One of the questions that has dogged LeBron James during his first four NBA seasons is who will become his perfect sidekick, ``his Scot tie Pippen,'' as fans and pundits like to pose. 從James入行四年以來就一直如影隨形的問題是:誰是他的副手. "他的老皮" 應該是誰總是讓球迷與專家意見紛紛. How about Scottie Pippen? 那麼Pippen本人如何? Using the All-Star festivities this weekend as a pedestal, the for mer Chicago Bulls great and running mate to Michael Jordan is making it known that he's attempting a comeback. And he's targeting the Cavs as a potential destination. 以明星週作宣布,這位舊公牛時期MJ的偉大夥伴表達他復出的意願.而騎士是他可能的落腳之處. Pippen, who is 41 and last played in 2003-04, insists that he's back to his playing weight of 220 pounds and is in his best shape in years. Injuries, especially to his knee, forced him into retirement after 17 seasons. 41歳的Pippen在03-04球季結束後退休,但他一直維持球員時期的220磅體重.當初因為傷病,特別是腳踝的傷迫使他結束17年的生涯. Rested and healthy, he's looking for a contender and preferably one that needs some help running the point, where he believes he still can be effective. 狀況良好而且健康如昔,他希望能加入有競爭力的球隊來控球,他相信自己在這位置仍寶刀未老. He said he's not doing it for money -- he would probably get a pro- rated portion of the $1.1 million veteran's minimum -- but because he wants a shot at a seventh championship ring. 他說復出不是為了錢,而是想要個人的第七只冠軍戒--他可能只拿得到110萬的老將薪水. All of which has him interested in the Cavs and the Miami Heat. 他想去騎士跟熱火. "I think there's an opening for me in Cleveland. There may be an opp ortunity there for me at the point,'' Pippen said Friday. ``I know the y're a little young in that area and have a lack of experience, and I think that's an area where I could help them as a team. I will pursue it." "我想騎士可以提供我機會,他們有讓我打控衛的空間.我知道他們有點年輕而且經驗不足,而我在這方面能給予幫助,讓騎士更像一支球隊,我會努力去作."Pippen 週五說. The Cavs probably will wait to see what develops in the trade market before the trading deadline next week before seriously considering Pip pen, who said he still needs time to prepare before he'd sign with anyone. 騎士隊會先等交易截止日以前的狀況發展,再來慎重評估Pippen的可能性,他自己在跟任何一隊簽約前也需要調整. He isn't anything close to the classic point guard the Cavs crave, but he was a distributor his whole career, often playing a "point forw ard" role. Pippen並不是騎士正在找的傳統控衛,但是他整個生涯都在供輸,他是"控球前鋒". Of course, there are major questions about his physical ability, but James said he'd surely be willing to give Pippen a try. 當然最大的問題是他的體能,不過James說他當然樂意請Pippen一試. "Scottie Pippen was one of the 50 greatest players ever,'' James said. "I haven't seen him play in a long time, but his leadership role on any team would be good." "Pippen是史上五十大球星之一" James道 "寡人沒有長時期看他的球賽,但是不管在哪一隊他的領導力都卓越超群." There seems to be little doubt Pippen favors going to Miami. He lives in South Florida and talked about the chances of playing with Shaquille O'Neal and Dwyane Wade on Friday. He also might look at teams such as the Phoenix Suns and the Los Angeles Lakers, which are in need of experienced depth. Still, he insists that the Cavs would be in the running if he is able to return to the league. 看起來Pippen也有些可能跑到熱火,他在那裡長大,也提過與俠客還有Wade並肩作戰的想法.他也會找太陽或湖人這些需要一點老經驗輔助的隊伍.不過目前他還是把騎士當作首選. "The last month I've been training and playing and my body is starting to feel good," Pippen said. "I think I can still be effective. I feel pretty good. I think I can compete at a high level." "這個月來俺都在訓練,身體感覺很好. 我想我可以打的很好,感覺很讚,我想我可以應付聯盟的賽事." He'll have a bit of an audition tonight as he takes part in the Bulls' entry for the Shooting Stars competition, which pits a current player, a retired player and a WNBA player on the court together. 這段講的是他的明星賽行程,略過. Pippen said he'll probably decide next week whether he'll go ahead with the comeback and start to field offers. Pippen表示他下週會正式決定是不是要復出,然後回應各隊的談約. "I'm ready for some limited action," Pippen said. "I have a lot of bask etball knowledge to give. I do miss the game and it is a challenge for me to go out and regenerate what I was." "我準備好大顯身手. 我有一拖拉庫的籃球知識要傳授,我想念比賽的感覺,這也是證明我實力仍在的挑戰" http://0rz.tw/582pe ========================================================================== Ferry最新的回應是 "I'm not sure if there's anything to it, but I think it's something eve ryone will do their due diligence on," Cleveland Cavaliers general manager Danny Ferry told ESPN.com's Chris Sheridan. ========================================================================== 怎麼辦,這老皮好像很熱情說,像購物台的推銷員一樣blabla的一直推銷自己...... 其實叫來當教練應該可以啦,但是他能不能上場打啊? 話說回來騎士隊有個怪處,只要James想要的,制服組都會幫他找XD -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.228.36.126
