Jeremy Lin依舊被低估

Jeremy Lin did not receive a single Division I college scholarship to play
basketball. It sounds ridiculous in hindsight, but Lin has flown under
the radar since long before his Linsanity days. Despite being named to
California's First Team All-State, no Division I school thought he was
worth any more consideration than as a potential walk-on.
很可笑的是儘管已入選加州第一隊的Lin,後來仍舊沒有收到任何一級大學籃球獎學金
的青睞.
Lin instead went to Harvard (a school without athletic scholarships) and
excelled in every facet of the game. After being named to the Second Team
All-Ivy League as a sophomore, he caught fire in his junior year. Lin was
10th or better in the Ivy League in scoring (third), rebounding (10th),
assists (second), steals (first), field goal percentage (sixth), free
throw percentage (ninth), and three-point percentage (eighth). He also
was 11th in blocks per game, and easily made First Team All-Ivy League.
Lin後來去了沒有獎學金的哈佛,在大二時入選了全美常春藤聯盟第二隊,大三那年火
力全開.後來自然地入選了聯盟第一隊.
Lin received another First Team All-Ivy nod as a senior and was one of the
11 finalists for the Bob Cousy Award for best college point guard. Lin
played fantastic basketball in the two biggest games of his college
career, leading Harvard to an upset win over #17 Boston College as a
junior with 27 points, eight assists, and six rebounds and nearly leading
the team to victory over the #12 Connecticut Huskies while putting up 30
points and nine rebounds.
Lin在大四那年再度入選了常春藤聯盟第一隊,並成為Bob Cousy最佳大學控衛獎項11
個最終入圍者之一.Lin的兩場最令人稱道的比賽,大三那年以27分8助6板帶領哈佛打
敗排行17的波士頓學院(註:三天之前,波士頓學院才剛打敗過排行第1的北卡大,這也
是哈佛史上第一次打敗排行榜上的球隊),在大四那年以30分9板差點打掉排名12的康
大.
Overlooked in the NBA
在NBA中被忽視
Once again, however, Lin was overlooked by everyone at the next level. He
went undrafted after his senior season but secured a contract with the
Golden State Warriors after showcasing an effective floor game for the
Dallas Mavericks in the 2010 Summer League. Lin played 29 games for the
Warriors in 2010-2011 in between D-League stints with the Reno Bighorns
before being waived in the offseason.
然而,在選秀中Lin再次地被無視,但後來2010年的夏季聯賽中,對上小牛隊的高效的
表現,讓他拿到了勇士隊的合約.在2010-11的季後被釋出前,總共為勇士出賽了29場.
Lin was signed by the Houston Rockets on December 12, 2011, only to be
waived shortly afterward without playing in a single game. He was signed
by the Knicks on December 27 but played only 55 minutes prior to February
4. Out of desperation, the Knicks were forced to start Lin because
basically all of their other guards were injured. He put up 25 points,
seven assists, and five rebounds, and started the Linsanity craze that
captivated the nation.
Lin在2011年12月12日被火箭隊簽下,但後來就很快的被釋出.他後來在12月27日被尼
克隊簽下,但在二月四號前總共只打了55分鐘.在所有的後衛都受傷的情況之下,尼克
隊被迫讓Lin先發.他拿下了25分7助攻5個籃板,從這開啟了大家耳熟能詳的林來瘋.
Still, the Knicks allowed him to go to the Houston Rockets in free agency.
This was Lin's second stint in Houston, and he started all 82 games in his
first full season as a member of the Rockets. Although he was not as
successful as he was in New York, Lin was still a more than capable
starter for a Houston team that made the playoffs.
不過,尼克隊允許他以自由球員的身份去火箭隊.回鍋火箭的Lin在休斯頓的第一個賽
季先發了82場.儘管他表現沒有像是在紐約那樣成功,以進入季後的火箭隊來講,Lin的
表現算是超過了合格先發的標準.
Daryl Morey spoke about Jeremy Lin in part of his interview with Michael
Lewis for Lewis' most recent book "The Undoing Project" and was shockingly
candid about his views on Lin's abilities: "He lit up our model," said
Morey. "Our model said take him with, like, the 15th pick in the draft. A
year after the Houston Rockets failed to draft Jeremy Lin, they began to
measure the speed of a player’s first two steps: Jeremy Lin had the
quickest first move of any player measured. He was explosive and was able
to change direction far more quickly than most NBA players. "He’s
incredibly athletic," said Morey. "But the reality is that every person,
including me, thought he was unathletic."
Morey在接受Michael Lewis新書"The Undoing Project"採訪時,對Lin的能力的表示
感到震驚:"他摧毀了我們的分析模型"."我們的結論把他排在15順位",後來火箭沒選
他之後的一年,他們開始量測球員頭兩步的速度:Lin是所有測試過的球員中最快的,
"充滿著爆炸性地並能比大多數NBA球員能更快地改變方向.他的運動能力非常好,"
Morey說,"但現實是,包括我在內的每個人都認為他沒啥運動力."
Lin spent a fruitless year in Los Angeles for the Lakers after the Rockets
effectively traded him to unload salary. He signed a two-year deal with
the Charlotte Hornets for $4.2 million, with the goal of rehabilitating
his value around the league. Charlotte quickly realized that they had
found a bargain.
在火箭有效率地交易他後,Lin在湖人浪擲了一年.為了恢復他的身價,他以420萬跟黃
蜂簽了兩年合約.夏洛特很快意識到他們挖掘到了一個超值商品.
Hornets Before and After Lin
黃蜂加入林之前與之後
The Charlotte Hornets were supposed to be a bad team last season. The
Westgate book in Las Vegas set the over-under for their wins total at 32.5
prior to the start of the season. They were expected to win with their
defense, but star defender Michael Kidd-Gilchrist played in only seven
games. Courtney Lee, another solid defensive piece, played just 28 games
in Charlotte.
黃蜂隊上季應該算是一個爛隊.拉斯維加斯在賽季前預測他們的勝場為32.5.他們被預
期贏在防守,但明星大鎖MKG卻只出賽7場.另外一個防守不錯的Lee也只出賽了28場.
Instead of falling apart, the Hornets shocked the league by going 48-34
and finishing in a four-way tie for third place. Everyone heaped praise on
the star backcourt of Kemba Walker and Nicolas Batum and lauded the
bounce-back season from Marvin Williams.
然而,不但黃蜂沒有崩潰,反而是以48勝34敗跟其他四隊並列第3名.每個人都對Walker
和Batum的明星後場的組合讚譽有佳,並稱許了Williams的開低走高的表現.
Jeremy Lin might not have received as many accolades as those three, but
he nonetheless was a huge factor in Charlotte's success last season. He
had a Net Rating of 2.7 — better than every bench player on the roster
besides Jeremy Lamb and Al Jefferson per NBA.com. His Defensive Rating of
100.4 was also better than the team's overall mark of 101.8 despite
playing many of his minutes with Jefferson, a notoriously bad defender.
Lin allowed 0.878 points per possession last season per Synergy Sports,
exactly league average.
Lin可能沒有如那三位主力收到如此般的讚賞,但他仍然是夏洛特上個賽季成功的一個
重要因素.他的淨指數為2.7分,除了Lamb和Jefferson外,優於其他板凳球員.儘管他跟
Jefferson（一個出了名的糟透的防守者）一起上場打了很多時間，他的防禦指數也
達到了100.4分,比起上季全隊的101.8分好.他在對手每一個持球時只允許了對方平均
拿到0.878分(這是聯盟的平均值).
Lin led a Charlotte bench that was 9th in the NBA in scoring in 2015-2016.
Whether he was playing with starters or bench units, he used the explosive
speed that Daryl Morey discussed to drive to the rim. Once he sliced his
way through the defense, he could score effectively or find teammates
cutting to the rim through the space Lin had created:
Lin帶領著夏洛特板凳群,在總得分上在2015-16賽季獲得第九名.無論是在跟先發或是
板凳出賽,他都用Morey所提到的爆炸性的速度切到籃下.一旦他穿過防守,他可以有效
地得分,或者找到透過Lin所創造的空間的隊友:

Lin opted out of the second year of his contract in Charlotte to sign a
bigger deal with the Nets as a presumed starter. Charlotte has not been
the same since his departure. Despite Kidd-Gilchrist returning to the
lineup and Kemba Walker making the leap to All-Star status, the Hornets
are just 29-39 in 2016-2017.
Lin選擇跳出第二年的合約,與籃網簽了一個更大的合約,並成為預定的先發.夏洛特從
他離開以來就一直不順隧.儘管MKG回到陣容,Walker並入選為明星球員,但黃蜂在2016
-17球季中僅獲得29勝39敗.
Although Cody Zeller's absence for much of the season damaged their big
man rotation, the biggest issue for Charlotte this season might be their
backup point guard rotation. Ramon Sessions, signed to replace Lin, is
shooting 38% from the floor. Brian Roberts has somehow been worse,
shooting 36% from the floor. The Hornets have a 2.7 Net Rating with Kemba
Walker on the floor but a disastrous -6.8 Net Rating with him on the
bench. While Briante Weber has been effective in his limited minutes thus
far in Charlotte, the team overall suffers dramatically when a backup
point guard enters the game. The team played just as well with Jeremy Lin
on the floor last year as they have with Kemba Walker on the floor this
year, but somehow Lin's name rarely (if ever) comes up when discussing
Charlotte's fall from grace.
儘管Zeller的缺席了傷害了隊中長人的輪替,但夏洛特本季最大的問題可能還是他們
的替補控衛.取代林的Sessions投籃只有38%.Roberts某種程度上更糟糕,只投出36%.
黃蜂有Walker在場上時有2.7淨指數,但在他下場後卻是災難性的-6.8的淨指數。儘
管Weber在夏洛特在有限的時間裡相當的有效率,當替補控衛進入比賽時,球隊馬上戲
劇性變成另一個層級的球隊,去年這隻有Lin在場時的球隊時絲豪不遜於有Walker在
場上的時候,但是Lin的名字總是若有似無出現在夏洛特的的論功行賞.
Brooklyn With and Without Lin
布魯克林有與無林
The Brooklyn Nets are 7-16 this season with Jeremy Lin in the lineup,
equivalent to a 25-win team in 82 games. Without Lin, they are just 6-38,
which would be equivalent to an 11 win team if projected out to an
82-game season. The Nets are 4-7 since the All-Star break when Lin
returned from his second hamstring injury.
這個賽季當有Lin的時候籃網是7勝16敗,相當於在82場比賽中有一個25勝的隊伍.沒
有林,他們只有6勝38敗,這相當於一個11勝的球隊.自從明星賽後第二次腿傷恢復後
,籃網4勝7敗.
While Isaiah Whitehead has been surprisingly solid for a second round
rookie and Spencer Dinwiddie has been a success, neither of them is
anywhere near as effective as Lin is at running the offense.
以二輪新秀來說Whitehead已然出色,Dinwiddie也穫致相當的成功,但他們任何一個
在進攻組織上還是遠遠不及Lin的有效率.
The Nets had hoped to form a killer pick-and-roll tandem with Lin and
Brook Lopez. So far, Lin has lived up to his end of the bargain when
healthy. 43.2% of his possession come as the pick-and-roll ball handler
per Synergy Sports, and he is in the 85th percentile in pick-and-roll
scoring. Brook Lopez adding a three-point shot has made the duo even
more deadly, as Lin is in the 95th percentile on high pick-and-rolls and
is averaging 1.25 points per possession on those plays per Synergy
Sports. Lin's quickness allows him to dart through the small windows of
space that Lopez generates with his screens:
籃網隊希望與Lin跟Lopez組一個擋拆的殺手團隊.到目前為止,當林健康時他有表現
出他的身價.43.2%中來自於他是擋拆的持球者,在擋拆得分之中他是85%的領先群.
有了Lopez新加入三分火砲的武器,使得這二人組更加致命,因為Lin在高位擋拆為排
名領先群的95%,(在執行擋拆時)平均每持球中可得1.25分.Lin的速度讓他能夠藉
由Lopez的擋人穿入極小的的空間：

If Lin cannot score himself on those drives, he can kick out to Lopez
when he pops out behind the arc:
如果林在切入時不能自行得分，那麼他會把球傳給三分線外的Lopez：

Lin's impact on Brook Lopez's offensive game is almost impossible to
understate. His ability to effectively drive the lane forces defenses
to collapse on Lin instead of double-teaming Lopez. Prior to Thursday's
win over the Knicks, Brook Lopez had a True Shooting Percentage of
62.9% with Jeremy Lin on the floor but a True Shooting Percentage of
just 57% with Lin out.
林的對Lopez進攻上的衝擊是在所難言的.他切入禁區的能力有效地逼迫著防守者包夾
他,而不是去包夾Lopez.在星期四贏尼克隊之前,在有Lin的時候,Lopez的命中率為
62.9%,而Lin在場下時他的命中率只有57%.
In addition to boosting the Nets' offense, Jeremy Lin has been a stalwart
on defense this season. Although he has a tendency to get caught on
screens, his speed allows him to hang with most point guards and his
solid 6'3" frame makes him hard to shoot over and hard to push out of
position. Lin ranks in the 85th percentile on defense this season per
Synergy Sports, despite playing for a Nets team that is third to last in
Defensive Rating per NBA.com.
除了提升籃網的進攻之外,Lin本賽季防守一向是很堅固.雖然他有一個被擋拆擋到的
傾向,但他的速度總是能讓他緊跟的大多數的控衛,他的6'3“的體格讓他很難直接在面
前被射籃跟碾過,Lin的防守在本季排在前85%,儘管籃網的防守是全聯盟倒數第三名.
The play of the Charlotte Hornets without Jeremy Lin this season, combined
with his massive impact on the Nets this season, indicate that Jeremy Lin
is an incredibly important factor in his team's success. While Charlotte's
downturn cannot be entirely attributed to Lin's absence, his numbers in
Brooklyn show that he is arguably worth 10 wins on his own.
綜合本賽季黃蜂隊沒有林書豪的表現,加上本賽季他對籃網隊的巨大衝擊,在在的表現
Lin是球隊成功的一個非常驚人的因素.雖然夏洛特的衰退不能完全歸因於Lin的離隊,
但他在布魯克林的數字顯示,他自己可以值得10勝.
Jeremy Lin might never recapture the lightning-in-a-bottle performances
from his Linsanity days with the Knicks. Ironically enough, however, that
magical run may contribute to why he is so underrated today. People are
disappointed with anything less than his incredible hot streak in New
York, so they dismiss the remarkable impact that he has had on the team
across the East River in Brooklyn.
Lin可能永遠不會再演出如在尼克隊時的林來瘋.然而,諷刺的是,那個奇蹟可能是導致
他今天如此被低估的原因.任何不如林來瘋的表現,人們是不會滿足的,所以他們完全
蔑視了他對布魯克林的極為顯著的影響.
Then again, people might simply be underrating Jeremy Lin because he is
Jeremy Lin. After all, this would not be the first time that people failed
to appreciate his basketball brilliance.
再一次地,人們還是輕易的就忽視他,因為他是Lin.反正這並不是第一次人們無法欣賞
他籃球的卓越.
