It was the return of Linsanity, all of the attendant pregame hype and palpable buzz in the air meeting up with a performance that delivered by the main attraction. 就像是熟悉的林來瘋回來了，所有賽前的公開活動和鋪天蓋地的宣傳， 搭配了比賽當天精彩的表現--也是本次活動最吸引人的地方。 From the moment he scored the Rockets’ first basket of the game on a 3-pointer from the top of the key to his exit midway through the fourth quarter of Houston ’s 107-98 win over the Pacers, Lin was the focus of virtually all attention and idolatry. 這場比賽，火箭以107:98取勝溜馬。從林投進火箭隊第一個三分球開始，直到第四節中段 完成任務下場休息，他幾乎囊括了全場的關注和崇拜。 When Lin left the game with 5:52 left to play with 17 points on 6-for-8 shooting, four assists, two rebounds and one monster block, teammate Francisco Garcia encouraged the throng to come to its feet and then he clamped Lin like a little brother in a headlock and patted his approval. 當林在第四節剩下5分52秒，帶著8投6中，17分、4助攻、2籃板以及一記驚天一鍋的好成績 退場時，他的隊友兼老大哥-賈西亞，請全場起立給他歡呼，然後把林像小老弟一樣摟著， 輕拍他，給他肯定。 Lin stood in a back hallway smiling and shaking his head at the experience. "It wasn’t like anything I’m normally accustomed to, going out there before the game for warmups and having everyone yelling,” he said. "Yeah, I was nervous. I haven’t felt that way before a game since probably the first time back to MSG last season." 在往休息室的路上，談到這場比賽的體驗，林微笑且晃著頭說 "這可不是我平常所習慣的樣子，從賽前熱身就開始不斷有球迷大聲吶喊" "這還真是令人緊張，自從去年第一次回到MSG作戰之後，我就沒有經歷過這種感覺了" "Really, it was everything I could have hoped for. (Asssistant coach) Chris Finch said, ‘It was like all your birthdays rolled into one. You got the 3s, the dunk, the block.’ I think he was right. I didn’t know how this was gonna go, but I definitely didn’t think it would go this good." "真的，這就是我希望看到的結果，助理教練芬奇對我說 [這就像是所有的生日願望都在今晚一次滿足了，三分球、灌籃、火鍋應有盡有]， 他說的沒錯，開賽前我也不知道比賽情況會是怎樣，但絕對沒想到竟然會如此精彩" Rockets coach Kevin McHale said Lin’s play was simply a continuation of the progress he’s made since the opening of training camp. “He played very well,” McHale said. “The last week to 10 days he’s been very, very good in our games and our practices. I think he’s really comfortable with who he is. He’s in a good state of mind … Jeremy’s in really a good place. This is the way he’s been playing in practice.” 火箭教頭麥克海爾表示，林延續了他從訓練營開始以來的好表現 "他打得很出色，過去的十天裡，他一直都在比賽和練習裡表現得非常好， 我想他已經很習慣自己的角色了，他有堅強的心理素質，他現在狀況絕佳， 而這就是他在練習中已經展現過的樣子" Nearly half the crowd wore some kind of NBA jersey or T-shirt and the lion’s share of those bore Lin’s name and number from various career incarnations. There were red Lin Rockets jerseys and white Lin Rockets jerseys. There were even a few with Lin’s name on the back of the throwback navy blue pajama-striped jerseys that Lin never wore. There were Lin jerseys from Harvard and his time with Golden State. And, of course, there were Lin’s jerseys from that magical five-week stretch of 2012 when Linsanity was born in York. 幾乎有一半的觀眾穿著NBA的球衣或T恤進場，大部分當然是林書豪的球衣， 而且來自於他籃球生涯的每個階段。 有火箭的主客場球衣，甚至還有林書豪從未穿過的復古款； 有他在哈佛時期的球衣(<-神衣快拜!!!)、勇士時期的球衣， 當然，還有在2012年嶄露頭角的神奇之旅，也是林來瘋的發源地-紐約尼克的球衣。 They screamed with delight when Lin came out of the tunnel and ran onto the court for pregame warmups nearly an hour before the opening tip and they roared in appreciation when he stepped into the spotlight and shined in front of an audience that included his parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and thousands of other Taiwanese who claim him as their own. 從林書豪出現在賽前一小時的熱身開始，觀眾就不斷用尖叫給予支持。 然後每一次當聚光燈射向他或他的家人及親朋好友，都會響起熱烈的歡呼聲。 數以千計的台灣球迷，都把林書豪當成自己人看待。 "I have been an NBA fan for about 10 years,” said Taiwan native Tony Kuo, 25, who studied business at Michigan State. “The truth is the Pistons were always my favorite back, back from the days of their (2004) championship. 一個就讀於密西根州立大學，25歲的台灣球迷TONY表示 "我已經看了大概十年的NBA了，事實上，從底特律活塞在2004年奪冠開始， 他們一直都是我很喜歡的球隊” "But when Jeremy first came into the league with the Warriors and then he went to New York and did what he did, well, now he is my favorite and the Rockets are my team. "但自從林書豪出現在NBA，從勇士到尼克，他完成了許多不可思議的表現。 現在，我是他的球迷，因為他，我也改為支持火箭” "I followed Jeremy when he was in Harvard and hoped that he would get a chance. But I wasn’t really sure if an Asian player could ever have the experience he did in New York.” "我從他在哈佛的時候就開始關注他了，也希望他能夠得到進入NBA的機會。 但一個亞洲球員能不能在NBA裡有好表現，其實當時我也沒有很確定” "When Yao Ming played, he was famous here. But nothing like Lin. There is no question that Jeremy Lin is the No. 1 sports celebrity in Taiwan today. I can't even think of anyone close enough to him to be No. 2.” "當姚明在聯盟奮鬥時，他也非常的有名，不過林不太一樣，現在，他無庸置疑的是台灣最 有名的運動員，我甚至想不到有誰可以排到第二” (=_= 這樣講有點誇張了….) Kuo’s girlfriend, Ashley Wu, 29, said she never really took to the NBA when she was at Michigan State. "I guess now I like the Rockets, but I went out and bought this Knicks shirt because the blue is a better color,” she said. “This is a really exciting and fun event and it’s fun to be here to support Lin and him,” she said, pointing at Kuo. 那位球迷的女友Ashley也說，讀書時期他其實根本沒有關注過NBA "但我想，我現在是火箭隊的球迷了，不過我還是買了尼克的T恤， 因為藍色還是比較好看(XDDDDD)，這是一場非常刺激且有趣的比賽， 能夠置身其中，支持林書豪還有這傢伙，真的很有趣" 指著她的男友說 For the most part, it was fast-paced and seemed to be more intensely played for a preseason game with plenty of banging and with regulars getting a lot of minutes. James Harden led the Rockets with 21 points. George had 19 to top the Pacers and George Hill had 17. 這場比賽比一般的熱身賽步調更快、更刺激，有很多的肢體碰撞， 而且先發球員大多時間都待在場上。鬍子得了火箭全隊最高的21分， 而波就舉的19分則是溜馬的得分王，George Hill拿下17分次之。 Nevertheless, according to how a script might have been written, Lin practically took the game into his hands in the first quarter and shaped it to fit the hype and his image. By the time the opening period was done, Lin had drilled a pair of 3-pointers, closed out a fast break with a crowd-pleasing dunk and then got a real rise from everyone when he chased down Indiana’s Danny Granger on a breakaway and used a sweeping swat of his arm to send the ball into the first row of seats. 不管劇本是怎麼寫的，這場比賽的確是看林一個人表演，他從第一節開始就掌控全局， 而且用表現回應了球迷對他的期待。第一節結束的時候，他已經投進了兩個三分球； 此外，比賽中還秀了一手快攻灌籃。然而，讓全場為之轟動的一球，則是他的奪命追魂鍋， 一掌把妙麗的快攻從行天宮巴到外太空。 "When I got that shot, just about all I could do was smile,” Lin said. “Not at him, but just the fact that it happened, because I’ve never done anything like that before in a real NBA game. Maybe in practice. So when I got that shot, I all could think was everything was going my way.” "當打完那個火鍋，我當下能做的只有忍不住的笑” 林說 "這可不是針對妙麗，而是那個PLAY我可從來沒有在NBA賽場上完成過， 或許練習的時候有過吧。所以當下我覺得，這場比賽已盡在我掌握之中” Half a world away from where it was born, Linsanity was back. And, fittingly, at home. 從他出生的地方，繞過半個地球，林來瘋回來了，或許更貼切的說法是，林來瘋回家了!!! 心得: 台灣球迷永遠都把他當自己人!!!!!!!! --
