Nearing 40, Kidd Chases a Second Wind 外電連結：http://0rz.tw/AGgnd (沒全翻，全文請點連結) Jason Kidd(1973/03/23) The Kidd of today is simply not as quick or quite as durable. And the Kidd of today will turn 40 on Saturday, marking his birthday as he and his Knicks teammates take on the Toronto Raptors at Madison Square Garden. Presumably, he will not be saluted with a “How old are you now?” serenade. 基德現在不僅僅是快速或相當耐用，3/23(星期六)KIDD將滿40歲，那天他和他的隊友將在 MSG主場對戰暴龍，據推測，MSG將會響起“How old are you now？”小夜曲向他致敬。 (http://0rz.tw/mCHKE→“How old are you now？”，大家記得當天要注意主場響起的音樂聲 XD) At 40, Kidd is not even the oldest player on the Knicks, a reflection of their risky strategy this season of adding one aging player after another in the hope that they could surround Carmelo Anthony, Tyson Chandler and Amar’e Stoudemire with enough veteran savvy and skills to grab an N.B.A. championship. 40歲的KIDD還不是尼克最老的球員，尼克用一群經驗豐富的老將圍繞在Carmelo Anthony, Tyson Chandler and Amar’e Stoudemire建隊，企圖獲得NBA總冠軍。 The pitfalls of that plan have grown increasingly apparent as the season has progressed. Rasheed Wallace, 38, played 20 games before bowing out — probably for good — with a stress fracture in his foot. Marcus Camby, who turns 39 on Friday, has had his own injury issues and has played in only 21 games. 隨著賽季的進展，該計劃的缺陷越來越明顯。西蛙(38歲)打了20場比賽，因腳應力性骨折而缺賽；坎比(1974/03/22)（星期五）是他的39歲生日，因為傷病問題，只打了21場比賽。 Kurt Thomas, who is five months older than Kidd, has incurred a stress fracture, too, and may not play again in the regular season. If he does, the Knicks will become the first team in N.B.A. history to have two 40-year-olds play in the same game, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. KT(比KIDD大五個月)，有應力性骨折反應，並在常規賽可能不會再上場比賽。如果他上場，尼克將成為第一支在NBA歷史上有兩個40歲的球員同時上場比賽。 (這也算是紀錄？奪冠這個紀錄會更加耀眼，Knicks加油呦 ~^o^~) Kidd, of course, is by far the most important member of this rickety group. He has played in 61 games this season, the fifth most on the Knicks, and is averaging 27.1 minutes a game. He continues to move with grace around the court and continues to make a difference, even if there have been any number of moments during this long grind of a season in which he seemed to slow down even more than he regularly does. KIDD，當然是尼克老將中迄今為止最重要的一員，本賽季他上場了61場比賽，是尼克上場數最多的前5人(平均上場27.1分鐘)。他繼續在各地的球場上有所作為，在這漫長的賽季中，他推進的速度似乎比他之前所做的速度慢。 Whether he can get a second wind for the postseason, when the constant pressure takes a physical toll, is open to conjecture. 當經過漫長賽季體力的消耗，他是否能在季後賽回春，是大家公開猜想的話題。 For the moment, though, as his birthday approaches, it is enough to marvel that Kidd has made it this far. When asked recently how he was able to play into his 40s, Kidd said, “Good teammates, a lot of luck, and God gave me an I.Q. to play this game.” 但是，就目前而言，它已足夠令人感到驚奇不已，基德已經走了那麼遠。當記者問他怎麼能上場比賽到40歲，KIDD說，“好的隊友、很多的好運，上帝給了我IQ上場比賽。 As for the changes in his game, Kidd acknowledged them, saying: “I changed, and I had to accept it. Ego, pride, whatever you want to call it, can get in the way.” 關於他在比賽中的改變，KIDD承認：“我改變了，我不得不接受它。自我、驕傲，無論你怎麼稱呼它，我都可以放下。” (光這點就很了不起，值得敬佩) With Kidd, they really haven’t. In 2005, Bob Thate became Kidd’s personal shooting coach. It was around that time that people in N.B.A. circles began sarcastically referring to Kidd as Ason Kidd — because he didn’t have a J, slang for a jumper. But with Thate’s help, what Kidd does have now is a solid 3-point shot. 2005年，Bob Thate成為基德的個人投籃教練，在那個時候，人們諷刺Kidd沒有跳投得分能力，但在Thate的幫助下，現在的Kidd已經有3分球投射能力。 Before the Knicks played the Los Angeles Clippers last Sunday, Kidd asked Thate, now the Clippers’ shooting coach, to help him with his mechanics. An hour before the game, Kidd shot 3’s for 30 minutes. Thate was behind Kidd the entire time, giving the advice he has always given Kidd: don’t jump forward, jump straight up; release the ball high; lock your arm up and extend it for the correct follow-through; shoot the ball higher to give it a better arc; always believe the shot will go in. 在尼克對戰快艇前的星期日，基德要求Thate(現在是快艇隊的投籃教練)，幫助他調整投籃技巧，在比賽前一個小時，Kidd練投3分球30分鐘，Thate在背後看著Kidd投籃並給他建議；跳起時不要向前要跳直線上升，丟球時高舉手臂，並把它升展；投籃時把球丟高出給它一個更好的弧度，始終相信它會進籃筐。 “It’s fun because his shot is a mess, and then after 75 jump shots it looks like it’s coming back,” Thate said of working with Kidd. Thate在和KDD投籃工作後這麼說：這是有趣的，因為他的投籃看起亂七八糟，然後經過75 個跳投後，它看起來像它回來了。 Against the Clippers, Kidd was 3 of 5 from behind the arc. Kidd has shot 53.3 percent from 3-point range in the Knicks’ last three games (8 of 15). 對戰快艇時，KIDD三分球5投3中；KIDD在尼克最近的三場比賽中，3分球命中率高達53.3 ％(15投8中)。 When he is not shooting 3’s these days, or passing the ball, or stealing it, Kidd is an adviser. His most eager audience may be Anthony, who pushed the Knicks to sign Kidd in the off-season and has called him a genius. 當他沒有3分球命中率的那些天，他仍然很努力的傳球或抄截，KIDD就像是尼克的一個顧問。最渴望他的觀眾可能是MELO，他促使尼克在休季時簽下KIDD基德，並說他是個天才、守護神。 (我怎麼記得之前外電說KIDD是拳王打電話找來的，原來MELO也是推手之一) “It’s times where he sees something way before it even happens,” Anthony said of Kidd. “I’m coming to him like, ‘How did you just see that two plays before?’ He knows the quality of each possession.” MELO說：他可以在事情發生時預見到，我想像他一樣，可以推測到對手的前兩個步奏？( 其實不太明白這句是什麼意思@@) Kidd said: “When you’re on the playground, you want to win. You learn really quickly who your scorers are and who the best player is on the court, and you want to give him the ball. That’s where that started, in understanding that if you want to stay on the court, you get it to your best player.” KIDD說：“當你在球場上，你當然會想要贏。你必須知道誰是你的得分手，在球場上最好的球員是誰，你要想辦法把球傳給他。這就是開始，如果你想留在球場上，你必須想辦法把球傳給最好的球員。“ He still is doing that, even with 40 candles in the cake, on the oldest team in the N.B.A. 他現在仍然這樣做，即使蛋糕上插了40根蠟燭，在NBA最老的球隊。 .................................................................. 如果說Melo是 My Idol，Kidd就是我敬佩的人 ^^ Let's Go KNICKS!!!
