Jeremy Lin: What's his Role with the Lakers?

为节省时间就不逐字翻了...大致意思:
Byron Scott announced his starting line up awhile back. He nominated Steve
Nash as a starter. While this may have been done based on Nash’s
reputation, there is no guarantee that he’ll be able to start and play all
82 games this season.
Byron Scott宣布Nash会先发，这是基于尊敬Nash，并不保证他将是82场先发。
Jeremy Lin is going to be the point guard for the Lakers. Steve Nash has all
of the credentials, but father time is catching up to him quickly. Jordan
Clarkson is an incoming rookie doing every thing he can, but things change
once the lights of the regular season shine on the floor.
Lin将会是湖人的先发控卫。Nash年纪大了而Clarkson会尽力去表现但是第一年将不会那
么顺利。
What does this mean for Jeremy Lin?
Jeremy needs to assert himself within the team and find where he fits best.
As a player for the New York Knicks, there was no doubt he was the leader of
an injury-depleted team. He led the team to multiple victories while being a
near 20-10 point guard for over a month. While there is no doubt that Kobe
Bryant is the captain of the team, Jeremy needs to set up the half-court
offense, dictate the tempo, distribute the ball, and most importantly, attack
the basket.
这对Lin意味着什么?
Lin需要找到最适合自己的位置。在当时伤兵累累的尼克时期20-10无疑是当初的领袖，
现在Kobe是领袖，Lin需要组织半场进攻，节奏，传球，最重要的是攻击篮框。
New Laker point guards often get caught up in facilitating to Kobe Bryant or
Pau Gasol. Do you remember what Steve Nash looked like running the Princeton
offense? Every time down the floor, he gave the ball up to Kobe. Ramon
Sessions stopped attacking the basket like he did as a player for the
Milwaukee Bucks. Pau Gasol is no longer a Laker. Kobe Bryant may not be his
All-Star self. Derek Fisher fit perfectly next to Bryant, because he would
spot up at the corners of the floor while Bryant went to work.
当初湖人的控卫无非是球给Kobe或Gasol。Nash在普林斯顿进攻体系里面也必须球给Kobe
， Ramon Sessions当初在场上也没有像从前在公鹿时出手那么多。如今Gasol离队而
Kobe可能不是当初的全明星鼎盛时期。Fisher是最适合Kobe的...角落男。
This time it’s different.
While the Lakers of the 2004 season may be considered a failure, it proved
that Gary Payton could play next to Kobe Bryant. Phil Jackson wanted the
Lakers to run the triangle offense every time down the floor, limiting Payton
’s abilities with the lack of pick-and-roll play and transition play.
Despite the injuries and missed games of that season, the Lakers finished #1
in the Western Conference that year.
Jeremy Lin, ideally, would push the tempo for the Laker team. Not only is he
a great finisher at the hoop for the point guard position, but high
percentage shots can be found with a quick-hit offense. There, Lin can
assert himself as a scorer and still find opportunities as a ball-distributor
within the offense.
Defensively, Lin did a lot of work this off-season. Beyond lateral movement
and fundamentals, he needs to assert his energy and enthusiasm on the
defensive end. If his energy can rub off on a young Knicks team to wins, the
same can happen to the current Laker team. Byron Scott is making defense a
priority, and stopping the basketball at the point guard position, is where
it starts.
现在状况不同了...
这段说Gary Payton跟Kobe搭配得很好，即使没有冠军但季赛以第一名坐收...
Lin是理想控制节奏的脚色，他不只是一个很好的攻击型控卫，在节奏快速的情况下
命中率更高，Lin可以定位自己是得分手，且找寻机会在进攻时担任传球者角色。
防守方面，Lin在这暑假下了很大功夫，除了侧移和基本动作Lin必须在防守注入能量和
热情。他当初能带领尼克赢球在湖人也可以。Byron非常重视防守，而且PG是防守的始端
。
Overall, Jeremy Lin has his work cut out for him. While he may have fallen
out of favor with the Houston Rockets under Coach McHale, this current team
may be the best situation for him. He can learn from Hall-of-Fame players in
Kobe Bryant and Steve Nash. He can use his style of play to blend in well
with what Byron Scott wants. He can finally get the minutes to be the
starting point guard that he deserves to be.
总而言之，Lin有他的工作要做，不像当初在吼建不被海尔爱用，现在的球队对他而言
是最好的状态，他可以向名人堂的Kobe和Nash学习。他可以将Byron的打法融入自己的
风格，他终于可以有他应该有(deserves)的上场时间了。
