< Los Angeles Lakers’ Jeremy Lin making an impact beyond box score >
By Mark Medina, LA Daily News (洛杉磯每日新聞)
A buzz hovered around the arena, long after Kobe Bryant and Steve Nash
dazzled the crowd with encouraging signs that their health has not failed
them.
Instead, Jeremy Lin took over the spotlight. You would not know if you just
glanced at the box score, his six missed field goals in the Lakers’ 98-95
preseason win Monday over Denver in San Diego sticking out like the torn
ligament in Nick Young’s right thumb. But Lin’s 10 assists reflected the
26-year-old guard’s success in bringing offensive clarity among an assorted
cast of role players.
當人們在為Kobe和Nash戰勝健康問題而歡欣時，林搶走了聚光燈，乍看之下0-6令人
感到礙眼，但實際上呢? 10個助攻數反映了這個26歲的後衛將各樣角色球員帶進了
一個清晰的進攻裡。
“I just want to figure out how I can bring my strengths and apply it best to
this system,” Lin said. “It’s kind of like a chess match in learning and
figuring it out.”
林說 "我只想帶來我的強項並運用於這個體系，就好像下棋一樣一面學習一面思考如
何拆招解招"。
The Lakers expect Lin to finish with the same efficiency as his last season
with Houston, where he shot 57.8 percent off drives, a statistic that only
trailed LeBron James. But with the Lakers losing Young as their top reserve
for about the next eight weeks, coach Byron Scott said Lin will become either
the first or second reserve to enter the game.
湖人期待他能有跟上季一樣能跟LBJ媲美的切入效率，在沒有Young的下個八週裡，
Byron說林將會是替補裡第一或第二選擇。
“Jeremy didn’t shoot the ball well,” Scott said, “but he did a great job
of orchestrating the offense and making great passes.”
Plenty of them went to Lakers forward Ed Davis, whose 12 points on 6-of-7
shooting featured him and Lin working off one another on pick-and-roll sets.
The chemistry worked so well that Scott has considered ensuring that the two
play together in future exhibition games.
“Sometimes you don’t always need to score or get as many assists,” Lin
said. “As long as you’re aggressive, something will open up.”
Byron說 "林進攻狀況不好，但是他在整合進攻和助攻傳球上做得非常好"。 受益最
大的是 愛的戴維斯 (感謝版友casman提供此暱稱) 先生 (12pts 6-7)。總教練考慮
讓林和戴維斯的搭配以及林的擋拆在接下來的比賽裡展現。
林說 "我不是每次都會刻意取分或者助攻，只要維持侵略性，機會就會來臨"。
