Andre Miller, student and teacher of the game
Basketball isn’t rocket science. The increased role of analytics by NBA
teams may suggest otherwise, but Andre Miller would like a say.
籃球不完全是科學,但NBA球隊中分析的比重越來越大卻反駁了這點。
不過A米有話要說。
“I think with everybody, you want to keep the game simple,” Miller told
Cowbell Kingdom last week. “At some point, you get to a certain age, and the
game does get a little bit easier, but at this point, you still have
challenges that you have to deal with.”
「我覺得不管對誰,你要試著讓比賽單純點。」A米上禮拜接受Cowbell Kingdom的訪問時
這樣表示。
「在某些時候,你已經有了一定年紀,而比賽好像變得有一點簡單,但是在此同時,你仍
然有一些挑戰要去面對。」
At 38, Miller is the second-oldest active player in the league. To last that
long, the point guard needed to outthink his opponents, especially as his
athleticism began to slide. So like a good pupil, Miller took care of his
homework.
38歲的A米已經是聯盟第二老的球員(最老的好像是Nash?)。能打這麼多年的比賽,這位
老控衛需要去識破他的對手,尤其是他的體能已經開始下滑的時候。所以A米像個好學
生一樣地做著他的功課。
In his 16 years as a pro, Miller was fortunate enough to work under head
coaches John Lucas, Maurice Cheeks and Nate McMillan, all former NBA point
guards. Add in Randy Wittman and George Karl, former guards who Miller has
played for multiple times, and it’s a staff of collective minds that Harvard
would envy (or at least their sports program).
在他16年的職業生涯中,A米很幸運地在John Lucas、Maurice Cheeks還有Nate McMillan
這幾位曾經身為控衛的總教練手下打過球。再加上Randy Wittman和George Karl,A米也
為他們打了幾年球,他們的工作團隊可以讓哈佛忌妒(至少他們的體育系會的)。
It’s clear by watching Miller that he puts his archive of knowledge to use.
When orchestrating an offense, the ball handler’s decisions with the rock
appear second nature.
看A米怎麼去運用他的知識庫就很清楚了。在組織一次進攻的時候,持球者的決定是相當
重要的。
“He does a good job of changing pace, changing speed,” Ray McCallum told
media members. “He sees the floor tremendously well. He’s really good with
the kick head pass, and just always finding the open guy. Making tough
passes, and he’s also really vocal, out there leading guys and getting guys
in spots and just being a true point guard.”
「他在改變節奏跟變速上很有一手。」
Ray是這樣跟我們的記者說的:「他觀察場上的能力超級好。他很會做kick head pass(?)
而且總是可以找到有空檔的人。完成一些困難的傳球,而且他也在場上不停地喊聲,
領導隊友讓他們站在該在的位置,是一個真正的控衛。」(Ray你都看到了,拜託好好學。)
In nine games with the Sacramento Kings, Miller has averaged 5.8 points and
5.6 assists in 23 minutes. Unable to rely on a first step anymore, the
veteran likes to contort and back down to the basket, so he can wreak havoc
in the paint.
在國王的9場比賽,A米平均上場23分鐘,繳出5.8分5.6助攻的成績。沒辦法利用第一步的
速度突破,所以這位老將喜歡轉啊轉地到籃下,這樣他就可以在油漆區裡亂來。
“I used to watch Gary Payton,” Miller shared with Cowbell Kingdom. “He’ll
go down there every now and then to get some leverage. Just to create
opportunities for others. I’ve done that a little bit more and more as my
career winds down.”
「我習慣會看Gary Payton的影片。」A米跟我們分享。
「他也會經常會跑到籃下,這樣可以給其他人創造空檔。我在我的職業生涯開始下坡的
時候一點一點地把這些加進去。」
Miller’s on-ball defense remains effective, which is a sight to behold on a
club that has struggled mightily defending the perimeter this season. His
lateral speed all but a memory, the 6-foot-2, 200-pounder has held his
assignment to 4.8 percent below their seasonal field goal average since
joining the Kings.
A米對持球者的防守依舊不錯,這稍微支持了國王這個聯盟防守後段班的球隊。他的橫移
速度幾乎沒了,但這個6呎2,200磅的控衛加入國王後,對手的平均命中率降了4.8%。
“It’s all positioning, it’s all positioning,” Miller enforced. “Just
knowing who I’m playing against, and trying to keep them in front of me.”
A米強調說:「重點是位置,位置!只要知道我要守誰,然後盡量讓他待在我面前。」
(說起來簡單,做起來難啊...)
Another reason why Karl and the Kings acquired Miller at the trade deadline
was for his leadership skills. Commanding a huddle and earning the trust of
his teammates came with practice, as well as the classes he studied while at
the University of Utah.
“My sociology degree, it helped me a little bit,” Miller admitted. “I
learned early how to communicate with people, through college.”
國王跟老卡爾之所以在交易大限把A米交易過來的另一個理由就是他的領導力。
在訓練中命令這群亂七八糟的傢伙,博得隊友們的信任,還有他在猶他州立大學的研究。
「我的社會學學位,這真的對我有一點幫助,我之前在大學裡學到如何去跟人溝通。」
For all his preparation, Miller still attributes his longevity and
effectiveness to a little luck. In 1,244 regular season appearances, the
California native has missed only three games to injuries.
A米把他的長久職業生涯跟效率歸於一點點運氣。生涯出賽了1244場季賽,這位加州人只
因傷缺陣了3場。
“I’m just blessed not to have been through major injuries, no major
surgeries,” Miller added. “Knock on wood, I just try to do the best I can
to take care of my body.”
A米補充說:「我只祈禱不要有大傷,不要有大手術。Knock on wood(祈求好運),我只是
在我能做得到的地方做到最好來照顧我的身體。」
By stabilizing the Kings second unit and serving as an “extended coach on
the floor,” as McCallum says, Miller has proven once again that you can be
never too cool for school. Knowledge is power, and power can equate to a
16-year NBA career.
這位老將帶領國王的替補陣容,而且做得就像...「一個場上的教練。」
就像McCallum的說法一樣,A米再次證明了你永遠沒辦法遠離學校,知識就是力量,而這
力量等同於16年的職業生涯。
個人意見
家有一老,如有一寶,巫師不但幫我們清毒瘤,還送了個寶過來,該請他們GM吃宵夜了。
A米今年我記得是到期約吧?拜託PDA跟老卡爾把他留下來。
Ray趕快拜師,這篇文章除了A米就只有你有講話。
