Buck Harvey: Sixth man with the sixth sense http://0rz.tw/fd3yG Web Posted: 01/24/2008 12:36 AM CST San Antonio Express-News A few years ago, when the issue was new, Manu Ginobili shrugged and said it didn't matter if he came off the bench or started games. Then someone told him if he won the NBA's sixth-man of the year award, he would get a little trophy. 時間回到幾年前，當這個議題第一次被談起時，Manu Ginobili聳聳肩，表示他並不在乎他是否是先發球員。然後當時就有人跟他說，如果他贏得了最佳第六人的獎項，他會得到一座小獎盃。 This time, he did more than shrug. He smiled and used remarkable sarcasm considering it sprang from his second language. "Really?" he asked with eyes wide. 這次，他沒有聳肩，他笑了一下，用他的第二語言反諷。「喔!是這個樣子喔?」他瞪大眼睛反問。 This is the reaction from a man who has a gold medal, NBA rings and a few European titles. A little trophy means about as much as coming out for an opening tip does; Ginobili has done too much to care. 這就是一個擁有金牌、NBA冠軍戒指、歐洲的幾個賽事冠軍的男人所做出的反應。一座小小的獎盃對他來說跟小費沒兩樣，不過是九牛一毛罷了。 That attitude will be in play again now. Gregg Popovich started Ginobili in the second half Wednesday, trying to add life to a team that acted as if it had already boarded its late-night flight to Miami, and Ginobili came up with eight steals and at least as many reasons why he should start the rest of the season. 但是這種看法最近又出現了。Gregg Popovich在對湖人的比賽中，下半場才讓Ginobili上場，試圖為看起來像是已經搭上飛往邁阿密的飛機的馬刺(?)注入一點活力。結果Ginobili得道了8次抄截，以及一大堆應該讓他先發的理由。 But Ginobili won't start. 但是Ginobili還是不會先發。 Popovich might experiment here and there, and he might inject Ginobili as he did Wednesday. Still, Popovich knows how his team is built, and he knows what happens if he combines Ginobili with Tim Duncan and Tony Parker to start halves: The reserves won't have enough scoring punch. 雖然Popovich有時候會把球隊陣容東改一些，西改一些，但是他知道如果把Ginobili擺上先發會發生什麼事：板凳的得分會嚴重不足。 Besides, Ginobili is the ideal sixth man. He changes games whether he is shooting well or not, and the only reason Popovich hesitated two years ago was because he sensed some reluctance from Ginobili. 而且Ginobili是理想中的第六人，即使他手感不佳，他還是能改變整場比賽。唯一讓 Popovich猶豫兩年才把他擺到板凳上的原因是他發現Ginobili有些許的不願意。 "You can say the right things and do the right things," Popovich said then. "But I guarantee you, deep in his gut, he wants to start." 「你可以說這個決定是對的。」Popovich當初說道，「但是我跟你打包票，在他內心深處，他還是想當先發球員。」 Ginobili later admitted the same. "I was worried," he said. Ginobili後來承認了，「我當初有點擔心。」他說道。 Popovich never saw that as a weakness. To get to this level, Popovich thinks every player has to have a strong ego, and there's more than ego involved. For example, Ginobili has started every game in a season only once his entire career. That was the 2004-05 season, and, perhaps not coincidentally, he made his only All-Star appearance then. Popovich從來不認為那(先發?)是他的弱點。Popovich認為每個能在NBA打球的球員都具有相當的實力。Ginobili只有在04-05球季的時候才整個賽季都先發，而那年也是他唯一有參加明星賽的一年。 So Popovich tried to be sensitive to Ginobili, as well as to Argentine fans who had his e-mail address. But what began two years ago as an occasional adjustment has become Ginobili's gig. 所以Popovich嘗試著對Ginobili好一點，對那些有他E-mail的阿根廷球迷也是。但是兩年前的一個嘗試性的調整已經成為Ginobili的武器了。 He came off the bench about half the time last year, which is likely why Leandro Barbosa of Phoenix, not Ginobili, won the little trophy. Too many still viewed Ginobili as a starter. 他在上個賽季中，只有一半的時間是從板凳出發的，所以在最佳第六人的獎項上面，他輸給了太陽的Leandro Barbosa。太多人仍然認為Ginobili是先發球員。 No one can have that impression now, since Ginobili has started only twice this season. Perhaps that's why Jon Barry, whose brother started for the Spurs on Wednesday night, predicted Ginobili will be this season's Sixth Man of the Year. 至少現在沒人會這麼認為了，因為到目前為止，Ginobili只先發過兩次。這大概是Jon Barry，Brent Barry的哥哥，預測今年的最佳第六人將會頒給Ginobili的原因吧。 (註：Jon Barry目前為ESPN的球評。) Still, in this same game, Popovich changed everything. The Spurs trailed by nine points at halftime, and it felt like it should have been 90. 然而，Popovich改變了今天這場比賽的結果。當中場休息時，馬刺落後9分，但是感覺起來就像落後90分一樣。 Popovich used a line at halftime that he's used before. "You need," he told his team, "to participate in your own recovery." Popovich還是用他的那一句老話，「想要站起來，必須自己去想辦法。」 Popovich started Ginobili to make that happen, and Ginobili participated, though he didn't overwhelm anyone offensively. He ended with a 3-for-16 shooting night. Popovich派Ginobili上場拯救局面。雖然他在進攻方面沒有多少的進帳，整場比賽只有投 16進3。 Still, his eight steals were accompanied by a handful of assists and rebounds, as well as two passes through the legs of Lakers defenders. And when the Spurs' third-quarter surge began, Ginobili was there from the opening second, part of a pressuring defense that changed the game. 但是他有八個抄截、一些助攻和一些籃板，其中還包括兩個跨下傳球。而且當馬刺在第三節緊起直追時，Ginobili扮演非常重要的角色。 Ginobili began the scoring with a twisting layup, then found Duncan for a dunk. What followed was an assortment of plays, from a Bruce Bowen block, to a Michael Finley jumper, to the growing role of Ime Udoka. 他先以一個花式上籃開始，然後傳球給Duncan，讓他扣籃。接下來比賽就交給了馬刺接管，從Bruce Bowen的火鍋、Micheal Finley的跳投一直到Ime Udoka的表現。 When Brent Barry ended the third quarter with back-to-back threes, an ESPN reporter asked Popovich in a mid-game interview what made him think that starting Ginobili would jumpstart the Spurs. 當Brent Barry以連續兩顆三分結束第三節時，一位ESPN的記者訪問Popovich，他問為甚麼 Popovich會認為派Ginobili上場可以激勵馬刺。 Popovich paused and said flatly: "He's Manu Ginobili." Popovich想了一下，然後平淡的回答：「他是Manu Ginobili。」 Popovich said it as if everyone should know by now. Popovich的口氣就像是大家應該早就知道為甚麼了。 He's Manu Ginobili, and he doesn't start, and he cares about big trophies, not little ones. 他是Manu Ginobili，他不先發，而且他對大獎盃的興趣遠大於對小獎盃。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 59.125.4.169 ※ 編輯: buyao531 來自: 59.125.4.169 (01/25 01:43)
