[外電] Roy: Miller Brings Leadership Blazer …
Brandon Roy: Andre Miller Brings The Leadership I Need
August 10, 2009 – 11:00 am by Tas Melas
I know the money is just stupid, but in sports terms, Brandon Roy deserved
every dollar of that 5-year, $80 million extension. He is a franchise
player, he lives for those fourth quarter moments, and he will always be his
team’s number one option. This three year trial run since he came in to the
league has made it clear to Blazers’ brass that he will work to get better
at all times. Kevin Pritchard ended up with the best player in that ‘06
draft - maybe the best two when all is said and done considering LaMarcus
Aldridge’s progress - and there was no choice but to pay him as such. It’s
nice to see an extremely hard-working man improve so much at his trade and be
rewarded for it. When he came out of the University of Washington, no one
expected him to be close to this good; Brandon decided to work and its paid
off, literally. Roy joined 95.5 The Game in Portland to discuss the contract
negotiations from his point of view, what he’s working on this summer, and
why Andre Miller will make a difference on the Blazers.
On how the negotiations went for him:
“[...] I told my agent and said, ‘Hey, look, just call me when you feel
like we’re close again.’ So, that way, I wasn’t just spending every day
worrying about the contract, thinking about the contract. I just wanted to
get away and say, ‘Hey, look, I’m gonna enjoy my family and call me when
both sides are moving closer towards an agreement.’ I think towards the end
of the month, both sides got re-engaged in it again, and he started to begin
to call me again and said, ‘Look, we’re getting closer, and you can start
to relax a little bit.’ So, that’s kinda how my process went.”
Roy to 經紀人： 到了叫我
On whether or not the money will change him:
“I’m gonna keep being Brandon Roy. I think I’m gonna improve, I know a
lot of things I’m gonna work on this offseason and continue to make my
mid-range game much better so I don’t have to take as many bumps when I get
to the basket. My thing is to never play for money or to try to go out there
and not get injured, I just try to play as hard as I can to win every game.
I just think the longer I’ve been in this league, I’ve learned how to take
care of my body a little bit more. I know something I’m gonna do this year
is hire a personal chef to make sure I’m eating properly throughout the
season, and then maybe even to get involved with some yoga or some pilates,
just to continue to give myself some kind of edge to go out there and
continue to improve.”
我不是為錢工作
我就是我 Brandon Roy
我會一直進步 在球場上拼命贏得比賽
On what Andre Miller brings to the Blazers:
“I think the biggest thing he’ll bring is leadership to our team. Me, and
LaMarcus, and coach Nate of course have tried to do that; even coach Nate
would say that you need a player out there to do it. I would go to coach
Nate a number of times this season and say, ‘You know, coach, there’s times
during the game I wish there was an older, veteran guy around to help maybe
show me the way.’ I think that Andre Miller, he’s the perfect guy for
that. And, not only help me out, I think Greg and LaMarcus will benefit
extremely from having a pass first point guard, and a point guard that has an
aura about himself. He’s a crafty guy, he’s been in this league for a
number of years, and he’s excited about being here, and he’s excited about
making us better. So, that makes me think that, ‘Eh, this guy’s gonna help
make this team even better than a 54-win team.”
Andre Miller帶來了 御隊術
這對我們整個球隊都很重要
包括Nate
Nate總是希望有人能夠在場上展現這些東西
但在場上遭遇一些 問題的時候 我跟Nate說我希望有一個veteran guy around to
help maybe show me the way.
（所以veteran guy比Nate有用？
