最近看到阿豪似乎有不受教頭重視的感覺
隨手找找與兩人相關的外絮 順手翻了以下這篇
可惜舊了一點 是在對戰騎士之後發的稿子

The last two games for the Charlotte Hornets have shows a worrying
trend regarding Jeremy Lin and his treatment at the hands of Steve
Clifford, although in such a long season, sometimes trying to make
too much of just two games isn’t the right approach.
林書豪過去兩場 (vs WAS & CLE) 的表現與教練對待他的態度令人擔憂，
但賽季還很長，僅用兩場比賽的結果來評斷一切或許操之過急。
But Lin has played the fourth quarter in almost every game this
season, or at least most of it. If his benching in the win over
the Washington Wizards can be explained by having a bad game
(scoring 5 points in 15 minutes), probably his worst of the season,
there was no sense of throwing him out of it in the fourth quarter
in the loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. While Lin wasn’t having
the game of a lifetime, he was making the team better, and one
turnover resulted in him going to the bench, and the team falling
apart.
阿豪幾乎本季每場比賽的第四節都有上場，至少多數都是。然而，在對巫師
隊拿下勝利的比賽中他在第四節坐了板凳，或許因為該場是他本季最差的出
賽紀錄 (15分鐘僅拿下5分)。但在輸給騎士的比賽中，僅因一次失誤就讓阿
豪坐板凳實無道理。該場比賽阿豪在場時黃蜂有更好的表現，也因此在阿豪
下場後黃蜂更無力回天。
Lin isn’t the whole team. Nicolas Batum is an important part, and
so is Kemba Walker. But those three are the guys who usually handle
the ball and create stuff for themselves and others. Jeremy Lamb
also dabbles in things other than scoring, but he should stick to
shooting and finishing alley oop lobs from Lin. He’s not a great
floor manager or passer, and in the few times he tried and lead the
second unit by handling the ball the Hornets looked bad, and never
returned to that.
阿豪不能代表整支隊伍。Batum 很重要，Walker 也是，他們三個都是黃蜂隊
很重要的持球者，懂得為他們自己與其他隊友製造機會。Lamb 雖然在得分之
餘也能作些什麼，但他應該更著重在投射與接受阿豪的助攻來記第一時間灌
籃。Lamb 並非是個好的組織者或傳球者，當他掌控球權時也使黃蜂的第二陣
容看起來缺乏競爭力。
But as we’ve written probably 50 times over the last four seasons,
Lin has things a lot of other NBA players making twice and four
times his salary don’t have. Besides his improved long range
shooting (something of a slump lately) and much improved defense,
he has fantastic passing skills and vision, a constant drive to the
basket approach that always makes a defense think and get disorganized
(if there’s help from his other teammates in motion away from the
ball) and there’s that unquantifiable flair aspect which usually
belongs to players who are stars of their teams.
在前四季的比賽中我們已經寫了不下 50 次，林有許多其他 NBA 球員所沒有的
特質，這些球員的薪水甚至數倍於阿豪的薪水。除了阿豪已經改善許多的外線
投射 (雖然最近有待加強)和防守，他有高超的傳球技巧與視野，持續衝擊籃框
並撕裂對方的防守 (如果隊友不像豬一樣的話…)，也常和其他明星一樣擁有一
些難以數據化的特性 (靈氣？ 阿豪最缺的就是哨子)。
And when the Hornets signed Lin for a steal of a contract, it seemed,
at least from the words of Michael Jordan, that they know how important
he can be for them. And in an inconsistent way, especially with P.J.
Hairston not playing, Clifford shows he thinks that too. This isn’t
a case of a head coach who almost openly resents his own player like
Byron Scott and to a lesser degree, Kevin McHale. Clifford doesn’t
seem to be out there to hurt Lin’s career. Which makes the last two
games and the overall approach of treating him differently than other
players so difficult to comprehend.
黃蜂在阿豪的合約上佔了便宜，至少看起來是 (根本是搶劫吧…)。大帝也說阿豪
對黃蜂非常重要，而 Clifford 則以表裡不一的方式表現他也這麼認為，特別在
Hairston 不在場上的時候 (這傢伙怎麼會一直先發呢 = =||)。雖然 Clifford
不像 BS 與冰箱那般公開表自己的球員，但也不像會傷害阿豪的未來生涯。這也
使得以 Clifford 過去兩場比賽的調度來評斷他運用阿豪的態度有所改變顯得有
些以偏概全 (現在可是有四場比賽佐證了唷!)。
This is a long season, and a couple of games of being dropped in the
rotation hierarchy doesn’t always mean something in the long run.
But if it doesn’t, it shows some bad instincts from Clifford regarding
what works and what doesn’t for the team, at least in the Cavaliers
game. He showed creativity in the win against the Kings by using a
shooting sorta small-ball lineup to win that game, and went a whole
different direction in the loss to the Cavs, for some reason punishing
Lin for one mistake while allowing others to get away with theirs. For
the sake of the team’s season, he needs to make better decisions
in these moments.
這個賽季還很長，幾場失敗的調度不會總代表些什麼。然而，這些比賽總讓人直覺
Clifford 並不知道哪些調度會幫助或傷害球隊，至少從對騎士的比賽來看是如此。
他用小球陣容逆轉國王證明他的創造力，然而在對騎士一戰卻又導向完全相反的結
局，只為了一個阿豪的一個錯誤而懲罰他，卻又對其他人的失誤視而不見。為了球
隊的整個賽季著想，他需要在這個當下作出更好的決定。
第一次翻外電，若有不妥當的地方敬請指教! 也希望阿豪能開始轉運~
