Jeremy Lin: Tyson Chandler‘s Negative Comments Toward Rockets PG Make No Sense - Alex Kay

　　Jeremy Lin is now a member of the Houston Rockets and being handsomely compensated for the point guard skills he displayed over an epic 25-game stretch with the New York Knicks.

　　Lin现在已经加入火箭队，并且因为去年在纽约这25场的好表现拿到一份好合约。

　　However, Tyson Chandler―the Knicks starting center and reigning Defensive Player of the Year―does not believe that Lin is a natural floor general. Chandler told Al Iannazzone of New York Newsday that he felt the 24-year-old couldn’t run the offense properly and thinks the Knicks are better off with the veterans now on the roster.

　　然而，前尼克队友Tyson Chandler，并不相信Lin是一个天生的球场指挥官。这个得到年度最佳防守球员的尼克先发中锋是这样告诉纽约媒体的，他觉得这个24岁的控卫并不能妥善的指挥进攻，反而是今年加入的老将可以让尼克更好。

　　“Jeremy was a young point guard who was inexperienced, who brought a great light to the organization,” Chandler said. “But as far as being able to run the offense and putting players in the right position he just wasn‘t there. We got some veteran point guards that are capable of doing that.“

　　“替这支球队带来了光明的Jeremy，是个没经验的年轻后卫。“Chandler如是说，“但是论到指挥进攻、把人摆到该在的位置上，他功力还不够。我们现在有了几个有经验的老将，他们能够做到。“

　　Considering Lin averaged 7.7 assists as the starting PG in New York (while also contributing 18.2 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.0 steals) and helped lead the team to 15 wins, it is a bit hard to find the merit in Chandler’s words.

　　考虑到Lin担任纽约先发时平均有7.7次助攻(同时也得了18.2分3.7篮板2.0次抄截)，Chandler 的话实在不太能够成立。

　　The center played 23 games during the peak of Linsanity and should know better than anyone that the Knicks were a dangerous team that could hang with any other squad in the league with their Taiwanese-American point guard running the show.

　　Chanlder在Linsanity时跟他一起打了23场比赛，他应该比谁都知道当这个台湾美国人控卫在场上时，尼克是支足以跟联盟任何组合对抗的危险球队。

　　New York elected to let him walk this summer, refusing to match the $25.1 million over three years that Houston GM Daryl Morey offered the restricted free agent. The franchise instead brought back Raymond Felton, signed Jason Kidd and convinced Pablo Prigioni to jump ship to the NBA.

　　纽约今年夏天选择不要留下林书豪，不去Match火箭总管Daryl Morey的毒药合约。最后纽约把前尼克球员Felton跟Jason Kidd签下来，并且说服了阿根廷人Pablo Prigioni跳到NBA。

　　While these guards are decent, Felton is coming off of one of the worst years of his career in Portland, Kidd will reach 40 years of age during the season, and Prigioni is a 35-year-old who isn’t proven stateside.

　　Lin is an upgrade over all of these players and―worst of all―the Knicks didn’t have to choose between the veterans and third-year man out of Harvard. New York could have easily matched Houston’s offer and still acquired Kidd, Felton and Prigioni.

　　当然这些后卫都还不错啦，Felton去年几乎算是生涯最差表现，Kidd今年就要40了，还有Prigioni是个35岁还没在NBA证明过自己的新人。Lin绝对比这三人好，而且最糟糕的是，其实尼克并不是二选一的情形，他们大可以同时签下Lin 跟上述三人。

　　Chandler and the rest of the organization will realize just how much they undervalued Lin and will miss him when the season begins in less than a month.

　　Chandler跟尼克队一个月内就会为他们的错误而后悔了。
