2013年4月5日，客場挑戰拓荒者之前，火箭控衛林書豪接受了官網記者賈森-弗里德曼的專訪，訪談中，林書豪談及了球隊的化學反應以及關鍵球的能力，並對個人的表現進行了評價。
弗里德曼：有一天你提到自己堅信這支球隊有某種特別的東西，那麼在你看來，什麼造就了這支特別的球隊？
林書豪：我認為這取決於我們花了多少時間去訓練。通常情況下，你很難相信如此年輕的一支隊伍，可以成為聯盟最具攻擊力的球隊之一。這真的很特別。現在解決防守是另一大課題，我想只要我們肯花時間下功夫會有變化的。
弗里德曼：要去百分百認同這個特別的球風是要花一定時間的，我知道現在每個人都喜歡，但這並不容易。對於任何一個體系，想要建造它，都需要日常訓練中一點一點的去積累，特別是對有著82場比賽的漫長賽季來說，想要球隊每個人都融入到這個體系中，這真的很不容易？
林書豪：一點也沒錯。我完全認同你的看法，這肯定需要足夠的時間。隨著賽季的推進，我們突然發現，“哇，我們現在是支令人恐懼的球隊了。”看到越多我們成功的地方，我們就越相信這一點。
弗里德曼：你認為這個賽季什麼時候讓你認識到了這一點？
林書豪：我想是在12月底，1月初的時候。那時我們12場比賽贏了10場。我們的贏球之道，就是每個人都能參與到進攻中。聖誕節前夕，對灰熊的比賽，那是一場偉大的勝利。它讓我們明白，“好吧，這真的不是偶然發生的。”（那場比賽，火箭主場121比96大勝灰熊，全隊7人得分上雙，全場火箭送出了驚人的32次助攻）。
弗里德曼：賽場之外這種化學反應是如何培養的？
林書豪：大家彼此間互相尊重，此外，大家都是年輕人，有著類似的生活和職業經歷，這讓我們在賽場之外也打成了一遍。大家年紀相仿，所以也更容易在一起。
弗里德曼：跟國王的比賽后，你談論了特倫斯-瓊斯，並深深欣賞他的努力。在這支球隊中，其實有很多球員跟瓊斯一樣。例如二輪秀帕森斯，二輪秀阿西克，甚至沒有參加選秀的格雷格-史密斯，當然也包括了你，哈登在加盟火箭前，同樣是處在雙子星的陰影之下。你認為，相似的背景有助於更好地發生化學反應嗎？
林書豪：確實，我們當中大多數人有種同樣的軌跡。我們每個人都對非常珍惜教練給的機會。我們經歷了低谷，同樣也經歷了高潮，這是一種很好的歷練。
弗里德曼：評價下本賽季你個人的表現吧？
林書豪：這真的是成長的一季。本賽季我有些起起伏伏，所以未來我想要的就是更好的穩定性。
弗里德曼：有一天我們聊天的時候，談到了本賽季你的進步，但你說如果要評分的話，你只給自己評C。為什麼只打C？
林書豪：因為我認為，有些時候我在場上幾乎沒有什麼貢獻，當然有些時候我也打得很不錯。不過，綜合來看，我認為自己的表現只能給C。通常情況下我對自己很苛刻，我想賽季初的時候我的水平只有F，這個賽季我有成長，當總體來看，我的表現只能算平平。
弗里德曼：要看淡自己的數據，你認為是是不是說得容易做起來難？
林書豪：確實。每個人都想打出漂亮的數據。不過，現在賽季還剩下7場比賽，大家都很成熟了。只要球隊贏球，個人表現如何真的不是問題。
弗里德曼：談談季後賽吧，你們現在已經接近完成這個目標了。我記得8月份咱們第一次交談的時候，你說過季后賽是你唯一的目標。現在還剩下7場比賽，你們仍然穩居在第七位。這真的是個瘋狂的賽季？
林書豪：可以這麼說。如果你當初告訴我本賽季還剩下7場比賽的時候，你們戰績會是42勝33負，那恐怕我會興奮到忘乎所以。現在我真的很開心。
弗里德曼：常規賽快要結束，現在是特別強調關鍵球能力的時候。我翻看了本賽季你關鍵球的表現，真的讓我為之一振。比賽最後5分鐘，你的投籃命中率達到51.9%，三分線外的命中率高達66.7%。你怎麼看自己關鍵球的能力？
林書豪：我認為自己是那種下半場表現更出色的球員，特別是第四節的時候。那個時候，我熱血澎湃。
弗里德曼：你認為自己是關鍵先生嗎？
林書豪：這還言之過早，事實上，我記不住自己的數據，我更記住的是，第四節我所犯下的那些致命錯誤。
弗里德曼：你認為如何避免再犯那些錯誤？
林書豪：經驗的積累。就像任何事情，都需要時間來提高自己。

Talking chemistry, clutch and performance evaluation with the Rockets' starting point guard
Jason Friedman
Rockets.com
PORTLAND, OR - It’s impossible to prove, yet highly likely, that nearly every winning pro sports team of recent vintage has at one time or another had a player utter the words, “I think we have something special inside this locker room.” That such a sentiment would be shared so often does not diminish its validity when spoken – winning teams should have that mentality, otherwise what’s the point? – but it does lead to a series of rather logical follow-up questions: namely, what exactly is it that gives rise to such a feeling and what sets a team apart and makes it different or unique from all the rest?
That was the question posed to Jeremy Lin Thursday afternoon upon hearing him utter that aforementioned phrase du jour. The answer seems in many ways obvious given that his team has exceeded all expectations on its way to drawing ever nearer to a playoff berth. But I wanted to hear his particular response to the query, so we settled in for a discussion of that topic before branching out into subjects such as team chemistry, clutch play and personal performance evaluation. What follows is a transcript of our conversation:
JCF: The other day you mentioned your belief that this team has something really special going for it. What, in your mind, makes this particular team and situation unique?
JL: I just think it’s about what we’ve done in the amount of time we’ve been given. I don’t know what it is, I just think this team’s collection of strengths and weaknesses is something different. You don’t usually just put together what is basically a collection of kids and become one of the most explosive offensive teams in the NBA. That’s special. We didn’t have a training camp. We figured everything out on the fly and we’re the youngest team in the league. So I think we have something cool building.
Now defense is another story (laughs). But that takes time also.
JCF: Did it take time for there to be 100 percent buy-in for this particular style of ball? I know guys love it and all the freedom it affords but it’s not easy either. As with any system, there has to be daily dedication in order for it to work optimally and that’s not always easy over the course of an 82-game season, especially when it comes to the team-wide commitment to constantly push the pace.
JL: Absolutely. And that sort of buy-in takes time, too. As the season went along, we started to figure out, ‘Wow, we’re dangerous.’ We have to learn to believe as success comes along and the more we see that, the more we buy into it.
JCF: Was there a particular moment or part of the schedule when you realized that this entire group had collectively bought in?
JL: I think when we won 10 out of 12 (in late December/early January), and the way that we had won some of them, really got everyone on board. The Christmas day game, the game against Memphis – big games like that where we were like, ‘OK, that doesn’t just happen by accident.’
JCF: How has the off-the-court chemistry been?
JL: We all really have each other’s respect. I think it helps, too, that we’re all young and at similar stages of our lives and our careers. That helps us get along a lot better off the court. Sometimes when you have guys with families who are 30-something-years-old, they might not want to hang out with the younger fellas, but we’re all pretty much the same age so that’s nice.
JCF: Yeah, those people with families are to be avoided altogether at all times, I find …
JL: (laughs) Well our guys have families but they still kick it with us. That’s the important thing.
JCF: Something else struck me after the Sacramento game when you were talking about Terrence Jones and the appreciation you have for guys who really had to wait and work for their turn. There are so many players who fit that description on this team. You, of course, but then you have a second-round pick like Chandler, another second-round pick in Omer who had to bide his time in Chicago before coming here, undrafted Greg Smith … even James Harden sort of lived in the shadows in OKC before blowing up in Houston. Do you think having that common bond brings about better chemistry?
JL: We all have a deep appreciation for the opportunity we’ve been given. A lot of us have been on similar paths in this journey. Like for me, I know when guys get sent down to the D-League or when they’ve gotten cut – guys like James Anderson who’s been cut and now has started two games for us in the heat of the playoff chase and played really well – we appreciate that and don’t take anything for granted because we’ve been through the ups and the downs and the grind of an NBA career.
JCF: How has this season been for you from an individual perspective?
JL: This really has been a year of growth. After everything that happened last year, my eyes are now open to everything. I think it’s been an up and down year and what I want in the future is more stability and more consistency on my end, and being able to take control and take over a game on a more consistent basis versus just kind of hoping that it might happen tonight.
JCF: We had a conversation the other day about the steady progression you’ve made throughout the year, but you said that if you were to grade yourself this season you’d give yourself a C. How come?
JL: I just think there have been so many stretches where I was useless on the court and there have been certain stretches where I was really good. So when you average a failing grade and a great grade you end up around a C (laughs).
I’m always my harshest critic. I think at the start of the season I was around an F level and now I’ve raised it to a C. I remember in the preseason I was averaging like nothing and then early in the season I was just doing a lot of nothing as well. That’s all I really remember about the early part of the season to be honest. I think I grew and improved throughout the season but I still think overall I’ve been very mediocre.
JCF: Well it seems part of what you’re basing that on is your stats and I should point out that you’ve been among the most vocal of late saying that everyone needs to forget about the numbers and focus solely on doing whatever it takes to win. You’ve been a big part of this team’s success regardless of what your per game averages may have been at any given time. For you personally, do you find it way easier said than done to ignore whatever numbers you’re posting?
JL: Oh definitely. We’re all competitors and we all want to do well personally and have that success individually. But at this point we’re seven games away from the playoffs. Everybody really, really has to buy in proactively and be like, ‘You know what? It doesn’t matter. As long as we win tonight, nothing else matters.’ I think that mindset signifies trust, accountability and maturation. That’s where we want to go and I think the first step is to start talking about it.
JCF: Speaking of the playoffs, has it started to sink in that you’re so close to reaching that goal? I remember the very first conversation we had back in August when you said the only goal you cared about was making the playoffs. I think you and I both knew back then that was going to be a mighty tough challenge. Now here you are as a team, seven games left, with a magic number of three to clinch a playoff spot. It’s kind of been a wild ride.
JL: It really has been. If you would have told me back then that we’d be 42-33 with seven games left in the season I would be pretty stoked. I’m so happy.
JCF: As we get closer to the end of the season, the games obviously take on added importance meaning there’s frequently an increased emphasis on clutch play. I looked up your clutch numbers for this season and they’re pretty impressive (51.9 percent shooting from the field and 66.7 percent shooting from beyond the arc in the last five minutes of games in which the Rockets either lead or trail by five points or fewer). So the first question I want to ask is: do you believe in the concept of clutch?
JL: Yeah, I believe that. I believe that some players relish that time and other players struggle during that time. I think I’ve always been a player who’s done better in the second half, who’s done better in the fourth quarter. That’s the fun time to play when everything you’ve worked for the whole game boils down to those last few possessions.
JCF: Do you consider yourself a clutch player?
JL: I think it’s too early to be able to say that. I don’t even know my numbers, but I do know I’ve made some key mistakes in fourth quarters so, no, definitely not yet.
JCF: So what’s the key to shrugging off those mistakes?
JL: Experience. It’s getting better, stronger mentally and working through those situations, and I think, like anything, it just takes time.
JCF: Everything good always does, doesn’t it? Thanks, Jeremy.
