（林書豪對(duì)陣新澤西網(wǎng)隊(duì)的經(jīng)典戰(zhàn)，NBA官方短片回顧）

He is a Harvard graduate playing in the National Basketball Association. He is an Asian-American in a league devoid of them, which makes him doubly anomalous. No team drafted Lin in 2010. Two teams cut him in December, before the Knicks picked him up.
他是NBA賽場(chǎng)上少有的名校哈佛畢業(yè)生，他是聯(lián)盟里少見的亞裔美國(guó)人，這樣雙重特殊身份的林書豪，在2010年NBA新秀大會(huì)上落選，2011年12月先后被金州勇士隊(duì)和休斯敦火箭隊(duì)裁掉，之后紐約尼克斯隊(duì)宣布簽下他。

His contract, potentially worth nearly $800,000, was not even guaranteed until Tuesday afternoon. So for the past six weeks, Lin, 23, has been sleeping in his brother Josh’s living room, waiting for clarity and career security.
尼克斯與他簽下的合同價(jià)值約為80萬(wàn)美元，也許在這之前他持有的是非保障合同，但到周二下午6點(diǎn)（球隊(duì)裁員的截至日子）林書豪的的合同自動(dòng)轉(zhuǎn)為了保障合同，他將安全的留在尼克斯隊(duì)。事實(shí)上在過(guò)去的6周里，23歲的林書豪因?yàn)椴淮_定自己是否能夠繼續(xù)留在紐約，一直寄居在哥哥家當(dāng)沙發(fā)客，等待職業(yè)生涯中保障合同的出現(xiàn)。

On Saturday night, Lin came off the bench and powered the Knicks to a 99-92 victory over the Nets at Madison Square Garden, scoring a career-best 25 points with 7 assists. Two nights later, he made his first N.B.A. start and produced 28 points and 8 assists in a 99-88 win over the Utah Jazz.
上周六的晚上，紐約尼克斯在麥迪遜廣場(chǎng)花園主場(chǎng)迎戰(zhàn)新澤西網(wǎng)隊(duì)，板凳席上的林書豪臨危受命，拿下了職業(yè)生涯最高的25分7助攻，幫助尼克斯99比92戰(zhàn)勝網(wǎng)隊(duì)。兩天后，林書豪獲得NBA的第一次首發(fā)機(jī)會(huì)，在對(duì)陣猶他爵士隊(duì)的比賽中砍下28分8助攻。

Knicks fans now serenade Lin with chants of “Je-re-my!” and “M.V.P.!”. With every game, every precision pass and every clever drive to the basket, Lin is raising expectations, altering the Knicks’ fate and redefining the word “unlikely.” On Twitter, fans and basketball pundits are using another term to describe the phenomenon: “Linsanity.”
麥迪遜廣場(chǎng)花園的球迷們齊聲歡呼“Jeremy”和“MVP”。每一場(chǎng)比賽，每一個(gè)精準(zhǔn)的過(guò)人，每一次聰明的突破，林書豪給球迷們帶來(lái)希望，改變了尼克斯隊(duì)的命運(yùn)，也再次重新定義了“不可能”。在推特上，球迷和籃球權(quán)威人士用Linsanity “為林瘋狂” 這個(gè)標(biāo)簽來(lái)描述這種林書豪熱現(xiàn)象（Linsanity：Lin+insanity）。

Two weeks ago, the 6-foot-3 Lin was not even part of the Knicks’ point-guard rotation, despite their lack of talent at the position. He played sparingly in a few games, showing just enough promise to keep getting another look— a few more minutes, another quarter. But there was never any hint of what was to come.
兩周前，這個(gè)身高1米91的華裔小個(gè)子甚至根本不在尼克斯隊(duì)的控球后衛(wèi)輪轉(zhuǎn)名單中，盡管尼克斯目前在控衛(wèi)的位置缺乏優(yōu)秀的人才。在此之前他只打過(guò)幾場(chǎng)比賽，但他的表現(xiàn)足以讓教練注意到他。慢慢地，他的上場(chǎng)時(shí)間在增加：多了幾分鐘，再打一節(jié)。林書豪的傳奇成功不是無(wú)跡可尋的。

With 25 points Saturday, Lin set the N.B.A. scoring record for a player from Harvard. For an encore, he became the first player in more than 30 years to record at least 28 points and 8 assists in his first N.B.A. start. The last to do so was Isiah Thomas, the Detroit Pistons’ Hall of Fame point guard, in October 1981.
在周六砍下25分的一球成名戰(zhàn)后，林書豪也創(chuàng)下了NBA賽場(chǎng)上哈佛畢業(yè)生的得分記錄。第二場(chǎng)比賽中，他再次創(chuàng)下記錄，成為NBA賽場(chǎng)30多年里首發(fā)首秀拿到28分8助攻的第一人。上次拿到這個(gè)得分的是在1981年10月，底特律活塞隊(duì)伊塞亞·托馬斯（NBA名人堂球員）。

“I don’t think anyone, including myself, saw this coming,” Lin said after the game Monday.
林書豪在周一比賽后表示，“我相信任何人包括我自己在內(nèi)，都沒有預(yù)想到這樣的成績(jī)”。

【滬江小編】神馬叫厚積薄發(fā)，神馬叫永不言棄！林書豪的突然爆紅赤手可熱真是一球成名？那是林小生一直以來(lái)的堅(jiān)持和對(duì)夢(mèng)想的不放棄。這樣的勵(lì)志故事怎么不讓球迷熱血沸騰。對(duì)中國(guó)球迷來(lái)說(shuō)，最高興的莫過(guò)于對(duì)NBA又有了新的期待~~
