BOBCATS HEAD COACH SAM VINCENT (Opening statements) 山貓總教練Sam Vincent 開場白 Good afternoon everybody. This is obviously an exciting day for me as the new head coach of the Charlotte Bobcats to be involved in with the first draft, but more importantly bringing the guys in and having a chance just to chat with these guys. It’s a pretty exciting moment. We’ll take a little time and introduce these guys and let them express some of their comments on how they feel about this opportunity. But before we do that, let me just say I thought the draft went very well. We were excited about the trade that we were able to make to get, what we feel, is a proven NBA scorer—a guy that can come in and we can use as a go-to guy and a guy that has had a successful scoring record to this point. So we are excited about Jason Richardson. We’ re looking forward to him coming in and having the opportunity to spend some time with him and, of course, introduce him to you as well. 大家午安。身為新的總教練，我很興奮能夠參與今年的選秀，並且有機會和這幾個大傢伙聊聊。這是一個讓人興奮的時刻。我們將花一點時間介紹他們，然後讓他們發表一些他們的感想。不過在那之前，我必須說我對這次選秀很滿意。我們很高興能夠順利的完成交易，讓我們換到一個絕佳的得分手，他有能力成為我們的go-to guy(不太會翻就是遇到麻煩時會第一個想到的幫手)而且他也在他的數據中證明了這點。我們很期待Jason Richardson。我們期待他的到來與我們相處，並且向你們好好介紹他。 (On Jared Dudley) Obviously you guys know him. He was the ACC Player of the Year. He’s a guy that I was really impressed with when he came in for the workouts, a guy that we followed, a hard-nosed player, a guy that can score the ball, and a guy that we believe is going to come in and give us some of the things we’re looking for. Obviously it’s got to be pretty tough for a young guy coming into the city with all the excitement that surrounds being drafted and coming into the NBA. But I can honestly tell you from what we’ve seen on film and from just some of our early conversations with Jared, guys we think this is going to be a great pick. It’s going to be a guy that we already know, like I said earlier, can score the ball and is a good defensive player. But we’re looking for winners. And we’ve talked about it all along; we’re not going to sacrifice talent for good people. So a big part of this draft is not only about identifying good players but more importantly, it’s been about identifying good people. And we know that the media is going to hold us accountable and we know that every single person that comes in and works on the staff or on the coaching staff or one of the players has got a high standard to live up to. These are the kinds of people that we want to make sure we bring in. (針對Jared Dudley) 很明顯的，你們都認識他。他是大西洋區年度最佳球員。他來參加訓練時讓我對他產生非常好的印象。他是一個頑強並且能幫我們大量取分的選手。想必一名年輕小子在轉換環境，搬移到全新的城市，加入NBA這個全新戰場的過程中是相當的無所適從。不過我可以老實告訴你，從一些我們觀看的影片以及與Jerad的談話中，我們都覺得他是一個很好的選擇。感覺就像在挑選一名確定能夠大量取分並且帶來防守的球員。不過我們目標只有贏球。而且就如我們一再強調，人格與能力同等重要。所以這次選秀我們不僅著眼於球員能力，也相當重視球員的個性。我們對於一起工作的員工或選手都是抱持一樣的高標準，並且希望我們能引來這樣的人。 (On Jermareo Davidson) Jermareo, again, was a guy that as we talked about what we wanted to fill in our draft, we wanted to get scoring. We thought Jason Richardson was a proven scorer. We felt Jared Dudley was an up-and-coming scorer. But another need that we identified was a big athletic power forward or five. We just felt like that was something we wanted to get stronger in that capacity of having somebody that could be a shot blocker, a low post scorer and just an athletic big. So as we started to get to the end of the draft, and we weren’t sure what was still going to be on the table, we were all surprised that Jermareo was still there. Jermareo came in for the workout and did a real good job. We feel like he has a lot of those skills that we were looking for, so we’re excited to have him. We got him a little bit later in the draft, but we think he comes in and he fulfills a need that we think we need on this team. (針對Jermareo Davidson) 選Jermareo的目的就是要增強我們的進攻。雖然說Jason Richardson跟Jared Dudley都具有很強的得分能力，可是我們需要另一名體能勁爆的大前鋒。我們想要一名能夠漂亮的賞火鍋，還能低位單打的選手。當選秀進行到後面，我們以為已經沒什麼人好選了。結果很驚訝的發現Jermareo還沒被選走。他來這邊訓練的過程也表現很好。因為他擁有我們所想要的特質，所以我們對他很抱期待。雖說我們在比較晚的順位選到他，可是他恰好能補足我們所需。 (On never having too many bigs on the roster) To answer that question, I think we are comfortable with where we are right now. I think a lot of evaluation will go through the rest of the summer in terms of Jake (Voskuhl), you mentioned, is unrestricted and has opted out. So we’ll continue, I guess, to try and sign him and we’ll see how that goes. We ’ll have a chance now to see Jermareo play over the next few weeks for summer league in Orlando and get a feel for his game. We know some of the other big guys that we have. If we feel that through this evaluation process that we need to get a little bit bigger, from what I understand, we still have some free agency money available and there are still a lot of guys out there looking for job opportunities. We’ll go out and make those moves at the necessary time. As of right now, we are comfortable with the decisions that we have made. (大個子球員永遠不嫌多) 我們對現在的陣容很滿意。暑假的期間，我們會考慮簽下Jake Voskuhl。在這的同時，我們在夏季聯盟的比賽中，可以看看Jermareo表現如何。如果我們還覺得有什麼不足，我們也有一些薪資空間來簽自由球員。不過就以現階段來說，我們都隊陣容很滿意。 (On both guys impressing in their predraft workouts for the Bobcats) Jared came in and got in a little bit late and was working out with some guys that weren’t necessarily his size. Jermareo actually came in with some guys that weren’t necessarily his size. But all along, we’ve said that it wasn’ t going to be necessarily the workouts that were going to determine who we were selecting in this draft. It was more the body of their work over the last few years. We weren’t overly concerned with the fact that Jared came in and was a little bit late. We were more focused on the fact that he had a solid career at BC (Boston College). And it’s been the same with Jermareo. We felt that after watching a lot of video, that this was a guy that could come in and give us some specific things that we were looking for. So the individual workouts that lasted for an hour really weren’t the deciding factors on these selections. (兩名新秀都在訓練中表現強眼) Jared來的比較晚，結果落得跟一群身材不搭的球員一起訓練。事實上，他是跟他們一起來的。不過實際上，訓練的過程不是我們最重視的項目，而是球員這幾年的總體表現。我們不太在意Jared的遲來，因為更重要的是他在波士頓大學的驚人表現。對於Jermareo 也是一樣的。在我們看了很多影片後，我們查覺他就是我們要的人才。所以說選秀前的訓練其實沒有怎麼影響我們的決策。 (On now having to replace Brevin Knight at the backup point guard spot) Yep, well we feel pretty confident that we’re going to have to replace him. When you look at our roster right now, probably the one area where we’ve got to strengthen up a little bit is the point guard spot. Brevin Knight, we know he’s been popular in this area and he’s been a solid player on this team. But there was a joint decision made that we wanted to move a different direction. So right now, we’ve got some free agent experienced point guards on the board, and we’ve got some young guys that we’re going to look at down in Orlando. It’s also part of the evaluation process, just seeing what we can figure out to come in and sure up that back court in our point guard spot. We feel confident that we will be able to find some help in this point guard spot. (現在需要找到取代Brevin Knight替補控球後衛的球員) 沒錯，我們蠻肯定他將被取代。現在放眼我們的陣容，最需要加強的就是控球後衛這個位置。Brevin Knight是個熱門而且稱職的控球後衛。不過我們決定要換個方向發展。所以現在我們考慮一些老經驗的自由球員或是奧蘭多的年輕小夥子。我們很自信可以找到適合的人才。 (On what he means by “a joint decision”) “Joint decision” meaning discussions with Bernie (Bickerstaff) and how things went for the team last year, discussions with Rod (Higgins) in terms of the direction of how we’re trying to move, and then also some conversation obviously with Michael (Jordan). So I think a lot of the decisions are kind of based on where this organization has been, how we’re going to improve, and what it’s going to take to improve. And obviously you’ ve got different people with different opinions, but ultimately we like to get on the same page at the end and move in that direction. (關於球隊如何做出決策) 跟Bernie Bickerstaff討論去年的發展，還有跟Rod Higgins討論我們要轉換的方向，另外還有跟Michael Jordan做一些討論。所以這些決策都基於我們的過去，還有我們的展望，以及發展所要付出的代價。雖說大家都有不同的意見與期望，不過最後我們還是取得共識，並且決定往那個方向發展。 (On if Jeff McInnis is the answer at the backup point guard spot) It’s premature for me to answer that question right now. I think that’s probably another discussion that we need to have on exactly where Jeff McInnis fits into it, and we really haven’t gotten into that one yet. I’m sure we will at some point real soon, but probably not something I can discuss right now. (Jeff McInnis是否替補控球後衛的解答) 現在講這些都言之過早。我們還需要討論如果Jeff加入之後，他在球隊的確切定位為何。我相信不久後我們就會有結論，不過現階段我沒有答案。 (On the pressure rookies and other players might face on the Bobcats with Michael Jordan watching) Michael’s presence has just been incredible. And I say that because his standard – his level of excellence when it comes to basketball – is just so high. But I don’t think it’s intimidating for the guys and I don’t think it will be. I think it will be in a nurturing, supportive kind of role. And from a coaching staff, our position is that we want to drive this team towards excellence whether that’s on offense or on defense. We kind of see him as sitting up here (holds hands up high) and that’s kind of our driving force to where we’re trying to go. I see it as nothing but purely positive. It’s really nice to have someone of his stature and everything that he’s meant to the game of basketball involved in an organization. (新秀與球員是否因Michael Jordan而產生壓力) Michael所帶來的影響太神奇了。因為他對籃球的標準時在是太高了。不過我覺得這不但沒有給球員負面的壓力，還帶來一種正面的刺激，讓球員以他為榜樣。以教練群的身分來看，無論是進攻或防守我們都希望能逼近完美。我們以他為目標，這樣的影響只會是正面的。能夠與他在同一個環境下共事是很榮幸的。 (On what Jason Richardson adds to the roster) Well I think it adds 20-plus points to it. When I think about my wings running in the lanes and I think about my two and my three, Jason Richardson obviously gives you a two that can pull up and shoot the three. He’s incredibly athletic. He can get to the rim. He’s just a phenomenal shooter and a definite go-to guy that can give you points. So it adds a lot of offensive strength. I think defensively probably hasn’t been his strong point in the past, but definitely a guy that can play defense. This is a guy that is 6-6, athletic, he’s strong, he’s fast, and he’s quick. From everything I’ve heard, he’s a guy that really comes in works hard and has a great work ethic and does what the coaches need him to do. In terms of defensively, I expect him to come in and be the kind of defensive guy that we also need because he has the capability to do it. So in terms of how it affects the roster, I see it as a complete enhancement. We’ve got a proven NBA guy that can score the ball with a great work ethic and is great in the community. So that makes our team that much better. (Jason Richardson會帶給球隊什麼影響) 我想他能讓球隊多得20幾分。切入、外線他樣樣行(這句我其實看不大懂)。他具有驚人的運動能力。他可以切入得分，而且是個優秀的射手，絕對是需要得分時的go-to guy。因此他帶來很大的進攻幫助。雖然說防守一直不是他的強項，不過就以他的才能而言，他絕對可以融入防守的戰術。這傢伙六呎六，運動能力強，身體強壯，速度快，反應佳。此外，還聽說他訓練認真，有絕佳的工作態度，並且肯聽教練的話。以防守而言，我期望他能補足我們防守，因為他有那個能力。以他給陣容的影響而言，他完全給球隊增強。我們的到一名得分強、態度佳、熱心公益的球員，他使我們球隊大幅增強。呼...內文好多... 很少做這種翻譯的工作沒想到會翻這麼久有什麼翻得不好的地方的話請見諒與指教啦 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 68.17.207.119
