Jazz playing for personal pride Harpring says team wants to finish strong By Tim Buckley Deseret Morning News http://www.desnews.com/dn/view/0,1249,600124533,00.html (本篇是在慘敗灰狼後，和小蜜蜂比賽之前) : NEW ORLEANS — With eight games to go in their 2004-05 NBA season, : including tonight's visit to New Orleans, the Jazz are having a tough time : finding much except the obvious for which to play. : Personal pride is a given. : Beyond that lies only the future. 包括今晚的黃蜂之戰，2004-05 賽季只剩下八場比賽，處境艱難的爵士不為別的，只為了某個明確的目標而戰。那就是自尊。未來就在不遠處。 : At this point, little more incentive than just that — looking ahead : — is left for a 23-51 team with vacation on the imminent horizon. : "We want to set a tone for next year," Jazz co-captain Matt Harpring : said. "You always want to end the year strong, going into the offseason : with a good feeling." 此時此刻，對一個 23勝51敗的隊伍而言，還稍能讓人振奮的－向前瞻望－假期就在不遠處的地平線上。 " 我們想為明年開個好調, " 爵士隊的共同隊長 Matt Harpring 說 " 你一定會想堅強地走完這季，讓球季結束時能有愉悅的心情 " : Throughout the season, the Jazz have felt anything but good, making : it easy to pinpoint all that's gone wrong. 整個球季對爵士隊而言，絲毫感覺不到稱心如意，這反而使他們容易去鑽研那些糟透了的事情。 : "For the entire season," big man Jarron Collins said after Utah's : latest debacle, a 111-86 loss at Minnesota on Wednesday night, "we've had a : group of guys trying to do the right thing, and another group of guys not : playing Jazz basketball, for one reason or another. 經歷了最近爵士隊的大災難－在星期三以 111-86 輸給明尼蘇達， Jarron Collins 說: " 整個球季中，不知為何，有一群人嘗試去做正確的事，但另一群人打的根本不是 Jazz basketball。 " : "It's hurt us this entire year," Collins added. "There are times we : don't execute, there are times we play selfish basketball and we don't help : each other out on defense." " 這傷害了我們整整一年，有時我們不能執行戰術，有時我們打球自私，在防守的時候不互相幫忙。 " : Wednesday was one of those times. : Minnesota led 31-8 after one quarter — the Jazz scored just three : more points in the first 12 minutes than they did in their lowest-scoring : quarter in franchise history — and Utah trailed by as many as 39 in the : fourth. 星期三的比賽正是如此。明尼蘇達在第一節取得 31-8 的領先－爵士在最初的 12 分鐘裡，僅僅比隊史上的單節最低得分多了 3 分－在第四節更是一度落後了 39 分之多。 : No wonder Timberwolves star Kevin Garnett sounded much more flip than : sincere afterward, saying, "The focus left Utah when we were up 35." : If Wednesday was a blur, tonight may be like reading the bottom line : of an eye chart with glasses off and contact lenses out. 這也難怪森林狼的明星 Kevin Garnett 帶點無禮而非誠懇地說 "當我們領先 35分，爵士隊已經失去了專注。" 如果將星期三比喻成模糊，今晚的比賽像是不戴眼鏡和隱形眼鏡鏡片看著視力檢查表的最底排一般。 : At 18-56, New Orleans is one of just three teams — Charlotte and : Atlanta are the other two — with fewer wins than Utah this season. : Still, Jazz coach Jerry Sloan — who was kicked out with two : technicals in Wednesday's opening quarter, marking his first ejection of : the season — will watch tonight with a particular purpose in mind. 18勝56敗的紐奧良，是本季和夏洛特以及亞特蘭大同為勝場數比爵士隊少的三隊之一。然而，爵士教練 Jerry Sloan －在星期三的比賽開局即被吹判兩次技術犯規驅逐出場，是他本季的第一次－他將會帶著特殊的目的來看待這場比賽。 : "We find out, in tough situations," Sloan said, "who is going to step : up and play or who really even looks like they enjoy basketball." : That, Harpring suggested, is why he remains one of the few Jazz : players still fighting each and every time he steps on the floor. : The veteran forward knows not just Sloan and the Jazz, but rather : teams from throughout the league, are keeping a keen eye on Utah as its : April 20 finale at Golden State nears. Sloan 說: " 我們將會發現，在艱難的時刻，誰是在場上奮戰、誰是看起來在享受玩樂籃球的人。 " 那就是為何 Harpring 是少數的一踏進場上便無時無刻奮戰的爵士球員之一。這個老經驗的前鋒知道不僅僅是 Sloan 和爵士隊，所有聯盟中的球隊在金州勇士逐漸逼近時，對猶他爵士隊投以銳利的目光，有如響起 4月20號的最終樂章。 : "It's always easier to play when you're winning. You're confidence is : always up, your team morale is (good)," Harpring said. "When you're down, : it's tough." "當你贏球時總是輕鬆打，因為你信心滿滿，你的球隊士氣高昂。" Harpring 說: " 當你失意時，一切都變得艱難。 " : Closer to home, Harpring hopes some of his strong play in weak times : will rub off on certain teammates. Rookies Kris Humphries and Kirk Snyder : come quickly to mind. 離家更近了，Harpring 希望他一些在弱勢時期的強韌打法能夠激勵隊友，像菜鳥 Kris Humphries 和 Kirk Snyder 等人能儘快牢記在心。 : He, Harpring said, is merely trying to show "these young guys . . . : how to work hard, how to play every night." : "Hopefully these guys learn," the Jazz co-captain said, "because in : two or three years, they're going to be the leaders." Harpring 說他很少試著去表達"給這些年輕小夥子如何努力、如何每晚奮戰。" " 希望他們能學到, " 爵士隊共同隊長說 " 因為在兩三年內，他們將成為領導者。 " -- 因為翻得不好，所以加入了原文方便對著看... orz -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 134.208.40.95
