Hopeful He Had Found a Home in LA, Jeremy Lin Again Left Looking for Answers By Kevin Ding , NBA Senior Writer Dec 8, 2014 希望他在LA找到家，Lin又再一次出发去寻找答案 http://ppt.cc/g2lg LOS ANGELES — Jeremy Lin, backup point guard, threw the hoodie up and over his head and headed out of Staples Center late Sunday night undercover. After saying before the season he was OK whether he started or didn't, Lin had just admitted to reporters he totally cares now that he's again not starting—even though he gave the impression he was OK about not starting while in Byron Scott's office Sunday morning. It is a cycle of confusion that continues for Lin in a disappointing first Los Angeles Lakers season he hoped would bring the stability he has long sought. Thing is, it's not just a starter-or-reserve jumble. This is a full-blown identity crisis—and a completely understandable one. Who is Jeremy Lin supposed to be? Jeremy Lin，替补控卫，用帽子盖着头，上一个星期天晚间从Staples Center走了出来。 之前说过他不在乎先发或替补的他坦承他确实很在意，即使他星期天早上在教练的办公室 表示ok。在他希望在洛杉矶稳定下来却失望时，迷惑又再一次轮回，这已经不是先发或 替补的问题，这是一种自我定位的全面危机 --完全可以理解。到底Lin是什麽? He's the guy who gets a tribute video played in his honor when he returns to face his former team…except the record shows the Houston Rockets had to give draft picks to the Lakers to get them to take him off their hands. He's the global icon who transcended the sports world with the New York Knicks after being hardly recruited out of high school, undrafted out of college and cut twice in the pros. He plans this season to replace the 2012 splash of Linsanity with a sustainable level of excellence, but his lack of nuance in running the team offense and his defensive mistakes make it unclear whether he is, to be blunt, good enough to do what he intends. 他在回到前东家地方打球时获得感谢影片，前东家之前却是给了选秀权把他脱手。 他是一个高中毕业後差点找不到学校，选秀落选，被裁两次，在纽约尼克爆发的全球 品牌。他计画在2012年林来疯之後能稳定发挥到最好，但在处理进攻上缺少细腻和 防守上的犯错让他自己变得不清楚到底他自己，坦白说，是不是能像他想要得这麽好。 He was actually asking a pastor to pray that he wouldn't get cut again just before he saw his life erupt into some of the most insane highs anyone has ever experienced, yet he wants more than anything to focus on humility. Add it all up, and it's confusing who Lin is supposed to be, even before you have Kobe Bryant telling him he has to play with an "eff-it attitude" while Scott is nagging him to call more plays for his teammates and make more responsible defensive rotations. 在他爆发经历其他人从没有过的疯狂之前他才刚刚像牧师祈求过希望自己不要被裁， 然而他之後只专注於保持谦虚。即使在之前Kobe要他强硬起来，教练碎念他组织起队友 在防守端负起责任，种种一切让Lin迷惘到底他应该是什麽? Lin's answer to it all is to lean on his religious beliefs. He said recently that as important as basketball is to him, his family is more important than basketball, and God is more important than his family. As he tried to accept Scott's decision after 20 games to start journeyman Ronnie Price for better point guard defense—with the coach committing to at least a 10-game audition for Price—Lin said Sunday night, "This is one of the toughest situations I've been in ever since I started playing the game of basketball. I'm trying to figure it all out. It's tough, but I believe God has me here for a reason, and I just keep working." Scott's choice to insert both Price and Ed Davis into the starting lineup to create "a defensive-minded basketball team" didn't spark anything in a 104-87 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans. And Scott acknowledged the Lakers lost their will to compete because they couldn't score. Lin将一切归他的宗教信往，最近他才说家人比篮球重要而神比他的家人重要。 在他试着接受20场比赛之後教练基於防守考量让浪人控卫Price先发的说词之时-- 试验10场--Lin说道，"这是我从打篮球以来最严峻的状况之一，我正在试着解决， 这很难，但我相信神有旨意，我只需做我该做的。"然而教练让Price和Ed先发组成 以防守考量的队形并没有产生效果。星期天以104-87输给鹈鹕。教练说他们没法竞争 因为他们无法得分。 Maximizing Davis' defense over Carlos Boozer makes sense, but no Lin means the Lakers are starting four weak offensive players in Price, Wesley Johnson, Davis and Jordan Hill. It's just the latest example of Scott putting too much burden on Bryant, whose hope had been to have offensive balance with Lin creating on the perimeter and Bryant from the free-throw line down. Although Bryant said he expects Lin to "stick with it" instead of being down on himself, there has already been a heavy feeling with Lin this season. It has been especially noticeable since he declared this season would feature more of his true presence and be less about outside pressure. For someone with freakish acceleration and some hysterical off-court videos, Lin hasn't been a light presence. That's what happens when you carry a lot of stuff with you and aren't sure which parts are the most you. Lin walked into Toyota Center three weeks ago for his first trip back to Houston and made a point to wear a sweatshirt with "CALIFORNIA" across the chest. Born in Los Angeles and raised in Northern California, Lin has relatives all around him to offer more support. Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak has been interested in bringing Lin to this team basically his whole professional career. 用Ed替代Boozer强化防守合理，但是没有Lin表是湖人先发四个是进攻贫弱的球员-- Price, Johnson, Davis, Hill，这只是最新的一个教练让Kobe负担太重的一个例子， 本来Kobe希望跟Lin在进攻上达到平衡效果。虽然Kobe期望Lin撑住别沮丧，但Lin已 然觉得相当沉重。这在Lin表示会展现自己不在乎外在压力之後更加明显，相较於一个 有相当快的加速度和场外的搞笑影片，Lin显得很严肃。这会发生，当你不了解不确定 到底自己是谁的时候。Lin三个星期前胸前穿着"加州"的衣服回到休斯顿，在加州出生 北加长大，Lin有着亲友的支持，湖人队总管米奇一直对於将他带到湖人有浓厚的兴趣。 Lin felt things were set up to take off for real for the first time. Instead, he has been tugged in many different directions, with the hoped-for solid foundation undermined by what he described as "new everything. ... I'm trying to figure out everything all at once." He is not secure in his role or in his identity. He's 26, but Scott still refers to him as a "kid." He might still wind up a Western Conference All-Star starting guard next to Bryant even though he's not starting next to him on the Lakers. It's crazy, but Lin doesn't know if, when or how far the pendulum will swing next time. "Me of all people," he said, "I know it can change overnight." Here's what Lin doesn't know: stability and security, safe and sound, night after night. He actually looks back on last season as a comfort zone because he got to be in the same place for a second year. Yes, change can be absolutely exhilarating. But peace is a prize. 他感到一切已就绪准备重新开始，相反地，他被带往各种不同的方向，原本带着希望 会有稳定的定位，现在他说"我现在突然要试着找寻方法解决"。他对自己的角色和身分 没有安全感。他已经26岁但教练仍然将他视为小孩。他仍然有可能进西区的全明星比赛， 这很疯狂，但Lin不确定到底何时又会变动。林说"对於我而言，一夕之间一切都会变化" Lin感受不到稳定，保障，安全感，他甚至认为上赛季因为是第二年因此反倒觉得适应。 改变当然让人感到兴奋，但是稳定有时却是弥足珍贵。 --
