[翻译] 潜意识中被定型了的林书豪
这是一篇博文，博主是住在夏洛特的林粉，所以他的名字是用JeremyLinForum. 这篇文章的作者接受了另一位美国的林密买给他的一张G6的票而前去看了第六场季后赛，在今天看完G7的比赛之后写的一些感想。本人严重推荐。
================================================
After Game 6 an old topic that I have wanted to debate reappeared in my mind. I thought hard about writing this article in the past few day but after today’s game it was I had to bring this up. I could’ve taken the time to write about Friday or today’s game but it would’ve been a waste of time and there is nothing good coming out of that. Instead, I want to talk about the underlying truth that’s been obscured by most, even by Jeremy Lin’s own selfless and calm personality.
第六战打完，一个我以前琢磨了很久的话题又浮现出脑海。这几天我一直在想把它写出来，但是今天看完比赛，我觉得是时候把这个话题提出来了。我可以花时间去写星期五的那场比赛，但是我觉得那会是浪费时间，因为那些已经都不重要了。相反，我想讨论的话题却是一个隐藏在很多人心里，甚至可能也隐藏在林书豪自己无私，冷静的个性后面。
If you have followed me on Twitter you would know that I don’t necessarily like it when people play the racism card. I find it too simple and more of a reaction taken at the heat of the moment rather than a logical conclusion. You might also know that I’m not Asian. Therefore, what I’m going to talk about doesn’t come from racial-preference. But, from my observations of what’s obviously a discrepancy in equal perception of Jeremy Lin compared to others and how this stereotypical perception has affected Lin’s current season and how it might shape his future in the NBA.
如果你关注我的推特，你就会知道我并不是很喜欢人家打种族牌。我觉得那个说法太简单笼统，而且很容易在激烈的争吵中被抓来用的论点，而不是冷静时的逻辑的结论。你可能也知道我并不是亚洲人。所以，我将谈到的，并不是从种族族裔的观点出发的。但是，根据我的观察，当人们想平等的比较林书豪和其他球员的表现的时候，一种非常明显的分歧，和定势却存在着，这样的被定型的林书豪的直接影响到他这个赛季，甚至可能影响到他以后在NBA的生涯。
(Before I go any further I must clarify my position on Steve Clifford’s treatment of Lin before I am misinterpreted. Clifford is not a Byron Scott or a Kevin McHale. In my opinion, he has treated Lin fairly during the entire season and more so than any other coach since Mike D’Antoni.)
（在我开始谈论之前，我想澄清一点，我对Clifford教练对待林书豪的方式的观感。我认为Clifford跟拜仁，麦克海尔教练不一样。我认为，这个赛季他对林书豪还算公正，比丹东你以来其他教练都要更公正一些。）
The underlying truth is that Jeremy Lin is not like any other NBA player. And I don’t mean that the way that you might think I do. I was at Time Warner Cable Arena for Game 6 thanks to a fellow Lin fan that was generous enough to give me a free ticket. As you all know Lin had a terrible game, there is no way to sugarcoat it. But, Lin is human, he is like every other NBA player which means he can have a bad game just like anyone else. Or maybe not. Because as I headed out to the exits the only thing I heard people talking about was Jeremy Lin’s horrible game. In game 6 Lin had 8 Points shooting 1/8 from the field in 23 minutes. It was indeed a bad night, but my question is, why did I only hear about Jeremy Lin having a bad game? Frank had 7 points in 35 minutes. Lee had 2 points (yes, two) in 39 minutes. Marvin Williams had 0 points shooting 0/7 in 37 minutes! Yet, I didn’t hear anyone talking about any of those players. Why is that? Why is it that it’s ok for Frank, Marvin and Lee to have bad games without their value diminishing but not for Jeremy Lin.
被隐藏的真相是林书豪不同于NBA中其他任何一个球员。而我说的可能跟你想象的并不一样。季后赛第六战我就在Time Warner Cable球场，感谢一位林书豪的球迷的慷慨赠送的球票。大家都知道那一场林书豪的表现挺糟糕，这不用掩饰。但是，林也是普通人，他也和其他任何一个NBA球员一样，也就是说他也会有打得不好的比赛，和其他任何一个球员一样。也可能不是，因为在我往出口走的路上，我唯一听到大家谈论的，就是林书豪的比赛有多糟糕。第六战林8投一中拿到8分，上场23分钟。 确实不是好的比赛，可是，我的问题是，为什么我只听到人家谈论林书豪打的不好？Frank 35分钟也只拿了7分，李拿2分，（没错，只有2分），上场时间却有39分钟。马文上场37分钟内7投0中只拿0分。可是，我没有听到任何人谈论这些球员，为什么？ 为什么Frank，马文，李都可以有很糟糕的比赛却不会影响到他们价值，但是林书豪却不可以？

Why is it that someone like Cory Joseph, who averaged 7/2/2 in 18 MPG last year, got a 7.5 M/YR contract this season; and Jeremy Lin who averaged 11/4.6/2.6 in 23 MPG last year got a miserable 2 M/YR contract? Even Jeremy Lamb got an extension of 7 M/YR averaging only 6/2/1 in 14 MPG last season. I know there is going to be a lot of arguments about contracts, but I don’t have time to dive into all the little details so let me go a bit further.
为什么有的球员像Cory Joseph （猛龙替补控卫），上个赛季场均18分钟，7分2板2助攻就能拿到每年7.5米的合约，可是林书豪场均23分钟 能拿11分4.6助攻2.6篮板，却只拿到少得可怜的2米一年的合约？甚至连Lamb都拿到7米一年的续签合约，而Lamb只有14分钟，6分2助攻1篮板而已。我知道关于合约还可以有很多的探讨，但是我现在没有更多的时间钻研这些细节可以讨论得更深入。
My argument is much more than contracts and money. It’s the fact that Lin’s bad games are treated differently than anyone else’s bad games. That Lin’s best games are treated differently than anyone else’s best games. Imagine that Lin was a stock in the market. In essence, when Lin has a great game his stock might stay the same or rise by 1-2%. When Lin has a bad game his stock plummets 80-90%. Yet, Batum can have a horrible game yet his value remains the same and no one questions his basketball abilities. Some may call this racism but I think that answer is too simple. I think there is a stereotypical subliminal perception of Lin, I know that’s a mouthful, but let me explain further.
我要讨论的要超越合约的问题。我要谈论的是这个现实存在，那就是林的表现差的比赛和其他球员差的比赛得到的是不一样的对待。假设林书豪是一支股票。当林有一场好的比赛的时候，他的股价可能涨1到2点，可是当他有一场差的比赛的时候，他的股价可能掉个7，80点。可是，Batum可以有一场更糟糕的比赛，而他的股价却不会变动多少，并且没有人会去怀疑他的篮球能力。有些人会说这是种族歧视，我觉得这样说法还是太简单化。 我觉得这是因为有一种潜意识中的将林书豪定型的观点，我知道这个说起来很绕口，还是让我来解释一下。
In Lin’s first season with the Rockets he averaged 13/6/3 in 32 MPG. After that “terrible” season he was benched the following year in favor of the infamous Patrick Beverley. Last season (first season without Lin) Beverley averaged 10/3/4 in 31 MPG. Beverley got a 6.25 M/YR contract after that season which was deemed as “great.”
林书豪在火箭的第一个赛季，他场均32分钟能拿到13分6助攻3篮板。这个“糟糕”的赛季过后，他被压到板凳上，而被著名的贝弗里取代。上个赛季是贝弗里在没有林书豪同队的第一个赛季，他场均10分3助攻4篮板，上场31分钟。贝弗里拿到了6.25米一年的合约，而这个合约被普遍认为“非常合算”。
But for some unknown reason Lin’s points, assists and rebounds per game have less value than everyone else’s he is compared with. But the stereotypical subliminal perception of Lin is not just about his value. Recently another Lin fan published a video that became viral about Lin’s “too flagrant not to call” fouls. I remember watching the first 2-3 minutes and I had to take the video off. I just couldn’t keep on watching. These fouls were so flagrant yet sometimes Lin didn’t even get a common foul call. It was terrible.
但是因为一些莫须有的原因，林书豪的场均得分，助攻，篮板都比其他人相比就不值像等的价钱。而这些潜意识的对林书豪的定型还不仅仅表现在合约身价上。最近网络流传的一个林粉制作的视频关于“林书豪被恶犯却不被吹罚”，我记得我看了两三分钟就不得不停止播放。因为我根本无法看下去。这些犯规太严重了，可是林书豪有时却连普通的犯规都得不到。这真的是无法接受。
In some way it’s like Lin is treated with a completely different set of standards. Let’s even bring it to today’s Game 7. The Hornet’s were having a terrible game and Lin was getting in his groove in the second quarter. Yet, he was benched and only played 9 minutes as the Hornets were down 12 at halftime. Clifford waited until they were down 20+ points to call his first time-out of the 3rd quarter. And guess who remained in the bench? Jeremy Lin. In fact, Lin finished with the same total amount points as Kemba Walker, who played 36 mins compared to Lin’s 19, in half the amount of shots. Yet again, no one is going to question Kemba’s basketball abilities just because of a bad game, and his value will not diminish either.
这个看上去就是林被用另一套规则来对待。让我们来谈谈今天的第7战。第二节时黄蜂表现极为糟糕而林书豪正在进入状态，可是，他被按回板凳，只打了9分钟，而黄蜂半场时落后12分。Clifford教练等到他们落后20+ 分的时候才叫了第三节的第一个暂停。猜猜谁还被留在板凳上？没有错，林书豪。事实是，林书豪得到了和沃克一样的分数，而沃克打了36分钟，而林只有19分钟上场时间。但是，再一次，没有人会因为这样一场不好的比赛去质疑沃克的篮球能力，而他的身价也不会因为这样一场比赛而消失。

This subliminal stereotypical perception is so bad that I fear that Lin’s terrible Game 6 will undo most of what he has been able to accomplish during the entire season. I hope this is not the case. Thankfully we have been able to experience some good coverage on Lin after Game 4 and 5 of the playoffs. But the truth is that I expect Lin’s value to be lower than what it should be compared to other similar players unless there is a team that really wants him. My bet is on the Nets. I think they would be willing to give Lin the chance he deserves. Regardless, as good of a season he had, and as great as his teammates are if Lin stays, and everyone else does as well, he will commit career suicide. Lin would average less than 18 MPG next season for the Hornets if he stays. The only way I see that Lin stays is if Batum leaves. And believe me, I would love Lin to stay in Charlotte, I live in this city, but he shouldn’t, he can’t. Sadly, we won’t be able to know anything anytime soon after our season was cut short.
这种潜意识中对林书豪的定型是这样糟糕，我甚至担心这场不好的第六战会抹去一些他整个赛季得到的成功，我希望不会是这样。幸好林书豪打得好的几场季后赛都得到广泛的报道。但是我觉得可能林书豪的身价还是会比跟他相当的球员低一些，除非有球队真心需要他。我最看好的是蓝网。我觉得他们会希望给林书豪一个他值得的机会。不管怎么说，虽然他有一个很好的赛季，虽然他的队友非常友善，他和队友都非常融洽，但是如果他留下的话，对他的职业生涯来说几乎是一种慢性自杀。下个赛季他将会得到少于18分钟的上场时间。唯一我觉得他可能可以留下的机会是巴图姆离开黄蜂。相信我，我会很高兴林留在夏洛特，我住在这个城市，但是他不应该留，他不能留。悲哀的是，在我们的赛季戛然而止的今天，我们近期不会得知任何的结果。
What I been able to see in the last few years dissapoints me tremendously. I have seen Lin have great games, yet never getting the recognition or the value that he deserves. His basketball abilities and value is questioned every single bad game he has. But, the truth is Lin is human. He is not perfect, neither should he be. However, for most in the NBA Lin can never be good enough. I really hope that after these playoffs someone gives Lin the keys to run a team, but if history repeats himself, sadly, that won’t be the case. And Lin is too good to just be a 18 MPG role player.
过去几年间我所见到的，让我非常失望。我看到林有非常精彩的比赛，可是却从来得不到他应该得到的认可。他的篮球能力和价值在每一场差的比赛后都被怀疑。但是，林书豪是一个人，他不会是完美的，他也不需要是完美的。可是，对大多数的NBA来说，林永远是不够好，我真的希望在这几场季后赛表现后，林能有拥有一个属于他掌控的球队，可惜，历史总是重复的，悲哀的是，这不一定会发生，林总是被认为是只够格打18分钟的角色球员。
