Jeremy Lin exerts his will: Rockets coach Kevin McHale forced to treat guard like a star http://tinyurl.com/k293x99 林書豪盡其所能展現身手, 耀眼的表現迫使冰箱得用像對待球星的方式善待這名控衛 It all starts with Jeremy Lin pushing the pace, driving the lane, moving the ball. The Houston Rockets' biggest win of the season will be fueled by its most doubted player. 一切的一切都源自於林書豪, 他催動火箭全隊的節奏, 他切入禁區撕裂對方防守, 他 的組織能力讓火箭的球流暢運轉~ 本季火箭最讚的一場勝利(vs馬刺)其能量皆來自於 隊上最有爭議的球員 -- 林書豪 He won't get much of the credit of course. That largely goes to box score stuffer James Harden, rebound machine Dwight Howard and even budding male model (and 40-percent 3-pointer shooter) Chandler Parsons. But make no mistake, Lin sets the Rockets course with a brilliant first quarter, propelling Houston to a 40-25 lead and that eventual statement-making 111-98 Christmas night victory in San Antonio. 當然他並未獲得足夠的信任, 這部分主要是因為數據魔人-鬍子, 籃板魔人-DH, 以及 有著40%三分命中率的帥氣魔人-Chandler Parsons. 但上一場對馬刺時, 林書豪在第 一節極其準確的鋪排出火箭流暢的攻勢, 在這節就將火箭推升到了40比25的大幅領先 , 使得火箭最終能以111-98擊敗強敵馬刺 This is what the Rockets look like with a real starting point guard. They're fast, explosive and precise. 這就是火箭夢寐以求的擁有一個真正先發控衛的樣子, 疾如風, 攻擊如火, 且精準無比 Lin finishes the quarter with four points, four assists and one highlight block. He gets everyone involved, sets Terrence Jones up for an easy dunk with a no-look bounce pass, feeds Howard for another uncontested slam. The Spurs will be running uphill the rest of the game. 這一節林書豪拿下4分, 傳出4次助攻, 並且有一個吸睛的釘板封蓋! 在他的組織下每個 人都被妥善的融入攻勢中, 一個no look pass讓T.J.輕易的灌籃, 餵給D.H.另一個空檔 灌籃, 此後, 馬刺就只能在山下苦苦追趕前方的火箭 It all happens with Lin playing nine minutes and 19 seconds in the first quarter — starter's minutes. This is what happens when Lin is treated with the same respect as Mike Conley, the point guard of the Grizzlies, the Rockets' Thursday night comeback victim. This is what happens when Lin is trusted as much as a Kemba Walker, the Bobcats' hardly superstar point. 這些全都發生在第一節林書豪在場上的9分19秒內, 這也就是所謂的先發控衛該享有的時 間, 而今天對戰灰熊, 林書豪也獲得這樣的尊重 Rockets coach Kevin McHale has little choice but to play Lin more at the moment. With Patrick Beverley out for more than a month with a broken hand, McHale's essentially forced to do what he should have been doing from the season's opening tip: Play Jeremy Lin like a true starting point guard. 這都是因為PB受傷得休息至少一個月, 導致冰箱必須得像開季時專家們提過的那樣: 把 林書豪當成真正的先發控衛一樣的好好對待 The result in the Christmas national TV showcase is compelling. Lin finishes with 13 points on only 10 shots, eight assists and two blocks in 34 minutes of action. His plus-minus is at team-high +24 for the game. This one game after he scores 20 points on only 10 shots in his return from a back injury. 這樣之下結果就如大家這兩天所見: 昨天聖誕節林書豪在34分鐘內僅僅10投就拿下13 分, 傳出8次助攻以及2次封蓋.正負值還是全隊最高的+24! 前一場則是傷後復出的首 戰, 他也是僅僅10次出手, 卻取得了20分! And the night after Christmas? Lin scores 18 points on 13 shots, with 14 of those points coming in the fourth quarter as the Rockets roar back for a 100-92 win. 那..聖誕節對馬刺之後呢? 今天林書豪13次出手拿下18分, 但其中的14分是在關鍵末節 拿下的, 這大大的幫助了火箭今天的逆轉勝! Few players in the NBA have been more efficient than Jeremy Lin this season. 全聯盟本季只有相當少的球員能展現出比林書豪更出色的效率 If he was starting all season like he should have been, Lin easily would be averaging around 17 points and six assists right now. More importantly, the Rockets would be higher than fifth in the Western Conference standings. 若林書豪整季都能好好獲得先發控衛的尊重的話, 他可以很輕易的達到場均17分6助攻 這水準, 更重要的是, 火箭在西區的排名絕對不僅只於目前的第五名 Jeremy Lin's Time Over the next several weeks with Beverley out, Lin will make his case, prove he should be starting. McHale can only play Aaron Brooks so many minutes before the veteran's flaws become magnified. 接下來的幾周PB還是因傷缺賽, 林書豪將獲得得以證明足任先發控衛的機會 Still it's a little hard to imagine McHale making the permanent switch to Jeremy Lin once Patrick Beverley is back. It's one of the curious things about a Rockets season that has been both promise packed and perplexing. 但現在仍然很難去猜測PB回來後冰箱會不會繼續讓林書豪像現在一樣的先發, 這真的 是火箭本季七不思議最令人匪夷所思的部分 Lin's level of play has been consistent. His role and minutes are not. 林書豪的好表現很穩定, 但他在隊上的角色與上場時間則相左 It doesn't seem to matter if Lin answers McHale's direct defensive challenge and shuts down Spurs All-Star point guard Tony Parker on Christmas night (a season-low six points, 3-for-11 shooting) like Beverley could not in the teams' earlier Alamo City meeting (when Parker went off for 27 points on 13 for 27 shooting). 至於冰箱對林書豪防守功力的質疑.....arno....來看看本季兩次對戰馬刺的狀況吧 上一次林打先發控衛(PB缺陣): Tony Parker僅11投3中, 只能得到本季最低的6分 上上場PB打先發控衛(林缺陣): Tony Parker 27次出手13中 很清楚了吧? Or if he helps harass Conley — the Grizzlies' head — into a 4 for 14 shooting night while logging 37 crucial minutes. 還有今天林書豪緊纏著灰熊的Conley, 讓這位灰熊攻勢火車頭在37分鐘內僅僅14中4 Lin's still the one who still must prove his worth night after night after night. He's still the one who is sure to have his defense dissected while Beverley is unquestionably lauded as a "stopper." 天不假運, 惜哉書豪, 仍得日復一日的努力證明給瞎眼人看自己的價值 天不假運, 苦哉書豪, 已經展現出好防守後, 冰箱卻仍說PB防守功力較強 It's a dangerous way to treat a 25-year-old with star potential. Good players have been crippled with far less yo-yoing than Jeremy Lin's received in his time in Houston. McHale's coaching is the NBA equivalent of Gary Kubiak yanking Case Keenum in and out of games. 這樣對待一位25歲且有著球星潛力的球員是件危險的事, 許多受到像火箭對待林書豪這 樣搖擺不定態度的好球員, 還沒承受到跟林書豪相同的程度就殞落了. 冰箱的執教方式 跟Gary Kubiak(美式足球)在比賽中把Case Keenum吼進吼出差不多 Bob McNair and Rick Smith stepped in for Keenum with the Texans. Will Daryl Morey step in with McHale for Lin? 德州人(美式足球)的老闆為了Keenum介入教練的執教方式, 那Daryl Morey也會為了林 書豪而介入冰箱的執教方式嗎? With Dwight Howard playing with more force than he has in years, it's the perfect time for the Rockets to have a real point guard in the starting lineup. Lin will get Howard some easy baskets and keep the ball moving. The weeks to come should bring plenty more highlights and wins. DH近年來在場上的表現受到越來越多的阻力, 現在真的是火箭在陣容上安排一位真正 的控球後衛的最好時機. 林書豪能替DH創造更多的easy play,也能讓球的流轉更加順 暢, 接下來(PB缺陣 & 林書豪打先發PG)我們會看到更多的highlight跟更多的勝利! And if McHale doesn't realize it, some other team in the NBA will: The Houston Rockets are sitting on a very underappreciated asset. Every full-court push, every fearless foray to the rim, every easy set up, every quarter like that opening stanza in San Antonio drive home the real point. 但如果冰箱仍舊張不開眼看不清事實, 別擔心, 聯盟有其他識貨的球隊會接手這樣做 的: 因為林書豪是仍會持續增值的好資產! 當你看到, 林書豪每一次的全場推進 ....每一次大無畏的切入籃下....每一次助攻出來的好機會....每一次打出上一場對 戰馬刺的第一節..... 你能不心動嗎? -- 清晨霧一般的思念, 清新 double, 美麗 double, 捉摸不定 double... --
