Jeremy Lin exclusive: I will always have haters
As he looks back on the craziest year he could imagine, Bay Area native
Jeremy Lin had no choice but to concede to the truth of hindsight. He did
let Linsanity go to his head.
當他回頭檢視這瘋狂的一年,Lin不得不承認,他的確有讓Linsanity這樣的效應
影響到(他的確曾經被這樣的事衝昏頭)。
"If I'm being honest, in some ways, yes," Lin told this newspaper in an
exclusive interview. "I fought it every day. But I think subconsciously, it
had its effect, everyone catering to you. People were saying only good
things for so long that when people said negative stuff, it was like, 'Whoa,
what's going on?' "
"如果要我很誠實的講,某些方面,是的。"Lin在這個報紙專訪裡說到:"我每天都在
跟它對抗,但是我想潛意識裡,Linsanity在我身上有它的影響,每個人對我很好,
大家一直都跟我講我很好,所以當有人開始批評我時,就變成:哇,這是怎麼回事。"
After Lin signed a three-year, $25 million contract with Houston, a lot of
negative stuff was said. He's selfish. He's all about the money. His ego is
out of control. And, to top it off, many deemed him a basketball fluke who
already has maxed out on the court.
在Lin簽了這個3年2500百萬美金的合約後,很多批評都出來了,說他自私,說他只在乎
錢,說他太自負。而且,很多人說他只是運氣好,說這將會是他拿到最好的一次約,
以後沒有了。
And he doesn't seem too concerned with repairing his image or proving
himself right. He said too much going well to be worried about the
negative.
而他看起來並不在乎去修正人們的想法或去證實他才是對的。他說有太多好的事
情在發生,他並不擔心這些負面的評論。
"It's not about who's right or who's wrong. I'm going to respond with love,"
Lin said. "That's why I'm in this position, to show love and become a
better person. I'm trying to focus on the right things. I'm thankful for
everything that's happened. The Lord has blessed me so much."
重點不是在誰對誰錯。不過怎樣,我的回應都會是"愛"。這是為什麼我現在在這裡,
就是要去告訴大家"愛"的重要,以及成為一個更好的人。我試著想要專注在對的事。
對於至今發生的事我充滿感激。上帝對我是如此的好。
A year ago, Lin was in the Bay Area working out as hard as ever, trying
to make the NBA his home. Since then, it has been quite the roller coaster.
He has experienced the lowest low -- being waived twice and wondering if
he would make it in the NBA. He has experienced the highest high –
orchestrating one of the most dominant stretches in basketball memory,
posting 20 points and seven assists in seven straight games (all wins) and
becoming a global star.
一年前,Lin在灣區勤奮地健身,想要永久在NBA立身。從那時起,就開始了他雲霄飛車的
旅程。他已經經歷過他人生的最低點:被揮棄了兩次以及擔心他是否仍能待在NBA。他也
經歷了最高點:在NBA主導了有史以來最讓人印象深刻的一連串比賽的其中之一,在七連
勝中,他平均得分20,貢獻7次助功,而且變成一個全世界的明星。
An injury reeled him back into the stratosphere as April 2 surgery to repair
a torn meniscus in his left knee knocked him out for the rest of the season.
But the real humbling came after he signed the offer sheet from Houston.
That's when the tide turned.
受傷讓他得要在4/2暫停下來並接受手術修復他左膝的半月板,而且之後那季的球賽都
無法出場。但真正讓他受挫的事是在他跟休士頓火箭簽下這紙合約後。這是一次大轉折。
"It did kind of hurt," Lin said. "I had to remind myself who I'm living for.
Do I fear God or do I fear man? I know my actions and I know I would
change nothing if I could go back."
"這的確讓我有點被傷到了",Lin說。"我必須提醒自己我是為了什麼而生存在這世界上。
我是害怕上帝,或者是我是害怕人們?我知道我在做的事,而且我也知道就算我能將時光
倒流,我也無法改變任何事。"
Lin said he expected to -- wanted to -- re-sign with the Knicks. But the
Rockets, who reportedly pegged him as a primary target, came after him
hard. First, they agreed to a four-year, $28 million offer sheet, paying him
about $9 million in each of the final two years. But by the time Lin arrived
in Houston to sign the offer sheet, the Rockets -- after reports the Knicks
would match -- had pulled the first offer and changed the deal. The new
offer sheet was for three years, with a third-year salary of $14.8 million.
他說他之前期待,也想要,和尼克簽約並留下來。但火箭隊,傳言之前就將他當做要簽
下的目標之一,非常熱切的想要他到火箭隊。一開始他們同意一份4年2800萬的合約,
在最後兩年一年是900萬左右。但在Lin到達休士頓正式簽約前,因為有報導尼克將會跟
進後,火箭修改了他們的合約。新的合約是3年,第3年1仟4佰8拾萬。
"I didn't go back to them and ask for more money," Lin said. "It wasn't like
they gave me the choice to sign one of the two and I chose the one that
would hurt the Knicks. I had one contract offer. That was it."
"我並沒有回頭去要求他們給我更多的錢",Lin說。"並不是他們給我兩份合約去選擇然
後我選擇去簽那份尼克無法跟進的。從頭到尾我就只有一份合約可以簽。就是這樣。"
With no other offer on the table, Lin signed. The controversy began.
沒有其他合約給他,Lin簽了眼前這份合約。然後紛爭就開始了。
