Lin-Consistent: Why Jeremy Lin has Struggled and How to Fix It
by Scott Asai
Jeremy Lin has been given the keys to the car, but sometimes he prefers to
ride shotgun.
As the Lakers starting point guard, acquired from the Houston Rockets in an
offseason trade, Lin has struggled this season to find consistency. Some
games he’s aggressive, hits open shots and drives to the basket regularly.
Other times he hides in the shadows, blends in with the crowd and doesn’t
contribute much. The Lakers, already lacking in talent, need Lin to be the
floor general and run the offense while he’s in the game. Kobe has publicly
and privately been hard on him, but that’s only because he sees potential in
Lin’s game. Let’s take a deeper look at the areas he’s struggled in and
propose a solution to his woes:
交给了Lin一把钥匙，但他却爱坐在乘客座。
Lin从休斯顿被交易过来当湖人的先发，挣扎于找到稳定性。有时候很有侵略性-空档入球
切入。但有时候他却躲在阴暗处不去做贡献。湖人队已经缺乏天赋，需要Lin去当一个场
上领袖主导进攻，Kobe在公开或私下都对他很严格，那也是因为Kobe看到了Lin的天赋。
来深入看看他为何挣扎且如何解决:
Disappearing Act in the 4th quarter. Lin usually plays a strong first half,
getting to the basket, running the offense and hitting open shots. But when
the 4th quarter comes around he morphs into a different player. Lin readily
defers to Kobe in the half court offense via pass or off-the-ball screen. He
doesn’t look to penetrate, run plays or demand his own shot. For defensive
purposes, Ronnie Price is a better defender so when Lin isn’t being
aggressive it behooves the Lakers to have Price close out games because he’s
a pesky defender on-the-ball.
1) 第四节神隐: Lin通常第一节很威，各种进攻，而第四节往往变成一个不一样的人。
开始帮Kobe传球挡人顺从Kobe。他不寻求切入机会不寻求自己的入球。防守端上，在Lin
不积极的情况下，会让湖人将老普视为较恼人的防守者而把老普摆上场。
Lack of Aggression. Observe towards the end of close games, Lin literally
clams up. He dribbles the ball up court, usually passes it to the top of the
key, then screens for Kobe to take a contested shot. If Lin were a threat on
offense, defenses couldn’t help on Kobe and he’d probably be wide open for
a baseline 3-pointer or back-cut to the basket. Instead Lin slows down the
offense to where the defense can predict Kobe will get the ball and is
satisfied spectating. Lin is most effective when he initiates an uptempo game
whether on a fast break or in the half-court. When Lin is not aggressive
during crunch time, it’s questionable why he’s ending games.
2) 没有侵略性: 在比分接近的比赛，Lin开始很刻意运球到弧顶然后传给Kobe, 帮Kobe
挡人，然后让Kobe投那种被防守者挡在前面的球。如果Lin在场上是有得分威胁的，那
防守者可能会去防守他而Kobe就有较轻松的投篮机会。但Lin总是慢下脚步，防守者已经
预料到Kobe会拿到球而且知道Lin会在旁边看。Lin最有效率时是当他他启动快速时无论快
攻或是半场。当Lin不具侵略时那就不用惊讶他没有在场上待到最后。
Whipping Boy. Throughout his career his superstar teammates find it
acceptable to yell at him. Carmelo Anthony, Dwight Howard and now Kobe
Bryant. Lin doesn’t have a confrontational personality which isn’t the
point, but he appears to be a doormat at times. Lin needs to assert himself
at those times and earn the respect of his peers. His stats so far this
season are: 12.5 points, 5.1 assists and 85% from the line. That’s nothing
to scoff at, yet his assist to turnover ratio is a bit under 2 to 1 proving
his decision making ability hasn’t been stellar. In post-game interviews his
mood is usually somber. He’s good at articulating where he can improve, but
his body language communicates a lack of confidence. It even carries over in
games where referees don’t give him the benefit of the doubt because of his
emotional reactions after calls. It’s almost like the officials don’t
respect him. It’s a theme that has to stop if he’s to be successful in L.A.
3)替罪男孩: 总观他的职业生涯他的巨星队友发现吼他并没有什么。 Carmelo Anthony，
Dwight Howard现在是Kobe Bryant。Lin的个性不是硬杠的，但这不是重点，他有时候看
起来很逆来顺受。他必须宣誓主权硬起来让队友尊敬他。他目前的数据不算难看，但失误
率略低于2/1显示他的决断能力并不好。在赛后访问里他通常是闷闷不乐的。他总是侃侃
而谈他能怎么怎么进步，但他的外在表现却缺乏自信。在场上甚至是因为如此裁判对他的
判决会更不利，就像官方认证不尊重他。这是如果他要在洛杉矶成功必须停止的行为。
So with that evidence, what’s the solution?
Simple. Penetration.
When Lin penetrates on offense he’s a better player. Think back to Linsanity
in New York where he had scoring bursts with driving to the basket as the
catalyst. He’s a good passer, but an even better slasher with the ball. When
Lin slows down and walks the ball up-court defenses can get set and he’s
ineffective. Instead even after a made bucket by the opponent, he needs to
either get in the lane by himself or call for a high pick-and-roll to get
near the basket. Lin’s strength isn’t to initiate the offense by passing,
his game is based on speed and moving without the ball to hit open shots.
When Lin doesn’t move, his game becomes stale. That’s why penetration is
the starting point for all good things when it comes to Lin. He’s a much
more aggressive defender when he’s contributing on offense. Kobe is a
willing passer when teammates cut to open spots and don’t watch him. So far
Nick Young is the only teammate Kobe trusts in the clutch because Swaggy
wants the ball. Lin is a solid 3-point shooter and great in the
pick-and-roll, but he’s got to stay aggressive in the 4th to enhance winning
basketball. As a Harvard graduate, so far it’s been mental mistakes that
have hurt Lin the most in the crucial minutes. He’s capable, but the
question is: is he willing?
Only Lin can answer that. Not with his words, but only by his actions on the
court. The Lakers need Lin to be a steady contributor on a nightly basis for
the Lakers to get back into playoff contention.
解决方式: 简单，切入
当Lin作切入时他是一个较好的球员。回想他在纽约时林来疯时期，他的得分大爆发就是
因为不断切入为一个催化剂。他是一个很好的传球者，且有球在手时更强。当他速度停下
来时会帮助防守者设定好降低他的效率。即使在被对方得分后，他需要自己切入或者叫人
帮挡执行挡拆。他的强项不是从传球开始，他的优势是速度，是无球跑接球投篮得分。
当Lin不跑动时他变得恹恹无生气，这是为何切入会让Lin的一切变好。他是一个侵略的
防守者当他的进攻很有贡献时。Kobe会比较偏向传给跑动到空档的队友而不是站着看他
的队友。Nick Young是Kobe唯一在关键时候信任的人因为Young会要球。Lin是一个很好
的三分射手，很好的Pick-and-roll执行者，但他必须在第四节保持侵略。一个哈佛大学
的毕业生，目前他做了一个错误的心理设定，这在关键时候伤害了他自己。他有能力，
但是问题是: 他要吗?
只有Lin可以做出回答，不是用说的，在场上做出来。湖人每晚都需要Lin稳定的贡献去
闯进季后赛。
