I’ve been way too excited and hyped up all dayto write a post about Jeremy Lin going to the Nets, which Lin announced on hisTwitter at around 7AM (I think) today, using a graphic image created by agraphic designer, who’s also a huge Nets fan @CKCash30.


搭配大林密CKCash30制作的着网队球衣图，林书豪今晨7点在个人推特上宣布了自己下赛季将赴篮网的消息！这太令人振奋了！我整天都在酝酿要写一篇相关的文章！

But, as a Lin fan, this news is way tooimportant for me to not write about, so I’m forcing myself to gather mythoughts and write something which will surely fall short of the moment.

Ever since I heard Atkinson’s press conferencewith the Nets when he was hired as head coach, I have felt that Jeremy Lin isdestined to join the Nets. I wrote this post on May 16th outlining all thecoincidences that link Lin with the BrookLin Nets. Most recently, I wrote thispost reassuring fans that Nets is still my top pick for Lin, despite themtrading away Thad Young, their second best player. And on Twitter, I’ve beensolely fixated on Lin going to the Nets. I’ve pretty much ignored all therumors and talk about him reuniting with MDA and the Rox and didn’t reallyentertain Lin going anywhere else, because for me Nets was by far the bestchoice. I’m sure some Lin fans got annoyed with my over-fixation of Lin joiningthe Nets., Pretty recently (June 28th) tweeting this out to express my totalfixation.:

I’ve alsobeen harassing Jeremy Lin periodically on Twitter to join the Nets, because Ifeel it is the place where he will finally find a home. Most recently on June30th, I sent him this tweet.


但是，作为一个林蜜，这则消息对我来说太重要了！所以我的文章不能为了写而写，我必须强迫自己屏息凝神，挖心掏肺的写！如果抱着一时冲动之心操之过急的话，写出来的东西将南辕北辙。


自从我知道阿特金森将担任篮网主教练，我就预感到林书豪将注定加入篮网。我在5月16日写过文章剖析过所有能将林书豪和篮网联系起来的可能性。最近，我还写文安抚林蜜，告诉他们篮网一直是我心目中林书豪真正归宿的首选，即便是他们交易了他们第二好的球员——杨之后。而在我的推特上，我已经完全沉浸在林将要去篮网的幻想中去不能自拔了。我无视了所有关于林书豪的交易流言和传闻，比如和MDA聚首，回火箭，诸如此类其实根本没有诚意的邀约，因为对我来说网队是目前为止对林书豪最靠谱最好的选择。我敢保证，最近（6月28日）我在推特推送这些观点的时候，肯定有一部分林蜜对我固执的希望林书豪去网队感到费解和恼火。


（下附了自己的推，表达自己对林书豪将去篮网而感到由衷的开心并给予绝对的肯定）
我经常会在推特上“骚扰”林书豪，纵容他加入网队，因为我认为他能在那里找到家的感觉，就在6月30日，我还发了个推给林。（大概内容如下）

“我从2012年开始关注你并撰写关于你的文章，加盟网队绝对是你的职业生涯最令人激动的决定”

The reasonI bring up my previous articles and tweets is to hopefully give you an idea ofhow thrilled I am that something I have been fixated on in my mind has becomereality. Because there are really no words I can use to adequately express howI feel about this news. I guess to me, Lin choosing the Nets is an indicationthat I really do understand his motivations, etc. I guess after writing abouthim since 2012, it would have been disheartening if he chose to join, say theRockets, because that would tell me that I really don’t know Lin thinks, etc.I’ve been so fixated on the Nets, because to me, if I was Lin the Nets is anobvious choice, because it checks off so many boxes for him. After writingabout Lin for over 4 years, it’s nice to know that I do have a clue what he’sthinking.


我重提往事（以前的文章和推文）是为了让你们感受到一直期望的梦想成真后我到底是有多么的兴奋！我实在是找不出更多华丽的辞藻来形容我得知这条消息后的愉悦心境。我想原因之一是林选择了网队说明了我是真的了解他的内心所向。2012年那时候林书豪选择了火箭令我非常沮丧，因为我觉的那说明我还不够了解林。我对林加入网队是如此执着，因为对我来说，如果换做是我，网队绝对是一个显而易见的不二选择，因为网队非常适合林。在为林写文4年后，很高兴得知我对林的内心有些许洞悉。

I highlydoubt Lin sees any of my tweets, but I’m so thrilled that he ended up notsurprising me and picking the most obvious choice for him. The gravy on top forme is that Lin and his team structured exactly the type of contract I wouldhave wanted him to structure. Lin has reportedly agreed to a three-year $36Mcontract with the Nets with a player option in the 3rd year. Once Lin FINALLYgets to start at PG and run the offense for an entire season, people willrealize that $12M for Lin is an absolute steal. Lin probably could have gottenmore money, but $12M was exactly what I expected him to get, even though he’lloutplay his contract significantly.


我怀疑林根本没留意过我发的任何一条推特，但我很激动他没有再让我感到震惊而是作出了对他来说最合情合理的选择。最令我满意的是，林和他的团队签了一份定位精准、富有远见的合同，和我期望中为林规划的愿景一致。林被报道接受了网队3年3600万其中第三年拥有球员选项的合同。一旦最终林有机会在控卫位置上引领全队的进攻，人们将意识到以1200万的年薪获得林书豪简直就是赤裸裸的偷窃行为。林其实很可能可以获得更高的报价，但我个人觉得1200万年薪恰恰是我期望他获得的，尽管他的表现绝对会超过他的合同体现的价值。

I congratulateLin’s team on is getting the player option for the 3rd year. This is what I washoping they’d be able to do, but wasn’t sure teams would go for it, knowingthat salaries are going to take another hike next season. The player option inthe 3rd year is really smart, because that way, Lin avoids tough Point Guardcompetition in next year’s free agency when you have superstar Free Agent PointGuards, such as Steph Curry, Russell Westbrook, Chris Paul, etc.


祝贺林的团队争取到第三年的球员选项，这正是我期望他们能为林做到的，但我不确定林的团队届时会不会去执行，当他们知道工资帽将在下个赛季再次上涨的前提下。第三年的球员选项真的很睿智，如此这般，林将能在明年避免与那些进入自由球员市场的超级控卫们刚正面，比如斯蒂芬库里、拉塞尔威斯布鲁克、克里斯保罗等等。

Eventhough I’m confident Lin will be considered a max or near max player by nextyear, it’s risky becoming a free agent next year if Lin has an opt out clausefor his 2nd year. Instead, Lin will be able to opt out the year after that whenthe FA competition won’t be as tough. To me, the max Lin realistically couldhave gotten is $15M per year, but I prefer the 3rd year player option to astraight $15M per year for three years for a number of reasons. For example, ifLin is considered a max or close to max player, Lin will most likely make upthe difference in the 3rd year. Also, from a perception standpoint, it’ll bebetter for Lin to structure a new contract with a per year amount that issignificantly higher than $15M in the 3rd year. I know that probably sounds alittle complicated, but I don’t really want drag this post down by talkingabout contracts. I just wanted to express how I think the contract Lin’s teamstructured is the best they could have done, because of the very critical 3rdyear player option. I know lots of Lin fans are disappointed at the $12M peryear. But when you look at the contract in a little more detail, it’s actuallyan excellent contract and, to me, it’s ideal given reality. There are alsobonuses and other such things that I think make the contract even moreattractive. So overall, I’m actually very satisfied with the contract. Kudos toJeremy Lin and his team!


纵使我对林在明年被认可为一个顶级或者接近顶级的球员充满信心，但林如果在第二年就选择跳出合同进入自由球员市场是有很大风险的。与此相反，如果林能够再晚一年考虑是否跳出合同的话，届时的自由市场将不会那么艰难。
对我来说，林能获得的最大合同应该是1500万一年（我觉得还是少了...），但因为一些原因，我宁愿他拥有第三年的球员选项而不是每年1500万。例如，如果林被认为是一个顶级或者接近顶级的球员，到了第三年，与他身价不符的差额一定会被补足；此外，从可期的立场看，这款合同的架构，对林在第三年能获得更好的，年薪甚至高于1500万的的合同大有裨益！我知道这听起来有点复杂，但我的文章不想太拘泥于合同，我只是想表达我认为林的团队为林构筑的合同是他们能做到的最好的，因为这个非常关键的第三年球员选项。我知道不计其数的林蜜对林获得的1200万年薪的合同表示失望，但只要你能看到合同的一些细节，这实际上是一份非常好的合同，至少对我来说，这是非常理想的现实，加上合同里还有诸如奖金等其他关于收入的细则，都使得这份合同显得更具吸引力！综上所述，我对林的这份合同非常满意，为林和他的团队点赞！

The way the contract is structured also tells me that the Nets (Atkinson/Marks) areshowing Lin a lot of respect and this tells me that they really want Lin. Iheard rumors that Lin also got an offer from the Bulls, but the Bulls weren’twilling to give him a three-year contract, seeing Lin as more of a stop-gapmeasure than a long-term option. The fact that Nets agreed to a three-yearcontract says that they’re serious about Lin. But to me, the player option andbonuses tells me that they realize Lin is under-valued and these things giveLin the ability to eventually get paid his worth. Teams know that salaries willtake another hike next year, so it’s not in their interest to give playeroptions. But they wanted Lin so much that they gave Lin the player option andbonuses. In other words, they gave Lin a fair contract, rather than try tolow-ball Lin, which shows respect and shows that Lin was their top one or two pickin free agency, as I suspected all along.
合同的架构也告诉我，网队（阿克金森教练/马克思总经理）对林显示出了足够的尊重，这表示他们是真心实意的想得到林。我听到传闻，林也得到了公牛队的报价，但公牛不愿意给林为期三年的合同，他们视林为球队过度的权宜之计而非长远规划中的重要一员（别以为我们书豪是傻的！）。事实是，网队同意了林第三年的球员选项表示他们对林是认真的。不过对我来说，球员选项和奖金显示网队意识到了林是被严重低估的，而这使林最终有能力得到与自己价值相符的薪酬。网队知道明年联盟的工资帽还将上涨，因此，执行球员选项本不是他们的意向所在，不过，他们实在太想得到林以至于他们最终还是承诺给了林球员选项和奖金。换句话说，网队没有像我一开始怀疑的试着去对林压价，而是给了林一个公平合理的合同，他们对林显示了足够的尊重，同时表明了林是他们在自由市场上的第一或者第二选择。

I thinkthe driving force behind getting Lin to join the Nets is Atkinson. I thin someLin fans weren’t sure what to make of Atkinson, since Atkinson hasn’t made manystatements about Lin, apart from when he and Lin were with the Knicks duringLinsanity in 2012. Well, I think it says a lot for Atkinson to choose JeremyLin as his starting point guard in his first gig as a head coach. This confirmssomething I’ve felt all along: that Atkinson really believes in what Lin iscapable of and, thus, will allow Lin to run the offense. And this is a bigreason why I’ve been so fixated on Lin joining the Nets.
我觉得驱使林最终加入网队的源动力来自阿克金森教练。我认为一些林蜜不清楚为什么是他，阿克金森上任以来除了2012年林疯狂期间和林的交集以外，其实没提过多少关于林的话题，好吧，我觉得这就是阿克金森选择林作为他首次执教球队首发控卫的原因！这证实了我一直隐约感觉到的东西：阿克金森教练真心觉得林有能力，因此，把盘活球队的重任交托于他，这也是我固执的希望林能去网队的重要原因之一。

For Linfans, it’s been a long and arduous journey ever since Linsanity back in 2012.Lin has the misfortune of being with the worst teammates in the NBA in Melo,Harden, Kobe, etc. and the worst coaches in McHale and Byron Scott (bothfired). He’s been forced to play out of position and been forced to play to hisweaknesses, rather than to his strength by coaches and GMs who care more aboutappeasing egos than winning games.
对林蜜来说，2012年以来的旅程对林来说是漫长和艰苦的。非常不幸的，林先后和联盟团队属性最差的球员成为队友，从安东尼到哈登再到科比...还有最差劲的教练冰箱和屎科特（两人均已经被炒鱿鱼）。教练和宁愿自欺欺人也不愿赢得比赛的球队经理们迫使林远离他最擅长的位置和角色，迫使林用自己最弱的环节而不是自己最强横的特长去和敌人对抗！

I seeAtkinson and Marks as a coach and GM who cares more about winning games thanplaying politics. Who care more about finding under-rated players than justgoing for the big names, just for the sake of collecting big names haphazardly.Atkinson and Marks want to build the team the right way by taking their timefinding under-rated talent with high-character and unselfishness. I know a lotof Lin fans may be concerned that the Nets lack a talented roster. But I thinkit’s too early to judge the Nets’s roster now. For me, it’s actually moreimportant to build a team that fits well together and has good chemistry(unselfish, high-character) than a team loaded with talent. And I’m sure JeremyLin feels the same way. The culture that Atkinson/Marks want to build isexactly the culture that Lin wants to build and exactly the type of culture inwhich Lin thrives. This is why I’ve been so adamant that Lin will finally finda home with the Nets.


我相信阿克金森教练和马克思经理在乎赢得比赛胜过玩弄政治。他们更关注那些被低估的球员而不是任性又无脑的的去追逐和胡乱添购那些空有虚名的大牌球员。阿克金森和马克思希望通过集结那些被低估有天赋的、球品高尚的和无私的球员，使这支崭新的网队走上正确的建队道路。我知道超多的林蜜担心网队缺乏一份令人心跳加速、天赋异禀的花名册，但我认为现在就下定论还为时尚早。对我来说，组建一支融洽团结的，具有良好化学反应的球队比堆砌天赋球员更为重要，我十二万分的确信，林书豪和我有相同的认识。阿克金森和马克思的建队理念和林的篮球哲学如出一辙，这也是我为什么深信林将在网队找到家的感觉的原因。

This tellsme that Lin is capable of putting up superstar numbers and winning games. Andthe only thing that has stopped Linsanity since 2012 are selfish teammates andawful coaches who have forced Lin to play to Lin’s weakness, rather than hisstrengths. Lin is only allowed to play to his strengths when “superstars” areinjured. Linsanity was borne out of desperation and since then, only happensout of desperation.
这告诉为我们林完全有能力称我为超级巨星并带领队友取得比赛的胜利。2012年使林疯狂嘎然而止的唯一原因就是自私的队友和可恨的教练，他们使林扬短避长，不得不以己之短攻彼之长。只有当那些所谓超级巨星的队友们受伤时才有机会真正一展身手。林疯狂生于绝望，而从那以后，林疯狂只能在绝望中才能窥得一二。

A lot ofarticles talking about Lin’s return to NY are very quick to make sure tomention that Lin won’t be able to bring back Linsanity, basically implying thatLinsanity was a fluke. And that tells me that sports writers and such stilldon’t have a clue about what Jeremy Lin has been through ever since Linsanity.He’s actually significantly more skilled, mentally stronger and overall a muchbetter player than he was during Linsanity. Lin just hasn’t had the opportunityto play to his strengths since Linsanity. But Lin has made the most of the limited/inconsistentminutes/usage that he’s been given. What is exciting for Lin fans is thatBrookLin potentially presents the first opportunity since Linsanity for Lin toFINALLY be given the consistent minutes and usage that will allow Lin tofinally show what he can do. Linsanity isactually the norm for Lin, it’s the entire period ever since Linsanity that isthe fluke. By next year, even these uninformedsports writers will realize this.
很多文章谈到林回到纽约马上就联想到林疯狂，他们认为林疯狂将一去不复返，因为他们觉得林疯狂纯属偶然，告诉我这些的一个体育专栏作家甚至还没意识到林书豪早已经跨越了林疯狂的境界，他的技术更加全面熟练、精神更加坚定强大！现在的林书豪是全方位超越林疯狂的存在！他只是还没有机会和平台来展示自己这些年来的进化！不过，在被给予的少得可怜的机会中，在被束缚的有限时间和无常的使用过程中，林向大家展示了自己已经做得足够好！对林蜜来说值得雀跃的是，林在布鲁克林网队中终将获得充分的使用，在有机会全功率输出后，林将展示他究竟能做到什么程度，并给林蜜和网队球迷送去一份潜在的大礼！
林疯狂实际上是林正常实力的标杆，从机缘巧合的林疯狂开始，林自始至终拥有这样的实力，到了明年，甚至这些无知的体育专栏记者也将意识到这一点。

BecauseLin hasn’t been given a fair shake in his basketball career, based in largepart on the way he looks, Lin continuously has to prove himself againsttremendous obstacles. Back in 2012, I wrote a long article attempting to helppeople break through their preconceptions of Lin. Here’s a relevant excerpt:
看起来在很大程度上，林目前为止的篮球职业生涯没有得到公正的待遇，林不断跨越巨大的障碍证明着自己，时间退回到2012年，我写过一篇长文试图帮助人们打破他们对林书豪的偏见，以下是相关摘录

“For thosewho are sincerely interested in going beyond their biases, but still somehowcan’t, let me help make things easier on you. I’ll attempt to lift the blindfold by having you do a mental exercise. If Jeremy Lin hadn’t been partlydiscriminated against when he graduated high school. A good basketball programwould have picked him up, based on his high school performance (e.g., leadinghis school to a State Championship). If he had gotten into a good collegebasketball program, like he deserved to be, he would have been drafted, maybeeven in the first round. Had he been drafted in the first round, he wouldn’thave been sitting at the end of the benched or been passed from one NBA team toanother. Or we can forget this entire alternative scenario and just think abouthow if NBA scouts had looked at Lin’s stats in college in an objective way(i.e., the way Ed Weiland did) and picked him very early in the draft based onthe conclusion that he was one of the best college players in 2010, then JeremyLin would have immediately been validated as some sort of prodigy. I mean, onlyprodigies get picked that early in the draft, coming out of a no-namebasketball program, right? This guy must be out of this world good!Expectations of Lin would have been pretty high from the get go. If all of thishad been the case, then anyone would feel silly for continually questioningwhat he has done and keep wanting more and more proof if he’s for real. Orstill calling him “average” even at the face of overwhelming evidence to thecontrary. Instead, people would point to Jeremy Lin’s performance as clearevidence of why he got picked in the first round and, moreover, they’ll takethe 26-game sample size and extrapolate it out into the future and say that Linwill become one of the best point guards in the league. I mean, there’s clearevidence. He’s already surpassed all-time great point guards in his first 7starts? What more evidence do you want?”


“对那些真正热衷于篮球的人来说他们会超越偏见，但仍有不少人无法做到，让我帮助把事情变得简单一些。我会尝试通过让你做一个心理锻炼来解除盲目的偏见。如果林书豪高中毕业时没有受到部分人的歧视，一个好的篮球规划将让他的职业篮球之路变得更好，根据他高中打球时的成绩（例如，带领球队获得州冠军），如果进了一所好的篮球大学，正如他应得的，他将不会是选秀将会成功，甚至可能会是首轮秀，如果他在第一轮就被选中了，他将不会成为饮水机管理员并不停流离失所...或者我们可以忘记这整个假想的替代方案，只要想想，如果用一个稍微客观点的方式来看待林的统计数据的话（艾德维兰德教练曾经做到过的，林的高中教练？），林也应该在选秀的时候很早就被选中，因为他是2010年那年最好的大学生球员之一，然后这会被视作一种奇迹，因为只有真正的天才才会在第一轮被选中，不是出自篮球名门？真的吗？那这家伙一定是出类拔萃！从一开始，林的期望就会很高了，如果一切都是这样的话，那所有人都会觉得一直质疑林获得的成功是非常愚蠢的行为，相反，人们会不断期待他越来越多的证明他是货真价实的！或者面对他压倒性的数据，人们会觉得司空见惯和理所当然，人们会把林的出色表现看作是他在第一轮就被选中的有力证据，而且，人们会把林首发的那26场比赛作为样本，以此来论证林书豪就是联盟里最好的控卫之一。我的意思是，他作为首发的头7场比赛的表现已经超越了历史上所有最伟大的控球后卫！你还想要他怎么来证明？”

My hope isthat BrookLin will finally give Lin the opportunity to finally open everyone’seyes to what he is capable of. Being a Lin fan, it feels a little like you’resurrounded by people who think the world is flat and look at you like you’rethe insane one. By next year, people will realize that Lin fans aren’t theinsane ones, although they’ll never admit it publicly.
我的希望是网队给林机会让大家看看，究竟他的上限在哪里!作为一个林蜜！这看起来有点像是被那些认为世界平淡无奇的人们包围着，然后像看一个疯子一样看着你，到了明年，人们会意识到，林的球迷不是疯狂的人，尽管他们永远不会公开承认。

Afteryears of having to defer to other players and being forced to stand in thecorner, waiting for a ball that never gets to him, Lin is finally free to playhis game for an entire season, not just when his teammates are injured. There’sa stat, courtesy of@Tonnny2012that I have pinned on my Twitter account. Itshows that in 33 games without Melo, Harden, Kemba and Batum, Jeremy Linaverages 20.4 points, 6.4 assists and has a 70% win rate. Here’s the raw data:

经过多年被迫迁就其他球员和被迫成为底角男，总是遥遥无期的等待那个永远不会传到自己手里的球的日子一去不复返了，林终于将在新的赛季中得到真正的机会放开手脚大杀四方！而不是因为他的队友受伤了的缘故...这里有个数据，托@Tonnny2012 的福我已经放到自己的推特上了，数据显示，在没有安东尼、哈登、肯巴沃克和巴图姆的比赛中，林书豪场均获得20.4分，6.4个助攻和大概70%的胜率，以下是原数据：
