哪里去了？
Chris Baldwin的撰文
No one thinks Carmelo Anthony is coming to Houston now (never mind that no
national NBA voice ever thought the Rockets held a legitimate chance of
landing Melo). So Daryl Morey has pivoted to breathlessly pursuing Chris
Bosh, the guy who turned him down for Miami in 2010 and seems poised to do
it again as long as LeBron James keeps his talents in South Beach.
现在没有人认为甜瓜将会来到休斯敦（更遑论在缺乏任何NBA官方认为火箭握有合理机
会迎接甜瓜到来的情况下）。所以莫雷风向一转开始紧跟著追求波士，2010年波士曾为
了热火而拒绝他，而且现在只要詹姆士将他的天赋留在热火，波士似乎也仍选择跟著留
队。
And Jeremy Lin's supposed to be the biggest loser in this situation? Please.
Not even close.
而林书豪应该是这状况下最大的输家？拜托。还差得远了。
The Rockets fancy themselves as the NBA's next hot team, but they're coming
across as more than a little desperate this summer.
火箭在幻想他们是NBA下一支火热的球队，但今年夏天他们所带来的将不过只是绝望罢
了。
Reality bites, but it didn't have to be this way. An unmistakable takeaway
from the Rockets' bungling beginning to free agency is that the organization
will abandon the class its long been known for to try and flatter any star
not on its roster. And the stars are seeing right through it. And apparently
going home and laughing to themselves.
现实总是残酷，但不见得无法避免。火箭这次追求自由球员的笨拙开场中有个明显的事
实，这个组织总是抛弃他们多年来众所皆知的风度，试图奉承任何一个还不在他们轮替
阵容中的球星。球星们看透这一切。而显然地，他们回家并且嘲笑这一切。
The jersey diss is nothing new. It's par for the course. This is how the
Rockets of Morey and McHale treat Jeremy Lin.
这次的球衣侮辱事件不是什麼新鲜事。就跟平常一样。如同莫雷与麦克海尔如何对待林
书豪。
Do you really think Carmelo Anthony got goosebumps from seeing himself in
Jeremy Lin's No. 7 Rockets jersey?
你真的认为安东尼在看见他自己穿上林的7号球衣之后就感动得全身起鸡皮疙瘩？
That stunt served no constructive purpose whatsoever, unless Morey's purpose
is to force an Omer Asik-like talent dump of Lin after the team finds
itself shut out of the major impact free agents. Then again, maybe Morey
figured the Rockets could get away with any slap at Lin.
做那种噱头不会带来任何有助益的效果，除非莫雷的目的是在发现自己被这些影响力巨
大的自由球员给拒之门外以后，强行抛弃林的天赋，就像对待阿西克一样。又或者，也
许莫雷再次真的认为在赏林任何一个巴掌后，火箭还能侥幸得到强大的自由球员吧。
The blatant, over-the-top disrespect of one of the team's most talented
players came as no surprise to anyone who's really closely followed the
Rockets' treatment of Jeremy Lin. Coach Kevin McHale and Morey have been
doing this type of thing to Lin again and again and again. The best point
guard on the Rockets' roster — one of the guys who actually did choose
Houston by electing to sign that offer sheet as a restricted free agent —
is routinely dissed, discounted and all but dismissed.
这火箭对林如此露骨、做过头的轻蔑，对任何一个真正密切注意火箭如何对待林的人来
说都不意外。麦克海尔与莫雷已经一次又一次再一次地对林做出这种事情。这名火箭轮
替阵容中最好的、以受限制自由球员身份真心投靠火箭的控卫仍被火箭惯常性地轻视、
低估，以及几乎被火箭抛弃。
The difference this time is that NBA free agency is a national story and
other news outlets finally took notice. The Houston media's ignored other
instances of blatant Lin disrespect — and it largely did its best to do so
again in this case. But once the controversy took off nationally — and
internationally — there was no choice but for even the most fawning Rockets
media allies to at least acknowledge it. While doing their best to somehow
try and downplay it.
林的球衣事件和以往不一样状况是，引进自由球员一直是NBA全国性的报导，联盟各队
本身就可获得更多的媒体关注。一直以来休媒忽视其他公然轻蔑林的实例，并且在这次
事件里竭尽所能再一次这麼做。然而一旦本次争议笃定在全国、甚至是全世界爆发开来
，哪怕是最会奉承的休媒们竭尽所能地试图用某种方法将之轻描淡写，至少也得承认它。
Lin himself deserves some credit for finally fighting back publicly, taking
to Twitter and making his feeling of being respected known beyond a shadow
of a doubt. His agents also refused to let the Rockets brain trust get away
with a seemingly outright lie, coming right out and saying the organization'
s claim that Lin was informed beforehand about the Anthony jersey plan is
false.
林在终於公开反击这件事情上值得一些嘉许，他开始透过推特表达他那除了不被信任的
抑郁之外，还有不被尊重的感受。他的经纪人也拒绝让火箭用一个表面上看来彻彻底底
的谎言侥幸逃过一劫，立刻出面并表示火箭所谓宣称已事先告知林的安东尼球衣计画一
事为假。
Still, the Lin Only Haters try to somehow make him the bad guy in the story,
casting him as something of an oversensitive baby for reacting to a slight
that would deeply offend any professional athlete with a pulse.
尽管如此，林黑们试图用某种方式让林塑造成本次事件的坏人，影射林是一个对这件小
事过度敏感的不成熟小孩，殊不知这很可能会伴随著冲击并伤害任何一个职业运动员。
But a funny thing's happening. The campaign isn't working. The Rockets are
only hurting themselves with their petty ways. Things are going to work out
fine for Jeremy Lin.
但是有趣的事情发生了。这次莫雷与林黑们的作战计画并不管用。火箭反而因为他们气
度狭小的作风伤害到自己。而对林来说事情正要好转。
Jeremy Lin's Future Team
林的未来球队
If Lin gets jettisoned to Philadelphia, he ends up back with Sam Hinkie, one
guy in the Rockets front office who really seemed to relish signing Lin in
the first place. (Hinkie, now the 76ers general manager, is the one who
memorably saved the Golden Nugget pen that Lin used to scrawl his signature
on that offer sheet with Houston.)
如果林被交易到76人，他终将与辛基重聚，一个当初在火箭行政团队里看起来真正欣赏
林的人。（辛基似乎还收藏著林当时签下25M/3y约那支标有丹佛金块的笔）
Milwaukee would be a more troublesome destination because of the reckless
turm oil egomaniac Jason Kidd's already created with his coup, but at least
Kidd appreciates the value of a point guard who shares the basketball.
雄鹿将会是个比较棘手的目的地，因为鲁莽、引起骚动、自大的基德透过他出乎意料的
举动建立起一席之地，但基德会欣赏一个愿意分享球的控卫。
The Houston Rockets aren't just in danger of losing free agency. They're in
danger of losing their reputation for class.
火箭不只陷入无法引进自由球员的危机，更因其作风陷入了失去名誉的危机。
Regardless, there is no way Jeremy Lin could end up with less of a real
opportunity than he has in Houston.
无论如何，林最终可能得到比在休士顿更多的机会。
The Rockets, on the other hand, could easily emerge from the fiasco, having
messed up a good team. If Lin's traded away and another difference maker
perimeter player isn't added, McHale's team will suffer even if Bosh somehow
joins Dwight Howard in the frontcourt. If the Rockets lose Lin and don't
add any new players with all-star potential anywhere, it's a complete
disaster.
另一方面，火箭很有可能轻易地显出完全失败并且搞砸一支好球队。如果林被交易同时
没有补进一个具有决策能力的外线球员，就算波士最终以某种方式加入了有霍华德前场
的这支球队，麦克海尔执教的球队还是会吃足苦头。若火箭失去林的同时没有补进任何
具有全明星潜力的新球员，这将会是一次彻彻底底的失败。
Jeremy Lin's sitting in a better position than the Rockets.
林正处在一个比火箭队更好的位置上。
NBA players notice how organizations treat their players. It doesn't matter
what anyone thinks of Lin's talent level or his ceiling in this case. The
Rockets' callous disregard for a productive player is what reverberates
around the league.
NBA球员们会注意到这些球团是如何对待他们的球员。这次事件与如何看待林的天赋程
度或林有多大能耐无关。火箭队冷酷无情地漠视一个对球队有贡献的球员才是引起整个
联盟回响的主因。
Kyle Lowry responded to Morey's rather pathetic attempt to woo him back —
after McHale drove him out of town — by using it to get a better contract
from the team he truly wants to play with it. Carmelo doesn't have the
Rockets in his final cut of contenders.
洛瑞回应了莫雷那相当讨人厌的企图，为了在麦克海尔惹恼他赶出休斯敦之后又争取他
回来，利用了这个事件得到一份来自能让洛瑞真心效力的球队更好的合约。
Who's next?
谁是下一个？
Chandler Parsons is close with Lin. You don't think Parsons will think about
how the Rockets treated Lin, how everyone but Howard and James Harden are
nothing but disposable numbers in Houston, when the Dallas Mavericks put a
monster-sized offer sheet in front of him?
帕森斯与林关系密切。你不认为当小牛在帕森斯面前端出一纸巨大合约时，他也会思考
火箭是如何对待林，以及考量到在火箭除了霍华德与哈登以外的任何人，都不过只是用
完即丢的号码吗？
The Houston Rockets aren't just in danger of losing free agency. They're in
danger of losing their reputation for class.
火箭不只陷入无法引进自由球员的危机，还因为作风而陷入失去信誉的危机。
What's it going to take for Leslie Alexander to step in? When will the voice
of the owner be heard?
是时候需要莱斯利·亚历山大介入了吗？这位球队老板什麼时候才会发声？
Alexander pushed Morey to sign Lin to that $25.1 million offer sheet in the
first place. He believed when others didn't. He's a link to championships
past.
最初亚历山大催促莫雷签下林这笔2510万美元的合约。在当初其他人不相信林的时候，
他相信林会是通往昔日冠军的一个连结。
How low does this franchise have to go before he's heard?
在亚历山大听见之前，这支球队还能向下沈沦到什麼程度呢?
