Jeremy Lin benching reaches new heights of insanity: McHale's dooming the
Rockets to first round failure
冰來瘋探新高：火箭將在McHale的帶領之下，於季後賽第一輪步向滅亡
Jeremy Lin sits and sits ... and sits. He doesn't get back into the game until
it's long gone and there's no chance to save the Houston Rockets from the
most embarrassing collapse in NBA regular season history.
林書豪坐著...坐著....坐著...坐到天荒地老。在這場NBA史無前例的大崩盤中，火箭
在被對手甩得看不到車尾燈之後，林書豪才回到場上，可惜已無力回天。
When Kevin McHale finally reinserts Lin, Oklahoma City holds a 97-89 lead
with only 4:05 remaining. Lin immediately hits a long jumper, but it's too
late to stave off the Rockets humiliation at this point. Houston — one of
the most talented teams in the NBA — will limp to a still largely
unfathomable 19-point second half with its best playmaker glued to the bench
for large chunks of the meltdown.
當McHale終於把林書豪擺回場上時，只剩下4分05秒，雷霆以97-89領先。林書豪立刻
投進一記長距離跳投，但仍無法讓火箭脫離如此窘境。休士頓火箭隊－一支才華洋溢的
隊伍－整個下半場竟然只得到19分，而且還在領先優勢逐漸被鯨吞蠶食之際，讓隊上最
優秀的進攻發動機死守開特力。
Even Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant will be caught off guard by how
low the Rockets managed to go.
甚至連雷帝KD都對火箭隊下半場的低迷表現大為吃驚。
"The scored 19 points in the second half?!" Durant says in a live on-court
TNT interview. "Wow."
「下半場19分!? 太驚人了！」KD在TNT的賽後訪問說道。
The really Wow is how McHale allows the Rockets to sink to historical
futility while chaining his best point guard to the bench. All the analysis,
all the articles written and all the groaning let loose in the days following
Houston going from a 73 point first half to a 19-point second half somehow
ignore this inconvenient truth.
真正驚人的是McHale在球隊大崩盤時，竟然把隊上最好的控球後衛綁在板凳上。在火箭
隊上半場得73分，下半場得19分的崩盤秀之後，所有的評論、文章、抱怨聲傾巢而出，
但不知為何他們全都忽略冰林書豪導致崩盤的難堪事實。
It's easier to declare that the Rockets need to make a trade than to admit
what they're wasting that's already on their roster.
也許我們可以猜想火箭在醞釀交易，而不是平白浪費這位陣中好手。
Kevin McHale's treatment of Jeremy Lin has quickly gone from questionable to
absurd. A 10-point win over the worst team in the NBA — with Terrence Jones
treating the Bucks like they're Radford University — doesn't change this
fact.
McHale對待林書豪的方式很快地從有問題變為愚蠢。對爐主公鹿的比賽以10分之差取勝
，也無法改變這個事實。
It's bad enough when McHale benches Lin for Patrick Beverley, a limited
player whose intangibles somehow never seem to show up in any of the
analytics that Rockets general manager Daryl Morey treasures. Lately,
McHale's been benching Lin for Aaron Brooks, a 6-foot point guard who nearly
found himself out of the league a few years ago.
McHale讓林書豪當Beverley的替補已經夠愚蠢了，Beverley在總管Morey的眼中從不
是個重要資產，只是個天花板有限的球員罷了。(別戰嘿~小貝打球也很努力～)
In the Thunder debacle, Lin plays only 24 minutes, the same as Brooks. Two
nights later against Milwaukee, Brooks gets 25 minutes and Lin receives a
measly 23 minutes of court time.
在被雷霆電焦焦的比賽中，林書豪僅上場24分鐘，與小AB一樣。兩天之後對上公鹿，
小AB上場25分鐘，而林書豪竟然僅僅只有23分鐘。
Even when Beverley is injured, Lin is only a starter during introductions.
Once the games start, McHale goes back to treating him like a scrub.
即使Beverley因傷缺賽，林書豪也只是個名義上的先發罷了。一但比賽開始，McHale
又會把他當成空氣。
With Beverley set to return from his broken hand Monday night against the
Portland Trailblazers, things aren't about to improve. McHale is already
gleefully taking about Beverley and Lin being able to get back to their roles.
當Beverley即將在對上波特蘭拓荒者隊的比賽回歸之時，情況不會有任何改善。McHale
樂於讓林書豪跟Beverley回到之前的角色。
Which means Patrick Beverley will get unlimited chances as the starter while
Jeremy Lin's tight leash continues off the bench.
這代表著當林書豪被拴在板凳上的時候，Beverley將以先發身份得到更多表現機會。
Jeremy Lin's Sliding Minutes
林書豪上場時間的下滑
Lin's dilemma is actually getting worse. Now McHale's taken to sitting the
25-year-old for ultra long stretches. The coach kept Lin on the bench for 17
straight minutes against the Bucks. He played him the first eight minutes
against the Thunder and then didn't go back to Lin again till late in the
first half. It's a farce that's only growing more ridiculous.
林書豪的困境不減反增。McHale給了25歲的林書豪極長的冷凍時間。這位天才教練在對
公鹿的比賽中連續冰了17分鐘。在對雷霆的比賽中，他讓林書豪打了開場的前8分鐘，
然後在上半場快結束時才再把他擺回場上。這場鬧劇越看越可笑。
Only Morey and Rockets owner Leslie Alexander should not be laughing.
也許只有Morey與老闆Leslie Alexander笑不出來。
For the Rockets are continuing to flounder around, treading water in the
power packed Western Conference. If the playoffs started today, McHale's team
wouldn't even have homecourt advantage in the first round of the playoffs.
The Rockets are fifth in the West, one game ahead of current sixth seed
Golden State, which has a ton of home games coming up. Do you really think
anyone would favor Houston in a four-five series against the LA Clippers and
Chris Paul?
火箭隊在西區列強中持續掙扎。如果季後賽從今天開始，McHale的隊伍在第一輪甚至
沒有主場優勢。火箭目前在西區排名第五，與第六名的勇士隊僅有一場勝差，而勇士
在接下來的比賽中有一～大堆的主場比賽可打。你認為有誰會覺得火箭能夠擊敗快艇
跟小保羅？
"I've thought the Rockets, all along, are not legit contenders," Charles
Barkley declares on TNT.
TNT球評惡漢巴克利說道：「老實說我不認為火箭有角逐冠軍的實力。」
Not with Patrick Beverley or Aaron Brooks playing point guard, they aren't.
當Beverley與小AB當控衛時，火箭的確沒有這個實力。
With a Jeremy Lin who is given the confidence to attack and play through a
few mistakes, they could be though.
當林書豪在進攻上建立起信心，而且沒犯什麼錯時，火箭是一支強勁的隊伍。
McHale is stubbornly holding back his own team. Whether he cannot see the
truth staring him in the face or simply doesn't want to see it, does not
matter at this point. Lin's shown he can play at a level that neither
Beverley or Brooks are capable of reaching. He's carried a team offensively
before. Heck, he's carried these Rockets in stretches.
McHale對自己的球隊固執地畫地自限。不論是他看不到事實，或是他視而不見，都不
重要了。林書豪早已證明他能夠到達Beverley與小AB所無法到達的高度。他曾經在進攻
端上帶領一支球隊。唉...但他在火箭卻是如此悽慘。
Houston simply doesn't have enough weapons to win in the playoffs if Lin
continues to be benched and banished. Offensively is where its recent
meltdowns have come. The pathetic finish in Atlanta after that 11-0 start.
The second half implosion for the ages against the Thunder at home.
如果林書豪在季後賽依然被冰在板凳上，火箭將沒有足夠的武器來取勝。進攻是近來
火箭的問題。在對老鷹一戰中開局11-0之後進攻開始杯具，還有在自己家裡對雷霆時
下半場的自爆。
Francisco Garica and Omri Casspi are both much too inconsistent shooters to
be counted on nightly. Chandler Parsons is a true third star only in Never
Never Land. James Harden's individual brilliance and Dwight Howard's power
and underrated heart will mean little in the end if Jeremy Lin isn't allowed
to be a point guard.
老賈跟Casspi這兩位不穩定的砲台每晚都受到重用。在現實世界中，Parsons根本稱不上
是個巨頭。如果林書豪不被重用，即使Harden個人技巧多突出，DH有多猛，全都沒用。
Forget McHale's tired mumbo jumbo about the ball getting "sticky" sometimes
(a lot of times) and Howard's naive insistence that the Rockets will just
naturally grow to be better by April. The true super promise of the season is
slipping away now thanks to the guy with the clipboard.
把McHale那些關於「有時候(其實是很多時候)球的流動性不佳」之類的屁話，以及DH說
球隊在四月前會越變越好的天真傻話給忘了吧！我可以跟你掛保證的是這個球季會以失
敗收場，而這都要歸功於那位拿著戰術板的傢伙。
The Rockets need a change in coaching philosophy. Someone must make Kevin
McHale see the truth he keeps looking away from.
火箭隊需要改變他們的執教哲學。必須要人來擦亮McHale的雙眼，讓他能夠看清他不
願正視的事實。
