Jeremy Lin: Charlotte has been 'liberating in a lot of ways'
http://www.foxsports.com/nba/story/jeremy-lin-charlotte-hornets-110915
Jeremy Lin's NBA career was on the rocks last season when he fell in and out
of Byron Scott's rotation with the Los Angeles Lakers. It was horrible, an
experience no NBA player would wish on another.
當林書豪上一季被湖人總教練BS用"陣容亂搞"之術胡亂抽調位置時, 其NBA生涯跌入了低
潮, 那真的很糟糕, 應該是任何NBA球員都最不想要有的經驗
But now he's on the Charlotte Hornets, firmly entrenched as Kemba Walker's
backup, and he's encouraged to play his style and do what he's best at. It's
like night and day. Here's what Lin recently told CBS Sports about the move:
但現在來到了黃蜂, 固定的去當Kemba的替補, 並且被鼓勵去打出他自己的風格跟做他擅
長的事, 這兩季就像是黑夜與白晝的轉變, 下面就是林書豪最近跟CBS記者提到的
“We understand that it's a long year and you gotta have fun,” Lin said. “
We want to develop something where we are really close with each other on the
court and off the court. That's why we spend a lot of time together and why
you see us having a lot of fun and joking around. We really want this to be a
great experience.” It has only been six games but this type of experience
and the culture in Charlotte is what Lin has been searching for throughout
his rollercoaster NBA journey. With a consistent role and a good team
atmosphere, Lin seems at home in Charlotte. “[Charlotte] wants me to go play
my game,” Lin said. “That's liberating in a lot of ways.”
"我們都清楚這是個漫長的球季, 得在這過程中找到樂趣才能持續下去, 無論場上或是場
下我們都想要發展出更緊密的關係, 這就是為什麼我們花了許多時間聚在一起, 也是為
什麼你會看到我們對著彼此開玩笑以及一起玩, 因為我們真心想要讓這段隊友關係成為
一段很棒的經驗", 雖然球季僅進行了六場比賽, 但這樣子的經驗跟黃蜂的球隊文化恰恰
是林書豪在NBA長期以來所追尋的; 穩定的球隊角色跟氣氛, 黃蜂讓林書豪有家的感覺,
書豪說:"黃蜂要我打出我自己的比賽風格, 這真的在很多方面都讓我更輕鬆自在"
Lin's box score stats aren't noticeably different from the past few seasons,
but he's getting to the line more and running more pick-and-rolls (his
specialty).
雖說林書豪在數據上的表現跟以往幾季並沒有太明顯的不同, 但他真的比以往更常站上
罰球線, 也更常打他擅長的擋拆了
The international sensation is finally comfortable, and that's more important
than anything else.
我們的書豪終於來到了讓他舒適的球隊, 這個就是最重要的事情~
