Lofty win total has Bulls wanting more http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/nba/columns/story?id=6349886 By Jon Greenberg ESPNChicago.com CHICAGO -- Tom Thibodeau really is a much nicer guy than he looks when he's crouching, yelling and gesticulating on the basketball court. And despite his reputation as a shoot-around sadist, the kind of coach who answers every injury question with some version of "I think he's fine," I've heard people describe Thibodeau as a players' coach. Provided those players are tough, of course. 教練Thibs實際上在他不是在場上吼叫的時候他是一個滿nice的人儘管他的名聲就是瘋狂的虐待球員不斷練習投籃碰到球員傷病他也總是回答: 我覺得他的腳傷還好但是有人也說他是球員的教練當然教好球員不是那麼簡單的 He's certainly a revelation as a coach, the best in the league this season in many people's opinion. 他今年成為總教練的表現是讓人耳目一新他也被許多人認為是本季的最佳教練 But everything you need to know about Thibodeau's intense drive, and why the Bulls are where they are, could be found on the dry erase board at the center of the Bulls' locker room after their 97-92 come-from-behind, season-ending win over the New Jersey Nets on Wednesday night. The marker board was where Thursday's schedule was posted and it didn't say "day off" or "take a whirlpool" or "Rasual Butler Appreciation Day." 你想知道關於Thibs的那些鐵血紀律跟為甚麼今年公牛可以走到這你可以從週三晚上勝籃網後球員置物間白板上寫得字一窺究竟上面寫著週四的行程但不是寫著休息一天或是去用按摩浴缸放鬆一下或是寫著大感謝Butler Instead it read, "Treatment at 2, practice at 4." After all, Chicago hosts the Indiana Pacers at noon Saturday. 而是寫著 " 復健治療下午兩點練習下午四點 " 因為公牛週六就要在主場迎接溜馬隊了 The Bulls rarely practiced after back-to-back games this season, but this was a clear sign the regular season is over. 公牛其實在背靠背比賽後的隔天幾乎不練球的但是這也清楚的宣示季賽已經結束 Good luck making the start of that 7 p.m. fundraiser for President Obama's re-election at Navy Pier, Derrick Rose. Obama總統的選舉募款晚會七點在軍人碼頭開始帶來好運的D. Rose也是受邀賓客 Before the game, someone asked Thibodeau what he thought of the Bulls-Pacers' noon start time Saturday, a particularly undesirable slot, Thibodeau looked annoyed. 昨晚賽前問道Thibs 關於溜馬公牛在中午這個尷尬的時間開打有啥想法他對這個提問感到厭煩 "I don't even know what it is," he said. Thibs：這啥小？我不知道 After the game, he admitted, with a laugh, it's OK to talk about the Pacers now. Just don't get him started on Game 2. 但是在賽後他笑笑的承認說現在可以討論溜馬了但是不要叫我討論第二場!! Thibodeau, the first-year head coach who put in nearly 20 years in the league to get this opportunity, was also asked what the team's epic 62-20 record represented. 這個第一年的新手教練已經致力助理教練於NBA 20年才終於拿到這個執教機會被問到這個球隊偉大的62勝20負季賽紀錄的看法 "I think it means we had a pretty good regular season," he said. "But now you start over again. You're zero-and-zero. We have to understand how we got here. We took care of the things we could take care of, and now we have to prepare for the playoffs." 他說:這代表我們季賽打得很好不過現在一切歸零每一隊都是從新開始我們要理解是完成了甚麼才帶領我們走到這裡我們要好好準備季後賽 Rose, who is on the cusp of winning what is probably the biggest personal honor in team sports, the MVP of the NBA, wasn't crowing about the team's regular season either. 將可能拿到人生在運動生涯最大的個人獎項MVP的Rose 也沒有對季賽成績過於著墨 "It's over with," he said. "I'm not worried about it anymore. I'm happy. I'm definitely happy. I wouldn't like to be on a losing team. But what's the point of celebrating now and you get knocked out of the playoffs? There's no point. There's no point of us even doing good in the regular season if we lose in the first round of the playoffs." 季賽結束了我們不用在擔心了我當然很高興我不想在一個一直輸的球隊中但我們有啥好慶祝的如果在季後賽我們出局了？沒有值得高興如果我們第一輪就輸了 You can't predict a series from quotes, but I don't think Danny Granger's boasting is going to be prescient. 人們不能根據某些人的說法來看季後賽的結果但我也不認為Granger充滿自信的發言會成真 Granger, the Pacers' best player, recently said his team would rather face the Bulls than the Boston Celtics. 溜馬的主將Granger 最近提到他們寧願對上公牛也不願對上普賽 "That's his opinion," Rose said. "I got winners on my team and winners know how to win." Rose說那只是他的觀點我有會贏球的人在球隊上這些人知道如何去贏球 It seems like just yesterday that Rose listed his goals at the team media day. 在去年季賽開始前前Rose 面對媒體說得哪些話就彷彿僅是昨天猶縈在耳 "The way I look at it, within myself, why can't I be the MVP of the league?" he said. "Why can't I be the best player in the league? Why? Why can't I do that?" " 我看待自己的努力後我反問為甚麼我不能成為聯盟MVP, 為甚麼我不能成為聯盟最佳球員為甚麼不可能 " That quote has been repeated since he made it in late September. Less famously, Rose also said this: "We want to be one of the best teams in the NBA. There are no excuses now. We've got everything new -- new players and new coaches. We've just got to go out there and hold everybody accountable and just play hard the whole game, and the whole season." 他的這番話語從他9月說出口之後已經被人反覆的不斷提到了另一段比較沒有那麼有名Rose的話是: " 我們想成為聯盟最佳的球隊之一在有了新球員新教練後我們沒有任何藉口我們只是要去那裡讓大家知道我們的存在跟努力得打整場球跟努力的打整個球季 " Now he's the budding MVP and the Bulls are one of the best teams in the NBA. But whether it is Thibodeau's mind-meld tactics or the players' natural hunger for success, it's evident they're not complacent with success. 現在他將有機會拿到MVP 公牛也成為NBA的最佳球隊之一不過是Thibs說得這些戰術策略成功或是球員本身發自內心的渴望成功這些都只是證明他們不會因現階段成功而自滿的證據 "I don't think that changes anything," Joakim Noah said. "At the end of the day, the best record doesn't help you win a basketball game. You've got to go in there with the mindset that you've got to be on edge for 48 minutes, be really focused and understand it's going to be tough." Noah說:最後一天的最佳戰績到手不能改變甚麼最佳戰績不能幫助我們贏得比賽勝利必須很艱難的挺立在場中48分鐘非常專注的跟理解取得勝利的難處為何 Rose just wants to get this first series underway. Rose只想開始這個系列賽 "I'm even more anxious right now, because I've never been in the situation, in the NBA, where I'm the top seed," he said. "The last two years we were always the underdogs, so I'll have to see how this is going to go. Just to see how things are going to play. Guys, the media, are going to put you ahead because of who you're playing. That really gets to the other team. & There's definitely going to be pressure. I'm just anxious to see how we're going to handle it." Rose說：我反而感到更加焦慮我以前從來沒有處在第一種子的狀況前兩年我們一直都是在後面追趕著其他球隊所以我將要知道該如何去面對對方也才會知道我該怎樣打球這些都帶給大家壓力我感到焦慮到那個時候我又該如何去面對壓力 You're not the only one, Derrick. To paraphrase the guy Rose might be missing Thursday, the Bulls are truly the ones Chicago's sports fans have been waiting for. And now it's time to show up. Rose, 你並不孤單因為公牛隊等待的也正是所有芝加哥球迷所期待的現在正是昭告世人的時候! -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 131.193.54.150 ※ 編輯: eertllams 來自: 131.193.54.150 (04/15 02:28) ※ 編輯: eertllams 來自: 131.193.54.150 (04/15 02:32)
