Re: [外絮] Jeremy Lin ruined by the Rockets, but

Jeremy Lin ruined by the Rockets, but Coach of the Month imposter Kevin
McHale's only damaging himself http://tinyurl.com/loh4onb
火箭毀了林書豪, 不夠格卻榮膺二月最佳教練的McHale這樣做只會害到他自己
by 書豪好朋友 Chris Baldwin
Jeremy Lin's gone from starter to bench player to forgotten man. It's been a
stunningly swift and merciless plunge, one orchestrated by a coach who
clearly never wanted anything to do with him.
從先發被降到板凳再貶黜為無關緊要的路人, 林書豪令人訝異的居然遭受到命運如此
迅速無情的打擊, 一個人主導了這打擊, 就是明顯的丁點都沒想要好好用林書豪的總
教練 -- McHale
Lin — who never deserved to lose his starting job to Patrick Beverley in the
first place — is now no longer even the first option off the Houston
Rockets' bench. Not really. Not in true practice.
起初, 林書豪壓根就不應當失去他的先發位置給Patrick Beverley, 而不久後的現在,
甚至不是替補的第一選擇! 這不應該發生啊! 這不切實際啊!
In three of the last four games, another bench player has received more
minutes from coach Kevin McHale than Lin. In two of those games, two other
bench players logged more time than Jeremy Lin. And it would be four for four
if Jordan Hamilton hadn't been promoted to the starting lineup Saturday night
against Detroit when Chandler Parsons had another one of his one-game
absences.
前四場有三場另一位替補從McHale手中獲得了比林書豪更多的上場時間, 這三場中甚
至有兩場替補球員上場時間林書豪只排第三! 更別提若不是有一場Jordan Hamilton
是因為代替Chandler Parsons先發的緣故, 前四戰林書豪就都不是替補上陣最多時間的
Remember how everyone defending the point guard starter switch argued that
the move really benefits Lin and maintained that he'd get just as many
minutes and be featured better as a sixth man?
Yeah, how's that working out?
還記得季初那些說讓林書豪降打第六人對他來說最好, 上場時間不會減少的狗臭屁嗎?
是的寶傑, 這狗臭屁還真是xdc$5的臭....
It's appears now that discounting and diminishing Jeremy Lin has been part of
the agenda since Day One. Slowly but surely, McHale's made Lin as irrelevant
as the coach and general manager Daryl Morey apparently always wanted him to
be. Morey and McHale may no longer be able to cut Jeremy Lin on Christmas
Eve, but they can ensure he has no shot at being a real NBA factor.
現在回頭想想, 那些懷疑打壓林書豪的戲碼從開季第一天就開始動作了, 緩慢卻確實,
Mchale把林書豪型塑成一位教練跟Morey不會想要的樣子, 耶誕節前Morey跟McHale或許
沒能把林書豪交易出去, 但現在他們很確定林書豪再也無法成為一名NBA的重要分子了
What's the problem you ask? The Rockets are rolling (8-2 in February and 19-6
overall since the calendar flipped to 2014) and Houston NBA excitement's the
highest its been in years heading into Tuesday night's Toyota Center showdown
with a safely clear masked LeBron James.
你或許會問這樣有什麼問題嗎? 火箭目前戰績火燙耶~ 在和下一場的熱火賽前, 火箭
目前獲得的關注來到了近年來的最高點!
No doubt the Rockets are devastating — and arguably the most entertaining
team in basketball — when they're playing the Detroit Pistons and Los
Angeles Lakers of the world. Dwight Howard's throwing alley oops to Terrence
Jones, James Harden has his pick of wide open teammates to hit and any old
guy off the street (or at least out of the Denver Nuggets' doghouse) can take
advantage of all those uncontested threes.
無懸念的火箭擁有極大的吸引力, 也能夠說火箭的比賽最富娛樂性 -- 當他們本季對戰
活塞與湖人時. 你可以看到Dwight Howard助攻給T.J.空中接力灌籃, 也能看到鬍子突
然丟炸彈給空檔的隊友砍三分
Things get a little more complicated against the LA Clippers and Oklahoma
City Thunder though. The teams the Rockets need to beat to reach what should
be championship visions don't roll over for the speed team. Patrick Beverley
hits the big three against a collapsing Phoenix Suns team, but faced with the
Clippers he struggles to five points, two assists, four turnovers and six
fouls. He fouls out while Chris Paul (14 points, nine assists) and Darren
Collison (19 points) take turns absolutely torching him. He has to be
restrained from almost going after a taunting fan.
但當火箭對戰快艇跟雷霆時, well....事情會變得比較複雜點. 火箭想稱王必須擊敗的
隊伍們並不畏懼火箭的快&狠. 對上衰退中的太陽, PB能砍進令人驚艷的三分決勝球,
但當面對快艇時PB卻打得很掙扎, 只拿下5分2助攻4失誤跟6犯離場..另一邊的CP3則是
14分9助攻, 以及Darren Collison的19分, 在快艇的後場面前, PB整個就是.....輸惹
Meanwhile, Jeremy Lin is marooned in nowhere land, without a defined role, a
coach's confidence or a sure future of his own.
此時, 林書豪已經被火箭放逐到角落, 沒有個確定的角色讓他發揮, 沒有教練的信任或
一個確定的未來....
[抱歉突然有急事, 懇請勇者接力翻譯~ 在此謝過了~~]
Lin could have been the X-factor for the Rockets against elite teams. He
should have been the X-factor. His NBA success, talent (you don't get a
triple double off the bench without being incredibly talented) and playmaking
skills scream this out. But no one's listening and that chance is all but
gone now.
林書豪可能是對上強隊的X 因子，他應該要是X因子，他在NBA的成功、天份(沒有天份很
難從板凳拿到大三元)、組織比賽的能力都說明了這些，但沒有人要聽且機會已經幾乎不
見了。
Jeremy Lin's been messed with so much this season that his confidence finally
appears shot. He looks like he's caught in-between on everything and who can
blame him? Lin's hesitating, almost overpassing. He's turning down open
shots. He's lingering outside the 3-point circle, just another one of Morey's
zombie long range shooters rather than the lane attacking rim difference
maker he is.
林書豪這一季被惡搞的很慘以至於他的信心似乎毀了，他看起來似乎身陷其中，誰能
責怪他? 他變得猶豫，拿到球就傳，空檔也不出手，他徘徊在三分線外，只是另一個
Morey眾多長距離殭屍射手的其中一個罷了，而不是攻擊籃框具主宰力的球員。
All the while, Lin's minutes go down and talk of a "slump" is fueled by
McHale, who helpfully offers that he isn't worried and that Lin will snap out
of it.
一直以來林書豪上場時間變少及陷入低潮的言論都是冰箱在加油添醋，他說他不擔心林書
豪且知道他會恢復正常。
Snap out of what? Getting jerked around like a toddler's favorite plush toy?
恢復什麼小? 故意惡搞他，像是幼童最愛的填充玩具嗎?
Kevin McHale's Big Issue
冰箱最大的問題
One might assume this is all working out great for McHale. After all, he got
named Western Conference Coach of the Month on Monday for that fantastic
February. And he's rightly being lauded for his skill at getting the best out
of Dwight Howard.
有人可能會說這對冰箱來說有效，畢竟他是二月的西區最佳教練，且他被稱讚可以讓魔獸
拿出最好的表現。
It's one great house of cards though. McHale's diminishing of Jeremy Lin is
liable to cost him his job in the end. The Rockets won't be able to live up
to the supersized expectations with their third best player reduced to a
footnote. McHale will get a pass these playoffs, but before long the pressure
will build and you be can sure that Daryl Morey won't be the one leaving the
building.
這是一個權謀的遊戲，冰箱冰林書豪最終會讓他失掉工作，隊上第三好的球員被冰成這樣
將使火箭無法符合超大的期待，冰箱季後賽會過關拿到及格的分數，但在那之前，壓力會
慢慢形成，你可以確定的是Morey不會是那個離開的人。
The coach has turned these Rockets into a much faster-paced version of the
2012-13 Brooklyn Nets, a squad that excelled at beating up on lesser teams.
Like the Nets of last season, the Rockets are setting themselves for a four
vs. five first round playoff series and the instant disappointment that can
come with it. Maybe that's an improvement over what the Rockets were earlier
this season when they fell to the Sacramentos, Utahs and Lakers of the
league. But it shouldn't be close to enough. Not with this talent. Not with
such wide-open opportunity.
冰箱已經把火箭變成更快的2012-2013球季的籃網隊，擅於擊敗次要的球隊，就像上一季
的籃網，火箭首輪設定為四打五，很快的失望就會來了，或許有改善球季初輸給國王、爵
士、湖人的問題，但那還不夠，有這位天才這樣還不夠好，有這樣好的機會還不夠好。
Unless Morey rescues McHale with a Kyrie Irving (less and less likely with
the superstar breakthrough which CultureMap called at last February's Houston
NBA All-Star Weekend now apparent to all) or a Rajon Rondo, the coach will
ultimately be doomed by his inability to accept Jeremy Lin's talent.
除非Morey用Irving或Rondo來拯救冰箱，冰箱終究會因著無法接受林書豪的天份而失敗。
Precious time and chances will be gone by then though. It's all going to be
no consolation for Lin, Rockets fans or owner Leslie Alexander.
但珍貴的時間和機會屆時將消失，對林書豪、火箭球迷、老闆Alexander都不是慰藉。
The star in limbo is sure to lead to many lost dreams, no matter how many
folks don't want to see it. Maybe entertaining is enough. Maybe the high
probability of beating a Miami Heat team in the second game of an early March
back-to-back with your rested squad is all the thrill required.
這位被忽略的明星肯定會帶來很多遺忘的夢，無論人們多不願意看到，或許娛樂已經夠了
，或許有很高的機率擊敗背靠背的熱火隊是興奮的必要元素。
For McHale's not just slamming the door on Jeremy Lin. He's in danger of
prematurely closing the Rockets' championship window.
冰箱不是對著林書豪關上大門，而是他陷入草率關上冠軍之窗的危機之中。
