Roy Hibbert Fights to Improve His Game
By Sam Amick, December 1 2010
SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- And my unofficial vote for Most Improved Player goes to
... Roy Hibbert.
我個人的非官方投票將最佳進步獎頒給了… Roy Hibbert。
OK, so maybe it's too early to start handicapping the 2010-11 hardware just
yet, but Indiana's transformed center is having the perfect storm of a season
when it comes to winning such honors. First of all, anyone who hasn't heard
that the 7-foot-2, third-year big man out of Georgetown worked off the
equivalent of a small toddler this summer (23 pounds) needs to browse your
local Google images to check out the before and after. Then grab the remote
and set the DVR to record the next Pacers tilt (Wed. at Utah, 9 p.m. ET, NBA
League Pass), because he is fast becoming one of the best big men in the game.
沒錯,現在就來預測 2010-11 賽季的結果是太早了點,但溜馬這位改頭換面的中鋒今年
贏得本獎項的聲勢很強。首先,這位 7 呎 2 吋,喬治城大學出身的三年級生今年夏天
甩掉了相當於一個小孩的重量(23 磅),不知道的人請 Google 看看圖片,比較一下前
後差別,然後拿好你的遙控器和 DV 準備紀錄這位溜馬的新星,因為他很快地將成為聯
盟最佳中鋒之一。
After finishing with 16 points (8-of-13 shooting), eight rebounds and four
assists despite foul trouble (32 minutes) in a win over Sacramento on
Tuesday, Hibbert has seen his scoring increase from 11.7 points per game in
2009-10 to 16.1 per this season, his rebounding improve from 5.7 to 9.5, his
assists jump from two to three and his blocks go up from 1.6 to 2.1. The
Danny-Granger, Darren-Collison, Hibbert-led Pacers are, as their man in the
middle put it, "the best-kept secret" in the league, having won four of their
last five games (including wins over Miami and the Lakers) to improve to 9-7.
在週二對國王的勝利中,儘管犯規纏身(上場 32 分鐘),Hibbert 仍拿下 16 分(13
投 8 中)8 籃板 4 助攻,將場均得分從 2009-10 的 11.7 分提升到今年的 16.1,籃
板從 5.7 個進步到 9.5 個,助攻從 2 次提高到 3 次,阻攻從 1.6 次提高到 2.1 次
。由 Danny Granger - Darren Collison - Hibbert 軸心領軍的溜馬,就如同坐鎮中央
的那位一樣,是聯盟最大的驚奇,在最近五場比賽拿下了四場勝利(包括熱火和湖人)
,將戰績提升到 9 勝 7 敗。
Yet the most fascinating and impressive stat that pertains to Hibbert is his
playing time, as Hibbert is taking on a bigger load than ever before because,
well, he's no longer a load himself. And that development -- a
minutes-per-game increase of approximately 25 to 30 minutes per game between
last season and this season -- is quite a story in and of itself.
但 Hibbert 最吸引人、最讓人印象深刻的數據是他的上場時間,他現在所擔負起的比起
以往都要來得重,因為他的身體對他自己不再是負擔。上場時間怎樣從去年的 25 分鐘
增加到 30 分鐘,這裡頭就有故事了。
Hibbert spent most of his first two seasons wondering why he couldn't go as
hard or as long as he wanted on the floor. His fleshy body weighed him down,
and his lungs left him short of breath long before he was ready to head for
the bench during games.
Hibbert 前兩個球季都一直在懷疑:為什麼他沒辦法盡全力,甚至只是照自己所想的去
打球。他多肉的身體拖慢了自己,而他的肺讓他在準備下場休息之前就感到呼吸困難。
"The most I could play was 21 or 22 minutes (last season) before I got really
exhausted and tired," Hibbert told FanHouse.
Hibbert 告訴 FanHouse:「(去年)我最多只能打個 21 到 22 分鐘,不然我就會累到
快虛脫。」
Until, that is, the discovery of a previously-undiagnosed asthma condition
changed everything.
直到發現了是之前一直未診斷出的氣喘在作怪,改變了這一切。
After last season, Hibbert had his lungs tested in an eight-hour process at
an Indianapolis-area hospital in which he breathed into a machine to get a
reading on his windbags. When it was deemed what Hibbert called
"athlete-induced asthma," the prescription for an inhaler quickly followed
and Hibbert was on his way to an unexpected rebirth.
上個球季結束後,Hibbert 在印城當地的醫院作了一個耗時 8 小時的肺功能測試,對機
器吹氣來測量他的肺部。醫生診斷出 Hibbert 有「運動引起的氣喘」,之後開立了吸入
藥物的處方,而 Hibbert 就這樣意外地獲得新生。
Suddenly, the breaths came easier, the frame felt lighter, and Hibbert went
to work shedding weight so as to take full advantage of his new physical
circumstance. He accepted an invitation from a team trainer and joined the
world of Mixed Martial Arts fighting in the pursuit of peak condition.
一夕之間,呼吸變得好輕鬆,身體感覺更輕盈,而 Hibbert 更努力甩掉體重來善加利用
他新的身體狀況。他接受了一位球隊訓練員的邀請,加入了綜合格鬥技的世界,以達到
巔峰的體態。
The new-and-(most) improved Hibbert has gone from 278 pounds to 255 while
seeing his body fat decrease from 14 percent to eight percent.
新生且更加進步的 Hibbert 從 278 磅降到 255 磅,體脂肪率也從 14% 降到 8%。
"Those (MMA) guys, I feel like, are the best conditioned athletes, so three
days a week, I did punching, knees, everything you see those guys do on (the
Ultimate Fighting Championships), I was doing that," Hibbert said. "It got me
in tip-top shape. I'd go to Fortville, Ind., drive like 40 minutes after my
(basketball) workouts (in the summer) and trained there."
Hibbert 說:「綜合格鬥的選手們,就我的感覺,是調適最佳的運動員,所以每週有三
天我會作些拳擊、膝擊……等等,你在終極格鬥錦標賽上所看到的,我作的就是那些。
這樣的訓練讓我能維持巔峰的體態。在籃球的練習結束之後,我會開個約 40 分鐘的車
到 Fortville,然後在那兒繼續作這些訓練。」
The inhaler remains key, as Hibbert uses it every morning and then "one hour
before games," he said.
吸入藥物也是關鍵,Hibbert 在每天早上,還有「比賽前一小時」都會用它。
"I do feel like a new man," Hibbert said. "I'm getting used to my new body,
and I'm appreciate of Indiana investing a lot in me and I just want to give
back."
Hibbert 說:「我感覺就像個全新的人一樣。我正在習慣我的新身體,而我也很感謝溜
馬在我身上投資那麼多,我希望能報答他們。」
At this rate, the Pacers will be giving Hibbert far more than they planned on
the financial front next summer when he's eligible to negotiate an extension.
照這樣下去,溜馬將得準備一張比計畫中要大得多的合約給 Hibbert,因為今年夏天他
就取得協商續約的資格。
"He has a great work ethic, a commitment to the franchise, and he wants to be
good," Pacers general manager David Morway told FanHouse. "He wants to be
very good .As time went by (during the last three years), he's gotten more
comfortable and more committed and more committed. And then when he saw the
results, just like anybody else, that had a huge impact on him."
溜馬 GM David Morway 告訴 FanHouse 說:「他有優良的工作態度,為球隊奉獻,而且
他想進步。他總是想要變得更好。在過去三年間,他越來越適應,也更加、更加地投入
。而當他看到努力的成果時,就像其他人一樣,對他帶來很大的衝擊。」
And his opponents.
對他的對手們而言也是很大的衝擊。
