你認為休士頓的粉絲會如何評估林書豪的本季表現?I think Jeremy has plenty of support among the Houston fan base, but when you’re in the

limelight like he is, there will be opinions of ALL sorts. Fans in Houston all want him to do well, but I’m sure along with the supporters, there are detractors as well, just like in the rest of his career. Basically, some will realize the reality of the situation, that Jeremy improved consistently as the year went on in his first season in the Rockets’ system and adjusting to playing off the ball.  I think rational fans realize his playoff performance can’t really be graded fairly given his injury. Of course, not every fan thinks this way. There are some who are disappointed that he didn’t have Linsanity-like numbers. However, I think most fans in Houston liked his improvement and are looking to better things ahead. This first year was just the beginning.

我認為書豪在休士頓粉絲基礎中有著大量的支持，但當你像他一樣身處在聚光燈之下，就會有「各式各樣的」意見想法。休士頓的粉絲都希望他好，但我確信當有一些支持者時，就會有誹謗者，就像在他職業生涯中的其他時刻。基本上，部分的人會認知到情況的真相，就是書豪在火箭體系的第一個賽季，他隨著時間持續地進步、去適應無球打法。我想理性的粉絲會理解，在他受傷的情形下去評分他季後賽的表現是不公平的。當然，不是每個粉絲都這樣想。有些人會因為他沒有林來瘋數據而失望。無論如何，大部分休士頓的粉絲喜歡他的進步，並期待更好的事情發生。第一年只是開始。How would you evaluate Lin’s play this season?
你會怎麼評價林今年的表現?

This was an adjustment for him to play off the ball. His first month was a little rough, but he knew what he needed to work on and he worked hard. Come April, his outside shot had become much more consistent, he was playing solid defense, and he was playing at a consistently high level. His playoff performance was not what he wanted. Even though he himself will not use injury as an excuse, any rational fan can see that it limited him. There’s still room to improve, but I can picture Lin working his tail off in the offseason and coming back next season much improved. I see a consistent upward trend in his future numbers.

無球打法讓他需要去適應。他的第一個月表現不太好，但他知道他需要進步甚麼而他非常努力。到四月，他的投射變得更連貫(outside shot?)，他的防守十分穩固，而他連續地打出高水準表現。他季後賽的表現不是他想要的。儘管他自己不會用受傷當作藉口，任何一個理性的粉絲都可以看出受傷限制了他。他仍有進步空間，但我可以想像他休賽期會盡全部的努力，下賽季回來時會有很大的進步。我可以看見他未來的數字會持續地上升。

How did fans in Houston react to Lin’s interview on 60 Minutes in which he said race has played a factor throughout his basketball career?

60分鐘訪談中他提到種族性在他籃球生涯中扮演的影響，休士頓粉絲怎麼看待?

I don’t think Houston fans reacted to the interview any differently than fans across the nation. Jeremy’s reputation in Houston is of someone who is extremely gracious, courteous, humble, and altruistic. The topic of race did not change any of this. I think 60 Minutes clearly wanted race to be their selling point in getting eyeballs and getting attention. It got the attention. For us Asian Americans, it was something we already knew and that we understood, so no big deal. The fact of the matter is that not everybody quite understands Jeremy’s viewpoint, so of course, when it gets brought up, some people are going to disagree. Perfectly natural. Houston or elsewhere.

我不認為休士頓粉絲對60分鐘訪談，會和其他地區粉絲的反應有所不同。林書豪在休士頓的名聲是一個極度感恩的、有禮的、謙虛的、奉獻的。種族的議題不會改變這點。我認為60分鐘明顯地想要種族議題成為賣點、吸引注意力。它得到了注意。對我們亞裔美國人，這是我們早就知道並了解的，所以沒甚麼大不了。但重要的是，不是每個人都了解林書豪的觀點，當然，當它被提起的時候，有些人會去反駁。很自然的。在休士頓或任何其他地方都是這樣。
註：林的觀點是甚麼?!

The nationwide phenomenon of Linsanity has died down, but is Linsanity still in Houston?

全國性的林來瘋現象已經消失，但林來瘋然在休士頓上演嗎?

I think people here are looking more for what’s beyond Linsanity. That said, Jeremy’s fans are definitely really, really into him and really, really supportive, regardless if they’re from Houston or in Taiwan or wherever. They really are everywhere. Lin fans are definitely present at the Toyota Center on Rockets’ game nights.

我認為人們想看到更多是林來瘋背後的。意思是，林書豪的粉絲絕對是真的、真的喜愛他，而且真的、真的支持他，不論他們來自休士頓或是台灣、或是任何地方。他們在世界各處。林書豪的粉絲就在豐田中心、在火箭隊的比賽當晚。

How does Jeremy Lin feel about his season this year in Houston?

林書豪自己對於他在休士頓這一年的這個賽季有甚麼感覺?

I think he feels like he improved this year, but that more improvement is needed. He was definitely not happy with his playoff performance and that’s fueling his fire for the offseason.

我認為他覺得他今年進步了，但仍有更多需要進步的。他絕對不高興他在季後賽的表現，這燃起他在休賽期的火力。

Under what scenario, if any, do you see the Rockets trading Lin before next season?

如果有，任何一種情況下，你會認為休士頓會在下季之前交易掉林?

Never say never, but if the Rockets’ point-guard mix is Lin and Patrick Beverley, I really don’t see the Rockets trading Lin. And before next season? Heck no.

永遠都有可能性，但如果火箭的控衛組合士林和貝佛利，我真的不認為火箭會交易林。在下一季之前?絕不。

What is it like for you as a Taiwanese American to cover Jeremy Lin?

做為一個台裔美國人去採訪林書豪感覺是怎麼樣？

Every day that I drive by the former Summit (where the Rockets used to play) on the way to Rockets’ practice or shootaround, I realize how blessed I am. I’m covering the team I loved as a kid. I’m covering a guy we Asian Americans definitely look to as a role model for shattering stereotypes and proving that dreams can be achieved. Things worked out. It took a lot of time and sacrifice to get here, but dang, it’s worth it.

每天我從先前的summit(火箭以前打球的地方)開車去火箭練習或投籃訓練的路上，我發現我是多麼地感激。我在訪問一個我當作是自己孩子的隊伍。我在訪問一個我們亞裔美國人絕對看待為模範，他打擊刻板印象、證明夢想可以被達成。事情明朗了。這花了許多時間和犧牲達到這裡，但見鬼了，這值得。

What type of season will Lin have next season?

林的下個賽季會是什麼樣的賽季？

I think his averages will see a decent bump. I expect to see an improved Jeremy Lin fom the beginning of camp. I think Jeremy expects the same from himself.

我認為他的平均(數據)會跳高一大截。我期待在一開始的訓練營就看到一個進步的林書豪。我想林書豪也是這麼期許自己的。
