Jeremy Lin依旧被低估

underrated
Written by Nick Agar-Johnson (@NBAJohnson) on 17 March 2017
Jeremy Lin did not receive a single Division I college scholarship to play
basketball. It sounds ridiculous in hindsight, but Lin has flown under
the radar since long before his Linsanity days. Despite being named to
California's First Team All-State, no Division I school thought he was
worth any more consideration than as a potential walk-on.
很可笑的是尽管已入选加州第一队的Lin,后来仍旧没有收到任何一级大学篮球奖学金
的青睐.
Lin instead went to Harvard (a school without athletic scholarships) and
excelled in every facet of the game. After being named to the Second Team
All-Ivy League as a sophomore, he caught fire in his junior year. Lin was
10th or better in the Ivy League in scoring (third), rebounding (10th),
assists (second), steals (first), field goal percentage (sixth), free
throw percentage (ninth), and three-point percentage (eighth). He also
was 11th in blocks per game, and easily made First Team All-Ivy League.
Lin后来去了没有奖学金的哈佛,在大二时入选了全美常春藤联盟第二队,大三那年火
力全开.后来自然地入选了联盟第一队.
Lin received another First Team All-Ivy nod as a senior and was one of the
11 finalists for the Bob Cousy Award for best college point guard. Lin
played fantastic basketball in the two biggest games of his college
career, leading Harvard to an upset win over #17 Boston College as a
junior with 27 points, eight assists, and six rebounds and nearly leading
the team to victory over the #12 Connecticut Huskies while putting up 30
points and nine rebounds.
Lin在大四那年再度入选了常春藤联盟第一队,并成为Bob Cousy最佳大学控卫奖项11
个最终入围者之一.Lin的两场最令人称道的比赛,大三那年以27分8助6板带领哈佛打
败排行17的波士顿学院(注:三天之前,波士顿学院才刚打败过排行第1的北卡大,这也
是哈佛史上第一次打败排行榜上的球队),在大四那年以30分9板差点打掉排名12的康
大.
Overlooked in the NBA
在NBA中被忽视
Once again, however, Lin was overlooked by everyone at the next level. He
went undrafted after his senior season but secured a contract with the
Golden State Warriors after showcasing an effective floor game for the
Dallas Mavericks in the 2010 Summer League. Lin played 29 games for the
Warriors in 2010-2011 in between D-League stints with the Reno Bighorns
before being waived in the offseason.
然而,在选秀中Lin再次地被无视,但后来2010年的夏季联赛中,对上小牛队的高效的
表现,让他拿到了勇士队的合约.在2010-11的季后被释出前,总共为勇士出赛了29场.
Lin was signed by the Houston Rockets on December 12, 2011, only to be
waived shortly afterward without playing in a single game. He was signed
by the Knicks on December 27 but played only 55 minutes prior to February
4. Out of desperation, the Knicks were forced to start Lin because
basically all of their other guards were injured. He put up 25 points,
seven assists, and five rebounds, and started the Linsanity craze that
captivated the nation.
Lin在2011年12月12日被火箭队签下,但后来就很快的被释出.他后来在12月27日被尼
克队签下,但在二月四号前总共只打了55分钟.在所有的后卫都受伤的情况之下,尼克
队被迫让Lin先发.他拿下了25分7助攻5个篮板,从这开启了大家耳熟能详的林来疯.
Still, the Knicks allowed him to go to the Houston Rockets in free agency.
This was Lin's second stint in Houston, and he started all 82 games in his
first full season as a member of the Rockets. Although he was not as
successful as he was in New York, Lin was still a more than capable
starter for a Houston team that made the playoffs.
不过,尼克队允许他以自由球员的身份去火箭队.回锅火箭的Lin在休斯顿的第一个赛
季先发了82场.尽管他表现没有像是在纽约那样成功,以进入季后的火箭队来讲,Lin的
表现算是超过了合格先发的标准.
Daryl Morey spoke about Jeremy Lin in part of his interview with Michael
Lewis for Lewis' most recent book "The Undoing Project" and was shockingly
candid about his views on Lin's abilities: "He lit up our model," said
Morey. "Our model said take him with, like, the 15th pick in the draft. A
year after the Houston Rockets failed to draft Jeremy Lin, they began to
measure the speed of a player’s first two steps: Jeremy Lin had the
quickest first move of any player measured. He was explosive and was able
to change direction far more quickly than most NBA players. "He’s
incredibly athletic," said Morey. "But the reality is that every person,
including me, thought he was unathletic."
Morey在接受Michael Lewis新书"The Undoing Project"采访时,对Lin的能力的表示
感到震惊:"他摧毁了我们的分析模型"."我们的结论把他排在15顺位",后来火箭没选
他之后的一年,他们开始量测球员头两步的速度:Lin是所有测试过的球员中最快的,
"充满著爆炸性地并能比大多数NBA球员能更快地改变方向.他的运动能力非常好,"
Morey说,"但现实是,包括我在内的每个人都认为他没啥运动力."
Lin spent a fruitless year in Los Angeles for the Lakers after the Rockets
effectively traded him to unload salary. He signed a two-year deal with
the Charlotte Hornets for $4.2 million, with the goal of rehabilitating
his value around the league. Charlotte quickly realized that they had
found a bargain.
在火箭有效率地交易他后,Lin在湖人浪掷了一年.为了恢复他的身价,他以420万跟黄
蜂签了两年合约.夏洛特很快意识到他们挖掘到了一个超值商品.
Hornets Before and After Lin
黄蜂加入林之前与之后
The Charlotte Hornets were supposed to be a bad team last season. The
Westgate book in Las Vegas set the over-under for their wins total at 32.5
prior to the start of the season. They were expected to win with their
defense, but star defender Michael Kidd-Gilchrist played in only seven
games. Courtney Lee, another solid defensive piece, played just 28 games
in Charlotte.
黄蜂队上季应该算是一个烂队.拉斯维加斯在赛季前预测他们的胜场为32.5.他们被预
期赢在防守,但明星大锁MKG却只出赛7场.另外一个防守不错的Lee也只出赛了28场.
Instead of falling apart, the Hornets shocked the league by going 48-34
and finishing in a four-way tie for third place. Everyone heaped praise on
the star backcourt of Kemba Walker and Nicolas Batum and lauded the
bounce-back season from Marvin Williams.
然而,不但黄蜂没有崩溃,反而是以48胜34败跟其他四队并列第3名.每个人都对Walker
和Batum的明星后场的组合赞誉有佳,并称许了Williams的开低走高的表现.
Jeremy Lin might not have received as many accolades as those three, but
he nonetheless was a huge factor in Charlotte's success last season. He
had a Net Rating of 2.7 — better than every bench player on the roster
besides Jeremy Lamb and Al Jefferson per NBA.com. His Defensive Rating of
100.4 was also better than the team's overall mark of 101.8 despite
playing many of his minutes with Jefferson, a notoriously bad defender.
Lin allowed 0.878 points per possession last season per Synergy Sports,
exactly league average.
Lin可能没有如那三位主力收到如此般的赞赏,但他仍然是夏洛特上个赛季成功的一个
重要因素.他的净指数为2.7分,除了Lamb和Jefferson外,优于其他板凳球员.尽管他跟
Jefferson（一个出了名的糟透的防守者）一起上场打了很多时间，他的防御指数也
达到了100.4分,比起上季全队的101.8分好.他在对手每一个持球时只允许了对方平均
拿到0.878分(这是联盟的平均值).
Lin led a Charlotte bench that was 9th in the NBA in scoring in 2015-2016.
Whether he was playing with starters or bench units, he used the explosive
speed that Daryl Morey discussed to drive to the rim. Once he sliced his
way through the defense, he could score effectively or find teammates
cutting to the rim through the space Lin had created:
Lin带领着夏洛特板凳群,在总得分上在2015-16赛季获得第九名.无论是在跟先发或是
板凳出赛,他都用Morey所提到的爆炸性的速度切到篮下.一旦他穿过防守,他可以有效
地得分,或者找到透过Lin所创造的空间的队友:

Lin opted out of the second year of his contract in Charlotte to sign a
bigger deal with the Nets as a presumed starter. Charlotte has not been
the same since his departure. Despite Kidd-Gilchrist returning to the
lineup and Kemba Walker making the leap to All-Star status, the Hornets
are just 29-39 in 2016-2017.
Lin选择跳出第二年的合约,与篮网签了一个更大的合约,并成为预定的先发.夏洛特从
他离开以来就一直不顺隧.尽管MKG回到阵容,Walker并入选为明星球员,但黄蜂在2016
-17球季中仅获得29胜39败.
Although Cody Zeller's absence for much of the season damaged their big
man rotation, the biggest issue for Charlotte this season might be their
backup point guard rotation. Ramon Sessions, signed to replace Lin, is
shooting 38% from the floor. Brian Roberts has somehow been worse,
shooting 36% from the floor. The Hornets have a 2.7 Net Rating with Kemba
Walker on the floor but a disastrous -6.8 Net Rating with him on the
bench. While Briante Weber has been effective in his limited minutes thus
far in Charlotte, the team overall suffers dramatically when a backup
point guard enters the game. The team played just as well with Jeremy Lin
on the floor last year as they have with Kemba Walker on the floor this
year, but somehow Lin's name rarely (if ever) comes up when discussing
Charlotte's fall from grace.
尽管Zeller的缺席了伤害了队中长人的轮替,但夏洛特本季最大的问题可能还是他们
的替补控卫.取代林的Sessions投篮只有38%.Roberts某种程度上更糟糕,只投出36%.
黄蜂有Walker在场上时有2.7净指数,但在他下场后却是灾难性的-6.8的净指数。尽
管Weber在夏洛特在有限的时间里相当的有效率,当替补控卫进入比赛时,球队马上戏
剧性变成另一个层级的球队,去年这只有Lin在场时的球队时丝豪不逊于有Walker在
场上的时候,但是Lin的名字总是若有似无出现在夏洛特的的论功行赏.
Brooklyn With and Without Lin
布鲁克林有与无林
The Brooklyn Nets are 7-16 this season with Jeremy Lin in the lineup,
equivalent to a 25-win team in 82 games. Without Lin, they are just 6-38,
which would be equivalent to an 11 win team if projected out to an
82-game season. The Nets are 4-7 since the All-Star break when Lin
returned from his second hamstring injury.
这个赛季当有Lin的时候篮网是7胜16败,相当于在82场比赛中有一个25胜的队伍.没
有林,他们只有6胜38败,这相当于一个11胜的球队.自从明星赛后第二次腿伤恢复后
,篮网4胜7败.
While Isaiah Whitehead has been surprisingly solid for a second round
rookie and Spencer Dinwiddie has been a success, neither of them is
anywhere near as effective as Lin is at running the offense.
以二轮新秀来说Whitehead已然出色,Dinwiddie也获致相当的成功,但他们任何一个
在进攻组织上还是远远不及Lin的有效率.
The Nets had hoped to form a killer pick-and-roll tandem with Lin and
Brook Lopez. So far, Lin has lived up to his end of the bargain when
healthy. 43.2% of his possession come as the pick-and-roll ball handler
per Synergy Sports, and he is in the 85th percentile in pick-and-roll
scoring. Brook Lopez adding a three-point shot has made the duo even
more deadly, as Lin is in the 95th percentile on high pick-and-rolls and
is averaging 1.25 points per possession on those plays per Synergy
Sports. Lin's quickness allows him to dart through the small windows of
space that Lopez generates with his screens:
篮网队希望与Lin跟Lopez组一个挡拆的杀手团队.到目前为止,当林健康时他有表现
出他的身价.43.2%中来自于他是挡拆的持球者,在挡拆得分之中他是85%的领先群.
有了Lopez新加入三分火砲的武器,使得这二人组更加致命,因为Lin在高位挡拆为排
名领先群的95%,(在执行挡拆时)平均每持球中可得1.25分.Lin的速度让他能够藉
由Lopez的挡人穿入极小的的空间：

If Lin cannot score himself on those drives, he can kick out to Lopez
when he pops out behind the arc:
如果林在切入时不能自行得分，那么他会把球传给三分线外的Lopez：
https://streamable.com/64ksn
Lin's impact on Brook Lopez's offensive game is almost impossible to
understate. His ability to effectively drive the lane forces defenses
to collapse on Lin instead of double-teaming Lopez. Prior to Thursday's
win over the Knicks, Brook Lopez had a True Shooting Percentage of
62.9% with Jeremy Lin on the floor but a True Shooting Percentage of
just 57% with Lin out.
林的对Lopez进攻上的冲击是在所难言的.他切入禁区的能力有效地逼迫着防守者包夹
他,而不是去包夹Lopez.在星期四赢尼克队之前,在有Lin的时候,Lopez的命中率为
62.9%,而Lin在场下时他的命中率只有57%.
In addition to boosting the Nets' offense, Jeremy Lin has been a stalwart
on defense this season. Although he has a tendency to get caught on
screens, his speed allows him to hang with most point guards and his
solid 6'3" frame makes him hard to shoot over and hard to push out of
position. Lin ranks in the 85th percentile on defense this season per
Synergy Sports, despite playing for a Nets team that is third to last in
Defensive Rating per NBA.com.
除了提升篮网的进攻之外,Lin本赛季防守一向是很坚固.虽然他有一个被挡拆挡到的
倾向,但他的速度总是能让他紧跟的大多数的控卫,他的6'3“的体格让他很难直接在面
前被射篮跟碾过,Lin的防守在本季排在前85%,尽管篮网的防守是全联盟倒数第三名.
The play of the Charlotte Hornets without Jeremy Lin this season, combined
with his massive impact on the Nets this season, indicate that Jeremy Lin
is an incredibly important factor in his team's success. While Charlotte's
downturn cannot be entirely attributed to Lin's absence, his numbers in
Brooklyn show that he is arguably worth 10 wins on his own.
综合本赛季黄蜂队没有林书豪的表现,加上本赛季他对篮网队的巨大冲击,在在的表现
Lin是球队成功的一个非常惊人的因素.虽然夏洛特的衰退不能完全归因于Lin的离队,
但他在布鲁克林的数字显示,他自己可以值得10胜.
Jeremy Lin might never recapture the lightning-in-a-bottle performances
from his Linsanity days with the Knicks. Ironically enough, however, that
magical run may contribute to why he is so underrated today. People are
disappointed with anything less than his incredible hot streak in New
York, so they dismiss the remarkable impact that he has had on the team
across the East River in Brooklyn.
Lin可能永远不会再演出如在尼克队时的林来疯.然而,讽刺的是,那个奇蹟可能是导致
他今天如此被低估的原因.任何不如林来疯的表现,人们是不会满足的,所以他们完全
蔑视了他对布鲁克林的极为显著的影响.
Then again, people might simply be underrating Jeremy Lin because he is
Jeremy Lin. After all, this would not be the first time that people failed
to appreciate his basketball brilliance.
再一次地,人们还是轻易的就忽视他,因为他是Lin.反正这并不是第一次人们无法欣赏
他篮球的卓越.
