第一篇： Knight的05-06球季回顧 Veteran guard Brevin Knight knows if not for the Bobcats, his NBA career might have ended two years ago. He’s been paying them back in full ever since, putting together what may be his best two years in the league while in the Queen City. 老後衛Brevin Knight知道，要不是山貓，他的NBA生涯早在兩年前就結束了。從那時候開使，他就竭盡所能的報答他們，為Queen City貢獻或許是他球場生涯裡最好的兩年。 The 5-10, 170-pound guard is still in the league because Bobcats General Manager and Head Coach Bernie Bickerstaff gave something to Knight that every other team wouldn’t – a chance. 這位5呎10吋，170磅的後衛之所以還待在聯盟，是因為山貓的GM以及總教練：Bernie Bickerstaff給了他所有其他球隊不會給他的東西：一次機會。 "(The Bobcats) were committed to me when no other team was committed to me," Knight said. "Two summers ago, a lot of teams said I was done in this league and that I couldn't play here. Bernie gave me a chance." "（山貓）在其他球隊放棄我時，把球隊交到我手裡" ，Knight說道。"兩年前的夏天，很多球隊都說我的NBA生涯已經結束，我已經沒辦法再打下去。而Bernie給了我一次機會" Knight took advantage of the opportunity Bickerstaff and the Bobcats gave him in the Bobcats inaugural season, posting a then-career high 10.1 points in 66 games and ranking second in the league with 9.0 assists. Knight善用Bickerstaff與山貓在第一季給他的機會，在66場比賽裡交出他個人生涯新高的10.1平均得分，並傳出全聯盟第二的每場球9.0次助攻。 With his career revitalized and the opportunity to sign wherever he wanted as an unrestricted free agent in the summer of 2005, Knight entertained offers, but admittedly never gave any other team a second look besides Charlotte. 隨著他的東山再起，在2005年的夏天Knight可以以自由球員的身份與任何一支球簽約。 Knight表面上對每份合約都審慎思量，實際上他除了山貓外沒有看過任何球隊第二眼。 "I was sitting there and begging for somebody to give me an opportunity so I could still play," Knight said of his experience two summers ago. "Last summer, people wanted me to be a part of their different organizations, but I was going to be as loyal to Bernie and this organization as they were to me when they gave me an opportunity." "我坐在那，求其他人給我一個繼續打球的機會，"Knight談起他2年前的經驗時說道。"去年夏天，很多人都希望我能成為他們的一份子，但我將會用如Bernie與這支球隊給我機會時一樣的心態效忠於這支球隊。" He opted to return to the Bobcats and knew an encore to the 2004-05 season was expected, especially with 2005 first round draft pick Raymond Felton – the fifth overall pick and point guard on the National Champion North Carolina Tar Heels – waiting in the wings. 他重回山貓隊，而在2005年山貓以第五順位選進Felton這位北卡冠軍隊後衛後，他知道球對表現會比04-05更好。 Knight delivered for Charlotte in 2005-06 and finished the season ranked second in the NBA behind teammate Gerald Wallace with 2.28 steals and third in the league with 8.8 assists. 在05-06球季結束時，Knight為山貓帶來僅次於隊友Gerald Wallace，全聯盟排名第二的 2.28次抄捷，以及聯盟第三的8.8次助攻。 “Those are things that I am known for,” Knight said. “You want to get better in those areas -- you can’t let the areas that you are pretty good in diminish. I wanted to continue to do those things and add something new to my game.” "這些是我的專長，"Knight說。"你希望在這些領域繼續加強。你不能讓你擅長的領域退步。我希望能繼續這些特質，並且在我的表現裡加進一些新的元素。" What Knight added was an even greater scoring touch. He averaged a career-best 12.6 points, while scoring over 20 points 10 times, including a season-best 28 on February 15 against New Jersey. Knight新加入的元素是得分手感。他創下生涯新高的12.6分，球季裡有10次得分超過20，包括在2月15號對籃網時創下個人本季最高的28分。 “I think becoming a scorer was one of those roles that I started to get used to the more I was called upon to contribute in that way, especially with all the injuries we had,” he said. “It was something I really worked on all summer, and with our need to have another scorer, I think the two really come together. I felt like I was more aggressive this season -- the most aggressive I’ve probably ever been, but it was fun playing that way. I’m going to work on it and hope to come back next year with just as much confidence to do some of the things.” "我認為，當我們有如此多的傷兵時，我開始漸漸習慣扮演一個得分者的角色，因為球隊越來越需要我在這方面貢獻心力，"他說。"我整個暑假都在訓練自己這件事，而當隊上需要得分者時，兩者便合而為一。我覺得我這個球季比較具侵略性（可能是我生涯裡最具侵略性的一次），但是這樣打球真的很有趣。我希望能繼續加強並且在下一季維持在做某些事情時的自信心。" Knight also had the benefit of playing in the most games he had since his rookie season, when he saw the court in 80 contests for the Cavaliers. This season, he seemed to put to rest any questions about his durability, as he played in 69 games and might have played in more if not having been shut down with five games remaining in the season with a strained groin. Knight也在他的新人球季為騎士打個80場比賽後，出賽最多場。這個球季，他讓所有質疑他能撐多久的聲音啞口無言，他本季打了69場比賽，且要不是因為在剩下5場球時拉傷他的鼠蹊部，他會打更多場。 “That was probably one of the big positives for me,” he said. “My body felt good all year, other than the normal bumps and bruises you take from this game. It was a good season for me physically. That’s why I want to go do the same thing this summer that I did last summer, so I can come back and physically be ready to go again. "這對我來說是一大鼓舞，"他說。"除了打比賽固定會有的我的撞傷與淤青，我的身體整季都感覺不錯。這對我來說體能來說是一個健康的球季。這也是為什麼我這個暑假要繼續我上的暑假的訓練，這樣我就可以再健健康康的重回球場蓄勢待發。" “Personally, I did a lot of the things I wanted to do this year. I still wanted to try to get us some more wins and try to get to the playoffs, but I think I got better individually. I think with another summer's work I’ll get a little bit better, and we’ll go from there.” "就我個人而言，我今年做了很多我想做的事。我仍然希望能為我們贏得更多場球賽，也想打進季後賽，但我想我個人有進步。我想我可以透過又一個暑假的努力變得更好，以這樣的狀態開始下個球季" With Knight and Felton paired up successfully in the backcourt midway through the season, the two provide a difficult matchup for opponents. Add to that a healthy Emeka Okafor and Sean May (who both missed significant time with injuries) alongside “G-Force” Gerald Wallace and Primoz Brezec, and Knight sees how bright the future can be for this Bobcats squad. 當Knight跟Felton於季中成功搭檔後，他們成為對手相當難纏的一對。加上健康的Okafor 以及Sean May（他因傷缺席了大半的時間）和"G蛙"Gerald Wallace與Primoz Brezec， Knight在這群山貓球員身上看到了似錦的前程。 “I just want to compete for the playoffs,” he said. “We’ll have our guys back healthy, and with the experience that a lot of our younger guys were able to get this season –Raymond (Felton), Alan (Anderson) and even Gerald (Wallace) -- I look forward to being a lot better next season. I can’t wait to see what comes next.” "我希望能打進季後賽，"他說。"我們會健康的回來，加上很多我們年輕球員這季吸收的經驗（Felton，Anderson與Wallace），我會期待我們下一季變得更好。我已經等不及去看看未來會發生什麼事了。" -- 時間的每一個角落： http://blog.yam.com/rorschach/ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 202.178.206.35
