Los Angeles Lakers – Jeremy Lin Never Dreamed He’d be Backing Up Jordan
Clarkson
洛杉矶湖人队 ─ 林没想过他会打Clarkson的替补
Even teams that tank win from time to time. The Los Angeles Lakers beat the
Chicago Bulls 123-118 to get their moment in the sun, with Jeremy Lin doing
well off the bench, but his playing time despite the double overtime game
never came close to the point guard the franchise is backing, Jordan Clarkson.
尽管是支一次次坦掉胜利的球队。洛杉矶湖人以123比118击败芝加哥公牛得到属于他们的
美好时光，林从板凳出发打得很好，但尽管是场两度进入延长赛的比赛，他的上场时间远
远比不上这支球队正支持着的控球后卫Clarkson。
This isn’t a competition. Lin isn’t the kind of player to sulk while his
team is winning. He’s cheering on players that are inferior to him but get
to play more than him. But it has to hurt somewhere that it has once again
happened to him, and he’s finding himself coming off the bench and playing
less minutes than another point guard who doesn’t deserve his current role.
In fact, Lin is benched because he’s the better player of the two.
这不是一场竞争。林不是那种当他的球队正在赢球时会生气的球员。他为那些比他差劲却
上场比他久的球员喝采。但再一次地，对他来说内心肯定有什么地方受伤了，他发现他从
板凳出发并且比另一个不应得他现在角色的控球后卫的上场时间还少。事实上，林被降为
替补是因为他是两个球员之中较好的那一个。
Not that Clarkson is doing badly. Without Kobe Bryant a huge shadow is lifted
off the team. Suddenly everything is quick, fast, almost fun. It’s not too
accurate or polished, but this team is better without the version of Bryant
they got on most nights. But that’s enough of the Bryant bashing. He’s
nothing but a cheerleader from now on, although his comments on Twitter or
through other media outlets will still have their consequences.
这并不是说Clarkson打得不好。没有了Bryant，笼罩在这支球队上的巨大阴影随风消逝。
突然之间，一切都变得敏捷、快速，甚至饶富趣味。这并不会太过夸大或润饰，但没有了
多数夜晚Bryant所带来的影响，这支球队是更好的。从现在开始他不过是个啦啦队长，尽
管他透过推特或其他媒体途径所发表的一些言论仍然有着它们的影响力。
The Bulls playing awful defense and the Lakers pushing the ball into the
paint worked well for them. Jordan Hill scored 26 points to go with 12
rebounds, Wayne Ellington finished with 23, making it 25.5 per game for him
in the last two. Carlos Boozer scored 16 points against his former team in
only 28 minutes and Clarkson, getting 43 minutes from Byron Scott, finished
with 18 points on 6-of-15 from the field, coming in for Lin with 4:03 left in
regulation and never leaving again.
公牛防守很糟，而湖人将球交入禁区看来很管用。Hill得到26分12板，Ellington以23分
收场，过去两场场均25.5分。Boo对上他的老东家在仅仅28分钟上场时间内得到16分，而
Clarkson，从Scott给的43分钟里，15投6中得到18分，在常规时间剩下4分3秒的时候取代
林上场，并且没再离开过。
Clarkson almost cost the Lakers the game. While he did make some shots, he
made plenty of mistakes that allowed the Bulls to complete their comeback and
force overtime. He bounced back in the second overtime but the Lakers seem to
be quite happy to see him go through the motions in crunch time and suffer
from his inexperience because it the long run it’ll get them a better,
higher draft pick and maybe somehow also polish a decent point guard for them.
Clarkson差点让湖人输掉这场比赛。尽管他的确投中一些球，他也犯了很多错误让公牛得
以完成追击并且将比赛逼入延长。他到了第二次延长赛才重新振作，但对于看到他撑过这
些危机时刻以及受他的缺乏经验所苦，湖人看起来似乎很高兴，因为长久下来这会让他们
得到一个更好更高顺位的选秀权，或许某种程度上也为他们擦亮了这个得体的控球后卫的
招牌。
Lin scored 11 points, adding five assists in 27 minutes of basketball. He had
good moments, he had a few that he’d like to forget. In the grand scheme of
things? His minutes are meaningless and irrelevant to the Lakers, clearly
showing they don’t see him as part of anything they’re trying to build. Try
being at your workplace with that sitting in the back of your head, knowing
you’re possibly the best player on this team which is exactly why you’re
being reduced into a bench player, and often taken out of games when things
are going too well.
林在27分钟内得到11分5助攻。他有过一些好的时刻，也有过一些他宁可忘记的时刻。总
体来说呢？他的上场时间对湖人来说是没有意义而且无关紧要的，清楚地显示了他们不把
他视为任何他们正试图重建的一部分。你靠着后脑勺坐着，试着融入你的工作环境，意识
到你可能是这支球队里最好的球员，而这正是你为什么被降为替补、以及总是在打得太好
的时候被换下来的原因。
翻译这篇文章纯粹只是分享 希望有心人士不要再解读成林迷黑队友
林不受重用 我认为跟队友真的没有太大关系
NBA有400多个球员 没有一个不是力争上游 希望成为球队的核心人物
在湖人正在重建的时空背景下 Clarkson得到了属于他的机会 衷心祝福他
我对林很有信心 现在的他不管是在球技或心态上 比起过去都更加成熟
他欠缺的就只是一个合适他的位置 让他把他的长处发挥出来
很多版友都会在推文里面提到“保持健康”
这真的很重要 也是这个球季我最希望林能做到的
赛季过了一半 林在这一点上做得非常好 希望他能继续保持下去
明天凌晨3点回麦迪逊广场花园对战尼克 祝福林有好表现!
