," Wade said. "You have
: no idea how good of a person he is. Just a great, great person. A quiet
: leader that people are naturally drawn to. I'm sure he would have been a
: great youth minister."
并没有花林太多时间,他的传奇变成全世界注目的焦点。
但是林以前不知道会这样,他以前就是想要成为一个牧师。
Wade说「这是林去年在哈佛跟我说的,你不知道他是多棒的人,就是超棒。一个天生
的领袖,他们自然而然会去注意他,我很确定他一定会成为一个好的牧师。」
: And that's what Lin might have become, if not for Amaker's belief that Lin
: had next-level talent. That was confirmed when Lin was a junior and he scored
: 25 points in a win over a Boston College team that included future NBA player
: Reggie Jackson and was coming off an upset of North Carolina.
: After that season, during which Lin became the only player in the country to
: be ranked among the top 10 in every major statistical category in his
: conference, he still wasn't sure he could play basketball beyond college, let
: alone in the NBA. Amaker thought Lin was capable, but knew he had to get even
: better.
林将来可能真的会变牧师,如果Amaker没有去发掘的林的潜力。还有一次确认林实力的
是在林大三的时候打败Boston 学院并且获得了25分,那时Boston有一个未来的NBA球员
Reggie Jackson,并且暴冷门打败北卡。
: "The thing Jeremy knows, and we have talked about this since the end of last
: season, is that he needs to make others better," Amaker told Blue Ribbon
: College Basketball Yearbook in 2009. "Can he become a better leader? You look
: at his numbers; it's tough to say he needs to improve here or there. He's a
: throwback, a complete player with a great deal of energy and competitiveness.
: "[But] it's no longer good enough to drive himself. Now, it's time to bring
: others along with him. Can he be a special player who makes an impact on
: others?"
: Eight games and two weeks into Linsanity, that question has been answered --
: and then some.
Amaker跟Blue Ribbon College Basketball Yearbook 说「球季结束後,林知道而我
们也在谈论的是如何让队友变得更好。他可以变成更好的领袖吗?你看看他的数据,
很难去说他需要去改进甚麽,他是守本分并且有大量能量以及竞争力的球员。
但是对他来说永远都不够好,现在是时候拉者别人跟他一起变好,不知道他是不是一
个如此特殊并且可以给其他人带来影响的球员。」
两个礼拜以及八场的比赛带来的"林来疯" 已经回答了这个问题。也回答了其他人不同
的疑问。
