占座！

A few guys who had had a few drinks were getting worked up about having bet some money on a match at SPiN Standard in LA... winning money and then quickly losing it. One guy was upset and shouting that he was hustled. I said “you weren’t hustled. You just got to play two matches for free. A hustler takes your money... this guy just got his friend’s money back. You broke even.” After calming him down a bit, I explained my role at SPiN and he asked if I could hit with him for a few minutes so I said “sure.”
在洛杉矶，有几个家伙喝了一点儿， 趁着酒兴打算来玩几场，并带着彩头。。。。赢几个小钱，再输回去。有一个家伙玩着玩着急了，叫嚷着他被坑了。我说“你也没有被坑，你不过是不花钱玩了两场。其他人拿了你的钱，其实不过是帮他的朋友把钱拿回去而已。你不过是不亏不赚。”我把他安抚了一阵，解释了我在SPiN的角色，他于是问我是否可以和他来打几分钟，我说好吧。

I was just keeping the ball on the table, even when he missed the table or hit it off of the floor and wasn’t really thinking about it but just sort of talking to the guys in his group and him while we were playing. Apparently they found it amusing that I was very casual while their friend was running around and sweating.
我于是想办法一直把球打回球台上，就算他把球打出界，打到地板上反弹回来，我并没有想太多，只是一边在跟这个家伙打球边和他的同伙们聊天。他们感觉这个很好玩，因为我好整以暇，而他们的同伴却手忙脚乱的都出汗了。
I then noticed that there was a group of about 8 people watching from the side and they seemed really entertained. They were laughing, smiling, pointing and clearly talking about me. I figured I should keep it up and maybe do a few more entertaining tricks. I look over and a see a guy in glasses who looks a LOT like Jeremy Lin. From this point on, I had a huge smile on my face because I had a strong feeling it in fact WAS Jeremy Lin.
这个时候我注意到了另一伙儿人，有大约8个人，在旁边看着这里，很感兴趣的样子。他们笑着，指点着，明显的在谈论我。我觉得我应该再继续努力，再来几手绝活儿。我看过去，注意到有个家伙戴着眼镜，看上去有点儿像林书豪。这个时候开始，我脸上就露出了掩饰不住的笑容，因为我有很强烈的感觉，这个人就是林书豪。

这篇文章是被放在哪里的文章??

Now for those of you who’ve been in touch with me on FB for over a year, you KNOW how strong my Linsanity was. I was watching Jeremy Lin highlights and interviews every day for a while. So the group gets up and starts to walk out. I am always trying to get better about going for what I want and not letting opportunities pass... so I immediately told the dude I was hitting with “just a minute” and walked over to the tall Asian guy with glasses.
如果你们跟我有过接触或者跟过我的脸书超过一年，你就会知道我是超级林粉。我很有一段时间天天看林的高光录像。这个时候这伙人站起来准备走了。我是一个不达目的不罢休的人，绝不放过任何的好机遇。。。。所以我马上跟和我打球的人说，“等我一下”，然后走向高个子戴眼镜的那个亚洲人。
“Excuse me, would I be able to get a picture with you?” “Sure!” he said. I asked the drunk guy I was playing with if he could take the picture for me. Right after the picture he says “hey! What’s your name?” and the tall Asian guy with glasses says “Jeremy.” The drunk guy screams “OMIGOD!!!!!!!!!! It’s JEREMY LIN!!!!!! It’s JEREMY LIN!!!!!!!!” Then Jeremy came back over to me and said “So I have a friend who’s really into ping pong and I want him to play you. He might be coming over tonight. But I think you’re too good for him” I said “No problem. We can just hit for fun... whatever you guys want... I’ll make it fun.” So I gave him my sticker/card and said “if you need anything, let me know.” We high-fived and Jeremy and his group headed out.
“对不起，请问我可以和您一起照张像么？”“当然！”他说。我请那个和我打球喝得快醉了的家伙帮我照相。照完照片他嚷到“嗨，你叫什么名字？”那个高个子戴眼镜的亚裔说“杰米。”那个醉鬼嚷起来“天啊！！！！！林书豪！！！！你是林书豪！！！！！！！！！！！！！！”然后林书豪过来跟我说：“我有一个朋友很喜欢乒乓，我想让他和你打一场。他可能几天晚上能过来。不过我觉得你比他强太多了。”我说“没问题。我们可以打着玩。。。。。随便你们想怎么玩法。。。。我会让我们玩的很开心。”然后我就给他我的名片，然后说，“有什么问题，找我”。我们击掌，然后林书豪一伙儿就离开了。

还有吗

Afterwards, I asked Jeremy to play. As always, he was very humble and said “I am not very good. My friend you just played is much better.” Well, Jeremy and I played a bunch and he was pretty impressive. He could handle some spin, had good touch and as you can imagine... could hit the ball pretty hard against a lob. He then asked me to give him 3 crazy serves because his friends were ready to go. The first one jumped and hit him in the stomach and he blurted “WHAT?!?!?! What was THAT!” and both he and his group were laughing. Then he hit one that went way off into some couches and the third one he popped up and I pulled back like I was going to hit it hard, he covered himself and I softly dropped the ball on the table. Everyone laughed, I walked over and gave Jeremy a high-five and a hug. He said “thanks for taking the time to entertain us and play with us” and of course I said “no problem. My pleasure.” Him and his friends asked for more stickers/business cards and one guy told me he recognized me from college which was pretty cool. And that is what happened on a random Tuesday night at SPiN Standard.
后来，我让林书豪上来玩。和往常一样，他很谦虚的说“我打的不是很好，刚你打球的那个朋友比我打的好多了。”不过，林书豪还是和我玩了几场，他的技术还不赖。他可以接胡旋球，手感不错，你可以继续往下想像。。。。。抽球还挺狠。 他后来让我给他发3个高难度的发球，因为他的朋友们要准备走了。第一个球弹起来弹到了他的肚子上，他嘟囔着“怎么搞的？这是怎么回事？！”他和他的朋友们都大笑起来。他又接了一个球，球转飞到了沙发边上，第三个球他接了过来，我拉开架势要使劲儿抽一把，他做好接球的准备，没想到我却轻轻的把球点过网。所有人都笑起来，我走过去，跟林书豪击掌拥抱。他说“谢谢你花时间陪我们玩”，我当然回答“没问题，我很荣幸”。他和他的朋友们又要了几张我的名片，还有一个家伙说他在大学的时候认识我，实在太好了。这就是一个普通的星期二晚上在SPin Standard发生的意见不普通的事。

《Bleacher Report》的这篇文章分析Lin的数据，认为Lin在2012-13赛季面对新组合新打法，调整自己，日见进步， 从例行赛的后面几场，尤其2月份的掌控节奏，可以发现Lin的能力大有可为。 改进不稳定缺点， 搭配2大球星， 新赛季让人期待！！
Lin 官网连结这篇文章，相信Lin 也相信自己可以达成。大家多转po， 别忘了到官网按赞！
