Nets coach Kenny Atkinson once wondered about PG Jeremy Lin: 'Is this kid any good?' http://tinyurl.com/hcjh3rk by ESPN 篮网新总教练阿金, 从前也曾怀疑过林书豪, 想说:"这孩子有什麽长处吗??" The New York Knicks were on the road at some point during the 2011-12 season and, as Kenny Atkinson remembers it, a fringe NBA player named Jeremy Lin was getting torched during a 3-on-3 practice game ... by another assistant coach. 2011-12球季某次尼克前往客场比赛的时候, 阿金回忆到, 一个叫做林书豪没什麽人认得 的NBA球员, 在三对三的练习中被另一个助理教练打爆了 “And I’m thinking to myself, ‘Is this kid any good?’” Atkinson said he wondered then. 阿金那时候狐疑的自问:"这孩子有什麽长处吗?" This, of course, was before “Linsanity,” before the undrafted point guard out of Harvard captivated the world with a stretch of stunningly dominant play later that same season. 当然, 这发生在"Linsanity"之前, 在这位选秀落榜&哈佛毕业的控卫用一连串极具统治力 的表现震惊这世界之前 The Knicks had claimed Lin off waivers in late December 2011; Atkinson was New York’s player-development assistant at the time, assigned to work with the team’s end-of-the-bench guys. 尼克在2011年12月下旬找来了刚被挥弃的林书豪, 那时阿金是尼克的球员发展助教, 被指 派去训练球队里位处板凳深处末梢的球员们 “He was kind of an afterthought,” Atkinson said of Lin. “He was part of the group that didn’t play, and I was working with that group on a daily basis.” 阿金说:"林书豪那时是属於次要球员, 他那时处於没能获得上场时间的小团体, 而我就是 负责每天都去训练培养这种球员的人" Because they weren’t getting any in-game minutes, Atkinson pushed Lin and his other teammates who were out of the rotation hard during practices, putting them through rigorous drills, 1-on-1s and 3-on-3s that often included Atkinson himself. 因为这群球员没能获得任何上场时间, 阿金就让林跟这群组的其他人接受他严厉的训练, 让他们一对一, 三对三的打, 往往阿金自己也会下场一起练习 Atkinson and Lin bonded in the gym, arriving early and leaving late. 在这体育馆里, 阿金和林书豪建立起了关系, 他们总是早早就到, 却很晚才离开 “I mean, this guy wakes up at 6 a.m. every morning,” Lin said of Atkinson, according to the New York Post. “I’ll text after a game at midnight, 1 o’ clock when I go home, and I’ll say, ‘Hey, can I look at those turnovers? Can I look at the upcoming team? How they run pick-and-rolls?’ And he’ll have the film ready when I walk into the facility the next morning.” 林书豪回忆到:"阿金每天都是早上六点就起床了, 我往往在深夜回到家後发讯息给他, 问 他说能不能让我看看我那些失误? 可以让我看看下一次对战球队吗? 可以让我看看他们怎 样打档拆的吗? 然後隔天早上当我再走进体育馆时, 就会发现阿金都把这些准备好了" Said Atkinson: “I think it was just the trust that I was going to be that guy that was going to be with him every day -- even if he was probably going to get cut and go back to the D-League and might be out of the league. 阿金对此说到:"这就是我想在他心中建立起的信赖感, 即使他那时看来很可能再被裁掉然 後回到发展联盟继续努力, 或是再也无法回到NBA" “But one thing about him was he just kept at it.” "但他就只是单纯的持续努力" Atkinson gives Knicks coach Mike D’Antoni credit for always believing in Lin and having an affinity for him as a player, “but I think people would be lying to you if they said this was a guy that was about to explode.” 阿金对於D'Antoni总是信任林书豪给予肯定, 他说:"但我想当有人跟你说""嘿你知道吗? 这小子要大爆发了喔""时, 往往都是谎言" Exactly. 真心不骗 No one saw this explosion coming, not even the Knicks themselves. They were on the verge of releasing Lin before he busted out in a big way, taking over New York City and becoming the toast of the town in the process. 没人事先看出林书豪的爆发, 尼克自己也是, 那时尼克几乎就要放掉林了, 林书豪却用最 狂暴的姿态掀起了这场林来疯, 征服了整个纽约并成为举世焦点 “When he hit the [winning 3-point] shot in Toronto, it gave me chills,” Atkinson said. “It was like when you see a great Broadway show or a great symphony. Those are moments where you get emotional. It wasn’t just, ‘Wow, we won!’ To see that kid and what he went through and see that this was actually possible, it wasn’t just a happy moment. It was an emotional moment. 阿金说:"当林书豪在多伦多砍进那颗致胜三分球时, 我全身都为之颤栗起来了, 就像是你 去看一场激彩的百老汇秀或是交响乐一样, 他带来的那些精彩片段总能带起观看者的情绪 , 而不只是让球迷们大喊"喔耶我们赢了, 走! 去吃鸡排", 去看林的比赛看他努力突破过 的种种, 然後看到林书豪把这些努力都变成真实, 这不仅仅是令人开心的时刻, 而是让人 情绪为之狂热啊" After the season, however, Atkinson and Lin both left New York. Atkinson became an assistant in Atlanta, while Lin signed with Houston before moving on to the Los Angeles Lakers and, later, the Charlotte Hornets. 但那季结束後, 阿金与林双双离开了纽约, 阿金成了老鹰的助教, 林到了火箭然後辗转再 去了湖人跟黄蜂 They kept in touch, but obviously weren’t as close as they had been. And being competitors changed their old player-coach relationship. For example, Lin asked Atkinson on multiple occasions to break down his game and see how he could improve, but Atkinson had to apologetically decline. 他们仍维持着联系, 但显然的没像当初在尼克时那样亲密; 不再是同一队的战友後以前的 那些殷殷教导也随之消失, 像是林书豪曾请教过阿金一些问题, 该如何突破当时的一些困 境, 但阿金只能抱歉的保持沉默 “It was hard because I saw things in his game -- his turnovers, being a more efficient player, and stuff I saw defensively,” Atkinson said. “One game I saw him overtraining before pregame. In my mind I was like, ‘What are you doing?’ But we played them that night, and I thought it could help us. 阿金说:"他那些提问对我来说很难去回应, 因为在他的比赛中我看到了他的失误, 他努力 去做个更有效率的球员, 以及他在防守上的表现; 有一场比赛我看到他在赛前过度练习, 我心想他在干嘛呀?, 但那晚是我们彼此球队互战, 而我认为这对我的球队有帮助" “And that was tough because I love the guy, but he became the competition, and I felt like for the team I was with, that’s how I had to approach it.” "这样真的对我来说很艰难, 因为我喜爱林书豪这个人, 但他却是敌对方, 我只能做对我 所属球队好的事情, 人在江湖啊~" Atkinson and Lin are far past Linsanity now, reunited with the Brooklyn Nets, this time as first-year head coach and unequivocal No. 1 point guard/team leader. Atkinson was at the forefront of Brooklyn’s recruiting pitch to land its top free-agent target, and Lin ultimately signed a three-year, $36 million contract to join the Nets. 林来疯过後阿金与林渐行渐远, 如今却在篮网再度聚首; 从前的助教与板凳控卫, 如今已 变成菜鸟总教练跟篮网头号控卫兼球队领袖, 阿金今夏身处篮网引援自由球员战线的最前 线, 水到渠成的林书豪就以3Y/$36M加盟篮网 “I think he’s an improved player,” Atkinson said of Lin. “I think all the experiences he had to go through with Houston and L.A. -- all the struggles -- were important for his development. And then to be with Cliff [Hornets head coach Steve Clifford], where he did a really good job and stepped up his game defensively and turned the ball over less -- I thought Charlotte was great for him and helped convince me even more that he was ready to assume a larger role. His performance in the playoffs was pretty good, and you could tell when it counted Cliff was counting on him, and that was important to me. In a vacuum, Linsanity wasn’t enough to say we wanted to bring him here.” 阿金说:"我认为林书豪比从前更好了, 之前在火箭湖人所有经历过的事, 承受过的煎熬, 都成为他成长茁壮的养分, 之後去了黄蜂在Clifford麾下林书豪也表现得很好, 防守更精 进, 失误也变少了, 我觉得在黄蜂的日子帮助林书豪很多, 也让我对他去肩负更大角色的 想法更有信心. 他在季後赛的表现着实可圈可点, 而当Clifford需要去倚靠林时, 大家也 能看到林书豪的表现, 这些对我来说相当重要, 大家自己人跟你讲白的, 只有林来疯是不 足以让我们把林书豪带过来篮网的了" Atkinson envisions Lin playing alongside Greivis Vasquez and Randy Foye and being able to potentially replicate the success he had playing alongside Hornets guard Kemba Walker. Atkinson also envisions Lin, who thrives in pick-and-roll situations, playing off the ball more than he did in D’Antoni’ s offense. 阿金想像着林书豪跟Vasquez以及Foye一起上场的画面, 觉得应该能像上季他跟Kemba搭配 那样的成功, 他同时预期擅长打档拆的林书豪进攻时可以比当年林来疯时打更多空手跑位 “Mike D’s offense is more point-guard-centric,” Atkinson said. “It’s the Steve Nash model. But this will be a little bit more Atlanta-San Antonio style, a little bit more touches from other guys.” 阿金说:"D'Antoni的进攻更以控卫为中心, 这是Steve Nash风格, 但新球季我的进攻会更 像是揉合了老鹰跟马刺的特点, 更强调从队友端接到球做进攻" The Nets are in rebuilding mode, but they’re hoping Lin, who has had an up-and-down career, can regain the dominance he showed during Linsanity, with his former assistant coach in New York -- the one he still loves making fun of and joking around with -- by his side. 篮网虽处在重建阶段, 但仍希望林书豪搭配阿金可以重拾林来疯时的统治力 “I’ve been saying it was just a matter of time for him because I know how good he is, I know how much he was there for me in New York,” Lin told the New York Times upon Atkinson’s hiring in Brooklyn. “When you’re around him, you kind of understand there’s something different about him -- his energy, his passion, the juice he approaches his work with. He doesn’t leave any stone unturned.” 林书豪说:"我总说成为总教练对阿金来说只是时间问题, 因为我清楚他有多好, 只要你有 机会跟他共事就会知道他跟其他教练的不同, 他的能量, 他的热情, 他在努力工作时投注 的心力, 他总是千方百计的把工作做到最好" PS. leave no stone unturned = 竭尽心力 or 千方百计 -- 清晨雾一般的思念, 清新 double, 美丽 double, 捉摸不定 double... --
