Jeremy Lin Will Win 6th Man of the Year Award Sooner Than You Think
林書豪將比想像中更快成為年度最佳第六人

Linsanity is over.
林來瘋已經結束了。
In its wake roams Houston Rockets point guard Jeremy Lin, the basketball
player undoubtedly lesser than the hysteria that once surrounded him
during one exciting winter jaunt with the New York Knicks.
而自這股旋風中抽離的火箭隊控衛林書豪，
與那年冬天在紐約尼克，那曾圍繞著他而瘋狂的氛圍相比，
他現在無疑受到較少的關注。
But make no mistake: Lin is still darn good. In fact, he may even be
an award-winning baller—and sooner than you think.
但不要搞錯了，林仍然要命的好。
事實上，他甚至可能成為獲獎的球員，
而且是以比你預期更快。
Lin is in the mix for Sixth Man of the Year honors this season, as the
Rockets have favored Patrick Beverley as their starting point guard for
most of the year. But both guards are typically around to finish
games, especially close ones, and the two essentially average the
same minutes. Lin is clocking 30.9 per game, while Beverley is
at 31.8. The Rockets' best lineup is with Lin, Beverley, Terrence
Jones, Dwight Howard and Chandler Parsons, holding a .875 winning
percentage, good for ninth in the league.
因火箭今年多數的比賽，都傾向讓小貝先發，
林本季有可能獲得年度最佳第六人，
不過兩個人大多時間都會一起在場上完成比賽，
尤其是比賽終結比賽的時候，
兩人的平均上場時間也很接近。
林是30.9分鐘，而小貝則是31.8分鐘。
火箭場上最佳組合是林，小貝，TJ，魔獸以及CP。
勝率可以到達0.875，在聯盟排名第九。
More importantly, the Rockets have come to rely quite heavily on Lin.
The team has been smart enough to identify what seems to be his
lasting role in the NBA. He’s a microwave man, providing the
necessary extra firepower just when the opposition think they’ve got a
handle on Houston’s full-court attack.
更重要的是，火箭越來越依賴林。
他們夠聰明，知道該把林放在怎樣的定位。
他是隨插即用型的球員，
當對手封阻了火箭隊的進攻時，
他可以適時提供所需的火力。
（林不是一向是慢熱嗎 ??）
With Lin, the Rockets transcend mere potency. They become
relentless. While less powerful than superstar teammate James
Harden, Lin’s slashing is similar enough to Harden’s to consistently
give defenses fits. He’s often the straw that breaks the enemy's back.
有林在場，火箭進攻更具威脅性，趨近於殺手級。
即使林在場的威力，小於隊友超級球星哈登，
但哈登在防守上的缺失，常常讓火箭無法反擊敵手。
而這兩相均衡之下，其實差異不大。
But this is not the sole line of reasoning for why Lin will almost
inevitably receive the award. Plenty of NBA reserve guards supply the
same spark in similar quantity—J.R. Smith, Jarrett Jack, Mo Williams,
Reggie Jackson, Marco Belinelli and even the resurgent D.J. Augustin
are just some of the current equivalents to what Lin offers.
但這並不是林很有機會拿到第六人的原因。
聯盟當中有許多球員也可以在場上有如此亮眼的表現，
像是JR, ack, Mo Williams, Reggie Jackson, Marco Belinelli
甚至是D.J. Augustin
都可以在場上和林一樣的表現。
Rather, Lin’s narrative is one that’s all too compelling.
而是，林的故事實在是太吸引人了。
And like all awards, Sixth Man honors are highly driven by their
stories. They’re selected by journalists who weave a sort of
sociological afghan for a profession, not by stats-crashers and talent
appraisers who scrutinize a player's every move.
第六人的獎項和其他獎項相同，球員的故事佔了能否得獎的極大因素。
這些獎項是由來自不同領域的記者所選出，
並非是研究球員每個動作的數據派，或是能力分析派。
Lin, in this light, is a prime candidate.
林身在聚光燈下，當然是有力的候選人之一。
Whether it’s this year, next or in a later season, the media will not be
able to resist the redemption tale implicit in giving him this trophy.
There’s a ready made barrage of nostalgic treatises for when Lin is
dubbed the very best reserve in basketball.
不論是本季，下季或是再下季，
媒體們很難不因他的故事，而給予他這個獎項，
當林在聯盟展露頭角之時，他的故事早已為他打下了獲獎基礎。
In other words: Linsanity may be over, but we haven't forgotten what
it did to our hearts. Lin is unlikely to ever capture our attention the
way he did in 2012, but his sudden Big Apple blaze was a system
shock to the image of the league. It’s a coming-of-age piece unlike
any we’ve seen in years—one fit for a retrospective.
換句話說，林來瘋也許已經結束，
但我們無法將它從內心抹去。
林永遠無法再以2012年的那種方式，吸引大家的注意力，
但他突然在紐約所燃起的熊熊烈焰，燃燒了整個聯盟。
林來瘋是大家前所未見，回想起來總是別有一番滋味在心頭。
Which is not to say that Lin’s singular circumstances (which really
means his race, if we’re to look down the eyes of the elephant in the
room) give him an unfair edge over the competition.
這不是說林的特殊背景，而讓他擁有較多的優勢。
（我指的是他的膚色，如果我們想要避談這個敏感議題的話）
One day, there had never been an Asian-American in the NBA. The
next, Lin was the king of the highlight reel. This twist carries weight,
of course.
曾經，NBA聯盟將沒有任何亞裔的球員。
而林的出現接著，所有目光都投射在他身上。
這樣的轉折理所當然帶來了關注。
But Lin’s story is about more than that—I personally will never forget
the image of him sleeping on a teammate’s couch mere hours after
lighting Manhattan on fire, a rare rags-to-riches wrinkle that has
nothing to do with ethnicity.
但林的故事並不僅僅於此。
對我個人來說，我永遠不會忘記，
即使他讓整個曼哈頓為他瘋狂，他還是睡在隊友的沙發上
從無民小卒到一夜成名，並非是因為他的膚色而已。
And he’s deserving of the award, anyway. If he’s already in the
conversation for it, his glitzy biography is sure to help him receive it in
time. Among the slew of worthy recipients, Lin is arguably the best
right now, and he could very well remain so for seasons to
come—provided he remains a reserve and not a starter.
無論如何，他值得這個獎項。
如果他已經在候選名單內，他傳奇的故事對獲獎加分不少，
在獲獎的人選之內，目前將林評為最佳人選，無疑是具有爭議性的。
但他如果能繼續以後補而非先發上場比賽，
本季接下來的表現一定十分優異。
（但我私心還是希望林先發，並且可以控球組織。）
It’s only a matter of when the lore of the league decides that Lin
should be given another moment.
而現在只關乎聯盟的智慧，讓林能有再一次發光的時刻。

我的想法和D大很靠近
因為現在吃了秤砣鐵了心把林放替補
看了整季我現在都麻木了
那順勢拿個獎也還不錯
