※ 引述《jerod (KG4MVP)》之銘言： : http://www.twincities.com/timberwolves/ci_6577691 : Kevin McHale, the Timberwolves' vice president in charge of spending Glen : Taylor's money, hasn't done a lot of talking lately. But he sure opened up : when we talked the other day after the news conference to introduce the five : players the Wolves acquired from Boston in the Kevin Garnett trade. McHale : talked at length about himself and about Al Jefferson, the power forward who : was a key player in the deal. 大意是這次採訪McHale，他說了不少關於他自己還有Al Jefferson的事，而這位大前鋒是這次交易中的重點 : BS: You once were extremely popular in Minnesota. You're not so popular : anymore. Do you ever think about saying, 'To heck with it." BS:你曾經在Min很受歡迎，但是你再也不是了，對於這點你想說些啥 : KM: A long, long, long, long time ago, I realized you're never as good as : they say you are, and you're never as bad as they say you are. It really : doesn't bother me, someone's opinion. It never has affected what I would have : done. If it did, I never would have played at the University of Minnesota. : People said I wasn't good enough. And, "How could he be the third pick in the : draft? He'll only be an average NBA player." Unfortunately, our society is : that way. It's a very negative-driven society. I will tell you, probably my : biggest frustration in this job has never been anything that was said about : me. It was the fact that some years we had some very, very good teams here, : and they were pooh-poohed. I thought the Malik Sealy-Terrell Brandon years, : we were winning about 50 games, in a Western Conference that was every bit as : good as it is now. We got close in the playoffs. But you have to punch : somebody in the mouth to win in the playoffs. KM:在很久很久很久很久以前........(略) [本段可是視為KM的.....廢話吧] : BS: Did you try to get K.G. to be more physical? Is that an area of his game : that he never gave you, and you hoped he would? BS:你曾希望KG能做得更多嗎？那些他在球賽中沒有給你，而你又希望他有的 : KM: Kevin is such a gifted player. He rebounds like he's 8 feet tall. But he : plays offense like he's 6-4. That was the game that was best suited for him. KM: KG是天上掉下來的禮物，他的籃板能力像是他有八尺高，進攻方面又如同六尺四的後衛，這是比賽中最適合他的（這句不太會翻） : BS: Did you get frustrated, as some fans did, that K.G. was a reluctant go-to : guy at the end of games? BS: 你和一些球迷一樣，對於KG在比賽要結束時勉強作為主力得分手感到挫折嗎 : KM: Kevin is a pass-first player. Always has been. Always will be. He'll : score 25,000 points in our league and be a pass-first player. Which is : amazing. Most of those guys get 15, 16,000 points and have a 15-year career. : He's going to have 25,000 points, or more. He's just such an instinctive : player. I remember a game we played years ago. We were playing San Antonio. : Kevin drove and made a little dish for the last shot to Dean Garrett, and : Dean missed about a 15-footer. I remember thinking, "Oh, man, why didn't he : shoot?" Then you look on film and you say, "That's the right basketball play. : Dean was wide open." And Kevin just plays that way. That'd be like saying, : "Doggone it, Marvin Hagler just didn't box enough." He wasn't a boxer. Marvin : Hagler was a slugger. You are who you are. Kevin is a passer. That's always : going to be his instinct. The most amazing thing is, if you run your entire : offense to Kevin to score, he'll average 25 points a game. If you run nothing : to Kevin, he'll average 22 points a game because he just plays. He's really : unique. That never bothered me. I think I understood at an early age with : Kevin that he's just going to move the ball on and do stuff. Are you going to : say, "Joe Mauer has got to be a home run hitter?" Well, Joe Mauer is a : contact hitter. You are who you are. So, I did not have that frustration : level. I knew who Kevin was. KM: KG是個傳球優先的球員，以前是，以後也是，他能作為聯盟中得到25000分且又以傳球優先的球員，這是不可思議的。這樣的人也許得到15、16000分，且在15年的生涯中得到25000或更多的分數，他是這種有天份的選手。在幾年前一場和馬刺的比賽中，KG切入並且做了個小傳球給Dean Garrett做最後一擊，而Dean失手了我當時想：老天，為啥他不自己投籃？然後你看看場上後說：這是個正確的決定因為Dean他有個大空檔，而且KG正是這樣做。就像你說"該死的，Marvin Hagler 的拳擊還不夠威阿"Marvin Hagler不是個拳擊手，他是個打擊力強的選手 [靠盃，我哪知道他是誰] ，你就是你，KG是位傳球者，這是他的本能。而最不可思議的是，如果你要他全力進攻，他平均一場球賽可以得25分，而如果你啥都不講，他也可以每場比賽得個22分，他是獨一無二的，這從不困擾我。你要說:Joe Mauer能做一位全壘打打者嗎？"嗯，他是位擊球點準確的打者，你就是你。所以我從來就沒有對KG感到挫折，因為我知道KG是這樣的人 [編按：McFail能做個正常的GM嗎？不可能，因為他只是個釣魚的，you are who you are] : BS: This past season, Jefferson had statistics similar to Garnett's at the : same age (16 points and 11 rebounds for Jefferson vs. 15.8 and 9.6 for : Garnett during 1997-98). Can Jefferson be the next K.G.? BS: 上個賽季，Al表現得很像是KG在這個年紀時候的表現(AL:16分11籃板，KG:15.8分 9.6籃板)，Al有可能會是下一個KG嗎？ : KM: They're completely different players. Jefferson is a low-post, bang-them, : punch-them-in-the-mouth kind of guy. Kevin was always more of a finesse guy. : When he came into the league, he was so slender. Al's a different type : player. But, for me, I like the way he roots around in the post and stays in : the paint. I like the game being played in the paint. For me, I'd take a : hundred shots in the paint. I wouldn't take a jump shot the whole game. But : that's just me. KM: 他們是完全不一樣的運動員，Al是個低位能碰撞推擠的選手。KG怎是有著許多手段的選手，他進入聯盟的時候身材瘦長。Al是個不一樣類型的球員.對我而言，我喜歡他在籃框和禁區附近待著，我喜歡禁區的比賽，就如同我之前在禁區投進幾百球一樣，整場比賽我幾乎不跳投，而這就是我。 [誰管你喜歡刷油漆] : BS: Can Jefferson have the impact K.G. did with the Wolves? BS: 你覺得Al能帶給灰郎KG那樣的衝擊嗎？ : KM: I think that's an unfair comparison. One thing that is fair is if you : track guys in our league who have gone from the rebounding numbers that Al : has; they've never taken a huge step back. They've never, at 21 years old, : averaged 11 rebounds a game and then, all of a sudden, average six. Al is a : blue-collar guy that gets in the paint and likes to muck around down there. : They're going to be different players. What made K.G. so unique was he really : played at 6-11, like a two (shooting guard) or three (small forward). Al : plays like a power forward. KM: 我想這是個不公平的比較，唯一公平的是如果你在聯盟中有看見其他人有著Al的的籃板數，他們絕不會在21歲的時候有著平均一場11籃板而且忽然的變成平均6個 [這句真的看不懂,orz....]。Al是個藍領工，他能在禁區打爛仗且得分。Al和KG 將會是不同類型的球員，KG之所以獨特的是以他6尺11吋的身高，打法卻如同是個得分後衛或是小前鋒，而Al的打法則像是大前鋒 : BS: Maybe I asked about the wrong Kevin. Can Al Jefferson be another Kevin : McHale? BS: 我能請問一下，你覺得Al有可能會是另一個McHale嗎？ [ 拜託，要像McHale別像Mcfail ] : KM: I don't know about that. He's going to be the next Al Jefferson. Again, I : like the game played in the paint. I know that may sound funny if you've seen : our team play over the past few years. There was a lot of jump shooting. That : drove me nuts, as much as it drove anybody nuts. A lot of stuff happens with : the San Antonio Spurs, but in the last five minutes of the game you throw the : ball to Tim (Duncan) in the low post, and you say, "OK, big fella, we're : playing inside out." Or, they give it to Manu Ginobli on a screen to drive in : the paint. You need to have some guys you can go to like that down the : stretch to control the game. And that's why I did like Jefferson. He's unique : on to himself. He just turned 22. He's a puppy, man. He would just be a : senior in college. KM: 我不知道，但他會是下個Al Jefferson. 在一次的聲明，我喜歡在禁區的比賽，如果你有看我們這幾年的比賽，我知道這句話有點有趣，因為我們有很多的跳投。這使我傻了[ 所以你真的傻了？ ]，也讓很多人瘋狂。馬刺的比賽中有許多的打法，但最後的五分鐘你可以傳球給在低位的Duncan，然後說:好了，大個，我們來個 inside out，又或許，他們傳給Ginobli，一個檔切切入禁區。你需要些球員能夠像這樣子的控制比賽，而這也是我為何喜歡Al，他很特別，他剛22歲，像隻小狗，而他將會成長的 : BS: Can this Wolves team have a winning record this season or even make the : playoffs? BS: 現在的灰狼在這季能有不同以往的勝利嗎？或甚至能打入季後賽？ : KM: I'm not trying to be evasive. I think the easy thing to say is, "Oh no, : no." That's going to be dictated by how these guys play. I don't think : anybody can answer that honestly. Our league now, from the 26, 27 years I've : been in it, has never been so wide open. You're not talking Kareem, Worthy, : Magic. With 30 teams and free agency and all that stuff, the talent level is : not the same. Years ago, you used to have teams that were loaded. You had : teams that had four, five and six hall of famers on a team. Now, if you have : one, you're excited. It's how well you come together. Two years ago, I was : laughing because everybody was like, "The Clippers found the formula." I : said, "Wait a year." And it all imploded on them. The players didn't change. : The year after we went to the Western Conference finals, we didn't make the : playoffs. The togetherness changed. 大概是說，這問題的答案將取決於球員的表現，以前也許一隊中有許多有做苦工的球員但現在只有有一個就夠使人興奮了，很多人覺得兩年前的快艇找到了最佳組合，但一年後，球員沒變，卻沒進入到季後賽。 : BS: Do you have the nucleus of a team that someday can make a championship : run, or are there key players still missing? BS: 你覺得隊伍中有個核心能夠帶領球隊奪得冠軍嗎？或是現在仍然缺乏這號人物？ : KM: There's a great nucleus of young guys. How that evolves is going to be : all up to them. KM: 有個好的核心在這群年輕小伙子中，他們的成長也將決定於他們自己 -- 深夜問題多，回家翻譯最好不過...真的好多阿，已經花了翻得不好的地方請多見諒 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.223.101.46
