Brooklyn Nets: Jeremy Lin New to Being “old”, Not New to Leadership
林書豪不是初次承擔領袖角色, 而是首次得扮演老將 http://tinyurl.com/gsz6pe8
It’s hard to think of Jeremy Lin as an old, experienced veteran, but it all
depends on the situation. With the Brooklyn Nets, he’s on the older half of
the roster, and part of his role next season isn’t just going to be pushing
the Nets on the court with his fast-paced style and aggressiveness, but also
being a leader to a young, untested group.
很難把林書豪看成一位年紀大了有經驗的老將, 但這全都得視情況而定;
在籃網, 他屬於年紀大的另一邊, 而他下季的角色不僅僅是要用他快速的球風與侵略性來
推動整個籃網在球場上的表現, 還在在一群更年輕並且還沒受過NBA洗禮的隊友們面前,
當一位leader
Lin isn’t the only veteran on this roster. Luis Scola and Randy Foye, both
added in free agency, will be the 30+ guys on the roster. Scola will try to
give the Nets some decent minutes (15-to-20 a night?) like he did with the
Raptors, including his newly found 3-point shooting accuracy (hit 40.4% on
2.1 attempts a night last season, after basically avoiding them all year)
while not sucking on defense. Foye will backup both guard positions, will
give some defense, and maybe a little bit of his knack to come up with big
plays in the clutch, while hoping his 3-point shooting picks up, making only
30% of his outside shots last season, playing on the Nuggets and the Thunder.
籃網不是只有林書豪一位老將, 還有著Luis Scola跟Randy Foye, 他們倆都上30歲了.
Scola將會像在暴龍時那樣, 在籃網打個15-20分鐘左右的時間, 然後在不影響防守的狀況
下發揮他新開發出來的三分技能(註: 上季三分出手161中65, 40.4%, 場均2.1命中)
Foye將會是PG跟SG的替補, 他能提供防守端的能量, 或許也可以在關鍵時刻想起三分球該
怎麼出手, 上季他的三分命中率僅有30%
But both these players aren’t going to play meaningful roles. While veteran
leadership in the locker room is always good to have (and I’m guessing that’
s part of the reason Sean Marks signed the two of them), leadership really
manifests, or fails to deliver, with the players who spend most of the time
on the floor. It’s not exactly clear what the regular lineup for the Nets
will be during the regular season, but Jeremy Lin and Brook Lopez will be
there.
但他們兩個都不會是負責到重要的角色, 休息室跟場上的領袖往往不是同一個人, 新球季
籃網的固定先發陣容, 除了林書豪跟Brook Lopez之外都還無法真的確定
And this is also something semi-new to Lin, at least in a full time capacity.
Locked as the starting point guard. Locked as the main ball handler and
decision maker on offense. And also expected to lead this group, help mold it
into something that becomes a winning entity, hopefully even this year,
although don’t get your hopes up on too much success from the Nets in
2016-2017. It’ll be more about figuring out who is good enough to last down
the long and winding road to success.
而這現況對林來說也不算太陌生, 至少以一個主要掌控地位來說, 先發控衛, 主要持球者
, 球隊場上攻勢戰略決定者, 林書豪還被期望去領導這團隊, 被期望透過他來將籃網模造
出一支可以成為能贏球的隊伍, 但不會是今年, 球迷們別太期待籃網今年就能取得很多的
成功; 今年更大的目標是去找出, 哪些球員夠好到可以成為之後球隊持續邁向成功之路的
成員
Lin never had a problem being thrown into a bigger role and leading players,
young and old alike. He welcomed it, every time, and was disappointed it didn
’t happen more. It happened when he played for the New York Knicks in 2012,
thrown onto the court from the edge of the bench to deliver a wild ride and
gave Knicks fans their most fun moments in a very long time, which still haven
’t been surpassed. It happened when playing for the Rockets in the small
moments James Harden wasn’t playing, or was willing to let go. It happened
on the Hornets each time they turned to him. Had they done it more often,
especially in the playoffs, the postseason would have lasted a little bit
longer.
被派與更大角色跟更多領導責任, 對林書豪來說從來都不是問題, 相反的, 他樂於接受這
樣的指派, 並且會對這樣的狀況不夠多而感到失望.
2012在尼克時就這樣過, 從板凳邊邊被丟上場, 然後引爆林來瘋, 至今仍是尼克球迷們長
久以來最令他們難忘迷戀的美好時刻; 之後在火箭, 當鬍子還沒成為他隊友時也曾有一小
段時間這樣過; 在黃蜂時, 每當局勢需要林書豪從板凳跳出來拯救蜂群時亦然, 如果他們
能更加的去倚賴林書豪, 特別是在季後賽時, 那他們的季後賽就能走得更遠些
This will be different. Even if the Nets don’t get the kind of attention the
Knicks do in the New York press, it’s still New York, and Lin will be in the
spotlight every night, and not just for two months of the season, or once
every few games. But from smaller sample sizes, that kind of pressure and
attention has never bothered him. The only things that do are often being
yo-yoed by coaches and not given confidence from the coaching staff. On an
individual level, if he knows where he stands and knows what his job is
instead of guessing each night, he’ll be fine. From what his history in the
league tells us, the better he does, the better his teams do as well.
山遙路轉情況不同了, 即使籃網不像尼克那般吸引到眾多的目光, 籃網仍是支紐約的球
隊, 而林書豪也將每晚都在大家的注目中活躍. 雖然之前的時間比較短只有兩個月, 但
那樣的壓力跟鎂光燈並不會使林書豪感到困擾. 唯一讓他感到困擾的, 就只有教練沒來
由的把他拉上拉下的不信任.
以個別球員標準來說的話, 如果林書豪總能清楚他會打的位置以及他需要做的事, 而不是
每晚都要猜今晚教練會要我做什麼的話, 他就能打得好; 從他之前的紀錄我們可以知道,
只要林書豪表現得更好, 那他所屬的球隊就會正向的更好
