Back in Houston, Lin Already Feels at Home

回到了休士頓，林已經有了家的感覺。

HOUSTON - The schedule says it all. The Houston Rockets, coming off a 34-32
season but with Jeremy Lin now a member of the team, have a nationally
televised Christmas-night game in Chicago this season. Anyone wonder why?

休斯頓--賽程表說明瞭一切。休斯頓火箭，從上賽季的34-32戰績走來，在他們獲得了林書
豪後，獲得了一場聖誕夜在芝加哥的全國直播的比賽。有沒有人想過這是為什麼？

"We wouldn't be getting a Christmas game if it wasn't for Jeremy Lin," guard
Shaun Livingston said as the Rockets held media day on Monday to open their
training camp. Livingston is right. Aside from Lin, the 2012-13 Rockets' roster
is rather bland as well as young. Eleven of the 20 players are rookies or
second-year players. In that sense, the 24-year-old Lin, a 6-foot-3-inch point
guard with all of 64 games of N.B.A. experience, fits right in. And his
teammates seemed to enjoy talking, and joking, about him.


passing me the ball and I hit a shot and they say, 'Jeremy Lin to Jeremy Lamb,'
 " said Lamb, a rookie out of Connecticut. "Or the other way around when I pass
it to him, because he's a great shooter."



In 35 games (25 starts) with the Knicks last season, Lin averaged 14.6 points
and 6.2 assists a game. More than that, he became a national, phenomenon, the
Lin in Linsanity, which, in the end, did not last all that long because, over
the summer, the Knicks did not match the Rockets' free-agent contract offer.



So now Lin is in Houston, where he seemed at home as he talked to reporters. "I
had a lot of fun last year, and I'm having a lot of fun now," he said.
"For me, I see this as just the beginning. I've played only 64 games. I'm very
young and learning."



In a sense, the Rockets are learning, too, as they try to determine how best to
use their new star.
"We've got to figure out what he does really well and get more of that, and
what he doesn't do well, we'll have other people do that," said Kevin McHale,
the Rockets' coach.

從某種意義上說，火箭也處在學習中，比如他們要找到辦法如何把林書豪這個明星球員最
佳地利用起來。
"我們必須找到林書豪真正擅長的方面，讓他多做這方面的事情，然後找到他做得不太好的
方面，我們會讓其他的球員來做這方面的事情，"火箭主教練麥克海爾表示。

This is actually Lin's second stint with the Rockets. Last December, he was in
Houston's training camp for 12 days as the N.B.A. prepared for a
lockout-delayed start to the season. The Knicks then claimed him off waivers on
Dec. 27.
Lin said his discussions with the Rockets this past summer, as they
successfully recruited him away from the Knicks, gave him some idea of what to
expect from McHale.

這其實是林第二次來到火箭隊。去年12月，他在火箭訓練營待了12天，那時NBA在準備一個
因停擺而延遲的賽季。尼克斯隊在12月27日讓他免於被裁。
林說了他過去這個夏天與火箭隊的商討，火箭隊成功地從尼克斯挖到了林，並給了他一些
可以從麥克海爾那裡得到的期望

As to what to expect from other N.B.A. players, who may think he has not really
earned the fame and fortune he has quickly built, Lin seemed unconcerned.
"It's out of my control," Lin said. "I'm going to play the same whether there's
a target on my back or not."

談到NBA中其他球員可能會對他持有的看法──那些也許覺得他並不是真正配得上現在這樣
的名聲和財富的人──林書豪似乎不在乎。
"這不是我能夠控制的事情，"林書豪說道，"我還會繼續一樣的表現，無論我的後背是不是
會成為別人的標靶。"

Then there are his teammates, who do not seem jealous at all.
"Everything he got last year he never asked for," forward Chandler Parsons said.
"The way he carries himself, I have the upmost respect for him, and the guys
embrace that and respect that and want to be around it. I love that he's in
Houston."

而他的隊友們，看起來一點都不嫉妒他。


Shooting guard Kevin Martin added, "He's the guy I'm looking at to relieve a
lot of pressure off me."
Lin said he thought playing with the Rockets again would be fun "because we're
talented."
"And I've been playing with the guys in the off-season," he said. "They're
definitely talented."

分衛凱文馬丁補充道："他是那種我想要的，可以讓我減輕很多壓力的球員。"
林說他認為和再次和火箭隊一起打球會很有趣，"因為我們有天賦。"
"並且我和這些傢夥在休賽期一起打過球，"他說："他們絕對有天賦。"

New York already seems to be fading into the distance.

紐約似乎已經遠遠地消逝在背景之中了...
