Seething Arroyo: Jazz made me scapegoat Arroyo 看到：爵士讓我變成代罪羔羊 By Phil Miller The Salt Lake Tribune AUBURN HILLS, Mich. - His final encounter with Jerry Sloan basically symbolized how their relationship had deteriorated over six frosty weeks, Carlos Arroyo believes. Arroyo 相信，他和 Jerry Sloan 的最後一次見面，象徵了他倆關係是如何在短短的六個禮拜之中，急遽下降而結凍。 The Jazz's point guard, warned by his agent that a trade was in the works, went to ask the coach if it was true, and found Sloan on his way to find him. 身為爵士後衛的 Arroyo ，被他的經紀人警告，說交易正在抬面下運作，於是他去問此事是否屬實，然後他在教練正要找他的路上，找到了 Sloan。 They stepped into a conference room, Arroyo said, and he sat down to talk. But Sloan, who informed Arroyo of the trade in a blunt 30-second conversation, merely stood in the doorway, as though, the player felt, he couldn't wait to get away. Arroyo 說，他們走進了一間會議室，然後他開始坐下並說話。不過 Sloan 直接不拐彎抹角的在三十秒內告訴他交易的消息，差不多就只在門邊而已。然後 Arroyo 離開了，他巴不得快點走出去。 "He wouldn't even sit down," Arroyo recalled Saturday. "He didn't want to talk to me, even then." Arroyo回想：「他甚至連坐下都不想」「就算到了那個時候，他都不想對我說話。」 There's a reason for that, the 25-year-old point guard, swapped to Detroit 10 days ago for a first-round draft pick, contends: "He just didn't like me." 這就是為什麼這個二十五歲，十天前拿去活塞換一個第一輪選秀權的後衛，聲稱：「他就是不喜歡我。」 Arroyo's season hasn't come close to resembling the triumphant tour of the NBA that he planned last July, when he signed a four-year contract with the Jazz. He has bounced from injury to losing streak to benching to a trade. The capper came Saturday when Trevor Ariza's swipe at the ball broke Arroyo's nose, a fracture that will require surgery on Monday to repair, and a protective mask on his face for the next few weeks. Arroyo的這個球季不像他去年七月，剛和爵士隊簽約，想像中的，應該是連勝不止的那樣。他從受傷，到連敗，一路到了被交易出去。最慘烈的頂點是禮拜六被 Ariza掃到鼻子，整個鼻子被打到禮拜一要開刀治療，然後他之後幾個禮拜也會變成面具人了。 But even a broken nose doesn't come close to the pain Arroyo feels when he considers the ugly, bitter divorce from Sloan and the Jazz. 不過就算是鼻子被打到的痛，也沒有被爵士和 Sloan混亂又醜陋的結束關係，那樣來的刻骨銘心。 And the anger that obviously stirred in him when he recalls how the team portrayed the trade as purely a basketball decision. 然後這種憤怒很明顯的，表現在當他回想到，這支隊伍形容，交易他只是個「只關籃球」的決定。 "I went from a starter, to not starting, to the fourth point guard. That doesn't happen all of a sudden because of how I play - it's beyond that," Arroyo said, his eyes sharp with anger. "At the end, I think it was personal. You know, when you stop talking to somebody, when you won't even acknowledge somebody. When you can't even say, 'I'm not going to play you, I'm going to play this guy, and here's why.' Arroyo 的眼睛裡閃爍著憤怒說：「我從先發，到不是先發，到一路跌到了第四順位的控衛。那不是全部突然只是因為我怎麼打球的 -- 那是因為其他更高層次的事。」「最後，我想是因為私人因素。」當你開始不和某些人說話，當你甚至沒有察覺到某人的存在。當你什麼都不能說。『我不要放你上場，我要讓他上，這就是原因』。」 "When you don't even tell me that after I've been there [three] years, [and] you've given me a contract. I feel I was one of the key guys, and you can't talk to me? That's not basketball, that's personal." 「當你在我都待在這裡三年，甚至不想對我說為什麼的時候，你簽下了我。我感覺我是重要人物之一，然後你不對我說話？這已經不干籃球的事了，這是私人的問題。」 He believes his relationship with Sloan poisoned his relationship with Kevin O'Connor, too. The Jazz's senior vice president of basketball operations never contacted him after the trade, and, "It's not how professionals behave," he said. "You would think that, when you work with an organization for three years, he would call and say, 'Thanks for what you did.' " Only O'Connor's secretary and assistant coach Gordon Chiesa called that day, he said. 他相信他和 Sloan的關係也同時使他和 KOC的關係變的糟糕。爵士隊的籃球事務副總裁在交易之後甚至沒有打電話通知他，而且「這不是一個職業的行為。」「你會想，當你在一家公司工作了三年，他應該會打過來然後說：『謝謝你為我們做的一切。』」只有 KOC的秘書，還有助理教練 Chiesa那天有打過來，他說。 Arroyo believes he was made a scapegoat for the Jazz's worst season in more than two decades, taking blame for all the problems that beset the young team. He believes the coach had a double standard in dealing with his shortcomings, as when Sloan suggested that Arroyo didn't work out on his own enough. Arroyo相信，他是爵士隊二十年來最糟戰績一年的戰績的代罪羔羊，（要他）把所有關於這個年輕球隊的責難和問題全部扛下來。他相信他的教練對這樣的不足之處，有著雙重標準，然後 Sloan說， Arroyo 努力的還不夠。 "He said I didn't work out, but I went at night. You can ask my wife," Arroyo insisted. "But that's not the point. Why me? Why do I have to go and shoot? Why not everybody? That's not a team way. He always said, 'Don't point fingers. Look at yourself first.' Well, does that only go for us?" Arroyo堅稱：「他說我不練習，不過我都晚上去。你可以問我老婆。」「不過這不是重點，。重點是：為什麼是我？為什麼我要上場然後練投？為什麼不是別人？這不是一個『球隊』的搞法。他總是說：『不要指別人，先看看你自己』。嗯，這句話只對我們適用？」 And Sloan's suggestion that Arroyo didn't understand what was expected of him? That part, Arroyo agrees with. 且， Sloan說 Arroyo 不瞭解他對 Arroyo的期待。關於這點， Arroyo同意。 "Sometimes they said they wanted me to shoot more and be more aggressive. Then sometimes they tell me I'm not passing the ball enough," he said. "It was very weird." 「有時候他們說他要我積極點，多投籃。但是有時候他們告訴我，我傳太少球了」「這真的很怪。」 The Jazz were a close-knit unit a year ago, Arroyo said, and he believed this year's team would be, too. But the team's spiral into last place - the Jazz went 9-25 from the day he returned from the injured list to the day he was traded - has cracked that unity, he said. Arroyo 說，爵士隊上個球季還是很團結的一整隊，而他相信今年應該也要是。不過當這支球隊慢慢的跌到了最後一名的時候，（他們在 Arroyo 從 IL 回來，到他被交易掉中間，是個 9勝25敗），已經破壞了這樣的團結。 "When you start losing, you start pointing fingers, and we had that," he said. "We had a lot of selfishness, and guys wanting to shoot all the time, and if they didn't touch the ball, they would get mad and stop playing defense." 他說：「當你開始輸的時候，你開始指別人，而我們就是這樣。」「我們變的很自私，大家總是一直要等著投籃，然後如果他們接不到球，他們會開始不爽，然後不防守。」 The Jazz were only 5-11 with Arroyo in the starting lineup, and his play was clearly less confident and energetic than a year earlier. 在 Arroyo 先發的時候，爵士隊只有個 5-11，而且他很明顯的和上個球季比起來，沒有那麼有自信和有活力。 Arroyo's frustrations bubbled to the surface on Dec. 14, when he gestured at Sloan from the court. Then they snapped at each other when Arroyo was taken from the game. Arroyo 的挫折在他去年12月14號在場上比了一下 Sloan之後，浮出了水面。然後他們兩個在 Arroyo 離場的時候，互瞪了一下。 From that point, he said, he had no future with the Jazz. He and Sloan publicly made up three days later, and, "I thought it was settled. But then look what happened." 從那個時候開始，他在爵士已經沒有未來了。 Sloan 和他在三天之後公開和好了。「我以為這樣就解決了，不過你看，之後（事情的發展）是怎樣。」 Sloan benched him, gradually reduced his playing time in favor of Raul Lopez and Keith McLeod, and after briefly restoring him to the rotation, stopped playing him completely just before the trade. Sloan 把他放上板凳，慢慢減少他的上場時間，換上他喜歡的 McLeod 和 Lopez ，然後短暫的把他放回輪值圈裡，之後在交易之前，完全把他 DNP。 Raja Bell advised Arroyo to approach the coach and ask him how they could repair their relationship. But Arroyo insists it would have done no good. Bell提醒 Arroyo應該要接近教練，並且問他怎麼樣修補他們的關係。不過 Arroyo堅持這一點用都沒有。 "Actions speak louder than words, and his actions showed what he wanted to do. No matter what I went to talk to him about, he had his mind made up already," Arroyo said. "He was the coach, and he wasn't going to change his mind. I didn't talk to him - he told [reporters] I needed to show him that I should be playing, be more vocal, show my attitude was changing. But it's hard when you don't give me the opportunity. He said 'McLeod is showing me he wants it more.' Well, you don't give me opportunities. In practice, I'm the fourth guy. How am I supposed to show you what you want?" 「事實勝於雄辯，當他表現怎樣，那就是他在想什麼。不論我怎麼跟他講，他已經下定決心了。」「他是教練，他不會改變心意。我不和他說話 -- 他告訴（記者）我需要表現我為什麼可以上場，用講的，表現我的態度已經轉變了。不過當你不給我機會的時候，這很難。他說：『McLeod正在表現給我看，他想要上場。』嗯，你不給我機會，當我們練習的時候，我是第四個上的。我怎麼表現給你看你想要的？」 The Puerto Rican still maintains that he is happy he signed with the Jazz, and is grateful to the franchise - and to Sloan - for the playing time last season that won him that $16 million contract. And though he didn't want to leave Utah and his new home, he's happy the Jazz traded him to Detroit. 這個波多黎各人還是堅持他很高興可以和爵士簽約，而且他去年在爵士隊，還有 Sloan手下打了一整年，並且為他賺來的一千六百萬的合約，是很高興的。並且，雖然他不想離開猶他，還有他的新家，他很高興爵士隊把他交易到活塞。（譯按： Arroyo 才剛在猶他州買了新房子。） "It's so different here. It's a family. We understand we have to win, and we're all working together to succeed," said Arroyo, who backs up starter Chauncey Billups. "Since I got here, everybody has been so welcoming. Everywhere I go, in restaurants, people come over and say, 'Welcome to Detroit.' I haven't got that feeling for a long time." 「事情很不一樣。這就像一個家，我們知道我們想要贏，而且我們都很努力的往成功的方向前進。」他在活塞當 Billups的候補。「當我來到這裡，每個人都很歡迎我，我到每個地方，餐廳啊，人們總是過來跟我說：『歡迎來到底特律。』我已經很久沒有這種感覺了。」 It seems to be mutual, so far. Pistons coach Larry Brown was glowing in his assessment of his new guard, saying, "He gets guys easy baskets. He's creating good shots." The Pistons allow Arroyo to run a more hectic pace, a high-risk, high-turnover style. 這似乎是互相的。 Larry Brown漸漸的開始瞭解這個控衛：「他讓隊友可以輕鬆有投籃的機會，他也可以投籃。」活塞讓 Arroyo 帶球帶的更活潑，一種更高危險，更多失誤的方式。（譯按：有點酸....） "They appreciate what I bring to the team here, and that's something that helps your confidence," he said. "It motivates you to succeed." Can the Jazz succeed, too? 「他們很欣賞我帶來球隊的，而這樣可以增加你的自信。」「這會激發你的成功。」然而，爵士隊可以成功嗎？ "I believe in the guys there. I believe in the character of the players. None of them want to lose. It's very sad to see a good team lose the way we were," said Arroyo, pausing for a moment. "But it's not always the players' fault." 「我相信在那邊的前隊友們。我相信球員們的個性。他們沒有一個想要輸球的。看一個好球隊輸成像我們之前那樣，其實很難過。」Arroyo說。停頓了一下。「不過這不會永遠都是球員的錯。」 pmiller@sltrib.com -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.112.249.125
