Three years after Linsanity, he’s stuck in Lakers purgatory
By Justin TerranovaJanuary 29, 2015 (以下有省略一些不重要的)
On Wednesday night, Carmelo Anthony was asked about emerging Knicks guard
Langston Galloway and how the rookie doesn’t shy away from the big spots.
“I don’t know, man, I would say probably Linsanity,” Anthony said. “[Lin]
wasn’t a rookie, but he was here and he had that mindset of taking the big
shot when he first got here. I don’t like to compare anything, but Langston’
s mindset of being willing to take that big shot, take the open shot, just
having the opportunity out there, I think Langston loves those moments.”
Linsanity was born three years ago in the wake of the last time the Patriots
were in the Super Bowl — losing to the Giants in Super Bowl XLVI. In the
news vacuum that followed, Lin took New York and the basketball world by
storm, revitalizing the Knicks after an uninspiring start to the season.
星期三夜晚，Carmelo Anthony被問及後衛Langston Galloway和菜鳥無懼投關鍵球。"我
會說, Linsanity，" Lin當初不是菜鳥，但他當初剛到這時能處理關鍵球的心態堪比。
我非刻意比較，但Langston求表現的心理狀態讓他有機會，我想他喜歡那樣的時刻"。 三
年前Lin在紐約， 在籃球世界造成一股風暴， 讓尼克隊重新回到了季後賽。
Now, with shot-heavy superstar Kobe Bryant sidelined for nine months with a
torn rotator cuff, it would appear Lin would have a chance to star again on
the talent-deprived Lakers. But in the first game Bryant missed — Friday
night against the Spurs — Lin did not get off the bench, passed in the
rotation by rookie Jordan Clarkson and veteran Ronnie Price. Not exactly
Magic Johnson and Jerry West.
“I’m human. I got emotions,” Lin told the Los Angeles Daily News about the
benching.
“I show up and do my best to play and work hard. But it definitely hurts. It
’s discouraging sometimes and disappointing. All of those emotions, of
course. I don’t think anybody would feel great after a DNP, no matter who
you are.”
A far stretch from the height of Linsanity — look at the Raptors crowd
rising to the moment.
現在握有大部球權的Kobe已經因為肩傷休息，意味著Lin將有機會在天賦貧乏的湖人
隊先發。但當Kobe休息的第一場比賽對馬刺Lin就被DNP, 敗給了菜鳥Jordan Clarkson
和老將Ronnie Price - 注意，不是Magic Johnson和Jerry West。 "我也是人我也有情
續" "我在場上或訓練都很盡心盡力，但這(DNP)當然會痛，有時候總會沮喪失望，任何
人都一樣，被DNP都不會好過"。 (以下絕殺暴龍影片)
Lin talked to coach Byron Scott about the snub and came off the bench in
losses to the Rockets and Wizards as the Lakers plummeted to 12-34.
“I watch and see how the game is going,” Scott told the paper. “I have a
good idea of what I’m going to do. But I let the game dictate that.”
Lin had two respectable seasons in Houston after leaving New York, but saw
his role reduced as the talent around him grew to contender level in the
brutal Western Conference. He saw significant action in the Rockets’ playoff
series defeat by the Blazers before being dealt to the Lakers to open up cap
space. Now he finds himself fighting for a similar reserve role — or worse —
on a team with far less ability.
Scott’s first season back in Los Angeles has been a disaster, from Bryant’s
questionable shooting to prized rookie Julius Randle missing all but 14
minutes of his season with a broken leg to Nick Young saying “pretty much
just give me the ball and get out of the way” after Bryant’s injury.
Though Lin’s rise came with Anthony out with a groin injury, it appears no
Linsanity sequel is coming out West.
“The only thing that has been consistent is the amount of inconsistency I’
ve had in my life,” Lin said. “I’ve gone from getting cut in the D-League
to starting to playing heavy minutes to all these different roles every week.
I have to keep staying aggressive when I get out there.”
Lin離開紐約後在火箭過了令人尊敬的兩個賽季，但是他的角色被削減然而他身邊有天賦
的球員已成長到了西區能爭冠的程度，在火箭的季後賽表現優異，接著被拓荒者打敗後
被送至湖人以清空間，現在他發現自己遇到類似的狀況-被降到板凳，甚至更糟，
他在一個更加糟糕的隊伍裡。史考特第一年回到湖人已經是個災難，從Kobe的第一個問
題投籃到Julius Randle開季就受傷，到Kobe受傷後Nick Young說 "給我球然後閃開"。
Lin當初跟Carmelo的開始到受傷，似乎林來瘋在西岸不會發生了。
"唯一穩定的是我所面的所有的不穩定"，Lin說。 "從在發展聯盟被砍到能獲得很多的上
場，到每個星期都不一樣的角色，我在場上就必須保持侵略。
