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。)
