Happy homecoming for newest Laker Ariza 歡迎回家啊！！！浴火重生的Ariza Like so many kids who grew up in Los Angeles, Trevor Ariza was curious about what it would be like to play for the Lakers. 跟其它在洛杉磯長大的小孩一樣，Ariza很好奇在湖人隊打球的感覺。 (我也很好奇.....) Ariza, who attended LA Westchester High and spent one year at UCLA before declaring for the NBA draft, knew all about the history of the Lakers, about the stars such as Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant, about all the championships. 在宣布參加NBA選秀前，Ariza才是金價ㄟ愛LA~~哩攻丟某!!。他對於湖人那些偉大球星的歷史早就熟到可以倒過來念。 The Lakers kept an eye on Ariza in his first three years in the NBA, and they finally acquired him from Orlando on Nov. 20. 湖人早就對他流口水了，最後 "Ariza入手"。 "Honestly, I didn't know what to feel at first," Ariza said. "I know I was excited to come back home and play for this organization. Growing up here, you always hear so many great things about it, and I was kind of curious to see what it was like." Ariza：老實說，我不知道當時的感覺是甚麼。我知道我很興奮可以回家並且可以為這支球團打球。生於廝長於廝，偉大的事物我聽太多了，只剩下親自印證這份好奇心。 The Lakers liked Ariza before New York drafted him in the second round in 2004. They liked his defensive skills, his athleticism, his ability to run the court and his attitude. 湖人在04年選秀真的很愛他，防守技巧，體能，跑動以及他的態度。 "We just think that there is a lot of growth potential there for him," Lakers coach Phil Jackson said. "His 17-foot shot looks good. He has good form on it. Now he has to just start being consistent with it to flesh out the rest of his game. Phil：他潛力無窮等待開發阿。17呎的投射看起來還不賴。剩下的比賽呢～　　　我希望他長些肉。 "He has to work defensively getting through picks, understanding that part. But his intensity, his ability to anticipate, playing passing lanes, running the court, slashing, getting to the basket, knowing how to finish -- those are all great things." Phil：他必須下點工夫破解檔拆，但他的積極度，參與度，傳導, 場上的跑動，進攻都是很不賴的。 (感謝DariusKid熱情贊助) The Lakers also like the fact that the 6-foot-7 small forward is just 22; they feel he has an upside and can still improve. 還有一個湖人愛他的因素就是他才22歲，Ariza還在起飛的階段。 Ariza, averaging 6.6 points and 3.1 rebounds in 17 minutes for the Lakers, has shown flashes in three starts, scoring 11.3 points per game. Ariza場均上場17分鐘得 6.6分 3.1籃板。這三場先發更每場平均拿下了11.3分。 "He plays hard every night on the floor, so I'm not surprised by the way he's playing," Orlando general manager Otis Smith said by phone. "He's a great kid." Otis Smith(魔術總管)：他在場上相當的認真，所以他有這樣的表現我不意外。 Ariza frequently calls Smith just to say hi, and thanks for everything. Ariza好幾次打給Smith跟他致謝所有一切的事物。 "It was more than him being my general manager," Ariza said. "It was kind of like my dad. We just talk about everyday life." Ariza：他比平常的GM做得還要多。他對我像是我的老爹，我們總是話家常。 (我更加確定魔術總管不只是好人，還擁有佛心。) All of the Lakers were close to Brian Cook and Maurice Evans, who were traded to Orlando for Ariza, and the players were sad to see them go. 所有湖人的球員對於Cook跟Evans被交易走感到很傷心。 (台灣球迷沒跟你們共事過，所以.....sry Cook <(_ _)>) But the quiet Ariza has fit right in with his attitude and ability and has made defense his primary focus. 但是Ariza來的可說是正是時候，態度，能力，防守的專注力。 "His personality meshes extremely well with the team," Kobe Bryant said. "His length, his speed, his agility, his athleticism are all great things. He's not a bad shooter. I just think the teams he was on in the past didn't allow him to shoot the ball. So as a result, he's kind of hesitant to shoot it. But he has a good stroke. Once he develops that he's really going to be a handful." Kobe：他的特質跟我們球隊相當合得來。高度，速度，敏捷度，體能都是很棒的。　　　他投射也不差啦～我只覺得他以前待的球隊沒讓他有投射的機會。(尼克魔術中槍) 所以投起球來就會猶豫啦～可是他手感不錯。一旦他成長了，他可是個棘手人物喔。 Ariza has two years left on his contract that pays him $3.1 million per season. He has an opt-out clause after this season but sounds happy to be in LA. Ariza還有兩年約，今年球季結束他可以選擇跳脫合約。好消息是，他聽起來待在洛杉磯很開心阿！ ~(￣▽￣)~(＿△＿)~(￣▽￣)~(＿△＿)~(￣▽￣)~ "Everybody is pretty much laid-back like myself," he said. "Everybody wants to have fun and win." Ariza：大家，包括我都很自在。每個人都想打得開心～贏的開心。 -- ~老化的四個徵兆~ ○ zzzz ！ * \○/ ★ 　　 (○ ？ └□ " ○□═ □ 　　□> √√ ╦══╦ ∥ 　　|\ 坐著一直睡躺著睡不著舊的一直提說過就忘記 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.228.125.45
