RESURGENCE OF JEREMY LIN

After a pretty abysmal year playing for the LA Lakers, Jeremy Lin has had a pretty nice bounce back season with the Charlotte Hornets. He has captured the media and basketball fans attention with his strong performances to send out a reminder to the league.

經歷過在湖人隊一個很糟糕的球季之後，林書豪在夏洛特有一個相當好的反彈，他不僅靠著亮眼的表現擄獲了媒體與球迷們的注意力，同時也向聯盟傳遞出一些訊息~

To be frankly honest Lin didn’t have the best of years with the Lakers due to various reasons which have been mentioned in previous posts. He was not put in to a position to succeed, a coach who was doing his job by tanking and not giving his team the best opportunity to win games. This was something out of Lin’s control and I can not put much blame on him for not having the best of years with the Lakers.

必須很坦白而誠實的說，因為之前提到的種種原因，林沒有在湖人得到一個好的球季，因為某個教練為了擺爛，沒有把林放在一個可以成功的位置上，也沒有給這支球隊任何贏球的機會，這一切都超過了林可以控制的範圍，所以我也不會因此而把這糟糕的一年算在林的頭上。

During free agency Lin signed with the Charlotte Hornets, it raised a few eye brows as this was very unexpected. The deal went under the radar, most of the focus was on other teams such as the Dallas Mavericks and the Memphis Grizzlies. Lin knew after signing he had to make a bigger impact with the Hornets than he did with the Lakers.

在林獲得第一次自由球員的機會時，他讓眾人跌破眼鏡的與夏洛特黃蜂簽了約，這份合約遠遠超乎各界預期，因為大家一直把焦點放在小牛與灰熊隊身上，林自己知道，他必須在黃蜂拿出比在湖人更好的表現。

Lin’s value was at its all time low since Linsanity hence why he was only offered by the Hornets a 2-year contract worth around $4m with an option to opt out after year 1. This was obviously not Lin’s true value. If Lin played well this year which he has done his value would rise substantially since the salary cap is increasing considerably.

這份與黃蜂簽訂的2年約4百萬的合約(第二年球員選項) 是自從 Linsnity 之後的最低薪資，但這絕對不代表林的真正價值，如果他今年能拿出好表現，那麼他的身價將會有相當大的提升。 (因為工資帽也大幅上揚)

This season was a huge bounce back year for Lin and he offered a lot to the Charlotte Hornets. He was instrumental in getting them into the playoffs with a record of 48-34. In the regular season Lin averaged 11.7 points per game, 3 assists and 3.2 rebounds in 26.3 minutes. During the playoffs Lin averaged 12.4 points, 2.6 assists, 2.3 rebounds in 27 minutes. These statistics may not be out of this world; however, Lin played a big part in a successful season for the Hornets. There were many things he did well this year. Teams around the league will surely be keeping a close eye on him during free agency, that’s if Lin decides to opt out of his underpaid contract.

這一季林從谷底反彈，對黃蜂有相當大的貢獻，他平均上場26.3分鐘，以場均 11.7分、3助攻、3.2籃板，幫助黃蜂以48勝34敗闖進季後賽；又於季後賽繳出 12.4分、2.6助攻、2.3籃板的好成績，這些統計數字也許不能說是極好的，但是林在黃蜂這個成功的球季之中占了很大一部分，他今年在各方面都做得很好，所以聯盟中的各個球隊想當然都會持續關注林何時決定跳出這個明顯被低估的合約。

Defence

First and foremost, Lin’s defence has been heavily criticised throughout his career. I wouldn’t say Lin was a bad defender in the past, I would just consider him as an average defender who can hold his own.

首先也是最重要的，林的防守一直以來被批評的很多，但我不認為他是一個糟糕的防守者，而是一個平均防守水準的球員。

This year Lin has taken leap forward with his defence. He has been spectacular; he has made it extremely tough for opposing players to do anything significant against him. One thing that stood out for me was that it’s not very often he gets beat of the dribble, this was one thing that I would notice before. Lin has guarded bigger players and he has caused them all sorts of trouble, this is a testament of his strength which is very underrated. With a much improved Lin on defence, he is a very valuable member to have for any team. Now he can do work on defence as well on offence.

這個球季，林已經完全跳脫防守不佳這個評價，他以極其驚人而且強悍的防守讓所有對位的球員無法在他面前為所欲為，有一件事我很確定，那就是林通常不會被對手輕易的運球過人，還有一個就是我以前就注意到他經常防守比他更高大的球員，但林還是可以從各方面去造成對手的麻煩，這是一項有力證據足以推翻對他被低估的防守能力。因為林大幅提高了防守能力，做得就像他的進攻一樣好，所以他對任何一支球隊來說都可以成為非常有價值的成員。

Opportunity taken

Lin has seized on his opportunities this season when the opportunity presented itself. When the Hornets needed someone to fill in for either Kemba Walker or in Nic Batum’s absence, Lin has grabbed the opportunities with both hands.

在這個球季之中，林抓住了每一次可以表現出自我的機會，當黃蜂需要有人頂替沃克或是巴圖缺席的時刻，林用雙手緊緊的抓住了這些機會!!

Lin has not disappointed one bit at all when he has started. There are some memorable games where he started, such as the Toronto Raptors and the Cleveland Cavaliers game. Those are two of the best teams in the East and Lin thrived against them, having himself a game to remember. He was also magnificent against the Spurs where he led the Hornets to beat one of the supreme teams in the league. This showed he plays well against the big teams.

林在他先發的場次裡，沒有留下一點點的遺憾，有幾場讓人印象深刻的先發比賽，像是對暴龍以及騎士這兩支東區最好的球隊，林擊敗了他們!! 同時他還領著群蜂們打敗了全聯盟最偉大的球隊~馬刺!! 這都顯示出他在對上強隊時也能打得非常好。

These performances would have grabbed the attention of a lot of people around the league and it sure won’t go unnoticed. It’s a reminder that Lin can perform at a very high level when given the opportunity and put in the right situation.

這些表現勢必吸引了聯盟多數人的眼光，而這確實不容易被忽略，這些表現不斷提醒著大家，當給他機會，而且放在正確的位置上時，林可以拿出非常高水準的表現。

Playoffs

Even though the Hornets lost in first round of the playoffs whilst leading 3-2 and with the chance to close it out at home, Lin was one of the few players whose stock rose during the series.

雖然黃蜂隊沒有在3:2的領先優勢下，於主場取得第一輪的勝利，但林還是少數在這系列賽中取得成功的球員。

The 3 games the Hornets won Lin played a huge role whether it’s by scoring, attacking the hoop or facilitating for his team mates. These playoffs Lin received more attention than in the past few years, a lot of the big media corporations were raving on about him and he deserved all the attention he had. Without Lin the Hornets may have been swept, Lin stepped up whilst Batum was out for game 3 and 4. Lin was in attack mode during most of the series, attacking aggressively to the rim drawing contact on opposing players.

在黃蜂取的勝利的3場比賽中，不論是在得分、衝擊籃框、還是為隊友創造機會，林都扮演著巨大的角色，這幾場季後賽的表現，林得到了比過去幾年更多的注意，很多大型媒體瘋狂的報導，而這也是林應得的。如果沒有林的話，黃蜂可能被橫掃出局，在巴圖缺陣的第3第4場，林跳出來開啟進攻模式，不斷的積極攻擊籃框，與對手激烈的身體對抗。

People had doubts as regards to whether Lin can produce in the playoffs but this series has proved he is more than capable of winning a good few games for his team. This was definitely his best playoff series yet.

當人們懷疑林可不可以在季後賽打出成績時，他為球隊提供了超出贏球所需的能力，這絕對是他到目前為止最棒的季後賽!!

Overall this has been a very successful season for Lin, it has arguably been one of his best season in the league. We have seen a resurgence of Jeremy Lin after a couple of quiet ones. He seemed far happier and stress free on the Hornets roster. He also mentioned this has been the most fun and enjoyable year since he arrived to the league.

整體來看，這個球季對林來說是非常成功的，甚至可說是他在聯盟中最棒的一季，我們看到了在幾個沉寂球季之後的復甦，他在黃蜂看起來很快樂而且沒有壓力，甚至也表示這是他這6年來最快樂最享受的一年。

Lin sent a message out to the league that he is a very good point guard who can penetrate to the rim and create shots for his team. No doubt Lin’s stock has risen and if he decides to opt out he won’t be short on offers. Even though Lin’s shot has been hit and miss this season he has still been able to find ways to score. It’ll be interesting to see what Lin decides to do in the off season, he has some big decisions to make.

透過他的表現傳遞出一項訊息，林是一個非常好的控球後衛，因為他可以攻擊籃框也可以為隊友製造投籃機會，
林的價值(身價)正在提高，這點無庸置疑，如果他決定跳出合約也不用擔心沒有其他球隊的報價，雖然他這季的投籃狀況有些起伏，但他仍然能夠想辦法得到分數，球季正式結束後，看著他做出一個重要的決定，將會非常有趣。
