自己以前是打球隊的 也看NBA很久了
說實話 不管是Kobe或老普我都不討厭
相反地 在球場上 對於這種展現出求勝心跟拼勁的球員
我想沒有人會不喜歡 因為那是一種很有感染力的特質
這篇文章有提到Kobe跟老普一些不好的地方
我盡量就原文忠實呈現 不帶任何個人批評 希望有心人士不要引戰
明天沒有比賽 這篇Greg的新文章 大家就看看吧...
Los Angeles Lakers – Jeremy Lin Can Benefit From Kobe Bryant Shutting Down
洛杉磯湖人隊 ─ Kobe關機　林能獲益
This season has been a disappointment so far for Jeremy Lin. Not just his
fluctuating ability, which is partially his fault as well, but once again
falling into a situation with a coach that doesn’t believe in him and
playing next to a shooting guard that isn’t as good as he thinks he is.
這個賽季到目前為止對林來說是令人失望的。不只是他起伏不定的能力，這有一部份也是
他的缺點，而是再一次地掉入一個「教練不信任他以及在一個並不如他自己所想像得好的
得分後衛身邊打球」的局面。
Lin and Bryant don’t co-exist. Bryant wants the ball in his hand, and Lin
needs it there too. This is the Los Angeles Lakers organization we’re
talking about, so it’s not surprising to see the one getting the more
touches and more credit. Byron Scott at some point decided on benching Jeremy
Lin, and has no plan of promoting him unless Bryant is shut down or resting.
The start against the Utah Jazz showed Lin isn’t exactly benefiting from
being ignored by the coach.
林跟Bryant不能共存。Bryant需要一球在手，林也是。這就是我們所熟知的洛杉磯湖人隊
，所以看見其中一人得到較多的球權與較多的讚揚並不令人驚訝。基於某種原因Scott決
定讓林坐板凳，並且沒有計畫去促進林進步除非Bryant完全不打或休息。對戰猶他爵士先
發顯示由於被教練忽視林並沒有從中真正受益。
How is he ignored? Because Lin is the only one losing minutes if he doesn’t
play well in his backcourt. Ronnie Price gets minutes although he’s overall
an awful player – or at least not on the NBA starting and significant backup
caliber. Kobe Bryant? Untouchable. Lin? He can have good, excellent games in
which he’s the main factor in a victory followed by getting only 16 minutes
off the bench despite once again being the best player in those minutes.
他是如何被忽視？因為林是後場唯一一個打不好就失去上場時間的人。老普得到他的上場
時間，雖然他整體來說是個糟糕的球員 ─ 或至少不是NBA先發與重要替補的水準。
Bryant呢？動他不得。林呢？他可以在幾場好的、傑出的、擔任主要因子的比賽贏下勝利
之後，得到只有從板凳出發的16分鐘，儘管再一次地，他在這些時間裡仍然是最好的球員
。
So is it surprising to see him lacking confidence and looking confused with
what his role is even when he does get the start? I’m not sure Scott knows
what he wants to do, let alone actually what to do, with this team. Are the
Lakers tanking? Are they trying to get better? Are they looking for a trade
to improve their cap situation even more heading into next season? Nothing is
clear. There is just one constant: Kobe Bryant is here for one more season in
which he’ll remain the highest paid player in the NBA.
所以看見他缺乏自信、甚至得到先發機會卻看起來對於自己的角色感到迷惑還令人意外嗎
？我不確定Scott對於這支球隊到底知不知道他想做什麼，更不用說到底要做什麼。湖人
隊在坦嗎？他們有嘗試著變好嗎？他們有尋求交易以改進他們的薪資空間而不只是前進下
個賽季嗎？沒有事情是明朗的。只有一件事情始終不變：Bryant在這裡還會待上一個賽季
，而且仍然是NBA裡薪水最高的球員。
I despise tanking, and I hate the idea of a player fans pay tickets to see,
regardless of how actually good he is, and that the franchise is paying $24
million a season for his services, gets shut down. It’ll be the second
consecutive season it happens. Why not do it now if the Lakers are so worried
about his health? They’re not going to make the playoffs, and Bryant’s
basketball on most nights isn’t actually helping his team win games.
我鄙視坦這件事情，而且我討厭「一個球員的球迷們買票進場看球，不管他究竟好或不好
，同時這支球隊一季要花上2400萬請他打球，而他卻不打了」這個主意。這將會是連續兩
個賽季發生這件事情。如果湖人隊真的這麼擔心他的健康為什麼現在不這麼做？他們打不
進季後賽的，而且Bryant的籃球在多數夜晚並沒有真正地幫助他的球隊贏球。
Is it bad or good that Bryant doesn’t play? As long as Bryant refuses to
change, it’s actually beneficial to have him off the court. Bryant has had
games with the right balance of passing and shooting, but those are quite
rare. The thing about Bryant is that he’s not getting better. Think he’s
not giving the Lakers their money’s worth this season? Just wait until he
tries to be the Bryant of 2000′s when he’s a year older. Maybe then he’ll
change. Jeremy Lin will probably be long gone by then.
Bryant不打是好是壞？只要Bryant拒絕改變，沒有他在場上確實是比較好的。Bryant有過
一些在傳球與投籃之間取得良好平衡的比賽，但並不多。關於Bryant的問題是他並沒有越
來越好。這個賽季他並沒有給出與湖人給他的薪水等值的表現？只能等到他試著變成2000
年時的Bryant了。也許之後他會改變。只是到那時候林應該早就不在了。
In the meantime… It’s once again Lin in the hands of a coach who prefers
giving others confidence, credit and minutes. We’ve said it at least a dozen
times this season: Lin often needs to make more of the opportunities he gets.
Be more confident and even selfish. But he’s made of substance. The team
comes first, no matter how little part of this team regards him. He has half
a season to do well enough to put himself in a good position heading into
free agency. It might be out of character for him, but considering where the
Lakers are right now, that should be his top priority.
在此期間…再一次地，林落入一個寧願給別人自信、讚揚，以及上場時間的教練手裡。這
個賽季我們已經說過很多次了：林必須把握住他所得到的多數機會。要更有自信甚至自私
。但是他很固執。團隊總是優先，無論這支球隊並沒有什麼人尊重他。他還有半個賽季可
以打得更好，讓他在投入自由球員市場時使自己處在一個好位置。這可能跟他的個性相違
背，但考量到湖人隊現在的處境，這應該是他的第一優先。
版上大家都很關心林 每天都有很多討論
但我相信最知道自己狀況的還是林他自己
希望他能在保持健康的狀況下找到出路
我們能做的就是看他比賽 為他加油 並且靜待機會來臨
林加油!
