He got out of Houston, but landed with the Los Angeles Lakers, playing next to Kobe Bryant and under a terrible head coach in Byron Scott. In 2015, his contract will run out. He’s in a tough spot career-wise and beyond his talent which doesn’t always show through bad roles and limited playing time, and a little bit of luck can take him a long way. ---------- 去年对林来说是好的一年吗？很难说。他离开休士顿，却降落到洛杉矶湖人队，在Kobe Bryant身边以及在糟糕的总教练Byron Scott执教下打球。2015年，他的合约将要结束。 论事业，他在一个困难点上，他的天赋总是无法在不好的角色以及受限的上场时间下展现 出来，也许一点点好运能带着他走得长久。 ---------- What is this luck? It’s never been defined, and never will be. It’s things that are going to happen that might not be possible to explain. But in his current situation, unless Lin stops having bad shooting nights and all of a sudden convinces (what should be perfectly clear to everyone) Byron Scott that he’s a better and more useful player than Ronnie Price, simply working hard might not put him in the spot he should be at by now. ---------- 什麽样的好运？它从未被定义过，以後也不会。那是一些即将要发生却不太可能解释的事 情。但以林目前的状况来看，除非林不再有那些投篮糟糕的夜晚，以及突然使Byron Scott相信(对任何人来说应该再清楚不过)林是一个比老普还要好、还要有用的球员，否 则单只是努力是无法将他带到一个他现在应该在的位置上的。 ---------- Lin has one very good game followed by a bad one. It’s been the story all season long. He wasn’t supposed to be the starter, but then Steve Nash went down, so Lin got the role in the lineup. But that meant playing next to Kobe Bryant. For someone who needs the ball in his hands to be effective, that isn ’t a good pairing. And so Lin fell to the bench, playing behind a borderline D-League player in Ronnie Price, who once in blue moon catches fire from beyond the arc, earning him another year in the league. ---------- 林可以有一场非常棒的比赛，随後是糟糕的下一场。这是持续一整季的情节。他原先不应 该是先发球员，但随着Nash伤退，林在先发阵容有了一席之地。但那意味着在Kobe Bryant身边打球。对一个需要一球在手才能打得有效率的人来说，这并不是个好的组合。 因此林被降为替补，在一个实力在发展联盟边缘的老普身後打球，过去几乎未曾有过，但 他现在在三分线外变得火热，为他赢得在联盟的另一年。 ---------- p.s. 虽然原文这样写，不过我觉得老普是个好球员，他也是个愿意牺牲奉献的团队球员 ，希望这段翻译不要被解读为林迷黑队友。 ---------- Lin is fighting misconceptions and wrong perceptions. About being soft, about being a bad defender, and against all those who have been targeting him, hoping for his fall ever since he came out of nowhere in 2012 and took New York by storm for a short while. Maybe he isn’t the superstar he was for a short while, but he’s a much better player than being a backup on a bad team and playing 15-20 minutes a night. ---------- 林正在与对他的误解以及错误看法奋战着。关於他软弱、关於他是个糟糕的防守者，以及 所有那些，自从林2012年发迹并且以短暂的旋风征服纽约之後，就一直针对他、希望他跌 落的人。也许他并不是他曾经短暂成为的超级巨星，但他是个比在糟糕球队里一个晚上只 能打上15到20分钟的替补还要好的球员。 ---------- It’s not all about what others have done to Lin. His performances have been inconsistent because of him as well, not just because of the situation and the treatment from Byron Scott. But being the only one (or one of a rare few) being held accountable for mistakes is a terrible position to be in. One which no one deserves, especially not someone who is always about the team and other teammates above everything else, unlike others on this team. ---------- 这并不全是关於其他人对林做了什麽。不只是因为他的处境还有Byron Scott如何对待他，他一直以来不稳定的表现也跟他自己有关。但作为唯一一个(或是少数中的少数)被用 来为错误负责任的球员是可怕的。这种处境没有人应得，更不用说是一个总是关心球队以 及其他队友胜过所有其他事物的人，与这支球队里的其他人不同。 ---------- Despite what most of our parents told us, working hard and being good at what you do doesn’t always push you forward in life. Luck and connections help you just as much and maybe even more. And in 2015, Jeremy Lin, besides needing to improve, be more consistent and simply make the most of the opportunities given to him, needs some things to go his way. ---------- 尽管我们的父母总是告诉我们，努力付出并且在你所做的事情上表现良好，并不总是能带 来回报。好运与关系给你带来的帮助可能远比你所想像的要多得多。2015年，林除了需要 继续进步、变得更稳定，以及尽可能把握住多数赋予给他的机会以外，的确还需要一些什 麽，才能如他所愿。 带着一点点祈祷的心态在翻译这篇文章 希望我们在几千公里外的电脑萤幕前所做的这点小事 能够为林带来一点点文章里所谓的好运 无论打好打坏都支持林 因为真正令人激赏的是林的心态 保持健康稳定出赛 林加油! --
