[外電] Steve Aschburner's Sunday Insider (下)
Nothing good after midnight
午夜過後就沒什麼好事情
In the wake of the Denver Broncos rookie Darrent Williams' shooting in
Denver, several NBA players were asked about the logistics and challenges of
a night on the town for the young, rich, aggressive and famous.
緊接在丹佛野馬菜鳥D.Willams在丹佛市中心遭槍擊而身亡後，數位NBA
球員被問到對於那些年輕、富有、好鬥而且有名的球員該如何在城鎮裡的夜
生活中明哲保身。
If you're one of those guys that want to play tough and still want to live
like you used to when you were growing up, it's going to be hard on you in
the club," Dallas guard Greg Buckner said. "But if you're the type of person
who understands that you've got something to live for, there's no use in you
trying to be tough.
如果你是那些習慣逞凶鬥狠的傢伙，仍然希望可以維持從小到大一貫的
那種生活方式，你在俱樂部裡一定會遇到一些麻煩，"達拉斯小牛後衛G.Buckner
說。"但如果你是那種知所進退的聰明人，你就會這根本就不必要。
"You've probably got more to live for than that other guy who's trying to
start something. So you just need to walk away."
"你或許可以更有智慧地面對那些想要找碴的小混混，轉身離開就行了。"

Really sore loser
真的賠了夫人又折兵
There is a lesson in Miami coach Pat Riley's sudden step-down in the middle
of the season. Riley apparently kicked a locker room door after his team lost
last weekend to the Nets.
這是關於邁阿密熱火油頭教練季中臨時缺陣的案例教育。油頭在他的球隊
上週末輸給紐澤西籃網後用力地踢了球員休息室的門。
The next time your child loses his or her temper over a sports
disappointment, remind them that if they aren't careful, they might have to
undergo knee and hip replacement surgery when it's least convenient.
下一次你家的小孩子因為支持的球隊落敗而脾氣發作時，記得要提醒他們
，如果他們不注意一點，他們或許最糟或落到接受膝蓋和髖部手術的下場。
"What I do in the locker room really has always been my business," Riley told
Heat reporters at his hastily called leave-of-absence news conference. "I've
broken a lot of objects in my time."
"我在球員休息室裡要做怎麼做是我家的事，"油頭在為了暫時卸下兵符而
緊急召開的記者會上向記者說。"我的職業生涯已經破壞了一大堆的東西。"

Wally wings it
深陷泥沼的帥哥
Former Wolves swingman Wally Szczerbiak has had few big moments since his
trade to Boston 49 weeks ago, and he was shooting 18-for-64 since returning
(too soon?) from a sprained right ankle.
前灰狼鋒衛搖擺人帥哥自從49個星期前被交易至波士頓塞爾提克後已經有
過許多精采表現，但他自從右腳扭傷復原歸隊後只有投64中18的不及格成績(
是因為太急著上場而導致表現不佳嗎？)
"The guys look to me to knock down those shots," said Szczerbiak, who missed
a potential game-tying attempt against Cleveland Wednesday. "It's something
I'm going to have to work through."
"那些負責看管我的人迫使我出手不進，"星期三晚上對上克里夫蘭騎士的
比賽中未能投進追平分的帥哥說。"那是我必須努力突破的癥結點。"

The light touch
輕鬆一下
Most NBA coaches try something like this at some point each season: Denver's
George Karl told his team he would cancel practice Monday if the Nuggets'
strength coach, Steve Hess, could sink a three-pointer.
大多數的NBA教練在每個球季總會嘗試做這樣的事：丹佛的G.Karl教練向
他的球隊說如果體能教練S.Hess能賽進一顆三分球，他就取消球隊在星期一的
練習。
Well, what do you know? Giddy players skipped out of the gym.
嗯，你知道嗎？結果樂翻天了的球員們又跳又叫地蹦出體育館。
Even though it was Denver's first chance to practice with the old leather
basketball, Karl didn't mind. "It is a new year, a celebration," he said.
儘管那是金塊第一次使用舊式皮球練習的機會，Karl並不在意。"新年嘛
，就當作是個特別慶祝吧，"他說。
"The karma of Steve making the shot is a positive karma I can live with."
"Hess能賽進那顆球意謂著今年我們會一切順利，我是這麼想的。"

Famous last words
妙人妙語
‧ Larry Hughes scored 13 points in the fourth quarter of Cleveland's victory
over San Antonio on Tuesday, but was still steamed about Cavs fans booing him
in the first half.
‧L.Hughes在騎士星期二打敗聖安東尼奧馬刺的球賽第四節貢獻了13分，
但他依然對於上半場騎士球迷對他的噓聲耿耿於懷。
"I don't like to be booed if I'm playing hard," said Hughes, who has been
playing on an ankle still not fully healed. "That got me going a little bit."
"如果我認真打球還被噓我真的會很不爽，"腳踝傷勢未完全恢復即帶傷上
陣的的Hughes說。"那讓我更拼命想要有所表現。"
‧ Golden State coach Don Nelson all but dared the Memphis Grizzlies to run
up the score, saying before tipoff: "They say their going to run with us and
that's fine with me." So the freed-from-Mike-Fratello Grizzlies beat Nellie's
club 144-135.
‧對於孟斐斯灰熊近來猛到不行的進攻表現，金州勇士的D.Nelson教練在
跳球前略帶挑釁意味地說："他們說他們會跟我們比進攻，沒問題啊。"所以從
M.Fratello緊箍咒中解放的灰熊以144比135擊敗Nelson的勇士。
