[KG!!] KG使超賽保持競爭力(1)
Keyon Dooling is a 12-year veteran who has played for six NBA teams. He’s a
connoisseur of clubhouses.
阿杜是一個在NBA打12年的老將,他收集了六支球隊的球衣。
Dooling was in Orlando when a young Dwight Howard started to take control of
the Magic locker room, and he was in Miami the year Shaquille O’Neal renamed
himself Big Aristotle and completely re-wrote the book on what it meant to be
a member of the Heat. Dooling spent long stretches in the vast wastelands of
the Clippers, Nets and Bucks.
在魔術時,他領教了魔獸統治下的休息室。在熱火時,則是自稱大亞里斯多德的歐肥在休
息室獨領風騷。
He also knew Kevin Garnett informally, thanks to some mutual offseason
workouts. He knew Garnett had an overwhelming way of talking and emoting.
阿杜曾在一些非正式的的活動結識了KG。他知道KG說教式的表達方式有點令人難以接受。
But until Dooling walked into the Celtics [team stats] locker room last
December, he had no idea of Garnett’s capacity for preaching. Not just
preaching, but embracing, and winning over any newcomer in his locker room.
It didn’t matter if his target was a rookie like JaJuan Johnson or a free
agent like Mickael Pietrus.
但是直到了去年12月,他才領教了KG在休息室說教的感染力。他徹底贏得每一個新進隊員
的信任,無論是新秀JJJ還是自由球員MP。
Not everyone fit. Garnett has walked away from those who didn’t listen.
Former teammates like Mikki Moore, Patrick O’Bryant and Bill Walker received
the “dead to me” treatment. But for those open to his counsel, Garnett’s
loyalty has been unconditional.
並非每個球員都吃他這套,諸如Mikki Moore、Patrick O’Bryant還有Bill Walker這些
不受教的前隊友就收到KG「無可救藥」的對待。但對於那些肯接受忠告的球員而言,KG的
忠誠是無條件的。
“I’ve never seen another guy like him,” Dooling said. “He’s the most
unique player I’ve ever been around. And I’ve been around some good
players, some superstar-caliber players. He has a realness to him that I’ve
never seen. For his pedigree of player, I’ve never seen a guy who can relate
like this to the guy who may make the minimum salary, or in between.
”我從未見過像KG這樣的球員。”阿杜說,”我曾與一些超級巨星共事過,但他是我見過
最獨特的巨星,他就如同一個大家長般,把全隊連結在一起,連領底薪的球員也不例外。
”
“He helps everybody with their approach to the game. He motivates everybody,
he protects the guys, he’s everything that a teammate should be.”
”他幫助每一個隊員成長,他也激勵每一個人。他做到了一個完美隊友所能做到的一切。
”
And once Dooling joined the team and was approached by this one-man welcome
wagon, the talking points flew.
當阿杜剛入隊時,他就受到這位老兄「喋喋不休」的熱烈歡迎。
Garnett briefed Dooling on the culture of the Celtics clubhouse — one of the
most fiercely policed in the league — and what he could expect from the
veteran power forward both on and off the floor. Business, personal growth,
the need to teach the young players the right way of doing things — the
range of topics was limitless. This was Tony Robbins with a shaved head and a
lean, 7-foot body.
KG為阿杜介紹了超賽這支傳奇球隊特有的文化。無論是交易、球員生涯還是教導年輕球員
正確的工作態度,他都能侃侃而談。他就像一個七呎的Tony Robbins。(美國知名演說家
與暢銷書作家)
“When he’s in his moments, he’s just nonstop,” Dooling said. “What
stands out is probably just the way he cares. He’s so human. He’s just one
of the boys. He makes you feel at home. Every time someone new comes in, he
makes it his business to pull you to the side and have a personal
conversation with you. It’s bigger than basketball with Kevin. He cares
about us as people. He wants to see all of us growing as men. We really talk
about pouring into these young guys and challenging them mentally to
understand the business of our game, the business beyond basketball.”
"每當他說得起勁時,他就會停不下來。"阿杜說"他就像一個大孩子,他是如此的真誠
。每當有新成員入隊,他都會以照顧新成員為己任。他希望大家都能獨當一面,成為一個
道地的男子漢。我們曾討論過如何灌輸正確的觀念給年輕球員,教導他們球場上的一切,
還有球場下的任何事情。
And then there’s the aspect that Garden fans have seen and Garnett’s
teammates have experienced this season — a man who turns 36 on May 19 but
still is playing dominant basketball. There’s a good chance, like Ray Allen,
that he plays for another team next season, but Garnett has made sure that
the era of the new Big Three doesn’t end with a whimper.
誠如TD花園廣場球迷與KG的隊友所見,今年即將屆滿36的老將也向雷槍一樣面臨續約與否
的難題,但KG曾明確表態,"三巨頭的時代絕不會以哭哭啼啼作為結束。"
“I just think it’s clear in his mind what he needs to do, what his focus is
and what his job is. He sees, knows and understands it,” Allen said. “To
me, for this team, he’s the most important guy. He gives us a sense of
stability and foundation. He’s there, and he’s counted on. He makes all of
the things that go on possible. He makes sure his voice is heard, and that he
’s there. You expect him back there, and every time he’s there.”
"我認為他很清楚他需要的是什麼,他的重心是什麼,他的工作是什麼。"雷槍說,"KG
是這支球隊最重要的球員,他是球隊勝利的基礎,讓一切變得可能,他會確保他的聲音傳
達給大家,每當需要他的時候,他一定挺身而出。"
Selfish is OK
自私有時是好的。
The biggest challenge, though, was the one faced by Doc Rivers this season.
He had to convince Garnett to cut against the grain, to think more about
himself. Entering the Celtics’ first-round playoff series against Atlanta,
the task remains to make sure Garnett stays selfish.
本季對冰河是一個巨大的挑戰。他希望KG能減少傳球,打得更有侵略性,更自私些。
The team’s greatest individual performance in last year’s conference
semifinals loss to Miami was Garnett’s 28-point eruption in the Celtics’
Game 3 win. Rivers pleaded with Garnett for some offensive tunnel vision,
and the big forward delivered. But the need was there for more in Game 4, and
Garnett disappeared behind a seven-point, 1-for-10 curtain. He remained there
in Game 5, when his 15 points, including only one basket in the second half,
weren’t nearly enough. The Celtics, done in by LeBron James’ eight points
during the final 2:11 of the fourth quarter, were thus eliminated.
去年季後賽對熱火第三戰,KG大爆發砍了28分,冰河的要求KG在這場做到了。但後兩場KG
表現平平,換生化人大爆發,超賽被4-1淘汰。
It took an inordinate amount of prodding, but Rivers resumed his vigil this
season. He demanded more scoring from Garnett, more selfishness, and moved
the quietly protesting power forward to center.
在禁區球員接連報銷後,冰河為發揚KG的火力,把他調去打中鋒,獲得了不錯的成效。
