http://www.sacbee.com/kings/story/1900683.html CHICAGO – Chase Budinger had already learned the art of "no comment." At least when it came to addressing the media. Chase Budinger已經學到「不予置評」的藝術，至少是在面對媒體的時候。 But the draft prospect from Arizona didn't have that option when he sat down for a half-day of interviews with NBA team representatives Thursday. Just like other players who would be asked the most personal of questions during this portion of the predraft combine, Budinger had to say something. Even if he was speechless. 這名從亞歷桑那(Bibby的學弟？)來的球員在面對各隊代表面試的時候並沒有選擇的餘地和其他球員一樣會被問到很私人的問題，就算他很木訥也一樣。 "One team asked me if I had a girlfriend, and I said no," Budinger said as he relayed the story of one interview to the media. "And then they asked me if I had any friends with benefits. That was kind of a wacky question." 「有球隊問我是否有女友，我回答沒有，然後他們問我是否有性伴侶，那是個怪問題」 And the answer? "No comment," he said with a sheepish smile. 那回答呢？「不予置評」邊帶著呆呆的微笑。 Budinger is a 6-foot-7 swingman who is projected to be taken in the neighborhood of Sacramento's second pick at No. 23. Not that basketball was the main topic of discussion in these meetings. 他是個6'7的搖擺人，被認為會在23順位被國王選去。在這些會議中籃球並不是主要的主題。 After a morning in which the league's front office types watched the players in action at Attack Athletics Training Center – with no scrimmages but plenty of agility drills, height and weight measurements, and full-court action of varying kinds – they headed to the Westin Hotel to double as interrogation specialists. 沒有比賽，只有很多敏捷性、高度和重量的測量，還有多樣的全場活動。 The goal of the interviews is simple: Teams are looking to get a sense of a player's personality and get answers to specific questions that surround them. They last from 30 minutes to an hour. 面談的目標很簡單：球隊在看球員的個人特質，然後找到他們要的答案。持續30分鐘到1小時不等。 The Kings' interviews involved basketball president Geoff Petrie, vice basketball president Wayne Cooper, assistant general manager Jason Levien and scout Mike Petrie. 國王面談團包括Petrie、Wayne Cooper、Levien和Mike Petrie(沒錯，Petrie的兒子) Jonny Flynn was booked from 1:45 to 7:45 p.m. on Wednesday, with an evening's worth of interviews already behind him that included the Kings and tested the stamina of a young man known for his unending energy. Flynn表定是1:45到7:45。 The Syracuse point guard, who found new fame for his part in a six-overtime win over Connecticut in the quarterfinals of the Big East Tournament in March, said the interviews were more tiring than the epic game in which he played such a huge part. 雪城PG，在那次和康乃迪克的6次延長出了風頭。他說面談比比賽還累。 "You've got to come in, you've got to talk the whole time, you've got to sit up right, have a presence," said Flynn, who is believed to be high on the Kings' list and a candidate for their first pick at No. 4. 「你必須進來，你必須一直講話，你必須坐好，有個樣子」。他被認為在國王的名單排很高，會是第4順位的其中一位候選人。 "It's way more tiring. Playing basketball, that's the easy part." 「真的累多了，打球比較輕鬆」 Ty Lawson, the point guard out of North Carolina who is seen as a middle to late first-round pick, went into his interviews expecting to be asked hard questions and wasn't disappointed. Lawson，北卡的後衛，被視為是第一輪中後段，也被問到一些很難回答的問題。 "They were grillin' me man," said Lawson, who added that he is scheduled to work out with the Kings soon. "They ask you everything. One person asked me, 'Would you rather go to a team with the 29th pick and sit on the bench behind two players or would you rather go to a team in the second round, and get picked up by a bad team and play a lot?' It's things that make you think." 「他們是在拷問我耶，他們什麼都問。有人問我是比較想要去一隻用第29順位選你的球隊然後當溫板凳的，還是去一隻二流球隊，然後很多上場機會？就是一些會讓你思考的東西 In the case of his interview with the Memphis Grizzlies, there were questions that made Lawson think the team executives knew more about him than he knew about himself. 在他和灰熊的面談當中，有些問題讓Lawson認為，球隊制服組比他自己還了解他。 "One person (with the Grizzlies) was like, 'Hey, I heard you have an uncle?' and I said, 'Yeah, I (have) five of them,' " Lawson began. 「有人就像「嘿，我聽說你有個叔叔」，我說「我有五個耶」」 "Then he said, 'One's a musician.' I said, 'I don't know that.' He said, 'Does he cut hair?' I was like, 'I have no idea.' The guy said, 'He's my barber.' So I called my dad and asked him, and he was like, 'Yeah that's him.' " 「然後他就說「有一個是音樂家」我說「我不知道耶」他說「那他剪頭嗎」我回答「我不知道耶」他又說「他是我的理髮師」我就打給我爸問，他就說「對，就是他」 ============================================================================== 選秀真的是個大學問，什麼鬼問題都問。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 118.169.135.40
