Kevin說…

話說昨天第四節火箭沒有主場優勢，有幾球都被裁判黑掉，導致輸了灰熊4分，不過我相信世界是公平的，因為今天灰熊對上快艇時，第四節也沒有主場優勢，一個關鍵的卡位防守，裁判沒吹快艇犯規，反而將球權判給快艇，最後灰熊就以4分之差敗北，我只能說出來混的遲早都要還，看了就很開心

  

在今天沒有比賽的時間裡，就送上熱騰騰的翻譯文，跟大家分享 !

Why Jeremy Lin Will Be the Key to Houston Rockets’ Postseason Success
為什麼JLIN是火箭隊季後賽成功的關鍵

Point guard Jeremy Lin is the key to the success of the Houston Rockets in the 2012-13 playoffs—period.
控球後衛JLIN是休士頓火箭隊在2012-13季後賽期間的關鍵。

Anyone who tries to tell you that James Harden, Chandler Parsons or Omer Asik is that player is unfortunately incorrect. Harden will continue to score—it’s the biggest part of his game. Parsons is a stat sheet filler, and there’s no reason why we should think he won’t continue. Asik is a monster in the paint (both on offense and when grabbing rebounds), and his physical play will translate right over to the postseason.
遺憾的是，那些人想要舉例其他人像是James Harden, Chandler Parsons 或者是Omer Asik是不正確的。Harden將會不斷得分 – 那是他在比賽中最大部分的事。Parsons是數據上的填充者，沒有理由我們認為他不會持續這樣的表現。Asik在禁區是一個野獸(在進攻端和搶籃板時)，並且，他在禁區身體對抗的打法再轉化到季後賽是很正確的。

All these guys are important, but Lin’s performance is crucial. Whether it be because of coaching decisions or sheer inconsistency, sometimes we don’t know what we’re going to get from Lin on a nightly basis. That’s why Lin stepping up is key.
每一位球員都很重要，但是JLIN的表現才是極為重要。他是否會因為教練的不一致的決定而造成不穩定的表現，有時候我們不知道在一個比賽夜裡在JLIN身上得到什麼。這就是為什麼我們說JLIN穩定上升表現是很關鍵的。

Kevin McHale has handled Lin interestingly this season. First off, he prefers Harden to handle the ball most of the time. Harden’s USG (usage rate) this season is 28.73 percent. Lin’s is a paltry 20.36, barely above the league average of 18.79.
Kevin McHale在這一季對待JLIN有一個有趣的現象。首先，他偏愛Harden在大多數的時間持球，Harden的進攻比例(USG)在這一季是28.73%，JLIN只有20.36%，只是略高於聯盟平均的數據18.79%。

This suggests that Harden is not only the focal point of the scoring offense, but also the main distributor. If Lin is the point guard, then he needs to be given the ball more. He doesn’t need to score more, but he most certainly needs to take control of his offense. Lin has shown that he can orchestrate the offense when given the opportunities.
這就說明Harden不僅是進攻的主要得分者，也是主要的球權的支配者。如果JLIN是控球後衛，他需要更多的持球時間。他不需要太多的得分，但是他需要更多掌控進攻節奏的機會。當機會創造出來時，JLIN已經展現他的價值，他可以精心策動進攻的能力。

McHale has also given Lin inconsistent minutes
McHale同樣給予JLIN不穩定的上場時間。

Fourth quarters often go by with Lin on the bench for a good portion of the period. Patrick Beverley plays the point instead, which is baffling. Beverley, a good defender and solid bench guy in his own right, should not be on the court in tight situations late in the fourth quarter.
在過去的某個階段，可以看到JLIN在第四節一分一秒過去時，依舊坐在板凳上。令人困惑的是，這個關鍵時刻Patrick Beverley取代了JLIN留在場上。Beverley是一位出色的防守者，本身也是值得信賴的替補球員，但是不應該在第四節緊要關頭還留在場上。

Lin is the far superior player and has shown instances of being a clutch performer in the past. McHale needs to give Lin more minutes in the final period. That will more than likely occur now that playoff rotations should be tightening up, but we’ll have to wait until Game 1 of the first round to find that out.
而JLIN是一位更優秀的球員，並且，他在過去已經展現出在第四節關鍵時刻，處理關鍵球的強心臟表現。McHale需要在最後階段給予JLIN更多上場時間。這樣的表現有可能在季後賽發生，所以調度方面需要再次上緊發條，但是我們需要在季後賽第一輪來驗證。

Even without the ball in his hands as often as it should be, Lin’s energy and hustle are what make him so important. He’s an above-average off-ball player (though he’s not in the same league as Richard Hamilton), and his hustle results in many Rockets baskets.
即使沒有球在手上，通常都是這種請況，JLIN的能量和衝搶球的拚勁也是相當重要。他是一位高於平均水準的無球的球員(即使不是聯盟裡的Richard Hamilton)，同時他的拚勁，會造成火箭隊投籃的關鍵。

When the ball is in his hands, he’s a very good orchestrator. He’s averaging 6.1 assists per game, as well as a 38.9 AST% (assist percentage).
當他持球時，他是一位非常優異的指揮官。他平均每場有6.1次助攻和38.9%受助攻比例(AST%)。

There’s one caveat with his AST%, though. The league average is 61.2 percent. This advanced statistic measures what percentage of his team’s baskets a player assists on when he’s on the court. Because Lin plays a majority of his minutes alongside Harden (who commands the ball and has an AST% of 29.9), his AST% is deceiving. He’s much better than it indicates.
這裡有對受助攻比例(AST%)做一個解釋，計算一個球員,在場上的時間助攻給其他的球員的投球命中率,與全隊當時命中率做評估，現在聯盟的平均受助攻比例為61.2%。因為JLIN上場時間多數和Harden在一起(他是主要持球者，助攻比例為29.9%)，所以他的助攻比例是被蒙蔽的，他的實際狀況比數據上好很多。

Lin also has the valuable ability of putting his head down and driving into the lane. He has the uncanny ability of going up strong and controlling his body while in the air, resulting in trips to the free-throw line and easy baskets for his team. He’s shooting 78.8 percent from the charity stripe this season.
JLIN有優異的衝擊籃框和撕裂對方防線的能力，更不可思議的是在空中時能夠控制身體的平衡和抵抗身體碰撞，導致對手送他上罰球線和給予隊友更輕鬆的投籃機會。他這個賽季的罰球命中率為78.8%。

The Rockets need Lin to be huge in the playoffs.
火箭隊需要JLIN在季後賽做出重大的貢獻。

Houston faces a tough first-round opponent whether or not it passes the Golden State Warriors in the standings for the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference. As the No. 7 seed (if the season ended today), the San Antonio Spurs would be its opponent. As the No. 6 seed, it would be the Denver Nuggets.
無論是否戰績超越金洲勇士隊在西區保持排名第六名，那就可能面對丹佛金塊隊，或是在第七名(如果常規賽在今天結束)，將面對聖安東尼馬刺隊。休士頓火箭隊在季後賽第一輪面對的都是強勁的對手。

Both teams have high-energy point guards in Tony Parker and Ty Lawson, respectively, and Lin will need to match their level of play if the Rockets wish to compete.
這兩隊都擁有頂尖控球後衛Tony Parker和Ty Lawson，若火箭隊想要分別和他們競爭，JLIN將必須展現相對應的實力。

Expecting 20-plus points per game from the third-year guard is unfair, but 15-plus points and eight-plus assists are numbers that are easily attainable. With those numbers, Houston stands a much better chance of defeating its opponent, whoever it may be.
期待一位只有三年NBA經驗的控球後衛場均有20分以上的表現是不公平的，但是15分和8助攻的數據是比較容易達到的。若JLIN能達到這些數據，無論對手是誰，火箭隊就有更多的機會擊敗他。

Lin has played very well over his last five games, so those numbers may even be the low point of expectations if he keeps this up. He’s scoring 18.4 points, dishing out 8.6 assists and even grabbing 2.2 rebounds per game in the past five contests. With him hot entering the playoffs, the Rockets become that much scarier of a team.
JLIN在過去5場比賽有非常亮眼的表現，如果他持續保持這個狀態，以上的數據可能被低估了。他在過去5場比賽場均得分為18.4分，8.6次助攻和2.2個籃板。他出色的表現，會讓火箭在季後賽變得更加可怕。

Their offense is tops in the NBA at 106.18 points per game. Throw in a productive Lin (while keeping everyone else’s numbers the same), and the Rockets can reasonably score around 110 points per game. Even with their suspect defense, that’s difficult to beat.
火箭隊每場比賽進攻平均可以來到106.18分，在聯盟排名第一。如果能有效使用JLIN（其它的數據保持不變），火箭可以場均合理的達到110分。即使這樣，就算不信任他們的防守，也是非常困難擊敗的。

Without Lin performing at the highest level possible, there’s not much of a chance Houston advances to the second round.
若是沒有JLIN高水準的表現，休士頓火箭隊將沒有機會晉級到第二輪。
