These things will happen to Jeremy Lin from time to time.The Charlotte Hornets beat the Washington Wizards 101-87 on a crazy 25-2 run toclose the game, but it had mostly to do with other players, even if Lin didplay better than his box score suggests. Too bad good defense doesn’t show up there for themost part.
-----------------------
這些事將會不時發生在林身上。黃蜂隊以一波瘋狂的25比2((得分潮))終結比賽，擊敗了巫師隊，但這波得分大多是與其它球員有關，即便林發揮得確實比計分表所顯示的來得好，但很可惜，好防守大多並不會顯示在數據上。

The news before the game was about Steve Clifford gettingan extension. Lin was riding high on momentum from the previous game andgenerally from more minutes in recent games, making the most of them generally.However, he did make some bad decisions on offense against the Wizards and withClifford needing points and quickly, just like in the previous overtime win,Lin, usually the team’s smartest player on offense, became expendable.
-----------------------
賽前的新消息是客服得到了續約。林因著前一場比賽及近幾場比賽較多的上場時間而氣勢高亢，大致來說也都好好的發揮了。然而，他在對戰巫師時確實做了一些進攻上不好的選擇，而在客服亟需快速取分…就像前一場贏了球的加時賽那樣…的情況下，林…通常是球隊進攻上最聰明的球員…就成了可以犧牲的球員。

With the Hornets going through a nice little home run, itseems the Charlottecrowd is getting more and more into things, despite the beginning of somethingthat’susually more important in North Carolina,college basketball season. The team playing some exciting basketball with wildfinishes of late and giving much more than before on defense has helpedgenerate more enthusiasm than before: The fans are great for us. They’ve done a great job tosupport us and keep us in the game, so we can’t do anything without them. We’re going to try andprotect this house for a long time.

黃蜂正在經歷一波很不錯的小勝潮，儘管一般對於北卡羅納來說是更重要一些的大學籃球季開打了，但黃蜂的觀眾看起來是愈來愈投入了。黃蜂近期打出了一些末節瘋狂而令人興奮的籃球，並且比以前在防守上付出了更多，這些都幫著催生出了比以前來得更多的熱情：”我們的球迷很棒。他們在支持我們、讓我們咬住比賽這些做得非常棒，所以我們少了他們就寸步難行。我們會一直努力保護我們這個家。”

Besides Lin playing good defense (but not getting creditfor it and his two blocks because of the final push happening without him), itwas another game showing how important Marvin Williams can be for the team(Despite his offense on most nights) and Batum’s obviously, with both is perimeter defense andpassing (shooting just 5-of-15 from the field) indispensable at this point forthe Hornets. Clifford compared Williams to Kidd-Gilchrist, and the Hornets, forthe most part, haven’t missed their previously best player defensively, who isout until March and maybe even later.
-----------------------
除了林打出很好的防守之外(但因為最後一波攻擊並沒有他，因此他很好的防守和二記蓋帽都沒得到表揚)，這是又一場證明馬文對這支球隊以及很顯然對於巴圖姆能有多重要的比賽(不去管馬文多數比賽的進攻表現)，馬文的外線防守和傳球(投籃僅有15投5中)對此時的黃蜂是不可或缺的。客服拿馬文和基德吉爾克里斯特相比，而黃蜂隊，多數的情況下，也沒有懷念他們以前最佳防守球員(這位會缺賽到三月或更久)。
=============================
(不太會表達…我腦補末段意思應該是在說，黃蜂目前大多數的比賽中，馬文的好防守，讓人並不會特地去想起麥吉吉需要快些回來的事…)

The only concern from this game is that it hits Lin’s minutes again. Forsome reason he’salways a player that has his standing in the rotation and hierarchy fluctuate from game to game instead of being viewed with a more macro kind of view. Inthis occasion Jeremy Lamb was the one from the bench who provided the spark,scoring a team-high 18 points while Nicolas Batum helped with 16 points and 11assists, Walkerfinished with 16 and both Al Jefferson and Marvin Williams added 14 each.Clifford knows how important Lin is. He just needs to let this bad offensiveperformance be forgotten, because in the long run, it’s meaningless.
-----------------------
這場比賽中唯一要擔憂的又是林的上場時間。不知為何，他一直都是那種在輪換中擁有其地位但其層級卻場場變動的球員，而沒被人以更宏觀的視角來看待他。在這種情況下，蘭姆是那個提供火花的替補球員，拿了全隊最高的18分；巴圖姆拿了16分11助攻，沃克得16分，而Al和馬文雙雙拿了14分。客服知道林有多重要。林只需要讓人遺忘他這次不好的進攻表現，因為就長期而言，這((單場進攻不佳))一點也不重要。
