Jeremy Lin unchained: NBA discrimination could finally end with recent run
NBA的歧視可能在最近啾咪林的表現最後終於結束。

It started with James Harden sidelined, Chris Paul in town and Kevin McHale holding few other options. The Houston Rockets coach almost had to play Jeremy Lin heavy minutes. Lin — long discounted and downgraded — finally would be treated like a regular NBA starting point guard in Houston.
這發生於哈登受傷坐在板凳，CP3即將跟火箭對戰，冰箱沒有別的選項可以選擇下，火箭的教練不得不讓啾咪有大量的時間在場上奮戰，林–一直被削減上場時間，在球隊的地位一直被降級–在休士頓終於能獲得正常的NBA首發控衛的待遇。
Just like how Mike D’Antoni treated Lin for the few magical weeks that changed the underdog’s life last winter.
就像去年冬天丹東尼在那神奇改變了黑馬的一生的那幾週那樣對待林一樣。
To his credit, McHale hasn’t stopped since either. He’s given Lin at least 29 minutes of playing time in six straight games. His reward? The Rockets have cruised into the playoffs for the first time in four years, going 5-1 over that stretch to lock the Los Angeles Lakers and the Utah Jazz into their own two team death match.
冰箱因此已沒辦法停止(再板凳啾咪了)。他在連續六場比賽中給了林至少場均29分鐘。而他的回報呢？火箭在追逐四年來第一次進入季後賽的旅程中得到了五勝一負的成果，並成功的鎖定湖人及爵士必須搶奪季後的生死賽。
Lin’s averaged 17.8 points and 7.6 assists over this playoff clinch stretch, numbers he probably could have averaged for the season if he was guaranteed the type of playing time Harden and Chandler Parsons are. Those are awfully close to the type of numbers that elite point guards put up, of course.
林在這幾場季後賽爭奪戰中平均得到17.8分，7.6助攻，這是他如果被給予哈登及小錢相同的上場時間時，他可能可以得到的場均數據。這是幾近於頂極控衛所能得到的數據。
More than the stats, it’s the Lin moments that have steadied the Rockets playoff ship, even as Harden and Parsons have gone in and out of the lineup with injuries, though. It’s the cold-blooded, shot-clock-expiring 3-pointer he buried with two minutes left in Sacramento. It’s the dead-on shooting in that road rout of Portland. It’s the fearless drive to the rim off a scramble, the foul drawn and the two game-tying free throws against Phoenix Tuesday night.
而在數據以外隱含的意義呢，就是林可以穩定的幫助火箭搭上季後賽這班船，使得哈登及小錢有沒有因傷休息或在場上打球都沒有造成太大的影響。他在國王一役剩下兩分鐘時扔下了冷血的，鈴聲響起的最後三分球，在太陽一役，無所畏懼的突破進入籃框下投籃，得到了哨子並投進兩顆追平分數的罰球。
The Rockets never get the chance to clinch on the brilliant Harden’s “game-winning missed shot” — as CSN’s postgame voices memorably kept referring to the freakish Jermaine O’Neal goaltending call — without Lin putting his head down and driving the possession before. No one called that moment for Lin. He made it himself.
當CSN的賽後評論中持續的談論著那奇異的Jermaine O’Neal goaltending call(犯規)，沒有林在哈登那顆”game-winning missed shot”(決勝丟失球)之前低著頭努力的運球突破得到兩個罰球，火箭就沒有機會獲得勝利，沒有人期待林做到這樣事，他做到了。
On a night when he’d talk about having “a really off game” in the postgame.
而這是在當他在賽後訪談時談到他今天真的打了一場不好的比賽的一晚。

Lin’s NBA Reality

It turns out Jeremy Lin is still pretty clutch — even far removed from Linsanity. Maybe McHale’s realized this. Maybe he’s over his phase of leaning on the limited, but suddenly much celebrated Patrick Beverley over Lin late in the fourth quarter.
這告訴我們，啾咪林仍是關鍵球員，即使已跟Linsanity時間相差甚遠，也許冰箱知道這個，也許他認為林的表現超過他真實的狀況，所以第四節使用小貝的時間超過林(sorry!這一段的翻譯我不太確定)。
Six games is too small of a sample size to say for sure — especially with heavy minutes man Parsons having missed four of those games. But it’s an encouraging sign as the playoffs approach. Harden is the superstar who changed everything for the Rockets this season, but they have no chance of putting any kind of first round scare into Oklahoma City, San Antonio or Denver without Lin playing a major role.
當然六場比賽的範本有點太小了，特別是當獲得大量時間在場上的小錢錯過了四場比賽，但這對季後賽的比賽是個鼓勵的訊息，哈登他是本賽季為火箭帶來一切改變的巨星，但是如果沒有讓林在球場上擔任重要的角色的話，就沒有機會在季後賽首輪跟雷霆、馬刺或金塊對戰時帶來威脅。
In a week in which the 60 Minutes profile that detailed the discrimination Lin felt in the college recruiting process came out, the NBA discrimination he’s faced could finally be on its way to ending. And make no mistake, the tired belief that Lin really couldn’t be as good as he played in New York has always come back to stereotypes about Asians and basketball.
在本週的60分鐘採訪中清楚的描述林在大學招募球員的過程中他受到的種族歧視，而在NBA所遭受到的歧視可能最終會終結，沒錯，還是有人認為林真的沒辦法再像在紐約時打的一樣好的，是因為他是不擅於打籃球的亞洲人的刻板印象。

David Stern allowed for that possibility on Lin’s draft night. But it didn’t stop there. People who harp about Lin’s turnovers — while failing to recognize plays like that alley-oop in traffic to Greg Smith Wednesday night — don’t tend to make the same criticisms about other point guards.
史騰也同意林落選可能的原因在此，或許這個歧視仍未停止，人們總是嚴格的批評林的失誤(譯者註：就是冰箱…)，但是卻沒注意到林總是在擁擠的禁區中傳出漂亮的alley-oop給Greg Smith，而這些批評都不會出現在其他的控衛身上。
Someone might want to check out how the turnover numbers of the still-Houston-media-hyped, vastly-overrated point guard of a 23-55 Phoenix Suns team compare to Lin’s. If you think the Rockets would be better off with Goran Dragic rather than Jeremy Lin in the long run, you’re about as big a basketball deep thinker as Dick Vitale.
有人可能想去拿林的失誤數跟那個仍受到休士頓媒體炒作，嚴重的被高估的太陽隊控衛(只有23勝55負)比較，假如你認為以長期而言，火箭應持有Dragic而不是林，那麼你一定是跟籃球的沈思者Dick Vitale一樣有遠見。(註：Dick Vitale是籃球解說員，他以無厘頭言論著稱)
Lin’s now shown what he can do when not chained to the bench for long stretches of the fourth quarter. Rockets general manager Daryl Morey still rightly lusts after a second superstar, but that quest will play out in the offseason. For these playoffs, there is no doubt that Lin needs to be the secondary focus.
林現在已展示出他在第四節時不被綁在板凳上時，他能為球隊所帶來的正面效應，火箭總經理Morey仍然在為火箭招來第二位巨星，但這必須在休賽期才能做，而在這些即將到來的季後賽中，無疑的林必須成為球隊的第二個焦點。
The Rockets need both Harden and Lin attacking the rim to have a puncher’s chance. They need them both moving the basketball, making sure guys like Parsons and Smith get open shots.
火箭必須要靠哈登跟林攻擊籃框，移動球，確保小錢及Smith能有空位投籃。
It started with that win over the Clippers sans Harden, with McHale marveling at how well the ball moved. It carried over into this playoff clinch run. Now the Rockets coach has to make sure he doesn’t end it — and his team’s season — prematurely.
當哈登受傷，冰箱終於在贏得快艇一役時發現球的流動是如此美妙，這帶領著球隊進入季後賽，現在火箭的教練必須確保他不會停止它(球的流動)—以及他球隊的球季–過早的結束。
