下面是NBA傳奇巨星 "The Logo" Jerry West 對林書豪的看法

: Jerry West on Jeremy Lin: “My God, he’s a tremendous player”
: Posted by Tim Kawakami on February 12th, 2012 at 1:14 pm | Categorized as NBA, Warriors
: * Programming note: I also spoke to Jerry West about the Warriors’
:  performance so far and whether he feels he’s being listened to by
:  Joe Lacob and the front office. (He says they talk to him all the
: time, but added that he will be in the Bay Area more once this year
: ’s Northern Trust Open at Riviera concludes a week from today;
: West is the event’s executive director.)
: But there’s so much interest in Lin, I’ll keep this to JW on JL
: and peel off the Warriors-centric stuff for a later item.

上面和林書豪無關，所以有點懶得翻

: -If you know Jerry West, you know he loves great basketball and he
:  especially loves the players who create those moments and shake up
:  the sports world.

如果你認識 West 的話，你一定會知道他非常熱愛籃球。但他更是熱愛那些創
造出撼動人心，改變世界的球員。

: If you know West, you know he has to love Jeremy Lin, right?
: “My God, he’s a tremendous player,” West said this morning of the
: Knicks’ guard, by way of Palo Alto High, Harvard, the Warriors
: and Rockets.

所以 West 一定會超愛 Jeremy Lin 對吧?
"我的老天啊！他真的是個傑出的球員" West 說。

: West was in Southern California talking to me by phone, so I wasn’
: t looking at him, but if he wasn’t beaming and shaking his head at
:  the same time, I’d be shocked.

因為這是用電話進行訪談，但是我卻可以感受到他正得意的笑著。

: “I thought he was a very good player,” West said of Lin, “but as
:  I’ve watched him, it’s like a Cinderella story.
: “Really a feel-good story, how hard he’s worked, how dedicated he
: ’s been. Obviously his parents have been very supportive of him…
: I watched him play last night (in a victory over Minnesota). I said
:  to myself, ‘Jesus Christ Almighty, where’d this guy come from?’
: ”

"我一開始就覺得他是個不錯的球員，但是經過一場一場比賽的歷練後，這已經是
彷彿灰姑娘般的故事了！這故事真的讓人很感動，特別是他如此的認真，如此的
專注。他的家人也一路到底的支持他.....我昨晚看他跟灰狼的比賽時候，不禁問
我自己，老天啊！這傢伙到底是從哪冒出來的?"

: West said he only met Lin briefly, years ago, and that he didn’t
:  scout Lin’s college career at Harvard.
: But watching Lin play with the Knicks in five memorable games–and
:  just four starts–West said it’s safe to conclude that Lin has
: already proven himself on the NBA level.

West 表示他在一年前有和書豪碰過面，但是當時並沒有去研究他在哈佛的比賽。
但在看完五場比賽後，West 很篤定的表示林書豪已經在 NBA 證明他自己的實力了。

: “He’s just so clever,” West said. “He doesn’t overwhelm you
: with athleticism. But he’s plenty athletic. He’s just so clever,
:  a little subtle change of direction.
: “If you watch, Chris Paul looks like he’s out there going to
: sleep playing basketball, just little subtle shifts and maneuvers
: with the ball.

"他真的是太聰明了。雖然他有不錯的體能條件，但是他卻不會硬是用體能來吃你。
他懂得如何用頭腦打球。CP3 也是如此，他打球雖然看起來都沒有什麼在思考，但是
他卻會改變一些小地方去掌控節奏。"

: “(Lin)’s not as gifted with the ball as Paul, but he’s really a
:  very clever player. He’s hard to read defensively; teams are
: putting different defensive players on him, and he just goes by
: them.

"書豪雖然並沒有像 CP3 這般的天份，但他也是個非常聰明的球員。防守上你很
難去解讀他，對手就算派不同的球員去盯他，他還是可以輕鬆的切過去。"

: “It’s great to watch, I’ll say that.”

"反正，看他打球真的很棒就是了！"

: Interestingly, while West was more than happy to talk about Lin and
:  all things Lin-sanity, he laughed and immediately cut me off when
: I asked one specific question:
: Did the Warriors’ front office check with their most famous exec-
: board member before the team released Lin on the first day of
: training camp this season?
: “I don’t want to go there,” West said, with a chuckle. A pause.
:  “Just: No comment.”

雖然我跟 West 聊林式旋風聊得很嗨，但當我問到他該不該為林書豪被釋出負責
的時候(West是勇士隊幕後決策人員之一)，West 卻不爭氣的笑了出來。"我不想
談這個，這沒什麼好談的。"

: We’ll have to make our own judgment on that one, then, but read
: what he has to say about Lin and I think West’s view is clear on
:  this one.

這留下了耐人尋味的想像空間，但隨著訪談的進行，你就可以更了解他當時的想法。

: “So many times in sports we write and care about the guys who
: started out with a lot of attention,” West said. “This is
: something all kids should look at. It’s about more than him. He’
: s living his dreams through adverse conditions…
: “I don’t know him, wasn’t aware of him. My son Ryan (a scout
: with the Lakers) liked him in college because of the way he played.
:  I wish I knew him as a player.”

"在體育界，有太多的時候我們總是關注那個一開始就非常成功的選手。林書豪
在艱困環境中永不放棄的追夢，是每個小孩都要學習。我當年並不知道他，也沒
有發覺他的存在。我兒子 Ryan (湖人隊球探)在他大學的時候就很喜歡他打球的
方式了。唉~我希望我也可以早點認識這個球員。"

: So, Jerry, is Lin destined to remain an NBA starting lead guard?
: More West laughter, like he couldn’t believe the question. He
: possibly muttered a few words under his breath, but he did it
: merrily.
: “I definitely think he’s a starter,” West said finally.
: So what happens with the Knicks when Carmelo Anthony and Amare
: Stoudemire get back into the line-up?

最後我問了 West，林書豪到底能不能成為 NBA 的先發控衛呢？此時 West 又笑了
，他似乎不能相信我會問這種蠢問題。他開心的操了幾句話後跟我說 "我絕對認
為他可以打先發"。那 Melo 和阿罵回來後，到底能不能打起來呢？


: “I don’t know, but I see a completely different energy level
: (with Lin),” West said. “And maybe they need to play a
: different way. This kid has contributed something special.
: “I hope it continues.”

"我不知道，但我在書豪身上看到股巨大的能量，或許他們要改變他們打球
的方式。這小子為球隊帶來了很特別的東西。我希望他能持續的發光發熱。"



又一個 NBA 傳奇感染到Linsanity了！接下來我猜換老巴說話囉! XD

:     Tim, here’s a possible news scoop for you. I believe Lin worked on

:  How in the h311 is Lacob utilizing Mr. West? We need his eye for

:     That’s great that he’s saying nice things about Lin after the
:  fact, but he, like many of us, didn’t know Lin and/or didn’t
: think Lin was going to succeed so fast like he is right now. And
: like he said, just like Mark Jackson, they didn’t know about Lin
: even when they were brought on board for the season.

:     Why West doesn’t have a say in every potential move is
: ridiculous! He’s being paid by us – use him! He is brilliant.
: -------------------------------
:     West says:
:     February 12th, 2012 at 5:21 pm
:     I don’t think the “hard working” comment is racial at all.
:  If you read enough or listen to enough commentary, most experts
: comment on the “hard work” of most of the top athletes in all
: sports. Given that Lin made it to the NBA as a starter, I think it
:  goes without saying that he is world-class and gifted.

:     Our Team, his shot is so much better this year. His form has

: prayers. Now even his 3 pt shot looks solid. He was straight ballin

:     @#3 Niners Team of the 80′s
:     Jerry West’s role in front office is to praise Lacob’s wisdom
:  and endorse Lacob’s decisions.
