Ever since he entered the league in 2004, Josh Smith has been treating the basketball world with highlight reel dunks on a nightly basis. While he still gets above the rim routinely, J-Smooth has also developed an all-around game. He has become one of the league’s all-around threats averaging 16 ppg, 7.3 rpg, 4.4 apg, 2.6 bpg, 1.6 spg, while shooting 58.9 percent from the field. We caught up with Smith before the Hawks dismantled the Knicks 114-101 last night. Dime: So far this season you have improved a lot of your stats from assists to field goal percentage. Coming into this season, was it your goal to be more well rounded? Josh Smith: Of course I try to always get better all-around. I just try to do whatever I can to make an impact on the court. I just try to make the right decisions and be in good spots. If you seen us play, I’ve always been a good passer. This year, I have a lot of options to pass to. There’s a lot of guys who can make shots, so I try to just create plays when available. Dime: Like I was saying your field goal percentage is way up, and I’ve also noticed you haven’t taken a single three yet this season. Have you made it a point to get away from shooting jumpers? JS: Yeah I wanted to focus on driving to the lane and making mid-range shots. We got a lot of guys on this team who can hit it from behind the arc so it allows me to focus on other things. Dime: You are proving to be one of the more valuable role players in the league. Do you think you’re capable of being the go-to guy on a team some day? JS: I’m capable of being it. Right now, I am fine just playing off others. I don’t feel I have to focus on being a go-to player on a team anymore because we have so many weapons and you can be an important contributor in other ways. Dime: How far can this team go? JS: We can go as far as we want to go. We’re a talented group of guys. We’ re confident. All we have to do is stay together and play unselfish. Dime:Does it bother you that some people just view you as just a dunker? JS:I mean no. I mean a lot of players before me, who have been in or won a dunk contest is always labeled as just a dunker. They labeled Vince Carter as a dunker early on when he won it. And he proved himself as an all around player and that’s all you got to do to erase that label. Dime: You were also labeled early in your career as having a poor attitude. Did that bother you and did you think some of the criticism was justified? JS: I really didn’t pay attention to it because people said it, were people that didn’t know me. It was people who didn’t know the situation. It was mainly people being influenced by something they read. If you read something that somebody writes about another person, it influences you and makes you kind of gullible. So you can’t judge a book by its cover unless you read it. Dime: Being an NBA player with money, I’m sure there are people coming out of nowhere wanting things from you. Are you still suspicious of letting new friends in your life? JS: No I’m not. I kind of kept my circle close, didn’t let anyone else in my circle. As long as you don’t add new friends, you don’t have to worry about somebody liking you because of your money instead of for your love. Dime: Was there any point in your career where you ever wished you went to college? JS:No there wasn’t. Because you go to college to get to the NBA and that’s everyone’s wild fantasy and your dream. So I always wanted to live my dream. When I was in high school, an opportunity presented itself and I was down for it. A lot of my teammates say ‘you missed it, you missed out on college life. ’ But down the street from me as a rookie was UGA. I had a couple of friends down there, so when they all wanted to hang out, I did anyway. Dime: What do you want to do when your career is over? JS: I’m not sure. Commentating is something that interests me. It’s challenging. That or something that has to do with basketball. I love the game so much, and I’m so in tuned to everything that’s going on. I’m also a sports fanatic, I watch a little bit of everything. Dime: You have been with the Hawks for the past five seasons. Is this a team that’s big on hazing rookies? Were you hazed? JS: No they tried to haze us a little bit. When I came in, it was four of us rookies, so we were like brothers and we really didn’t let anybody run us over. I don’t really do hazing. I ask them to do a little something for me here and there for me, but nothing too crazy. http://dimemag.com/2009/11/josh-smith-tells/ 自從2004年進入聯盟以來，J.Smith每晚都用精彩的扣籃來讓整個籃球界大飽眼福。場均16分7.3板4.4助攻2.6蓋帽1.6搶斷，58.9%的命中率，他已經成為聯盟裏屈指可數的全能球員了。在昨晚老鷹114-101擊潰國王後，我們找到了他。 Dime: 這一季，從助攻到命中率，你的數據亮眼多啦。那麽今年，你的目標就是變得更全能？ Josh Smith: 當然我一直是朝那方面努力的啊。我只是盡自己所能，來改變場上局面而已；我只是做出正確決斷，出現在正確地點而已。如果你看過我們的比賽的話，你會發現我的傳球一直不錯。今年呢，我的傳球對象多了不少。隊裏面很多人有一手好籃子，所以在適當的時候，我會創造出機會的。 Dime:像我剛才提到過的，你的投籃命中率在進步，而且我也註意到這一季你一個三分都沒射。你是不是將其作為自己遠離跳投手這個形象的標誌呢？ JS: 是啊是啊，我只是想全神貫注執行戰術，還有中距離。我們隊裏能投好三分的人不少，所以我就可以更注意別的方面了。 Dime: 你一直得算是聯盟裏最有價值的球員之一。你認為將來你有能力成為球隊的當家球星麽？ JS: 當然能的。現在，給別人當小弟也不錯，我不需要專註於成為球隊的老大，因為我們隊有這麽多好球員。你可以在別的方面為球隊做貢獻啊。 Dime: 這支球隊能走多遠？ JS: 想走多遠就能走多遠。我們是一群天才啊。我們自信滿滿。我們只需要團結協作不自私就好。 Dime:有些人認為你只是個扣將，是不是讓你很煩惱啊？ JS: 不是的。我的意思是，在我之前，很多參加或者贏得扣籃冠軍的球員都被貼上扣將標簽了。當年VC奪冠時，他們不也把他當做扣將麽。之後他證明了自己是全能球員，然後你們就會把他身上的標簽撕下來啦。 Dime: 在職業生涯早期，你也被稱為態度有問題。這個說法困擾過你嗎？是不是真的啊？ JS: 這我倒真沒註意過。說這些話的人必然是不了解我的人。他們只不過是被讀到的那些東西誤導了。如果你讀了那些其他人寫的東西，然後被它影響了，你也就算是被蒙蔽了。所以耳聽為虛，眼見為實嘛。 Dime: 作為NBA球員，你自然很有錢了。我相信肯定到處都有人想要問你要這要那。你對你的新朋友有疑心沒？ JS: 沒有，我不是這樣子的。我有一個自己的封閉的小圈子，不對外人開放。假如你不交新朋友的話，你自然不必擔心有些人瞧上你不是因為友情，而只是因為你的錢了。 Dime: 你這一生裏，就從來沒想過上大學麽? JS:是啊，真是沒想過。上大學然後去NBA是你們每個人的終極幻想。而我也有自己的夢想。當年在高中時，機遇就擺在我面前，我在考慮它。很多隊友都說‘你錯過了它，就錯過了大學生活啊’。但是當時要我的是UGA（喬治亞大學）。在那我也有一批朋友。所以看看他們都只想到處逛著玩（意為大學生活無聊），我就決定參加選秀啦。 Dime: 退役了你想做什麽？ JS: 還不清楚呢。我對當個評論員很感興趣。這事很有挑戰性啊。而且還和籃球有點關系。我癡迷籃球，所以愛屋及烏了。我也算是個狂熱體育迷，什麽東西我都看。 Dime: 在鷹隊，你已經待了5年啦。在這支球隊裏，欺負菜鳥的歪風邪氣很嚴重麽？你當年沒被欺負吧？ JS: .他們可一點也沒打我們的主意。我進隊的時候，總共有我們4個新秀，我們就像兄弟一樣，堅決抵抗外界侵犯勢力。我也不欺負菜鳥們。我倒是讓他們給我這啊那啊地幫點小忙，可沒搞什麽太惡的事啊。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 82.139.87.216
