It's the unhappy topic that never gives the NBA a lasting peace. 這是個讓聯盟一個頭兩個大的問題 The hardest job in sports may be refereeing a pro basketball game -- a truism that only enhances the problem. It's hard because there are subjective decisions to be made on every possession of every game. 最困難的運動其實是當個職業籃球比賽的裁判因為每個判決很難做到完全的客觀 To call a foul or not call a foul. To split a hair between the suspects when defense and offense collide. 你很難去判定到底是攻擊方還是防守方犯規 If you can sit back and watch your favorite team play an NBA game, and never once think your boys got robbed by an official, you're a candidate for sainthood. Either that or your tranquilizer prescription is too heavy. 如果你看著你最喜歡的球隊比賽卻從來不認為裁判偏袒對手的話恭喜你你是個聖人要不然就是你鎮定劑吃得太多了 Fan aggravation hangs like a vague, sour aroma in every arena, ready to overpower any game at any time. 球迷瘋狂的情緒總是充滿每一個球場準備征服每一場比賽 Usually, we get all the way to maybe the second or third playoff game before an officiating controversy breaks out. This year, so far so good. 通常在季後賽的第二或第三場比賽之前就會有聯盟試圖控制比賽的陰謀論出現不過今年還沒看見 The funny thing is that the Lakers and Oklahoma City have played three games without either team so much as referencing a single call by the officials, yet the issue won't leave the series alone because Phil Jackson made what he considered a frank assessment of Kevin Durant's game before it even began. 儘管湖人跟雷霆已經打了三場比賽還沒有一個判決被拿出來炒作但是關於裁判的問題會一直繞著我們因為禪師在系列賽開始前就就先放話了 Jackson said he thought the officials give Durant, the league scoring champ, free passes to the free-throw line. Which, of course, they do. Scorers get calls. Always have, always will. But when Boston's Kevin Garnett said it in March, he got fined. So it was no surprise when Jackson was taxed $35,000, too. 禪師說KD這個新科的得分王是因為裁判一直把他送上罰球線才得來的不過說真的進攻方本來就容易得到犯規所以禪師就得到跟KG一樣的罰款 35000鎂 Most people, of course, figured Jackson was making a pre-emptive strike, mind-gaming Durant and the officials for the postseason. Also correct. 有人說禪師只是想先發制人然後跟KD還有裁判打心理戰還好像真的是這麼一回事 Unfortunately for the NBA, the man who hates this topic more than any other, Commissioner David Stern, managed to amp it up on his own before Game 3. He said if he could go back 20 years, he would have established suspensions for coaches, not "modest" fines, for criticizing officials. 但是聯盟的頭頭史坦大人不喜歡這個問題他還說在20年前就應該對批評裁判的教練建立一個懲罰制度不只是罰款而已 He said he would have started with Jackson and Pat Riley during a Chicago Bulls-New York Knicks series in the 1990s. Jackson (then in Chicago) remembered it well, saying he and New York's Riley were much worse calling out each other's stars than he was this time. 史坦指的就是90年代公牛跟尼克的系列賽當時公牛的教練是禪師尼克的教練是油頭禪師說他也記得跟油頭互相說對方的球星得到太多的偏袒 "Pat said (Michael) Jordan got all the calls -- blatantly," said Jackson on Friday, smiling at the memory. "I said Patrick Ewing travels every time he goes to the basket." "油頭說MJ得到所有的關愛" 禪師回憶著 "然後我回說你們家大猩猩也一直走步阿" Jackson seemed more amused than threatened by Stern's peevishness. "(A suspension) seems awfully heavy-handed to me, but David isn't shy about being heavy-handed," said Jackson, who thinks the NBA got more sensitive to coaches' working refs through the media last spring, recalling fines to Stan Van Gundy and Rick Adelman. 禪師覺得史坦的威脅很幽默 "這個處罰對我來說太重了啦不過史坦對於下毒手這件事一點也不害臊" 禪師認為聯盟對教練在媒體上批評裁判這件事太敏感了 Asked if getting calls through the press really works, Jackson laughed and said, "I don't think it makes a difference. I know the referees take an eye test. I don't know if they take a reading test." 被問到批評是不是有幫助的時候禪師笑了 "應該一點用都沒有吧我知道裁判有做視力檢查不過閱讀測驗有沒有做我就不知道囉" But he did reiterate what everyone knows, that referees are human. He glanced up in the cavernous Ford Center and said, "It's about the energy in the building. They get 20,000 people in here." He said that's the home-court advantage: calls go in your favor. "People lean a certain way," he said, referring to the crowd's effect. "I think it can be statistically proven." 不過禪師也提到一點:裁判也是人 "主場是個很大的影響裁判總是會受到觀眾的影響統計上應該可以證實這一點" It just so happened, of course, that in Game 3 home-town favorite Durant went to the free-throw line 13 times. Visiting star Kobe Bryant shot none -- a true rarity. 禪師說的昨天才發生過雷霆主場的最愛KD站上罰球線13次而來訪的Kobe連一次也沒有這很罕見 "It's a natural evolution of who gets the ball the most, and they'll end up at the foul line," said Jackson. "Unfortunately, it didn't work for Kobe, but it did for Kevin. You have to swallow it and move on." "正常來說誰拿到球的次數越多站上罰球線的機會也越多" 禪師說 "不過這只適用在KD身上不適用Kobe 我們也只能啞巴吃黃蓮 ╮(﹀_﹀)╭ " This time, anyway. In the NBA, there will always be a next time. Fans see. Coaches talk. And no commissioner will ever make the issue go away. 這個問題不是第一次也不會是最後一次球迷等著看事情發展教練也繼續高談闊論但是沒有人可以解決這個問題來源:http://tinyurl.com/24d2azf ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 禪師跟史坦槓上了 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 110.50.168.231
