The Toronto Raptors sacrificed some depth to acquire Marc Gasol from the
Memphis Grizzlies at the trade deadline, but the roster is already starting
to take shape.
暴龍日前為了得到小嘎獸，犧牲了一些板凳深度，但現在球隊輪轉名單已經開始成形。
According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, Jeremy Lin is in the process of
finalizing a buyout with the Atlanta Hawks, paving the way for him to sign
with the Raptors once he clears waivers. With Lin, Chris Boucher and Malcolm
Miller on board, Toronto will be back up to 14 players on its roster.
據Woj的報導，林被老鷹買斷合約後轉戰暴龍，加上Chris Boucher和Malcolm Miller，暴
龍的輪轉名單恢復成14個人。
While it's been an up and down season for Lin - he came out of the gates slow
after missing all but one game of last season with a torn patella tendon in
his right knee - he fills a huge need for a Raptors team hoping to make a
deep run in the playoffs.
對林來說，去年球季是起起伏伏的，一場比賽就傷了右膝而傷停了整個賽季。但現在，暴
龍需要林的協助以在季後賽能夠走得更遠。
Here's why.
以下就是原因
What Jeremy Lin brings to the Raptors
林能給暴龍甚麼？
Lin will take over Delon Wright's role as a combo guard off the bench and
make up for the loss of Fred VanVleet, who is expected to miss at least three
weeks with a left thumb injury sustained over the weekend. While Lin is more
of a one than a two, he's perfectly capable of playing both guard positions,
as he showed in his one season with the Charlotte Hornets when he was
primarily a shooting guard next to Kemba Walker.
從板凳出發的林能接替Wright的雙能衛角色，補足失去因為拇指傷勢預計會缺席三周的VV
的板凳深度。林能同時扮演兩種後衛角色，因為除了控衛以外，在夏洛特的那一季也展現
出身為SG時能與當時主控天行者完美搭配。
That'll give Nick Nurse the option of playing Lin alongside Kyle Lowry at the
end of games if he wants another playmaker on the court.
這讓暴龍教頭Nick Nurse能在比賽後段需要多一個出手選擇點時能擺上林跟羅莉一起搭配
Regardless of how end-of-game situations shake out based on matchups, Lin
will at the very least provide instant offence off the bench. He averaged
10.7 points and 3.5 assists in only 19.7 minutes per game with the Hawks this
season. That works out to be 19.6 points and 6.5 assists per 36 minutes,
numbers more in line with what he's averaged in his NBA career.
先不管在決勝期能做出甚麼，林起碼應該也能在板凳提供進攻火力，他在老鷹每19.7分鐘
貢獻10.7分和3.5助攻，換算每36分鐘的話則是19.6分和6.5助攻，這比他生涯平均還高。
Lin has always done the bulk of his scoring in pick-and-rolls, where he's a
threat to pull-up from midrange and finish around the basket with floaters
and crafty layups. It remains to be seen which of Serge Ibaka and Marc Gasol
is going to start at centre for the Raptors moving forward, but pairing
either one of them with Lin will give the bench a go-to option they've been
sorely missing this season.
林擅長打擋拆切入，可以中距離出手或是切入上籃，Ibaka及小嘎獸將會扮演暴龍的移動前
場，不管林跟哪一個搭配，應該都可以提供暴龍消失很久的板凳火力。
Lin will be able to run the same pick-and-pops with Ibaka that Lowry has and
Gasol is a similar threat in those situations, albeit one whose range
stretches out to the 3-point line.
就像羅莉跟小嘎獸的組合，林也可以跟Ibaka打pick-and-pops(擋拆球員外拉)，將火線拉
到三分線距離。
Lin should benefit from playing with them, too. Ibaka and Gasol are both far
superior shooters than what the Hawks currently have at centre, so he should
have more room to work with when operating in pick-and-rolls.
林也能從中獲得好處，相比老鷹隊中鋒，Ibaka及小嘎獸的外線好太多了。所以林能有更
多的空間執行擋拆後切入的進攻。
The reason Lin can slide over to the two is because he's been a decent
outside shooter for most of his career. He has struggled from the 3-point
line this season, but Lin made 39.0 percent of his catch-and-shoot 3-point
attempts in 2016-17 and hovered around 35.0 percent in both 2014-15 and
2015-16.
能跟這兩位一起搭檔的另一個原因是林的職業生涯中也展現出他能投3分，雖然他這季的三
分有點掙扎(3P%:33.3%)，但他16-17球季有39.0%，14-15以及15-16合起來也有35%左右。
At the very least, Lin is a willing 3-point shooter. He's taking 6.1 triples
per 36 minutes this season, a sizeable increase from what Wright averaged
(3.6) prior to the trade.
最起碼，林敢於三分出手，每36分鐘林三分出手6.1次，對比Wright的3.6次是多出很多。
With how inconsistent the Raptors have been from the 3-point line - they're
shooting 36.8 percent in wins and 29.3 percent in losses - it'll only help
having another player on the court who can knock down an open shot and attack
closeouts.
暴龍的三分不太穩定，贏的時候三分命中有36.8%，輸的時候是29.3%，若有一個能在外圍
出手以及貼身防守下也能進攻的球員，一定是有所幫助的。
To go along with the scoring, Lin is a solid passer and a smart defender.
He's not as versatile of a defender as Wright, but a good enough one to hold
his own and be on the floor in important moments of the game.
除了得分以外，林有順暢的傳導也是個聰明的防守者，雖然防守強度不能像Wright一樣，
但也足夠讓他在比賽重要時刻站穩場上。
The icing on the cake is Lin has a history of playing well against the
Raptors. Now that he's in Toronto for the remainder of the season, they don't
have to worry about seeing him in the playoffs on a team like the
Philadelphia 76ers, who will likely be on the market for a backup point guard
between now and the start of the postseason.
錦上添花的是，林對上暴龍一向打得不錯，現在暴龍不用擔心在季後賽看到他在其他隊，
譬如76人，因為76人也期待在市場上找到個替補控衛。
Not only did the Raptors sign a key piece to help fill out the rotation, they
kept him away from other point guard-needy contenders.
如此一來，不只暴龍獲得一個能很好地接上輪替名單上的球員，也防止林跑到競爭者球隊
去。
