※ [本文轉錄自 Celtics 看板] 作者: bri (.....................) 看板: Celtics 標題: [外電] KG Calls Defensive Player of the Year Award a "Team Effo 時間: Wed Apr 23 10:46:07 2008 http://0rz.tw/d93Yd KG Calls Defensive Player of the Year Award a "Team Effort" By Couper Moorhead April 22, 2008 WALTHAM - After Monday's practice, Doc Rivers said it would be tough for any Celtics to be honored for any individual league awards because of the role -playing style his team plays. 禮拜一的練習之後，Doc Rivers提到因為球隊打的是功能性籃球，所以對任何Celtics球員來說，要得到聯盟獎項都是很難的。 Apparently, Kia Motors really does have the power to surprise. After Tuesday's practice, the NBA and Kia proved Rivers wrong and named Kevin Garnett the NBA Defensive Player of the Year, recognizing KG's impact on a Celtics defense that ranked first in field goal percentage allowed, three-point field goal percentage and scoring differential, and ranked second in points allowed. 很明顯地，Kia Motors的確有讓人驚奇的力量(譯按：這是它們的廣告詞)。在禮拜二的練習之後，NBA和Kia Motors證明Rivers是錯的，並且把年度防守球員頒給KG。這是對KG 在Celtics防守上影響力的肯定，因為球隊在被對手投籃命中率、被三分球命中率、勝分差都是聯盟第一，被得分則是排名第二。 "Before we even started this [press conference], I got my teammates and coaches together and said that when a team does well, you can really pick anybody on this team," Garnett said. "To me, that exemplifies what we do every night. Defense is not a one-man thing, it's totally a team-committed effort." “即使在我們開這個記者會之前，我把隊友跟教練集合在一起，告訴他們說，如果一支球隊表現很好，球隊裡的任何人都值得這個獎項。” Garnett說”對我來說，這證明了我們每晚所作的事。防守不是一個人的事，它完全是球隊決心的努力。” Garnett is the first Celtic to win the award since it's inception in 1983, and he joins an elite club of defensive stalwarts who've won the award, including Michael Jordan, Hakeem Olajuwon, Dennis Rodman, Dikembe Mutombo and David Robinson. Garnett是自從1983年開始這個獎項後，第一個贏得的Celtics球員，他加入了一個防守硬漢的精英俱樂部，曾得到這個獎的包括Michael Jordan、Hakeem Olajuwon、Dennis Rodman、Dikembe Mutombo和David Robinson。 "I'm just a little bit surprised that this is his first one," Paul Pierce said of Garnett, the 2004 NBA MVP winner. "I think he's been the class of the NBA defensively for a long time now. It's good that he's finally getting recognized for it." “我有點驚訝這是他的第一座”Paul Pierce提到KG，後者也是2004年NBA MVP得主。” 我認為，他已經是NBA防守頂級的人物有很長一段時間了。他終於獲得肯定是很好的。” Though the award winner has traditionally been among the league leaders in individual defensive statistics, Garnett being honored while ranking outside the NBA's Top 10 in blocks (1.25 per game), steals (Rajon Rondo is tied for sixth) and defensive rebounds drives home just how crippling Boston's defense was during the regular season and how essential Garnett was to it. 雖然這個獎的得主傳統上是聯盟防守數據的領先者，但是KG卻在火鍋、抄截(Rondo並列第六)、防守籃板上都排不上聯盟前十名。他能把這個獎帶回家，代表了Celtics的防守在季賽裡有多具破壞力，以及KG在其中有多重要。 "The only way I really believe you can be a defensive player award winner is you've got to have great team defense to allow that one individual to express himself even more," Celtics coach Doc Rivers said. "Kevin really understands that and, to me, there's no other guy that deserves it more." “我認為，唯一可以得到最佳防守球員獎項的方法，你必須有偉大的團隊防守，使得某一個人得以更突出。”Celtics教練Doc Rivers說”KG完全了解，而對我來說，沒有人比他更該得這個獎。” Rivers said KG's package of basketball IQ, athleticism, energy and focus -- not to mention raw intensity -- are what makes him such a great defensive player. That package, and the forward's ability to stifle even the smoothest of pick-and-rolls, transformed both the team's defensive mentality (the 06-07 Celtics ranked 24th in field goal percentage allowed) and eating habits. Rivers說KG的高籃球智商、運動力、能量和專注-更別說認真了-使他成為如此偉大的防守者。這種組合，加上他能讓最流暢的擋切窒息的能力，改變了球隊防守的心態(Celtics 在06-07球季，被投籃命中率排行第24)，還有飲食習慣。 "It's a lot of things he's done with the organization," Pierce said of Garnett's effect of the team. "You see the guys after practice lifting weights, they're all in there. He even got guys eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches before the game. He's definitely impacted this team like I haven't seen." “他對整個組織作了很多事”Pierce提到KG對球隊的影響”你看到這些傢伙在做完重量訓練後，還留在這裡。他甚至帶領球員在比賽前吃花生果醬三明治。他確實以我從未看過的方式影響了這支球隊。” Newcomers to the organization like Eddie House can certainly feel Garnett's presence, both on and off the court. 新來這支球隊的球員，像是Eddie House，的確能感覺到KG的存在，不論場上或場下。 "His intensity is like a trickle down effect," House said. "Kevin's got a lot of people doing a lot of things, not only peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. A lot of things." “他的認真就像是一種滴漏效應”House 說”KG使得人們作很多事，不只是花生果醬三明治。很多很多事。” House declined to elaborate, but one of those things has been helping Celtics starting center Kendrick Perkins (who finished with more blocked shots than his elder at 1.46 per game)with his post defense. He also instills a bit of on -court attitude in his mates. House沒有明說，但是其中一件事，是幫助Celtics先發中鋒Kendrick Perkins的低位防守(他今年的火鍋比他的前輩還多，每場有1.46個)。他也慢慢灌輸一些場上的態度給隊友。 "He gives us our whole swagger," Perkins said, noting that few NBA superstars take pride in playing defense. "We chose to be the bad guys of the league right now. It's all about the Celtics. If you ain't about the Celtics we might not speak to you off the court. That's what he brought to the team." “他給了我們大搖大擺的本錢。”Perkins說，他另外提到很少NBA超級球星會驕傲於防守。”我們現在自命為聯盟裡的壞孩子。什麼都是以Celtics為中心。如果你不以Celtics 為主，我們下了場根本不跟你說話。這就是他帶給球隊的。” As for the value of the award, Garnett said it will be nice to look back on sometime, but he remains intensely focused on his team's mission. 至於這個獎項的價值，KG說以後回頭來看看也許不錯，但是他仍然認真地只關注球隊的任務。 "As I come into the NBA season I never think about the individual parts of this game," Garnett said. "But at the end of the day...I'm thinking about that one goal, that's that championship. That's these banners you see in [the Celtics practice facility]. That exemplifies excellence and teamwork. Individual parts come with it but that's not the motivation." “自從我進入NBA以來，我從未想過球賽裡的個人表現。”KG說 ”但是在每天結束的時候，我只想著一個目標，那就是冠軍。就是那些你在 Celtics練習場館可以看到的旗幟 (banner)。那是傑出和團隊合作的例證。個人表現隨之而來，但絕對不是其中動機。” -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 218.166.209.26
