http://0rz.net/311oL 2005-06 Season In Review - Gerald Wallace Bobcats forward Gerald Wallace doesn’t hesitate when asked what he’ll rem -ember most from the 2005-06 NBA season. 當我們問到Ｇ蛙對於２００５－０６球季印象最深的事情時，他可是一點也不遲疑。 “Injuries,” he laughs, “that is the one thing.” 『傷兵啊～』他笑著說：『也就只有這件事了啦！』 Looking back at the Bobcats second season in Charlotte, it’s hard to overl -ook those injuries. After all, this was a team that missed 257 games to injury or illness this season – second only to Houston (274). Not only that, but Char -lotte also started 28 different starting lineups – third only to New York (42) and Indiana (31). 回頭看看山貓在夏落特的第二個球季，要克服這些受傷情形是很不容易的。總而言之，他們是一支個別球員受傷或生病缺陣場數２５７場的球隊（聯盟裡只比火箭的２７４場少）。而且他們也曾經嘗試過２８種不同的先發陣容（聯盟中只比尼克的４２場以及溜馬的３１場少）。 Still, the Bobcats managed to rack up 26 wins and closed the season on a fr -anchise-best four game winning streak. That’s something that didn’t go unnot -iced by one of the Bobcats co-captains. 即使如此，山貓仍能夠累計２６場勝場，還有在球季結束時拿下隊史最佳的四連勝。不過這些事並沒有被山貓隊兩個隊長之一的Ｇ蛙所注意到。 “I think it’s just showed the heart of this Charlotte Bobcats team,” Wall -ace said. “Despite all the injuries and the obstacles we faced, we were still able to come out and get it done and get to 26 wins.” 『我想這就表現出了山貓隊的精神』Ｇ蛙說：『儘管我們面對這麼多的傷兵以及障礙，我們還是可以克服他們並且拿下２６場勝利』 A large part of why the Bobcats were able to do just that was because of th -e play of the 6-7, 215-pound, fifth-year player who many fans may forget is ju -st 23 years old. 山貓隊能夠有這種表現一個很大的原因，就是他們有一個６呎７、２１５磅、五年球齡的優秀球員，而球迷時常忘記他才只不過２３歲而已。 With Charlotte battling injuries, particularly on the inside to Emeka Okafo -r (ankle), Sean May (knee), Melvin Ely (shin, ankle, migraines) and Jake Vosku -hl (knees, ankle), Wallace got the opportunity to bring back the back-to-the-b -asket style of offense he played in college and high school, showing the rest of the league a new element to his game that made him even more difficult to defend. 在山貓隊跟傷病奮鬥的時候（特別是禁區Emeka Okafor的腳踝、Sean May的膝蓋、Mel vin Ely的小腿、腳踝、偏頭痛、Jake Voskuhl的腳踝與膝蓋），Ｇ蛙掌握了這個機會去發揮他大學與高中的背框進攻本領，讓聯盟其他人知道他在球賽裡的新元素，並且讓他更難以防守。 “I only started playing out on the wing when I got to the NBA,” he said. “I think I just re-polished my back-to-the-basket game so I could get down the -re and bang with those guys in the paint. Every game I went out on that court, I wanted to be in the situation where I would be able to go head-to-head with the best power forwards in the league.” 『我在剛進入ＮＢＡ的時候才開始打外面側翼的位置』他說：『我想我應該可以重拾我背框的進攻能力，這樣子我就可以進入禁區並且給這些傢伙重一擊！每場比賽我上場之後，我總是想著去進入禁區去跟聯盟中最好的大前鋒正面交鋒。』 Wallace’s energy and desire was infectious on the court in Charlotte. If h -is teammates needed a big block, he swatted it away. If they needed a steal, h -e was there to swipe it. If there was a loose ball on the court, he was the fi -rst one to dive after it. If the crowd at Charlotte Bobcats Arena was waiting for a monster dunk, he was there to deliver. Ｇ蛙的能量跟渴望是在夏落特球場裡是很有感染力的。如果他的隊友需要一個大火鍋，他可以立刻把球八掉。如果他們需要一個抄截，他絕對會在那個位置上猛力抄球。如果球在場上滾，Ｇ蛙一定是第一個追在他後面的球員。如果在夏落特山貓廣場的球迷想要一個野獸扣籃，他馬上送上一計！ There is no doubt he was Charlotte’s “G-Force,” and in 2005-06, he made the rest of the league take notice. 毫無疑問的，他是山貓隊的Ｇ-Ｆｏｒｃｅ並且吸引了聯盟其他人的注意。 After improving in numerous statistical categories across the board this se -ason, Wallace placed fourth in the 2005-06 NBA Most Improved Player Award ball -oting. On the season, he posted career highs in points (15.2), field goal perc -entage (.538), rebounds (7.5), steals (2.51) and blocks (2.09) and ended the s -eason ranked first in the league in steals, fourth in field goal percentage an -d 11th in blocks. 在本季大量的數據進步之下，Ｇ蛙在最佳進步球員的獎項上獲得了第四名的選票。本季他總結以生涯最高的平均得分（１５．２）、命中率（53.8％）、籃板（７．５）、抄截（２．５１）以及阻攻（２．０９）。在抄截方面是聯盟第一、命中率排第四、阻攻排第十一。 “I can honestly say I feel pretty good about what I did this season consider -ing I played out of position (inside with all Charlotte’s injuries) most of t -he season,” Wallace said. “I think the team needed me, and they called on me when some of the guys went down. I really had to step up into a couple of role -s this season, and I think I did a good job of doing that.” 『關於本季我在打了整季不同位置的表現，我必須誠實的說：我覺得還挺不賴的。』他說：『我知道球隊需要我，他們在其他人受傷時告訴我要撐起一切。我真的必須去扮演兩個以上的角色本季，而我認為我完成了一個了不起的工作。』 While Wallace was called upon to be more of a scorer in the Bobcats offense this season, it was his defense he took the most pride in when he stepped on th -e court. 本季當Ｇ蛙被要求去擔當得分者角色時，一旦站上球場，還是防守最能令他感到驕傲。 “One of the first things I wanted to do when I first came into the NBA, was work on my defense,” Wallace said. “Anybody can score 30-40 points in a game, but can you stop a guy from scoring 30-40 points? That’s what separates the gr -eat guys from the best in the world. I think if you learn to play defense, you have the chance to be in this league for a long time.” 『在我進入ＮＢＡ時第一件最想做的事情就是加強我的防守技巧。』Ｇ蛙說：『任何人都可以在比賽中得３０－４０分，但是你可以阻止一個人去得到３０－４０分嗎？這（防守）就是區分最棒的球員的方法。我想如果能夠有好的防守本領，你一定會有比較大的機會待在聯盟裡。』 If Wallace continues to put up the defensive numbers he did in 2005-06, he could be in store for a long, successful NBA career. This past season, he becam -e just the third player in the NBA to average over 2.0 blocks and 2.0 steals s -ince the league began recording blocked shots officially in 1973, joining futu -re Hall of Fame centers Hakeem Olajuwon and David Robinson as the players to a -chieve the rare feat, and became the first NBA player to do so in 14 seasons. 如果Ｇ蛙能持續的提供他在２００５－０６球季所表現出來的防守數字，他將會有一個又長又成功的ＮＢＡ生涯。這個球季他成為ＮＢＡ史上第三個平均有２阻攻２抄截以上的球員，自從１９７３年聯盟開始記錄阻攻開始算起，他加入了名人堂候選中鋒Hakeem Ol -ajuwon 以及 David Robinson的行列。 “That’s a great accomplishment for me, considering that both of those guys are centers,” Wallace said. “They are both legit seven-footers, so to be in t -hat company says a lot.” 『對我來說這實在是一個很棒的成績，想想看他們都是中鋒喔。』Ｇ蛙說：『他們都是七呎大漢，所以可以跟他們相提並論代表很多事情。』 So now that the season is over, will Wallace hit the gym and start working on the mid-range jumper he admits he wants to improve? 現在球季已經結束，Ｇ蛙會馬上去體育館報到然後開始練習他承諾要進步的中距離跳投嗎？ “I’m not even looking at it yet,” Wallace laughed again. “I’m looking a -t a beach with some sand and some blue water right now. I just want to give my body some time to rest and heal, but at the same time, I can’t wait to get bac -k at it next year. 『我還沒有想到要練球耶，』Ｇ蛙笑著說：『我現在只想找一個有沙有藍海的沙灘啦！我需要給我身體一些休息與痊癒的時間，不過同一時間，我也是很期待明年球季再度展開的！』 ★Ｇ蛙本季記事 ‧第三位球季平均抄截與阻攻皆達２以上的球員。 ‧三月二十八對老鷹比賽得到隊史與個人得分新高４１分（７７．３％）。 ‧十一月二十八被評為東區單週最佳球。 ‧４３場雙位數得分、２０場二十分以上、１０場Double-Double。 ‧２．５１抄截聯盟第一、２．０９阻攻第十一、五成三八命中率第四、１．３９抄截失　誤比第四。 ‧全隊最高得分１７次、籃板２０次、抄截２７次、阻攻３３次。 ‧一月十三面對公鹿創造個人生涯與NBA本季新高８抄截。 ‧一月十六隊黃蜂創造球季新高６阻攻，本季並有３次單場５阻攻。 ‧本季最佳單場數據：面對公鹿２１分（10/14）、１５籃板（生涯新高）、８抄截、４助攻、４阻攻。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 163.21.235.230 ※ 編輯: EmekaOkafor 來自: 163.21.235.230 (05/23 17:52)
