Petrie的傳奇事蹟是1973年一月對休士頓火箭獨得51分，當時主要防守他的球員Mike Newlin常拿這件事來開玩笑。 "That's the most interesting thing about the story," Petrie says today. "It was after the game in Houston, and (Newlin) said something in the paper afterward. That I just 'got hot ... got lucky ... and that I will never do it again.' Petrie：「最有趣的事在休士頓的賽後，Newlin對媒體發表的言論，認為我只是剛好手風很順，運氣很好，並斷言我不可能再有這種表現。」 "Well," Petrie said almost sheepishly, "it happened again." 「不過它又再度發生囉。」Petrie有點不好意思的說。 Indeed, nearly three months later, Petrie rolled up another 51 points against Newlin and the Rockets, re-enforcing the greatest scoring feat in team history. 將近三個月後，Petrie又再度砍進51分，苦主一樣是休士頓火箭和Newlin，再度寫下隊史紀錄。 Only one problem: Newlin said he never said those comments after Petrie's first 51-point game. 不過有一個問題，Newlin說他從沒對Petrie首度51分做出那些評論。 "That's something I would never say. That's just not me," Newlin said this week from his home in Sugar Land, Texas. "But let me tell you something: Those performances were sheer phenomena, because I was all over him. I gave him nothing. He earned every point. Newlin在德州的Sugar Land的家接受我們的訪問：「我從沒說過那些話，那不是我說的，老實講，他的表現真的是非常出色，因為我整場比賽都死黏著他，但我對他無能為力，他的每一分都是貨真價實的。」 It is, and was, Newlin said, a testament to the greatness of Petrie, a 6-foot-5 guard from Princeton who was not only the "original Trail Blazer" after being the first draft pick of the franchise, but also the franchise's first superstar. Newlin的聲明證明了Petrie的偉大，來自普林斯頓的六呎五吋的後衛不僅是純種阿拓的第一個首輪新秀，也是阿拓的第一個超級巨星。 His six-year career, during which he averaged 21.8 points, was among the most prolific in team history and is why Petrie landed at No. 4 on The Oregonian's list of the Top 40 Blazers. 他效力於阿拓的六年平均得分為21.8分，是隊史上最多產的得分手，這也是他為何能讓本站﹝The Oregonian﹞選為阿拓40傑中的第四位。 Petrie held the team scoring record for 22 seasons, until Damon Stoudamire scored 54 in 2005. He was the 1971 Rookie of the Year, sharing the honor with Boston's Dave Cowens, made two All-Star appearances and holds the team record for points in a game by a rookie (46). All-time, he ranks sixth in scoring and fifth in assists. Petrie的得分紀錄在阿拓高懸二十二個賽季，直到2005年才被Damon Stoudamire打破。他和波士頓的Dave Cowens一起榮膺1971年的最佳新秀，兩度入選全明星賽，隊史上的新秀得分紀錄也是由他保持﹝46分﹞，他的總得分數排在隊史第六，總助攻數排在第五位。 And he did it all before the NBA had the three-point line, which considering Petrie's strength as a long-range shooter, makes his statistics even more impressive. 他的成就完成時，NBA尚未有三分線的規定，而Petrie的長項就在於長程炮火，也因此他的成就更讓人印象深刻。 "Geoff Petrie was a better player than Clyde Drexler," said Jim Barnett, a teammate of Petrie for the 1970-1971 season who went on to captain the Golden State Warriors. "If Petrie wasn't hurt he would have been one of the NBA's Top 50 players of all time. He had no weaknesses." Jim Barnett：「Petrie是比Clyde Drexler更好的球員，如果Petrie沒受傷的話，他會入選NBA五十大球星的，他幾乎沒有弱點。」Barnett是Petrie隊友﹝1970-1971﹞，他後來成為金州勇士的隊長。 Newlin, a noted defender during his 11 NBA seasons, agreed. Newlin十一年的NBA賽季裡，他的防守也常被人稱讚。 "The only thing that kept Geoff Petrie from the Hall of Fame was injuries," Newlin said. "And anybody who played against him would say he is a Hall of Famer. You just couldn't stop him." Newlin：「讓Petrie進不了名人堂的主因就是傷病，和他打過球的都知道他是名人堂級的球員，沒人守的住他。」 What did stop Petrie, in the end, was a balky left knee. 而擋下Petrie的，就是他脆弱的左膝。 In the summer after averaging 24.8 points as a rookie, Petrie said he was working out at Portland State University shooting jumpers when he felt something odd in his knee. 平均24.8分的新秀球季結束後，Petrie說他暑假在波特蘭州大做投籃練習時感到左膝有異樣。 "There was this catching, an unstableness in my knee," Petrie said. "It wasn't any acute event." Petrie說，他覺得膝蓋有些卡卡，不牢靠的感覺，但不是甚麼大問題。 That summer, he had the first of what would over the years turn into several surgeries on the knee. He missed the first 20 games of his second season. Although he would have two more big scoring seasons — averaging 24.9 points in his third season and 24.3 in his fourth season — Petrie never felt the same. 那年暑假他的膝蓋首次動刀，而隨後的幾年又進場維修了好幾次，他錯過第二年的前20 場比賽，雖然隨後兩個賽季Petrie的表現都非常出色，但他自己知道他已經不是從前的他了。 "After my first surgery, I never felt I could play quite as free as I had," Petrie said. 「第一次手術過後，我就再也沒辦法像以前那樣活蹦亂跳。」 By the start of his fifth season, in 1974, Petrie was becoming more of a jump shooter and less of the cutting, darting player who could take anyone off the dribble. Petrie的第五個賽季﹝1974﹞，他減少了自己的切入，改以大量的跳投作武器，他的切入可以叭掉任何球員。 "I was taking a lot of anti-inflammatories and having the occasional injections," Petrie said. "The cutting, the jumping, the planting, I couldn't do it ...what happens is you start to play around with things. By my sixth year, I was really struggling." 「我開始用大量的消炎藥，有時還必須打止痛劑，切入，跳，跑位對我而言都變的很困難，在我生涯的第六個年頭，我打的很掙扎。」 Of course, "struggling" by Petrie's terms meant averaging 18.9 points and shooting 46.1 percent from the field. But clearly, he was being more limited by the knee, and when a new coach named Jack Ramsay was hired before the 1976-1977 season, he wanted to know the status of Petrie, whose contract had expired. 所謂打的很掙扎，代表Petrie的第六個賽季得分「只有」18.9分，命中率「只有」46.1% ，不過很明顯的，他的確受到膝傷的限制，1976-77賽季Petrie合約到期，新教練Jack Ramsay想要了解他的傷勢狀況。 The team wanted Petrie to have surgery on his knee. Petrie said he didn't want to have surgery without a new contract. So the Blazers traded Petrie and Steve Hawes to Atlanta for the second pick in the ABA dispersal draft. The pick ended up being Maurice Lucas. 球隊希望Petrie能再度動刀，但Petrie說他要有一分新合約才願意動刀，所以阿拓把 Petrie和Steve Hawes打包交易至亞特蘭大換一個ABA併入NBA後的球員選秀權，阿拓用它選了Maurice Lucas。 Petrie never did play for Atlanta. Instead, he underwent three surgeries in one year on his knee, and watched the Blazers franchise he helped popularize win the championship the year after he left. Petrie沒為亞特蘭大打過球，這年他動了三次膝蓋手術，看這他立下汗馬功勞的老東家捧起冠軍盃，接著他宣布退休。 In fact, he was still living in Portland when the Blazers won the championship and in the days after the parade, he and a group that included Bill Walton went on a rafting trip on the Middle Fork of the Salmon River in Idaho. 事實上，當阿拓捧起金盃時，Petrie還住在波特蘭，冠軍遊行結束後的日子，他和包括 Bill Walton在內的友人一起去泛舟。 Still, it was a tough time for Petrie. 不過這對Pitrie還是一段很難熬的時期。 "When they won a title, I thought it was great for the city and obviously the team. But I was ... (long pause) .... you know, I was not in a good place. I'll put it that way," Petrie said. "Not so much because of the championship, but because where my career was. It was a hard thing for me to deal with. But as you get older, you understand there are circumstances in life that you have no control over. They just show up at your door unannounced." 「當他們贏得冠軍時，我覺得這對波特蘭和球隊都很棒，但我只是……﹝停頓很久﹞，你知道當時我的處境很尷尬，這是我必須去面對的問題，這並非冠軍的緣故，而是這裡是我的職業生涯所在，這讓我很難去面對，但隨著年紀增長，你也會了解這就是人生，你沒辦法去控制每一件事，你也沒辦法預測有甚麼事會發生。」 Petrie never played again, though he later returned to basketball, first as a broadcaster and coach and later as a team executive. Petrie沒有再回到球場打球，之後他開始從事籃球相關事務，先是播報員，然後是教練，最後成為球隊的行政主管。 When he was healthy, Newlin insists that Petrie's offensive repertoire was unstoppable, particularly his fallaway jumper. 當Petrie還健康時，Newlin堅持Petrie的進攻手段是守不住的，尤其是他的後仰跳投。 In the first 51-point game, Petrie hit 19-of-35 shots, 13-of-14 free throws and had seven assists in 42 minutes. The second game he made 19-of-28 from the field, 13-of-16 from the line and had five assists in 40 minutes. 第一次攻下51分的比賽，Petrie上場四十二分鐘，三十五投十九中，罰十四中十三，並傳出七次助攻。第二次51分比賽，Petrie上場四十分鐘，二十八投十九中，十六罰中十三，傳出五次助攻。 He was guarded in part by Jimmy Walker, a 6-3 guard, and Newlin, a burly 6-5 guard who prided himself on defense. Petrie由Jimmy Walker﹝六呎三吋﹞和Newlin﹝六呎五吋，以防守自豪的球員﹞輪流看管。 "It was an insult to me to have a guy score on me," Newlin said. "There was nothing about me that took defense lightly. Every point he scored against me was blood. He had to bleed to get the points. I muscled him and never left him. but he scored anyway. That's what's remarkable about both of those games: He made it look easy." Newlin：「讓對手在我面前得分對我而言是種羞辱，我不可能放水，他在我面前得到的每一分都是經過激烈的對抗換來的，他用盡手段才得到那些分數，我一直用身體壓迫他而且死黏著他，但他就是能得分，這也是為甚麼這兩場比賽讓人稱頌，因為他的得分看起來太容易了。」 Petrie shrugs his shoulders at the memory of both games. 回憶起這兩場比賽Petrie聳聳肩。 "You know what?" Petrie said. "The best thing I remember about those games is that we won them both." 「你知道嗎？我記得這兩場比賽最棒的事就是我們都贏了。」 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 118.167.183.58
