Hopeful He Had Found a Home in LA, Jeremy Lin Again Left Looking for Answers By Kevin Ding , NBA Senior Writer Dec 8, 2014 希望他在LA找到家，Lin又再一次出發去尋找答案 http://ppt.cc/g2lg LOS ANGELES — Jeremy Lin, backup point guard, threw the hoodie up and over his head and headed out of Staples Center late Sunday night undercover. After saying before the season he was OK whether he started or didn't, Lin had just admitted to reporters he totally cares now that he's again not starting—even though he gave the impression he was OK about not starting while in Byron Scott's office Sunday morning. It is a cycle of confusion that continues for Lin in a disappointing first Los Angeles Lakers season he hoped would bring the stability he has long sought. Thing is, it's not just a starter-or-reserve jumble. This is a full-blown identity crisis—and a completely understandable one. Who is Jeremy Lin supposed to be? Jeremy Lin，替補控衛，用帽子蓋著頭，上一個星期天晚間從Staples Center走了出來。之前說過他不在乎先發或替補的他坦承他確實很在意，即使他星期天早上在教練的辦公室表示ok。在他希望在洛杉磯穩定下來卻失望時，迷惑又再一次輪迴，這已經不是先發或替補的問題，這是一種自我定位的全面危機 --完全可以理解。到底Lin是什麼? He's the guy who gets a tribute video played in his honor when he returns to face his former team…except the record shows the Houston Rockets had to give draft picks to the Lakers to get them to take him off their hands. He's the global icon who transcended the sports world with the New York Knicks after being hardly recruited out of high school, undrafted out of college and cut twice in the pros. He plans this season to replace the 2012 splash of Linsanity with a sustainable level of excellence, but his lack of nuance in running the team offense and his defensive mistakes make it unclear whether he is, to be blunt, good enough to do what he intends. 他在回到前東家地方打球時獲得感謝影片，前東家之前卻是給了選秀權把他脫手。他是一個高中畢業後差點找不到學校，選秀落選，被裁兩次，在紐約尼克爆發的全球品牌。他計畫在2012年林來瘋之後能穩定發揮到最好，但在處理進攻上缺少細膩和防守上的犯錯讓他自己變得不清楚到底他自己，坦白說，是不是能像他想要得這麼好。 He was actually asking a pastor to pray that he wouldn't get cut again just before he saw his life erupt into some of the most insane highs anyone has ever experienced, yet he wants more than anything to focus on humility. Add it all up, and it's confusing who Lin is supposed to be, even before you have Kobe Bryant telling him he has to play with an "eff-it attitude" while Scott is nagging him to call more plays for his teammates and make more responsible defensive rotations. 在他爆發經歷其他人從沒有過的瘋狂之前他才剛剛像牧師祈求過希望自己不要被裁，然而他之後只專注於保持謙虛。即使在之前Kobe要他強硬起來，教練碎念他組織起隊友在防守端負起責任，種種一切讓Lin迷惘到底他應該是什麼? Lin's answer to it all is to lean on his religious beliefs. He said recently that as important as basketball is to him, his family is more important than basketball, and God is more important than his family. As he tried to accept Scott's decision after 20 games to start journeyman Ronnie Price for better point guard defense—with the coach committing to at least a 10-game audition for Price—Lin said Sunday night, "This is one of the toughest situations I've been in ever since I started playing the game of basketball. I'm trying to figure it all out. It's tough, but I believe God has me here for a reason, and I just keep working." Scott's choice to insert both Price and Ed Davis into the starting lineup to create "a defensive-minded basketball team" didn't spark anything in a 104-87 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans. And Scott acknowledged the Lakers lost their will to compete because they couldn't score. Lin將一切歸他的宗教信往，最近他才說家人比籃球重要而神比他的家人重要。在他試著接受20場比賽之後教練基於防守考量讓浪人控衛Price先發的說詞之時-- 試驗10場--Lin說道，"這是我從打籃球以來最嚴峻的狀況之一，我正在試著解決，這很難，但我相信神有旨意，我只需做我該做的。"然而教練讓Price和Ed先發組成以防守考量的隊形並沒有產生效果。星期天以104-87輸給鵜鶘。教練說他們沒法競爭因為他們無法得分。 Maximizing Davis' defense over Carlos Boozer makes sense, but no Lin means the Lakers are starting four weak offensive players in Price, Wesley Johnson, Davis and Jordan Hill. It's just the latest example of Scott putting too much burden on Bryant, whose hope had been to have offensive balance with Lin creating on the perimeter and Bryant from the free-throw line down. Although Bryant said he expects Lin to "stick with it" instead of being down on himself, there has already been a heavy feeling with Lin this season. It has been especially noticeable since he declared this season would feature more of his true presence and be less about outside pressure. For someone with freakish acceleration and some hysterical off-court videos, Lin hasn't been a light presence. That's what happens when you carry a lot of stuff with you and aren't sure which parts are the most you. Lin walked into Toyota Center three weeks ago for his first trip back to Houston and made a point to wear a sweatshirt with "CALIFORNIA" across the chest. Born in Los Angeles and raised in Northern California, Lin has relatives all around him to offer more support. Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak has been interested in bringing Lin to this team basically his whole professional career. 用Ed替代Boozer強化防守合理，但是沒有Lin表是湖人先發四個是進攻貧弱的球員-- Price, Johnson, Davis, Hill，這只是最新的一個教練讓Kobe負擔太重的一個例子，本來Kobe希望跟Lin在進攻上達到平衡效果。雖然Kobe期望Lin撐住別沮喪，但Lin已然覺得相當沉重。這在Lin表示會展現自己不在乎外在壓力之後更加明顯，相較於一個有相當快的加速度和場外的搞笑影片，Lin顯得很嚴肅。這會發生，當你不瞭解不確定到底自己是誰的時候。Lin三個星期前胸前穿著"加州"的衣服回到休斯頓，在加州出生北加長大，Lin有著親友的支持，湖人隊總管米奇一直對於將他帶到湖人有濃厚的興趣。 Lin felt things were set up to take off for real for the first time. Instead, he has been tugged in many different directions, with the hoped-for solid foundation undermined by what he described as "new everything. ... I'm trying to figure out everything all at once." He is not secure in his role or in his identity. He's 26, but Scott still refers to him as a "kid." He might still wind up a Western Conference All-Star starting guard next to Bryant even though he's not starting next to him on the Lakers. It's crazy, but Lin doesn't know if, when or how far the pendulum will swing next time. "Me of all people," he said, "I know it can change overnight." Here's what Lin doesn't know: stability and security, safe and sound, night after night. He actually looks back on last season as a comfort zone because he got to be in the same place for a second year. Yes, change can be absolutely exhilarating. But peace is a prize. 他感到一切已就緒準備重新開始，相反地，他被帶往各種不同的方向，原本帶著希望會有穩定的定位，現在他說"我現在突然要試著找尋方法解決"。他對自己的角色和身分沒有安全感。他已經26歲但教練仍然將他視為小孩。他仍然有可能進西區的全明星比賽，這很瘋狂，但Lin不確定到底何時又會變動。林說"對於我而言，一夕之間一切都會變化" Lin感受不到穩定，保障，安全感，他甚至認為上賽季因為是第二年因此反倒覺得適應。改變當然讓人感到興奮，但是穩定有時卻是彌足珍貴。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 184.180.220.229 ※ 文章網址: http://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Jeremy_Lin/M.1418128223.A.A7E.html
