Jeremy Lin, Kemba Walker backcourt pairing paying early dividends for Hornets
林書豪+Kemba的後場組合股份有限公司發股利給黃蜂囉~ http://tinyurl.com/qgqqh5l
One of the biggest mistakes the Charlotte Hornets ever made was signing Lance
Stephenson. He was supposed to team with Kemba Walker during big moments to
give the Hornets another player who could score and make it simpler for
others to score. Instead, he was a mess, and he lasted only a year.
黃蜂所犯過最大的錯誤就是簽下Lance Stephenson, 當初簽他來是想用他去跟Kemba搭配
, 在關鍵時刻能讓其他能得分的黃蜂球員可以好好拿分; 但事與願違, Lance是個災難,
而且只待了一年
But the Hornets have found that player in the backcourt who can team with
Walker. His name is Jeremy Lin. He costs about a quarter of what Stephenson
did. And he has already made Charlotte a team that is way more fun to watch.
但所幸黃蜂找到另一個能跟Kemba配合的後場球員, 就是林書豪, 並且只需要Lance 1/4的
年薪, 林書豪的加入很快的就讓黃蜂成為了一支讓人更有興致觀看其比賽的隊伍
I know it is only preseason, but the Hornets' 6-0 record is attributable in
part to the graceful way Lin has adapted to his new team.
我知道現在只是季前熱身賽啦, 但至今黃蜂熱身賽6場全勝的戰績真的得歸功於林書豪
順利迅速的融入球隊
Consider Monday night. Kemba had 22 points in 31 minutes, but zero assists
and just one rebound. Lin had 18 points, a team-high eight rebounds and five
assists.
想想上一場比賽, Kemba在31分鐘內拿下22分但沒有傳出助攻也沒有抓下籃板; 然後林書
豪拿下18分+全隊最高的8籃板 & 全隊最高的5助攻
Lin is so much better than Stephenson was for this team. He makes quicker and
better decisions with the ball, his 3-point shooting spaces the court and his
defense isn't as bad as advertised.
事實證明林書豪比Lance更適合黃蜂隊, 林書豪能更迅速並更好的處理球, 林的三分能力
拉開了場上空間, 他的防守也不像傳說中的不好
I'm already wishing the Hornets had Lin under a guaranteed two-year deal.
Instead, the second year is at Lin's option, which means if Lin has a great
year he could leave for bigger money elsewhere.
我已經開始希望看到林書豪在黃蜂打滿兩年, 但第二年林有球員選項, 這代表如果這球季
林書豪打得出色, 下個球季他可能會跳脫來尋求更大的合約
Said Lin of his new relationship with Walker: "The biggest thing is – and
that’s not just me and Kemba (Walker), it’s any basketball relationship –
you have to want to see the other person succeed. I’ve been very impressed
with who Kemba is as a person and how down to earth and humble he is. We’ve
been able to get along off the court and carry that onto the court and it’s
been fun. I love playing with him."
對於跟Kemba的新夥伴關係, 林書豪說:"最主要的, 這也不單單指我跟Kemba, 這是所有籃
球方面的關係, 就是你必須有一顆想要其他隊友獲得成功的心, 我印象很深刻的一點就是
Kemba是個很低調謙遜的人, 球場之外我們能好好相處, 並把這種情誼帶上場, 這很有趣,
我真的很喜愛跟他一起並肩打球~~"
Said Walker of what Lin brings to the court when they are on it together: "It
takes a lot of pressure off me. I don't always have to go back for the
basketball every time. When he's out there, he's helping me with the pace,
with the tempo. He's very unselfish and he can score the basketball very
well. So that's fun."
至於同與林書豪在場上林在場上所帶來的效應, Kemba如是說:"有林一起在場上真的釋放
了我許多壓力, 我就不用老是每次都得我來處理球; 當林書豪上場時, 他幫助了我調整
節奏跟步調, 林真的是極其無私的球員, 然後更爽的是林書豪還能很出色的得分, 這真的
很棒!"
Lin and Walker are natural point guards, but Lin can slide over to the
shooting guard spot with little problem. You can tell Hornets coach Steve
Clifford likes this lineup. Charlotte gets into its offense earlier with it
and gets better shots out of it. Defensively it will sometimes be a struggle,
but it hasn't been yet.
林跟Kemba雖都是天生的PG, 但林書豪能夠近乎完美的切入SG的角色, 我想大家都看得出
來黃蜂教頭挺喜歡這陣容的, 黃蜂的攻勢也因為這陣容能夠早早的進入狀況; 這陣容未來
或許有時候在防守上會遇到麻煩, 但目前還沒看到
Of the Walker-Lin grouping, Clifford said: "I think it’s just two really
good pick-and-roll players on the floor together. And also when (Nicolas)
Batum is out there, because he’s also a good pick-and-roll player, they draw
two defenders every time they get in the pick-and-roll.
對於"林-Kemba後場組合", 教頭Cliff說:"我認為這真的是兩個優秀的擋拆球員並肩的組
合, 此外Batum也是個很棒的擋拆球員, 當Batun也同時在場上時, 他們每一次總是都能
吸引兩名對方防守球員然後順利打好pick and roll~~"
“Then when the ball moves, the next guy has room, or there’s so much space
on the other side. That’s really what the NBA game is about. Put all three
of them out there, it’s such a good skill level that we can create shots."
"接著當球流轉時, 另一個人就有了出手空間, 或是場上弱邊就出現了大空檔, 這就是
NBA的精粹啊! 同時把書豪 & Kemba & Batum放上場, 我們黃蜂就會瞬間level up!"
The preseason will soon be wiped off the books. Charlotte opens for real on
Oct. 28th, at Miami. And the Walker-Lin pairing is just one of the reasons
this season has serious potential.
黃蜂的例行賽將在10/28於邁阿密做客開始, Jeremy & Kemba Backcourt Corp.就是本
季最令人期待的亮點~
