來源網址：http://ppt.cc/aqKD 作者：Adam Wexler The Houston Rockets are set to play the New York Knicks tonight at Madison Square Garden. It may not be one the league's nicest buildings, but it is certainly one of it's most respected. 休士頓火箭隊今晚在麥迪遜廣場花園對上紐約尼克隊，那裡可能不是全聯盟 最好的建築物，但肯定是最受尊敬的建築物之一。 It's been the site for many great NBA moments, with the most recent one, of course, centered around red-hot Rockets guard Jeremy Lin, who returns tonight for the second time since his magical run with the Knicks during the 2011-12 season, that spawned an international phenomenon simply known as "Linsanity." 許多NBA的偉大時刻都在其中發生，當然，最近的一次圍繞著火箭隊火熱的後衛林書豪， 今晚是他自2011-12球季身為尼克球員時展現的國際性神奇表現後第二次回到這裡， 我們叫它「林來瘋」。 It all got started on a February night at the Garden in 2012. He came off the bench in the first quarter of a game against the then-New Jersey Nets. No one in the building that night could have predicted he would lead the Knicks to victory, but that's exactly what he did with 12 fourth quarter points. He also had a pair of assists as the Knicks turned a two-point deficit into a comfortable seven point win. 一切都從2012年二月的一個晚上開始。在對上之前的紐澤西籃網隊時， 他在第一節從板凳上場，那一晚，花園中沒人能預料到他能帶領尼克隊走向勝利， 不過他確實以第四節的12分做到了，他還添上了兩次助攻，讓尼克隊從兩分落後 逆轉到舒服的七分勝利。 Lin had 25 points and seven assists in the game and that earned him a start in their next game. He would start each of the next 24 games after that because the team and city had never seen anything like him before. He had been just a guy on an NBA team, busting his butt in practice, knowing that the odds were against him as he languished on the bench, just hoping to maintain his roster spot. 林書豪在該場比賽總共得到了25分以及7次助攻，這也讓他贏得了下一場比賽的先發機會。 之後他還先發了接下來的24場比賽，因為球隊以及整個城市都沒見過像他這樣的球員。 他在那之前只是個在NBA球隊、努力練習、知道機會不站在他那邊、並且只希望可以 保住正選位置的一個球員而已。 But from this point on, everything he did, everything the Knicks did, everything he was even remotely involved with, fueled Linsanity. His numbers were stellar, with a shade better than 18 points and nearly eight assists per game. He would hurt his knee before the season ended and was unavailable for the Knicks postseason. 但從那之後，他做的每件事、尼克隊做的每件事、甚至他遠遠相關的事情、 都刺激了林來瘋現象。他的數據亮眼，每場得分超過18分、助攻則接近八次。 他在季末之前弄傷了膝蓋，並且無法參與尼克隊的季後賽。 But Linsanity had been born and Lin was larger than life. 但是林來瘋已然誕生，而林書豪更形偉大。 That was then and this is now and Lin is in year two of his three-year free agent contract with the Rockets. He's also coming off the bench. Well, that was the plan, but with injuries to Pat Beverley (rib contusion) and James Harden (bruised foot), Lin has started more games than he hasn't. Both roles have suited him well thus far. 時間轉回現在，林書豪現在正在他與休士頓三年合約中的第二年，他從板凳出發， Well，那是原本的計劃，但隨著Pat Beverley和James Harden的受傷， 林書豪先發的場次比擔任替補要來的多，而兩種角色目前為止看來他都能勝任愉快。 He's even gone above and beyond some of the things that spawned Linsanity, like scoring 30 or more points in back-to-back games. In his 25 magical starts for the Knicks, he scored 30 or more points just once, his career high 38 points against Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers. 他甚至在某些部分上超越了林來瘋時期，像是在背靠背比賽中得到30分以上就是例證。 在他爲尼克隊先發的那25場神奇比賽中，他只有一次得分在30分以上， 也就是在對到Kobe Bryant以及湖人隊時創下的38分生涯記錄。 On Monday night off the bench, he scored 31 points against the Raptors, then Wednesday night against the Sixers, starting for Harden, he scored 34 points. Of course these performances have again teased those in New York about what could still be theirs. 週一晚上對暴龍隊，他從板凳上斬獲了31分，然後週三對到七六人， 他取代Harden擔任先發時得到了34分。當然，這再次嘲笑了那些紐約人， 因為這些表現原本可能依然是他們的。 He made 9-of-15 3-pointers and that tied the Rockets franchise record for most 3-pointers made in a game, set by Robert Horry on Feb. 22, 1996. During the "Linsanity" run, he never made more than three 3-pointers in a game. 他三分球投15中9，並且追平了火箭隊史上由Robert Horry在1996年二月二十二日 所保持單場最多三分的記錄。在「林來瘋」時期，他從未在單場比賽中投進超過 三個三分球過。 He also shot just 32 percent from the 3-point line in his final year in New York. This year through nine games, Lin is shooting 51.4 percent, having made 19-of-37 3-pointers already. That's good for 11th-best in the NBA and his adjusted field goal percentage (.641) is tied for fifth. He shares that spot with LeBron James. 他在紐約最後一年的三分球命中率只有32%，但在今年的前九場比賽當中， 他有51.4%的三分命中率，在37次的三分球投射中命中19球。這是全NBA 第11名的好成績，同時他調整過後的投籃命中率(.641)則與LeBron James並列第五。 Lin said he and the coaching staff talking about his role this season and how they wanted him to be aggressive in all areas, driving, distributing, and looking for his shot. 林書豪說他本季和執教人員討論過他的角色，他們希望林書豪展現全方位的積極， 上籃、分球、並且找尋投籃機會。 "Being able to attack and have that freedom to be able to be freelancing a little bit, I think that will be fun," Lin said. 林書豪說：「得到攻擊權並且有更加獨立的自由，我想這會很有趣。」 He was speaking about what his role would be off the bench. Turns out that's what his role is period. It was worked out well as he heads back to the place where his career took off. 他在談到從板凳出發時這麼說；在他回到職業生涯起飛之處，這似乎有了不錯的結果 。 --
