Source: http://www.freep.com ********************************************************************* Iverson seeks to be 'focal point' He wants ball more, but won't make waves BY CHRIS LAU ‧ FREE PRESS SPORTS WRITER ‧ February 2, 2009 AI想要更多表現機會 ********************************************************************* Before Sunday's game, Cleveland Cavaliers coach Mike Brown talked about the Pistons' many offensive weapons he had to plan for, but he mentioned one guy he worried about more than any other. 星期天打騎士前，騎士教頭Brown談論他對因應活塞進攻的策略，他提到AI仍特別需要小心。 Brown said Allen Iverson still instills fear in his opponents, even though he has a smaller offensive role now than at any other point in a 13-year career. Brown說即使AI現在在隊中角色是13年生涯來最不吃重的時刻，但他仍然繼續給他的對手帶來壓力。 "At any given time, if he gets hot, that ball is going to be in his hands," Brown said. "And he can get hot at any given time. That's the scary part about it. We still have to prepare and have things in the back of your head of what you're going to do in case he gets rolling." Brown說："任何時候只要AI火了，球都會餵給他；而且他什麼時候都可能突然著火，這才是最可怕的地方。我們必須要防備，他不知道哪時會爆衝起來。" Iverson got rolling in the second half of the Pistons' 90-80 loss on Sunday, scoring 10 points in the third quarter, six in the fourth and a team-high 22 overall in 44 minutes. 星期天活塞80-90落敗的比賽，AI的確在下半場開始加溫，三四節各拿了10、6分，整場打44分鐘拿下全隊最高的22分。 He hit three midrange jumpers early in the third quarter, then drove for two lay-ups in the final minute to give the Pistons a 66-58 lead entering the fourth. 他在第三節開始連中三個中距離，然後在三節尾巴兩個上籃幫助活塞第三節打完以66-58領先。 He was subbed out early in the fourth, then reinserted with 7 minutes left and his team down, 73-68. He made a quick lay-up and two free throws to bring the deficit to 75-74 with 5 minutes left. AI第四節開始又潛水了，到後面七分鐘浮出水面，這時活塞68-73落後。 AI迅速先個上籃、接著兩罰球，讓終場前五分鐘，落後縮小為一分74-75。 "We put the ball in his hands to make plays," coach Michael Curry said. "He made some plays in the beginning of the fourth, and they defended him pretty well." 咖哩："我們讓AI主導，第四節一開始還打好個幾球，後來騎士對他守得很好。" (和上段時間講的有出入阿) After that, however, his offense wasn't a factor. 但是最後，AI的進攻無法改變戰局。 Iverson averages 27.2 points for his career, but he is scoring only 17.8 for the Pistons. His number hasn't been called as often as it was called when he played in Philly or Denver. AI生涯平均27.2分，不過本季在活塞僅17.8分。他受的擔子明顯不如他在費城或丹佛的時候重。 "I would love to be a focal part on the offensive end," he said. "That's where I've been all my career. And that's why I play the game. That's the type of competitor I am. In crucial situations, I want the ball in my hands. But like I've been saying all along: The calls they make, I trust my teammates and the coaching staff to be able to get us over the hump." AI："我希望在進攻端有更多機會，這是我吃飯的東西，我就是這樣在NBA競爭的。關鍵時刻，我希望球在我手上；不過我也說了很多次，教練怎麼安排，我都相信他以及我的隊友能帶我們度過困難。" The Pistons are 21-21 with Iverson and 25-21 overall. Asked if he thought his team could be better if he shouldered a heavier offensive load, he went in a different direction. 活塞在AI加入後是21-21，累計25-21。當問到AI：如果讓你承擔多一點進攻，那球隊會否更好？ AI沒上鉤的回： "Don't do that to me," he said. "You're opening up a can of worms. I don't even want to do that. I trust the way everything is going. I don't have a choice. What I say don't matter." "別婊我阿，你這是在釣魚。我信任現在隊中的決定，其他想法我不在乎先擱著。" ********************************************************************* AI就是想順著球隊(教練)意思走，應該就是不想鬧在七六人好幾個教練鬧的事情，不過他自己認為進攻端他該多發揮些，但球隊說怎樣就怎樣囉。簡單講就是他認為要多幹會更好，不過不想鬧出嫌隙的新聞。我當然認同他要幹囉，不然來活塞幹嘛。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 169.231.60.158
