A Thought Experiment to Wake People Up to Why the Argument for Jeremy Lin
being Needed with 2nd Unit is Disturbing
一个思想上的实验 : 解除 认为林需要在替补阵容的人们的洗脑 是会使人爆怒的
Those well-meaning people who argue that Lin is needed with the second
unit generally present an argument that goes something like this.
那些认为林需要在替补的"好心"人通常会提出以下观点
----------------------------------
Lin is needed with the second unit, because right now, they don’t have enough
guys who can score in the second unit–especially with Nick Young out.
林需要打替补,因为现在湖人的替补阵容没有足够的人可以得分,尤其是尼克杨挂掉了。
So they need Lin to run the show there and be the primary scorer. Additionally,
Ronnie Price is not up to the task of bearing the brunt of the scoring or play making role,
so allowing Ronnie Price to run the second unit would be disastrous.
所以湖人需要林在替补阵容中担任控场角色并且做为进攻箭头。此外,因为普莱斯控场
能力不够而且也不能当进攻箭头,让普莱斯运转替补阵容会变成大灾难。
Having Lin run the second unit is not saying that Price is better than Lin.
In fact, it is saying that Lin is better than Price and that’s why
Lin is NEEDED to run the second unit. We need the better point guard to run
the second unit. Also, Lin has chemistry with Davis, so he needs to be in the
second unit to run PnRs with Davis. Kobe Bryant can take care of things with
the first unit, and besides, Kobe is a ball-dominant guard, so it makes more
sense for Lin to be with the second unit.
让林运转替补阵容不是说普莱斯比林更好。事实上因是因为林比普莱斯更好才需要林来
运转替补阵容。我们需要更好的PG来运转替补阵容。而且林跟戴维斯很来电,所以林需要
在替补阵容中跟戴维斯打挡拆。老大能顾好先发阵容需要担心的事情,此外老大是需要
持球的后卫,所以把林放在替补阵容更好。
-----------------------------------
Sounds logical enough, right?
听起来很有逻辑,对呗?
Well, what if, instead of Jeremy Lin, the Lakers have someone like Dragic
(or insert ANY PG not named “Jeremy Lin” that’s better than Price)
as the Point Guard. Do you think there would be ANY discussion about
whether or not Dragic should start?
呐,如果说不是林,湖人有另一个像是抓鸡(或是其他不是叫做林但是比普莱斯好的PG)
之类的PG,你认为还有任何抓鸡是否该先发的争论呢?
Of course there wouldn’t. And you know why? Well, because Dragic is a
starting point guard, of course. It’s obvious! Dragic doesn’t belong with
the second unit.
当然这不可能了呗?那你知道为什么吗?因为抓鸡是个先发PG,很明显不是吗?抓鸡
不可能打替补啊!
Are you out of your mind?!
因此,
So how come with Dragic on the team instead of Lin, the Lakers’s second unit
suddenly don’t need any help?
所以如果湖人现在拥有抓鸡而不是林,湖人的替补阵容突然就不需要任何帮助了吼!?
Suddenly, Price is more than capable of running the second unit? Isn’t Dragic
better than Price?
突然间,普莱斯变成有能力控制替补阵容了逆?不是说抓鸡比普莱斯好吗?
I thought we wanted the better point guard to run the second unit,
since the second unit needs SO much help. At least that was the case when
it was Lin on the team, instead of Dragic.
我认为我们需要更好的PG在替补阵容内控场,因为替补阵容需要更多帮助。至少那是因为
林在湖人里,而不是抓鸡。
So how come it’s no longer the case now? And don’t we need Dragic to
be with Davis so he can run PnRs with Davis? Also, suddenly with Dragic on
the team, Kobe is no longer a ball-dominant guard?
那汝说为什么这突然都不是理由了呐?而且我们不是需要抓鸡跟戴维斯打挡拆吗?而且
当抓鸡在队伍里的时候,老大就变成不需要一球在手的后卫了唷?
I don’t understand how well-meaning people don’t see how disturbing the
argument for why Lin is needed with the second unit is. The argument itself
is not logical. And that’s the problem I have with it.
我不了解那些"好心"人没看见林需要打替补这争论是令人困扰的。这争论一点逻辑都没有
。这就是我困惑的理由。
If people were to make a logical argument, then it would go something like
this:
如果人们要逻辑的来论证一下就会变成下面这个样子呗
Lin > Price = Lin is needed with Second Unit ==> Lin doesn’t start
林比普莱斯好=林需要打替补=林不先发
Dragic > Price = Dragic is needed with Second Unit ==> Dragic doesn’t start
抓鸡比普莱斯好=抓鸡需要打替补=抓鸡不先发
This pair of logic language matches so it makes sense. But, instead, this is
the argument people would make:
这两个等式应该要相呼应才会合理。不过相反的争论人们总是会......
Lin > Price = Lin is needed with Second Unit ==> Lin doesn’t start
林比普莱斯好=林需要打替补=林不先发
Dragic > Price = Dragic is needed with Second Unit ==> Dragic starts
抓鸡比普莱斯好=抓鸡需要打替补=抓鸡先发
Any eight year old could see that this pair of logic does not match up and
this is why it’s so vexing to me why people don’t see how disturbing their
logic is for why Lin is needed with the second unit.
任何八岁小孩都可以看到这逻辑狗屁不通。这就是为啥我对于人们为啥还不醒悟如此火大
