J.R. Smith on Money, Lin and the New Season
BY JOSH NEWMAN ON SEPTEMBER 15, 2012, 8:00PM
MONROE TOWNSHIP, N.J. – J.R. Smith has never been one to be coy and not
speak his mind with the media.
JR- 史密斯從來不懂得什麼叫扭扭捏捏,在媒體面前他從來不會故作姿態、裝腔作勢,他
只會表達自己的真實想法。
The New Jersey native and former St. Benedict’s Prep star came home in
February from a playing stint in China, played the final 35 games of the
lockout-shortened 2011-12 season with the Knicks and thought he played well
enough that he decided to test free agency by declining his 2012-13 player
option worth $2.5 million.
今年2月份,在中國度過了一段充滿坎坷的淘金之旅後,史密斯決定返回美國,他在賽季
中期加盟了尼克,同尼克簽訂了一份2年價值500萬美元左右的合約,第二年史密斯擁有球
員選項,他可以選擇跳出合約試水自由球員市場。
Smith has said publicly that he had more money offered to him, but in the
end, liked being home and liked playing for the Knicks. He ultimately signed
a two-year contract with the second year being a player option. He will make
$2.8 million this coming season under the contract.
史密斯透露,當時他本已經收到了更豐厚的報價合約,但在家鄉為尼克打球的誘惑讓他選
擇了同尼克簽約。
“I think anything is a bargain with me, whether I’m playing for a dollar or
$20 million it’s a bargain because I’m going to play hard no matter what,”
Smith told SNY.tv. “No matter how much I get paid, it will never affect how
hard I play and I think that should be thought about when people see me next
year.”
“我認為對我而言無論錢多還是少,這就是一份合約。無論我賺1美元還是2000萬美元,
這就是一份合約罷了,無論多少我都會拼命打球。”在解釋自己執行第二年合約的原因時
,史密斯說道,“無論我能賺到多少,這都不會影響到我在球場上的努力程度,新賽季當
大家看到我在場上的表現時,我想大家應該會想到這些的。”
The decision to not bring back Lin for the three years and $25 million given
to him in Houston was viewed as a largely unpopular move. Knicks head coach
Mike Woodson had said on the record Lin would definitely be back and he would
be the starting point guard.
Instead, the Knicks let Lin walk after he became a global phenomenon and
helped save a season that was quickly going nowhere. The plot of what would
happen to Lin was a national storyline until the Knicks officially declined
on July 17.
今年夏天,上賽季在全聯盟刮起一股“林來瘋”的林書豪被火箭用一份“毒藥合約”帶離
紐約,他跟火箭簽訂了一份3年價值2510萬美元的肥約。尼克本有機會匹配合同留下林書
豪,但他們選擇了放棄匹配權。
“I was on the outside looking in waiting for my deal to get done during that
whole thing and just see what pieces we would pick up instead of Jeremy Lin,”
Smith said. “We got some good pieces. Jeremy is a good player, he was good
to me and I have nothing bad to say about him. I wish him the best of luck,
but we’re gonna kick their ass next year.”
“那時我正忙於自己的合約情況,然後在看看我們會找些什麼拼圖來代替林書豪。我們得
到了一些很好的球員,林書豪也是一位優秀的球員,對於我來說他很優秀,沒什麼不好的
話可說。我祝他好運,但是我們明年要擊敗他們。”
Instead of Lin, the Knicks are slated to go with a point guard trio of free
agent acquisitions Raymond Felton, Jason Kidd and Pablo Prigioni, who is a
35-year old Argentinian rookie. Smith is slated to start at shooting guard
while Iman Shumpert is out until at least December with a torn ACL and
lateral meniscus and Ronnie Breweris on the mend for six weeks following knee
surgery.
Once everyone gets healthy, the roster as currently constructed is being
viewed by most as an improvement over last season and one that figures to
contend in the Eastern Conference.
今年夏天,尼克的引援秉承了“花小錢辦大事”的原則,但收穫頗豐,他們簽下的肥頓、
基德、普利吉奧尼、坎比、小酒都是物超所值的球員,新賽季的尼克陣容深度厚實了不少
,這令史密斯信心爆棚,他認為只要保持健康,尼克有望在東部殺入一條血路。
“Me and Melo have been on the same team for the last six years and ever
since we’ve been together, I feel like we’ve had a championship-caliber
team,” Smith said. “It’s just a matter going out there, passing the ball,
playing defense and playing team basketball.”
“我跟安東尼已經在同一支球隊效力了有6年時間了,我認為我們已經擁有了一支總冠軍
級別的球隊,”史密斯說道,“剩下的就是站上球場去,無私的傳球,打出強硬的防守,
打出團隊籃球。”
