※ [本文轉錄自 Nets 看板] 作者: NetsFan (莫忘初衷) 看板: Nets 標題: [外電] 儘管 Kidd 離去 VC 依舊與他保持聯絡時間: Sat Dec 20 15:58:32 2008 by Dave D'Alessandro/The Star-Ledger Friday December 19, 2008, 8:28 PM Jason Kidd, who returned to New Jersey Friday night -- in a Mavs uniform -- remains good friends with the Nets' Vince Carter.They still speak regularly, often by text messages, mostly about family business. Vince Carter even pals around with Jason Kidd's son -- the ubiquitous T.J. -- on occasion, most recently bringing him along when the Nets had their open practice at Ramapo in the preseason. 今晚就要會回 NJ 的 KIDD 依然和 VC 有著很好的情誼。他們經常聊天或是透過簡訊來保持聯繫，大部分是關於家庭的事情。 VC 甚至依舊當 KIDD 小孩 TJ KIDD的大朋友，之前他甚至會帶 TJ 參與籃網在歐洲的季前賽訓練營。 Even the families are close: When Carter's ex-wife and daughter come to visit New Jersey -- as they are doing this holiday week -- they often stay with Joumana Kidd and her three kids. 他們倆家的家庭也很接近，當VC的前妻還有女兒來到紐澤西，他們也會去找 JOURMANA KIDD 還有她三個小孩。 The two men haven't bowled in a while -- just as well, because Carter intimates that Kidd is no competition. But every time he picks up a golf club, he thinks of his friend, who got him his membership at Manhattan Woods in Rockland County, N.Y. 這兩人很久沒有打保齡球了，因為 VC 指出 KIDD 已經不是他的對手。但是每一次 VC 拿起高爾夫球桿，他就會想起他的朋友，那位要他在Rockland County 的 Manhattan Wood 辦球證的朋友。 Basically, they are as close as most former teammates can be. 基本上他們就像一般的前隊友之間的情誼。 And yes, he misses him -- no matter how much Kidd wanted to get away from Carter and his other teammates throughout last season. 是的，VC 還是懷念著 KIDD，儘管 KIDD當初是多麼想要離開這個球隊。 "When I first got here, he was the one who got me comfortable, and I lived in the same area he did," said Carter, as he anticipated Kidd's first appearance in a Dallas Mavericks uniform at Izod Center Friday night. ＶＣ說："當我剛到這裡的時候，KIDD 讓我覺得這裡兒像家一樣，而我們也住在同一個區域。" "And on the court, showing me what's expected, how things are done. It made things a lot easier. I had already played six years in the league, but coming in here -- being put in the fire, he and Jacque Vaughn were there for me." "在場上，他告訴我什麼事情會發生，事情又是怎麼進行的。他讓事情變得輕鬆容易許多。雖然當時我已經打了六年的球賽，可是來到這時還是覺得水深火熱， KIDD 和 V怪客 ( JACQUE VAUGNH ) 讓我感到溫暖" Ask Carter who is the best player he ever played with, and he doesn't hesitate. He could have said his cousin, Tracy McGrady, who has as much talent as anyone who has ever played the game. He could have even said Hakeem Olajuwon (in terms of reputation, anyway), because any list of the all-time, top-10 centers includes his name. 當問到 VC 覺得誰是他合作的隊友之中最好的，他可以輕易的回你說 T-MAC 或是歐拉朱萬，因為他可是史上前十大中鋒。 But Carter says this: "J-Kidd was definitely (number) one. For as hard as it is to get one triple-double in your career, he did it with ease. He got triple-doubles like other guys got double-doubles. So I definitely give him that. He's a guaranteed Hall of Famer if he didn't want to play any more today." 可是 VC 說：" J-KIDD 絕對是第一名。想像在生涯當中要拿到一次大三元會有多困難，可是他卻做得如此簡單。所以我會說他是第一，而且他可是未來名人堂的準人選，若是未來他選擇離開了球場。" It's not about Kidd the player, however. He thinks of their friendship first, even though he admits it's nearly impossible to penetrate that famous wall of stoicism. Carter can be that way himself, he admits. That's probably why they appreciated each other's company: There were no emotional demands -- just bowling, golf, kids and work. VC 沒有提到 KIDD在場上的表現，他優先提到了彼此的友誼，而不提其他的敏感話題，所以講到保齡球，高爾夫，小孩，還有工作。 If that was all they had in common, it was enough. 如果這是他們平常所談及的，那就足夠了。 So he doesn't dwell on why it all went so wrong last season. 所以 VC 不會總是想著上一季為什麼是失敗的。 "I don't do that. It's not fair to any of these guys here," Carter said. "I look even farther back when T-Mac and I played together. We had an opportunity to be a great team, but it didn't happen. It's always the 'what-if,' and that's what it is. He left the team here, and that's just the way it goes." "我不會講這些事情。因為這對現在我的隊友們並不公平。我甚至會回顧 T MAC 跟我同隊的時候。我們有機會成為一個很好的球隊，但是卻沒有發生。人們討論事情總是會提到如果怎樣怎樣，但是事實上就是如此。他後來離開了球隊，而這就是事實。" Even without an adequate explanation of why he had to get out? 甚至沒有適當的理由解釋為什麼 Kidd必須離開。 "Heck no. We all have an appreciation for who he is, what he brought to the table each and every night, and what he's done for the franchise," Carter said. "I mean, he turned it around in a year. Two Finals appearances, and it hasn't been anywhere close since. That speaks for itself." "喔，不。我們都對 KIDD 有著讚美。他每一晚都會有好東西端上檯面，他對籃網這隻球隊有著很大的貢獻。我的意思是，雖然最後一年他選擇離去。也因為兩次的 NBA 總冠軍戰之後，在也沒有更接近的時候了，這解釋了一切。" That didn't answer the question about being more forthcoming with his displeasure with all things New Jersey -- including Carter himself, one surmises. 這並沒有回答為何他會在 NJ 有所不快，包含 VC 他自己，所以只是猜測。 "That's who he is," Carter said. "It's not one of those things where I wish he'd speak up and be the blabbermouth. At some point Jay would have something to say when he had something to say. He knew when to step out of the box, so to speak." VC 說："KIDD 就是這樣的人，而且這些事情不是我希望看到他變成一個長舌者或是公開講太多。嗯，也就是說，他不是一個某種類型的球員。" That's the other thing about his friend, Carter said: There was no box, no way to categorize him, no way to pigeonhole him. 卡特又說了另外一件關於他朋友的事情：沒有什麼可以對他分類。 "There are guys who try to pattern their game after him," Carter said. "I won't say duplicate it, because you have to have the willingness to rebound and take the chances he does. They can't. He's one in a million." "現在很多人試著模仿著 KIDD，但我不會說去複製，因為你必須有搶籃板的慾望，還有把握好機會。但是他們沒有辦法。 KIDD 是萬中選一。" http://www.nj.com/nets/index.ssf/2008/12/despite_kidds_bitter_exit_new.html -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 220.134.181.36 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 220.134.181.36
