Jeremy Lin, Brooklyn Nets & Defining Success Next Season

針對林書豪與籃網隊, 我們來定義一下下季怎樣算成功

The Brooklyn Nets are a popular choice for many to post the worst record in
the NBA next season, despite the additions of Jeremy Lin and many others on a
basically brand new team. This had me thinking about trying to define what
would be a successful season, for Lin as an individual, and for the Nets as a
team trying to build something new.

對許多想大書特書下季NBA最糟糕紀錄的人來說, 籃網是一個很受歡迎的主題選擇, 縱使
新球季多了林書豪, 並且新球季籃網基本上可說是支全新的球隊. 這使我想試試看去定義
一下, 對林書豪個人以及重建中的籃網隊來說, 下季怎樣能算是個成功的球季

It’s hard to think about Lin this way because he represents something
completely different. Lin isn’t a player who will put up big numbers while
his team bottoms out. His success often means everyone around him playing
better, and more wins. VORP is a way to measure it in basketball, something
similar to WAR in baseball, although not exactly, and it’s a different
sport, so like many attempts to define things through analytics, it can often
miss the target completely.

很難直接這樣去評斷林書豪, 因為他在球場上的表現方式跟大家不一樣, 林書豪不是位
球隊被打爆時自己還能繳出亮眼數據的球員, 他的成功往往代表著他周遭的隊友們都打
得較往常更好, 他個人的成功也代表著球隊獲得更多勝利. 如同棒球界採用的WAR數據
, VORP也是個可以在籃球上進行有效測量的數據, 但畢竟是不同的運動所以沒那麼精確
, 所以對於許多想透過分析來定義些事情的人來說, VORP常常會失準偏離了目標

We spoke about Lin’s numbers in a couple of posts (Stats, shooting %), but we
’ll use broader strokes to try and define a successful season here, which
for the first time has something to do with how mass media, or simply the New
York one, perceives his performances.

我們會用統計跟出手命中率之類的來談論林書豪的數據, 但今天我們將採用更寬闊的筆
觸來試著定義一下下季怎樣算成功, 尤其是主要媒體跟紐約人如何看待林書豪的表現

Holding on to his starting role for the entire season shouldn’t be taken for
granted, because anything can happen in the NBA, but that alone won’t be a
success. Those who have followed Lin over the years expect a lot more from
him. He expects a lot more from himself. He doesn’t have to be the team’s
go-to-guy all the time; Brook Lopez is probably going to be the top scorer.
But Lin establishing himself as the main option in crunch time to make the
right decision with the ball is a must. Making the All-Star game is possible,
more than ever before, and getting that kind of recognition would be a major
step forward. All-NBA teams? Maybe that’s thinking too far ahead, but more
spotlight on Lin could finally place him in the right kind of recognition
position in terms of his defense. Lin helped shed away that old wives tale
about him being a defensive liability last season, but still, not too many
people know about him capable of being a lockdown defender, his fantastic
timing on steals and blocks, and his ability to help anchor a defense along
with another stopper.

整季都是以先發PG出賽不應該被視為理所當然, 因為在NBA裡任何事都有可能發生, 但
縱使林書豪真的整季都是先發PG, 這也算不上成功. 長年關愛林書豪比賽的球迷們想要
看到他更多的好表現, 林書豪自己則期待的要來的更多.

林書豪不必總是得成為籃網的頭號得分手, 這位置應該會是由Brook Lopez來扛, 但關
鍵時刻時林書豪去把自己視為攻擊指揮的頭號選項則是個必須.

參加全明星賽會是可能的, 能獲得出賽All Star的資格也是生涯的一大進展

入選全明星隊? 或許現在想這個太過頭了些, 但新球季更多的鎂光燈照在林書豪身上將
會讓大家真正的認識到林書豪的防守, 上一季林書豪成功甩脫掉他不是個好防守者的劣
名, 但仍然有很多人不清楚林書豪有能力成為防守大鎖, 他在抄截跟封蓋上有著很棒的
判斷時機, 也有能力去跟隊友做好協防

There are two levels to this: Wins, and the development and production of Lin
’s teammates, which connects to the individual success perception. The Nets
don’t have to make the playoffs for this season to be a good one, although
it won’t hurt. What they do have to do is show progress compared to last
year, and that the Sean Marks-Kenny Atkinson combination is taking them in
the right direction. The Timberwolves improved by 13 wins to 29 last season,
and they are one of the most (over?) hyped teams heading into the next
season. After the Nets won 21 games in 2015-2016, I’m guessing 30 wins is a
magic number to make the people running the show feel good about where this
is going.

球隊勝場數 & 林書豪隊友們的發揮這兩個要點, 直接連結了林書豪個人的成功概率, 籃
網下一季沒必要拼季後賽席次, 大家清楚也不會感到受傷; 下季籃網必須要做的, 是展現
出跟上季不同的進展, 這也是Seam跟阿金聯手想把籃網帶去的正確方向

灰狼上季從上上季的13勝進步到29勝, 新球季更是受到矚目會持續進步; 所以呢, 籃網上
季21勝, 我猜想新球季對籃網來說, 30勝應該就會很夢幻了吧

And what about the players? Lopez was an All-Star in 2013, and in the diluted
East, there’s no reason he shouldn’t be an All-Star. Lin should help him
score over 20 points per game again, and establish himself as one of the best
big men in the NBA, if he isn’t already considered that good by most.
But the Nets aren’t all about Lopez and Lin. There are the wing players,
like Bojan Bogdanovic, Sean Kilpatrick, Caris LeVert and Rondae

至於其他球員, Lopez是2013的全明星, 新球季的東區看來, Lopez沒理由稱不上All Star
, 林書豪應該協助Lopez再次繳出場均20分的數據, 讓他成為NBA的頂級長人之一, 即使
低調的Lopez幾乎沒考慮過這些還是要把他推出去啊 啊 啊~ 但籃網並不只有Brook-Lin,
還有側翼球員們, 像是..剝個蛋 & Kilpatrick & LeVert & Rondae

Hollis-Jefferson that will finally be playing next to a point guard who knows
how to find them in open positions. Improving their 3-point shooting from the
35.2% it was last season (13th in the NBA, not too bad, but not great) will
be a sign there’s not just good shooters on this team, but a point guard who
knows how to make them operate. We can run through the list of players, from
Trevor Booker to Chris McCullough and point out how they will benefit from
having a point guard that has exceptional vision and passing skills. The
bottom line? Lin doesn’t have to make everyone reach their career highs like
Nash once did on the Phoenix Suns, but helping three or four players take
their offense to another level will be fantastic, not just from a
points-assists standpoint, but obviously we’ll see it translate into wins.

RHJ將會跟懂得在他空檔時傳球給他的PG一起上場, 籃網上季的團隊三分35.2%排NBA第13
, 不算壞也不算好, 新球季提升球隊的三分命中率將是個好指標, 證明籃網不僅有好的
射手, 還有位知道該怎樣讓射手們火力充分發揮的控衛.

我們可以把籃網每一名球員拉出來模擬, 就能知道他們都將如何因為有位具備出色球場
視野以及傳球技巧的控衛而受益.

至於五樓問到的底線? 林書豪不需要像當年的Steve Nash般把"所有"隊友都提升到生涯
新高, 林只需要把三四名隊友的攻擊提升到更高層次就很夢幻了, 那時就不僅僅是得分
跟助攻之間的數據關係, 而將會是明顯的轉換成球隊勝場數~

-----------------------------------------------------------

下季的成功指標
(1) 籃網獲得30+勝
(2) 三四名隊友數據創生涯新高

林書豪: 噹噹噹~ 開放助攻報名, 名額有限只有四位喔~ 扣掉Brook只剩下三位喔~~~
