http://0rz.tw/be2r8 Could Price be right for Cavs? Posted by Bud Shaw March 01, 2007 18:01PM Having Mark Price in town Saturday watching the Cavaliers in their usual state of fervent prayer at the free throw line seems a little like Pavarotti taking in a yodeling contest. He's not likely to recognize anything he sees as art. Mark Price上週六來觀看騎士隊讓人心驚膽跳的罰球練習，這就好像叫帕華洛帝來看約德爾山歌大賽一樣。他沒辦法承認他看到的東西有任何技術素養。 The NBA's all-time leading free throw shooter embraced the idea long ago that the free throw was, above all else, free. A gift. Kid's play. Look ma, no hands in my face. 這位聯盟史上罰球最準的保持人早就抱持了這個理念：罰球是最重要的，他是免費的好康，是小孩的投籃遊戲。看，老媽！沒有人把手舉在我臉前耶！ "That was the thing my father always harped on," Price said Thursday from A tlanta. "In high school if I had 30 points and 15 assists he'd ask me about the free throws I missed." Price didn't miss often as a high school star in Oklahoma or later at Georgia Tech or with the Cavs. His .906 free throw percent age in the NBA must appear other worldly otherworldly to these Cavaliers, who rank last in the league at 68 percent. 「這是我老爸一直對我碎碎唸的」週四Price在亞特蘭大說道「我高中的時候如果一場得了30分15助攻，他就會來挑我為啥罰球不進的毛病」。Price不管在奧克拉荷馬州的高中時代，還是喬治亞技術學院的大學時代或是騎士隊時期，都很少罰球不進。他九成零六的罰球命中率對照現在騎士聯盟墊底的六成八，就像是另一個世界的產物。 So greatest shooter in franchise history meets Team Clang sounds like an ad for Match.com. 於是隊史最偉大的射手跟球團相約，聽起來好像線上交友網站的廣告。 "I've offered," said Price, who will be honored Saturday with the 1986-87 Cavs. "I'd definitely be open to helping. But a lot of times teams wait for players to initiate it." They also wait until the off-season. Cavs' GM Danny Ferry, Price's former teammate, doesn't need convincing that free throws are a problem. In fact, the profile of the missed free throw is raised because it's fixable trouble. The Cavs didn't get a point guard at the trade deadline. Their amnesia in the half court offense won't suddenly remedy itself. Here's an improvement they can make. 「我有收到邀請」，Price道，本週六他會與86-87球季的騎士球員一起受表揚「我絕對樂於相助，但是大多數情況是球隊等到球員主動提出要求」。他們會一直等到季後， Price的隊友——騎士GM Ferry不用看也知道罰球是一大問題，事實上罰球不進是源自很多複雜因素。騎士沒有在交易日以前獲得一個PG，讓他們的半場進攻失憶症好轉，這是可以改善的一個點。（這一段從Price的話以後就不知道在講什麼鬼，可能是我看不懂作者的表達方式吧） Ferry put Price and Cavs assistant Chris Jent in contact a few weeks ago when Price was in town. The Cavs also had Price sit down and watch tape of point guard play with rookie Daniel Gibson. 幾週前Ferry讓騎士助理教練讓騎士助理教練Jent跟Price會晤過。騎士也花時間讓 Price看了後衛Gibson的錄影帶。 "I think we're addressing our free throw situation seriously," said Ferry, who points out Jent has worked directly with a shooting coach known as "The Shot Doctor." 「我想我們正嚴肅的面對罰球問題」Ferry說，他指出Jent正與一位號稱「射籃達人」的專家努力中。 "At the same time we don't want to confuse the issue in the middle of the season." 「現在季中我們不想把問題弄得更複雜化」。 You could argue the Cavs couldn't look more confused. LeBron James was shooting .678 from the line heading into Dallas where Dirk Nowitzki was knocking them down at 90 percent. Larry Hughes was shooting .667. 你可以質疑騎士隊員好像不太在意這問題。對小牛戰前James只有六成七八，Hughes六成六七，挪威司機一個人九成的命中率就把他們全部電爆。 What Price could tell James is to set his goals higher. James talks about shooting 75 percent in two of the last three years as if that's a high aspira tion. Kobe Bryant shoots 86 percent from the line, Dwyane Wade and Carmelo Anthony 81. Price可以給James的忠告就是高標準要求自己，James說過他前三季有兩季都有七成五的罰球命中率，好像很高水平一樣。Kobe有八成六，Wade跟Anthony有八成一。 "My father just never could understand, especially when it involved pro players, why guys couldn't make their free throws," Price said. 「我老爸從來就搞不懂，特別是職業球員，到底這些人怎麼會罰球不進勒」Price道。 Denny Price was also known as "The Shot Doctor." Price wouldn't mind inher iting the title. 老Price——Denny Price也是以「射籃達人」聞名，Price不介意繼承父親的名號。 He's launching the Mark Price Shooting Lab in Atlanta. He's working out of a building with seven full-size NBA courts. He'll have one room set aside for baskets and cameras and the latest technology. He'll teach the principles that made him such a deadly shooter. "We hope to hold camps," Price said. "I'm visiting with other teams. I'd love the opportunity to help. I feel like this is what I'm best at." 他在亞特蘭大設置了Mark Price投籃研究中心。設備有數座NBA全場球場，有個房間放著攝影機與許多最新科技。Price將傳授自己如何成為一位致命射手的心得「我們想舉辦研習營，我拜訪不少球隊。我很高興能幫上忙，我想這是我最拿手的」。 The Cavs have 25 games to feel better about themselves at the line. The free throw is the short putt on the PGA Tour. Without lightning fast greens and left-to-right sliders. And right now his old team has a terrible case of the yips. 難懂，反正就是騎士還有25場球可以改善罰球，然後作者說罰球就像打高爾夫的輕推桿一樣……blabla的。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.228.34.90
